[0034] The technical solution of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the present utility model, not all of the embodiments.

[0035] In order to better understand the utility model of the intermediate joint granular filler filling device, here refer to Figure 1 First, the intermediate joint is briefly described. The intermediate joint includes an intermediate joint insulating body 120 and an intermediate joint outer protective shell 110. The intermediate joint insulating body 120 is arranged in the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110. A filling cavity is formed between the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110 and the intermediate joint insulating body 120. The filling cavity is used to fill the granular filler 400. Two inlet ports are respectively arranged at both ends of the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110, and two injection holes 111 are arranged on the peripheral side of the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110.

[0036] Among them, the insulating body 120 of the intermediate joint can improve the electric field distribution at the cable break to prevent hazards such as creepage or breakdown; the outer protective shell 110 of the intermediate joint can protect other internal intermediate parts, isolate the internal parts from the external environment, play a role in waterproofing and moisture-proofing, and play an isolation role when a fault occurs inside the intermediate joint to avoid expanding the scope of the fault hazard.

[0037] When the intermediate joint is used, the outer sheath, semi-conductive layer and insulating layer of the first cable 310 and the second cable 320 are firstly stripped to expose a certain length of conductor, the conductor parts of the first cable 310 and the second cable 320 are connected, and then the intermediate joint insulating body 120 is installed on the outside of the connected conductor parts; after the first cable 310 and the second cable 320 are connected inside the intermediate joint insulating body 120, the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110 is installed on the outside of the intermediate joint insulating body 120, and the first cable 310 and the second cable 320 are connected from The two line inlets of the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110 pass through; at this point, a cavity structure, namely a filling cavity, is formed between the intermediate joint insulating body 120 and the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110. The filling cavity needs to be filled with granular filler 400 through the injection hole 111 on the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110 to form a filling layer. When breakdown occurs, the high-temperature plasma generated will first combine with the granular filler to generate chemically stable silicon carbide and water, which effectively prevents the high-temperature plasma from impacting the outer protective shell to avoid causing more serious damage.

[0038] The following is a description of the device for pouring and filling a granular filler for an intermediate joint according to an embodiment of the utility model based on the above application scenario.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 The embodiment of the utility model provides a device for filling a granular filler for an intermediate joint, comprising: a funnel 210, an inflating auxiliary tool 230 and an inflating device 220;

[0040] The funnel 210 is placed on a pouring hole 111 and is used to pour the granular filler 400 into the filling cavity through the pouring hole 111;

[0041] The inflation auxiliary tool 230 is arranged on another injection hole 111 and is used to block the injection hole 111. The inflation auxiliary tool 230 is provided with an inflation hole 232 and a peep window 231, and the peep window 231 is used to observe the internal situation of the filling cavity;

[0042] The inflation device 220 has an inflation tube, which is connected to the injection hole 111 through the inflation hole 232. The inflation device 220 is used to inflate the filling cavity through the inflation tube while the granular filler 400 is injected into the filling cavity.

[0043] The granular filler perfusion filling device for the intermediate joint of the utility model can realize filling the filling cavity inside the intermediate joint by means of inflation perfusion, and the perfusion process is as follows: a funnel 210 is placed on a perfusion hole 111 on the outer protective shell 110 of the intermediate joint, and the granular filler 400 is added into the filling cavity through the funnel 210; an inflation auxiliary tool 230 is placed on another perfusion hole 111 on the outer protective shell 110 of the intermediate joint, and an inflation hole 232 is opened on the inflation auxiliary tool 230, and an inflation tube of the inflation device 220 is inserted into the inflation hole 232 and Extend into the filling cavity; while pouring the granular filler 400 into the filling cavity through the funnel 210, turn on the inflation device 220, and the inflation device 220 continuously inflates the filling cavity so that the granular filler 400 can evenly fill the entire filling layer; when the injection holes 111 on one side of the funnel 210 are relatively full, the funnel 210, the inflation device 220, and the inflation auxiliary tooling 230 can be interchanged, and the granular filler 400 is added from the injection holes 111 on the other side, and the injection holes 111 on this side are inflated, thereby ensuring that the filling on both sides can be even and complete.

