Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable connection technology, and in particular to a railway signal cable connection structure. Background Technology
[0002] Railway signal cables play a vital role in the railway system, ensuring the safe, stable, and efficient operation of railway transportation. However, with the continuous development of railway construction and the increasing complexity of the operating environment, the use of railway signal cables faces various challenges, especially the protection of the grounding wire. The grounding wire of railway signal cables is mainly used to ensure the safety of the electrical system and prevent current leakage and damage to electrical equipment. However, during long-term operation, the grounding wire is exposed to environmental factors and is easily corroded by moisture, dirt, corrosion, and other external substances, leading to unstable signal transmission and even cable failure.

In addition, the environments where grounding wires are located are mostly cool and humid, making it easy for metal corrosion to occur at cable joints.
[0004] The existing patent (publication number: CN217522563U) describes a ground wire clamp for railway cable construction, comprising an upper sealing shell, a lower sealing shell, and cable connectors. Two cable connectors are interlocked. Both the upper and lower sealing shells cooperate with the cable connectors, and the upper and lower sealing shells are fixedly connected. The two cable connectors are fixedly clamped between the upper and lower sealing shells. This utility model features a simple overall structure, low production cost, and easy processing.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0031] A railway signal cable connection structure includes a cable 1, a wiring opening 2 on the side wall of the cable 1, a grounding wire 3 on the side wall of the wiring opening 2, a female protective cover 4 and a female protective cover 5 on the side wall of the cable 1, a grounding anti-detachment sealing mechanism 6 on the side wall of the female protective cover 4, and a sealing connection mechanism 7 between the female protective cover 4 and the female protective cover 5.
[0032] The grounding anti-detachment sealing mechanism 6 includes a wiring pipe 61 disposed on the side wall of the mother protective cover 4, a grounding wire 3 disposed inside the wiring pipe 61, an end cap 62 threadedly connected to one end of the wiring pipe 61, a compaction groove 63 disposed on one side of the end cap 62, a plurality of compaction screws 64 threadedly connected to the side wall of the end cap 62, a compaction block 65 movably disposed at the bottom of the compaction screw 64, the side wall of the compaction block 65 contacting the grounding wire 3, and a sealing ring 66 disposed on the side wall of the end cap 62, the two side walls of the sealing ring 66 contacting the wiring pipe 61 and the grounding wire 3 respectively.
[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, two anti-detachment covers 8 are provided on the side wall of the wiring opening 2. The anti-detachment covers 8 are semi-cylindrical. The top of the two anti-detachment covers 8 is threaded with a locking ring 9. The side wall of the locking ring 9 is provided with a through hole 10. The grounding wire 3 passes through the middle of the anti-detachment cover 8.
[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, support blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the mother protective cover 4 and the daughter protective cover 5. The support blocks 11 are semi-circular, and the side walls of the support blocks 11 are in contact with the cable 1.
[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, an anti-slip block 12 is provided on the inner wall of the support block 11, and anti-slip teeth 13 are provided on the side wall of the anti-slip block 12.
[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple cones 14 are provided on the side wall of the compaction block 65, and the cones 14 are in contact with the grounding wire 3.
[0037] In use, the cable 1 has a wiring opening 2 on its side wall for connection to the grounding wire 3, ensuring the safety and electromagnetic compatibility of the cable 1. The female protective cover 4 and the female protective cover 5 provide additional protection at the connection point between the cable 1 and the grounding wire 3, preventing damage from the external environment. The grounding wire 3 is placed inside the wiring conduit 61 and fixed by the compaction groove 63 and compaction screw 64 on the end cap 62. The movable setting of the compaction block 65 and the cone 14 on it ensure that the grounding wire 3 is firmly pressed, preventing it from loosening or falling off. Simultaneously, the sealing ring 66 ensures a tight seal between the wiring conduit 61 and the grounding wire 3, preventing moisture or dust and other impurities from entering. The wiring opening 2... Two anti-detachment covers 8 are also provided on the side wall. These two anti-detachment covers 8 are fixed by locking rings 9, which further enhances the stability of the grounding wire 3 and prevents it from falling off due to vibration or external force during long-term use. The support block 11 provides additional support for the cable 1 and prevents it from being deformed or damaged due to external force. The inner wall of the support block 11 is also provided with anti-slip blocks 12 and anti-slip teeth 13, which further enhances the friction between the cable 1 and the support block 11 and prevents the cable 1 from sliding during the connection process. In this way, the stability and sealing of the connection between the wiring opening 2 on the side wall of the cable 1 and the grounding wire 3 are ensured, effectively preventing the grounding wire 3 from loosening or falling off, as well as the corrosion of the connection by external impurities.
