[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0040] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth" are used only for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0041] Please refer to FIGS. 1-12 The cable assembly 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application is used for a hydraulic tunnel 30.

[0042] Please refer to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 The hydraulic tunnel 30 includes a lining structure 31 and a water conveying passage 30a enclosed by the lining structure 31. The lining structure 31 is provided with a groove passage 31a on the side facing the water conveying passage 30a. The groove passage 31a has a first slot 31b. The groove passage 31a communicates with the water conveying passage 30a through the first slot 31b. The groove passage 31a is used for accommodating the cable assembly 10.

[0043] Please refer to FIGS. 1-8 The cable assembly 10 includes a cable bundle 12 and a cladding layer 15. The cable bundle 12 includes at least one cable 122. The cable bundle 12 is used for transmitting electric energy and signals to realize monitoring of the hydraulic tunnel 30. The cladding layer 15 is arranged on the outer periphery of the cable bundle 12. The cladding layer 15 at least includes an expansion layer 152. The expansion layer 152 contacts the outside. The expansion layer 152 is a water-expanding material.

[0044] Please refer to FIGS. 15A-15H In the case that the expansion layer 152 does not contact water, the cable assembly 10 can pass through the first slot 31b to enter the groove passage 31a. In the case that the expansion layer 152 contacts water, the cable assembly 10 cannot pass through the first slot 31b to be clamped in the groove passage 31a.

[0045] It can be understood that the cable bundle 12 can include one cable 122. At this time, the cable 122 is a hybrid cable of electric cable and signal cable. The signal cable can be an optical signal cable or an electric signal cable.

[0046] The cable bundle 12 can include a plurality of cables 122. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9 , the cable bundle 12 includes 7 cables 122. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 10 , the cable bundle 12 includes 10 cables 122. Each cable 122 can be any one of an electric cable, a signal cable, a hybrid cable of electric cable and signal cable. The signal cable can be an optical signal cable or an electric signal cable.

[0047] In the above embodiments, the volume change of the expansion layer 152 before and after contacting water is used to achieve that the cable assembly 10 passes through the first slot 31b to enter the groove channel 31a when the expansion layer 152 does not contact water, and the cable assembly 10 cannot pass through the first slot 31b to be clamped in the groove channel 31a when the expansion layer 152 contacts water, so that the cable 122 cannot be detached by the water flow to avoid damage, and the cable 122 is also convenient for later maintenance, thereby facilitating long-term and effective monitoring of the water tunnel 30.

[0048] In some embodiments, the material of the expansion layer 152 is water-swelling rubber. It can be understood that the water-swelling rubber is a material available in the art. For example, the raw material of the water-swelling rubber includes a rubber matrix and a water-absorbing material, the rubber matrix is natural rubber or chloroprene rubber, and the water-absorbing material is water-soluble polyurethane prepolymer or sodium acrylate macromolecular water-absorbing resin. For example, the material of the expansion layer 152 can be water-swelling rubber with a volume expansion ratio of 250% to 600%, and the volume expansion ratio of the expansion layer 152 is 250% to 600% to balance the need for the volume increase of the expansion layer 152 to achieve the clamping of the cable assembly 10 in the groove channel 31a, and the need for the volume of the expansion layer 152 not to increase too much to avoid excessive stress of the cable assembly 10 causing damage to the cable 122.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the covering layer 15 is the expansion layer 152, the covering layer 15 encloses to form a containing channel 15a for placing the cable bundle 12; and the cross section of the covering layer 15 formed along the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the containing channel 15a is in a closed state.

[0050] In the above embodiments, the cable bundle 12 can enter the containing channel 15a by one end of the cable bundle 12 penetrating one end opening of the containing channel 15a to form the cable assembly 10. The cable bundle 12 can also be implemented by one end of each cable 122 penetrating one end opening of the containing channel 15a to achieve that each cable 122 enters the containing channel 15a, and then the entire cable bundle 12 enters the containing channel 15a.

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 The cladding layer 15 further comprises a skeleton layer 154 for supporting the swelling layer 152; the skeleton layer 154 encloses the accommodation channel 15a for accommodating the cable bundle 12; the swelling layer 152 is disposed on the side of the skeleton layer 154 away from the accommodation channel 15a; The cladding layer 15 is in a closed state along the cross section formed perpendicular to the extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the skeleton layer 154 is used to support the swelling layer 152 to prevent the swelling layer 152 from swelling towards the accommodation channel 15a in the presence of water, thereby avoiding the swelling layer 152 from exerting a pressing force on the cable 122 due to swelling towards the accommodation channel 15a, and further avoiding the cable 122 from being damaged due to the pressing force exerted by the swelling layer 152.

