[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cable connection socket to solve the problems existing in the prior art and avoid electric shock accidents.
[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-2The connector for cable 19 includes a connector body 1 and a conductive connector housing 2 for grounding, which surrounds the outer periphery of the connector body 1. The housing 2 is made of conductive material, including but not limited to metals such as iron and copper. The outer periphery of the connector body 1 has an annular step protruding radially outward. A metal coating 7 is applied to the surface of the annular step and the outer periphery of the connector body 1, ensuring uniform coating during the application process. An annular groove is provided on the inner periphery of the housing 2. The housing 2 is a separate unit; after the housing 2 is fastened to the outer periphery of the connector body 1, the annular step can fit into the annular groove. The fit between the annular step and the annular groove restricts axial displacement between the housing 2 and the connector body 1, ensuring relative stability of their positions. Furthermore, along the axial direction of the connector body 1, an annular gap is formed between the end face of the annular step and the end face of the annular groove. The number of annular intervals between the grooves is one or two, preferably two, located at both ends of the annular step. A conductive rubber ring 3 is provided within each annular interval, the number of which corresponds to the number of annular intervals. The radial dimension of the conductive rubber ring 3 along the socket body 1 is greater than the radial dimension of the annular interval along the socket body 1, and / or the axial dimension of the conductive rubber ring 3 along the socket body 1 is greater than the axial dimension of the annular interval along the socket body 1. During the process of the socket housing 2 fastening onto the outer periphery of the socket body 1, the annular grooves on the socket housing 2 compress the conductive rubber rings 3, causing them to deform. This ensures that the conductive rubber rings 3 can tightly adhere to the annular grooves, the annular step, and the metal coating 7 on the outer periphery of the socket body 1. Then, the socket housing 2 is connected to the ground wire, achieving a connection between the conductive coating and the ground wire. The voltage between the socket housing 2 and the ground is forcibly reduced to near zero potential, preventing electric shock accidents and improving the safety performance of the connection socket.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific embodiment, both the socket body 1 and the socket shell 2 are cylindrical structures. At least one annular step is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the socket body 1, and a conductive rubber ring 3 is provided on the end face of the annular step. The socket shell 2 is a split structure. An annular groove corresponding to the annular step on the outer circumferential surface of the socket body 1 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the socket shell 2. During the process of the socket shell 2 being fastened to the outer surface of the socket body 1 from both sides, the conductive rubber ring 3 is deformed under the squeezing force of the annular groove until the socket shell 2 is completely fastened.
[0031] The socket body 1 is also provided with a tapered socket 6, and a conductive socket 5 is provided inside the tapered socket 6. When using the connecting socket to connect the cable 19, the cable core 20 is inserted into the conductive socket 5 to achieve the conduction of the cable 19 on both sides of the connecting socket.
[0032] An annular contact point is also provided in the conductive socket 5. After the cable core 20 is inserted into the conductive socket 5, the cable core 20 and the annular contact point realize power transmission. Preferably, the annular contact point is set as an elastic contact point, and the inner diameter of the annular contact point is smaller than the diameter of the cable core 20, so as to ensure stable power transmission between the cable core 20 and the annular contact point.
[0033] The outer circumferential surface of the portion of the socket housing 2 surrounding the conical socket 6 is provided with a first thread 4, which facilitates connection with other structures.
[0034] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 This embodiment also discloses a straight cable splitter, which includes a connector plug and a connector socket. The connector plug includes a plug body 8, and an outer shielding layer 12 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the plug body 8. The function of the outer shielding layer 12 is to ground the induced voltage generated during power transmission by the cable 19, thereby improving the safety performance of the connector plug and protecting the safety of the operator. A through hole is provided inside the plug body 8. A plug stress cone 14 is provided at one end of the through hole, and a tapered interface 18 matching the socket body 1 is provided at the other end for connecting the cable 19. One end of the cable 19 is stripped of its sheath, copper shield, insulation shield, and insulation layer to expose the cable core 20. The cable core 20 is inserted into the through hole and fixed to achieve the connection between the cable 19 and the connector plug. The plug stress cone 14 can improve the problem of electric field concentration at the break of the insulation shield layer of the cable 19 and prevent the cable 19 from breaking down. An inner shielding layer 13 is provided in the middle of the through hole. In order to ensure the connection strength between the cable core 20 and the connector plug, a connector insert 15 is provided at the end of the inner shielding layer 13 facing the conical interface 18 to enhance the connection stability between the connector plug and the cable core 20.
