[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figure 1This embodiment provides an intelligent early warning cable, comprising: a conductor assembly 1; a conductor shielding layer 2, an insulation layer 3, and a non-metallic semi-conductive layer 4 sequentially sleeved outside the conductor assembly 1; a metal shielding layer 5 and a metal tube 61 sleeved outside the non-metallic semi-conductive layer 4; a temperature-sensing optical fiber 62 sleeved inside the metal tube 61; and a water-blocking layer 7 and an outer sheath 8 sequentially sleeved outside the metal shielding layer 5 and the metal tube 61; wherein the minimum bending radius of the temperature-sensing optical fiber 62 is smaller than the minimum bending radius of the intelligent early warning cable.

[0033] Specifically, conductor assembly 1 is used to transmit electrical energy, and is made of multiple strands of round copper wire twisted and compressed into conductor assembly 1 or shaped wire conductor assembly 1; conductor shielding layer 2 is used for conductor shielding, and the material of conductor shielding layer 2 is preferably a semi-conductive material; insulation layer 3 is used for insulation, and the material of insulation layer 3 is preferably cross-linked polyethylene; non-metallic semi-conductive layer 4 is used for insulation shielding; metal shielding layer 5 is used for conductive shielding; metal tube 61 is used to house temperature-sensing optical fiber 62, which facilitates the protection of temperature-sensing optical fiber 62 and prevents temperature-sensing optical fiber 62 from interfering with metal shielding layer 5; temperature-sensing optical fiber 62... 2 is used for temperature measurement to facilitate intelligent early warning of the intelligent early warning cable in this solution. The temperature measuring optical fiber 62 can be a single-mode optical fiber or a multi-mode optical fiber, preferably a multi-mode optical fiber. The water-blocking layer 7 is used to block water and prevent damage to the inside of the intelligent early warning cable in this solution. The water-blocking layer 7 is preferably a longitudinally wrapped aluminum-plastic composite tape. The outer sheath 8 is used to provide protection. Since the minimum bending radius of the temperature measuring optical fiber 62 is smaller than the minimum bending radius of the intelligent early warning cable, the temperature measuring optical fiber 62 has good plasticity. When the intelligent early warning cable in this solution is bent, the temperature measuring optical fiber 62 is not easy to break.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 There are two metal tubes 61, which are arranged symmetrically about the conductor assembly 1. Specifically, the symmetrical arrangement helps to prevent the metal tubes 61 and the temperature-sensing optical fiber 62 from affecting the symmetry of the intelligent early warning cable of this scheme, thereby ensuring good stress symmetry of the intelligent early warning cable of this scheme.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 The metal shielding layer 5 includes several copper wires 51, each sleeved around the non-metallic semi-conductive layer 4, with the copper wires 51 and the metal tube 61 arranged adjacent to each other. Specifically, the copper wires 51 facilitate good conductivity shielding of the metal shielding layer 5.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 The distance between adjacent copper wires 51 is equal to the distance between copper wire 51 and metal tube 61. Specifically, the equal distance facilitates the uniform distribution of copper wires 51 and metal tube 61, thereby ensuring good structural uniformity of the intelligent early warning cable in this solution.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2The outer sheath 8 is made of rodent-proof B1 grade thermoplastic halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant polyolefin sheath material, and also includes a nylon sheath 9 fitted over the outer sheath 8. Specifically, the rodent-proof B1 grade thermoplastic halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant polyolefin sheath material facilitates good rodent-proof and flame-retardant performance of the outer sheath 8; the nylon sheath 9 further facilitates good rodent-proof performance, and the material of the nylon sheath 9 is preferably polyamide 12.

[0038] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 The outer sheath 8 is made of UV-resistant, rodent-resistant, B2-grade low-halogen, low-smoke, flame-retardant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath material, and also includes a nylon sheath 9 fitted over the outer sheath 8. Specifically, the UV-resistant, rodent-resistant, B2-grade low-halogen, low-smoke, flame-retardant PVC sheath material ensures that the outer sheath 8 has good UV protection, rodent-resistant, and flame-retardant properties; the nylon sheath 9 further enhances rodent-resistant properties, and the preferred material for the nylon sheath 9 is polyamide 12.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 It also includes a copper strip reverse binding layer 10 and a halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant glass fiber tape 11, which are sequentially sleeved around the metal shielding layer 5 and the metal tube 61. The halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant glass fiber tape 11 is sleeved inside the water-blocking layer 7. Specifically, the copper strip reverse binding layer 10 is used for electromagnetic shielding and provides mechanical protection; the halogen-free, low-smoke, flame-retardant glass fiber tape 11 facilitates the enhancement of flame-retardant and environmental performance.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 It also includes an isolation sleeve 12, a halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant glass fiber tape 13, an armor layer 14, and a halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant glass fiber tape 15, which are sequentially fitted outside the water-blocking layer 7 and fitted inside the outer sheath 8.

[0041] Specifically, the isolation sleeve 12 is used for isolation, and the material of the isolation sleeve 12 is preferably flame-retardant polyethylene; the second halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant glass fiber tape 13 facilitates further enhancement of flame-retardant and environmental performance; the armor layer 14 is used to provide mechanical protection and increase tensile strength, and the material of the armor layer 14 is preferably non-ferromagnetic material; the third halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant glass fiber tape 15 facilitates further enhancement of flame-retardant and environmental performance.

[0042] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
