[0003] Existing flame-retardant terminal sheaths are usually made of flame-retardant plastics. During a fire, the terminal sheath itself may not burn, but when wiring outdoors, the terminal sheath sometimes is in a humid environment. When the terminal is in a humid environment for a long time, the metal inside the terminal is prone to corrosion, reducing the service life of the terminal. Especially on rainy days, the outdoor terminal is extremely prone to water ingress and electric leakage, causing circuit damage.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the flame-retardant terminal sheath to solve the above existing problems. Content of the Utility Model

The end cap squeezes the second sealing ring, and the second sealing ring forms a seal with the outer surface of the cable. The internal insulating desiccant absorbs a small amount of water vapor entering the terminal sheath, so as to keep the inside of the terminal sheath dry, reduce the contact between the terminal and the water vapor, and thus prevent water ingress and electric leakage at the terminal or corrosion due to an overly humid environment.

[0022] The following will detail the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, so as to fully understand how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve the realization process of technical effects and implement accordingly.

[0023] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, the flame-retardant terminal sheath provided in this embodiment includes a left terminal sheath 1 and a right terminal sheath 12. The left terminal sheath 1 includes an end cap 2, an asbestos layer 3, an insulating desiccant 4, and a left housing 5. One end of the left housing 5 is provided with an external thread and the other end is provided with an internal thread. The end of the left housing 5 with the internal thread is threadedly connected to the end cap 2. The inner surface of the end cap 2 is a conical shape that is wider on the outside and narrower on the inside. One side of the inner surface of the left housing 5 near the internal thread is fixedly connected with a baffle 6. A plurality of extrusion teeth 7 are fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle 6 on the side close to the internal thread. The plurality of extrusion teeth 7 are evenly distributed along the inner circle of the baffle 6. A first boss 8 is provided at the top of each of the plurality of extrusion teeth 7. The first boss 8 extends towards the center of the baffle 6. A second sealing ring 9 is provided between the first boss 8, the extrusion tooth 7, and the baffle 6. A wire passing hole 10 is provided at the center of one end surface of the end cap 2. The wire passing hole 10 penetrates through the end cap 2. A second boss 11 is provided at the position of the inner bottom surface 15 of the end cap 2 near the wire passing hole 10. When the end cap 2 is tightened, the second boss 11 squeezes the second sealing ring 9, and the inner surface of the end cap 2 squeezes the outer side of the extrusion tooth 7. The extrusion tooth 7 converges inward to squeeze the second sealing ring 9. The inner surface of the left housing 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the asbestos layer 3. One end of the asbestos layer 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the baffle 6 away from the internal thread. The asbestos layer 3 is filled with an insulating desiccant 4 inside. The right terminal sheath 12 includes an end cap 2, a second sealing ring 9, an asbestos layer 3, and an insulating desiccant 4 that are symmetrically arranged with the left terminal sheath 1. And the right terminal sheath 12 includes a right housing 13. The left housing 5 and the right housing 13 are threadedly connected. A first sealing ring 14 is provided between the end faces of the right housing 13 and the left housing 5. The left terminal sheath 1 and the right terminal sheath 12 are sleeved on the cable. After the cable is connected with a terminal, the left terminal sheath 1 and the right terminal sheath 12 are threadedly connected. After tightening, the end faces of the right housing 13 and the left housing 5 squeeze the first sealing ring 14 to form a seal at the connection of the left terminal sheath 1 and the right terminal sheath 12. The end cap 2 is tightened. The inner end face of the end cap 2 squeezes the second sealing ring 9. At the same time, the extrusion tooth 7 also squeezes the second sealing ring 9. The inner diameter of the second sealing ring 9 is equal to that of the cable. Under the action of the end cap 2 and the extrusion tooth 7, it deforms to form a seal with the outer surface of the cable. The insulating desiccant 4 filled inside the asbestos layer 3 absorbs a small amount of water vapor that enters the inside of the terminal sheath, keeping the inside of the terminal sheath dry, reducing the contact between the terminal and the water vapor, and thus preventing water ingress and leakage at the terminal or corrosion due to excessive humidity in the environment.