[0053] In some embodiments, the swelling layer 152 can be disposed on the side of the skeleton layer 154 away from the accommodation channel 15a in a bonding manner. Specifically, the cable assembly 10 further comprises a bonding layer disposed between the swelling layer 152 and the skeleton layer 154. For example, the bonding layer is made of a neoprene-phenolic adhesive.

[0054] In some embodiments, the skeleton layer 154 can be made of a high-molecular elastomer having pressure resistance, elasticity and wear resistance. The high-molecular elastomer is vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic elastomer. When the high-molecular elastomer is vulcanized rubber, the material is one of nitrile rubber (NBR), hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) or natural rubber (NR). When the high-molecular elastomer is thermoplastic elastomer, the material is one of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or polyamide-based elastomer (TPAE).

[0055] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 and FIG. 15E and FIG. 15F The wear resistance of the skeleton layer 154 is higher than that of the swelling layer 152; The skeleton layer 154 comprises a first part 1541 and a second part 1543, and the first part 1541 and the second part 1543 are connected to each other to enclose the accommodation channel 15a; The side of the first part 1541 away from the accommodation channel 15a is a first side 1541a, and the first side 1541a is in contact with the outside; the side of the second part 1543 away from the accommodation channel 15a is a second side 1543a, and the second side 1543a is provided with the swelling layer 152; When the cable assembly 10 is disposed in the groove channel 31a, the first side 1541a of the first part 1541 is disposed opposite to the first slot 31b.

[0056] In the above embodiment, when the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the first side 1541a opposite to the first notch 31b, the first side 1541a can resist the water flow force and avoid the expansion layer 152 from being damaged due to the water flow force, so as to avoid the cable 122 from being damaged due to the expansion layer 152 from being damaged and falling out of the groove channel 31a, because the wear resistance of the framework layer 154 is higher than that of the expansion layer 152.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , and FIG. 15E and FIG. 15F , the distance from the side of the first part 1541 away from the accommodation channel 15a to the side of the first part 1541 toward the accommodation channel 15a is a first distance, and the distance from the side of the second part 1543 away from the accommodation channel 15a to the side of the second part 1543 toward the accommodation channel 15a is a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance.

[0058] In the above embodiment, when the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the first side 1541a opposite to the first notch 31b, the first distance is greater than the second distance, so that at least a part of the expansion layer 152 is shielded by the first part 1541 in the radial extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a, and the first part 1541 can reduce the water flow force of the water flow on the expansion layer 152; therefore, the expansion layer 152 can be further prevented from being damaged due to the water flow force, so as to further avoid the cable 122 from being damaged due to the expansion layer 152 from being damaged and falling out of the groove channel 31a, that is, being damaged due to falling out.

[0059] It can be understood that in the above embodiment, the first part 1541 includes a third side 1541b, the expansion layer 152 includes a fourth side 1543b, the third side 1541b and the fourth side 1543b are arranged opposite to each other, and the third side 1541b and the fourth side 1543b are both arranged substantially along the radial extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a; in the radial extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a, the length of the third side 1541b is greater than the length of the fourth side 1543b, so as to achieve the effect that at least a part of the expansion layer 152 is shielded by the first part 1541.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , the covering layer 15 further includes a framework layer 154 for supporting the expansion layer 152; The framework layer 154 encloses to form the accommodation channel 15a for accommodating the cable bundle 12; the expansion layer 152 is arranged on the side of the framework layer 154 away from the accommodation channel 15a; The cladding layer 15 is provided with a first opening 15b in communication with the accommodation channel 15a, for each cable 122 in the cable bundle 12 to enter the accommodation channel 15a in a manner that the cable side wall passes through the first opening 15b, so as to realize that the cable bundle 12 is arranged in the accommodation channel 15a as a whole, and the extension direction of the first opening 15b is consistent with the extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a; the framework layer 154 is provided with a second opening 154b, and the expansion layer 152 is provided with a third opening 152b, the second opening 154b and the third opening 152b are in communication to form the first opening 15b; The expansion layer 152 has the third opening 152b in a state of not contacting water, and the third opening 152b is reduced to a closed state in a state of contacting water.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the framework layer 154 is used to support the expansion layer 152, so as to prevent the expansion layer 152 from expanding towards the accommodation channel 15a in a state of contacting water, and avoid that the expansion layer 152 exerts extrusion force on the cable 122 due to expansion towards the accommodation channel 15a, and further avoid that the cable 122 is damaged due to the extrusion force exerted by the expansion layer 152.

