Based on the embodiments of 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.

[0036] The utility model provides an underground cable docking box, comprising: a docking box body 1 and two docking joints, wherein the docking box body 1 has through holes at both ends in the length direction thereof; the two docking joints are arranged in the docking box body 1, and the docking joints comprise: a mounting bracket 21, a main sleeve 221, a sub-sleeve 222, a welding plate 23, a conductor 5, etc., wherein the mounting bracket 21 is connected to the bottom of the docking box body 1; the main sleeve 221 is connected to the mounting bracket 21, one end of the main sleeve 221 is open and faces the through hole, and the docking end of the cable is sleeved in the main sleeve 221; the sub-sleeve 222 is connected to the mounting bracket 21, one end of the sub-sleeve 222 is open and faces the through hole, and the butt end of the cable is sleeved in the main sleeve 221; Towards the through hole, the sub-sleeve 222 is located inside the main sleeve 221 and is directly opposite to the conductive core of the cable; the welding plate 23 is detachably connected to the sub-sleeve 222, and the side of the welding plate 23 facing the through hole can contact the conductive core of the cable, and an electric heating wire is provided inside the welding plate 23 for heating the welding plate 23 so that the welding plate 23 and the conductive core are melted; the conductor 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 21, and one end of the conductor 5 faces the inside of the sub-sleeve 222, and when the welding plate 23 is connected to the sub-sleeve 222, the conductor 5 contacts the welding plate 23 and is electrically connected; the conductors 5 in the two butt joints are electrically connected to each other.

[0037] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 When in use, the butt ends of the two cables are inserted into the main sleeves 221 of the two butt joints one by one, and the conductive core is aligned with the welding plate 23, and the heating wire in the welding plate 23 is used to heat the welding plate to weld the conductive core and the welding plate, thereby completing the welding, keeping the welding plate 23 in contact with the conductor 5, and the two cables are electrically connected to the conductor 5 through the welding plate 23. When the cable joint needs to be replaced and maintained, the welding plate 23 is removed, and the welding plate 23 and the butt ends of the cables are pulled out of the main sleeve 221, and a new welding plate 23 is replaced or a tool is used to separate the cable and the welding plate 23 outside, and then the welding plate 23 is inserted into the sub-sleeve 222 for connection, so that the new cable can be docked, which overcomes the technical defects of the welding cable docking technology, which is inconvenient when repairing and replacing cables, thereby achieving beneficial effects and increasing the convenience of welding cable docking.

[0038] During welding, the existing technical means can be used to add a welding agent between the cable and the welding plate 23 and heat with an electric heating wire to achieve welding.

[0039] In various embodiments, the mounting bracket 21 and the conductor 5 are both prior art parts in a conventional docking box.

[0040] Furthermore, the present invention aims to improve the convenience of cable replacement, and is based on a detachable welding plate and a conductor 5 that can abut against / separate from the welding plate. However, considering that the welding plate has a high temperature during use, adhesion between the welding plate 23 and the conductor 5 may occur, thereby affecting the removal of the welding plate 23. Therefore, it is necessary to consider optimizing the contact structure between the welding plate 23 and the conductor 5. The butt joint also includes:

[0041] The heat-conducting column 24 is slidably sleeved inside the sub-sleeve 222 and is located on the side of the welding plate 23 away from the conductive core. The heat-conducting column 24 has a plurality of first channels parallel to the central axis of the heat-conducting column 24;

[0042] Multiple conductive bundles 25 are parallel to the central axis of the heat-conducting column 24, one conductive bundle 25 corresponds to a first channel, one end of the conductive bundle 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the welding plate 23 away from the conductive core, the conductive bundle 25 can slide in its corresponding first channel, and the other end of the conductive bundle 25 can abut against the conductor 5 to achieve electrical connection between the conductor 5 and the welding plate 23.

[0043] The welding plate 23 realizes the conductive function by disconnecting the conductive bundle 25 from the conductor 5. The conductive bundle 25 passes through the heat-conducting column 24. When the welding plate 23 is at a high temperature, the heat is transferred to the conductive bundle 25. Since the conductive bundle 25 passes through the heat-conducting column 24, the heat can be transferred to the heat-conducting column 24 when passing through the conductive bundle 25, thereby reducing the temperature at the contact point between the conductive bundle 26 and the conductor 5 and avoiding the adhesion problem.

