[0029] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0032] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-9 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a quick-connect device for cables in a low-voltage branch box, including a quick connector 1 for connecting an upper cable 2 and a lower cable 3, a butt connector 41 of a snap-fit ​​assembly, and the butt connector 41 is fixed to the quick connector 1, providing a pre-plugging measure for the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3.

[0033] Specifically, it also includes an expansion ring 42 fixed on the outside of the connector 41. The expansion ring 42 expands and tightens the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 that pass through the connector 41 and are inserted into the quick connector 1. Especially when the temperature rises, based on the principle of thermal expansion, it further interferes with the outer sheath of the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3, thus playing a preliminary anti-detachment role.

[0034] The quick connector 41 has an annular anti-detachment groove 43 for limiting the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3. The anti-detachment groove 43 is designed with an axisymmetric inward tilt along the transverse axis of the quick connector 1. The anti-detachment groove 43 with the oblique tooth design can be used to press the outer jacket of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 inserted into the quick connector 41, and also provide a reverse limiting measure for the outer jacket.

[0035] Specifically, the quick connector 1 has an insulating cylinder 44 embedded in the middle in a triangular equidistant shape for connecting the inner cores of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3. The outer jacket of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 is peeled off in advance, and the exposed inner cores are connected and insulated one by one through the insulating cylinder 44. This not only achieves the pre-connection effect of the outer jacket of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3, but also plays a role in connecting the inner cores one by one, so as to avoid poor contact between the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 after connection.

[0036] Furthermore, both the upper and lower sides of the insulating cylinder 44 are fixed with binding rings 45 for limiting the wire core. Through the binding rings 45, the outer sheaths of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 at the port of the insulating cylinder 44 are elastically bound and closed, which plays an auxiliary role in limiting and sealing and dust prevention.

[0037] Example 2, refer to Figures 1-9 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0038] Specifically, an inward compressive force is applied to the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 through the screw connection assembly and the locking assembly.

[0039] Specifically, the screw assembly includes external threads 51 that are annularly opened on the upper and lower sides of the quick connector 1, and locking heads 53 are slidably passed through on both the upper and lower sides of the quick connector 1. The two sets of locking heads 53 slide back and forth on the sliding end faces reserved on the upper and lower sides of the quick connector 1 to meet the requirements of the two sets of locking heads 53 for process locking and return reset.

[0040] The locking head 53 has an inner thread groove 52 that is threaded to the outer thread 51. When the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 are connected, the two sets of locking heads 53 are manually slid inward along the sliding end face area reserved on the upper and lower sides of the quick connector 1 into the reserved sealing groove of the connector 41, and then screwed clockwise through the inner thread groove 52 to the outer thread 51 to tighten the locking head 53, which is used to lock the process and facilitates the double abutment action of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 sheath.

[0041] The quick connector 1 has a limiting ring 6 fixed in the middle that engages with the locking head 53. When the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 are disconnected, the locking head 53 is turned counterclockwise. After the inner thread groove 52 disengages from the outer thread 51, the two sets of locking heads 53 are moved outward along the reserved sliding end face area on the upper and lower sides of the quick connector 1, disengaging from the reserved sealing groove of the connector 41, and sliding to the limiting ring 6. The two sets of locking heads 53 are then engaged and left to stand still during the return stroke.

[0042] Specifically, the inner side of the locking head 53 is respectively fixed with a pressing end 54 and a stopping end 55 in a ring, and is located on the outer ring of the external thread 51, so as to avoid the pressing end 54 and the stopping end 55 from colliding and interfering with the external thread 51 when the locking head 53 returns to its original position.

[0043] The locking assembly includes a bending groove 71 circumferentially formed inside the quick connector 1, and a bending head 72 that matches the pressing end 54 is provided in the bending groove 71. The bending groove 71 provides space support for the pressing deformation of the bending head 72. The inner end of the pressing end 54 adopts a stepped arc chamfer design that matches the bending head 72, which improves the smoothness of the pressing end 54's inner sliding and pressing action on the bending head 72 and avoids jamming between the pressing end 54 and the bending head 72.

