Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of submarine power transmission equipment technology, and in particular to a submarine pressure-resistant self-sealing cable junction box. Background Technology
[0002] Submarine cables are conductors wrapped in insulated materials and laid on the seabed to establish telecommunications transmission between countries. Submarine cables are mainly divided into two types: submarine communication cables and submarine power cables. Submarine communication cables are primarily used to transmit telephone and internet signals and are the most important information carriers in modern international communication; while submarine power cables are mainly used for transmitting high-power electrical energy underwater.
[0003] In existing technologies, submarine power or communication uses submarine cables. However, existing submarine cables are affected by external factors or cable end interfaces, resulting in cable connection gaps. Cable connection gaps need to be protected by cable junction boxes. However, during use, the ports of existing submarine cable junction boxes are affected by the impact and corrosion of external seawater, which reduces the sealing performance of the cable junction boxes and shortens their service life. Utility Model Content
