[0023] A connecting portion 11 is provided at the top of the terminal body 1, and the connecting portion 11 is connected to the conductor terminal 2. An interface 12 is provided at the bottom of the terminal body 1, and the interface 12 is connected to one end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3. The other end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3 is used to connect the three-phase main cable 7.

[0024] The conductor sealing structure 4 is sleeved at the connection between the connecting part 11 and the conductor terminal 2, the bottom sealing structure 5 is sleeved at the connection between the interface 12 and the cold shrink sheath tube 3, and the cable sealing structure 6 is sleeved at the connection between the cold shrink sheath tube 3 and the three-phase main cable 7.

[0025] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present invention are: a conductor sealing structure 4, a bottom sealing structure 5 and a cable sealing structure 6 are correspondingly arranged at the connection between the terminal body 1, the conductor terminal 2 and the cold shrink sheath 3, so that the terminal has multiple seals, realizes all-round and high-strength protection, improves the overall hardware performance of the terminal, prolongs the service life, and ensures safe operation.

[0026] Furthermore, the conductor sealing structure 4 includes a sealing tube 41 and a first filling member 42;

[0027] The sealing tube 41 has a first tube opening and a second tube opening which are in the same communication;

[0028] The conductor terminal 2 passes through the first pipe opening, and is connected to the connecting portion 11 passing through the second pipe opening in the sealing tube 41;

[0029] The first filling member 42 fills the gap between the inner wall of the sealing tube 41 and the conductor terminal 2 and the gap between the inner wall of the sealing tube 41 and the connecting portion 11 .

[0030] From the above description, it can be seen that when protecting the connection between the conductor terminal 2 and the connecting part 11, the sealing tube 41 provides external overall sealing protection, and then the first filling member 42 is used to fill the internal gap, which can not only prevent water from entering the terminal, but also delay the aging and corrosion of the connection, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0031] Furthermore, the conductor sealing structure 4 further includes a first sealing member 43;

[0032] The first sealing member 43 is disposed in the gap between the first pipe opening and the conductor terminal 2 and in the gap between the second pipe opening and the connecting portion 11 .

[0033] From the above description, it can be seen that on the basis of the sealing tube 41 and the first filling member 42, a first sealing member 43 is additionally provided to perform sealing treatment on the position located at the pipe opening, thereby improving the stability of the sealing structure and the protective effect.

[0034] Furthermore, a cold shrink sealing sleeve is provided on a surface of the first sealing member 43 facing the outside of the sealing tube 41 .

[0035] From the above description, it can be seen that the sealing tube 41, the first filling member 42 and the first sealing member 43 are used as the first sealing direction, and a cold shrink sealing sleeve is added as the second sealing direction, using multi-layer protection to prevent water from penetrating into the terminal from the pipe opening.

[0036] Further, the bottom sealing structure 5 includes a first protective sleeve 51 and a second sealing member 52;

[0037] The first protective sleeve 51 is sleeved on the connection between the interface 12 and the cold shrink sheath tube 3, and the end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3 is inserted into the interface 12. The second sealing member 52 is located inside the first protective sleeve 51, and the second sealing member 52 blocks the gap between the interface 12 and the end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3.

[0038] From the above description, it can be seen that after the interface 12 is connected to the cold shrink sheath tube 3, the second seal 52 is first used to seal the gap at the connection, and then the first protective sleeve 51 is used to wrap the entire connection and the second seal 52, so as to cooperate with the conductor sealing structure 4 to provide comprehensive and strict protection for the interior of the terminal body 1.

[0039] Furthermore, there are at least two interfaces 12 and at least two cold shrink sheath tubes 3 in one-to-one correspondence.

[0040] Further, the cable sealing structure 6 includes a second protective sleeve 61 and a second filling piece 62;

[0041] The second protective sleeve 61 is provided with a first sleeve opening and a second sleeve opening which are connected in the same manner. The end of the cold shrink sleeve tube 3 away from the terminal body 1 passes through the first sleeve opening and is connected to the three-phase main cable 7 passing through the second sleeve opening in the second protective sleeve 61. The second filling piece 62 is located in the gap between the inner side wall of the second protective sleeve 61 and the cold shrink sleeve tube 3.

