Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable accessory technology, specifically to an oil-filled cable accessory stress cone sealing structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of power systems, the safety and reliability of cable terminals have become crucial issues in power transmission. Oil-filled cable terminals are widely used due to their excellent insulation performance, but their sealing performance has always been a technical challenge. The external insulation of oil-filled cable terminals typically uses porcelain bushings or composite bushings, with the interior filled with liquid insulating filler. The stress cone and its positioning hardware are immersed in insulating oil. Currently, the sealing between the stress cone and the positioning hardware mainly uses wrapping sealing tape. However, in low ambient temperatures, the tensile strength of the sealing tape weakens, making it difficult to achieve a full sealing effect after wrapping. Furthermore, prolonged high-temperature immersion of the sealing tape in liquid insulating filler can easily lead to tape aging and chemical reactions with the insulating filler, resulting in unstable sealing performance.

[0030] With the continuous development of power systems, the safety and reliability of cable terminals have become crucial issues in power transmission. Oil-filled cable terminals are widely used due to their excellent insulation performance, but their sealing performance has always been a technical challenge. The external insulation of oil-filled cable terminals typically uses porcelain bushings or composite bushings, with the interior filled with liquid insulating filler. The stress cone and its positioning hardware are immersed in insulating oil. Currently, the sealing between the stress cone and the positioning hardware mainly uses wrapping sealing tape. However, in low ambient temperatures, the tensile strength of the sealing tape weakens, making it difficult to achieve a full sealing effect after wrapping. Furthermore, prolonged high-temperature immersion of the sealing tape in liquid insulating filler can easily lead to tape aging and chemical reactions with the insulating filler, resulting in unstable sealing performance.

[0031] This utility model proposes a stress cone sealing structure for oil-filled cable accessories. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 2 The device includes: an insulating sleeve 1 having an installation cavity 1a; a cable 3 passing through the installation cavity 1a, with an insulating filler 2 filling the space between the outer wall of the cable 3 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 1a; a stress cone 4 fitted onto the outer wall of the cable 3 and located between the outer wall of the cable 3 and the insulating filler 2; a positioning hardware 5 fitted onto the outer wall of the cable 3 and installed below the stress cone 4; and a fixing ring 6 fitted onto the outer wall of the stress cone 4 near the positioning hardware 5, with the fixing ring 6 and the positioning hardware 5 being sealed together.

[0032] In this embodiment, the insulating sleeve 1 is a porcelain sleeve or a composite sleeve, with a hollow structure and an installation cavity 1a. The insulating filler 2 is an insulating liquid, preferably insulating oil. The cable 3 passes through the installation cavity 1a along the axial direction of the insulating sleeve 1. The cable 3 has a shielding layer 31 exposed after stripping. The stress cone 4 is made of silicone rubber and is fitted over the outside of the cable 3 to make the electric field distribution more uniform, avoid excessive local electric field strength, and improve the stability and reliability of the cable terminal. Preferably, the stress cone 4 is interference-fitted with the cable 3. This ensures that the stress cone 4 and the cable 3 fit tightly, avoids partial discharge in the air gap, and effectively improves the electrical performance and mechanical stability of the cable terminal. The positioning hardware 5 has a through hole for the cable 3 to pass through. The positioning hardware 5 is installed below the stress cone 4 and between the outer wall of the cable 3 and the insulating filler 2 to install and position the stress cone 4. A fixing ring 6 is fitted on the outer wall of the end of the stress cone 4 near the positioning hardware 5. Preferably, the retaining ring 6 is made of metal, which can effectively prevent material aging caused by long-term immersion in high temperature and improve the sealing connection stability of the overall structure. The retaining ring 6 is sealed to the positioning hardware 5, preventing the insulating filler 2 from seeping into the positioning hardware 5 and flowing out along the cable 3, effectively solving the leakage problem of the insulating filler 2 at the cable terminal.

[0033] This utility model provides an embodiment, please refer to it. Figure 1The bottom end of the stress cone 4 extends downward and is fitted onto the upper outer wall of the positioning hardware 5.

