Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to cables, and more particularly to a DC charging cable. Background Technology
[0002] DC charging cables are a key component in DC fast charging (DCFC) systems for electric vehicles, used to connect charging stations to vehicle batteries and directly transmit high-power DC power to achieve fast charging.
[0003] Because the DC charging cables consist of multiple wire groups, they tend to be heavy, resulting in poor ease of use. In addition, the DC charging cables have poor heat dissipation performance, which tends to result in low current carrying capacity. Utility Model Content
[0004] Purpose of the utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a DC charging cable that is not only lightweight but also has a high current carrying capacity.
[0005] Technical solution:
[0006] A DC charging cable, comprising:
[0007] Two power line groups, each power line group comprising a cooling pipe, a power conductor, and a power insulation layer wrapped together in sequence;
[0008] Unshielded control wire assembly, shielded control wire assembly, auxiliary power supply wire, and ground wire;
[0009] The sheath covering the power insulation layer, unshielded control wire group, shielded control wire group, auxiliary power line, and ground wire of the power line group.
[0010] Optionally, the core unshielded control wire assembly includes a first control conductor assembly and a winding layer wrapped together in sequence, and also includes a filler rope located between the first control conductor assembly and the winding layer, with the sheath wrapped around the winding layer.
[0011] Optionally, the first control conductor group includes a first control conductor and a first control insulation layer wrapped together in sequence, with the winding layer wrapped around the first control insulation layer.
[0012] Optionally, the core shielded control line group includes a second control conductor group and a shielding layer wrapped in sequence, with the sheath wrapped around the shielding layer.
[0013] Optionally, the second control conductor group includes a second control conductor and a second control insulation layer wrapped together in sequence, with the shielding layer wrapped around the second control insulation layer.
[0014] Optionally, it may also include a spiral reinforcing tube fitted over the sheath.
[0015] Optionally, the spiral reinforcing tube includes:
[0016] A polyether-type polyurethane matrix fitted over the sheath;
[0017] Kevlar bulletproof rope located within the polyether-type polyurethane matrix.
[0018] Optionally, it also includes: a filling portion between the sheath and the power insulation layer of the power line group, the unshielded control line group, the shielded control line group, the auxiliary power line and the ground wire.
[0019] Beneficial effects:
[0020] (1) The cooling pipe is used to pass the coolant, specifically through the two cooling pipes of the two power line groups, to carry out "one in and one out interconnected" circulation cooling, which is conducive to improving the current carrying capacity of the DC charging cable in this scheme;
[0021] (2) The core unshielded control line group is used to transmit signals such as temperature monitoring, so the shielding requirement is not high. Using an unshielded method makes it easier to reduce the quality of the DC charging cable in this scheme and also to reduce costs.
[0022] (3) The polyether-type polyurethane matrix combined with Kevlar bulletproof rope makes the spiral reinforcing tube of this solution have excellent properties such as low density, high strength, tear resistance, drag resistance, flame retardancy and weather resistance, thereby improving service life.