[0042] From the above description, it can be seen that the second protective sleeve 61 is put on the connection between the cold shrink sheath tube 3 and the three-phase main cable 7, and the second filler 62 is used inside to fill the gap, thereby improving the sealing performance of the part connected to the three-phase main cable 7 and avoiding discharge failures caused by the entry of moisture into the terminal and the cable.

[0043] Furthermore, the cable sealing structure 6 further includes a third sealing member 63;

[0044] The third sealing member 63 is disposed in the gap between the first bushing opening and the cold shrinkable sheath tube 3 and in the gap between the second bushing opening and the three-phase main cable 7 .

[0045] From the above description, it can be seen that the third sealing member 63 blocks the gap between the sleeve opening and the cold shrink sheath tube 3, so that the cold shrink sheath tube 3 and the three-phase main cable 7 fit more closely, thereby enhancing the sealing effect.

[0046] Furthermore, the second protective sleeve 61 is also provided with a third sleeve port for accessing the optical fiber 16;

[0047] The third sealing member 63 is provided on the third sleeve opening.

[0048] From the above description, it can be seen that the third sleeve opening and the third sealing member 63 are provided to improve the sealing and waterproof performance of the optical cable, and realize the matching use of the optical fiber 16 and the cable on the terminal to meet the actual use requirements.

[0049] Furthermore, it also includes an adapter 8;

[0050] The other end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3 is connected to the three-phase main cable 7 through the adapter 8, and the adapter 8 is provided with a braided ground wire 9.

The cold shrink seal sleeve is tightly bonded to the sealant to prevent moisture from entering the terminal conductive terminal and the terminal body 1.

[0056] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the bottom sealing structure 5 includes a first protective sleeve 51 and a second sealing member 52; the first protective sleeve 51 is sleeved at the connection between the interface 12 and the cold shrink sheath tube 3, the end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3 is inserted into the interface 12, the second sealing member 52 is located in the first protective sleeve 51, and the second sealing member 52 blocks the gap between the interface 12 and the end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3.

[0057] The second sealing member 52 may be a waterproof sealing tape, which is wound between the interface 12 and the cold shrink sheath tube 3 .

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, there are at least two interfaces 12 and cold shrink sheath tubes 3 and they correspond one to one; specifically, three interfaces 12 are provided on the terminal body 1, which are respectively connected to three cold shrink sheath tubes 3, and a bottom sealing structure 5 is correspondingly provided at the connection between each cold shrink sheath tube 3 and the interface 12.

[0059] In this embodiment, if Figure 4As shown, the cable sealing structure 6 includes a second protective sleeve 61, a second filling piece 62 and a third sealing piece 63; the second protective sleeve 61 is provided with a first sleeve opening and a second sleeve opening that are connected in the same manner, the end of the cold shrink sheath tube 3 away from the terminal body 1 passes through the first sleeve opening, and is connected to the three-phase main cable 7 passing through the second sleeve opening in the second protective sleeve 61, and the second filling piece 62 is located in the gap between the inner wall of the second protective sleeve 61 and the cold shrink sheath tube 3.

In addition, the second protective sleeve 61 is also provided with a third sleeve opening for accessing the optical fiber 16; the third sealing piece 63 is provided on the third sleeve opening. In this embodiment, the key parameters such as partial discharge, humidity, and temperature at the position of the receiving terminal body 1 are arranged and connected by the built-in optical fiber 16, and the operation and maintenance monitoring of the distribution cable system is implemented.

[0060] Among them, the second protective sleeve 61 can be selected as a heat shrink six-finger sleeve, which cooperates with the inner sleeve of the cable on the three-phase main cable 7; the first sleeve mouth is the finger end of the heat shrink six-finger sleeve, and the second sleeve mouth is the body end of the heat shrink six-finger sleeve; the third sealing member 63 can also be made of sealant; different sealants are respectively wrapped and arranged on the finger end and body end of the heat shrink six-finger sleeve to achieve overall sealing.

After expansion, the expansion bar 17 is placed inside the telescopic expansion tube 14, and the telescopic expansion tube 14 is retracted. Finally, the steel wire 10 sandwiched between the terminal body 1 and the expansion bar 17 is pulled out.
