Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The linear connecting portion for a cable according to the present invention is used for connecting ends of cables such as a power cable for supplying electric power to various machinery such as a tunnel boring machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, at a tunnel construction site, electric power is supplied from a generator or the like installed outside the tunnel to a tunnel boring machine installed at a deep end (digging site) of the tunnel. In this case, the distance from the generator or the like to the tunnel boring machine reaches several tens of meters to several kilometers,
Moreover, it becomes longer gradually as the excavation work of the tunnel progresses. On the other hand, it is necessary to connect a cable that is long enough to continue power supply from the generator etc. to the tunnel boring machine until the excavation work is completed (until the tunnel penetrates) immediately after the start of tunnel excavation. Is not practical because it interferes with other tasks. Therefore, it is necessary to connect a large number of cables in series with each other as the excavation operation proceeds. This work is performed by separating the connection between the cable at the end and the cable attached to the tunnel boring machine, and connecting a new cable between these two cables.

In order to minimize the downtime of the tunnel boring machine and to improve the efficiency of tunnel excavation work,
It is necessary to efficiently separate and connect the above cables. For this purpose, a straight connection portion for a cable as shown in FIG. 11 has been conventionally used. In the case of this conventional structure, the ends of a pair of cables 1 to be connected are
As shown in FIG. 12, cable-side connectors 2 and 2 having the same structure are connected, and both cable-side connectors 2 and 2 are connected to each other via an intermediate connector 3 as shown in FIG. The cable conductors 4 constituting the cables 1 and 1 are configured to be conductive. As shown in FIG. 12, a holding band 5 is externally fitted to the end of each of the cable side connectors 2 and 2, and the holding band 5 is fitted in a state where both cable side connectors 2 and 2 are fitted to the intermediate connector 3. By tightening the band 5, separation between the cable-side connectors 2 and 2 and the intermediate connector 3 is prevented.

[0004]

In the case of the conventional structure constructed as described above, a pair of cables 1 and a cable conductor 4 of 1 are provided.
Since the cable side connectors 2 and 2 are connected to both ends of the intermediate connector 3 in order to make them conductive, not only the number of parts increases but also the connection work must be performed for two places, which is troublesome. .

Further, the holding force against the pulling force is not always sufficient. In other words, in the case of a power cable installed in a construction site such as in a tunnel, a force in the pulling direction may be applied for some reason. The structure must not come off. In the case of the retaining structure using the holding band 5 as in the conventional structure, when the above-described force in the pulling direction is applied, a large force is applied to the portion where the holding band 5 is externally fitted, and this portion may be broken. For example, there is a possibility that sufficient holding power cannot be obtained.
In view of such circumstances, the straight-line connecting portion for a cable according to the present invention has been invented in order to realize a structure that is light in weight, can easily perform an assembling operation, and can reliably prevent the cable from coming off.

[0006]
