Abstract
Description
La présente invention est relative à un connecteur coaxial coudé, plus précisément un connecteur d'extrémité coudé pour câble coaxial.The present invention relates to a bent coaxial connector, more precisely a bent end connector for coaxial cable.
On connaît déjà différents types de connecteurs coudés comportant notamment un tronçon coudé torique de ligne coaxiale.Various types of bent connectors are already known, including in particular a toroidal bent section of coaxial line.
On a ainsi proposé pour la réalisation du tronçon coudé de mouler tout d'abord en fonderie, par un procédé à cire perdu, un corps métallique conducteur coudé à la forme souhaitée, dans lequel on insère ensuite un isolant de forme coudée obtenu par une étape séparée du moulage et un conducteur central également coudé. Ce procédé nécessite la fabrication puis l'assemblage de trois pièces coudées et est difficile à mettre en oeuvre dans la pratique.It has thus been proposed for the production of the bent section to first mold in the foundry, by a lost wax process, a conductive metal body bent to the desired shape, into which is then inserted an insulator of bent shape obtained by a step separate from the molding and a central conductor also bent. This process requires the manufacture and then the assembly of three bent parts and is difficult to implement in practice.
Il a par ailleurs été proposé dans la demande de brevet français 81.07 464 de réaliser un connecteur coaxial coudé en mettant en oeuvre une étape de cambrage mécanique au cours de laquelle on réalise un tronçon torique coudé de ligne coaxiale comportant un conducteur central, un isolant et un conducteur extérieur, le procédé étant caractérisé par le fait que l'on dépose sur au moins une partie dudit tronçon une couche conductrice métallique, de préférence en cuivre, par voie chimique ou électrolytique et que l'on usine les extrémités du tronçon ainsi revêtu pour la mise en place d'embouts de connecteurs.It was also proposed in French patent application 81.07 464 to produce a bent coaxial connector by implementing a mechanical bending step during which a bent toroidal section of coaxial line is produced comprising a central conductor, an insulator and an external conductor, the method being characterized in that a metallic conductive layer, preferably copper, is deposited on at least a portion of said section, by chemical or electrolytic means and that the ends of the section thus coated are machined for fitting connector ends.
Un tel procédé est particulièrement intéressant pour la réalisation de connecteurs coudés à hautes performances dans des lignes coaxiales à fréquence très élevée.Such a method is particularly advantageous for the production of high performance bent connectors in coaxial lines at very high frequency.
Les connecteurs obtenus sont toutefois relativement coûteux.The connectors obtained are however relatively expensive.
La présente invention se propose de réaliser un connecteur coaxial coudé particulièrement simple à réaliser et mettre en place sur un câble coaxial et d'un prix de revient particulièrement économique.The present invention proposes to produce a coaxial angled connector which is particularly simple to produce and install on a coaxial cable and of a particularly economical cost price.
Le connecteur selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement par le fait qu'il comprend un corps, un contact central, un contact extérieur solidaire dudit corps, un isolant interposé entre le contact central et le corps, une ferrule à sertir solidaire dudit corps à sa partie arrière et un manchon torique coudé dont une extrémité est susceptible d'être engagée dans ladite ferrule et immobilisée lors du sertissage de celle-ci.The connector according to the invention is essentially characterized by the fact that it comprises a body, a central contact, an external contact integral with said body, an insulator interposed between the central contact and the body, a crimp ferrule integral with said body at its rear part and a bent O-ring sleeve one end of which is likely to be engaged in said ferrule and immobilized during crimping thereof.
Dans un premier mode de réalisation le manchon torique coudé est formé d'un tronçon tubulaire plein et dans un second mode de réalisation d'un tronçon tubulaire partiellement évidé sur une partie de sa longueur dans sa zone centrale.In a first embodiment the bent O-ring sleeve is formed of a full tubular section and in a second embodiment of a tubular section partially hollowed out over part of its length in its central zone.
Le connecteur selon l'invention est destiné à être mis en place à l'extrémité d'un câble coaxial comportant un conducteur central, un diélectrique et un conducteur extérieur, habituellement sous forme de tresse ainsi qu'une gaine extérieure de protection.The connector according to the invention is intended to be placed at the end of a coaxial cable comprising a central conductor, a dielectric and an external conductor, usually in the form of a braid as well as an external protective sheath.
Pour la mise en place du connecteur selon l'invention sur un tel câble coaxial on dénude l'extrémité du câble et, après avoir mis en place le manchon torique coudé sur le câble, on procède au sertissage du conducteur central du câble sur le contact central du connecteur et au sertissage de la ferrule sur le manchon introduit dans celle-ci immobilisant ainsi l'extrémité du conducteur extérieur du câble rabattue autour de l'extrémité du manchon engagée dans la ferrule.For the establishment of the connector according to the invention on such a coaxial cable, the end of the cable is stripped and, after having installed the bent O-ring sleeve on the cable, the central conductor of the cable is crimped onto the contact. central of the connector and by crimping the ferrule on the sleeve introduced therein thus immobilizing the end of the outer conductor of the cable folded around the end of the sleeve engaged in the ferrule.
