Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cable technology, and in particular relates to a steel-core reinforced low wind pressure overhead insulated cable. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional high-voltage power transmission methods mostly use high-voltage overhead lines or high-voltage cable lines as transmission channels. As power grid construction continues to expand into areas with complex terrain and climate conditions, the natural environmental challenges faced by power lines are increasing. Among these, strong winds have a particularly significant impact on power lines. Although existing power lines are designed with a certain level of wind pressure resistance in mind, many problems still exist in strong wind environments. For example, the shape and structure of ordinary power lines are prone to generating significant wind resistance under strong winds, leading to excessive wind pressure and phenomena such as conductor galloping and increased swaying. This can not only cause the conductors to collide with surrounding objects, resulting in safety hazards such as insulation damage, but also loosen conductor connections due to excessive swaying, affecting the stability of power transmission and even causing power outages. Furthermore, excessive wind pressure can also exert additional pressure on supporting structures such as towers, increasing the risk of tower collapse and threatening the safe operation of the entire transmission line.
[0003] Traditional copper cables suffer from insufficient mechanical strength. During long-distance installations or in severe weather, they are prone to tensile deformation, excessive sag, and even breakage due to excessive stress, severely impacting the safe and stable operation of transmission lines. To address this issue, a common practice is to incorporate a steel core within the cable. The high strength of the steel core enhances the cable's tensile and bending resistance. However, in practical applications, because the steel core and conductor are different metals, moisture, dust, and corrosive gases in the air can form an electrolyte at the interface, causing a reaction between the steel core and conductor. This leads to a decrease in steel core strength and damage to the conductor's conductivity, increasing line maintenance costs and safety hazards. Furthermore, cable connection mechanisms are required during cable laying or breakage repairs, and sealing at the connection points is a critical concern. Therefore, a steel-core reinforced low-wind-pressure overhead insulated cable is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] 1. In this utility model, the steel wire core is separated from multiple aluminum wire conductors by an isolation layer, which avoids electrochemical corrosion caused by contact between different materials and ensures the conductive environment of the aluminum wire conductors. The multiple steel wire cores form a core support skeleton, enabling the cable to withstand its own weight and external loads. The tensile strength of the multiple ribs fixed on the inner wall of the insulation layer enhances the mechanical strength of the cable. At the same time, the multiple guide grooves opened on the outer wall of the insulation layer guide the airflow along the spiral path, thereby reducing air resistance, reducing wind pressure load in strong wind environments, and improving the stability of the cable under complex weather conditions.

The connecting protrusion of the top conductor crimping block and the connecting groove of the bottom conductor crimping block fit together to achieve positioning and docking of the two cable segments, avoiding misalignment during connection. The water-blocking filler block in the filling component expands when exposed to water to form a seal, preventing moisture from seeping into the conductor connection area. The waterproof sealing strip in the sealing component deforms elastically under the action of bolt tightening force and fills the sealing groove of the top flange to achieve a waterproof sealing effect.

[0037] Specifically, during power transmission, multiple steel wire cores 204 form a supporting skeleton to bear the cable's own weight and external loads.

The multiple aluminum wire conductors 202 transmit current, and the outer shielding layer 201 has a uniform electric field distribution to prevent uneven surfaces of the aluminum wire conductors 202 from causing local electric field concentration and to protect the outer insulation layer 1. The insulation layer 1 blocks current leakage. Multiple ribs 2051 on the inner wall of the insulation layer 1 enhance the cable's mechanical strength, and multiple guide grooves 2052 on its outer wall guide airflow along a spiral path to reduce air resistance, reduce wind pressure load under strong winds, and improve the cable's stability under complex weather conditions.
