[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides an adjustable terminal block for a three-phase dry-type transformer, comprising:

[0027] The connecting component 100 includes a column 101, a sealing plate 102 fixedly connected to the side wall of the column 101, a pad 103 fixedly connected to the inside of the column 101, and a cable clamping connector 104 sealed and installed on the end side wall of the column 101, the end of the cable clamping connector 104 extending into the inside of the column 101.

[0028] The wiring component 200 includes a support plate 201 fixedly connected to the side wall of the pad 103, a connector 202 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 201, a wire end protection cover 203 inserted into the middle of the connector 202, and a terminal block 204 fixedly connected to the side wall of the pad 103, with the end of the terminal block 204 extending to the side wall of the cable clamping connector 104.

[0029] The column 101 is a hollow cylinder made of high-strength insulating material (such as epoxy resin), forming a cable mounting cavity inside. Threaded interfaces on the outer wall are used to fix the sealing plate 102 and sensor connection cover 105. The insulation performance of the column 101 ensures electrical isolation safety of the terminal block under high-voltage environments. The sealing plate 102 is a circular metal plate that is sealed to the end of the column 101 via a sealing ring, forming a dustproof and moisture-proof enclosed space. A wire-passing hole is provided in the center of the sealing plate 102, and bolt holes are provided on the edges to fix it to the column 101, ensuring that the internal cables are protected from external environmental corrosion. The pad 103 is fixed to the insulating support plate in the middle section inside the column 101, supporting the wiring component 200 and providing a mechanical fixing point. A cable channel is pre-cut on the pad 103 to guide the cable clamping connector 104 to mate with the terminal block 204. The cable clamping connector 104 is used to connect external cables, and mechanical clamping of the cables is achieved by rotating the clamping nut. The support plate 201 is used to install components such as the pressure plate 205. The connector 202, terminal block 204, and wire end protector 203 work together to facilitate the fixing of cables and the formation of an electrical connection path. The wire end protector 203 is a cover made of transparent insulating plastic, with a hollow interior to accommodate cable connectors.

[0030] Specifically, the wiring component 200 also includes a pressure plate 205 inserted into the side wall of the wire end protection cover 203. A positioning post 206 is inserted into the inner side of the middle groove of the pressure plate 205. The end of the positioning post 206 is threaded to the side wall of the support plate 201. A spring 207 is sleeved in the middle of the positioning post 206. One end of the spring 207 is in elastic contact with the side of the pressure plate 205, and the other end of the spring 207 is in elastic contact with the upper surface of the support plate 201. A nut 208 is threaded to the end of the positioning post 206. The nut 208 is snapped into the upper end of the pressure plate 205. The wiring component 200 also includes a limiting post 209 threaded to the side wall of the support plate 201, and an adjusting block 210 threaded to the end of the limiting post 209. The adjusting block 210 is snapped into the middle of the groove at the end of the pressure plate 205, and the end of the limiting post 209 is at the same height as the wiring hole on the side wall of the wire end protection cover 203.

[0031] The pressure plate 205 is a metal pressure plate with a groove in the middle that slides into the positioning post 206. It can move up and down along the positioning post 206 by rotating the nut 208. The positioning post 206 is made of stainless steel, with one end threaded to the support plate 201 and the other end elastically connected to the pressure plate 205 via a spring 207, forming an adjustable elastic clamping structure. The spring 207 is fitted into the middle of the positioning post 206, initially providing upward elastic force so that the pressure plate 205 lightly presses against the cable connector. Rotating the nut 208 compresses the spring 207, increasing the pressure of the pressure plate 205 on the cable and ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection. The limiting post 209 is threadedly connected to the support plate 201, and the adjusting block 210 (wedge-shaped metal block) is installed at the end. By rotating the limiting post 209, the position of the adjusting block 210 in the groove of the pressure plate 205 can be adjusted, thereby limiting the maximum travel of the pressure plate 205 and preventing excessive compression that could damage the cable.

[0032] It should be noted that the connecting component 100 also includes a sensor connecting cover 105 installed on the side wall of the column 101, and a plug 106 sealed on the side wall of the column 101, with the end of the sensor connecting cover 105 extending into the interior of the column 101.

[0033] Among them, the sensor connection cover 105 and the plug 106 are optional accessories. The sensor connection cover 105 is used to install temperature or humidity sensors to realize real-time monitoring of the terminal block's operating status. The plug 106 is a spare interface seal made of rubber to ensure the sealing of unused interfaces.

[0034] Preferably, a sealing ring is installed at the connection between the column 101 and the sealing plate 102, and the side wall of the sealing plate 102 is tightly fitted to the side wall of the column 101.

[0035] In use, after stripping the insulation layer of the outer cable, insert it into the cable clamping connector 104, tighten the clamping nut on the outside of the connector, and fix the cable conductor with the elastic clip. Insert the other end of the cable connector into the wire end protection cover 203, push the wire clamping plate 205 downward, so that the connector contacts the connector 202. At this time, the spring 207 provides initial pressure, and rotating the nut 208 further compresses the spring, and the wire clamping plate 205 firmly presses the connector onto the connector 202, forming an electrical conduction path. Adjust the limit post 209 so that the adjusting block 210 abuts against the groove of the wire clamping plate 205 to set the maximum crimping stroke and avoid damage to the cable or connector due to excessive force.

[0036] In summary, the elastic combination of the pressure plate, spring, and positioning post allows for adaptation to thickness differences in cable connectors of varying specifications, achieving both light-load contact and adjustable pressure. Rotating the nut increases the crimping force via the spring, ensuring a secure connection for cables of different diameters. The travel limiting mechanism, consisting of the limiting post and adjusting block, precisely restricts the pressure plate's movement, preventing over-crimping and cable damage, while also accommodating various connector types and reducing repeated disassembly and assembly losses. The post and sealing plate form a dustproof and waterproof seal through a sealing ring, which, combined with the threaded seal of the sensor connection cover and plug, effectively prevents moisture and dust intrusion. The insulating pad and epoxy resin post create a double insulation barrier, isolating live components from external metal, significantly improving the insulation performance and operational safety of the terminal block in complex environments such as humidity and dust.
