Detailed Description
For a better understanding of the present invention, the following examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
The glass-metal sealed electric penetration piece of the invention, referring to fig. 1, comprises a metal shell 1, sealing glass 2, a metal inner tube 3, a connecting conductor 4 and a metal solder 5.
The metal case 1 has a tubular structure with two ends penetrating through, and is made of stainless steel. The metal inner tube 3 is arranged in the metal shell 1 in a penetrating way and is fixedly connected in a sealing way through the sealing glass 2.
The metal inner tube 3 has a tubular structure with both ends penetrating therethrough, and is made of 4J50 iron-nickel alloy (resistivity 0.43 [ mu ] omega · m). Stepped holes are respectively arranged on the inner walls of the two ends of the metal inner pipe 3, and the inner diameter of each stepped hole is larger than that of the metal inner pipe 3 between the stepped holes at the two ends. The depth of the stepped hole is more than 5mm. An internal thread is arranged on the inner wall of the metal inner tube 3 between the stepped holes at the two ends, and the length of the thread is 20-100mm greater than the width of the metal shell 1, so that when the metal inner tube 3 is arranged in the metal shell 1 in a penetrating manner, the internal thread structure of the metal inner tube 3 penetrates through the width of the metal shell 1 and extends out of the metal shell 1. For the purpose of thread tightness, the internal thread of the metal inner tube 3 is generally of a fine-pitch internal thread structure. An annular groove 31 having a certain depth is formed in the side wall of the stepped hole along the circumferential direction.
The connecting conductor 4 is a round bar structure, and is made of oxygen-free copper or iron-based material with copper alloy wrapped inside. The connecting conductor 4 is provided with external threads, and equal distances are reserved between two ends of the external threads and two ends of the connecting conductor 4. The length of the external thread of the connecting conductor 4 is slightly shorter than that of the internal thread of the metal inner pipe 3 by 5-20mm. The external thread on the connecting conductor 4 is a fine thread. The external thread of the connecting conductor 4 is the same as the nominal diameter of the internal thread of the metal inner pipe 3, and is M5-M100.
The connecting conductor 4 penetrates through the metal inner pipe 3 and is in threaded connection 32 with the metal inner pipe 3, and two ends of the connecting conductor 4 are symmetrically positioned on the outer sides of two ends of the metal inner pipe 3. The fine thread has good self-locking performance and air tightness, so that the sealing performance can be further improved.
The connection conductor 4 and the stepped hole of the metal inner tube 3 are welded and fixed by the metal solder 5, and the connection contact surface between the connection conductor 4 and the metal inner tube 3 is further sealed. The material of the metal solder 5 is silver-copper-palladium alloy. Because the annular groove is formed in the side wall of the stepped hole, the annular groove is filled with the solder when the solder is welded, so that the position of the solder at the stepped hole is limited, and the welding firmness and the sealing strength are improved.
The glass-metal sealed electric penetration piece is combined with a sealing structure with metal solders arranged at two ends of a metal inner tube and a connecting conductor through the threaded connection between the metal inner tube 3 penetrating the width of a metal shell 1 and the connecting conductor 4, and has high sealing strength and good sealing effect.
The glass-metal sealed electrical penetration assembly of the present invention is prepared by the following steps:
s1: preparing a metal shell 1, sealing glass 2, a metal inner tube 3, a connecting conductor 4 and metal solder 5 with required specifications according to requirements;
s2: connecting the metal inner tube 3 and the connecting conductor 4 through a thread structure, placing metal solder 5 at the stepped hole, and positioning by using a graphite clamp;
s3: assembling a metal shell 1, sealing glass 2 and a metal inner tube-connecting conductor filled with metal solder 5 on a sintering mold, wherein the metal inner tube 3 penetrates through the inner diameter of the sealing glass 2, and then sleeving the metal shell 1 at the outer diameter of the sealing glass 2 to form compression sealing;
s4: putting the assembled workpiece into a sintering furnace for melt sealing, wherein the process can simultaneously carry out melt sealing of glass and metal, and solder and metal; the sintering furnace adopted in the sealing process is a mesh belt chain furnace, the sintering temperature is 950-1000 ℃, the heat preservation time is 10-20 min, and then the temperature reduction annealing treatment is carried out gradually in the temperature range of 850-650-450-250 ℃, so that the stress existing in the sintering process can be effectively released.
