See also: Figure 1 —9: A water pump with a waterproof quick-connect cable structure includes a cable 1, a motor housing 2, an upper bearing seat 3 disposed on the upper end of the motor housing 2, and a top cover 4 pressed onto the upper bearing seat 3. The top cover 4 is hollow and open at the lower end. A control board 5 mounted on the upper bearing seat 3 is disposed inside the top cover 4. The cable 1 includes multiple conductors 1a, each conductor 1a is covered with an insulation layer to form a wire core 1b, and the multiple wire cores 1b are covered with a protective layer to form a cable. A rubber sheath 6 is provided through the upper end of the top cover 4, and the upper end of the rubber sheath 6 has a large hole for installing the cable 1. The sheath 6 has multiple small holes in the middle for installing the wire core 1b. The lower end of the rubber sheath 6 has conductors 7 in number and position that match the conductor 1a. The upper end of the conductor 7 has a socket 8 for inserting the conductor 1a. A gap is left between the lower surface of the conductor 1a and the inner end face of the socket 8 to form a liquid storage tank 9. The control board 5 has conductors 10 in number and position that match the conductors 7. The lower end of the conductor 7 extends out of the rubber sheath 6 and is inserted into the conductor 10. The rubber sheath 6 is formed by vulcanization outside the cable 1, the wire core 1b and the conductor 7.

[0037] The installation process of the cable 1 and rubber sheath 6 of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-9 As shown, the outer protective layer of cable 1 is stripped by 15-20mm to expose the core 1b. Then, the insulation layer of each core 1b is stripped by 5-8mm to expose the conductor 1a. Next, the conductor 1a is inserted into the corresponding socket 8 of the conductor 7. The conductor 1a is pressed tightly using a terminal crimping machine, and it is not allowed to come loose. Finally, a rubber sheath 6 is formed on the outside of cable 1, core 1b, and conductor 7 through rubber vulcanization.

[0038] This invention inserts the conductor 1a of cable 1 into the insertion hole 8 of conductor 7. The rubber sheath 6 is formed by vulcanization on the outside of cable 1, core 1b, and conductor 7. When the protective layer of cable 1 is damaged, water is prevented above the inner end face of the large hole in the rubber sheath 6, effectively preventing water from entering the top cover 4. When both the protective layer and the insulation layer of cable 1 are damaged, water enters the insertion hole 8 through conductor 1a and is stored in the liquid storage tank 9, preventing further flow into the top cover 4, effectively reducing the risk of burn-out and improving the service life of the water pump. The conductor 7 and conductor 10 of this invention are plugged in, making the installation and connection of cable 1 convenient and improving installation efficiency.

During maintenance, the cable 1 can be quickly replaced simply by removing the handle 13 without disassembling the top cover, thus preventing damage to the seal between the top cover 4 and the upper bearing seat 3, making maintenance convenient. At the same time, the handle 13 can be used to move and transport the water pump, and also serves to press the seal.

[0055] To prevent water from entering between the top cover 4 and the upper bearing seat 3, the upper surface of the upper bearing seat 3 is raised to form an assembly boss 19. The lower end of the top cover 4 is fitted onto the assembly boss 19. The inner side wall of the top cover 4 is recessed to form an annular groove. An O-ring 20 fitted onto the assembly boss 19 is provided in the annular groove.
