Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cable systems, and particularly relates to a cable terminal and a cable system. Background Art

[0002] Figure 1 Shown is an oil-filled cable terminal in the related art. The sealing method at the tail of the stress cone 200 inside it is to wind a sealing member (usually a strip) between the stress cone 200 and the base 300 for sealing.

[0038] Combined with Figure 2 And Figure 3 , A cable system provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a cable terminal and a cable 10. The cable terminal is used to be arranged at the end of the cable 10 and is used to improve the electric field at the end of the cable 10.

[0039] The cable terminal includes a bushing 100, a stress cone 200, a base 300, and a sealing assembly 500.

[0040] The sleeve 100 has a hollow structure inside.

[0041] The stress cone 200 is disposed inside the sleeve 100. Specifically, the stress cone 200 is coaxially arranged with the sleeve 100. Of course, there may be a certain error in the coaxiality between the stress cone 200 and the sleeve 100.

[0042] Furthermore, the stress cone 200 is a hollow structure. Specifically, the stress cone 200 is provided with a first cable passing channel 201. The first cable passing channel 201 extends along the axial direction of the stress cone 200, and the first cable passing channel 201 is used for the cable 10 to pass through.

[0043] The base 300 includes a first connecting portion 310 and a second connecting portion 320 connected to the bottom end of the first connecting portion 310. The first connecting portion 310 is disposed inside the sleeve 100 and connected to the bottom of the stress cone 200. The first connecting portion 310 is provided with a second cable passing channel 311 communicating with the first cable passing channel 201. An oil storage gap 400 is formed between the outer side wall of the first connecting portion 310 and the inner side wall of the sleeve 100, and between the outer wall side of the stress cone 200 and the inner side wall of the sleeve 100. The second connecting portion 320 extends out from the bottom end of the sleeve 100 and is hermetically connected to the bottom end of the sleeve 100.

[0044] Specifically, the first connecting portion 310 is a cylindrical shape provided with the second cable passing channel 311, and the first connecting portion 310 is connected below the stress cone 200. The first connecting portion 310 is coaxially arranged with the stress cone 200, and the second cable passing channel 311 is communicated with the first cable passing channel 201. Among them, the second cable passing channel 311 is used for the cable 10 to pass through; the second connecting portion 320 is connected to the bottom end of the first connecting portion 310, and the second connecting portion 320 extends radially along the first connecting portion 310. The second connecting portion 320 seals the bottom end of the oil storage gap 400, and the second connecting portion 320 is connected to the bottom end of the sleeve 100.

[0045] It can be understood that the base 300 can support the stress cone 200, connect the stress cone 200 with the sleeve 100, and the base 300 also functions to seal the bottom end of the oil storage gap 400. Among them, the oil storage gap 400 is used to store the insulating oil 410.

[0046] The sealing assembly 500 is disposed inside the second cable passing channel 311.

[0047] It can be understood that the cable 10 can be successively passed through the second cable passing channel 311 and the first cable passing channel 201. If the insulating oil 410 in the oil storage gap 400 leaks, then the insulating oil 410 may enter the gap between the inner wall of the first connecting portion 310 and the outer wall of the cable 10 from the docking portion of the first connecting portion 310 and the stress cone 200. By arranging the sealing assembly 500 in the second cable passing channel 311, the sealing assembly 500 can seal the gap between the inner wall of the first connecting portion 310 and the outer wall of the cable 10, thereby achieving the purpose of sealing and preventing oil leakage.

[0048] As Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, a supporting portion 312 is provided on the inner wall of the first connecting portion 310, and the sealing assembly 500 is supported by the supporting portion 312.

[0049] It can be understood that the supporting portion 312 is used to support and position the sealing assembly 500 to prevent the sealing assembly 500 from moving downward.

[0050] Specifically, the supporting portion 312 is integrally connected to the first connecting portion 310, and the supporting portion 312 is in a ring structure. The sealing assembly 500 is arranged on the supporting portion 312, and the sealing assembly 500 is also in a ring structure as a whole. The supporting portion 312 does not hinder the cable 10 from passing through the second cable passing channel 311 and extending into the first cable passing channel 201. The sealing assembly 500 is arranged to surround the cable 10 and seals the gap between the inner wall of the first connecting portion 310 and the outer wall of the cable 10.

