[0004] In power cable conduits, multiple cable conduits are piled up together, and the space in the conduit is often quite small, which makes it impossible for the heat generated by the cables to dissipate in time. The accumulation of heat not only increases the resistance of the cables, leading to power loss, but the increased resistance also further increases the heat generation, causing the cables to catch fire. In addition, there are often no automatic fire extinguishing devices in the conduit. Utility Model Content

The lower sealing edges 301, upper sealing edges 302, lower housing 201, and upper housing 202 are assembled and fixed together with bolts and nuts to form a sealed chamber with the power cable 1. The sealed chamber is filled with carbon dioxide gas at the same pressure as the outside air. The lower housing 201 and upper housing 202... A heat exchange component is provided on one side of the 2, and a fan 5 is provided on one side of the heat exchange component to drive carbon dioxide gas to circulate between the sealed chamber and the heat exchange component. By setting a lower chamber 201, an upper chamber 202, a lower sealing edge 301 and an upper sealing edge 302 on the outside of the power cable 1 to form a sealed chamber, and filling it with carbon dioxide gas to isolate oxygen, the power cable 1 is prevented from catching fire due to high temperature or other factors. At the same time, the fan 5 drives the carbon dioxide gas to circulate in the sealed chamber and the heat exchange component to carry away the heat generated by the power cable 1 and cool the carbon dioxide gas to ensure heat dissipation capacity, further preventing the power cable 1 from catching fire at high temperature.

[0023] Please see Figures 2-3In this embodiment, a mounting groove 603 is provided at the connection between the lower housing 201 and the upper housing 202, and between the lower sealing edge 301 and the upper sealing edge 302. A rubber sealing strip 601 for enhancing the connection sealing is provided in the mounting groove 603. A base 203 is provided at the bottom of the lower housing 201, and a placement platform 204 is provided above the lower housing 201. An arc-shaped mounting groove 604 is provided on both sides of the lower housing 201 and the upper housing 202. A rubber sealing ring 602 for enhancing the sealing is provided in the arc-shaped mounting groove 604. The lower sealing edge 301 has a vent 303, which is connected to the fan 5 or heat exchange components via a pipe; the rubber sealing strip 601 is squeezed and deformed under the limit of the mounting straight groove 603 to fill the gap and enhance the sealing performance; the rubber sealing ring 602 is squeezed and deformed under the limit of the mounting arc groove 604 to fill the gap and enhance the sealing performance; the placement platform 204 is used to raise the placement of the power cable 1 to prevent the power cable 1 from contacting the lower housing 201; the base 203 supports the lower housing 201 and prevents the lower housing 201 from rolling.

[0024] Please see Figures 4-5 In this embodiment, the heat exchange assembly includes a heat exchange box 4, a fan 7, and heat pipes 8. The heat exchange box 4 is located on one side of the fan 5. A heat pipe 8 is located inside the heat exchange box 4, extending from the top of the heat exchange box 4. Fins 801 are located on the outside of the heat pipes 8. A mounting frame 701 is installed in the gaps between the fins 801. A fan 7 is located inside the mounting frame 701, with all fans 7 pointing in the same direction. Air guide plates 401 are staggered inside the heat exchange box 4. Carbon dioxide gas enters... After passing through the heat exchange box 4, the gas meanders forward inside the heat exchange box 4 under the guidance of the air guide plate 401, thereby reducing the residence time of the gas in the heat exchange box 4 and reducing the flow rate. The mounting frame 701 installs and fixes the fan 7. Under the blowing action of the fan 7, the temperature of the upper end of the heat pipe 8 is lower than that of the lower end of the heat pipe 8, so that the heat pipe 8 absorbs the heat of the carbon dioxide gas in the heat exchange box 4 and directs the heat to the upper end of the heat pipe 8, thereby cooling the carbon dioxide gas. The fins 801 are used to increase the contact area with the carbon dioxide gas and air to improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0025] During operation, the fan 5 drives the carbon dioxide gas to circulate in the sealed chamber and heat exchange box 4. After entering the heat exchange box 4, the carbon dioxide gas meanders forward under the guidance of the air guide plate 401, thereby reducing the residence time of the gas in the heat exchange box 4 and reducing the flow rate. The mounting frame 701 installs and fixes the fan 7. Under the blowing action of the fan 7, the temperature of the upper end of the heat pipe 8 is lower than that of the lower end of the heat pipe 8, so that the heat pipe 8 absorbs the heat of the carbon dioxide gas in the heat exchange box 4 and directs the heat to the upper end of the heat pipe 8, thereby cooling the carbon dioxide gas. The fins 801 are used to increase the contact area with the carbon dioxide gas and air to improve the heat exchange efficiency. After cooling, the carbon dioxide gas enters the sealed chamber to dissipate heat and cool the power cable 1, preventing the power cable 1 from catching fire due to high temperature. At the same time, the carbon dioxide concentration in the sealed chamber is very high, and the burning flame cannot obtain an oxidant, thereby quickly extinguishing the fire and preventing it from spreading.

[0026] Through the above steps, a sealed chamber is formed by setting a lower casing 201, an upper casing 202, a lower sealing edge 301, and an upper sealing edge 302 on the outside of the power cable 1, and filling it with carbon dioxide gas to isolate oxygen, so as to prevent the power cable 1 from catching fire due to high temperature or other factors. At the same time, a fan 5 is set up to drive the carbon dioxide gas to circulate in the sealed chamber and heat exchange components, so as to carry away the heat generated by the power cable 1 and cool the carbon dioxide gas to ensure heat dissipation capacity, further preventing the power cable 1 from catching fire at high temperature.