[0062] In a state of not contacting water, the third opening 152b and the second opening 154b form the first opening 15b, and each cable 122 in the cable bundle 12 can enter the accommodation channel 15a in a manner that the cable side wall passes through the first opening 15b, so as to realize that the cable bundle 12 is arranged in the accommodation channel 15a as a whole, and form the cable assembly 10. In a state of contacting water, the third opening 152b is reduced to a closed state, so as to isolate the accommodation channel 15a from the external environment, and the cable 122 will not be damaged due to the action of water flow.

[0063] In some embodiments, the expansion layer 152 can be arranged on the side of the framework layer 154 away from the accommodation channel 15a in a bonding manner. Specifically, the cable assembly 10 further comprises a bonding layer arranged between the expansion layer 152 and the framework layer 154. For example, the bonding layer is made of chloroprene-phenolic adhesive.

[0064] In some embodiments, the skeleton layer 154 can adopt a high-molecular elastomer with pressure resistance, elasticity and wear resistance. The high-molecular elastomer is vulcanized rubber or thermoplastic elastomer. When the high-molecular elastomer is vulcanized rubber, the material thereof is one of nitrile rubber (NBR), hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR) or natural rubber (NR). When the high-molecular elastomer is thermoplastic elastomer, the material thereof is one of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or polyamide-based elastomer (TPAE). It can be understood that the skeleton layer 154 adopts a high-molecular elastomer, so that when the cable 122 passes through the first opening 15b into the accommodation channel 15a to complete the assembly process of the cable assembly 10, the opening size of the first opening 15b can become larger when the first opening 15b is subjected to external force, thereby facilitating the cable 122 to quickly enter the accommodation channel 15a, and the opening size of the first opening 15b can become smaller until it returns to the initial state when the external force is removed, thereby preventing the cable 122 in the accommodation channel 15a from being pulled out of the first opening 15b, thereby avoiding damage to the cable 122.

[0065] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 , and FIG. 15G and FIG. 15H , the wear resistance of the skeleton layer 154 is higher than that of the expansion layer 152. The skeleton layer 154 includes a first part 1541 and a second part 1543, the first part 1541 and the second part 1543 are connected to each other to form the accommodation channel 15a; the first side 1541a of the first part 1541 away from the accommodation channel 15a is in contact with the outside world; the second side 1543a of the second part 1543 away from the accommodation channel 15a is provided with the expansion layer 152. The second opening 154b is located at a position of the second part 1543 away from the first part 1541; the third opening 152b is located at a position of the expansion layer 152 away from the first part 1541. When the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a, the first side 1541a of the first part 1541 is arranged opposite to the first notch 31b.

[0066] In the above embodiments, when the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the first side 1541a arranged opposite to the first notch 31b under the action of water flow, the first side 1541a can resist the action of water flow due to the wear resistance of the skeleton layer 154 being higher than that of the expansion layer 152, thereby avoiding damage to the expansion layer 152 caused by the action of water flow, and avoiding the cable 122 from being pulled out of the groove channel 31a, that is, from falling off and being damaged due to damage to the expansion layer 152.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the second opening 154b is located at the second portion 1543 away from the first portion 1541, and the third opening 152b is located at the expansion layer 152 away from the first portion 1541, so that the first opening 15b is located at the cladding layer 15 away from the first portion 1541, thereby when the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the recess channel 31a with the first side 1541a opposite to the first notch 31b, the first opening 15b as a weak portion is protected from the water flow, and the cable 122 is protected.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the second opening 154b is located at the second portion 1543, and the second opening 154b and the first portion 1541 are arranged opposite along the radial direction of the accommodation channel 15a, and the third opening 152b and the first portion 1541 are arranged opposite along the radial direction of the accommodation channel 15a.

[0069] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5-8 , and FIGS. 15E-15H , the distance from the side of the first portion 1541 away from the accommodation channel 15a to the side of the first portion 1541 toward the accommodation channel 15a is a first distance, and the distance from the side of the second portion 1543 away from the accommodation channel 15a to the side of the second portion 1543 toward the accommodation channel 15a is a second distance, and the first distance is greater than the second distance.

[0070] In the above embodiment, when the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the recess channel 31a with the first side 1541a opposite to the first notch 31b, due to the first distance being greater than the second distance, at least a portion of the expansion layer 152 is shielded by the first portion 1541 in the radial extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a, and the first portion 1541 can reduce the water flow force of the water flow on the expansion layer 152; therefore, the expansion layer 152 can be further prevented from being damaged by the water flow force, and the cable 122 can be further prevented from being damaged by being pulled out of the recess channel 31a.

