Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent cable connector technology, specifically to an intelligent cable connector with a plug-in quick-change component. Background Technology

[0002] Cable joints are components used to connect cables. Their main function is to lock and secure the incoming and outgoing lines, ensuring the strength and sealing of the cable connection. They also provide waterproofing, dustproofing, and vibration protection. Cable joints located in the middle of a cable line are called intermediate joints, while those at both ends of the line are called terminal joints. They can be divided into indoor and outdoor types. Indoor cable joints are suitable for indoor environments, while outdoor cable joints are suitable for outdoor environments and have better weather resistance and waterproofing performance. According to materials, they can be classified as heat-shrinkable, dry-packed, epoxy resin cast, and cold-shrinkable. Heat-shrinkable cable joints are made by peeling back the cable sheath at the end of the cable where a joint is needed, fitting a special heat-shrinkable sleeve, connecting each core of the cable, and then placing the heat-shrinkable sleeve onto the joint. A blowtorch or other heating equipment is used to heat the heat-shrinkable sleeve at the joint area, causing it to adhere to the cable, thus forming the cable joint. Dry-type cable joints are generally used for low-voltage cable heads and are wrapped with insulating plastic tape. Epoxy resin-cast cable joints involve casting epoxy resin into the cable joint area to form an insulating layer. Cold-shrink cable joints rely on elastic compression force and do not require heating. Unlike heat-shrink cable accessories, they do not pose a risk of internal layer separation when moved or bent after installation. Cable joints are widely used in power, communication, construction and other fields to connect cables of different lengths and specifications to meet different power needs. In power systems, the quality and performance of cable joints are directly related to the safety and reliability of power transmission. When existing cable connectors need to replace components, they often require complex tools and a long operation time. When some cable connectors have internal components damaged, multiple layers of protective structure need to be disassembled, which is not only time-consuming, but also prone to causing secondary damage to the cable during disassembly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a smart cable connector for plug-in quick-change components, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a smart cable connector for pluggable quick-replacement components, including a connector box. Cables fixedly installed on the side wall of the junction box; The cover is hinged to the top of the connector box; And a connecting component located on the side of the junction box; The connection assembly includes a connection mechanism disposed on the side of the junction box; An auxiliary mechanism is provided on the side wall of the junction box, and the auxiliary mechanism is located in front of the connecting mechanism; An installation mechanism is provided on the side of the junction box.

[0005] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes an arc-shaped pad and a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the junction box. A movable plate is drivenly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. An adjusting plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the movable plate. A T-shaped block is slidably installed on the inner wall of the adjusting plate. An adjusting block is fixedly installed at one end of the T-shaped block. A long rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the adjusting block. A displacement plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the long rod. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the displacement plate. A rectangular pressure plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate. An anti-slip pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rectangular pressure plate. Rectangular blocks are fixedly installed at both ends of the long rod. Arc-shaped limiting blocks are slidably installed on the side wall of the rectangular blocks. The side wall of the arc-shaped limiting block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the junction box.

[0006] Preferably, the arc-shaped pad is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the junction box. There are three arc-shaped pads, all of which are equal in shape and size. The three arc-shaped pads are distributed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the junction box. By setting the arc-shaped pads, the bottom of the cable can be supported.

[0007] Preferably, the sidewall of the rectangular pressure plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connector box, the sidewall of the adjusting plate is slidably connected to the sidewall of the adjusting block, the sidewall of the rectangular block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connector box, and there are three rectangular pressure plates, all of which are equal in shape and size.

[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary mechanism includes a locking plate, one end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lid. A plug-in rod is slidably installed on the inner wall of the locking plate. A first sleeve is slidably installed on the side wall of the plug-in rod, and a second sleeve is slidably installed on the side wall of the plug-in rod. One end of the first sleeve is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector box, and one end of the second sleeve is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector box. The second sleeve is located to the right of the first sleeve. A snap-fit ​​block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the plug-in rod. An auxiliary plate is provided on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​block with a rectangular groove. One end of the auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector box. A reinforcing rod is fixedly installed on the side wall of the auxiliary plate. The other end of the reinforcing rod is fixedly installed with the auxiliary plate. One end of the auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector box.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall diameter of the plug rod is the same as the inner wall diameter of the positioning groove on the inner wall of the locking plate, and the inner wall of the locking plate is in contact with the side wall of the connector box.

[0010] Preferably, the installation mechanism includes a connector and a support base. One end of the connector is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the junction box. A positioning cover is threaded onto the side wall of the connector. There are three positioning covers, all of which are of equal shape and size. The operator places the positioning cover on the surface of the cable, and then one end of the cable can be directly passed through the inner wall of the connector and inserted into the inner wall of the junction box. The position of the positioning cover can then be rotated. The inner wall of the positioning cover is threadedly connected to the side wall of the connector. Therefore, by rotating, the position of the positioning cover can be quickly stabilized, and the position of the cable can be initially stabilized.