[0044] The funnel 210 is placed on a perfusion hole 111 on the outer protective shell 110 of the intermediate joint, so as to facilitate the addition of granular filler 400 into the filling cavity. The inflating device 220 is connected to another perfusion hole 111 through an inflating tube, so as to facilitate the inflating device 220 to continuously inflate the filling cavity. The inflating auxiliary tooling 230 is used to block the perfusion hole 111 to which the inflating device 220 is connected through the inflating tube, so as to prevent the granular filler from splashing out and causing waste and pollution, or external impurities from accidentally falling into the filling cavity and damaging the internal structure. The filling device for the intermediate joint with granular filler of the embodiment of the utility model can fill the filling cavity inside the intermediate joint by means of inflating and perfusion through the funnel 210, the inflating device 220 and the inflating auxiliary tooling 230, so as to fill the entire filling cavity with granular filler 400 quickly, conveniently and fully and evenly. Compared with the existing manual filling method, it greatly saves time and human resources, improves installation efficiency, reduces economic costs, and ensures the integrity of the filling layer, achieving a good impact reduction effect.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the two perfusion holes 111 have the same structure and the same size. When the perfusion hole 111 on one side of the funnel 210 is filled, the funnel 210, the inflation device 220, and the inflation auxiliary tooling 230 can be swapped. The two perfusion holes 111 have the same structure and the same size, so the position swap is not affected. After the swap, the granular filler 400 is added from the perfusion hole 111 on the other side, and the perfusion hole 111 on this side is inflated, so as to ensure that the filling on both sides can be uniform and complete.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, two injection holes 111 are arranged along the length direction. The two injection holes 111 are arranged along the length direction, located on the same horizontal line, and are respectively located at both ends of the peripheral side of the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110 near the two inlets.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the filling ports of the two filling holes 111 have the same height. The same filling port height can ensure that the inflation process proceeds smoothly and avoids air leakage.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the inflation auxiliary tooling 230 covers the filling hole 111, it can ensure that there is no risk of filler splashing out during the inflation process, causing waste or pollution, and can prevent the risk of foreign matter accidentally falling into the filling cavity of the middle joint and being difficult to remove or even causing damage to the internal structure.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the inflation auxiliary tooling 230 includes a metal flange cover, the size of the metal flange cover matches the size of the perfusion hole 111, and the metal flange cover is provided with an inflation hole 232 and a peep window 231. The size of the metal flange cover just matches the size of the perfusion hole 111, which can ensure that the inflation auxiliary tooling 230 is placed on the perfusion hole 111 without displacement, and the two perfusion holes 111 have the same structure and size, and the metal flange cover can match the size of the two perfusion holes 111, even if the funnel 210 is interchanged with the inflation device 220 and the metal flange cover, there is no effect. The inflation hole 232 provided on the metal flange cover facilitates the insertion of the inflation tube of the inflation device 220, and the peep window 231 facilitates the observation of the filling condition in the filling cavity.

[0050] In some embodiments, the viewing window 231 is a transparent acrylic viewing window, which facilitates observation of the filling condition inside the filling cavity of the intermediate joint.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the filling device for filling the intermediate joint with a granular filler further includes a sealing cover 240, which is used to detachably seal the two filling holes 111. After the filling cavity is completely filled using the inflation injection method, the funnel 210, the inflation device 220 and the inflation auxiliary tooling 230 are removed, and the sealing cover 240 is installed at the position of the two filling holes 111, which can seal the interior and protect the internal parts.

[0052] In some embodiments, the sealing cover 240 is detachably connected to the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110 through a bolt structure to seal the injection hole 111. Connecting the sealing cover 240 and the intermediate joint outer protective shell 110 through a bolt structure can better achieve fixed sealing.

[0053] In some embodiments, the particle filler 400 has a coarseness of 8 to 70 meshes. The particle filler 400 may be quartz sand with a coarseness of 8 to 70 meshes. Quartz sand has good stability. After filling with quartz sand, when breakdown occurs, the high-temperature plasma with carbon, hydrogen and free electrons as the main components will first combine with the quartz sand to generate chemically stable silicon carbide and water, effectively preventing the plasma from impacting the outer protective shell. Quartz sand with a coarseness of 8 to 70 meshes can better combine with high-temperature plasma with carbon, hydrogen and free electrons as the main components.

[0054] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the utility model.
