DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0011] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a nuclear power harness that is resistant to high temperature, moisture and heat, radiation, tension and vibration, including a tail accessory 2 matched with a nuclear power socket 1, and a metal bellows 5 matched with the tail accessory 2, a cabled conductor 3 is arranged in the metal bellows 5, and the cabled conductor 3 is matched with the metal bellows 5 through a radiation-resistant high-temperature potting glue 4.
[0012] Preferably, the metal bellows 5 is made of stainless steel.
[0013] Preferably, 360° circumferential laser welding is performed at the joints between the nuclear power socket 1 and the tail attachment 2 , and between the tail attachment 2 and the metal bellows 5 .
[0014] Preferably, a shielding ring 6 is also included, which is connected to the cabled conductor 3 and is sleeved on the outside of the connector and is tightened by a nut 7 .
[0015] Preferably, the tail accessory is a wire clamp type, which cooperates with the tail nut. A shielding ring is arranged outside the wire clamp of the tail accessory, and the shielding layer 8 of the wire contacts the shielding ring after being turned out by the wire clamp, and then clamped by the nut, thereby improving the shielding ability and radiation resistance.
[0016] In the present invention, by selecting stainless steel bellows as the main material for external protection, it plays the role of high temperature resistance and radiation resistance (up to 2MGy); stainless steel material is combined with the bellows structure to improve the mechanical properties of the wiring harness, so that the wiring harness has a certain degree of softness and tensile and vibration resistance; the connector (socket) uses stainless steel as the main shell material, combined with the sealing method of the phenyl ether support sealing ring, which greatly improves the radiation resistance of the connector product. In order to reduce the volume of the connector while ensuring a sufficient number of contact definitions, the contact body welding cup arrangement adopts a "tower-type" structure to improve the weldability of the connector and the wire; the connector adds a protective cover structure to achieve a 10-meter water depth seal after the product is covered with a protective cover; the laser welding process is applied to the wiring harness product, and a 360° laser welding is performed at the junction of the connector and the tail attachment, and the tail attachment and the bellows to ensure the sealing of the wiring harness. The inside of the wiring harness adopts a double-layer potting process, first using epoxy resin to fix the bottom layer, and then potting the radiation-resistant glue to protect the welding point from stress.
[0017] The present invention is further described below by way of examples.
[0018] Embodiment: This embodiment provides a nuclear power harness that is resistant to high temperature, moisture and heat, radiation, tension and vibration. A stainless steel bellows is selected as the harness external protection system, and laser welding technology and internal sealing technology are used to make the nuclear power harness reach the IP68 protection level, improve the connection reliability, and enhance the radiation resistance level.
[0019] The wire harness structure is a stainless steel metal corrugated tube with cable conductors. This structure has the advantages of good mechanical properties, electromagnetic shielding performance, small bending radius, strong corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, good elasticity, etc. At the same time, the stainless steel corrugated tube is an integrated structure with good sealing performance. The air tightness index can reach a leakage rate of ≤1×10-5Pa·m 3 / s.
[0020] In order to meet the environmental, electrical and installation requirements of nuclear power harnesses, a special connector for nuclear power is designed. Stainless steel is selected as the shell material, and the connector rubber parts are made of phenylene ether silicone rubber. Phenylene ether silicone rubber contains more phenyl groups and has good radiation resistance. In order to reduce the size of the connector while ensuring a sufficient number of contact definitions, the contact body welding cup arrangement adopts a "tower-type" structure, which greatly compresses the radial size of the connector, while increasing the welding operation space and improving the weldability of the connector.
[0021] Laser welding is performed at the joints between the connector and the tail attachment, and between the tail attachment and the bellows, to achieve a sealed connection between the metal bellows and the connector as a whole, ensuring the product's good air tightness and electromagnetic shielding. 360° circular laser welding is used in the wiring harness processing process, and a limit step design is performed at the joint between the connector and the tail attachment, and the contact position between the connector and the tail attachment is flush, which improves the efficiency of laser welding, changes filler welding to fusion welding, makes the welding joint position more solid, and improves the appearance quality of the welding position.
[0022] The tail accessories of the wiring harness use wire clamp type shielded tail accessories. This type of tail accessories can not only squeeze the wire clamp after tightening the external cap, clamp the shielding layer of the wiring harness to prevent the wire termination point from being stressed, but also make the shielding layer of the wiring harness 360° connected to the shell, thereby improving the cable's ability to resist electromagnetic interference.
[0023] To ensure the shielding effect, the wire harness adopts an inner and outer double-layer shielding system: the outer layer is protected by stainless steel bellows and metal hard tubes. The bellows is an integrated structure. The tail accessories and the stainless steel bellows and the connector shell are connected by laser welding to form an outer shielding layer with a shielding density of up to 100%. Radiation-resistant shielded wires are used inside the wire harness. The wire shielding layer and the tail accessories are compressed by shielding rings and tail nuts to form an inner shielding system.
[0024] The above embodiments are only used to help understand the method and core idea of this patent; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of this patent, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as limiting this patent.
