[0002] Existing pluggable cable connectors, such as the pluggable cable connector with patent number CN102377046B, although solving the problems of poor mechanical strength, insufficient waterproof and flame retardant performance and safety of traditional silicone rubber structure cable pluggable joints, require the injection of fluid insulating material into the guide cone for potting during the installation process. After curing, it is difficult to separate the power cable from the guide cone, making it very inconvenient for subsequent replacement, inspection and maintenance of the power cable. Moreover, after curing, the guide cone cannot be disassembled and reused, which is inconvenient for users and increases costs.
[0003] Furthermore, during the manual injection and curing of fluid insulating material into the guide cone, defects such as voids, bubbles, or impurities inevitably occur, leaving safety hazards. As the operating voltage level increases, excessive partial discharge may damage the insulating material, leading to malfunctions. Therefore, cable connectors with the above structure are generally only suitable for use on power equipment with lower voltage levels.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an internal tapered pluggable cable connector to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The segmented design of the first terminal post 222a, the second terminal post 222b, and the terminal threaded portion 222c provides a flexible connection method, facilitating installation and maintenance. The contact between the conductive spring contact finger 223b and the contact hole 121a ensures the stability and reliability of the connection, while providing good conductivity. This design enables the cable connector to operate stably at different voltage levels, improving its applicability and versatility.
[0056] like Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the cable plug-in body 2 also includes a stress cone 23 sleeved on the power cable 221. The stress cone 23 includes a stress support 231 and a stress column 232 connected to each other.

[0060] It should be noted that the addition of the sealing cone 24 further enhances the sealing performance between the cable plug 2 and the base 1, preventing the intrusion of moisture and dust, and improving the connector's waterproof and dustproof capabilities. The tight contact between the sealing cone 24 and the inner wall of the connecting post 12 ensures the sealing and reliability of the connection, extending the service life of the cable connector.
[0061] like Figure 5 and Figure 11 As shown, the cable plug-in body 2 also includes a heat-shrink tubing 25. The heat-shrink tubing 25 comprises a cable sleeve 251 and a handle sleeve 252 connected to each other.

The design of the cable sleeve 251 and the handle sleeve 252 respectively protects the power cable 221 and the insulating handle 21, preventing the external environment from affecting the cable connector and improving its stability and reliability in harsh environments.
[0062] Regarding material selection, the preferred materials are:
[0063] The stress cone 23 and sealing cone 24 are made of silicone rubber, which has good insulation properties and flexibility, enabling it to adapt to different installation environments and mechanical stresses. The aging resistance and chemical corrosion resistance of silicone rubber further improve the service life and reliability of the cable connector.
[0064] The fixed contact 121, terminal block 222, plug device 223 and metal sleeve 213 are all made of conductive metal (such as copper alloy) and have silver-plated surfaces to ensure good conductivity and mechanical strength.