[0051] Combined Figure 3 with Figure 4 , further, the sealing assembly 500 includes a first sealing ring 510 arranged on the supporting portion 312 and a pressing unit 520 pressing on the side of the first sealing ring 510 away from the supporting portion 312.

[0052] It can be understood that in the sealing assembly 500, the first sealing ring 510 mainly plays a sealing role. The supporting portion 312 is used to support the first sealing ring 510. The pressing unit 520 presses on the side of the first sealing ring 510 away from the supporting portion 312 and is used to position the first sealing ring 510 to prevent the first sealing ring 510 from moving axially.

[0053] It should be noted that the first sealing ring 510 is an elastic member. The outer edge of the lower end of the first sealing ring 510 has a first conical surface 511, and the outer edge of the upper end of the first sealing ring 510 has a second conical surface 512; further, the upper side surface of the supporting portion 312 has a third conical surface 3121, the third conical surface 3121 fits with the first conical surface 511, and the pressing unit 520 has a fourth conical surface 5211, and the fourth conical surface 5211 fits with the second conical surface 512.

[0054] It can be understood that under the extrusion of the pressing unit 520, the first sealing ring 510 will be compressed and protrude towards the cable 10. The greater the pressure applied by the pressing unit 520 to the first sealing ring 510, the tighter the cooperation between the first sealing ring 510 and the cable 10, and the better the sealing effect.

[0055] Specifically, the pressing unit 520 is threadedly connected to the first connecting portion 310, and the pressing unit 520 is operably movable along the axial direction of the first connecting portion 310.

[0056] It can be understood that the threaded connection between the pressing unit 520 and the first connecting portion 310 can fix the pressing unit 520 and the first connecting portion 310. In addition, by rotating the pressing unit 520, the pressure between the first sealing ring 510 and the cable 10 can be adjusted.

[0057] Specifically, the pressing unit 520 includes a pressing ring 521 pressing on one side of the first sealing ring 510 away from the supporting portion 312, and a tightening ring 522 pressing on the pressing ring 521. The tightening ring 522 is threadedly connected to the first connecting portion 310, and the tightening ring 522 is operably movable along the axial direction of the first connecting portion 310.

[0058] Specifically, the outer side wall of the tightening ring 522 has a threaded structure, and the inner side wall of the first connecting portion 310 has a threaded structure. The threaded structure on the tightening ring 522 is in threaded cooperation with the threaded structure on the first connecting portion 310.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the bottom end of the stress cone 200 is sleeved outside the first connecting portion 310, and the bottom end of the stress cone 200 is in interference fit with the first connecting portion 310. In this way, on the one hand, the stress cone 200 and the first connecting portion 310 can be fastened, and the sealing performance of the docking portion between the bottom end of the stress cone 200 and the top end of the first connecting portion 310 can also be improved.

[0060] In some embodiments, a seal 600 is disposed in the oil storage gap 400. The seal 600 seals the connection between the first connecting portion 310 and the stress cone 200, and the seal 600 is spaced from the inner side wall of the sleeve 100.

[0061] It can be understood that the seal 600 is spaced from the inner side wall of the sleeve 100 and will not block the oil storage gap 400. The seal 600 can also improve the sealing performance of the docking portion between the bottom end of the stress cone 200 and the top end of the first connecting portion 310. Among them, the seal 600 can be a sealing tape wound around the docking portion between the bottom end of the stress cone 200 and the top end of the first connecting portion 310.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in some embodiments, a second sealing ring 700 is provided at the bottom end of the second connecting portion 320 and the sleeve 100. The second sealing ring 700 can prevent the insulating oil 410 in the oil storage gap 400 from leaking through the gap between the bottom end of the sleeve 100 and the second connecting portion 320 directly.

[0063] In the cable system of the present utility model, the cable 10 can sequentially pass through the second cable passing channel 311 and the first cable passing channel 201. If the insulating oil 410 in the oil storage gap 400 leaks, then the insulating oil 410 may enter the gap between the inner wall of the first connecting portion 310 and the outer wall of the cable 10 from the butt joint of the first connecting portion 310 and the stress cone 200. By arranging the sealing assembly 500 in the second cable passing channel 311, the sealing assembly 500 can seal the gap between the inner wall of the first connecting portion 310 and the outer wall of the cable 10, thereby achieving the purpose of sealing and preventing oil leakage.
