DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the implementation methods of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the implementation methods of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the implementation methods of this application. Obviously, the described implementation methods are part of the implementation methods of this application, not all of the implementation methods. Based on the implementation methods in this application, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the present application for protection, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] An underwater wet-plug connector with an auxiliary structure according to an embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] See also Figure 1-Figure 11 According to an embodiment of the present application, an underwater wet-plug connector with an auxiliary structure includes: a male plug 1, a female plug 2, a telescopic shell assembly 3, an end cover shell 4, a first sealing barrier assembly 5, a second sealing barrier assembly 6 and a rotating connection assembly 7.

[0040] Among them, through the cooperation of the telescopic shell assembly 3, the end cover shell 4, the first sealing baffle assembly 5, the second sealing baffle assembly 6, the rotating connection assembly 7 and the counterweight assembly 8, the wet plugging and unplugging operation between the cable male plug 1 and the female plug 2 in the diving area can be realized, which can effectively improve the efficiency of cable laying and subsequent maintenance operations in the diving area.

[0041] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The end cover 4 is sleeved on the outside of the female plug 2, and a first convex ring 41 is provided at the port of the end cover 4. The second sealing baffle assembly 6 is installed on the end cover 4 to block the inner end surface of the sealing end cover 4. The telescopic shell assembly 3 includes a back plate 31, a corrugated shell 32 and a limit shell 33. The back plate 31 is sleeved on the outside of the male plug 1, and the two ends of the corrugated shell 32 are respectively connected to the back plate 31 and the limit shell 33. The first sealing baffle assembly 5 is installed on the limit shell 33 to block the inner end surface of the sealing limit shell 33. The movable end surface of the first sealing baffle assembly 5 is provided with an air outlet pipe 55, and a first one-way valve 56 is provided outside the air outlet pipe 55. The rotating connection assembly 7 includes a rotating ring portion 71 and a second convex ring 72. The rotating ring portion 71 is rotatably connected to the limit shell 33 and the second convex ring 72. The second convex ring 72 and the rotating ring portion 71 are threadedly disassembled and assembled. The rotating ring portion 71 is radially provided with a drainage hole 73. A water outlet pipe 74 is arranged outside the drainage hole 73, and a second one-way valve 75 is arranged on the water outlet pipe 74. A counterweight assembly 8 connected to the rotating ring portion 71 is arranged outside the water outlet pipe 74. A slot hole 76 is opened on the outside of the second convex ring 72.

[0042] In the underwater wet-plug connector with auxiliary structure, the end cover shell 4, the second sealing barrier assembly 6, the first convex ring 41 and the female plug 2 are an integral part; the telescopic shell assembly 3, the first sealing barrier assembly 5, the rotating connection assembly 7 and the male plug 1 are another integral part.

[0043] When the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 are plugged in, the first sealing baffle assembly 5 is in the state of sealing the internal cavity of the telescopic shell assembly 3, so that the end face of the male plug 1 is isolated from water. The second sealing baffle assembly 6 is in the state of sealing the internal cavity of the end cover shell 4, so that the end face of the female plug 2 is isolated from water. The rotating ring portion 71 at one end of the male plug 1 and the first convex ring 41 at one end of the female plug 2 are connected and installed by screwing. The specific operation process is to insert one end of a rod-shaped tool into the groove 76 outside the second convex ring 72, and the tool drives the second convex ring 72 to rotate. The rotating second convex ring 72 is screwed and connected with the first convex ring 41. At this time, the first sealing baffle assembly 5, the second sealing baffle assembly 6, the rotating connection assembly 7 and the first convex ring 41 form a docking cavity filled with water. When the end of the first convex ring 41 is gradually inserted into the second convex ring 72, the cavity is compressed, the water inside is pressurized, and the over-pressure water is discharged outward through the drainage hole 73 on the rotating ring part 71 through the water outlet pipe 74 and the second one-way valve 75 until the first convex ring 41 and the second convex ring 72 are screwed together. A certain distance margin is left between the end face of the male plug 1 and the first sealing barrier assembly 5, pushing the male plug 1 to move toward the first sealing barrier assembly 5, that is, the corrugated shell 32 is compressed while the male plug 1 moves, and the over-pressure air inside the corrugated shell 32 enters the cavity containing water through the air outlet pipe 55 and the first one-way valve 56. Since the rotating ring part 71 is a lubricated rotating structure, in the horizontally plugged connector, under the action of the counterweight assembly 8, the counterweight assembly 8 is always at the bottom of the rotating ring part 71, which also makes the drainage hole 73 in the rotating ring part 71 always at the bottom position. After the compressed air in the bellows casing 32 enters the cavity through the air outlet pipe 55, the air pre-occupies the upper position inside the cavity, and the water inside the cavity is discharged from the drainage hole 73 and the water outlet pipe 74 at the bottom until the bubbles are discharged from the water outlet pipe 74, and the male plug 1 and the bellows casing 32 are stopped from being pushed. At this time, the water inside the cavity has been completely discharged, and the first sealing barrier assembly 5 and the second sealing barrier assembly 6 are lifted up to open the sealing end surface of the limit shell 33 and the end cover shell 4, and the male plug 1 is continued to be pushed until it is inserted into the female plug 2 to complete the docking.

