Description

La présente invention concerne un câble de raccordement électrique du type comportant un faisceau de fils conducteurs initiaux et un fourreau délimitant intérieurement un passage réservé pour l'installation de fils conducteurs supplémentaires.The present invention relates to an electrical connection cable of the type comprising a bundle of initial conducting wires and a sheath internally delimiting a passage reserved for the installation of conductive wires additional.

De tels câbles de raccordement électrique sont utilisés dans les avions afin de connecter électriquement différents organes à commande électrique. Ces câbles cheminent au travers de logements de réception du train d'atterrissage. Ils doivent donc être résistants aux agressions extérieures, puisqu'ils sont exposés, dans ces logements, directement à l'environnement extérieur de l'avion. Ils sont alors soumis aux perturbations électromagnétiques et aux agressions extérieures. De plus, les câbles doivent être souples afin de permettre un montage et un démontage aisés.Such electrical connection cables are used in airplanes in order to electrically connect different control devices electric. These cables run through receiving housings of the landing gear. They must therefore be resistant to external aggressions, since they are exposed, in these homes, directly to the environment outside the plane. They are then subjected to electromagnetic disturbances and external aggressions. In addition, the cables must be flexible to allow easy assembly and disassembly.

Dans les câbles de raccordement électriques connus, le faisceau de fils conducteurs est disposé à l'intérieur d'un fourreau d'un diamètre intérieur surdimensionné, de sorte qu'il délimite intérieurement un passage réservé permettant l'introduction ultérieure de fils supplémentaires.In known electrical connection cables, the harness conductive wires is placed inside a sheath with an inside diameter oversized, so that it internally delimits a reserved passage allowing the subsequent introduction of additional wires.

Des fils supplémentaires peuvent en effet être nécessaires en cas d'installation d'un nouvel équipement électrique ou lors d'améliorations apportées à l'avion.Additional wires may indeed be required in case installation of new electrical equipment or during improvements to the plane.

L'introduction de nouveaux fils dans le passage réservé délimité par le fourreau est une opération délicate, les nouveaux fils introduits se bloquant fréquemment en se mêlant aux fils initiaux. L'expérience montre que les fils ne peuvent pas être introduits dans des câbles ayant une longueur supérieure à quatre mètres. Aussi, des boítes de coupure sont prévues, interrompant le fourreau à intervalles réguliers. Ces boítes de coupure sont distantes de moins de quatre mètres. Elles permettent l'accès aux fils circulant à l'intérieur du fourreau.The introduction of new wires in the reserved passage delimited by the sheath is a delicate operation, the new introduced threads blocking frequently by mingling with the initial threads. Experience shows that wires cannot be inserted into cables having a length greater than four meters. Also, break boxes are provided, interrupting the scabbard at regular intervals. These break boxes are less than four meters apart. They allow access to circulating wires inside the scabbard.

La présence des boítes de coupure augmente le coût du câblage et rend malaisée son installation dans les trains d'atterrissage. Elle réduit de plus la protection électromagnétique du câble notamment en hautes fréquences, c'est-à-dire pour des fréquences supérieures à 300 kHz.The presence of switch boxes increases the cost of wiring and makes it difficult to install in landing gear. It reduces by plus the electromagnetic protection of the cable, especially at high frequencies, that is to say for frequencies above 300 kHz.

De plus, la masse du câble est importante compte tenu du diamètre important du fourreau et de la présence des boítes de coupures. In addition, the mass of the cable is important given the diameter important of the sheath and the presence of the boxes of clippings.

L'invention a pour but de fournir un câble de raccordement électrique permettant d'ajouter facilement des fils conducteurs supplémentaires sur des tronçons de grande longueur et présentant une masse réduite.The invention aims to provide an electrical connection cable for easy addition of additional lead wires to sections of great length and having a reduced mass.

Un câble selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est divulgué dans le document GB 2 258 711 A.A cable according to the preamble of claim 1 is disclosed in GB 2 258 711 A.

