Abstract

The present invention relates to a tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) for an exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ), the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) comprising a first shielding tube ( 13 ) comprising one or more through channels for accommodating one or more wires ( 6 a, 6 b, 8 a, 8 b, 11 a, 11 b ) and/or for accommodating one or more temperature measurement sensors ( 7 ), the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) furthermore comprising a second shielding tube ( 14 ) radially surrounding the first shielding tube ( 14 ). It is an object of the invention to provide a tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) and an exhaust temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ) which are of good mechanical stability. The object is solved in that the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) comprises a first tube adhesive layer ( 15 ) arranged interposed between the first shielding tube ( 13 ) and the second shielding tube ( 14 ), the first tube adhesive layer ( 15 ) fixing the first shielding tube to the second shielding tube ( 14 ). Furthermore, the object is solved by an exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ), preferably comprising such a wire shielding ( 9 ), and a method for assembling the exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ).

Claims (19)

1. A method for assembling an exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ) comprising a tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) radially surrounding two or more wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of a wire arrangement, the wire arrangement comprising one or more pairs of wires which are conductors ( 6 a , 6 b ) of a connection cable ( 5 ) for connecting a temperature measurement sensor ( 7 ) via the connection cable ( 5 ) of the exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ), the method comprising the steps of:

fixing a first shielding tube ( 13 ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) to a second shielding tube ( 14 ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ), the second shielding tube ( 14 ) radially surrounding the first shielding tube ( 13 ), by applying a first tube adhesive ( 15 ) between the first shielding tube ( 13 ) and the second shielding tube ( 14 ); and

providing an RTD element as the temperature measurement sensor ( 7 ) such that the two or more wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of the wire arrangement are contacting the RTD element, electrically connecting the two or more wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of the wire arrangement contacting the RTD element and the RTD element to each other so as to electrically connect the RTD element via the connection cable ( 5 ), and arranging said electrical connection to the RTD element outside a through channel formed in the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ); and/or

providing an electrical junction via the connection cable ( 5 ) by forming exactly two welding connections with the two wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of the wire arrangement to the RTD element;

wherein the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) is configured to shield the temperature measurement sensor ( 7 ) for measurement of temperatures up to 1,000° C.

2. The method according to claim 1 , comprising the step of:

providing two or more tubular segments ( 9 a - 9 g ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) serially on the same wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of the wire arrangement, at least two of the tubular segments ( 9 a - 9 g ) having the same outer diameter.

3. A method for assembling an exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ) comprising a tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) radially surrounding two or more wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of a wire arrangement, the wire arrangement comprising one or more pairs of wires which are thermocouple conductors ( 6 a , 6 b ) of a connection cable ( 5 ) of the exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ), the method comprising the steps of:

fixing a first shielding tube ( 13 ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) to a second shielding tube ( 14 ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ), the second shielding tube ( 14 ) radially surrounding the first shielding tube ( 13 ), by applying a first tube adhesive ( 15 ) between the first shielding tube ( 13 ) and the second shielding tube ( 14 ); and

providing an electrical junction as a temperature measurement sensor ( 7 ) by welding a pair of thermocouple wires to each other, thereby connecting the electrical junction electrically via the connection cable ( 5 ) by forming exactly one welding connection;

wherein the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) is configured to shield the temperature measurement sensor ( 7 ) for measurement of temperatures up to 1,000° C.

4. The method according to claim 3 , comprising the step of:

providing two or more tubular segments ( 9 a - 9 g ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) serially on the same wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of the wire arrangement, at least two of the tubular segments ( 9 a - 9 g ) having the same outer diameter.

5. A method for assembling an exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement ( 1 ) comprising a tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) radially surrounding two or more wires ( 6 a , 6 b ) of a wire arrangement, the wire arrangement comprising one or more pairs of wires which are conductors ( 6 a , 6 b ) of a connection cable ( 5 ) for connecting a temperature measurement sensor ( 7 ) via the connection cable ( 5 ) of the exhaust gas temperature sensor arrangement, the method comprising the steps of:

fixing a first shielding tube ( 13 ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ) to a second shielding tube ( 14 ) of the tubular wire shielding ( 9 ), the second shielding tube ( 14 ) radially surrounding the first shielding tube ( 13 ), by applying a first tube adhesive ( 15 ) between the first shielding tube ( 13 ) and the second shielding tube ( 14 ); and
