[0021] In this document, when it is mentioned that a first component is located on a second component, this can mean that the first component can be directly formed on the second component, or that a third component can be inserted between the first and second components. Furthermore, in the accompanying drawings, the thickness of the components may be exaggerated or reduced for the purpose of effectively describing the technical content.

[0022] In this document, when an element or layer is referred to as “located,” “joined to,” “connected to,” “attached to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly located, joined, connected, attached to, or coupled to the other element or layer, or there may be intermediate elements or layers present. Conversely, when an element is referred to as “directly on another element or layer,” “directly joined to,” “directly connected to,” “directly attached to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there may be no intermediate elements or layers present. Other terms used to describe relationships between elements should be interpreted in a similar manner (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.). As used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0023] In this document, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. As used herein, expressions such as “at least one of…” modify the entire list of elements when following a list of elements, rather than individual elements in the list.

[0026] Research has revealed that due to the renovation of old power lines, it is often necessary to connect the ends of two cable segments during the renovation process. However, the diameter of the central connection channel of existing cable connectors is fixed, which is suitable for two cable segments with the same diameter. If the two cable segments have different diameters, it is difficult to effectively connect the two cable segments using existing cable connectors.

[0027] Based on the above research, this disclosure provides a connection device and cable connector for high-voltage cables. By providing a ring connector and a tapered connection position in the center of the ring connector to connect two through channels with different diameters inside the ring connector, it can meet the requirement of connecting two cables with different diameters.

[0028] The shortcomings of the above solutions are the result of the inventor's practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the above problems and the solutions proposed in this disclosure should be considered as the inventor's contribution to this disclosure.

[0029] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0030] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, for two cables 2 and 3 of different diameters, the operator peels off the insulation layers (21, 31) at the ends of the two cables that need to be connected, exposing the first battery cell 20 and the second battery cell 30. The two battery cells (20, 30) are then inserted from both ends of the ring connector 1 to form a connection as shown. Figure 1 In the state shown, the diameter of the first through channel 13 matches the diameter of the first insulation layer 21 in the first cable 2, and the diameter of the second through channel 14 matches the diameter of the second insulation layer 31 in the second cable 3. Two battery cores (20, 30) with different diameters are respectively inserted into the first battery core insertion position and the second battery core insertion position 104 in the cable connector 10 and connected inside the tapered part 100. A transition crimping sleeve can be provided inside the tapered part 100. After the first battery core 20 and the second battery core 30 are inserted, they are fixed by hydraulic crimping. In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the shielding tube 12 is located in the center of the ring connector 1 and the cable connector 10 is located in the center of the shielding tube 12. When the two battery cores (20, 30) are connected, the shielding tube 12 is at a high potential. As shown in the figure, the part of the shielding tube 12 outside the second battery core 30 (i.e. the smaller diameter cable core of the two cable segments) is inserted into the annular insulating layer 11 of the ring connector 1 and wrapped by insulating material, which directly extends the distance between the high potential and the ground and reduces the risk of internal creepage. The joint stress cones 16 inside both ends of the ring connector 1 are made of rubber material, preferably silicone rubber, and the joint stress cones 16 are conical in shape. Their inclined surfaces guide the electric field lines from high potential to low potential, avoiding electric field concentration that could lead to partial discharge or breakdown.

[0032] In the description of the embodiments of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first," "second," and other numerical terms used herein do not imply order or sequence unless expressly indicated herein. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the exemplary embodiments, the first element, component, region, layer, or segment discussed above may be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or segment.

[0034] Spatially relative terms, such as “inside,” “outside,” “below,” “below,” “down,” “above,” “up,” etc., may be used herein to describe the relationship between one element or feature illustrated in the figures and another element or feature. In addition to the orientations depicted in the figures, spatially relative terms may be intended to cover different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, an element described as “below” or “below” other elements or features would be oriented as “above” other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can cover both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0035] In the above discussion, unless otherwise stated, when used to describe numerical values, the terms “about,” “approximately,” “basically,” etc., indicate a change of + / - 10% in that value.

[0036] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