[0044] The heat-conducting pillars 24 include heat-absorbing / heat-conducting materials, such as heat-conducting silicone, graphite, heat-conducting insulating rubber, etc. In each embodiment, the outer side of the conductive beam has an insulating layer.

[0045] Furthermore, it is necessary to consider the technical details of power supply to the heating wire in the detachable welding plate 23, therefore, the butt joint also includes:

[0046] The connecting rod 26 is fixedly connected to the side of the welding plate 23 away from the conductive core. A second channel parallel to the center line of the heat-conducting column 24 is opened in the heat-conducting column 24, and the connecting rod 26 can slide in the second channel;

[0047] The access wire 261 is buried in the connecting rod 26, one end of which penetrates into the welding plate 23 to be electrically connected to the heating wire, and the other end of which passes out from the side of the connecting rod 26 away from the welding plate 23. The outside of the access wire 261 is covered with a ceramic insulation layer;

[0048] The hot-melt wire 262 is buried inside the mounting bracket 21, and one end of the hot-melt wire 262 is located inside the sub-sleeve 222. When the conductive bundle 25 abuts against the conductor 5, the end of the hot-melt wire 262 located inside the sub-sleeve 222 can abut against the end of the access wire 261 that passes through the side of the connecting rod 26 away from the welding plate 23, and the other end of the hot-melt wire 262 passes through the mounting bracket 21;

[0049] The power supply plug 27 is disposed inside the docking box 1 and connected to the end of the hot-melt wire 262 passing through the bracket, so as to be electrically connected to an external power source.

[0050] With the above arrangement, when unpacking and replacing the cable, the power supply plug 27 is used to connect the external power supply to heat the welding plate 23, so as to facilitate the removal / welding of the cable.

[0051] Furthermore, in order to prevent the edge of the welding plate 23 from sticking to the sleeve 222 at high temperature, the welding plate 23 includes a copper alloy plate 231 and a ceramic ring 232. The ceramic ring 232 is fixedly sleeved on the outer edge of the copper alloy plate 231. The connecting rod 26 is fixedly connected to the ceramic ring 232. Each conductive beam 25 is fixedly connected to the copper alloy plate 231. The ceramic ring 232 will not stick at high temperature. At the same time, the copper alloy plate 231 retains the conductive properties of the welding plate 23.

[0052] Furthermore, the butt joint further includes a locking mechanism, which is disposed between the welding plate 23 and the sub-sleeve 222 to achieve a detachable connection between the welding plate 23 and the sub-sleeve 222 .

[0053] Further, the locking mechanism includes: a plurality of fastening bolts 3, and a plurality of corresponding bolt holes are provided on the side wall of the end of the sub-sleeve 222 facing the through hole, wherein the fastening bolts 3 are arranged in the bolt holes and one end of the fastening bolts 3 facing the inside of the sub-sleeve 222 can abut against the outer side surface of the ceramic ring 232, thereby locking the relative position between the welding plate 23 and the sub-sleeve 222 in a fastening manner. This arrangement matches the fastening bolts 3 with the ceramic ring 232, and will not affect the welding plate 23 at high temperature.

[0054] Furthermore, the influence of the heat resistance of the heat-conducting column near the welding plate 23 on its service life is considered. In particular, the heat-conducting column 24 includes a heat-resistant layer 241 and a heat-conducting segment 242 in the axial direction thereof. The heat-resistant layer 241 is connected between the heat-conducting segment 242 and the welding plate 23. The heat-resistant layer 241 is made of ceramic material, and the heat-conducting segment 242 is made of heat-conducting silicone.

[0055] Furthermore, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are formed on the side walls of the main sleeve 221 and the sub-sleeve 222 .

[0056] Furthermore, a heat exhaust fan 4 is connected to the bottom of the docking box 1 . The heat exhaust fan 4 is located below the sub-sleeve 222 . The heat exhaust fan 4 is electrically connected to the power plug 27 .

[0057] With the above arrangement, when the docking box 1 is opened for welding, the power plug 27 can be connected to an external power source, and the heat exhaust fan 4 can be started during welding to speed up the heat dissipation efficiency and avoid the influence of the high-temperature welding plate 23 on other adjacent structures.

[0058] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
