[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example
[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figures 3-6This utility model provides the following technical solution: a modified polypropylene insulated low-voltage power cable, including a sheath layer 1, the sheath layer 1 including a snap-fit assembly 2, a sleeve 21 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of one end of the sheath layer 1, the sleeve 21 having a slot 210 at both the upper and lower ends, a spring plate 29 fixedly connected to one end of the inner wall of the slot 210, a pressing block 22 fixedly connected to the top end of the spring plate 29, and a fixing block 211 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring plate 29, the sheath layer 1 being sleeved with the sleeve 2 One end of the sheath layer 1 is provided with a sliding groove 25, and the other end of the sheath layer 1 is fixedly connected to a cylindrical head 23. The cylindrical head 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 25. The end of the sheath layer 1 connected to the sliding groove 25 is provided with a moving groove 27. One end of the inner wall of the moving groove 27 is fixedly connected to a screw 28. The outer surface of the screw 28 is movably connected to a latch 24. One end of the latch 24 is movably connected to a spring 26. The bottom end of the spring 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the moving groove 27. The top end of the latch 24 is fitted into the inner wall of the latch groove 210.
[0026] Specifically, when the sheath layer 1 is damaged, the worker first presses the pressing block 22. The pressing block 22 pushes the fixing block 211 downward through the spring plate 29. As the fixing block 211 moves, it pushes the latch 24 downward, causing one end of the latch 24 to leave the inside of the slot 210 and release the latch. Then, the worker pulls the sheath layer 1 with the cylinder head 23 out of the slide groove 25 to complete the disassembly, achieving the purpose of disassembling the damaged sheath layer 1. Then, the worker slides one end of the new sheath layer 1 with the cylinder head 23 along the inner wall of the sleeve 21 towards the slide groove 25. During insertion, the latch 24 is squeezed, causing it to move downwards against the elastic force of the spring 26. When the cylinder head 23 is fully inserted into the slide groove 25, the latch 24 rebounds upwards under the elastic force of the spring 26, thus forming a latch and securing the replaced sheath layer 1. This structure is relatively simple and quick to operate, reducing the time and manpower required for maintenance. It is not necessary to replace the entire cable due to damage to the sheath layer 1; only the damaged sheath layer 1 needs to be replaced, which greatly saves materials and replacement costs. It effectively prevents external factors from interfering with the cable and ensures the stability and safety of power transmission.
[0027] Please see Figure 2 The sheath layer 1 contains several wire cores 3, and the outer surface of the several wire cores 3 is covered with an insulation layer 8.
[0028] Specifically, the outer surface of several conductors 3 is covered with an insulating layer 8, which can isolate each conductor 3 from each other, prevent current from being conducted between different conductors 3, and ensure that the current can be transmitted along the path of each conductor 3, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of power transmission.
[0029] Please see Figure 2 A support frame 6 is provided on the outer surface of the insulation layer 8, and a filler layer 7 is filled between the insulation layer 8 and the support frame 6.
[0030] Specifically, the support frame 6 is used to keep the core 3 and insulation layer 8 in a stable position and prevent them from being excessively displaced or deformed during cable use. The filler layer 7 can enhance the buffering effect, reduce the direct impact of external shocks on the core 3 and insulation layer 8, and improve the integrity and stability of the internal structure of the cable.
[0031] Please see Figure 2 The outer surface of the support frame 6 is injection molded with a protective layer 5, the outer surface of the protective layer 5 is covered with an armor layer 4, and the outer surface of the armor layer 4 is fitted with a sheath layer 1.
[0032] Specifically, the protective layer 5 can further enhance the protection of internal components, the armor layer 4 is mainly used to increase the mechanical strength of the cable, resist external forces such as compression, tension and impact, and protect the internal structure from damage, and the sheath layer 1 mainly plays a comprehensive protective role such as waterproofing, moisture-proofing, corrosion prevention and wear resistance.
[0033] Please see Figure 2 The insulating layer 8 is made of modified polypropylene material, and the filling layer 7 is made of thermally conductive silicone.
[0034] Specifically, the insulation layer 8 uses modified polypropylene, which can effectively prevent current leakage and ensure the safety of power transmission. The filling layer 7 uses thermally conductive silicone, which can help the heat generated by the core 3 during operation to dissipate more quickly, avoid local overheating, play a certain buffering role, and protect the internal structure.
[0035] Please see Figure 4 The center of the cylinder head 23 and the center of the groove 25 are on the same straight line.
[0036] Specifically, the center of the cylindrical head 23 and the center of the groove 25 are on the same straight line, which can make the fit between the cylindrical head 23 and the groove 25 tight and uniform, without deviation or jamming, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the cable sheath layer 1 connection.
[0037] Please see Figure 2 The support frame 6 has a circular outer shape and a cross-shaped inner axis.
[0038] Specifically, the support frame 6 has a circular outer shape, which helps to distribute the support force evenly inside the cable and fit better with the surrounding structure. The internal cross-shaped structure can provide stable support in different directions, enhancing the overall strength and stability of the support frame 6.
[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the sheath layer 1 is damaged during use, the operator first presses the pressing block 22. The pressing block 22, through the spring plate 29, pushes the fixing block 211 downwards. Simultaneously, the fixing block 211 moves, pushing the latch 24 downwards, causing one end of the latch 24 to leave the slot 210, thus releasing the latch. Then, the operator pulls the sheath layer 1 with the cylindrical head 23 out of the slide groove 25, completing the disassembly and achieving the purpose of disassembling the damaged sheath layer 1. Next, the operator slides one end of the new sheath layer 1 with the cylindrical head 23 along the inner wall of the sleeve 21 towards the slide groove 25. During the insertion of the cylindrical head 23, it squeezes the latch 24, causing the latch 24 to overcome the elastic force of the spring 26 and move downwards. When the cylindrical head 23 is fully inserted... The cable is fully inserted into the groove 25, and the latch 24 rebounds upward under the elastic force of the spring 26, thus forming a latch to fix the replaced sheath layer 1. This structure is relatively simple and quick to operate, reducing the time and manpower required for maintenance. It is not necessary to replace the entire cable due to damage to the sheath layer 1; only the damaged sheath layer 1 needs to be replaced, which greatly saves materials and replacement costs. It effectively prevents external factors from interfering with the cable, ensuring the stability and safety of power transmission. The support frame 6 enhances the tensile performance of the cable, improves the overall tensile strength of the cable, and enables it to withstand greater tensile forces without damaging the internal structure. It also prevents the conductor 3 from excessively moving and tangling when the cable is bent, stretched, or subjected to external forces, thereby ensuring the stability of current transmission.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
