The clamping seat 1 is internally provided with a plurality of second mounting holes 12, and the plurality of insulation piercing needles 4 are respectively installed in the plurality of second mounting holes 12. The movable pressing plate 3 is movably installed at the bottom of the clamping seat 1 and is used to press a cable 5 onto the clamping seat 1. The insulation piercing needle 4 includes a piercing needle body 42 and a piston push rod 44. The piercing needle body 42 is installed in the second mounting hole 12 and is movable along the second mounting hole 12. The second mounting hole 12 is provided with the cable 5 at one end close to the movable pressing plate 3. The piercing needle body 42 is internally provided with a storage cavity 43. The piercing needle body 42 is provided with a plurality of connecting channels 45 at the needle tip end. The plurality of connecting channels 45 communicate the second mounting hole 12 and the storage cavity 43. Waterproof glue is stored in the storage cavity 43. The piston push rod 44 is slidably installed in the storage cavity 43 and extrudes the waterproof glue into the second mounting hole 12. The power taking indicator 6 is installed on the clamping seat 1 and is electrically connected with the piercing needle body 42. The power taking indicator 6 is used to display the power taking state. When the piercing needle body 42 successfully takes power, the power taking indicator 6 is always on. When taking power, the main line cable and the branch line cable are placed between the movable pressing plate 3 and the clamping seat 1. The piercing needle body 42 moves towards the cable 5, penetrates the insulation body wrapped outside the cable 5 and leads out the electric energy. Then, the piston push rod 44 is pushed to extrude the waterproof glue in the storage cavity 43 into the gap between the second mounting hole 12 and the piercing needle body 42. The waterproof glue can seal the piercing hole of the cable 5, so as to isolate the inner core of the cable 5 from air and water and achieve good waterproof sealing and lubricating insulation functions.

[0028] In the embodiment, specifically, the clamping seat 1 is internally provided with two second mounting holes 12. One insulation piercing needle 4 is arranged in each second mounting hole 12. Each second mounting hole 12 is provided with a concave groove at the bottom. In the embodiment, the movable pressing plate 3 and the clamping seat 1 are provided with two cables 5 to be connected. The movable pressing plate 3 presses the two cables 5 in the concave grooves at the bottom of the second mounting holes 12 respectively to prevent displacement of the cables 5 during piercing.

[0029] Embodiment two

[0032] In this embodiment, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the second torque nut 41 is installed at one end of the puncture needle body 42 away from the fixing nut 46, the second torque nut 41 is located outside the second mounting hole 12, and the second torque nut 41 is used to drive the puncture needle body 42 to rotate. After the cable 5 is clamped, the operator rotates the second torque nut 41 to make the puncture needle body 42 move downward and penetrate the insulating outer skin of the cable 5, thereby completing the power taking. The second torque nut 41 is mainly used to facilitate the operation of the operator.
