[0003] Cable outdoor terminals are essential components in fields such as power, communications, transportation, and construction. Their performance is directly linked to the safe and stable operation of the entire system. In power systems, cable outdoor terminals are widely used at the terminal connections of high-voltage, medium-voltage, and low-voltage cables. They fulfill the crucial role of protecting cable terminals, improving insulation performance, and ensuring safe power transmission. Furthermore, in communications networks, cable outdoor terminals are used to connect optical and electrical cables, ensuring the stable transmission of communication signals. Furthermore, transportation facilities such as traffic lights, streetlights, subways, and railways, as well as the electrical systems of buildings, all rely on cable outdoor terminals.
[0004] However, although the existing cable outdoor terminals have met the use requirements to a certain extent, their structures still have the following major defects. Among them, the stability of the installation connection structure of some existing cable outdoor terminals when connecting cables is poor, resulting in insufficient installation insulation strength and easy loosening after long-term use, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements and increases the operation risk of the cable system. The cable outdoor terminals cannot effectively prevent and isolate the intrusion of external pollutants such as moisture and dust, resulting in a decrease in the internal insulation performance of the cable and even causing failures, thereby affecting use. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.
[0025] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-4 The specifically implemented cold-shrink cable outdoor terminal includes an insulating tube 1 and a stress cone 2 arranged in the insulating tube 1. The insulating tube 1 is a hollow tube structure. A sleeve hole 3 is provided inside the insulating tube 1. The stress cone 2 is installed in the sleeve hole 3 in pair. A detachable support tube 17 is sleeved in the sleeve hole 3. The outer surface of the insulating tube 1 is provided with nine umbrella skirts 4. The upper surface of the umbrella skirt 4 is inclined and forms an inclined angle 5 with the outer surface of the insulating tube 1. The outer surface of the insulating tube 1 is formed with eight raised reinforcement ribs 6, and the reinforcement ribs 6 are correspondingly distributed between the two umbrella skirts 4. One end of the insulating tube 1 is provided with a connecting end 7 for connecting an external terminal, and the other end of the insulating tube 1 is provided with a mounting end 8 for connecting a cable. The outer surface of the connecting end 7 is formed with a sealing protrusion 9, which is distributed around the outer surface of the connecting end 7. The outer surface of the mounting end 8 is formed with a reinforcement protrusion 10, which is distributed around the outer surface of the mounting end 8.
[0026] A mounting groove 11 for receiving the stress cone 2 is formed inside the sleeve hole 3 near the mounting end 8. The stress cone 2 is embedded in the mounting groove 11. A conductive through hole 12 is formed inside the stress cone 2. The inner diameter of the through hole 12 matches the inner diameter of the sleeve hole 3. The matching arrangement of the through hole 12 and the sleeve hole 3 facilitates the connection of the cable.
[0027] Nine sheds 4 are provided, spaced axially along the outer surface of the insulating tube 1. This increases the effective creepage distance and improves anti-fouling performance. Eight reinforcing ribs 6 are arranged circumferentially along the outer surface of the insulating tube 1, spaced axially along the outer surface, and positioned between corresponding sheds 4. These ribs improve the stability and reliability of the insulating tube 1 connection. When the socket hole 3 is expanded and connected, the ribs enhance the tensioning seal, improving the sealing and secureness of the connection.
[0028] The sheds 4 are primarily divided into two sections. The six sheds 4 in the first section, located near the connection end 7, form an angle 5 of 98 degrees between their upper surfaces and the outer surface of the insulating tube 1. The three sheds 4 in the second section, located near the mounting end 8, form an angle 5 of 107 degrees between their upper surfaces and the outer surface of the insulating tube 1. This angle 5 effectively improves resistance to ice and snow adhesion, reduces dust adhesion, and facilitates cleaning.
[0029] Three sealing protrusions 9 are formed on the outer surface of the connection end 7, spaced evenly apart along the axial direction of the connection end 7. A first sealing groove 13 is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve hole 3 near the connection end 7, and a first sealing ring 14 is sleeved within the first sealing groove 13. The provision of these sealing protrusions 9 increases the contact area when connecting to the external terminal gland and improves the stability of the connection, preventing the connection end 7 from falling off due to its flat outer surface. The provision of the first sealing end further enhances the sealing of the sleeve hole 3, reducing the intrusion of external dust or liquids and improving the sealing and insulation performance of the interior of the sleeve hole 3.
[0030] Three reinforcement protrusions 10 are formed on the outer surface of the mounting end 8, spaced evenly apart along the axial direction of the mounting end 8. A second sealing groove 15 is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve hole 3 near the mounting end 8, and a second sealing ring 16 is inserted into the second sealing groove 15. The reinforcement protrusions 10 improve the retraction of the insulating tube 1 after expansion, thereby further enhancing the cable wrapping strength and sealing performance. The second sealing ring 16 also improves the sealing and insulation performance of the sleeve hole 3.
[0031] The insulating tube 1, shed 4, reinforcing ribs 6, sealing protrusions 9, and reinforcing protrusions 10 are integrally molded using liquid silicone injection molding. This integrated molding enhances waterproofing and dustproofing, ensures product airtightness, and effectively guarantees the stability and reliability of physical and electrical properties.
[0032] The outdoor terminal in this embodiment is mainly suitable for connecting the insulation shield of 35KV high-voltage power cables. Specifically, it is suitable for improving the pollution resistance, plateau weather resistance and strength in extreme environments such as plateaus and high altitudes, and effectively improving the safety and stability of power transmission.
[0033] Specific installation implementation process: the insulating tube 1 is expanded through the socket hole 3 and is socketed on the support tube 17, so that when its outdoor terminal is connected to the cable, the hollow support tube 17 is socketed with the external cable. At this time, the support tube 17 is pulled out and disassembled from the installation end 8 of the insulating tube 1, so that the insulating tube 1 rebounds and resets, so that its socket hole 3 is socketed on the corresponding cable and wrapped with the outer surface of the cable, so that it completes the insulation protection of the cable connection, makes the support tube 17 easy to disassemble and withdraw, and is convenient for construction.
[0034] The specific structure of this embodiment is as follows: the raised reinforcing ribs 6 on the outer surface of the insulating tube 1 can enhance the strength of the insulating tube 1 and improve its resistance to external forces and extrusion. At the same time, each reinforcing rib 6 is distributed between the two sheds 4, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the insulating tube 1, and improving the installation tension strength when the socket hole 3 is connected to an external component. The sealing protrusion 9 on the outer surface of the connecting end 7 provides a good sealing effect for the terminal sealing tube connected to the external terminal, reducing the intrusion of moisture and dust into the socket hole 3, ensuring the stability and security of the connection. The inclined design of the upper surface of the shed 4 enhances its anti-adhesion and anti-fouling capabilities, making it easier for dirt to slide off, reducing moisture accumulation and dirt accumulation, improving the weather resistance and self-cleaning properties of the outdoor terminal, and ensuring long-term stable electrical performance. The reinforcing protrusion 10 on the outer surface of the mounting end 8 strengthens the connection with the external cable when connected, reduces the risk of loosening or falling off due to cable tension or external forces, and enhances the sealing when connected to the external terminal, improving the stability and reliability of the installation, and improving its practicality.
