Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wiring terminals, in particular to a straight-through copper-aluminum terminal with a long service life. Background Art

[0002] Copper-aluminum terminal is a type of terminal. It is made of copper and aluminum. The two are combined together through professional technology to form a whole. This terminal is mainly used for the transition connection between aluminum core cables and copper ends of electrical equipment in power distribution equipment to avoid corrosion problems caused by direct contact between aluminum core cables and copper ends of electrical equipment.

[0003] The connection between the aluminum conductor and the copper conductor of the existing copper-aluminum terminal is directly exposed to the outside. When it encounters humid air or comes into contact with moisture such as rain, a galvanic cell will form at the connection, causing accelerated corrosion of the connection. After long-term use, the connection is prone to breakage and has a short service life. Utility Model Content

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0016] See also Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a straight-through copper-aluminum terminal with a long service life, comprising an aluminum conductor 1 and a copper conductor 2 connected to one end of the aluminum conductor 1, a groove 6 is provided at the connection between the aluminum conductor 1 and the copper conductor 2, a sealing ring 3 is installed on the outer side of the groove 6, and the sealing ring 3 is used to shield and seal the connection between the aluminum conductor 1 and the copper conductor 2 to prevent the connection from contacting moisture to form a galvanic cell, which causes accelerated corrosion of the connection, thereby extending the service life, and a connecting hole 4 is provided at one end of the aluminum conductor 1 away from the copper conductor 2, and the connecting hole 4 is convenient for connecting the aluminum conductor 1 with a cable.

[0017] The inner wall of the connection hole 4 is provided with a thread 5. When the aluminum conductor 1 is crimped onto the outside of the cable, the thread 5 can increase the friction between the aluminum conductor 1 and the cable, thereby making the connection between the aluminum conductor 1 and the cable more secure.

[0018] The sealing ring 3 and the groove 6 are interference fit, and the interference fit enables the sealing ring 3 to fit more closely to the outer side of the groove 6 , thereby improving the sealing effect of the sealing ring 3 .

[0019] Among them, the material of the sealing ring 3 is silicone rubber, which has excellent sealing and waterproof properties, can effectively resist the penetration of moisture, and prevent moisture from contacting the connection between the aluminum conductor 1 and the copper conductor 2. It also has good high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, a long service life, and excellent electrical insulation performance. It can maintain stable insulation performance under high voltage and is not prone to breakdown and leakage.

[0020] The axial centers of the aluminum conductor 1 and the copper conductor 2 are located on the same center line.

[0021] Specifically, when connecting the cable, insert the cable into the connecting hole 4, use a tool to crimp the aluminum conductor 1 to the outside of the cable, and the thread 5 contacts the cable to increase the friction between the aluminum conductor 1 and the cable, thereby making the cable connection more secure. During use, when encountering a humid environment or rain, the sealing ring 3 will prevent the connection between the aluminum conductor 1 and the copper conductor 2 from contacting moisture, avoiding the formation of a primary battery, which will cause the connection between the aluminum conductor 1 and the copper conductor 2 to be corroded faster, thereby extending the service life.