[0044] When unplugging the male plug 1 and the female plug 2, unplug the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 in advance, put down the first sealing barrier assembly 5 and the second sealing barrier assembly 6 to seal the limit housing 33 and the end cover housing 4 respectively. Finally, rotate the second convex ring 72 to separate it from the first convex ring 41. The underwater wet plug connector with auxiliary structure can smoothly complete the wet plugging of the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 in the diving area, and improve the speed and efficiency of cable construction and subsequent maintenance.

[0045] In the process of plugging and unplugging, in order to more clearly see the plugging and unplugging operations of the male plug 1 and the female plug 2, the end cover 4 is preferably made of a transparent material.

[0046] In the above specific implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The first sealing baffle assembly 5 and the second sealing baffle assembly 6 have the same structural specifications. The first sealing baffle assembly 5 includes a baffle 51, a top shell 52 and an adjusting bolt 53. The top shell 52 is fixed to the top of the limiting shell 33. An inner cavity 54 is provided inside the top shell 52. A through hole 35 communicating with the inner cavity 54 is provided at the top of the limiting shell 33. The adjusting bolt 53 is threaded through the top wall of the top shell 52, and the bottom end of the adjusting bolt 53 is rotatably connected to the baffle 51. The baffle 51 can be made of a composite sheet with good hardness and sealing. The bottom wall and both sides of the end cover shell 4 are provided with slots 34 that match the baffle 51.

[0047] The lifting and unsealing of the first sealing barrier assembly 5 and the lowering and sealing of the second sealing barrier assembly 6 are based on the same principle. The adjusting bolt 53 is rotated to drive the partition 51 to move in the vertical direction. When the partition 51 moves to the inner cavity 54, the cavities of the outer shells of the male plug 1 and the female plug 2 are in a connected state. When the partition 51 moves to the inside of the slot 34, the cavities inside one side of the male plug 1 and the cavities inside one side of the female plug 2 are both in an isolated state.

[0048] Further, the air outlet pipe 55 penetrates the partition plate 51 in the first sealing baffle assembly 5. The air outlet pipe 55 is arranged near the lower position of the end surface of the partition plate 51 in the first sealing baffle assembly 5. When the partition plate 51 moves upward, the air outlet pipe 55 will never contact the inner top wall of the rotating ring portion 71 when moving upward.

[0049] Specifically, a sealing portion 36 is provided between the end cover 4 and the female plug 2 and between the back plate 31 and the male plug 1. The sealing portion 36 can adopt a sealing structure, such as a common sealing ring combined with a sealant for sealing, or a mechanical sealing structure with a better sealing effect.

[0050] For specific settings, see Figure 6-Figure 9 The rotating ring portion 71 includes an inner ring 711 and a side ring 712. The two side rings 712 are respectively fixed to the end faces of the second convex ring 72 and the limiting shell 33. The inner ring 711 is rotatably arranged between the two side rings 712, and the drainage hole 73 is arranged at a radial position of the inner ring 711. Balls 715 distributed in an annular array are rollingly arranged on both end faces of the inner ring 711, and a ring groove 714 matching the ball 715 is arranged on the side of the side ring 712 close to the inner ring 711.

