Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cable welding equipment, and in particular to a pre-cooling end heating cable connection section welding device and a welding process thereof. Background Art

[0002] Mineral insulated cable is a cable with a copper conductor core wrapped in a copper sheath and magnesium oxide powder as an inorganic insulating material to isolate the conductor and the sheath. The outermost layer can be selected as required with an appropriate protective sheath, commonly known as MICC or MI cable. There is a similar cable that uses metal instead of copper sheath to wrap the core and insulating material, called mineral insulated metal sheathed cable.

[0003] At present, when mineral insulated heating cables are laid, they must be connected through their mineral insulated cables and cold end lines. The cold end is the transition section connecting the heating cable and the transmission cable. Generally, wiring mineral insulated cables are used as cold end connecting lines. At the connection points, welding protective sleeves are required for insulation protection.

[0004] In the related technology, manual welding is mostly used during welding. However, manual welding has insufficient control accuracy over current, voltage and welding speed, which can easily lead to local overheating or insufficient penetration, causing defects such as incomplete weld penetration and undercut, reducing the mechanical strength of the joint. In addition, the weld quality fluctuates greatly. Differences in operator skills can easily cause weld size deviations (such as uneven height and width) and surface roughness, increase the risk of pores and slag inclusions, and affect sealing and pressure resistance. At the same time, high welding temperature can easily lead to sensitization of the stainless steel sheath or phase change of the magnesium oxide insulation layer, reducing the insulation performance of the cable. In addition, manual welding is slow, and there are many intermediate joints in the mineral cable (frequent welding is required for long-distance laying), which leads to extended construction period and increased labor costs.