[0011] Preferably, the support base is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the junction box, and the top of the support base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, a triangular bracket is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support base, and the bottom of the triangular bracket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the junction box.

[0013] Preferably, there are three cables, all of the same shape and size, and the three cables are fixedly installed on the right side of the junction box.

[0014] This invention provides a smart cable connector for pluggable, quick-replacement components. It offers the following advantages: (1) When the operator installs one end of the cable onto the inner wall of the junction box, the hydraulic cylinder can be directly activated. The hydraulic cylinder can move the position of the moving plate, which in turn moves the position of the adjusting plate. The adjusting plate moves the positions of the T-block and the adjusting block. Under the action of the long rod, the adjusting block moves the rectangular block to slide on the inner wall of the arc-shaped limiting block. When the rectangular block slides on the inner wall of the arc-shaped limiting block, it moves the position of the long rod and the adjusting block. The adjusting block further moves the T-block to slide downward on the inner wall of the adjusting plate. At this time, the displacement plate moves the position of the arc-shaped plate and the rectangular pressure plate downward. The rectangular pressure plate further moves the position of the anti-slip pad downward, causing the bottom of the anti-slip pad to contact the top of the cable and squeeze the side wall of the cable. This quickly and stably installs the cable, solving the problem that existing cable joints often require complex tools and long operation time when components need to be replaced. Some cable joints require disassembling multiple layers of protective structure when internal components are damaged, which is not only time-consuming but also prone to causing secondary damage to the cable during disassembly.

[0015] (2) In this invention, the operator rotates the position of the snap-fit ​​block, which in turn rotates the position of the plug rod, causing the auxiliary plate two to no longer limit the position of the snap-fit ​​block. Then, the position of the snap-fit ​​block is moved to the right, and the snap-fit ​​block drives the plug rod to slide on the inner wall of the sleeve one. At the same time, the plug rod also slides on the inner wall of the locking plate. When one end of the plug rod is disengaged from the inner wall of the locking plate, the position of the locking plate can be rotated directly. The locking plate further drives the box cover to rotate on the top of the connector box, which makes it easier for the operator to install and disassemble the parts on the inner wall of the connector box.

[0016] (3) In this invention, the operator puts the positioning cover on the surface of the cable, and then one end of the cable can be directly passed through the inner wall of the connector and further inserted into the inner wall of the junction box. Then the position of the positioning cover can be directly rotated. The inner wall of the positioning cover is threadedly connected to the side wall of the connector. Therefore, by rotating, the position of the positioning cover can be quickly stabilized and the position of the cable can be initially stabilized.

[0017] (4) The present invention can support the position of the hydraulic cylinder by setting a support base, and the stability of the support base can be effectively improved by setting a triangular bracket, making it easier for operators to use the device. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of the present invention, specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example 1: A preferred embodiment of the smart cable connector for a pluggable quick-change component provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown: A smart cable connector for a pluggable quick-change assembly, including a connector box 1, The cable 3 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the junction box 1. There are three cables 3, and the three cables 3 are all the same size and shape. The three cables 3 are fixedly installed on the right side of the junction box 1. The cover 2 is mounted on top of the junction box 1 via a hinge; And the connecting component 4 is located on the side of the junction box 1; The connecting component 4 includes a connecting mechanism 41 located on the side of the connector box 1; An auxiliary mechanism 42 is provided on the side wall of the junction box 1, and the auxiliary mechanism 42 is located in front of the connecting mechanism 41; A mounting mechanism 43 is provided on the side of junction box 1.

[0026] The connecting mechanism 41 includes an arc-shaped pad 411 and a hydraulic cylinder 412. The hydraulic cylinder 412 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the junction box 1. A movable plate 413 is driven and installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 412. An adjusting plate 414 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the movable plate 413. A T-block 419 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the adjusting plate 414. An adjusting block 418 is fixedly installed at one end of the T-block 419. A long rod 417 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the adjusting block 418. A displacement plate 4110 is fixedly installed on the side wall. An arc-shaped plate 4111 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the displacement plate 4110. A rectangular pressure plate 4112 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 4111. An anti-slip pad 4113 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rectangular pressure plate 4112. Rectangular blocks 415 are fixedly installed at both ends of the long rod 417. An arc-shaped limiting block 416 is slidably installed on the side wall of the rectangular block 415. The side wall of the arc-shaped limiting block 416 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the junction box 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped pad 411 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the junction box 1. There are three arc-shaped pads 411, and the three arc-shaped pads 411 are all the same size and shape. The three arc-shaped pads 411 are distributed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the junction box 1. By setting the arc-shaped pads 411, the bottom of the cable can be supported.

