Solution Overview

Problem

Cables in the market generate heat during power transmission due to multiple layers, leading to increased internal heat and reduced service life.

Innovation Solution

A photoelectric composite flexible high-voltage reel cable design featuring a polyethylene outer sheath, double-face plastic-coated steel belt, insulating tape, anti-crack protective sleeve, power cord body, filler rope, reinforcement, and optical fiber body, with a metal radiating column and movable grooves to dissipate heat and prevent moisture ingress.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If multiple layers and cores are added to the cable to improve buffering and bearing capacity, then the cable's mechanical strength and protection are improved, but the internal heat accumulation increases and service life is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebearing capacityVSAvoidservice life
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the heat dissipation function from the traditional multi-layer cable structure by introducing a dedicated heat dissipation column that penetrates through the outer sheath. This separate heat dissipation pathway removes the harmful heat accumulation effect while preserving the protective function of the outer layers, thereby extending cable service life without compromising mechanical strength

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The heat dissipation column is nested within the existing cable structure, penetrating through the outer sheath and extending into the cable core. This nested design allows the heat dissipation function to be integrated within the existing multi-layer structure, enabling simultaneous achievement of mechanical protection and thermal management

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If multiple protective layers are added to the cable, then the cable's buffering and protection performance are improved, but the heating speed decreases and cumulative heat increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprotection performanceVSAvoidinternal heat
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The heat dissipation column acts as an intermediary element that facilitates heat transfer from the cable core through the outer sheath to the surrounding environment. This intermediary structure provides a dedicated thermal pathway that bypasses the insulating effect of the protective layers, enabling effective heat dissipation while maintaining the integrity of the protective layer structure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