[0034] Specifically, the stress cone 4 extends downward at its bottom end to form a first connecting part, and the positioning hardware 5 has a second connecting part at its upper end. The first connecting part is fitted over the second connecting part, and the inner wall of the first connecting part is adapted to and fits the outer wall of the second connecting part to ensure the tight connection between the stress cone 4 and the positioning hardware 5.

[0035] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The stress cone 4 includes a semi-conductive part 41 and an insulating part 42 that are fixedly connected; the upper end of the semi-conductive part 41 is in the shape of an upward-opening trumpet; the insulating part 42 is sleeved on the outside of the semi-conductive part 41.

[0036] Specifically, the insulating part 42 is entirely sleeved on the outside of the semi-conductive part 41. The upper end of the semi-conductive part 42 is disposed inside the insulating part 42; the lower end of the semi-conductive part 42 is flush with the insulating part 42, or the lower end of the semi-conductive part 42 is located inside the insulating part 42. It can be understood that the lower end of the semi-conductive part 42 is in contact with the outer wall of the second connecting part of the positioning hardware 5.

[0037] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positioning hardware 5 has a support base 51, which abuts against the bottom end of the stress cone 4.

[0038] Specifically, a support seat 51 protrudes outward from the outer wall of the positioning hardware 5 near the stress cone 4. The support seat 51 is located below the first connecting part of the stress cone 4, and its upper end face abuts against the lower end face of the first connecting part. Understandably, the lower end face of the insulating part 42 abuts against the upper end face of the support seat 51. This effectively prevents the insulating filler 2 from entering the positioning hardware 5 through the tiny gap at the connection between the stress cone 4 and the positioning hardware 5, ensuring that the insulating filler 2 does not flow out of the insulating sleeve 1 along the gap between the cable 3 and the positioning hardware 5, effectively sealing the insulating filler 2 within the insulating sleeve 1.

[0039] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The lower surface of the fixing ring 6 abuts against the upper end of the support base 51; a sealing groove is provided on the side of the support base 51 facing the fixing ring 6, and a sealing ring 8 is provided in the sealing groove.

[0040] Specifically, the fixing ring 6 is installed on the upper end of the support base 51, with its lower end face abutting against the upper end face of the support base 51. The fixing ring 6 is sleeved on the outer wall of the stress cone 4, and its inner wall is tightly fitted against the outer wall of the insulation part 42. A sealing groove is provided on the end face of the support base 51 facing the fixing ring 6, and a sealing ring 8 is provided in the sealing groove to achieve a sealed connection between the fixing ring 6 and the positioning hardware 5. This effectively prevents the insulating filler 2 from entering the positioning hardware 5 from the tiny gap at the connection between the stress cone 4 and the positioning hardware 5, ensuring that the insulating filler 2 will not flow out of the insulating sleeve 1 along the gap between the cable 3 and the positioning hardware 5. The insulating filler 2 is effectively sealed inside the insulating sleeve 1, resulting in a good sealing effect, strong stability, and improved service life of the cable terminal.

[0041] Further, please refer to Figure 2 The support base 51 has a fixing hole for installing the fastener 7, and the fixing ring 6 is fixedly installed to the support base 51 by the fastener 7.

[0042] Understandably, fastener 7 can be a fastening bolt. Fastener 7 enables a detachable connection between the retaining ring 6 and the positioning hardware 5, simplifying the installation and disassembly of the cable accessory structure and improving the stability and reliability of the cable terminal.

[0043] Optionally, the stress cone 4 and the retaining ring 6 are fixedly connected using an adhesive. This ensures the tightness and stability of the connection between the stress cone 4 and the retaining ring 6.

[0044] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The outer wall of the insulating bushing 1 has several outwardly protruding skirts distributed along the axial direction. The skirts can increase the creepage distance of the insulating bushing 1, effectively prevent high-voltage discharge, and thus significantly improve the electrical performance and safety of the cable terminal.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 1 The umbrella skirt and the insulating sleeve 1 are integrally formed, and several umbrella skirts are arranged in an alternating pattern of large and small sizes, which effectively enhances the creepage effect and mechanical strength.
