[0038] As Figure 4 The thermal monitoring unit comprises the swivel piece 4, the two terminal posts 3 and the position adjusting rod 6 fixedly connected at the lower end of the two terminal posts 3, the swivel piece 4 is S-shaped, and the swivel piece 4 is elastic, the two terminal posts 3 are matched with the two arc-shaped segments of the S shape respectively, the spring cable core 5 is fixedly connected between the end, away from each other, of the two terminal posts 3 and the cable body 1 on the same side, the restraining table 7 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom end of the outer sheath 21, the position adjusting groove 201 is dug in the middle of the bottom plate 22, the hard connecting sheet 401 is fixedly connected between the upper end of the swivel piece 4 and the top of the outer sheath 21, the terminal post 3 comprises the contact segment 31 matched with the swivel piece 4 and the insulating segment 32 fixedly connected at the lower end of the contact segment 31, the contact segment 31 and the swivel piece 4 are made of metal conductive material, and the insulating segment 32 is made of insulating material, so that the safety of power transmission between the spring cable core 5, the swivel piece 4 and the terminal post 3 is higher, and it is not easy to leak to the outside of the thermal monitoring joint 2.
[0039] As Figure 7, the adjusting rod 6 is sequentially movable through the restraint table 7 and the cable body 1 and extends into the adjusting slot 201, the adjusting rod 6 comprises a driving section 61 and a adjusting section 62 fixedly connected to the lower end of the driving section 61, two connecting rods 601 are fixedly connected to the outer end of the driving section 61, two pushing plates 602 are further arranged at the outer end of the driving section 61, the ends of the two connecting rods 601 are fixedly connected to a limiting ring 63, the limiting ring 63 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the insulating section 32, the two terminal posts 3 can be connected into one through the adjusting rod 6, so that the two terminal posts 3 can be synchronously deflected under the action of the adjusting rod 6, the driving section 61 is cylindrical, the adjusting section 62 is polygonal in cross section, and the adjusting section 62 is completely located in the adjusting slot 201, when the two cable bodies 1 are connected or after the connection of the two cable bodies 1 is cut off, the power transmission between the two cable bodies 1 is manually checked and restored, the bottom of the thermal monitoring joint 2 can be preheated first, so that the hot melt filler is gradually hot melted, at this time, a tool matched with the shape of the adjusting section 62 is used to rotate the adjusting section 62, so as to drive the two terminal posts 3 to rotate counterclockwise, and then the two terminal posts 3 are gradually embedded in the arc shape of the rotating piece 4 and gradually abut against the rotating piece 4, so that the two terminal posts 3 are reset.
[0040] In the embodiment, the pushing plates 602 are fixedly connected to the driving section 61, and an angle sensor is arranged on one of the pushing plates 602, so that the rotation of the pushing plate 602 can be monitored by the angle sensor, and the staff can remotely monitor the abnormality of the cable joint according to the data change of the angle sensor, so that the staff can timely take corresponding measures to deal with the thermal monitoring joint 2, the power can be timely restored, and the difficulty of checking the abnormal point after power cut is reduced.
[0041] As shown in Figure 6 In the perspective view, the vertical center line of the rotating piece 4, the axis of the adjusting rod 6 and the vertical center line of the thermal monitoring joint 2 all coincide with each other, and the two ends and the midpoint of the rotating piece 4 all fall on the vertical center line of the thermal monitoring joint 2.
[0042] As shown in Figure 5 In use, the two terminal posts 3 abut against the two arc-shaped sections of the rotating piece 4 respectively, and the two ends of the rotating piece 4 are counterclockwise away from the vertical center line of the thermal monitoring joint 2, at this time, the rotating piece 4 is in a twisted state along the counterclockwise direction under the pushing force of the terminal posts 3, and the spring cable core 5 is in a stretched state, when the temperature is abnormally high, the hot melt filler is lost, and the rotating piece 4 and the spring cable core 5 are restored along the clockwise direction, so that the terminal posts 3 are first rotated together with the rotating piece 4, and then gradually separated from the rotating piece 4, so that the two cable bodies 1 are temporarily disconnected, the staff needs to perform safety inspection on the place, and the hot melt filler is preheated and the adjusting rod 6 is rotated after it is determined that there is no abnormality, so that the two cable bodies 1 are connected again.
[0043] As shown in Figure 8, figure a represents hot melt filler, two pusher plates 602 are located in the restraint platform 7, and the restraint platform 7 is filled with hot melt filler, the inner wall of the restraint platform 7 is carved with a plurality of wedge-shaped grooves 701 arranged in a ring array, and the arc-shaped inner wall of the wedge-shaped groove 701 gradually approaches the axis of the restraint platform 7 in the counterclockwise direction, so that the depth of the wedge-shaped groove 701 in the clockwise direction becomes deeper, and the other inner wall of the turning part of the inner wall of the wedge-shaped groove 701 is a vertical inner wall, so that the hot melt filler is in a solidified state, a plurality of wedge-shaped grooves 701 can be limited, two pusher plates 602 are located in the solidified hot melt filler, temporarily forming a whole, effectively preventing the position change of the adjusting rod 6 and the two terminal posts 3 connected thereto, when the temperature is too high, the hot melt filler melts, at this time, the restraint force is lost, under the elastic force of the reset of the rotary piece 4 and the spring cable core 5, like Figure 9 , the adjusting rod 6 rotates, thereby realizing self-disconnection.
