Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable production and construction auxiliary equipment, in particular to a bracket for welding cable flexible joint conductors. Background Art

[0002] As an important power grid equipment, power cables play an important role in transmitting energy and information and are widely used. Cables can be divided into land cables and submarine cables according to the use scenario. The construction environment of land cable joints is simpler and more convenient than that of submarine cables. Generally, prefabricated intermediate joints are used to connect cables at the construction site. This method has the characteristics of high efficiency, high reliability and low cost. Submarine cables are one of the most important equipment in submarine power transmission projects. They are widely used in power transmission projects such as power transmission across rivers and straits, power supply to islands, power grid interconnection, power supply to offshore drilling platforms, and grid connection between offshore wind farms and land power grids. The construction environment of submarine cables is complex, and the installation after the joint has high requirements on mechanical properties such as cable bending. It is not suitable for joint processing at the offshore laying site. Therefore, submarine cables generally have long lengths and intermediate joints completed in the factory.

[0003] Among them, the submarine cable flexible joint technology is an important problem that restricts the development of submarine cables. The conductor welding process in the flexible joint technology needs to be assisted by a tooling bracket. Because the welding is carried out at high temperature, in order to reduce the temperature of the conductor welding, a cooling mold is often provided inside the existing welding bracket. In order to facilitate the reinforcement of the conductor, the cooling mold is divided into two parts, the upper and lower parts, which need to be closed during operation; and for cables of different diameters, the mold needs to be replaced. How to better fix the cooling mold, ensure the accuracy of the mold closing, and improve the efficiency of mold change are technical problems that technicians in this field need to solve.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to developing a cable flexible joint conductor welding bracket which has a simple structure and is convenient for fixing a cooling mold. Utility Model Content
