[0040] Furthermore, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] A pluggable cable connector connected to an EVT includes a cable connector 10, an arc extinguishing device 20 connected to the cable connector 10, and a voltage sensing device 30 detachably connected to the bottom of the cable connector 10.

[0042] An adjustable operating device 11 is provided on the outer wall of the cable connector 10. The operating device 11 includes a fixing mechanism 111 and an adjusting mechanism 112. An operating band 113 is connected between the fixing mechanism 111 and the adjusting mechanism 112. Specifically, one end of the operating band 113 is connected to the fixing mechanism 111, and the other end is connected to the adjusting mechanism 112. The adjusting mechanism 112 includes a base 1121 and an adjusting component 1122 slidably connected to the base 1121. Baffles 1123 are provided on both opposite ends of the base 1121 to prevent the adjusting component 1122 from falling off the base 1121 during sliding. Here, the cooperation between the fixing mechanism 111, the adjusting mechanism 112, and the operating band 113 allows for the adaptation to insulating rods of different diameters or specifications. The cable connector 10 is inserted or removed by the cooperation of the operating device 11 with the insulating rod, thereby realizing the switching of the cable connector 10 with the power supply.

[0043] The top of the adjusting assembly 1122 is provided with a mounting groove 1122A and a detachable positioning piece 1122B. One end of the operating band 113 is located inside the mounting groove 1122A and is pressed against the end by the positioning piece 1122B. Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting groove 1122A is provided with a threaded fixing hole, and the positioning piece 1122B is provided with a fixing through hole. The threaded fixing hole and the fixing through hole correspond to each other. After one end of the operating band 113 is placed inside the mounting groove 1122A, the positioning piece 1122B presses against the end of the operating band 113. Then, the self-tapping screws are engaged with the threaded fixing hole and the fixing through hole respectively, and pierce through the operating band 113 to realize the connection between the adjusting mechanism 112 and the end of the operating band 113.

[0044] A voltage testing device 12 is also provided on the outer wall of the cable connector 10. A shielding cap 121 is fitted over the voltage testing device 12 to enable voltage testing of the cable connector 10 under normal operating conditions. When voltage testing is not performed, the shielding cap 121 provides full shielding of the cable connector 10. It should be noted that the voltage testing device 12 is made of conductive nylon, which has excellent conductivity, allowing voltage testing to be performed while the equipment is running. Here, the cable connector 10 is manufactured using a three-layer injection molding process combining injection molding and mold injection, effectively reducing interlayer gaps and minimizing the probability of partial discharge.

[0045] The cable connector 10 consists of an inner shielding layer 13, an insulation layer 14, and an outer shielding layer 15 from the inside out. A limiting tube 16 is provided between the inner shielding layers 13 near the arc extinguishing device 20. The limiting tube 16 cooperates with the arc extinguishing device 20 to achieve correct positioning and installation of the arc extinguishing device 20 and prevent misalignment. It should be noted that the inner shielding layer 13 is made of soft silicone insulating material, and the limiting tube 16 is made of aluminum.

[0046] The arc-extinguishing device 20 includes a conductive rod 21, an arc-extinguishing head 22 connected to the conductive rod 21, and an insert 23 embedded inside the conductive rod 21 and the arc-extinguishing head 22. The conductive rod 21, the arc-extinguishing head 22, and the insert 23 are riveted together. It should be noted that the conductive rod 21 is made of T2 copper, and the arc-extinguishing head 22 is made of POM plastic (polyoxymethylene resin), which has a good arc-extinguishing effect. Here, the arc-extinguishing device 20 is set up to enable the installation or removal of the cable connector 10 under load.

[0047] The voltage sensing device 30 is connected to the bottom of the cable connector 10 for measuring high voltage, thereby providing the power grid voltage signal value to the power automation system. The voltage sensing device 30 includes a housing 31, a shielding mechanism 32 connected inside the housing 31, and a voltage sensing mechanism 33 connected to the shielding mechanism 32. The housing 31 includes a primary housing 311, a secondary housing 312, and a bottom cover 313. The primary housing 311 and the secondary housing 312 are connected. The top of the primary housing 311 has a through hole 311A, and the inner sidewall of the primary housing 311 has an internal thread. The bottom cover 313 is connected to the secondary housing 312. Here, the connection method between the voltage sensing device 30 and the cable connector 10 can be a plug-in type or a snap-fit ​​type, as long as it allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the voltage sensing device 30.

[0048] The shielding mechanism 32 includes an upper shielding component 321 and a lower shielding component 322, which are connected. The upper shielding component 321 has an internal thread on its inner wall and an external thread on its outer wall. The external thread on the outer wall of the upper shielding component 321 engages with the internal thread on the inner wall of the primary housing 311 to achieve the connection between the housing 31 and the shielding mechanism 32. Here, the shielding mechanism 32 is made of metal. The shielding mechanism 32 is designed to protect the voltage sensing mechanism 33 from damage or breakdown caused by external strong magnetic fields or strong currents. Furthermore, when the shielding mechanism 32 needs to be replaced, it can be rotated to separate it from both the housing 31 and the voltage sensing mechanism 33, thus removing the shielding mechanism 32 before installing the new one, effectively improving operational convenience.

[0049] The rod 331 of the voltage sensing mechanism 33 passes through the through hole 311A ​​of the primary housing 311, and its top is connected to the conductive rod 21 in the arc extinguishing device 20 to energize the voltage sensing mechanism 33, thereby meeting the conditions for voltage testing. Furthermore, the voltage sensing mechanism 33 is provided with an external thread, which mates with the internal thread on the inner wall of the upper shielding assembly 321 to achieve the connection between the voltage sensing mechanism 33 and the shielding assembly 32. Here, the threaded connection between the voltage sensing mechanism 33 and the shielding assembly 32 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the voltage sensing mechanism 33. This allows for easy removal of the old voltage sensing mechanism 33 and installation of the new one when replacement is needed.

[0050] Here, an adjustable operating device 11 is provided on the outer wall of the cable connector 10. An operating band 113 is connected between the fixing mechanism 111 and the adjusting mechanism 112 in the operating device 11. A voltage testing device 12 is also provided on the outer wall of the cable connector 10. A shielding cap 121 is fitted on the outside of the voltage testing device 12. An arc extinguishing device 20 is connected to the cable connector 10. A voltage sensing device 30 is detachably connected to the bottom of the cable connector 10. A shielding mechanism 32 is connected inside the housing 31 of the voltage sensing device 30. A voltage sensing mechanism 33 is connected inside the shielding mechanism 32. This enables the plug-in cable connector 10 to be connected to the EVT in a bottom-connection manner, which effectively improves the convenience of use and meets the development needs of digitalization and intelligence of today's power grid equipment.

[0051] To facilitate understanding, the working principle of this application is further described as follows: The pluggable cable connector 10 connected to the EVT extends through the arc extinguishing device 20 and is directly inserted into or pulled out of the corresponding inlet sleeve 40, thereby completing the circuit switching. When the EVT (voltage sensor) is connected to the bottom of the cable connector 10, the top of the rod 331 of the voltage sensing mechanism 33 abuts against the conductive rod 21 in the arc extinguishing device 20, forming a circuit. Then, the arc extinguishing device 20 is connected to the corresponding inlet sleeve 40, realizing the energization of the voltage sensor, thereby allowing the voltage of the connected circuit to be measured. In addition, the voltage signal value obtained by the voltage sensor is connected to an external power automation system to provide voltage signal values ​​for its power automation system, effectively improving the convenience of use.
