For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a cable connector, including a connector assembly 2. The connector assembly 2 includes a thermally conductive silicone block 25. A plug 27 is fixedly installed inside the right thermally conductive silicone block 25, and a socket 26 is fixedly installed inside the left thermally conductive silicone block 25. The socket 26 is composed of multiple cylindrical metal copper cylinders embedded inside the left thermally conductive silicone block 25. The plug 27 is made of metal copper, and the left half of the plug 27 is located outside the thermally conductive silicone block 25. The outer diameter of the plug 27 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the socket 26. The plug 27 is inserted into the socket 26.

[0025] A combination plate 21 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the thermally conductive silicone block 25. Stainless steel rings 22 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the combination plate 21, which is located on the outer side of the thermally conductive silicone block 25. Connecting plates 23 are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the mating portions of the two stainless steel rings 22. Bolts 24 are fixedly installed between adjacent connecting plates 23. The cable includes a cable assembly 1, which includes cable cores 11. The left cable core 11 passes through the left combination plate 21 and the interior of the thermally conductive silicone block 25 and is electrically connected to the corresponding sockets 26. The right cable core 11 passes through the right combination plate 21 and the interior of the thermally conductive silicone block 25 and is electrically connected to the corresponding plugs 27.

[0026] In this embodiment, when the cable is connected, the plugs 27 on both sides are inserted into the sockets 26. After the plugs 27 and the sockets 26 come into contact, power is transmitted between them, thereby transmitting power to the cables on both sides. When the connector is fixed, the two stainless steel rings 22 are fixedly connected by installing bolts 24 between the corresponding connecting plates 23, thereby fixing both sides of the connector and ensuring connection stability. After fixing, the heat at the connection point between the plugs 27 and the sockets 26 can be quickly dissipated to the outside by the excellent thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive silicone block 25 and the stainless steel rings 22, thereby effectively solving the problem of heat accumulation at the connector when connecting the circuit with existing cable connectors, thus ensuring the safety of the connection.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one aspect of this embodiment, an insulation layer 12 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the cable core 11, a shielding layer 13 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the insulation layer 12, and an outer sheath 14 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the shielding layer 13. The cable core 11 is composed of multiple strands of copper wire, the insulation layer 12 is made of cross-linked polyethylene material, the shielding layer 13 is made of braided copper wire, and the outer sheath 14 is made of polyvinyl chloride material.

[0028] In this embodiment, the insulation layer 12 is made of cross-linked polyethylene material, which has good insulation and heat resistance properties. The shielding layer 13 is made of copper strip or copper wire braid, which can effectively shield electromagnetic interference and improve the cable's anti-interference ability. The outer sheath 14 is made of polyvinyl chloride material, which has wear resistance, aging resistance and waterproof properties.

[0029] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] Working principle: When the cable is connected, the plugs 27 on both sides are inserted into the sockets 26. After the plugs 27 and the sockets 26 come into contact, power is transmitted between them, thus transmitting power to the cables on both sides. When fixing the joint, the two stainless steel rings 22 are fixedly connected by installing bolts 24 between the corresponding connecting plates 23, thereby fixing both sides of the joint and ensuring connection stability. After fixing, the heat at the connection point between the plugs 27 and the sockets 26 can be quickly dissipated to the outside by the excellent thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive silicone block 25 and the stainless steel rings 22, thus effectively solving the problem of heat accumulation at the joint when connecting the circuit with existing cable joints, thereby ensuring the safety of the connection. The insulation layer 12 is made of cross-linked polyethylene material, which has good insulation and heat resistance. The shielding layer 13 is made of copper strip or copper wire braid, which can effectively shield electromagnetic interference and improve the cable's anti-interference ability. The outer sheath 14 is made of polyvinyl chloride material, which has wear resistance, aging resistance and waterproof properties.