[0035] A limiting block is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer shielding layer 12 near the tapered interface 18. A first plug shell 9 is sleeved on the outer side of the plug body 8 near the plug stress cone 14. The first plug shell 9 wraps around the outer shielding layer 12 to prevent the outer shielding layer 12 from being damaged by external forces, ensure the induced voltage is grounded, and improve the safety performance of the connector. A second plug shell 10 is provided on the end of the first plug shell 9 facing the limiting block. The first plug shell 9 is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the outer shielding layer 12 by the second plug shell 10 and the limiting block. The second plug shell 10 and the first plug shell 9 are fixed by connection methods including but not limited to threaded connections.
[0036] As a preferred technical solution, a limiting screw hole is provided on the outer side of the end of the first plug housing 9, and a limiting hole is provided at the end of the second plug housing 10 facing the first plug housing 9. A set screw is provided in the limiting hole, and the end of the set screw is threaded. After the set screw passes through the limiting hole, it is screwed into the limiting screw hole provided on the first plug housing 9, and a pre-tightening force is applied to ensure a tight connection between the first plug housing 9 and the second plug housing 10.
[0037] Furthermore, the end of the first plug housing 9 abuts against the side of the limiting block, and the second plug housing 10 is engaged with the limiting block. Through the connection between the second plug housing 10 and the first plug housing 9, the first plug housing 9 and the second plug housing 10 are fixed by the limiting block. In addition, the second plug housing 10 extends towards the tapered interface 18, and a socket connector 11 is provided at the end of the second plug housing 10. The inner circumferential surface of the socket connector 11 facing the tapered interface 18 is provided with a second thread. In actual use, the tapered socket 6 on the connector socket is inserted into the tapered interface 18 on the connector socket. The socket connector 11 and the tapered socket 6 are connected by the second thread and the first thread 4, thereby realizing a tight connection between the connector socket and the connector plug.
[0038] To ensure a stable electrical connection between the cable core 20 and the connector plug, the connector plug is also equipped with a terminal block 16 and a conductive rod 21. The cable core 20 is inserted into the terminal block 16 and pressed down to ensure a fixed connection between the cable core 20 and the terminal block 16. Then, the terminal block 16 is inserted into the connector plug. The terminal block 16 is located on the side of the connector insert 15 facing the plug stress cone 14, so that one end of the terminal block 16 abuts against the connector insert 15, ensuring that the terminal block 16 is located inside the inner shielding layer 13. The conductive rod 21 is located on the side of the connector insert 15 facing the tapered interface 18. One end of the conductive rod 21 passes through the connector insert 15 and is fixedly connected to the terminal block 16 to fix the terminal block 16 inside the connector plug. After the cable 19 is fixedly connected to the connector plug, the tapered socket 6 on the connector socket is inserted into the tapered interface 18 on the connector plug, and the other end of the conductive rod 21 is inserted into the conductive socket 5 to realize the electrical connection between the connector socket and the connector plug.
[0039] To ensure the connection strength between the connector and the socket, an annular limiting groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the end of the second connector housing 10 facing the tapered interface 18. A retaining spring 17 is provided in the annular limiting groove. When the connector and the socket housing 2 are connected by threads, as the first thread 4 and the second thread are tightened, the retaining spring 17 provided between the second connector housing 10 and the socket connector 11 undergoes elastic deformation, providing pre-tightening force for the connection between the first thread 4 and the second thread, and preventing loosening between the first thread 4 and the second thread.
[0040] Any adaptive changes made according to actual needs are within the protection scope of this utility model.
