[0048] You can refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a submarine cable splicing box 100, including a splicing box body 110, a reinforcement assembly 120 and a sealing assembly 130. The reinforcement assembly 120 is arranged on two opposite sides of the splicing box body 110. The reinforcement assembly 120 includes a fixing seat 121, a first connecting sleeve 122 and a second connecting sleeve 123. The fixing seat 121 is fixedly connected to one side of the splicing box body 110, the first connecting sleeve 122 is connected to the fixing seat 121, the fixing seat 121 has a first mounting hole, the first connecting sleeve 122 has a second mounting hole, the first mounting hole is connected to the inside of the splicing box body 110, and the first mounting hole is connected to the second mounting hole. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are connected, and the cable core of the submarine cable 200 is passed through the junction box body 110 through the first mounting hole. The second connecting sleeve 123 is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting sleeve 122, and one end of the second connecting sleeve 123 is connected to the fixing seat 121. A gap 124 with adjustable width is formed between the first connecting sleeve 122 and the second connecting sleeve 123 to clamp the armor layer of the submarine cable 200 through the gap 124. The sealing component 130 is arranged between the reinforcement component 120 and the submarine cable 200, and the sealing component 130 is used to seal the gap 124 between the reinforcement component 120 and the submarine cable 200.

[0049] It can be understood that the material of the fixing seat 121, the first connecting sleeve 122 and the second connecting sleeve 123 can all use conductive metal materials, so as to achieve grounding through the armored metal layer. Specifically, the material of the fixing seat 121, the first connecting sleeve 122 and the second connecting sleeve 123 can use stainless steel with grade 316L.

[0050] The submarine cable splicing box 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model has a structure for clamping the armored metal layer of the submarine cable 200 on both sides of the splicing box body 110. When splicing the submarine cable 200, the cable cores of the submarine cables 200 on both sides of the splicing box 100 can be respectively inserted into the interior of the splicing box 100 along the second installation hole and the first installation hole for splicing, so that the armored metal layer of the submarine cable 200 can be clamped in the gap 124 formed by the first connecting sleeve 122 and the second connecting sleeve 123, and the armored metal layer can be clamped by adjusting the width of the gap 124, so that the electrical connection of the submarine cables 200 on both sides of the splicing box 100 can be achieved, and the induced current generated in the splicing box 100 can be grounded, so as to avoid the induced current from gathering in the splicing box 100 and damaging the optical unit, thereby effectively protecting the optical unit. In addition, by reinforcing the connection of the armored metal layer of the submarine cable 200, the overall connection strength of the splicing part of the submarine cable 200 can also be improved to prevent the splicing part from slipping.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the outer wall of the first connecting sleeve 122 may include a first conical surface, the inner wall of the second connecting sleeve 123 may include a second conical surface, a gap 124 is formed between the first conical surface and the second conical surface, and the width of the gap 124 changes with the change of the relative position of the first connecting sleeve 122 and the second connecting sleeve 123 along the axial direction of the second mounting hole. It can be understood that when the armor metal layer needs to be placed in the gap 124 between the first conical surface and the second conical surface, the first connecting sleeve 122 and the second connecting sleeve 123 can be separated along the axial direction of the second mounting hole, so that the gap 124 between the first conical surface and the second conical surface becomes wider, so as to facilitate the placement of the armor metal layer in the gap 124, and then the first connecting sleeve 122 and the second connecting sleeve 123 can be brought close to each other along the axial direction of the second mounting hole, so that the gap 124 between the first conical surface and the second conical surface becomes narrower, thereby clamping the armor metal layer in the gap 124, and the clamping of the armor metal layer in the above manner is not only convenient to operate but also reliable in clamping firmness, and the armor metal layer is not easy to slip off.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the diameters of the first conical surface and the second conical surface can be reduced in the direction away from the fixing seat 121. Such a design can reduce the bending degree of the armor metal layer at the entrance of the gap 124 and reduce stress concentration.

It can be understood that when the armored metal layer needs to be placed in the gap 124 between the first conical surface and the second conical surface, the threaded connector 125 can be screwed in a specific direction to separate the first connection sleeve 122 and the second connection sleeve 123 along the axial direction of the second mounting hole, and then the threaded connector 125 can be screwed in the opposite direction to make the first connection sleeve 122 and the second connection sleeve 123 close to each other along the axial direction of the second mounting hole, thereby clamping the armored metal layer in the gap 124. Specifically, the threaded connector 125 may include bolts and nuts.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the end of the fixing seat 121 away from the junction box body 110 may be provided with a slot, and one end of the first connecting sleeve 122 is snapped into the slot. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that when the second connecting sleeve 123 is connected to the fixed seat 121, it can generate an extrusion force on the first conical surface of the first connecting sleeve 122 toward the fixed seat 121, so that the end of the first connecting sleeve 122 is pressed tightly against the groove on the fixed seat 121 to prevent the first connecting sleeve 122 from shaking.

The first sealing member 131 uses such a conical surface for sealing, which can improve the sealing effect on the one hand, and make the first sealing member 131 more stably connected on the other hand, to avoid loosening due to shaking.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the first sealing member 131 may be configured to extend from a side of the second connecting sleeve 123 away from the fixing seat 121, the outer wall of the end of the second connecting sleeve 123 away from the fixing seat 121 has an external thread, the reinforcing assembly 120 further includes a fastening nut 126, the fastening nut 126 has a central hole for the submarine cable 200 to pass through, the fastening nut 126 is threadedly connected to the external thread on the second connecting sleeve 123, and the fastening nut 126 abuts against the end of the first sealing member 131 extending from the second connecting sleeve 123. By fastening the fastening nut 126 to tighten the first sealing member 131, the reliability and sealing effect of the first sealing member 131 can be further improved.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the sealing assembly 130 may further include a second sealing member 132, which is configured to be disposed between the inner wall of the fixing seat 121 and the submarine cable 200. The second sealing member 132 can seal the gap 124 between the fixing seat 121 and the submarine cable 200. By performing double sealing together with the first sealing member 131 and the second sealing member 132, the sealing performance of the junction box 100 can be further improved.

[0059] The first sealing member 131 and the second sealing member 132 may specifically be sealing ring structures, and may be made of elastic waterproof material, such as rubber.