[0044] It is worth noting that the hot melt temperature of the hot melt filler is close to the limit high temperature of the safe operation temperature of the low-voltage cable and is higher than the limit high temperature, and the temperature difference between the two is not more than 5℃, which effectively ensures that the cable can be cut off in time when the temperature is higher than the limit high temperature of the safe operation, and it is not easy to continue to run at an abnormally high temperature, thereby effectively reducing the safety hazard of fire and burning.
[0045] In summary, the abutting connection mode of the terminal post 3 and the rotary piece 4 replaces the cable crimping mode in the prior art, and the hot melt filler is used to limit the abutting state between the two, so that the power is stably transmitted, when the temperature of the joint is too high, the hot melt filler gradually melts, the restraint force on the terminal post 3 and the rotary piece 4 is weakened, the rotary piece 4 is gradually reset in the positive direction, and the terminal post 3 and the rotary piece 4 are automatically separated, thereby realizing the effect of automatically cutting off the connection between the two cable bodies 1, compared with the heat dissipation mode of the joint in the prior art, the temperature of the joint can be effectively avoided to further rise, thereby achieving the phenomenon of burning, fire and other phenomena when the temperature is abnormal, and greatly reducing the safety hazard.
[0046] Second embodiment:
[0047] The embodiment adds a warning unit and related structures based on the first embodiment, and the rest is the same as the first embodiment.
[0048] Figures 11-12It is shown that the active section 61 is opened in the prediction groove symmetrical about the center of the active section 61, the prediction groove includes two pre-movement grooves 801 and two liquid guide channels 802, the pre-movement grooves 801 and the liquid guide channels 802 on the same side communicate with each other, and the pre-movement groove 801 is open to the outside. The end of the push plate 602 close to the active section 61 is fixedly connected with the push piece, the push piece is slidably connected with the pre-movement groove 801, the warning unit is further connected to the adjusting rod 6, the warning unit includes the receiving capsule 82 fixedly connected to one end of the push piece, the pull rope 83 fixedly connected to the other end of the push piece, and the warning capsule 81 movably penetrating the middle part of the adjusting section 62. The warning capsule 81 is of elastic structure, and the upper end of the warning capsule 81 is fixedly connected to the adjusting section 62. The receiving capsule 82, the liquid guide channel 802 and the warning capsule 81 communicate in sequence, and the interiors of the three are saturatedly filled with liquid. The liquid can be non-toxic and non-corrosive, and is preferably colored liquid. The radial end surface of the warning capsule 81 is opaque, and the cylindrical surface of the warning capsule 81 is transparent. When the hot melt filler gradually melts, the warning capsule 81 gradually recovers deformation. For example, Figure 10 Thus, the adjusting section 62 gradually shrinks inward, and the convex gradually decreases until it disappears. In this process, not only the convex disappears, but also the color gradually disappears. When the artificial receives the data change of the angle sensor, the abnormal hot monitoring connector 2 can be quickly locked according to the state of the warning capsule 81 at the adjusting section 62 during rechecking.
[0049] The pull rope 83, the push piece and the receiving capsule 82 are distributed in sequence along the counterclockwise direction. The receiving capsule 82 and the warning capsule 81 are both of elastic hollow capsule structure, and the pull rope 83 is of elastic structure. For example, Figure 11 When the cable is used, the lower end of the warning capsule 81 protrudes from the surface of the adjusting section 62. When an abnormally high temperature occurs, the hot melt filler gradually melts. In this process, when the flowability of the hot melt filler is low, the hot melt filler still has a binding force on the terminal post 3 and the rotary piece 4. The restoring deformation force of the rotary piece 4 and the spring cable core 5 is not enough to drive the terminal post 3 and the adjusting rod 6 to positively deflect. At this time, the small push plate 602 will gradually directly extrude the loose hot melt filler in the process of the hot melt filler gradually melting, so that the push plate 602 first deflects along the pre-movement groove 801 with the adjusting rod 6. At this time, the angle sensor can also be triggered, thereby generating a small amplitude data change. Compared with the first embodiment, the temperature is higher before the angle sensor is triggered. In this embodiment, the angle sensor can be triggered in advance, so that the staff can manually intervene before the connection between the two cable bodies 1 is cut off. This can not only reduce the safety hazard of subsequent fire burning, but also effectively reduce the direct power cut-off.
[0050] The above-mentioned embodiments of the present application are combined with the current actual demand, the protection scope is not limited to this, various changes made within the knowledge range of the person skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the present application still fall within the protection scope of the present application.
