[0040] The terminal cable assembly 11 includes a terminal 12 and a clamping ring 13. The clamping ring 13 is sleeved on the terminal 12 and fixed in the axial direction of the terminal 12. The clamping ring 13 is an elastic deformation structure in the radial direction of the terminal 12 so that the radial size of the clamping ring 13 is variable.

[0044] By setting a terminal cable assembly 11 and a sheath assembly 14, the terminal cable assembly 11 includes a terminal 12 and a clamping ring 13, the clamping ring 13 is sleeved on the terminal 12, and the clamping ring 13 is fixed in the axial direction of the terminal 12, and the clamping ring 13 is an elastic deformation structure in the radial direction of the terminal 12, so that the radial size of the clamping ring 13 is variable; the sheath assembly 14 is provided with a mounting hole 15, the terminal 12 and the clamping ring 13 are accommodated in the mounting hole 15, the clamping ring 13 abuts against the sheath assembly 14, so that the clamping ring 13 and the sheath assembly 14 are relatively fixed in the axial direction of the terminal 12; when the radial size of the clamping ring 13 is smaller than a preset value, the clamping ring 13 is separated from the sheath assembly 14, when the terminal 12 fails, the disassembly part is used to abut the clamping ring 13 until the radial size of the clamping ring 13 is smaller than the preset value, so that the clamping ring 13 is separated from the sheath assembly 14, and after the terminal 12 is taken out from the sheath assembly 14, a new terminal 12 is replaced, thereby solving the problem of difficult maintenance when the terminal 12 fails.
[0045] The retaining ring 13 is used to slide relative to the sleeve assembly 14 in the axial direction of the terminal 12 when it is elastically compressed to a radial dimension smaller than a preset value. When the terminal 12 fails, there is no need to remove the tail cover 148. Instead, the terminal 12 is removed from the sleeve assembly 14 using the disassembly part 20, thereby solving the problem of cumbersome disassembly when the terminal 12 fails.

Optionally, the first side surface 122 and the second side surface 123 are chemically polished, and the specific process is to use an oxidant solution to oxidize the surface of the first side surface 122 and the second side surface 123 under certain conditions, and the oxide layer can gradually dissolve into the solution. The micro-protrusions of the first side surface 122 and the second side surface 123 are oxidized faster and more, while the micro-concave parts are oxidized slowly and less. Similarly, the oxide layer at the protrusions spreads more and faster than everywhere, and dissolves in the solution, so that the surface of the first side surface 122 and the second side surface 123 is gradually leveled to avoid scratching the snap ring 13. Chemical polishing is used to process the first side surface 122 and the second side surface 123, so as to protect the thin walls of the first side surface 122 and the second side surface 123 and avoid affecting the material stiffness, thereby making the first side surface 122 and the second side surface 123 smooth and glossy.

A metal material with a lower melting point than the barrel and the insert 202 is used as a brazing material, and the barrel, the insert 202 and the brazing material are heated to a temperature higher than the melting point of the brazing material and lower than the melting point of the barrel and the insert 202. The barrel and the insert 202 are wetted with liquid brazing material to fill the interface gap and achieve mutual diffusion between atoms with the barrel and the insert 202, thereby achieving welding. The welding connection method is simple to operate and has a stable connection. The utility model uses brazing as an example of the connection method, which should not be understood as a limitation of the utility model.
