[0029] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The terms used in the present invention are those commonly used in the art in view of the functions of the present invention, but these terms may vary according to the intentions of those skilled in the art, precedents, or new technologies in the art. In addition, specific terms may be selected by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of the present invention. Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but rather as the meanings of the terms and the overall description of the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 9 The present embodiment provides a plug-and-play secondary equipment component and operation method in a substation, including a box body 1, with through holes 11 on both end walls for cables to pass through. The through holes 11 are circumferentially sealed to prevent dust from damaging the lines installed inside. A removable cover 12 is provided on one end face of the box body 1, and the terminal block 2 can be passed through the end face, making it easier to remove during the process of disassembly and replacement of the terminal block 2.

[0032] Furthermore, the terminal block 2 is arranged inside the box body 1 and can be fixed in the box body 1 by threaded connection or other operating methods, which are not specifically limited here, so as to ensure the stability of the terminal block 2 and prevent shaking due to external force. The terminal block 2 includes a first slot 21 with several groups of pluggable cables on the side wall. Since the cable sizes used in the substation will be different, the cable sizes connected in the relay terminal box at the substation cabinet end are usually 6 cores, 8 cores, and 12 cores, which are not specifically limited here. Therefore, the size of the first slot 21 should be set to be able to place the cable of the largest size.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, it should be noted that there are two rows of first slots 21 in the figure, among which the first socket 21 on the side away from the fixed component 3 is the manufacturer's internal cable. The manufacturer's internal cable here refers to the cable that has been integrated into the equipment when it leaves the factory. It is pre-installed in its product by the equipment manufacturer and is used to connect the equipment's own modules or supporting components. It is not used for disassembly and replacement. The first socket 21 on the side close to the fixed component 3 is an external cable. The external cable refers to the cable from outside the substation, which is usually laid by the power company or the user himself and is used to connect the substation secondary equipment with other external systems or equipment. Therefore, when our cable fails, our cable can be stripped and replaced to achieve a plug-and-play effect.

[0034] It is recommended that the elastic pick 22 arranged on one side of the first slot 21 be made of a material with strong elasticity, so as to ensure that when the cable of the maximum size required to be locked is inserted into the first slot 21, the elastic pick 22 will not be damaged when the elastic pick 22 is squeezed. The conductive plate 23 is arranged at the bottom of the first slot 21, and one end of the conductive plate 23 is connected to the cable inserted into the first slot 21, and the other end is connected to the cable connected to the substation, thereby realizing the operation of the entire line. At the same time, the elastic pick 22 can exert pressure on the cable, thereby achieving the effect of locking the cable.

[0035] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, further, the elastic paddle 22 includes a fixed section 221 fixedly connected to the side wall of the first slot 21 and an extension section 222 abutting the cable. The connection between the fixed section 221 and the extension section 222 is an arc-shaped setting. The arc shape of the connection between the fixed section 221 and the extension section 222 serves to release the elasticity of the extension section 222, thereby ensuring that the extension section 222 will not break during the compression process.

[0036] like Figure 6As shown, further, the first slot 21 opens a sliding slot 24 on one side of the fixed section 221 connected to the elastic paddle 22, the sliding slot 24 is communicated with the first slot 21, and a pressing member 25 is provided inside the sliding slot 24. The surface of the sliding slot 24 is smooth to avoid jamming of the pressing member 25 during sliding in the sliding slot 24. The pressing member 25 includes a section a sliding in the sliding slot 24 and a section b sliding in the first slot 21. The section a of the pressing member 25 can be set longer, and a groove that engages with a screwdriver can be provided at the end of the pressing member 25a away from the section b (the end that can be pressed outside the sliding slot 24), so that a screwdriver can be used to press the pressing member during disassembly. The pressing piece 25 is pressed, and after the displacement of section b, the extension section 222 of the elastic pick 22 is squeezed. The horizontal distance between the limit block 241 and the cable is less than the horizontal distance between section b and the cable after being compressed to the maximum extent. The end of section b of the pressing piece 25 that contacts the elastic pick 22 can be set to an arc shape to ensure that as the pressing piece 25 slides downward, section b contacts the elastic pick 22 while avoiding the risk of contact with the cable. Since if the pressing piece 25 contacts the cable during the downward pressing process, friction between the cable and the cable may cause resistance, thereby causing damage to the cable. Therefore, the side of section b of the pressing piece 25 that contacts the cable can be set to an arc shape.

[0037] Specifically, a limit block 241 is provided at the connection between the sliding groove 24 and the first slot 21. The limit block 241 prevents section a of the pressing member 25 from being disengaged from the sliding groove 24, and the limit block 241 does not block the displacement path of section b in the process of cooperating with the elastic paddle 22. In addition, the setting of the limit block 241 can also cooperate with the connection between section a and section b of the pressing member 25 to limit the position, thereby preventing the pressing member 25 from being disengaged from the limiting cooperation with the sliding groove 24 in the vertical direction.

