Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic cables, and more particularly to a method and equipment for processing an extra-long adjustment sleeve for a photovoltaic cable. Background Art

[0002] The photovoltaic cable adjustment sleeve is generally used to adjust the cable length during the installation of photovoltaic cables. It is an important component of photovoltaic cables. Figure 1 As shown, the structure of the adjusting sleeve A is a slender sleeve with internal threads B at both ends.

[0003] The conventional manufacturing method is to use a seamless steel pipe of appropriate size, turn the inner cavity of the sleeve, and then process the internal threads at both ends. This conventional processing technology has the following shortcomings:

[0004] 1. Low material utilization rate. The sleeve wall thickness needs to be cut according to the size of the internal thread B at both ends, and the inner cavity C in the middle of the sleeve needs to be cut away, resulting in material waste;

[0005] 2. The processing efficiency is low. During processing, the inner cavity in the middle of the sleeve needs to be cut. Generally, the inner diameter of the photovoltaic sleeve is small, and it is difficult to process slender blind holes, resulting in low processing efficiency.

[0006] 3. The adjustment amount of the adjustment sleeve is limited. Photovoltaic cables are generally long, usually 800-1000 meters. The longer the cable, the greater the manufacturing and installation errors, and the greater the adjustment amount required for the cable. The length of the adjustment sleeve is the key parameter for the cable to achieve adjustment. Due to the processing technology for slender holes, the length of the adjustment sleeve cannot be made very long. The existing conventional processing method can process an adjustment sleeve with a length of about 250-300mm at most, and the adjustment amount of the adjustment sleeve has great limitations. The current solution is that a photovoltaic cable needs to be equipped with two or more adjustment sleeves to meet the adjustment amount requirements of the cable. For example, the actual length to be adjusted is 500mm, but the current processing method cannot process a 500mm adjustment sleeve. In this case, two 260mm adjustment sleeves are needed.