[0071] It can be understood that in the above embodiment, the first portion 1541 includes a third side 1541b arranged along the radial extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a, and the expansion layer 152 includes a fourth side 1543b arranged along the radial extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a; the third side 1541b and the fourth side 1543b are arranged opposite, and in the radial extension direction of the accommodation channel 15a, the length of the third side 1541b is greater than the length of the fourth side 1543b, so that at least a portion of the expansion layer 152 is shielded by the first portion 1541.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5-8 , andFIGS. 15E-15H The first cross section of the cable assembly 10 is approximately elliptical, and the cable assembly 10 includes an approximately vertical long axis and a short axis.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the first cross section is approximately elliptical, so that when the cable assembly 10 accommodates the same cross section size cable bundle 12, the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the short axis pointing to the groove bottom, the size ratio of the groove width of the first slot 31b and the long axis of the cable assembly 10 can be reduced, so that the cable assembly 10 can be more stably and firmly clamped in the groove channel 31a.

[0074] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 5-8 and FIGS. 15E-15H The first cross section of the cable assembly 10 is approximately elliptical, and the cable assembly 10 includes an approximately vertical long axis and a short axis; the first part 1541 is located at the intersection with the short axis.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the long axis is the connecting line of the two points with the maximum distance of the outer surface of the cable assembly 10. The short axis is the connecting line of the two points with the minimum distance of the outer surface of the cable assembly 10.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the first cross section is approximately elliptical, so that when the cable assembly 10 accommodates the same cross section size cable bundle 12, the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the short axis pointing to the groove bottom, the size ratio of the groove width of the first slot 31b and the long axis of the cable assembly 10 can be reduced, so that the cable assembly 10 can be more stably and firmly clamped in the groove channel 31a; The first part 1541 is located at the intersection with the short axis, so that when the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the short axis pointing to the groove bottom, the first side 1541a can be arranged opposite to the first slot 31b, and the first side 1541a can resist the water flow force.

[0077] Referring to FIGS. 11-14 and FIGS. 15A-15H The application also provides a hydraulic tunnel structure 2, which includes the cable assembly 10 and the hydraulic tunnel 30.

[0078] The hydraulic tunnel 30 includes a lining structure 31 and a water conveying channel 30a enclosed by the lining structure 31. The lining structure 31 is provided with a groove channel 31a on the side facing the water conveying channel 30a. The groove channel 31a has a first slot 31b, and the groove channel 31a communicates with the water conveying channel 30a through the first slot 31b. The groove channel 31a is used for accommodating the cable assembly 10. The cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a.

[0079] The first slot 31b can accommodate the cable assembly 10 to pass through in the case that the expansion layer 152 does not contact water, so that the cable assembly 10 can enter the groove channel 31a; the first slot 31b cannot accommodate the cable assembly 10 to pass through in the case that the expansion layer 152 contacts water, so that the cable assembly 10 can be clamped in the groove channel 31a.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 15A-15D and FIG. 16A , and FIGS. 15E-15H and FIG. 16B , The groove channel 31a has a gradually increasing groove width and then a gradually decreasing groove width in a first direction H1 from the first slot 31b to the groove bottom; the groove width at the opening of the groove channel 31a is referred to as a first groove width, and the maximum groove width of the groove channel 31a is referred to as a second groove width. The cable assembly 10 has an elliptical shape in a first cross section perpendicular to the extending direction of the accommodation channel 15a, and includes an approximately vertical major axis and a minor axis; In the case that the expansion layer 152 does not contact water, the minor axis of the cable assembly 10 is smaller than the first groove width, so that the cable assembly 10 can pass through the first slot to enter the groove channel 31a with the major axis pointing to the groove bottom; The major axis of the cable assembly 10 is smaller than the second groove width, so that the cable assembly 10 can be adjusted from a first state to a second state after entering the groove channel 31a; the first state is that the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the major axis pointing to the groove bottom; the second state is that the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a with the minor axis pointing to the groove bottom.

[0081] In the above embodiments, the major axis is a connecting line of two points with the maximum distance on the outer surface of the cable assembly 10, and the minor axis is a connecting line of two points with the minimum distance on the outer surface of the cable assembly 10.

[0082] In the above embodiments, the groove width of the groove channel 31a gradually increases and then gradually decreases. As a specific embodiment, the cross section of the groove channel 31a perpendicular to the extending direction of the groove channel 31a is Ω-shaped.

[0083] In some embodiments, the lining structure 31 includes groove walls that enclose the groove channel 31a; the groove walls are provided with anti-skid lines.

[0084] In the above embodiments, by arranging the cable assembly 10 in the groove channel 31a formed by the groove wall with anti-skid lines, the frictional force between the cable assembly 10 and the groove wall is increased, and thus the cable assembly 10 can be more stably and firmly engaged in the groove channel 31a. For example, the anti-skid lines can be corrugated or serrated.

