[0039] As shown, Figure 1 The sealing pipe body 100 is made of high-strength corrosion-resistant metal pipe, the length L = 2L1 + L2 and the outer diameter D = 2D1 + D2 or D = 2D3 + D4 are generally 200mm-300mm, 25mm-35mm; the length L1 and the inner diameter D2 of the internal thread part 110 at both ends are generally 20mm-25mm, and the pipe wall thickness D1 of the thread part at both ends is generally 2-4mm; the inner diameter D4 of the middle pipe cavity 120 is generally smaller than the inner diameter D2 of the internal thread part 110 at both ends, and is generally 12mm-15mm; the thickness D3 of the pipe wall 130 in the middle of the sealing pipe body 100 is generally 6-8mm.

[0040] As shown, Figure 2 The cross section of the end cap 210 of the sealing pipe joint 200 can be hexagonal or square, and the distance between the opposite sides of the hexagon or square is generally slightly larger than the outer diameter of the sealing pipe body, and there is a circular hole with a diameter of R1 in the middle, which is for the cable to be connected to pass through; the other end of the end cap 210 is a metal spiral, which is a spiral thread that perfectly matches the internal thread at both ends of the sealing pipe body, with a length and outer diameter of about 20mm-25mm; the spiral part is actually a lathe-turned part that can be completely screwed into the external thread of the internal thread part 110 at both ends of the sealing pipe body 100, and perfectly matches the internal thread part 110, with a length L3 slightly smaller than the length L1 of the internal thread part 110, leaving room for the deformation of the rubber ring 220; the thickness B of the rubber ring 220 is about 5mm-7mm, and the outer diameter R4 is about 20mm-23mm, and the diameter R3 of the hole in the middle is slightly larger than the diameter R1 of the hole in the middle of the end cap 210, with a diameter of about 6mm-12mm, for the cable to be connected to pass through; the rubber ring 220 is flattened and then expanded outward under the pressure of the tightened end cap during the screwing-in process, filling the peripheral pores and preventing leakage, with strong anti-aging ability.

[0041] As shown, Figure 3As shown, the internal connection structure 300 is to strip the outer skin of the two cables 350 to be connected to expose the internal colored copper wire, and to weld the corresponding colored copper wire inside the two cables 350 to be connected to perform the first process welding connection 310. After completion, the hot melt sealing sleeve 320 of the internal colored wire copper wire on the colored copper wire of one side is pushed to the appropriate position for hot melt sealing, which is the second process. After the hot melt sealing of all colored copper wire, the hot melt sealing sleeve 330 of the external cable on one side is pushed to the appropriate position for hot melt sealing of the cable skin, which is the third process. Then, after the sealing tube body 100, the sealing tube joint 200 and the rubber ring 220 on one side are pushed to the appropriate position and tightened, the epoxy resin 340 is poured for sealing, and the other side sealing tube joint 200 is finally closed, which is the fourth process. The four processes are the steps required to complete the internal connection structure 300.

[0042] The conventional method is generally to strip the outer skin of the connection end of the two cables to be connected, and then strip the internal copper wire of the colored interface line of the connection end. The internal copper wire of the colored interface line is welded one by one, and then the internal copper wire of each color is sealed by electrician's tape or hot melt sealing sleeve. Then the outer cable skin is sealed by the same method. The conventional method has poor mechanical strength, poor sealing performance and poor engineering site operation standard.

[0043] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0044] First, the two cables to be connected 350 to be connected can be the same diameter or different diameter. The outer skin of the connection end is stripped first, and then the internal copper wire of the colored interface line of the connection end is stripped. A sealing tube joint 200, a rubber ring 220 and a sealing tube body 100 are sequentially threaded on the left end cable, and a sealing tube joint 200, a rubber ring 220 are sequentially threaded on the right end cable.

[0045] Secondly, after the above preparation is completed, the hot melt sealing sleeve 320 of the internal colored wire copper wire and the hot melt sealing sleeve 330 of the external cable are sleeved on one end in advance. After the internal copper wire of the colored interface line is welded one by one, the hot melt sealing sleeve 320 is retracted to the welding position, and the internal copper wire of each color is sealed by using an electric hair dryer. Then the hot melt sealing sleeve 330 is retracted to the cable skin position by the same method, and the external cable skin is sealed by using an electric hair dryer. At this time, the two cables to be connected are preliminarily welded and hot melt sealed, and the length of the cable welding and hot melt sealing section is less than the length L2 of the sealing tube body.

[0046] Third, the left end of the cable 350 on the sealing tube body 100 back to the cable welding and hot melt wrapped in the center of the sealing tube body 100, and then the rubber ring 220 inserted into the left end of the sealing tube body 100 inside the thread 110, and then the left end of the sealing tube joint 200 cover 210 with wrench gradually screwed to tight, in the process of tightening because the inner diameter D4 of the stainless steel tube body 120 is less than the inner diameter D2 of the inner thread portion 110, the rubber ring 220 is sealed by the end of the sealing tube joint 210, and then under the lateral pressure, the outer expansion deformation is flattened, and then tightly holds the cable skin while filling the bottom of the inner thread portion 110, which has a good sealing effect, but also can not be too hard to twist, so as not to damage the rubber ring 220. After the left end of the sealing tube body 100 is sealed, the left end is downward, the right end is erected, the liquid of the prepared epoxy resin 340 is sucked by the suction tube and poured into the stainless steel tube body 120 inside the sealing tube body 100, and the cable connection part 300 is immersed after pouring, and the rubber ring 220 and the sealing tube joint 200 of the right end of the cable are tightened according to the above method.

[0047] Thus, the whole sealing process is completed, and through the three steps, the pressure resistance and sealing waterproof of the underwater observation equipment cable connection are realized.

[0048] The utility model has the advantages of high mechanical strength of connection part, good sealing performance, good engineering site operation specification, multi-sealing to ensure high sealing safety, and is suitable for underwater observation equipment cable connection in similar water transportation engineering and port engineering, and is especially popular in seawater sealing connection.

[0049] The above description of the embodiments is for the convenience of the ordinary skilled in the art to understand and use the utility model. Those skilled in the art can obviously make various modifications to these embodiments, and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative labor. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and the improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model should be within the protection scope of the utility model.