[0024] Further, as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the asbestos layer 3 includes a bottom surface 15, an outer sleeve 16, an inner protective net 17, and a partition 18. The bottom surface 15 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the baffle 6, the outer sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the other side of the bottom surface 15. The partitions 18 are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the outer sleeve 16. One side of the partition 18 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the sleeve, and the other side of the partition 18 is fixedly connected to the inner protective net 17. One end of the inner protective net 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface 15, and the other end of the inner protective net 17 is flush with the end face of the left housing 5. A desiccant chamber 19 is formed between two adjacent partitions 18. The desiccant chamber 19 is filled with an insulating desiccant 4. The partitions 18 divide the interior of the asbestos layer 3 into multiple desiccant chambers 19, which facilitates the filling and fixing of the desiccant. The inner protective net 17 protects the desiccant to prevent the terminals from contacting the desiccant and damaging the dryer. Moreover, the inner protective net 17 has multiple mesh holes, which allows the desiccant to adsorb the internal water vapor.

[0025] Furthermore, as Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, the inner diameter of the protective net is greater than the diameter of the wire passing hole 10, and the inner diameter of the second sealing ring 9 is equal to the diameter of the wire passing hole 10. The space inside the protective net is sufficient to accommodate the wiring terminals.

[0026] Among them, as Figure 5 shown, a plurality of water retaining grooves 20 are formed on the inner wall of the second sealing ring 9. The plurality of water retaining grooves 20 all surround the sealing ring for one week, and the plurality of water retaining grooves 20 are axially distributed along the second sealing ring 9. When in an overly humid environment, the water vapor will first enter the water retaining grooves 20, thereby delaying the time for the water vapor to enter the interior.

[0027] Among them, as Figure 1 shown, anti-slip stripes 21 are provided on the outer surfaces of the end cap 2, the left housing 5, and the right housing 13. The anti-slip stripes 21 facilitate the worker to tighten by hand and are convenient for the worker to operate.

[0028] Among them, as Figure 1 shown, the end cap 2, the left housing 5, and the right housing 13 are all made of flame-retardant plastic. When the internal terminals catch fire due to a fault, the housing will not burn, and the flame will go out after the internal air is consumed.

[0029] As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, the principle of the flame-retardant terminal sheath provided in this embodiment is as follows: The left terminal sheath 1 and the right terminal sheath 12 are sleeved on the cable. After the cable is connected with the terminal, the left terminal sheath 1 and the right terminal sheath 12 are connected by threads. After tightening, the end face of the right housing 13 and the left housing 5 squeezes the first sealing ring 14 to form a seal at the connection of the left terminal sheath 1 and the right terminal sheath 12. The end cap 2 is tightened. The inner end face of the end cap 2 squeezes the second sealing ring 9. At the same time, the extrusion tooth 7 also squeezes the second sealing ring 9. The inner diameter of the second sealing ring 9 is equal to that of the cable and deforms under the action of the end cap 2 and the extrusion tooth 7 to form a seal with the outer surface of the cable. Anti-slip stripes 21 are provided on the outer surfaces of the end cap 2, the left housing 5, and the right housing 13. The anti-slip stripes 21 facilitate the worker to tighten by hand, which is convenient for the worker to operate. The insulating desiccant 4 filled in the asbestos layer 3 absorbs a small amount of water vapor entering the inside of the terminal sheath, keeping the inside of the terminal sheath dry, reducing the contact between the terminal and the water vapor, thereby preventing water ingress and leakage at the terminal or corrosion due to excessive humidity in the environment. The partition 18 divides the inside of the asbestos layer 3 into multiple desiccant chambers 19, which facilitates the filling and fixing of the desiccant. The inner protective net 17 protects the desiccant, preventing the terminal from contacting the desiccant and damaging the dryer. Moreover, the inner protective net 17 has multiple mesh holes, enabling the desiccant to adsorb the internal water vapor. The inner diameter of the inner protective net 17 is larger than the diameter of the wire passing hole 10, so that the space inside the protective net is sufficient to accommodate the terminal. Multiple water retaining grooves 20 are provided on the inner wall of the second sealing ring 9. The multiple water retaining grooves 20 all surround the sealing ring for one week, and the multiple water retaining grooves 20 are distributed along the axial direction of the second sealing ring 9. When in an overly humid environment, the water vapor will first enter the water retaining grooves 20, thereby delaying the time for the water vapor to enter the inside. The end cap 2, the left housing 5, and the right housing 13 are all made of flame-retardant plastic. When the internal terminal catches fire due to a fault, the housing will not burn, and the flame will go out after the internal air is consumed.
