Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to cable accessories, in particular to cable accessories and cable components. Background Art

[0002] Cable accessories are products that connect cables to power transmission and distribution lines and related distribution devices. They generally refer to the intermediate connections and terminal connections of various cables in cable lines. Together with the cables, they constitute a power transmission network.

[0003] The existing cold shrink cable accessories are supported by the stress of the internal support tube before installation and are under high tension. Since the cold shrink cable accessories are pre-expanded, the support tube may fall off or the silicone material may not shrink properly due to fatigue when the support tube is stored for a long time. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that there is sufficient elastic compression force after installation on the cable. The elastic stress will gradually relax with the increase of time. In this case, it is difficult to ensure the shrinkage stress of the cold shrink cable accessories when connecting the cable, which makes it easy for the cable accessories to be not tightly connected when connecting the cable. In addition, the existing cable accessories often need to be used in conjunction with the stress cone when in use. Because the stress cone requires a certain holding force on the cable, the inner diameter of the stress cone needs to be much smaller than the outer diameter of the cable. The existing installation method is manual installation, which consumes a lot of physical strength, and it is not easy to install the stress cone on the cable, and the operation is relatively laborious.

[0025] The clamping plate 502 is arc-shaped, and a plurality of elastic members 501 are evenly distributed in an array along the circumference on the inner wall of the groove 4 on the same side, which can increase the contact area between the clamping plate 502 and the cable 7 and ensure the fixing effect of the clamping plate 502 on the cable 7.

[0026] Among them, the guide sleeve 601 is composed of two semicircular installation sleeves 602, and a limit ring 603 is fixedly installed at one end of the installation sleeve 602.