[0028] Furthermore, the side wall of the rectangular pressure plate 4112 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connector box 1, the side wall of the adjusting plate 414 is slidably connected to the side wall of the adjusting block 418, and the side wall of the rectangular block 415 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connector box 1. There are three rectangular pressure plates 4112, and the three rectangular pressure plates 4112 are all the same in shape and size.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, when the operator installs one end of the cable onto the inner wall of the junction box 1, the hydraulic cylinder 412 can be directly activated. The hydraulic cylinder 412 can move the position of the moving plate 413, which in turn moves the position of the adjusting plate 414. The adjusting plate 414 moves the positions of the T-block 419 and the adjusting block 418. Under the action of the long rod 417, the adjusting block 418 moves the rectangular block 415 to slide on the inner wall of the arc-shaped limiting block 416. When the inner wall of the positioning block 416 slides, it will drive the long rod 417 and the adjusting block 418 to move. The adjusting block 418 will further drive the T-shaped block 419 to slide downward on the inner wall of the adjusting plate 414. At this time, the displacement plate 4110 will drive the arc plate 4111 and the rectangular pressure plate 4112 to descend. The rectangular pressure plate 4112 will further drive the anti-slip pad 4113 to descend, causing the bottom of the anti-slip pad 4113 to contact the top of the cable, squeezing the side wall of the cable, and quickly stabilizing the position of the cable.

[0030] Example 2: Based on Example 1, a preferred embodiment of the smart cable connector for a pluggable quick-change component provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown: The auxiliary mechanism 42 includes a locking plate 421. One end of the locking plate 421 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the cover 2. A plug-in rod 424 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the locking plate 421. A first sleeve 423 is slidably installed on the side wall of the plug-in rod 424. A second sleeve 427 is slidably installed on the side wall of the plug-in rod 424. One end of the first sleeve 423 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector box 1. One end of the second sleeve 427 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connector box 1. Located on the right side of sleeve 423, a snap-fit ​​block 426 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the plug rod 424. An auxiliary plate 425 is provided on the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​block 426 with a rectangular groove. One end of the auxiliary plate 425 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the junction box 1. A reinforcing rod 428 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the auxiliary plate 425. An auxiliary plate 422 is fixedly installed on the other end of the reinforcing rod 428. One end of the auxiliary plate 422 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the junction box 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the side wall diameter of the plug rod 424 is the same as the inner wall diameter of the positioning groove formed on the inner wall of the locking plate 421, and the inner wall of the locking plate 421 is in contact with the side wall of the connector box 1.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, when the operator needs to repair the internal parts, he can directly rotate the position of the locking block 426. The locking block 426 drives the position of the plug rod 424 to rotate, causing the auxiliary plate 425 to no longer limit the position of the locking block 426. Then, the position of the locking block 426 is moved to the right. The locking block 426 drives the plug rod 424 to slide on the inner wall of the sleeve 423. At the same time, the plug rod 424 will also slide on the inner wall of the locking plate 421. When one end of the plug rod 424 is disengaged from the inner wall of the locking plate 421, the position of the locking plate 421 can be directly rotated. The locking plate 421 further drives the cover 2 to rotate on the top of the connector box 1, which makes it easier for the operator to install and disassemble the parts on the inner wall of the connector box 1.

[0033] Example 3: Based on Examples 1 and 2, a preferred embodiment of the smart cable connector for a pluggable quick-change component provided by the present invention is as follows: Figures 1 to 6 As shown: The mounting mechanism 43 includes a connector 432 and a support base 433. One end of the connector 432 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the connector box 1. A positioning cover 431 is threaded onto the side wall of the connector 432. There are three positioning covers 431, and the three positioning covers 431 are all the same in shape and size.

[0034] In this embodiment, the support base 433 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the junction box 1, and the top of the support base 433 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 412.

[0035] Furthermore, a triangular bracket 434 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support base 433, and the bottom of the triangular bracket 434 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the junction box 1.

[0036] In the specific implementation process, when the operator uses the device, first put the positioning cover 431 on the surface of the cable, and then directly pass one end of the cable through the inner wall of the connector 432 and further insert it into the inner wall of the junction box 1. Then the position of the positioning cover 431 can be rotated directly. The inner wall of the positioning cover 431 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the connector 432. Therefore, by rotating, the position of the positioning cover 431 can be quickly stabilized, and the position of the cable can be initially stabilized.