[0044] An extension end is reserved at the outer end of the pressure end 54 for sealing the bending head 72. This ensures that while the pressure end 54 is pressed against the circumferentially distributed bending heads 72, the extension end limits and seals the bending heads 72 that are squeezed inward, thus offsetting the reverse squeezing force generated by the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 sheath on the bending head 72, and also serves as a dustproof function.

[0045] The inner side of the bending head 72 is fixed with a pressing head 73 for pressing the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 sheath together. The pressing head 73 is made of insulating material and has a pressing surface with anti-slip texture on the inner side, which increases the friction coefficient between the upper and lower rows of pressing heads 73 and the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 sheath, thus playing an anti-slip role.

[0046] In use: The two sets of locking heads 53 in the process lock state drive the pressure end 54 inside to slide synchronously inward along the sliding end face area reserved on the upper and lower sides of the quick connector 1. When the pressure end 54 reaches the area of ​​several circumferentially distributed bending heads 72, the bending heads 72 are subjected to the inward squeezing force gradually generated by the pressure end 54, which forces the bending heads 72 to undergo synchronous squeezing deformation inward in the bending groove 71, and synchronously drive the same number of pressure heads 73 to press against the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 jackets that are pre-inserted into place. Then, the pressure is applied evenly and comprehensively to the jackets of the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 to complete the first-level locking connection action.

[0047] A limiting sleeve 74 is embedded in the outer circumference of the quick connector 1, and a stop head 75 is provided inside the limiting sleeve 74 for stopping the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3. The inner diameter of the reserved openings on both sides of the limiting sleeve 74 is smaller than the outer diameter of the stop head 75 to prevent the stop head 75 from being squeezed by the stop end 55, thus avoiding the phenomenon of detachment and falling off due to the restraint of the limiting sleeve 74. The limiting sleeve 74 and the stop head 75 adopt a clearance fit to meet the requirement of the stop head 75 to move inward and squeeze within the limiting sleeve 74. After the two sets of locking heads 53 return to their original position and lose the squeezing force of the stop end 55, it is convenient for the stop head 75 to move inward and outward within the limiting sleeve 74, making it easy to pull out the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3.

[0048] The stop head 75 adopts a hard sphere design made of insulating material. The inner end of the stop end 55 adopts a concave arc chamfer design that matches the stop head 75, which increases the squeezing force of the stop end 55 on the stop head 75, forcing the stop head 75 to effectively press against the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 jacket. At the same time, it avoids the stop head 75 from being deformed by the reverse squeezing force generated by the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 jacket.

[0049] In use: The two sets of locking heads 53 in the process lock state drive the abutment ends 55 inside to slide synchronously inward along the sliding end face areas reserved on the upper and lower sides of the quick connector 1. When the abutment ends 55 reach the area of ​​several abutment heads 75 distributed around the circumference, the several abutment heads 75 are subjected to the inward squeezing force gradually generated by the abutment ends 55, forcing the several abutment heads 75 to move synchronously inward within the limiting sleeve 74, and uniformly and comprehensively abutting the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 jacket that are pre-inserted into place. Combined with the first-level locking connection action of the pressure end 54 and the bending head 72, the double locking connection operation of the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 jacket is completed.

[0050] If the connection section of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 is damaged, the two sets of locking heads 53 will slide back inward, and several pressing heads 73 will lose the squeezing force of the pressing end 54, and several stopping heads 75 will also lose the squeezing force of the stopping end 55. Then, the connection section of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 will be pulled outward, and under the action of the pulling force, the bending heads 72 on several pressing heads 73 will be forced to deform outward in the bending groove 71, and several stopping heads 75 will slide outward in the limiting sleeve 74, releasing the squeezing and locking measures of the connection section of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3. After maintenance, the double locking can be re-established as above. It is not a one-time locking, can be reused, and is easy to operate.

[0051] The stop head 75 and the pressure head 73 are both interference-fitted with the outer sheaths of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3, so that the stop head 75 and the pressure head 73 are pressed into place with the outer sheaths of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3. The outer sheath areas of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 are also squeezed and indented after being doubly locked by the stop head 75 and the pressure head 73, which enhances the mutual stopping and fastening effect.