[0038] Furthermore, the fixing component 3 is installed on the side wall of the box body 1 through the through hole 11, which includes a locking seat 31, and a plurality of locking grooves 311 are formed through the end surface of the locking seat 31, and a cable is installed in each locking groove 311. The number of locking grooves 311 is greater than the number of cables actually used, so that there are always a few spare cables in all the locking grooves 311. When a cable fails, the spare cables in other locking grooves 311 can be used for wiring installation. This operation can greatly save the trouble of finding a docking cable and then going through the tedious process of fixing and installing it. A sealing gasket 32 made of elastic material is installed in the locking groove 311 (the installation here refers to the sealing gasket 32 being tightly fixed to the side wall of the locking groove 311). The central opening of the sealing gasket 32 is for the cable to pass through. When the cable passes through the central opening of the sealing gasket 32, the cable can be passed through the sealing gasket 32 by rotating and plugging it in.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, preferably, the fixing assembly 3 also includes an adjusting bolt 33 threadedly connected to the locking groove 311, and both ends of the adjusting bolt 33 are through-holes for cables to pass through. A pad 34 is provided between the adjusting bolt 33 and the sealing gasket 32. At this time, the aperture in the middle of the sealing gasket 32 can be set larger to pass through the maximum size cable connected to the screen cabinet end. In order to avoid damaging the sealing gasket 32 when the cable is inserted through the sealing gasket 32, the cable passes through the sealing gasket 32, the pad 34 and the adjusting bolt 33 in sequence. At this time, it is only necessary to rotate the adjusting bolt 33 to enter the interior of the locking groove 311. As the adjusting bolt 3 3 is rotated, the adjusting bolt 33 begins to contact the pad 34, and the pad 34 is driven to squeeze the sealing gasket 32. Since the sealing gasket 32 is installed in the preferred solution, the sealing gasket 32 is placed inside the locking groove 311 and can move inside the locking groove 311. At this time, the sealing gasket 32 is squeezed, and the outer circumferential side wall will be blocked by the side wall of the locking groove 311. The sealing gasket 32 as a whole will fill the aperture through which the cable passes. At this time, the sealing gasket 32 will elastically expand during the compression process to lock the cable. The sealing gasket 32 can be made of a material with better elasticity, which is not specifically limited here, so that it can be used repeatedly.

[0040] Furthermore, since the cables to be connected are of different thicknesses, the degree of compression of the sealing gasket 32 can be judged by rotating the adjusting bolt 33 and the displacement distance in the locking groove 311. Since the cable sizes commonly used in substations are fixed, the adjusting bolt 33 can be tested and recorded for cables of different thicknesses and sizes until the adjusting bolt 33 squeezes the sealing gasket 32 through the pad 34 to achieve a tight fit without damaging the cable itself. At this time, the number of displacement turns and distance of the adjusting bolt 33 are recorded. Preferably, an integrated mark can be made on the operating rotating end of the adjusting bolt 33 to record the number of rotation turns at the mark or the displacement distance during the rotation of the mark. After recording several cables of different thicknesses and sizes, they can be rotated according to the recorded content during subsequent use, thereby achieving the purpose of tightening the cable while also protecting the cable.

[0041] Furthermore, the fixing component 3 also includes a socket 35 connected to the locking seat 31. The socket 35 and the locking seat 31 can be connected by bolt fitting, gluing, and welding, which are not specifically limited here, and the socket 35 and the locking seat 31 are both fixed to the side wall of the box body 1 to achieve a stable effect. Several groups of second slots 351 corresponding to the locking groove 311 are opened at both ends of the socket 35. The aperture of the second slot 351 is smaller than the aperture of the locking groove 311, and the cable of the largest size can pass through the second slot 351. The side of the sealing gasket 32 close to the locking groove 311 is abutted by the end face of the socket 35 and cannot enter the locking groove 311. Moreover, since the aperture of the second slot 351 is smaller than the locking groove 311, the end of the sealing gasket 32 close to the second slot 351 will be abutted by the side wall of the socket 35.

[0042] Furthermore, a stripping tube 352 is fixedly provided at the opening of one end of the second slot 351 away from the locking slot 311. The stripping tube 352 is used for stripping and connecting wires. A stripping groove 3521 is provided on the circumferential surface of the stripping tube 352. The opening direction of the stripping groove 3521 is toward the side of the cover plate 12, so that the staff can observe more clearly during operation. The circumference of the stripping groove 3521 is less than half of the circumference of the stripping tube 352. This arrangement can first prevent the cable from escaping from the stripping tube 352 through the stripping groove 3521. Secondly, and most importantly, the staff can more clearly see the fit between the cable and the stripping tube 352 and whether the wires are connected incorrectly during the stripping process.

[0043] Finally, it should be pointed out that the operating methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways without departing from the scope of the present invention.