[0085] In some embodiments, the lining structure 31 is formed by splicing a plurality of hexagonal segments 330; the hexagonal segment 330 is an arcuate structure; The hexagonal segment 330 includes six edge portions, each of which is used for splicing the hexagonal segment 330 with another hexagonal segment 330 to form a splicing portion; each edge portion is provided with a half-groove 330b; two half-grooves 330b at each splicing portion are spliced to form a groove 330a; when the plurality of hexagonal segments 330 are spliced to form the lining structure 31, the plurality of grooves 330a are connected to each other to form the groove channel 31a.

[0086] In the above embodiments, by arranging the half-groove 330b at the edge portion, the groove channel 31a is formed at the splicing portion of the plurality of hexagonal segments 330, thereby maintaining the integrity and continuity of the overall structure of the hexagonal segment 330, avoiding the situation that the physical performance of the lining structure 31 is reduced due to the groove channel 31a formed at the middle or inner portion of the hexagonal segment 330, and thus ensuring that the cable assembly 10 can be more stably and firmly engaged in the groove channel 31a.

[0087] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 15A-15D and FIG. 16A , and FIGS. 15E-15H and FIG. 16B , the hexagonal segment 330 further includes an inner side wall 337 for enclosing the water conveying channel 30a. The groove wall 331 of the hexagonal segment 330 intersects with the inner side wall 337 to form an end portion 338. The end portion 338 is a chamfered end portion. The end portion 338 is chamfered, that is, the end portion 338 is rounded, avoiding damage to the cable assembly 10 during the process of passing through the first slot 31b into the groove channel 31a due to the sharp end portion 338.

[0088] In some embodiments, the half-groove 330b of the hexagonal segment 330 is a prefabricated half-groove, that is, the half-groove is formed during the manufacturing process of the hexagonal segment, rather than being formed on site. The half-groove 330b is a prefabricated half-groove, further maintaining the integrity and continuity of the overall structure of the hexagonal segment 330. Avoiding the situation that the physical performance of the lining structure 31 is reduced due to the half-groove 330b of the hexagonal segment 330 being formed on site to form the groove channel 31a, and thus ensuring that the cable assembly 10 can be more stably and firmly engaged in the groove channel 31a.

[0089] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 , of the six edge portions of the hexagonal pipe sheet 330, the included angle of any two adjacent edge portions is 120 degrees.

[0090] In the above embodiments, the included angle of any two adjacent edge portions of the hexagonal pipe sheet 330 is 120 degrees, so that the included angle of the two connected grooves 330a is also 120 degrees, and the maximum corner of the groove channel 31a is 120 degrees, thereby avoiding the situation that when the cable assembly 10 is arranged in the groove channel 31a, the groove wall 331 constituting the groove channel 31a exerts excessive lateral pressure on the cable assembly 10 due to the too small corner radius of the groove channel 31a, thereby causing the cable assembly 10 to crack, break, or even fall out of the groove channel 31a.

[0091] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 , and FIG. 17A , FIG. 17B , FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B , The six edge portions include two oppositely arranged first edge portions 332, two oppositely arranged second edge portions 334, and two oppositely arranged third edge portions 336; Any two adjacent hexagonal pipe sheets 330 are arranged in a manner that a first edge portion 332 of a first pipe sheet abuts against a first edge portion 332 of a second pipe sheet, or a second edge portion 334 of the first pipe sheet abuts against a second edge portion 334 of the second pipe sheet, or a third edge portion 336 of the first pipe sheet abuts against a third edge portion 336 of the second pipe sheet; wherein the length of the first edge portion 332 is substantially the same as the length of the second edge portion 334; the length of the third edge portion 336 is greater than the length of the first edge portion 332; the first edge portion 332 and the second edge portion 334 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the hydraulic tunnel 30; and the third edge portion 336 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the hydraulic tunnel 30.

[0092] In the above embodiments, by arranging the first edge portion 332 and the second edge portion 334 with shorter lengths along the longitudinal direction of the lining structure 31 and arranging the second edge portion 334 with a longer length along the circumferential direction of the lining structure 31, the cable bundle 12 can be routed along the circumferential direction and also along the longitudinal direction, thereby meeting the wiring requirements in the hydraulic tunnel 30; and under the premise of meeting the wiring requirements in the hydraulic tunnel 30, compared with linear routing of the cable bundle 12, the cable bundle 12 only needs to consume a small amount of cable bundle 12 when routed along the circumferential direction and along the longitudinal direction, thereby achieving the target connection point.
