This embodiment provides a mining embedded cable connector, which includes a plug body 6 and a socket body 4 sleeved on the outer wall of the plug body 6. The plug body 6 is provided with a wiring assembly 5 for connecting the circuit. The plug body 6 includes a plug sleeve 601 and a plug mating end 602 fixedly connected. The socket body 4 includes a socket sleeve 401 sleeved on the plug sleeve 601 and fixedly connected to it and a socket mating end 402. The socket mating end 402 and the plug mating end 602 are detachably connected.

[0023] The plug body 6 and the socket body 4 are connected by a plug-in method, which greatly reduces the length of the cable connector. One end of the plug body 6 has a cavity for placing the sealing ring 7. The socket mating end 402 and the plug mating end 602 are both provided with corresponding threaded holes and are fixed by bolts.

[0024] The wiring assembly 5 includes several pairs of plug-in socket contacts 502 and plug contacts 503. A second insulating shell 501 is fitted on the socket contacts 502 and plug contacts 503. One end of the plug contact 503 is connected to a pressure sleeve 504 and a pressure plate 505 for pressing the plug contact 503. The second insulating shell 501 has several through holes for fixing the socket contacts 502 and plug contacts 503. The number and position of the through holes correspond to the socket contacts 502 and plug contacts 503. Several grounding wires are provided on one side of the pressure plate 505.

[0025] There are four pairs of socket contacts 502 and plug contacts 503. The first insulating shell 2 has a through hole at both ends. When the first insulating shell 2 is connected to the second insulating shell 501, the socket contacts 502 are inserted into the through hole. The cover 1 is provided with a hollow plug. When the cover 1 is connected to the first insulating shell 2, the hollow plug is inserted from the other end of the through hole and contacts the socket contacts 502 to press the socket contacts 502.

[0026] One end of the socket contact 502 is inserted into the first insulating shell 2, and one end of the first insulating shell 2 is pressed and fixed by the pressure cover 1; the plug mating end 602 is provided with a sealing ring 7, and a retaining ring 9 is connected to one side of the sealing ring 7 through a washer 8.

The base 3 and the socket body 4 are fixedly connected by welding to improve stability and facilitate connection with related equipment.

[0028] Working principle: First, several socket contacts 502 and plug contacts 503 are inserted into each other. Then, they are inserted into the through holes of the second insulating shell 501 in sequence. Next, the pressure sleeve 504 is inserted in sequence, and then the pressure plate 505 is used to press them together, thus completing the installation of the wiring assembly 5. Then, the wiring assembly 5 is placed into the plug body 6 as a whole. The first insulating shell 2 and the second insulating shell 501 are inserted into each other. Then, the socket body 4 is fitted onto the plug body 6 and fixed by bolts through the threaded holes on the socket mating end 402 and the plug mating end 602. Then, the first insulating shell 2 is pressed by the pressure cover 1. Then, the sealing ring 7 and the washer 8 are inserted into the other end of the plug body 6 in sequence. Finally, the retaining ring 9 is used to press and fix it.

[0029] The advantages of this application over the prior art are as follows: By connecting the socket body 4 and the plug body 6 through a plug-in connection, and then fixing the socket mating end 402 and the plug mating end 602, the overall length of the cable connector is shortened, thereby reducing its space occupation and improving the working efficiency of miners; by setting the wiring assembly 5 inside the plug body 6, and then using the first insulating shell 2, the second insulating shell 501 and the pressure plate 505 to press the wiring assembly 5, the cable connector has sufficient insulation performance while shortening its length.