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un câble de raccordement électrique du type précité, le faisceau de fils conducteurs initiaux étant disposé à l'extérieur du fourreau, le câble comportant des moyens de retenue du faisceau de fils conducteurs initiaux le long du fourreau, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte à au moins une extrémité un embout délimitant un passage pour le faisceau de fils conducteurs initiaux, et le fourreau pénètre dans ledit passage et débouche dans le passage ou au-delà de celui-ci.To this end, the invention relates to an electrical connection cable of the aforementioned type, the beam initial conducting wires being placed outside the sheath, the cable comprising means for retaining the bundle of conductive wires initials along the sheath, characterized in that it comprises at least one end an end-piece defining a passage for the initial wire harness, and the sheath enters in said passage and leads into or beyond the passage.

  • la section de passage délimitée par le fourreau est égale à au moins 25 % de la section totale du faisceau de fils conducteurs initiaux ; et
  • le faisceau de fils conducteurs et le fourreau sont vrillés pour former un toron.
According to particular embodiments, the connection cable includes one or more of the following characteristics:

  • the passage section delimited by the sheath is equal to at least 25% of the total section of the bundle of initial conducting wires; and
  • the bundle of conducting wires and the sheath are twisted to form a strand.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins, sur lesquels :

  • La figure 1 est une vue en coupe longitudinale d'un tronçon d'extrémité d'un câble selon l'invention ; et
  • La figure 2 est une vue en section de la partie courante du câble de la figure 1.
    • The invention will be better understood on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example and made with reference to the drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an end section of a cable according to the invention; and
  • FIG. 2 is a section view of the current part of the cable in FIG. 1.

    • Sur la figure 1 est représenté un tronçon d'extrémité 10 d'un câble de raccordement électrique selon l'invention. Il est muni à son extrémité d'une traversée 12 assurant la liaison mécanique du câble avec une paroi 14 d'un équipement électrique auquel est connecté le câble 10.In Figure 1 is shown an end section 10 of a cable electrical connection according to the invention. It is provided at its end with a bushing 12 ensuring the mechanical connection of the cable with a wall 14 of a electrical equipment to which the cable is connected 10.

    Le câble 10 comporte un faisceau 16 de fils conducteurs initiaux et un fourreau 18 délimitant intérieurement un passage réservé pour l'installation ultérieure de fils conducteurs supplémentaires.The cable 10 comprises a bundle 16 of initial conducting wires and a sheath 18 internally defining a passage reserved for installation subsequent additional conductor wires.

    Le faisceau 16 de fils conducteurs initiaux s'étend extérieurement le long du fourreau 18. Le faisceau et le tube sont retenus l'un contre l'autre par une enveloppe externe multicouche 20.The bundle 16 of initial conducting wires extends outwardly along the sheath 18. The beam and the tube are held one against the other by a multilayer outer shell 20.

    Le faisceau 16 est constitué de fils de câblage isolés et éventuellement blindés, formés de fils unique, ou encore de paires ou de tierces de fils torsadés. Ces fils sont répartis partiellement autour du fourreau 18, en étant concentrés d'un même côté, comme représenté sur la figure 2. Ils délimitent ainsi, en section, un croissant de lune.The bundle 16 is made up of insulated wiring wires and possibly shielded, formed of single wires, or of pairs or thirds of wires twisted. These wires are partially distributed around the sheath 18, being concentrated on the same side, as shown in Figure 2. They delimit thus, in section, a crescent moon.

    Avantageusement, afin d'améliorer la flexibilité du câble, l'ensemble formé du faisceau 16 de fils conducteurs et du fourreau 18 est vrillé pour former un toron. Le faisceau 16 et le fourreau 18 décrivent alors des hélices imbriquées.Advantageously, in order to improve the flexibility of the cable, the assembly formed of the bundle 16 of conductive wires and of the sheath 18 is twisted to form a strand. The beam 16 and the sheath 18 then describe propellers nested.

    Le fourreau 18 est constitué d'un tube annelé. Ainsi, il comporte, suivant sa longueur, une alternance de tronçons cylindriques de diamètres distincts. Plus généralement, le fourreau 18 est avantageusement délimité par une paroi tubulaire comportant suivant sa longueur des saillies et des creux successifs.The sheath 18 consists of a corrugated tube. So, it includes, following its length, an alternation of cylindrical sections of distinct diameters. More generally, the sheath 18 is advantageously delimited by a tubular wall comprising, along its length, projections and recesses successive.

