[0002] Leaky cable connectors are joints used to connect leaky cables (leaky cables). They are commonly referred to as leaky cable connectors or feeder connectors. These connectors play an important role in communication systems, especially in narrow spaces where signal coverage is required, such as subway tunnels.

[0003] Currently, leaky cable connectors are a critical node in trackside communication systems. Traditional connector structures typically employ traditional tape and putty wrapping techniques, but these techniques are prone to water seepage due to construction errors. Furthermore, the moisture inside the connector cannot escape, easily leading to condensation and causing short circuits in the equipment, which severely affects the connector's service life. To address these issues, we propose an air-extraction and waterproof structure for leaky cable connectors. Utility Model Content

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 As shown.

[0023] A leaky cable connector with a vacuum and waterproof structure includes a main shell 1, a first conical sealing sleeve 2 on the outer surface of the main shell 1, a leaky cable body 3 on the outer surface of the main shell 1, a top cover 101 and a base 102, a first conical sealing sleeve 204 including a first conical sleeve body 204, a first sealing ring 201 on the outer surface of the main shell 1, and a mounting post 202 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main shell 1. The interior of the first conical sleeve body 204 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting post 202, and epoxy sealant 203 is filled between the interior of the first conical sealing sleeve 2 and the outer surface of the leaky cable body 3. The main shell 1 is composed of a top cover 101 and a base 102, and adopts a split design. The first sealing ring 201 and the mounting post 202 adopt a modular design, which facilitates the installation and maintenance of the equipment and improves construction efficiency. At the same time, the first sealing ring 201 ensures the waterproof isolation between the main body shell 1 and the external environment. The first conical sealing sleeve 2 includes the first conical sleeve body 204, which is internally threaded to the mounting post 202. The space between the sleeve and the leaky cable body 3 is filled with epoxy sealant 203. The threaded connection facilitates the adjustment of the sealing tightness to accommodate different wire diameters. The use of epoxy sealant 203 to fill the gaps can prevent water seepage and effectively improve the waterproof performance of the equipment. The leaky cable body 3 passes through the first conical sealing sleeve 2 and enters the main body shell 1, which will ensure the continuity of signal transmission and effectively reduce the impact of mechanical stress.

[0024] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the main shell 1 is provided with an air extraction pipe 7, the outer surface of the upper cover 101 is provided with a cavity 103, a temperature sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper cover 101, a probe 501 penetrating the upper cover 101 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the temperature sensor 5, a miniature vacuum pump 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the upper cover 101, the output end of the miniature vacuum pump 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the air extraction pipe 7 away from the upper cover 101, a normally closed solenoid valve 701 is provided on the outer surface of the air extraction pipe 7, a check valve 702 is fixedly connected to the end of the air extraction pipe 7 away from the miniature vacuum pump 6, and a pressure relief valve 4 is provided on the outer surface of the upper cover 101. The air extraction pipe 7 is connected to the miniature vacuum pump 6. The vacuum pump 6, with an external normally closed solenoid valve 701 and check valve 702 connected to the cavity 103, pumps out moisture to prevent condensation buildup. The normally closed solenoid valve 701 precisely regulates the airflow, and the check valve 702 prevents moisture backflow. A temperature sensor 5 is fixed to the top cover 101, with its probe 501 extending into the cavity 103 to monitor internal temperature changes in real time, preventing overheating or condensation risks. The output of the miniature vacuum pump 6 is connected to the extraction pipe 7 to actively maintain the dryness of the cavity 103 and extend the equipment's lifespan. A pressure relief valve 4 is located on the outer surface of the top cover 101 to automatically adjust the pressure in the cavity 103, preventing damage to the structure from negative or overpressure.

[0025] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the main body shell 1 is provided with a second conical sealing sleeve 8, the outer surface of the main body shell 1 is provided with a groundless mounting area 9, the outer surface of the groundless mounting area 9 is provided with a jumper wire 901, the second conical sealing sleeve 8 includes a second conical sleeve body 804, the outer surface of the base 102 is fixedly connected with a mating block 802, the outer surface of the mating block 802 is tightly fitted with the interior of the second conical sleeve body 804, the interior of the second conical sleeve body 804 is provided with sealing material 803, the sealing material 803 is tightly fitted with the outer surface of the jumper wire 901, the outer surface of the base 102 is fixedly connected with an mounting block 801, the outer surface of the upper cover 101 is provided with a second sealing ring 805, the interior of the upper cover 101 is provided with a mounting groove 806, the size of the mounting groove 806 is adapted to the mounting block 801, and the second sealing ring 805 is provided with a second sealing ring 805. The double-conical sealing sleeve 8 includes a second conical sleeve body 804, filled with sealing material 803. It is tightly fitted to the base 102 via a mating block 802. The sealing material 803 is adapted to the outer surface of the jumper 901 to ensure seamless waterproofing and facilitate the replacement or maintenance of the jumper 901. The outer surface of the grounding clip-free installation area 9 is connected to the jumper 901. The absence of a traditional grounding clip structure avoids mechanical damage caused by grounding clips and improves the reliability of the joint. The jumper 901 passes through the second conical sealing sleeve 8 and fits against the sealing material 803, which can reduce the impact of vibration or bending on signal transmission. The mounting block 801 is fixed to the base 102 and is adapted to the mounting groove 806 of the upper cover 101. The snap-fit ​​connection simplifies the installation process. The second sealing ring 805 enhances the overall sealing performance.

[0026] Working principle: When installing this leaky cable connector, the main body 3 of the leaky cable is first passed through the first conical sealing sleeve 2 and sealed with epoxy sealant 203. The sleeve is fixed by the mounting post 202. Then, the jumper 901 is pressed and sealed by the sealing material 803 in the second conical sealing sleeve 8. Then, the cavity 103 of the main body shell 1 is evacuated by the micro vacuum pump 6 to form a negative pressure. The moisture is discharged through the evacuation pipe 7. The check valve 702 is used to prevent backflow. The internal temperature is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 5 and the pressure relief valve 4 is used to adjust the pressure. Finally, a stable connection that is waterproof, moisture-proof and can actively dehumidify is achieved.

[0027] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