[0052] Furthermore, the stop head 75 and the pressure head 73 are distributed in an alternating manner, and the alternating clamping method is used to uniformly and comprehensively lock the double locking areas of the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 jacket, further forcing the connection between them to be more secure.

[0053] Example 3, referring to Figures 1-9 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0054] Specifically, the wiring box 9 with mounting ears 8 is pre-fixed inside the low-voltage branch box to provide wiring measures for the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3, and reverse restriction measures are applied to the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3 through the toothed assembly and the limiting assembly.

[0055] Specifically, the toothed assembly includes a damping bearing 101 embedded in the wiring box 9, and an anti-detachment turntable 102 with a pinch lug is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the damping bearing 101. Both the anti-detachment turntable 102 and the inner side of the wiring box 9 are provided with mating tooth grooves 103 to meet the through-insertion requirements of the mating teeth 104 and the mating tooth grooves 103 on the two sets of locking heads 53.

[0056] Furthermore, the outer side of the anti-detachment turntable 102 does not adopt the design of the mating tooth groove 103, but is a smooth solid surface. It rotates and seals the mating teeth 104 on the two sets of locking heads 53 that are in place. Then, it provides lateral limiting and anti-detachment measures for the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 that are locked in place, and also prevents dust from entering from the exposed mating tooth groove 103, thus playing a sealing and dustproof role.

[0057] Both sides of the locking head 53 are fixed with mating teeth 104 that are inserted into the mating groove 103, and the outer side of the mating teeth 104 penetrates the mating groove 103 and meshes with a round gear 105 that rotates with the wiring box 9.

[0058] In use: After manually locking and connecting the upper cable 2 and the lower cable 3, the mating teeth 104 on the two sets of locking heads 53 pass through the inward mating grooves 103 on the anti-detachment turntable 102 and the wiring box 9, reaching the meshing part of the upper and lower sets of spur gears 105. Then, pinch the ear to drive the anti-detachment turntable 102 to rotate in opposite directions, disengaging the mating grooves 103 on the anti-detachment turntable 102 from the mating grooves 103 on the wiring box 9, until the smooth solid surface on the anti-detachment turntable 102 rotates to the mating groove 103 area on the wiring box 9, with the mating grooves 103 on the anti-detachment turntable 102 facing outward. Then, the smooth solid surface on the anti-detachment turntable 102, now in position, seals the mating teeth 104 meshing with the meshing part of the upper and lower sets of spur gears 105.

[0059] Specifically, the limiting component includes a concentric shaft 111 fixed inside the spur gear 105, and a ratchet 112 that rotates with the wiring box 9 is sleeved on the concentric shaft 111. The inner side of the ratchet 112 is engaged with a pawl 113 that rotates with the wiring box 9, and the outer side of the pawl 113 is fixed with a spring 114 that is fixed with the wiring box 9.

[0060] In use: When the mating teeth 104 on the two sets of locking heads 53 reach the meshing part of the upper and lower sets of spur gears 105 and are limited and blocked by the smooth solid surface on the anti-detachment turntable 102, the pawl 113 provides a reverse restriction measure to the ratchet 112 on the concentric shaft 111 of the upper and lower sets of spur gears 105, and the spring 114 provides elastic resistance to the pawl 113, forcing the pawl 113 to always be stuck on the ratchet 112. This provides a longitudinal limit and anti-detachment measure for the two sets of locking heads 53 that are in place, as well as the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 that are doubly locked in place. It also facilitates the connection of the upper cable 2 and lower cable 3 to the in place for quick wiring in the low-voltage branch box.

[0061] The upper and lower sets of ratchet wheels 112 and pawls 113 are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal axis of the wiring box 9, and the limiting directions of the two sets of ratchet wheels 112 and pawls 113 are opposite. The upper two sets of ratchet wheels 112 and pawls 113 apply a downward limiting force to the upper locking head 53 through the two sets of sprockets 105, and simultaneously the lower two sets of ratchet wheels 112 and pawls 113 apply an upward limiting force to the lower locking head 53 through the two sets of sprockets 105. This prevents the two sets of locking heads 53 from becoming loose or disengaged, resulting in a tighter overall fit.

[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
