Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of electrical equipment, and particularly relates to a loosening-preventing cable accessory wiring terminal. BACKGROUND

[0002] The wiring terminal is a power fitting for connecting cables and equipment terminals to continuously conduct power in a power system, and is widely used in power transmission and distribution networks. The existing terminal structure comprises a plate part and a pipe part, the plate part is clamped between the sleeve and the connecting rod, the pipe part is internally provided with a pipe hole, and the conductor is connected in the pipe hole. Because the wiring terminal and the equipment sleeve both have resistance, when the line load is large, the wiring terminal connection part will heat up, the screw will oxidize, and in addition to thermal expansion and cold contraction, the connection part will deform, the screw will loosen, the cable and the sleeve connection will loosen and be not firm, thereby increasing the loop resistance value, causing heating and even causing a fire, and forming an accident hazard. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, and provides a loosening-preventing cable accessory wiring terminal.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme provided by the present application is as follows:

[0005] The anti-loosening cable accessory terminal includes a plate (1) and a tube (2) connected to the plate (1). The plate (1) has a plate hole (3), and the tube (2) has an inner hole (4). The plate (1) is provided with an anti-loosening device. The plate (1) has a semi-enclosed channel (5) perpendicular to the plate surface, an internal channel (6) perpendicular to the semi-enclosed channel (5), and a hollow channel (7) parallel to the semi-enclosed channel (5).

The edge of the other end face of the second push rod (11) is connected to the edge of the end face of the third push rod (12) and the edge of the end face of the fourth push rod (13). The connection points of the end face edges of the first push rod (8) and the second push rod (11), the second push rod (11) and the third push rod (12), and the second push rod (11) and the fourth push rod (13) are all inclined surfaces (17). When the first spring (9) and the second spring (14) are under load, the first steel ball (10) is in the channel opening, and the second steel ball (15) and the third steel ball (16) are exposed in the channel opening.

[0006] Preferably, the anti-loosening device is positioned above the plate hole (3).

[0007] Preferably, the first spring (9) is a compression spring and the second spring (14) is a tension spring.

[0008] Preferably, the inclined plane is a 45° inclined plane.

[0009] The present invention will be further described below:

[0010] The application scenarios of the cable accessory terminal block described in this invention are as follows: Figure 4 As shown, one end of the cable accessory sleeve is fitted onto the wall sleeve (18). The cable accessory includes a front connector (19) and a rear connector (20). Cable accessory terminals are inserted into both the front connector (19) and the rear connector (20). The plate holes of the cable accessory terminal plate are passed through by bolts (21). One side of the plate of the terminal in the front connector (19) abuts against the end face of the wall sleeve (18) and the other side abuts against the end face of the connecting rod (22). One side of the plate of the terminal in the rear connector (20) abuts against the end face of the connecting rod (22) and the other side abuts against the flat washer (23) fastened to the bolt (21) by a nut (24). This invention incorporates an anti-loosening device on the plate of the cable accessory terminal block. When the plate is pressed down by components on both sides, the first steel ball receives pressure and is pushed into the opening of the semi-enclosed channel. The first steel ball provides thrust to the first push rod, causing the first push rod to move horizontally towards the closed end of the semi-enclosed channel and compress the first spring. Simultaneously, due to the horizontal movement of the first push rod, the edge of the first push rod's end face and the edge of the second push rod's end face are relatively displaced, pushing the second push rod to move vertically upward. Furthermore, due to the vertical movement of the second push rod, the edge of the second push rod's end face and the edges of the third and fourth push rods are relatively displaced, pushing the third and fourth push rods to move horizontally towards the two openings of the hollow channel, thereby exposing the second and third steel balls to the channel openings. At this time, the second spring is in a stretched state, and the second and third steel balls abut against the end faces on both sides of the plate (effectively increasing the frictional resistance between the terminal and the component in contact with the terminal, preventing relative displacement between the terminal and the component in contact with the terminal), forming a secure and tight connection to prevent the cable accessory from loosening.
