DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] To further illustrate the present application, the following description will be made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is particularly pointed out that the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a temperature sensing cable, comprising a cable body, the cable body comprises a cable conductor 1, an insulation layer 2, an insulation shield layer 3, a first inner sheath layer 4, a heat dissipation layer 5, an armor layer 6 and a first outer sheath layer 7 arranged from inside to outside.

[0024] Specifically, the cable conductor 1 includes at least one stranded conductor 11; in this embodiment, the cable conductor 1 includes a stranded conductor 11.

[0025] The stranded conductor 11 is provided with a conductor shield layer 12 outside. The conductor shield layer 12 is used to balance the electric field and prevent partial discharge.

[0026] The insulation layer 2 is used for electrical insulation; in this embodiment, the insulation layer 2 is a cross-linked polyethylene insulation layer.

[0027] The insulation shield layer 3 is used to balance the electric field and prevent partial discharge. The insulation shield layer 3 is formed by extruding the insulation shield material on the outer surface of the insulation layer 2. The insulation shield layer 3 and the first inner sheath layer 4 are filled with heat-conducting filler 8; the heat-conducting filler 8 is heat-conducting silica gel, and the heat-conducting silica gel is provided with a plurality of expansion holes (not shown in the figure). The heat-conducting silica gel is a kind of silicon-based material with high heat-conducting performance, which has excellent heat-conducting performance, can expand the heat-conducting area by setting the expansion hole, rapidly transfer the heat generated by the cable conductor 1, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the cable; also makes the temperature change inside the cable more easily monitored.

[0028] The first inner sheath layer 4 is provided with a temperature sensing optical cable 9 for detecting the temperature inside the cable body. In this embodiment, two temperature sensing optical cables 9 are provided in the first inner sheath layer 4, which are symmetrically arranged inside the two sides of the first inner sheath layer 4. The stranded conductor 11 includes the temperature sensing optical cable 9 and a plurality of copper wires 111 tightly stranded outside the temperature sensing optical cable 9. Through the arrangement of three temperature sensing optical cables 9, the temperatures of the center and two points on both sides of the first inner sheath layer 4 can be obtained, and the temperature inside the cable body can be more accurately judged.

[0029] As shown in the reference Figure 2 The temperature sensing optical cable 9 includes a plurality of multimode optical fibers 91, and the outer surface of the multimode optical fiber 91 is sequentially provided with a loose tube 92, a second inner sheath layer 93 and a second outer sheath layer 94. The multimode optical fiber 91 and the loose tube 92 are filled with ointment 95. By arranging the loose tube, the second inner sheath layer 93 and the second outer sheath layer 94, the multimode optical fiber 91 is protected, and the tensile, compressive and lateral pressure resistance of the optical cable is enhanced, so that the optical cable can maintain stable working state in harsh environment. The ointment 95 filled between the multimode optical fiber 91 and the loose tube not only plays a lubricating role, but also helps to evenly distribute the internal temperature of the optical cable, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0030] The temperature acquisition step of the temperature sensing optical cable 9 is: the stranded conductor 11 of the cable generates heat when working, so that the temperature in the cable body rises. The heat-conducting filler 8 fully conducts heat to the first inner sheath layer 4. When the temperature is transmitted to the temperature sensing optical cable 9 in the first inner sheath layer 4, the light pulse propagates in the multimode optical fiber 91 and interacts with the optical fiber molecules to produce Raman scattering. Raman scattering propagates along the optical fiber and is reflected back to the optical fiber sensor connected to one end of the temperature sensing optical cable 9 in the cable body. The optical fiber sensor sends the returned signal to a signal processing module. Then, the ratio of anti-Stokes to Stokes light intensity in Raman scattering theory is used to realize the measurement of the temperature in the cable body, and the light time domain reflection principle can be used to realize positioning.

[0031] The temperature change inside the cable body is accurately obtained through the multimode optical fiber 91 of the temperature sensing optical cable 9, so as to realize real-time and accurate detection of the temperature inside the cable body, effectively avoid the safety hidden danger caused by the overheating of the cable body due to the failure or fire caused by aging, short circuit and the like of the cable, and improve the safety of the cable use.

[0032] The second outer sheath layer 94 is provided with a plurality of filling ropes 96. The filling ropes 96 provide additional support and strength for the temperature sensing optical cable 9, and help prevent the temperature sensing optical cable 9 from deforming or being damaged when the cable is bent or stretched. In this embodiment, the filling ropes 96 are glass filling ropes made of glass fiber. The first inner sheath layer 4 and the second inner sheath layer 93 are both metal woven meshes; the metal woven meshes can eliminate the interference of external electromagnetic fields of the cable, and at the same time play a grounding protection role. Preferably, the metal woven mesh is an aluminum alloy woven mesh. The first outer sheath layer 7 and the second outer sheath layer 94 are both PE sheaths.

[0033] The heat dissipation layer 5 includes a heat conducting layer arranged outside the first inner sheath layer 4 and a heat dissipation outer layer arranged outside the heat conducting layer, and the outer surface of the heat dissipation outer layer is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 51. In this embodiment, the heat conducting layer is one of a heat conducting silica gel layer, a metal layer or a carbon fiber layer, and the heat conducting layer is a honeycomb structure.

[0034] The heat conducting layer acts as a bridge for heat transfer, and can quickly conduct the heat generated inside the cable out. The honeycomb structure of the heat conducting layer increases the surface area of heat conduction, so that the heat can be more evenly dissipated from the heat conducting layer to the heat dissipation outer layer, and then dissipated from the heat dissipation outer layer. The arrangement of the heat dissipation holes 51 further improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation outer layer.

[0035] Preferably, a fireproof flame-retardant layer 10 is arranged between the armor layer 6 and the first outer sheath layer 7; the fireproof flame-retardant layer 10 includes a flame-retardant layer arranged outside the armor layer 7 and an oxygen barrier layer arranged outside the flame-retardant layer. In this embodiment, the flame-retardant layer is a halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant non-woven fabric layer; the oxygen barrier layer is a fireproof mud oxygen barrier layer.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the difference between embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the cable conductor 1 includes two twisted conductors 11; the armor layer 7 is provided with a plurality of temperature sensing optical cables 9. In this embodiment, the armor layer 7 is provided with two temperature sensing optical cables 9 symmetrically arranged inside the two sides of the armor layer 7. By arranging five temperature sensing optical cables 9, the temperature of the center of the cable body, the inside of the cable body and the outside of the cable body can be obtained from the inside to the outside, so that the temperature inside the cable body can be more accurately judged. The temperature obtained by the temperature sensing optical cable 9 in the armor layer 7 and the temperature obtained by the temperature sensing optical cable 9 of the first inner sheath layer 4 can be used to judge the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation layer 5.

Apparently, according to the content of the description, other modifications and changes can be made.