[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sealing connection mechanism 7 includes connecting blocks 71 disposed at both ends of the mother protective cover 4, connecting heads 72 disposed on the side walls of the connecting blocks 71, locking blocks 73 disposed at both ends of the daughter protective cover 5, the locking blocks 73 being movably connected to the connecting heads 72, a locking nut 74 disposed at one end of the connecting head 72, and sealing rubber heads 75 disposed at both ends of the mother protective cover 4 and the daughter protective cover 5, the sealing rubber heads 75 being semi-circularly shaped.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, both ends of the mother protective cover 4 and the daughter protective cover 5 are provided with slots 15. The cross-section of the slot 15 is a three-quarter circle, and a retaining ring 16 is movably provided on the side wall of the slot 15.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mother protective cover 4 has an insert 17 on its side wall and the daughter protective cover 5 has a slot 18 on its side wall, with the insert 17 and slot 18 being compatible.
[0041] In use, the mother protective cover 4 has connecting blocks 71 at both ends, and connecting blocks 71 are equipped with connectors 72. The daughter protective cover 5 has locking blocks 73 at both ends. These locking blocks 73 can be movably connected with the connectors 72. When the mother protective cover 4 and the daughter protective cover 5 need to be combined, the locking blocks 73 will be inserted into the corresponding connectors 72 to form a preliminary connection. One end of the connector 72 is also equipped with a locking nut 74. After the locking blocks 73 are connected to the connectors 72, the connection between the two can be further tightened by rotating the locking nut 74. At the same time, the mother protective cover 4 and the daughter protective cover 5 are also equipped with semi-circular sealing rubber heads 75 at both ends. These sealing rubber heads 75 are used to seal the mother protective cover 4 and the daughter protective cover 5. When the sub-protective covers 5 are combined, they fit together to form a continuous sealing surface, effectively preventing moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the connection. To further enhance the stability of the connection, three-quarter circular grooves 15 are provided at both ends of the mother protective cover 4 and the sub-protective cover 5, and retaining rings 16 are movably installed on the side walls of the grooves 15. When the mother protective cover 4 and the sub-protective cover 5 are combined and locked, the retaining rings 16 can be inserted into the corresponding grooves 15 to form an additional fixing point, preventing them from loosening due to vibration or external force during long-term use. In addition, inserts 17 are provided on the side walls of the mother protective cover 4, while slots 18 that are compatible with inserts 17 are provided on the side walls of the sub-protective cover 5. When the mother protective cover 4 and the sub-protective cover 5 are combined, the inserts 17 are inserted into the slots 18 to form an additional connection point, further enhancing the connection strength. In this way, a tight connection and a sealed connection between the mother protective cover 4 and the sub-protective cover 5 are achieved.
[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem that the existing ground wire clamps used in railway cable construction cannot achieve reinforced connection and sealing protection between the cable and the ground wire 3 is solved. This would lead to the connection between the cable and the ground wire 3 being eroded by moisture, dirt, corrosion and other external substances, resulting in unstable signal transmission or even cable failure.
[0043] Working principle: When in use, the connecting block 71, connecting head 72, locking block 73, and locking nut 74 firstly connect the female protective cover 4 and the female protective cover 5 tightly together, achieving a sealed connection between the female protective cover 4 and the female protective cover 5 and the connection between the cable 1 and the grounding wire 3. The sealing rubber head 75 ensures the sealing of the connection. The grounding wire 3 is placed inside the connecting pipe 61 and fixed by the compaction groove 63 and compaction screw 64 on the end cover 62. The movable setting of the compaction block 65 allows the grounding wire 3 to be firmly pressed, preventing it from loosening or falling off. At the same time, the setting of the sealing plug ring 66 ensures the sealing between the connecting pipe 61 and the grounding wire 3, preventing moisture or dust and other impurities from entering. In this way, the stability and sealing of the connection between the cable 1 side wall wiring opening 2 and the grounding wire 3 are ensured, effectively preventing the grounding wire 3 from loosening or falling off, as well as the corrosion of the connection by external impurities.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
