According to one aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the end portion of the high temperature resistant wire segment is connected to the nickel strip by a tin soldering, and the end portion of the low temperature wire segment is connected to the nickel strip by a tin soldering.
According to one aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a high temperature resistant sealing portion is disposed within the accommodating space of the case, and the sealing portion is adapted to fix positions of the end portion of the high temperature resistant wire segment and the end portion of the low temperature wire segment connected to each other, and isolate the end portions from an exterior of the connecting member.
According to one aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure, a first limiting portion and a second limiting portion are respectively provided at the openings on both ends of the case, wherein the first limiting portion is adapted to fix the high temperature resistant wire segment, and the second limiting portion is adapted to fix the low temperature wire segment; the first limiting portion comprises a limiting protrusion, and the limiting protrusion is provided with a first through hole for fixing the high temperature resistant wire segment; and the second limiting portion comprises an end cover, and the end cover is provided with a second through hole for fixing the low temperature wire segment.

In the cable provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the high temperature resistant wire segment and the low temperature wire segment are connected by the connecting member, and the cable can receive a signal from the high temperature environment and output the signal to the low temperature environment.

In the present embodiment, the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 is connected to the high temperature connection terminal 1, the low temperature wire segment 4 is connected to the low temperature connection terminal 2, and the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the low temperature wire segment 4 are connected by the connecting member 7. As such, the cable can be connected to the high temperature device 5 via the high temperature connection terminal 1 and connected to the normal temperature device 6 via the low temperature or normal temperature connection terminal. Thus, the cable can be used in a high temperature environment, and transmit a signal to a low temperature or a normal temperature environment. On the one hand, a signal reception from the high temperature environment can be achieved, and on the other hand, the signal can be output and collected in a low temperature or normal temperature region. The bending radius of the low temperature wire segment 4 is smaller than that of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3, and the low temperature wire segment 4 is cooperated with the high temperature resistant wire segment 3. Thus, a bending radius of the entire cable is relatively small, which facilitates route of the cable during installation. Therefore, the cable can be laid easily and can adapt to a variety of installation environments. Moreover, an overall cost of the cable can be reduced by using the low temperature wire segment 4. Further, a length of the low temperature wire segment 4 and that of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 can be selected according to the installation environments. Particularly, the length of the low temperature wire segment 4 can be selected, to avoid a waste caused by using the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 in the low temperature or normal temperature environment, which can reduce the cost reasonably. Furthermore, the low temperature wire segment 4 is relatively soft and not easily damaged, and thus can be connected to the low temperature connection terminal 2 more conveniently, resulting in an easy connection process and a lower installation cost.
As an alternative embodiment, the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 is made of INCONEL 600 or INCONEL 718, and the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 has a temperature tolerance from 400° C. to 500° C. The property of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 of the present embodiment will not be affected and can perform signal transmission normally in the environment from 400° C. to 500° C.
As an alternative embodiment, the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the high temperature connection terminal 1 are connected by a tin soldering, and the low temperature wire segment 4 and the low temperature connection terminal 2 are connected by a tin soldering. In the present embodiment, the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the high temperature connection terminal 1 are connected by the tin soldering, which does not affect the transmission of the signal, and also has a high connection stability; the low temperature wire segment 4 and the low temperature connection terminal 2 are connected by the tin soldering, which can achieve a stable connection and signal transmission.
As an alternative embodiment, the connecting member 7 includes a case 70, which includes openings at both ends and an internal accommodating space for accommodating an end portion of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and an end portion of the low temperature wire segment 4. The end portion of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the end portion of the low temperature wire segment 4 are connected by a nickel strip within the accommodating space. The connecting member 7 of the present embodiment connects the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 to the low temperature wire segment 4, and in the accommodating space of the case 70, the end portion of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 is connected to the nickel strip, and the end portion of the low temperature wire segment 4 is connected to the same nickel strip. Therefore, the connection of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the low temperature wire segment 4 can be achieved, and a normal signal transmission between the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the low temperature wire segment 4 can be ensured by the connection using the nickel strip.
As an alternative embodiment, the end portion of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 is connected to the nickel strip by a tin soldering, and the end portion of the low temperature wire segment 4 is connected to the nickel strip by a tin soldering. In the present embodiment, both of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the low temperature wire segment 4 are connected to the nickel strip by the tin soldering, which can result in a stable connection.
As an alternative embodiment, the accommodating space of the case 70 is provided with a high temperature resistant sealing portion for fixing and isolating the end portions of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the low temperature wire segment 4 connected to each other from an exterior of the connecting member 7. The sealing portion of the present embodiment may be made of an epoxy resin. The epoxy resin can be filled into the accommodating space of the case 70, and form the sealing portion after solidification. As such, a relative position of the end portions of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the low temperature wire segment 4 connected to each other can be fixed by the sealing portion, which can enhance the connection of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 to the low temperature wire segment 4 by the connecting member 7. Meanwhile, the sealing portion can isolate the end portions of the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 and the low temperature wire segment 4 from the exterior of the connecting member 7, thereby reducing influence of the exterior on the signal transmission. Further, since the epoxy resin has good heat resistance, an environmental compatibility of the sealing portion can be improved.

In the case that the first limiting portion 71 includes one limiting protrusion 711, after the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 passes through the first through hole 712 and extends into the accommodating space of the case 70, the fastener is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the limiting protrusion 711 corresponding to the recessed region 713, so as to compress the limiting protrusion 711 and fix the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 on the limiting protrusion 711 more stably. As a result, the high temperature resistant wire segment 3 cannot be displaced or rotated easily.
