Abstract
Description

[0002] In the fields of power systems and communication engineering, cable joints are key components for line connections, and their structural reliability and assembly efficiency directly affect project costs and operation and maintenance quality. Traditional cable joints generally adopt a three-section connection architecture of "joint + intermediate joint + joint," that is, the line is connected by connecting two terminal joints in series with an intermediate transition joint. Although this structure can complete the basic connection function, it has significant drawbacks: First, the multi-component design increases the types and quantities of materials, resulting in resource waste and increased procurement and management costs; second, the three-level assembly process requires multiple alignment operations, and the installation process requires repeated thread tightening, sealing verification, and other procedures, significantly reducing construction efficiency; third, multiple contact interfaces increase the risk of abnormal contact resistance and insulation failure, affecting long-term operational stability. In addition, the mechanical locking of traditional joints mostly relies on threaded connections, which are prone to loosening in vibration environments, and repeated disassembly and assembly can lead to structural wear.

[0024] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Example:
[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a bypass coupling interconnection cable connector, including connector 1 and connector 2. One end of connector 1 is inserted and connected to one end of connector 2. Connector 1 includes a housing 101, which is a hollow structure. One end of housing 101 is provided with a socket 102. The edge of the socket 102 is provided with a guide angle 103. A fixing groove 104 is provided on housing 101 near the socket 102. A metal protective shell 105 is provided on housing 101 near the fixing groove 104. Connector 2 includes a housing 201, which is a hollow structure. One end of housing 201 is provided with a socket 20. 2. A limiting ring 203 is provided on the outer side of the socket 202. Several steel ball holes 204 are provided on the outer shell 201 near the limiting ring 203. Steel balls 205 are installed in the steel ball holes 204. The diameter of the opening of the steel ball holes 204 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the steel ball 205. A spring-loaded block 206 is installed inside the outer shell 201 near the limiting ring 203. A return spring 207 is provided on the side of the spring-loaded block 206 away from the limiting ring 203. A limiting sleeve 208 is installed at the front of the outer shell 201. A locking spring 209 is provided between the limiting sleeve 208 and the outer shell 201. A steel ball groove 210 is provided on the limiting sleeve 208 corresponding to the position of the steel ball 205.
[0027] This embodiment of the invention connects connector 1 and connector 2 using a socket connection. Connector 1 includes a hollow outer shell 101 with a socket 102 at one end. A guide angle 103 is machined along the edge of the socket 102, guiding connector 1 when it is inserted into connector 2, facilitating insertion and reducing resistance during connection, thus improving connection efficiency. A fixing groove 104 is formed near the socket 102 on the outer shell 101. The shape and size of the fixing groove 104 are adapted to the steel ball 205 of connector 2, ensuring a smooth fit. This design enables quick locking of connector 1 and connector 2, ensuring reliable connection and preventing loosening during use. A metal protective shell 105 is installed on the outer shell 101 near the fixing groove 104. Connector 2 includes an outer shell 201, which is also a hollow structure. A socket 202 is provided at one end, with a retaining ring 203 integrally formed on the outer side of the socket 202. The diameter of the retaining ring 203 is larger than the diameter of the socket 202. Several ball bearing holes 204 are evenly distributed on the outer shell 201 near the retaining ring 203. Each ball bearing hole 204 contains a ball bearing 205 that mates with the fixing groove 104. The diameter of the ball bearing 205 is slightly smaller than the ball bearing hole 204. The diameter of the ball bearing hole 204 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball bearing 205, ensuring that the ball bearing 205 can partially protrude from the ball bearing hole 204 and contact the fixing groove 104. A spring-loaded block 206 is installed inside the outer casing 201 near the limiting ring 203. A return spring 207 is installed on the side of the spring-loaded block 206 away from the limiting ring 203. One end of the return spring 207 is fixedly connected to the spring-loaded block 206, and the other end is fixed inside the outer casing 201. The spring-loaded block 206 and the return spring 207 are positioned to abut against the connector 1 when it is inserted, providing a pushing force to the connector 1. After the ball bearing 205 falls into the fixing groove 104, the push of the spring-loaded block 206 will jam the ball bearing 205, preventing the connector 1 from being inserted into the fixing groove 104. 1. Disconnect from connector 2. A limiting sleeve 208 is installed on the front of outer shell 201. A locking spring 209 is provided between the limiting sleeve 208 and outer shell 201. The locking spring 209 is sleeved on the outside of outer shell 201, with one end in contact with the limiting sleeve 208 and the other end connected to the fixing structure on outer shell 201. The limiting sleeve 208 is provided with a ball bearing groove 210 corresponding to the position of the ball bearing 205. The depth and width of the ball bearing groove 210 are adapted to the ball bearing 205 so that the ball bearing 205 can move within the ball bearing groove 210. The setting of the limiting sleeve 208 and the locking spring 209 can further limit the ball bearing 205, prevent the ball bearing 205 from accidentally falling out, and enhance the connection stability of the connector.
[0028] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the outer casing 101 has anti-slip texture 106 in the middle. By processing the anti-slip texture 106 on the outer surface of the middle part of the outer casing 101, the anti-slip texture 106 can increase the surface roughness of the outer casing 101. When the operator holds the connector 1, it increases the friction between the hand and the outer casing 101, preventing the connector 1 from slipping from the hand during insertion or disassembly, thus improving the convenience and safety of operation.
[0029] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a retaining ring 211 is provided inside the outer casing 201 to fix the return spring 207. By setting the retaining ring 211 inside the outer casing 201 at the position corresponding to the return spring 207, the retaining ring 211 is integrally formed with the outer casing 201. The retaining ring 211 provides fixed support for the return spring 207, preventing the return spring 207 from shifting or twisting during operation, ensuring that the return spring 207 can apply elastic force in a predetermined direction, thereby ensuring the normal reset of the return block 206 and the steel ball 205, and maintaining the stability of the connector connection structure.