[0051] The two groups of side rings 712 in the rotating ring part 71 and the second convex ring 72 and the limiting shell 33 can be respectively welded. The ball 715 cooperates with the annular groove 714 on the end surface of the side ring 712 to reduce the friction between the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712. When the horizontal position connector is plugged in, under the counterweight of the counterweight assembly 8, the drainage hole 73 on the inner ring 711 is easier to rotate and fall to the lowest position for drainage, that is, the water inside the cavity formed by the first convex ring 41, the first sealing baffle assembly 5, the second sealing baffle assembly 6 and the rotating connection assembly 7 is easier to be drained.

[0052] Furthermore, the rotating connection assembly 7 further includes a first sealing ring 717, which is arranged at the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712 in contact with each other near the inner wall. The rotating connection assembly 7 further includes a second sealing ring 718, which is arranged at the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712 in contact with each other near the outer wall. The inner ring 711 and the side ring 712 are respectively provided with limiting grooves of annular structures cooperating with the first sealing ring 717 and the second sealing ring 718.

[0053] The first sealing ring 717 and the second sealing ring 718 ensure good sealing between the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712 during the rotation, so that external water is not easy to enter the interior of the entire shell.

[0054] The ball bearing 715 in the underwater wet plug connector with auxiliary structure can be pre-lubricated with lubricating oil, and the lubricating rotation effect between the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712 will decrease in the later stage, affecting the lubricating rotation effect between the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712.

[0055] In the above specific implementation, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The counterweight assembly 8 includes a shell seat 81, a piston 84, a nut 85 and a push bolt 86. The shell seat 81 is fixed to the outside of the inner ring 711, and a mounting groove 83 matching the water outlet pipe 74 is provided on the shell seat 81. An oil storage chamber is provided inside the shell seat 81, and the piston 84 is slidably arranged at the bottom end of the oil storage chamber. The nut 85 is fixed to the bottom of the shell seat 81, and the nut 85 and the shell seat 81 are directly fixed by welding. The push bolt 86 is threadedly matched with the nut 85, and the screw of the push bolt 86 is movable through the bottom wall of the shell seat 81 and is rotatably connected with the piston 84. Both sides of the top of the shell seat 81 are provided with oil outlet holes 82, the end surface of the inner ring 711 is provided with a groove 713, and the ball 715 is rollingly arranged inside the groove 713. The inner ring 711 is provided with an oil filling hole 716 connected with the groove 713 and the oil outlet hole 82.

[0056] The design is that the counterweight assembly 8 is not only a counterweight block in the connector, but also can provide lubricating oil, so that the ball 715 always keeps a lubricated state. The specific operating principle is: turn the push bolt 86, and push the piston 84 to move inside the shell seat 81 under the threaded cooperation of the nut 85 to squeeze the space inside the oil storage chamber, and the lubricating oil inside the oil storage chamber is squeezed upward and discharged from the oil outlet 82. The lubricating oil discharged from the oil outlet 82 enters the groove 713 and the annular groove 714 on the end face of the inner ring 711 through the oil filling hole 716 inside the inner ring 711, that is, the space formed by the groove 713 and the annular groove 714 is filled with lubricating oil, so that the ball 715 is always immersed in the lubricating oil, and has less friction when rolling, that is, there is less friction when the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712 rotate, and it also ensures that the inner ring 711 and the side ring 712 can always rotate lubricated. When the next maintenance operation is performed, the push bolt 86 is continuously rotated to push the piston 84 , and the piston 84 can continue to push the internal lubricating oil into the groove 713 , so that the ball 715 always maintains a good lubrication effect.

[0057] The mounting groove 83 is used to mount and support the water outlet pipe 74 .

[0058] Specifically, the first sealing ring 717 and the second sealing ring 718 are respectively arranged at the inner bottom wall and the inner top wall near the end wall inside the groove 713. When the space inside the groove 713 and the side ring 712 is filled with lubricating oil, the lubricating oil inside the space of the groove 713 and the ring groove 714 is in a positive pressure state. At this time, the positive pressure oil also squeezes the first sealing ring 717 and the second sealing ring 718 that can squeeze the side, so that the gap sealed by the first sealing ring 717 and the second sealing ring 718 is further blocked, and the sealing effect of the first sealing ring 717 and the second sealing ring 718 is further improved.
