[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figure 1-Figure 3, a fireproof connection assembly for fireproof cables, including a fireproof tube 1, the fireproof tube 1 is a cavity structure with open ends, an annular pad 2 is placed in the ports on both sides of the fireproof tube 1, the hole in the center of the annular pad 2 is connected to the fireproof tube 1, and the end cover of the fireproof tube 1 is provided with an end cover 5. When the end cover 5 is closed, the annular pad 2 is located in the end cover 5 and is covered by the end cover 5. At the same time, the end face of the end cover 5 is also provided with a through hole 51 for the cable to pass through, and the through hole 51 is opposite to the hole in the center of the annular pad 2. An inner concave cavity 21 is provided on the end surface away from the fireproof cylinder 1, which is a space for placing fireproof putty. A boss 52 surrounding the through-hole 51 is provided in the end cover 5. When the end cover 5 is installed, the boss 52 is inserted into the inner concave cavity 21 of the annular seat 2 to squeeze the fireproof putty around the cable and seal the through-hole 51. There is no need to squeeze fireproof putty into the through-hole 51 from the outside, nor is there any need to coat the cable with putty in advance. The above operation can be automatically completed when the end cover 5 is assembled and installed.

[0025] A connection terminal 6 (using existing technology) is placed in the fireproof tube 1. Two sets of conductive clamps 61 are provided on the connection terminal 6. The conductive clamps 61 are fixed to the connection terminal 6 by bolts. The two sets of conductive clamps 61 are connected by conductive metal. When in use, the end harness of the cable is placed on the connection terminal 6 and pressed by the conductive clamps 61. By tightening the bolts, the conductive clamps 61 press the harness tightly against the connection terminal 6. The two sets of conductive clamps 61 are used to fix and conduct the ends of the two sets of cables.

[0026] Before use, separate the end cover 5, the annular pad 2 and the fire tube 1, and take out the connecting terminal 6. Pass one group of cables through the through-holes 51 on the end cover 5 on the corresponding side and the holes on the annular pad 2, and pass the other group of cables through the through-holes 51 on the end cover 5 on the corresponding other side and the holes on the annular pad 2. Then, pass the two groups of cables through the fire tube 1 and fix the ends of the two groups of cables on the connecting terminal 6. After placing the connecting terminal 6 into the fire tube 1, install the two groups of annular pads 2 on the two side ports of the fire tube 1 respectively, and then put fireproof putty in the inner concave cavity 21 of each group of annular pads 2 respectively, and then cover the end cover 5 to the port of the fire tube 1, cover the annular pad 2, and squeeze the fireproof putty in the inner concave cavity 21 to surround the cable and seal the through-hole 51.

[0027] See also Figure 3-Figure 5, a fireproof connection component for fireproof cables, a movable cylinder 3 is installed slidingly through the hole of the annular cushion 2, the inner diameter of the through-hole 51 and the movable cylinder 3 is larger than the diameter of the cable, which is convenient for the smooth passage of the cable, and the end of the movable cylinder 3 located in the fireproof cylinder 1 is fixed with a top pad, and a spring 4 is connected between the top pad and the annular cushion 2. The tension of the spring 4 is used to make the outer end of the movable cylinder 3 extend out of the hole to extend into the inner concave cavity 21 and close to the end face of the inner concave cavity 21 before the end cover 5 is covered. At this time, an annular chamber is formed between the movable cylinder 3 and the inner concave cavity 21 of the annular cushion 2, and the annular chamber is used to place fireproof putty to prevent the fireproof putty from adhering to the cable before the end cover 5 is closed, affecting the smoothness of cable movement;

[0028] The inner wall of the end cover 5 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the port of the fireproof cylinder 1, and a convex pin 53 is fixed on the end face of one side of the boss 52 inserted into the inner concave cavity 21. There are multiple groups of convex pins 53 distributed around the through-hole 51, and the convex pins 53 contact the outer end face of the movable cylinder 3 during the process of tightening the end cover 5 on the fireproof cylinder 1, and as the end cover 5 is screwed closer, the convex pin 53 pushes the movable cylinder 3 inward to stretch the spring 4. At this time, the fireproof putty placed in the annular chamber is squeezed out from the gap between the convex pins 53 by the boss 52 and enters the through-hole 51 and the movable cylinder 3, sealing the through-hole 51 and the movable cylinder 3 and wrapping the cable. As the fireproof putty dries, on the one hand, the fireproof performance of the cable connection is increased, and on the other hand, a certain degree of waterproof sealing is achieved.

[0029] See also Figure 3-Figure 4 , a fireproof connection component for fireproof cables, an external threaded sleeve 22 is fixed on the side of the annular pad 2 close to the fireproof cylinder 1, the outer wall of the external threaded sleeve 22 is connected to the inner wall of the port of the fireproof cylinder 1 through a thread, and the inner diameter of the external threaded sleeve 22 is larger than the aperture of the hole in the center of the annular pad 2.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
