[0023] With the country's continued strengthening of power transmission and distribution network construction, the construction of high-voltage transmission lines has become a key development direction for the power industry. Currently, my country is vigorously constructing transmission lines with voltage levels of 110kV, 220kV, 500kV, and even higher. The construction of these lines presents numerous challenges in the design and application of cable terminals. Testing and maintenance of cable terminals are particularly challenging in humid or rainy environments. The lack of effective moisture-proofing measures often makes it difficult to ensure test accuracy and equipment safety.

[0024] This utility model proposes a cable terminal test tool. Figure 1 The cable terminal test tool includes a shell 1, which is used to install the cable terminal 2, and also includes a rain cap 3, which is arranged on the top of the shell 1. The side wall of the rain cap 3 is provided with an exhaust hole 3a for leading out the high-voltage lead 21, and the bottom of the rain cap 3 is an opening structure; a gas pipe 4, one end of which is connected to the shell 1, is used to transport gas to the inside of the shell 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the shell 1 is made of an insulating material, and optionally, PE, PP, PVE, PVP or other insulating materials can be used. The shell 1 is a cylindrical structure, and its top, side walls and bottom enclose a accommodating space. The cable terminal 2 is installed in the accommodating space and isolated from the external humid air or rainwater to prevent rainy days or humid environments from interfering with the test of the cable terminal 2. An air inlet is provided on the side wall of the shell 1, and one end of the air pipe 4 is connected to the air inlet and the other end is connected to the drying device. The drying device can continuously supply dry gas to the accommodating space through the air pipe 4, so that the humid gas inside the shell 1 is quickly discharged, thereby achieving rapid drying of the cable terminal 2 and its surrounding environment, and ensuring that the cable terminal 2 is always in a dry test environment. A rain cap 3 is provided on the top of the shell 1. The upper end of the rain cap 3 is a closed structure and the lower end has an open structure, which effectively prevents rainwater from entering the accommodating space from above the shell 1. Optionally, the rain cap 3 can be a cylindrical structure or a frustum structure. A vent 3a is formed in the side wall of the rain cap 3. The cable terminal 2 has a high-voltage lead 21, which extends out of the cable terminal test fixture through the vent 3a. Simultaneously, when the drying device delivers dry air into the interior of the housing 1, moist air within the housing 1 is discharged outward through the vent 3a.

[0026] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The shell 1 is assembled from a base 11, a support 12, at least one connecting section 13 and a top cover 14.

[0027] In this embodiment, the shell 1 is assembled from bottom to top by a base 11, a support 12, at least one connecting section 13 and a top cover 14. The base 11 is used to support and fix the upper support 12, and the base 11 can be set as a circular or square structure. The base 11 and the support 12 can be set as an integrated structure or separately. The support 12 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the top and bottom of the support 12 are both open, and the bottom of the support 12 is fixedly connected to the base 11. The shell 1 has at least one connecting section 13, and the connecting section 13 is arranged between the top cover 14 and the support 12. Different numbers of connecting sections 13 are connected in series to adapt to different height requirements of the shell 1, and the size of the shell 1 can be changed and adjusted according to the height requirements of different types of cable terminals in actual use. At the same time, this multi-section assembled shell 1 structure is convenient for disassembly and transportation in actual use.

[0028] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The upper end of the connecting section 13 has a protrusion 13a and the lower end has a slot 13b. The protrusion 13a and the slot 13b match each other, and adjacent connecting sections 13 are connected by the protrusion 13a and the slot 13b.

[0029] Specifically, the side of the support 12 facing the connecting section 13 has a support protrusion that matches the slot 13b of the connecting section 13, and the side of the top cover 14 facing the connecting section 13 has a top cover slot that matches the protrusion 13a of the connecting section 13. Adjacent connecting sections 13 are connected by the matching protrusions 13a and slots 13b. The connecting section 13 adjacent to the support 12 is secured to the support 12 by the slot 13b and the support protrusion. The connecting section 13 adjacent to the top cover 14 is secured to the connecting section 13 by the protrusion 13a and the top cover slot.

[0030] This utility model proposes an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The protrusion 13 a is arranged on one side of the top end of the connecting section 13 close to the cable terminal 2 .

[0031] Specifically, the top of the connecting section 13 has a continuously arranged protrusion 13a, and the protrusion 13a is surrounded to form a hollow cylindrical structure. The protrusion 13a is arranged on the side of the top of the connecting section 13 close to the accommodating space. The card slot 13b is provided in conjunction with the protrusion 13a. The protrusion 13a and the card slot 13b are engaged with each other to form a snap-fit surface, and the side of the snap-fit surface close to the accommodating space is higher than the side of the snap-fit surface away from the accommodating space. It can be understood that the snap-fit surface of the support 12 and the connecting section 13, the snap-fit surface of the top cover 14 and the connecting section 13, and the snap-fit surface of the connecting section 13 and the connecting section 13 are all higher on the side close to the accommodating space than on the side away from the accommodating space. This prevents rainwater from entering the accommodating space through the assembly snap-fit of the shell 1.

[0032] This utility model proposes an embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The base 11 is provided with a fixing opening 1b for installing the cable terminal 2.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom end of the cable terminal 2 has a terminal base, onto which a base 11 is mounted. Base 11 defines a fixing opening 1b, which fits around the outer perimeter of the cable terminal 2. The size of the fixing opening 1b matches the outer perimeter of the cable terminal 2. Preferably, a seal is provided at the fixing opening 1b to prevent moisture from entering the housing through the fixing opening 1b.

[0034] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The top cover 14 has an opening 1a, which is connected to the interior of the rain cap 3.

[0035] Specifically, top cover 14 has an opening 1a, and the bottom of rain cap 3 is open. High-voltage lead 21 extends from the accommodating space through opening 1a into rain cap 3 and then exits through vent 3a. When drying the interior of the cable terminal test fixture, gas enters the accommodating space through gas pipe 4, drying the cable terminal 2. The moist gas flows through opening 1a into rain cap 3 and is then discharged through vent 3a.

[0036] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The gas introduced into the gas pipe 4 is dry air or insulating gas. Preferably, the gas can be heated and then transported to the accommodating space to improve the drying efficiency of the internal environment of the test tooling.
