Low-melting-point metal cable connector
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of low-melting-point metal cable connector, it adopts low-melting-point metal as the conducting medium of cable, achieve being flexible coupling between cable, the cable core of avoiding the mode stube cables such as cable machinery clamping to cause damages, and resistance is excessive and problem that caloric value is too high.
Background technology
Cable splice is the important component part in communication line construction, because the reasons such as external force damage, humidified insulation, chemical corrosion and running overload usually cause cable fault, not impaired in order to ensure communication function, need to continue to the cable broken down in time.Common connecting method has mechanical snap and high-temperature soldering two kinds.Cable core to be continued is fixed together by mechanical force by mechanical snap, and this kind of method is simple to operate, but the more difficult assurance of mechanical stress intensity, be easy to occur secondary break or loose contact phenomenon.High-temperature soldering adopts the high-temperature solders such as traditional solder stick, at high temperature will treat spliced cables seamless link.Compared to mechanical snap method, high-temperature soldering reliability is higher, but high-temperature soldering operating temperature is all more than 100 DEG C, and not only power consumption is large, and usually causes the damage of heart yearn and insulating barrier, affects welding quality, causes secondary failure.
Normal cable structure generally comprises inner heart yearn, insulated hull and outer field screen from inside to outside.The step continued also generally comprises two steps: core splice and cable metallic screens layer continue.Continuing of current heart yearn general adopts metal copper ring clamping or the welding of heart yearn lap, and metal screen layer continues and generally adopts one section of shielding copper mesh both sides to be treated the outer shield layer of spliced cables is connected, and is also the method adopting mechanical snap usually.When adopting metal copper ring clamping, cable and copper ring, are all hard contact between cable and cable, the air gap between them will be very large, thus contact resistance becomes large, and the caloric value caused thus is also immeasurable, and this will directly affect the life-span of cable.When adopting the welding of heart yearn lap, although reduce the air gap between cable, need to operate in high temperature environments in welding process, not only operating environment is harsh, and operation is slightly improper, just the personal safety of likely entail dangers to constructor.
In order to solve the series of problems in above-mentioned traditional connecting method, the present invention proposes a kind of low-melting-point metal cable connector.
