Development status of sealing technology for deep-sea underwater connector
The underwater connector is one of the key universal supporting components for marine equipment,ensuring the supply of energy and transmission of signals for deep-sea detectors in the process of exploring marine resources.In this article,the development history of underwater connector,the types of underwater connectors at home and abroad,the production and manufacturing processes,enterprises and application scenarios were introduced,the research progress of sealing technology between encapsulating insulation materials and metal conductors in underwater connector was emphatically elaborated.Based on the characteristics of materials science,the selection of insulation materials,sealing molding processes,and research progress in three types of underwater connectors,i.e.rubber type underwater connector,glass sintered underwater connector,and plastic type underwater connector were reviewed,providing a reference for the comprehensive understanding of sealing technology in underwater connector.Finally,the future development of underwater connector was prospected.