[0030] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer side of the limiting sleeve 208 is provided with anti-slip texture 212. By machining anti-slip texture 212 on the outer surface of the limiting sleeve 208, the anti-slip texture 212 is integrally formed with the limiting sleeve 208. When it is necessary to operate the connector 2, the operator can push the limiting sleeve 208 and apply force more conveniently by utilizing the friction provided by the anti-slip texture 212, thereby improving the convenience of operation.
[0031] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 7 As shown, the locking spring 209 is arranged along the movement direction of the limiting sleeve 208, and a fixing ring 213 is provided on the outside of the outer shell 201 to fix the locking spring 209. By aligning the movement direction of the locking spring 209 with the movement direction of the limiting sleeve 208, and by providing a fixing ring 213 on the outside of the outer shell 201 corresponding to the position of the locking spring 209 to fix the locking spring 209, a force is effectively applied to the limiting sleeve 208, ensuring that the limiting sleeve 208 can move stably along the outer shell 201, preventing the locking spring 209 from shifting during operation, ensuring the normal operation of the locking mechanism, enhancing the locking effect of the joint connection, and preventing the limiting sleeve 208 from accidentally sliding and causing the joint to loosen.
[0032] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, the outer casing 101 and the outer casing 201 are made of aluminum alloy. By using aluminum alloy to make the outer casing 101 and the outer casing 201 and connecting them with a grounding wire, it is possible to prevent the outer casing from not conducting through the grounding wire, avoid the risk of electric shock when the operator touches the outer casing, improve the safety of the connector, and at the same time prevent external electromagnetic interference from affecting the signal transmission inside the cable, ensuring the stability of signal transmission.
[0033] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 5 As shown, a cable 3 is installed inside the outer casing 101, and a copper terminal 4 is provided on the cable 3 near the socket 102. By installing the cable 3 inside the outer casing 101, one end of the cable 3 passes through the other end of the outer casing 101, and the copper terminal 4 is provided near the socket 102. The copper terminal 4 is connected to the core wire of the cable 3 to ensure good conductivity. The copper terminal 4 provides a reliable terminal for the cable 3. The good conductivity of the copper terminal can reduce resistance, reduce power loss, and ensure stable current transmission.
[0034] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figure 6 As shown, a cable 3 is installed inside the outer casing 201. A connecting copper post 5 is provided at one end of the cable 3, and an intermediate connecting post 6 is connected to the other end of the connecting copper post 5. By installing the cable 3 inside the outer casing 201, providing a connecting copper post 5 at one end of the cable 3, connecting the connecting copper post 5 to the core wire of the cable 3, and connecting the other end of the connecting copper post 5 to the intermediate connecting post 6, the other end of the intermediate connecting post 6 is used to connect to the connecting copper post 4, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the connector, while ensuring good conductivity and smooth current transmission.
[0035] In a specific implementation of the bypass coupling interconnection cable connector provided in this embodiment, a cable 3 is installed inside the outer casing 101. The end of the cable 3 near the socket 102 is connected to the core wire via a copper terminal 4 to ensure conductivity. The anti-slip texture 106 on the outer side of the outer casing 101 facilitates gripping. The cable 3 is also installed inside the connector 201. The end of the cable 3 is connected to an intermediate connecting post 6 via a copper terminal 5. The intermediate connecting post 6 is conductive to the copper terminal 4 of the connector 101. A spring-loaded block 206 is installed inside the outer casing 201 near the socket 202, and a retaining ring 211 secures it behind it. The spring 207 has a limiting sleeve 208 with anti-slip texture 212 on its outer side. The limiting sleeve 208 and the outer shell 201 are fixed together by a retaining ring 213 to lock the spring 209. The outer shell 201 has a ball hole 204 near the socket 202. The limiting sleeve 208 has a ball groove 210 corresponding to the position of the ball 205. Holding the connector 1, aligning the insertion port 102 with the socket 202 of the connector 2, and pushing the limiting sleeve 208 away from the socket 202, the guide angle 103 at the edge of the insertion port 102 guides the connector 1 to be inserted smoothly, reducing resistance. During the process, the fixing groove 104 of connector 1 gradually approaches the steel ball 205 of connector 2. When the fixing groove 104 and the steel ball 205 are aligned, the steel ball 205 is embedded in the fixing groove 104, achieving initial locking. After the steel ball 205 is embedded in the fixing groove 104, the limiting sleeve 208 is released. Under the elastic force of the locking spring 209, the limiting sleeve 208 moves towards the socket 202. The steel ball slot 210 of the limiting sleeve 208 aligns with the steel ball 205, further limiting the steel ball 205 in the fixing groove 104 to prevent displacement. The locking spring 209 provides elastic force along the movement direction of the limiting sleeve 208, thereby fixing the steel ball 205. Ring 213 remains stable, ensuring that the limiting sleeve 208 will not slide due to vibration or other factors after locking, thus enhancing the reliability of the connection. The wiring copper post 4 of connector 1 and the intermediate connecting post 6 of connector 2 make contact and conduction, forming a current transmission path. When disassembling, hold the limiting sleeve 208 and pull it away from the socket 202 to compress the locking spring 209, causing the steel ball slot 210 to disengage from the steel ball 205. Hold connector 1 and connector 2, and push the return block 206 under the elastic force of the return spring 207. The return block 206 pushes connector 1, and the smooth structure of the guide angle 103 is used to smoothly pull them out and separate them.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
