[0020] Clearly, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0021] Please refer to the accompanying Figures 1-5 The present application provides a joint which can realize pressure relief in a certain direction and reverse sealing by only installing an O-shaped ring, comprising a male joint and a female joint; the male joint cooperates with the female joint (not shown in the figure) to realize cable butt joint.

[0022] The male joint comprises a fixed head 2 and an assembly head 1; one end of the assembly head 1 is fixedly connected with the fixed head 2, and the other end is used for butt joint with the female joint; the fixed head 2 is internally provided with a through cable fixing through hole 6, the hole diameter of which is smaller than the cable diameter of the cable to be butt jointed, so that the fixed head 2 is in interference fit with the cable, thereby realizing sealing at the cable fixing through hole 6; the assembly head 1 is internally provided with a butt joint cavity 3 for butt joint with the cable at the end of the female joint, and two inwardly recessed sealing grooves 4 are arranged on the outer wall of the assembly head 1 for arranging O-shaped sealing rings. The female joint comprises a butt joint part for cooperating with the assembly head 1 and a fixed part for fixing the cable to be butt jointed. The butt joint part of the female joint is sleeved on the assembly head 1 of the male joint to realize butt joint of the male joint and the female joint, and the O-shaped sealing ring is used for sealing the gap between the female joint and the male joint.

[0023] The inner wall of the sealing groove 4 is arc-shaped, used for abutting the O-shaped sealing ring, comprising a sealing cavity 8 and a pressure relief cavity 7; the sealing cavity 8 and the pressure relief cavity 7 are through, and the connection part is smoothly arranged; the sealing cavity 8 is arranged along the outer end surface of the assembly head 1 in the circumferential direction, is bent to one side of the fixed head 2 at the pressure relief cavity 7, so that the side surface forms a protrusion 5; meanwhile, the middle part of the pressure relief cavity 7 is bent to one side of the fixed head 2, and the bottom part is recessed into the sealing groove 4, as shown in the accompanying Figure 5 The diameter of the bottom part of the pressure relief cavity 7 is smaller than the diameter of the bottom part of the sealing cavity 8. The O-shaped sealing ring is arranged in the sealing cavity 8, and due to the arrangement of the protrusion 5, a part of the O-shaped sealing ring is lifted up, so that the lifted part of the O-shaped sealing ring can slide into the pressure relief cavity 7. After the lifted part of the O-shaped sealing ring slides into the pressure relief cavity 7, a gap is generated between the outer side surface of the O-shaped sealing ring and the inner wall of the female joint, so that water flow can pass through.

[0024] The utility model discloses a working principle is: the cable that needs to butt joint respectively passes through male joint and female joint, and is fixed position through the fixed part of fixed head 2 and female joint, and produces sealing, when the butt joint of joint in water, the sealing groove 4 inside of male joint sets up O type sealing ring, at this time O type sealing ring with convex 5 place to the fixed head 2 side top up a part, when assembling head 1 extends into female joint's butt joint part, the water of excess in butt joint cavity 3 flows outward, and water flow pushes the part of O type sealing ring that is top up and slides into pressure relief chamber 7, make the outside of O type sealing ring and the clearance between female joint's inner wall, and water flow can flow to the outside through the clearance. When water flow stops, and the water pressure of outside is greater than the water pressure in butt joint cavity 3, and the top up part of O type sealing ring is toped back into sealing cavity 8 and is tightly attached to convex 5 by the water pressure of outside, make O type sealing ring seal the clearance between female joint and male joint, thereby realize internal pressure relief and reverse sealing to the outside. Although still contain water in butt joint cavity 3, but male joint and female joint make the water isolation of inside and outside, form the open circuit, namely avoid the risk that cable forms short circuit at the butt joint place due to the reason of leakage.

[0025] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between various embodiments can be referred to each other. For the device disclosed by the embodiments, since it corresponds to the method disclosed by the embodiments, the description is relatively simple, and the related parts can be referred to the method part.
