Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a high-voltage cable terminal on a motor vehicle, in particular to a high-voltage power cable composite casing terminal for a motor vehicle. Background Art

[0002] High-voltage cable terminals on EMU trains (hereinafter referred to as "cable terminals" or "terminals") have become a top priority for maintaining the safe operation of the vehicle's high-voltage system due to their complex insulation structure, special installation location, large current carrying capacity, and harsh operating conditions such as frequent sudden changes in high and low temperatures, high-speed wind impact and vibration.

[0003] Currently, cable terminals used in high-speed trains primarily utilize heat-shrinkable, multi-layer composite insulation structures. After installation, these terminals primarily provide sealing, waterproofing, insulation, and electric field equalization. However, the assembly process for heat-shrinkable terminal terminals requires stripping the cable's sheath, shielding, and semiconductor layers, resulting in a highly uneven electric field at the terminal. Significant electric field concentration still exists within the terminal, leading to localized aging of the terminal's internal materials.

[0004] Prior art 1:

[0005] like Figure 1 As shown, the heat-shrinkable cable terminal, made of heat-shrinkable material with a rigid sleeve, is primarily assembled from multiple layers of insulating support tubes of varying sizes, heat-shrinkable control tubes, control adhesive, and silicone rubber sheds. The insulating support tubes primarily provide electrical insulation and support, while the heat-shrinkable control tubes primarily provide a uniform electric field.

[0006] During the assembly process of heat-shrinkable cable terminals, the cables need to be cut and polished, and the heat-shrinkable control tube, insulating support tube, etc. need to be heat-shrunk multiple times. The construction process is cumbersome. Due to the construction characteristics of heat-shrinkable materials, the heat-shrinkable terminal materials will have some irregularities or slight burns during installation, which may cause uneven electric field distribution at the cable terminal.

[0007] Disadvantages of the prior art 1:

[0008] During the assembly process of heat-shrinkable cable terminals, the cable sheath, shielding layer, and semiconductor layer need to be stripped off, resulting in an extremely uneven electric field at the cable terminal.

[0009] When the ambient temperature changes suddenly, the expansion and contraction rates of the heat shrink material and the cable are different, which can easily cause a gap between the cable and the cable terminal, leading to accidents.

[0010] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0011] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a high-voltage power cable composite bushing terminal for EMUs, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0012] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0013] The utility model is a composite bushing terminal for high-voltage power cables used in EMUs. The lower part of the cable terminal is provided with a tail pipe 18 through a cable terminal flange 17. The tail pipe 18 is provided with a tightening nut 20, a tightening cone 19, and a sealing rubber sleeve 22 in sequence.

[0014] After the cable passes through the tail tube 18 and the cable terminal flange 17 , the compression nut 20 is tightened so that the compression cone 19 squeezes the sealing rubber sleeve 22 , and the cable terminal is tightly fitted between the sealing rubber sleeve 22 and the cable.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the high-voltage power cable composite bushing terminal for EMUs provided by the utility model can solve the problems of uneven electric field distribution at the cable terminal and can adapt to sudden changes in high and low temperatures and high-speed wind impact vibration.
