[0020] Based on this, in order to improve the technical problem in the related art that the cables cannot be quickly pressed against each other between the connector body and the cables during use when two cables are connected to each other, the embodiment of the present application provides the following solution.

[0021] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present application provides a modular cable accessory metal combination structure, which includes a copper tube 1, a first cable 11, a second cable 12 and a pushing component 2. The first cable 11 and the second cable 12 are both movably arranged on the copper tube 1, and the pushing component 2 is arranged on the copper tube 1.

[0022] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The pushing component 2 includes a metal ring 21, a movable piston 22, a wedge block 23, a connecting shell 24 and a heat-sensitive wax material 26. The metal ring 21 is fixedly arranged on the copper tube 1, the movable piston 22 is slidably arranged on the metal ring 21, the wedge block 23 is movably arranged on the copper tube 1 in an annular array, and the connecting shell 24 is movably sleeved on the movable piston 22. The wedge block 23 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting shell 24. The ends of the two movable pistons 22 away from each other are provided with a tapered groove 221, and the wedge-shaped The block 23 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the tapered groove 221, and an orienting plate 25 is provided at the joint between the tapered groove 221 of the movable piston 22 and the wedge-shaped block 23. A circular ring protrusion 241 is provided on the inner wall of the connecting shell 24. A accommodating cavity 27 is formed by the metal ring 21, the movable piston 22 and the circular ring protrusion 241 of the connecting shell 24. The heat-sensitive wax material 26 is provided in the accommodating cavity 27. A heating ring 3 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting shell 24 at a position corresponding to the position of the accommodating cavity 27. The connecting shell 24 is mainly made of steel.

[0023] With such an arrangement, in the process of promoting the mutual compression between the first cable 11 and the second cable 12 and the copper tube 1 by using the modular cable accessory metal combination structure, the connecting shell 24 is heated by the heating ring 3, so that the connecting shell 24 and the corresponding external portion of the accommodating groove are evenly heated. The connecting shell 24 is made of steel material, which can better conduct heat, so that the heat-sensitive wax material 26 in the accommodating cavity 27 is heated from solid to liquid, so that the volume expansion can reach 13% to 15%, and the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, pushing the movable piston 22 to move in the direction of the wedge block 23, so that the tapered groove 221 of the movable piston 22 squeezes the wedge block 23, thereby prompting the wedge block 23 to squeeze the copper tube 1, and a directional plate 25 is provided at the contact point between the tapered groove 221 of the movable piston 22 and the wedge block 23 to ensure the moving trajectory of the wedge block 23 and prevent the wedge block 23 from deflecting, thereby prompting the wedge block 23 to better extrude and compress the copper tube 1. In this way, only the steel connection shell 24 is heated, and the operation process is simple and easy. The steel has good thermal conductivity and can quickly transfer heat to the thermosensitive wax material 26 in the accommodating cavity 27, causing it to quickly change from solid to liquid and expand. No complex mechanical tools or equipment are required, which reduces the complexity of installation and maintenance and reduces the requirements for the operator's skill level. A directional plate 25 is provided at the junction of the tapered groove 221 of the moving piston 22 and the wedge block 23 to ensure the moving trajectory of the wedge block 23 and prevent the wedge block 23 from shifting during the extrusion process. This design improves the stability and reliability of the structure, ensures that the pressing force is evenly distributed, and avoids local stress concentration. The mechanical energy generated by the expansion of the thermosensitive wax material 26 can be efficiently converted into a pressing force on the copper tube 1, ensuring a tight connection between the cable and the copper tube 1, reducing contact resistance and improving electrical performance. Due to the simple operation process, installation errors caused by improper human operation are reduced, and the overall safety of the system is improved. At the same time, the steel material has good weather resistance and can maintain its performance under different environmental conditions, making it suitable for use outdoors or in harsh environments.

[0024] The implementation principle of a modular cable accessory metal composite structure in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: in the process of promoting mutual compression between the first cable 11 and the second cable 12 and the copper tube 1 by using the modular cable accessory metal composite structure, the connecting shell 24 is heated by the heating ring 3, so that the connecting shell 24 and the corresponding portion outside the accommodating groove are evenly heated. The connecting shell 24 is made of steel material, which can better conduct heat, so that the heat-sensitive wax material 26 in the accommodating cavity 27 is heated from solid to liquid, so that the volume expansion can reach 13% to 15%, and the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy to push the movable piston 22 to move in the direction of the wedge block 23, so that the tapered groove 221 of the movable piston 22 squeezes the wedge block 23, thereby prompting the wedge block 23 to squeeze the copper tube 1. A directional plate 25 is provided at the contact point between the tapered groove 221 of the movable piston 22 and the wedge block 23 to ensure the moving trajectory of the wedge block 23 and prevent the wedge block 23 from deflecting, thereby prompting the wedge block 23 to better extrude and compress the copper tube 1.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