On comprend que le connecteur selon l'invention est ainsi particulièrement facile à monter et est d'un prix de revient d'autant plus économique que l'on peut utiliser un corps de connecteur muni d'une ferrule arrière à sertir de type conventionnel, utilisé pour la connexion droite de câbles coaxiaux. Il est simplement nécessaire selon l'invention d'adjoindre un manchon torique coudé plein ou partiellement évidé apte à s'engager autour d'un câble coaxial et dans la ferrule en vue de son immobilisation par sertissage.It is understood that the connector according to the invention is thus particularly easy to assemble and is more cost-effective the more it is possible to use a connector body provided with a rear crimp ferrule of conventional type, used for straight connection of coaxial cables. It is simply necessary according to the invention to add a full or partially hollowed out elbow O-ring sleeve able to engage around a coaxial cable and in the ferrule for its immobilization by crimping.
Les outillages pour le câblage selon l'invention sont également les mêmes que ceux utilisés pour des connecteurs droits.The tools for wiring according to the invention are also the same as those used for straight connectors.
Dans le but de mieux faire comprendre l'invention on va maintenant en décrire à titre d'exemples, en aucune manière limitatifs, deux modes de réalisation en se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel :
- - La figure 1 est une vue en demi-coupe d'un premier mode de réalisation de connecteur coudé pour câble coaxial selon l'invention.
- - La figure 2 illustre le manchon torique coudé utilisé dans ce mode de réalisation.
- - La figure 3 est une vue également en demi-coupe d'un second mode de réalisation.
- - La figure 4 illustre le manchon torique coudé utilisé dans ce second mode de réalisation.
- - Figure 1 is a half-sectional view of a first embodiment of an elbow connector for coaxial cable according to the invention.
- - Figure 2 illustrates the bent O-ring sleeve used in this embodiment.
- - Figure 3 is also a half-section view of a second embodiment.
- - Figure 4 illustrates the bent O-ring sleeve used in this second embodiment.
En se référant au dessin on voit que le connecteur selon l'invention comprend un corps 1 sur lequel est monté serré un capot d'extrémité 2.Referring to the drawing, it can be seen that the connector according to the invention comprises a body 1 on which an
Le connecteur comporte de façon conventionnelle un contact central 3 comportant une zone arrière à sertir 3a, un contact extérieur 4 et un isolant 5.The connector conventionally comprises a
De façon également conventionnelle le corps est solidaire à sa partie arrière d'une ferrule à sertir 6.Also in a conventional manner, the body is integral with its rear part with a
Selon l'invention, il est prévu un manchon torique coudé 7 dans le mode de réalisation des figures 1 et 2, et 7' dans le mode de réalisation des figures 3 et 4.According to the invention, a bent O-
Le manchon torique coudé 7 est constitué par un tronçon tubulaire coudé à l'angle désiré et est réalisé en un matériau de préférence conducteur.The bent O-
Le manchon torique coudé 7' présente également une forme tubulaire mais est évidé sur une partie de sa longueur dans sa zone centrale entre deux tronçons d'extrémités tubulaires 7'a et 7'b.The bent O-
L'évidement réalisé entre les tronçons 7'a et 7'b est destiné à faciliter l'introduction d'un câble coaxial 8 de type conventionnel comportant un conducteur central 9, un diélectrique 10, un conducteur extérieur sous forme de tresse 11 et une gaine extérieure de protection 12.The recess produced between the sections 7'a and 7'b is intended to facilitate the introduction of a
Comme on le voit aux figures 1 et 3, après préparation de l'extrémité du câble coaxial 8 et son montage dans le manchon torique, l'extrémité lla de la tresse de conducteur extérieur est rabattue autour de l'extrémité 7a et respectivement 7'a du manchon torique coudé 7 et respectivement 7'. On procède ensuite au sertissage du contact central 3 dans sa zone arrière 3a sur l'extrémité 9a du conducteur central 9 du câble, puis on introduit l'ensemble dans l'isolant et le corps du connecteur. Cet ensemble est alors immobilisé par sertissage de la ferrule 6.As seen in Figures 1 and 3, after preparation of the end of the
Dans les modes de réalisation représentés on a illustré le montage d'un connecteur à l'extrémité d'un câble coaxial, mais on peut naturellement également réaliser selon l'invention des connecteurs coudés comportant deux embouts d'extrémités, auquel cas un corps de connecteur muni d'une ferrule à sertir est mis en place de la même manière à l'autre extrémité du manchon torique coudé.In the embodiments shown, the mounting of a connector at the end of a coaxial cable has been illustrated, but it is naturally also possible according to the invention to produce elbow connectors comprising two end caps, in which case a body of connector fitted with a crimp ferrule is fitted in the same way at the other end of the bent O-ring.
Enfin bien que l'invention ait été décrite en liaison avec des modes de réalisation particuliers, il est bien évident qu'elle n'y est nullement limitée et qu'on peut lui apporter différentes variantes et modifications sans pour autant sortir ni de son cadre, ni de son esprit.Finally, although the invention has been described in connection with particular embodiments, it is obvious that it is in no way limited thereto and that it can be brought to it in different variants and modifications without departing from its scope or , nor of his spirit.
