The present invention relates to a method for making a high-temperature winding cable, and more particularly to a method for making a winding cable, the cable so made being unable to be melt, not easy to crack and retaining elasticity, and at the same time, still having the normal effects of signal transmission, insulation resistivity and, voltage and current withstanding after the impact of high temperatures.
Cables are common elements in electronics industry for signal or power transmission, currently, having been applying widely in information commodities, communication equipment, medical instruments and other related fields.
The outer or inner insulating materials of common conventional cables are usually made from Polyvinylchloride (PVC) or Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). However, they can only resist the temperatures ranged from 60° C. to 105° C., resulting in the easy damage of the cables because the load is to large to yield heat source easily, or the melting of the cable due to destruction of external factors (e.g. fire accident) upon use, not only incapable of blocking combustion, but prone to have the spread of combustion because they are not resistant to high temperatures.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a method for making a high-temperature winding cable, allowing the cable to be not melt, not easy to crack and retain elasticity, and at the same time, still have the normal effects of signal transmission, insulation resistivity and, voltage and current withstanding after the impact of high temperatures.
To achieve the object mentioned above, the present invention proposes a method for making a high-temperature winding cable, including the following steps:
cable forming: winding a tinned copper line around a coaxial line, a plurality of signal lines and a plurality of power lines after being assembled together, and lapping a rim of the timed copper wire with a packaging material made from Polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE), and then, extruding an insulating layer of thermoplastic material on a rim of the packaging material, and finally, extruding an outer cover of fluororubber on a rim of the insulating layer, thereby forming a cable;
high-temperature sintering: sintering the cable with a temperature ranged from 200° C. to 250° C. for 30 to 45 minutes;
winding cable shaping: winding the sintered cable clockwise on an iron bar, and fixing the wound cable into position;
baking: placing the cable wound on the iron bar in a baker, and baking it with a temperature ranged from 180° C.˜200° C. for at least 30 minutes;
cooling: cooling the baked cable wound on the iron bar with water of temperature 45° C. for 10 to 15 minutes;
winding cable forming: a winding cable will be formed on the iron bar after being cooled with water; thereafter, taking down the winding cable from the iron bar by rewinding it counterclockwise, thereby completing the manufacturing of the high-temperature winding cable.
In one embodiment of the present invention, diameters of the coaxial line, each signal line and each power line are respectively ranged from 22 AWG to 32 AWG.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the coaxial line comprises a conductor, inner insulating layer covering the conductor, weaving layer covering inner insulating layer, and outer insulating layer covering weaving layer, the conductor is made of tinned copper, and the inner, outer insulating layers are respectively made from Polyfluoroalkoxy (PFA), Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), or Polytetrafluoroethene (PTFE).
