The second clamping block has an inner hole in its middle, and an air-permeable insulating gasket is provided in the inner hole. A sealing gasket is provided between the clamping surface of the second clamping block and the high-voltage cable. The sealing gasket has a through hole in its middle to communicate with an opening on the high-voltage cable and the inner hole. A fixing seat is installed on the second clamping block, and an air nozzle is installed on the fixing seat. The inner cavity of the air nozzle communicates with the inner hole.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gas charging / suction device for high-voltage cables in this embodiment includes a first clamping block 1 and a second clamping block 2 for interconnecting and cooperating to clamp the high-voltage cable. The second clamping block 2 has an inner hole 20 in the middle, and an air-permeable insulating gasket 21 is provided in the inner hole 20. A sealing gasket 22 is provided between the clamping surface of the second clamping block 2 and the high-voltage cable. The sealing gasket 22 has a through hole in the middle to connect the opening on the high-voltage cable with the inner hole 20. A fixing seat 3 is installed on the second clamping block 2, and an air nozzle 4 is installed on the fixing seat 3. The inner cavity of the air nozzle 4 is connected to the inner hole 20. A sealing cover 5 is also installed on the fixing seat 3, and the air nozzle 4 is located inside the sealing cover 5 to isolate the inner hole 20 from the outside air. The structure of the gas charging / suppressing device for high-voltage cables in this embodiment can achieve limiting and reliable sealing of the openings on the high-voltage cables, preventing cable damage due to the openings, solving the sealing problem in humid operating environments, and using the first clamping block 1 and the second clamping block 2 to achieve firm clamping and fixing of the high-voltage cables, providing good stress strength for sealing the openings on the high-voltage cables. The use of the ventilable insulating gasket 21 can improve the insulation strength of the gas charging / suppressing device without affecting the ventilation capacity. The sealing cover can be easily removed for gas charging / suppressing operations because the air nozzle 4 is located inside the sealing cover 5.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the ventilable insulating pad 21 has a cross groove 211 on at least one side, and a through hole 212 is provided at each of the four ends of the cross groove 211. Through the above structure, the through hole 212 of the cross groove 211 is staggered from the opening of the hole on the high-voltage cable. The cross groove 211 is composed of two intersecting slots that are perpendicular to each other. The slot openings face upwards. Since the side wall of the high-voltage cable is an arc surface structure, it can be ensured that at least one slot is in a non-compressed state during use and will open due to the arc surface structure. The slots are interconnected through the through holes 212 at both ends, which can make the pressure in the inner hole 20 more balanced and stable, and improve the ventilation capacity.

[0026] To facilitate the removal of the sealing cover 5 and ensure a seal between the sealing cover 5 and the fixing base 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixed base 3 is provided with a threaded post 31, and a first sealing ring 32 is fitted at the root of the threaded post 31. The sealing cover 5 is fitted onto the threaded post 31 and threadedly engaged with it. The first sealing ring 32 is clamped between the sealing cover 5 and the threaded post 31 to isolate the air nozzle 4 located inside the sealing cover 5 from the external air. Through the threaded connection, the rotation of the threaded connection generates a compressive force on the first sealing ring 32. The first sealing ring 32 is interference-fitted with both the sealing cover 5 and the fixed base 3, making the seal between the sealing cover 5 and the fixed base 3 more reliable. Since the first sealing ring 32 is fitted at the root of the threaded post 31, it can be easily replaced once it ages.

[0027] To achieve a seal between the contact surfaces of the second clamping block 2 and the fixed seat 3, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sealing groove 23 is provided on the contact surface of the second clamping block 2 located on the fixed seat 3, and a second sealing ring 24 is embedded in the sealing groove 23 to achieve sealing between the contact surfaces of the second clamping block 2 and the fixed seat 3.

[0028] To facilitate the removal of the sealing cap 5, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the sealing cover 5 is provided with anti-slip texture 51, which makes the disassembly and installation of the sealing cover 5 more reliable. Figure 1 The anti-slip texture 51 is a grid pattern, but other textures can also be used as needed to achieve anti-slip properties.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the sealing cap 5 is provided with an end cap 52, and the end cap 52 is a hollow double-layer structure to improve the pressure resistance of the end cap 52.

[0030] As an optional implementation, a detection module 6 is also installed on the mounting base 3. The detection module 6 can be a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, and a humidity sensor, which can be used to conveniently monitor the temperature, humidity, and pressure of the buffer layer of the high-voltage cable, so as to further determine the operating status of the high-voltage cable.

[0031] In order to improve the clamping strength of the first clamping block 1 and the second clamping block 2 for the high-voltage cable, the clamping surfaces of the first clamping block 1 and the second clamping block 2 in this embodiment are provided with anti-slip threads.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the connection strength between the first clamping block 1 and the second clamping block 2, in this embodiment, at least one side of the first clamping block 1 and the second clamping block 2 is provided with a connecting plate 11, and the connecting plates 11 on both sides of the first clamping block 1 and the second clamping block 2 are connected by multiple connecting bolts 12. In addition, the first clamping block 1 and the second clamping block 2 can also be connected by a joint movable connection on one side and a bolt connection on the other side as needed.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment also provides a high-voltage cable, including a cable body 7 with an opening 71 on its outer wall, and the aforementioned air charging / taking device for high-voltage cables is installed at the opening 71 of the cable body 7.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
