Figure 2 The locking part of the middle strap 112 has not yet been fixed to the funnel positioning hole 111; Figure 3 The locking part of the central strap 112 has been fixed to the funnel positioning hole 111, and the adhesive injection funnel 21 has been assembled into the funnel positioning hole 111.

[0028] As shown in the figure, the integrated mold 1 for connecting or repairing cable 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mold shell 11 made of flexible material. The mold shell 11 is sheet-shaped and configured to be wound and wrapped around the connection or repair section of the cable 3 to form a sealed space for receiving adhesive. The mold shell 11 has at least one funnel positioning hole 111, which is configured to fix an adhesive injection funnel 21. Furthermore, at least one strap 112 is provided on one side edge of the mold shell 11. The strap 112 is integrally formed with the mold shell 11 and is configured to surround and lock the mold shell 11 after the cable 3 is wrapped around it. This design integrates the strap 112 with the mold shell 11, preventing individual straps 112 from being lost or tangled with other straps 112, thus avoiding assembly difficulties.

[0029] The mold shell 11, the funnel positioning hole 111, and the strap 112 are manufactured into a single integral part through a stamping or molding process, thereby reducing production costs. Typically, the thickness of the sheet-like mold shell 11 is 0.7-0.9 mm; however, as those skilled in the art will know, the thickness of the sheet-like mold shell 11 is not limited to this, as long as it is less than 1 mm.

[0030] The binding strap 112 is made of the same material as the mold housing 11. Typically, both the mold housing 11 and the binding strap 112 are made of polyethylene; however, those skilled in the art will know that other materials are also acceptable, as long as they possess a certain degree of flexibility and are impermeable to liquids.

[0031] The free end of the strap 112 has a plurality of locking parts distributed along the length of the strap 112. The locking parts are configured to interact with the funnel positioning hole 111. By interacting different locking parts with the funnel positioning hole 111, the diameter of the sealed space formed by the mold shell 11 is adjusted.

[0032] The locking part is a series of holes 113 formed at the free end of the strap 112. The periphery of the funnel positioning hole 111 is provided with a flange 114.
