  • Publication number: 20220021334
    Abstract: An integrated photovoltaic cable having a connecting terminal and a housing injection-molded on the connecting terminal. The connecting terminal has a connecting sheet, a through hole, and a plurality of U-shape groove sheets. Exposed conductors obtained by peeling front ends of the photovoltaic cable are respectively placed into corresponding U-shape groove sheets and crimped by a crimping plier. A manufacturing method for manufacturing the integrated photovoltaic cable includes three steps of manufacturing a connecting terminal, crimping photovoltaic wires, and injection molding a housing. An improvement of the cable connecting structure simplifies the production, improves the connecting quality, and reduces a volume of an adapter. The conductor end and the U-shape groove are firmly and conveniently connected to ensure the connection quality, reduce a contact resistance of a connecting wire, and cause a smaller volume of the adapter.

    Abstract: A homogenization process for coiled tubing is provided. After being preheated in a sectional manner and quenched and tempered, laser-welded low-carbon alloy steel coiled tubing is spray cooled, and then is tempered to obtain homogeneous silvery coiled tubing. Microstructural uniformity of the slivery coiled tubing after the treatment is greatly improved in a welding seam region, a heat sensing region, and a tube wall, situations in which an outer surface of the coiled tubing is burnt and oxidized in the homogenization process are reduced, and a service life of the coiled tubing is prolonged. Moreover, homogeneous coiled tubing with different yield strengths and tensile strengths can be obtained by changing a temperature of the tempering, so that production costs are reduced.
