Abstract
In wire cross-linking process, after microwave is launched into the inside of the waveguide coaxial converter, the coated wire is inserted into the wire insertion pipe. The coated wire is cross-linked by high frequency heat and a coating insulator is adhered well to an electric conductor by heat shrinking.
Claims3
A wire processing method of cross-linking a coated wire composed of a coating insulator and an electric conductor by means of a microwave generator, a waveguide connected to the microwave generator and a wire insertion pipe disposed in a transmitting space of the waveguide, the method comprising the steps of;
- moving a short plunger to locate a terminal end of the transmitting space at a desired position in order to swiftly heat the coated wire with microwaves;
- introducing microwaves to the transmitting space of the waveguide by means of the microwave generator;
- inserting the coated wire into the wire insertion pipe sequentially;
- and
- cross-linking the coated wire and adhering the coating insulator to the electric conductor.
