[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a waterproof power cable, comprising:

[0025] Power cable body 1;

[0026] Waterproofing mechanism 2 at the connection point is installed at the end of the power cable body 1 and is used to waterproof the connection point of the power cable body 1.

[0027] The protective waterproof mechanism 3 is installed on the outer wall of the power cable body 1 and is used to protect the outer wall of the power cable body 1.

[0028] The waterproof mechanism 2 at the connection includes a closed connection box 21. Both sides of the closed connection box 21 have through holes 22. Both sides of the closed connection box 21 are fixedly connected to connecting pipes 23. Rubber rings 24 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the connecting pipes 23. A cover plate 25 is movably inserted into the opening of the closed connection box 21. A rubber frame 26 is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of the cover plate 25. The ends of the power cable bodies 1 are movably inserted into the inner cavity of the connecting pipes 23. When connecting the ends of the power cable bodies 1, the ends of the two power cable bodies 1 are respectively inserted into the two connecting pipes 23. Inside the cavity of the connector 23, the conductor of the power cable body 1 passes through the through hole 22 and enters the closed connection box 21. The conductor is then connected inside the cavity of the closed connection box 21. Next, the cover plate 25 is inserted into the opening of the closed connection box 21. At this time, the rubber ring 24 seals the connection between the connector 23 and the power cable body 1, and the rubber frame 26 seals the connection between the closed connection box 21 and the cover plate 25. This achieves the function of waterproofing the connection of the power cable body 1, improving the waterproofing effect and facilitating user use.

[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a protrusion 27 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover plate 25, and a connecting bolt 28 is threadedly connected to the protrusion 27. The threaded end of the connecting bolt 28 is in movable contact with the outer wall of the closed connecting box 21. After the cover plate 25 is fully inserted into the opening of the closed connecting box 21, the connecting bolt 28 is manually tightened to make the connecting bolt 28 press against the outer wall of the closed connecting box 21 to fix the position of the cover plate 25 and prevent it from falling off.

[0030] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top of the cover plate 25 is fixedly connected to an external threaded pipe port 29. An internal threaded cap 291 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the external threaded pipe port 29. A rotating handle 292 is fixedly installed on the top of the internal threaded cap 291, and a handle 293 is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate 25. Before inserting the cover plate 25 into the closed connection box 21, rotate the internal threaded cap 291 from the rotating handle 292 to loosen it from the external threaded pipe port 29, thereby releasing the sealing effect and avoiding the problem of difficulty in inserting the cover plate 25 due to air pressure. This improves the smoothness of inserting the cover plate 25 into place. After insertion, tighten the internal threaded cap 291 to restore the seal.

[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the protective waterproof mechanism 3 includes a first alloy protective strip 31 and a second alloy protective strip 32. Both the first alloy protective strip 31 and the second alloy protective strip 32 are movably connected to the outer wall of the power cable body 1. The first alloy protective strip 31 and the second alloy protective strip 32 are both made of aluminum alloy. When the power cable body 1 is laid in cable trenches and cable wells, these places are places where animals such as rodents can easily enter. Animals can easily gnaw on the power cable body 1, causing the waterproof function of the power cable body 1 to fail and affecting safety. In view of this usage environment, installing the first alloy protective strip 31 and the second alloy protective strip 32 on the outer wall of the power cable body 1 can achieve the anti-gnawing function and further improve the waterproof effect of the power cable body 1.

[0032] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a first assembly block 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first alloy protective strip 31, and a second assembly block 34 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second alloy protective strip 32. The second assembly block 34 has a pin groove. The connection relationship between the first assembly block 33 and the second assembly block 34 is designed to facilitate the assembly of the first alloy protective strip 31 and the second alloy protective strip 32 on the outer wall of the power cable body 1.

[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a fitting block 35 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first assembly block 33. The fitting block 35 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the pin groove. A convex shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the fitting block 35 away from the first assembly block 33. A limit block 37 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the convex shaft 36. A rubber block 38 is fixedly connected to the side of the limit block 37 near the first assembly block 33. When assembling the first alloy protective strip 31 and the second alloy protective strip 32 on the outer wall of the power cable body 1, the fitting block 35 is fixedly connected to the first assembly block 33. The mating block 35 is inserted into the pin groove of the second assembly block 34. Then, the limiting block 37 is rotated manually to prevent the limiting block 37 and the mating block 35 from overlapping in the axial direction. At this time, the limiting block 37 limits the pulling out of the mating block 35, thus completing the assembly of the first alloy protective strip 31 and the second alloy protective strip 32. Through the design of the rubber block 38, after the limiting block 37 is rotated, the rubber block 38 can fit tightly against the side of the second assembly block 34, which has the effect of preventing the limiting block 37 from rotating.

[0034] Working principle: When connecting the ends of the power cable body 1, the ends of the two power cable bodies 1 are respectively inserted into the inner cavities of the two connecting pipes 23. At the same time, the conductors of the power cable bodies 1 pass through the through holes 22 into the closed connecting box 21. Then, the conductor connection is completed in the inner cavity of the closed connecting box 21. Next, the cover plate 25 is inserted into the opening of the closed connecting box 21. At this time, the rubber ring 24 seals the connection between the connecting pipe 23 and the power cable body 1, and the rubber frame 26 seals the connection between the closed connecting box 21 and the cover plate 25, thus achieving the function of waterproofing the connection of the power cable bodies 1. Then, the connecting bolt 28 is manually inserted. Tighten the bolts to ensure that the connecting bolts 28 are pressed against the outer wall of the closed connecting box 21 to fix the position of the cover plate 25. When laying the main body of the power cable 1 in a location with high animal activity, assemble the No. 1 alloy protective strip 31 and the No. 2 alloy protective strip 32 on the outer wall of the main body of the power cable 1 to protect the main body of the power cable 1. During assembly, put the No. 1 alloy protective strip 31 and the No. 2 alloy protective strip 32 on the outer wall of the main body of the power cable 1, and at the same time insert the fitting block 35 on the No. 1 assembly block 33 into the pin groove of the No. 2 assembly block 34. Then manually rotate the limiting block 37 to ensure that the limiting block 37 and the fitting block 35 do not overlap axially.

[0035] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