    De préférence, la section intérieure du fourreau 18 est supérieure à 0.25 fois la section du faisceau 16 de fils conducteurs initiaux.Preferably, the internal section of the sheath 18 is greater than 0.25 times the cross section of the bundle 16 of initial conducting wires.

    Le fourreau 18 est réalisé en PTFE (Poly(tétrafluoréthylène)) ou en PEEK (Polyéther(étheracétone)). L'enveloppe 20 assurant la protection et la retenue du faisceau 16 et du fourreau 18 comporte un rubanage interne 22 formée par un ruban de PTFE ou de polyester. Le ruban est bobiné sous forme hélicoïdale avec un recouvrement à 50 % autour du faisceau 16 et du fourreau 18. Le rubanage 22 évite l'usure des fils conducteurs et permet d'assurer leur cohésion lors de la fabrication du câble, et notamment lors de la mise en place des autres couches de l'enveloppe 20.The sheath 18 is made of PTFE (Poly (tetrafluoroethylene)) or PEEK (Polyether (etheracetone)). The envelope 20 providing protection and retaining the bundle 16 and the sheath 18 has an internal taping 22 formed by a PTFE or polyester tape. The ribbon is wound under helical shape with 50% overlap around beam 16 and sheath 18. The taping 22 prevents wear of the conductive wires and allows to ensure their cohesion during the manufacture of the cable, and in particular during the establishment of the other layers of the envelope 20.

    En variante, le ruban constituant le rubanage 22 est disposé longitudinalement autour du faisceau 16 et du fourreau 18, les bords longitudinaux du ruban étant rapportés l'un sur l'autre avec un recouvrement supérieur à 30 %.As a variant, the ribbon constituting the ribbon 22 is arranged longitudinally around the bundle 16 and the sheath 18, the longitudinal edges tape being attached to each other with an overlap greater than 30 %.

    L'enveloppe 20 comporte en outre, serrée autour de la couche interne 22, une tresse de blindage 24, assurant la protection électromagnétique du câble vis-à-vis des perturbations rencontrées dans son environnement.The envelope 20 further comprises, tightened around the inner layer 22, a shielding braid 24, ensuring the electromagnetic protection of the cable vis-à-vis the disturbances encountered in its environment.

    La tresse de blindage 24 est formée par exemple de fils ronds de cuivre nickelé tressés de manière connue en soi.The shielding braid 24 is formed for example from round copper wires. nickel plated braided in a manner known per se.

    La tresse de blindage est réalisée, par exemple par surtressage. En variante, le faisceau 16 et le fourreau 18 rubanés sont enfilés dans la tresse de blindage 24, préalablement fabriquée.The shielding braid is produced, for example by overstressing. In variant, the bundle 16 and the striped sheath 18 are threaded into the braid shield 24, previously manufactured.

    L'enveloppe 20 comporte à l'extérieur une gaine 26 de protection mécanique. Celle-ci est constituée par exemple d'une tresse textile ou d'une gaine thermorétractable, par exemple réalisée en NOMEX. Le NOMEX est commercialisé par la société Du Pont de Nemours.The envelope 20 has on the outside a sheath 26 of mechanical protection. This consists for example of a textile braid or a heat-shrinkable sheath, for example made of NOMEX. The NOMEX is marketed by the company Du Pont de Nemours.

    Par ailleurs, une aiguille de tirage 28 est initialement disposée à l'intérieur du fourreau 18. Elle débouche à ses deux extrémités.Furthermore, a drawing needle 28 is initially disposed at inside the sheath 18. It opens at its two ends.

    Cette aiguille de tirage permet l'introduction ultérieure de fils conducteurs supplémentaires depuis une extrémité en attachant ceux-ci à l'aiguille de tirage. La traction de l'aiguille de tirage depuis l'extrémité opposée permet de conduire les fils conducteurs ajoutés suivant toute la longueur du fourreau 18.This pulling needle allows the subsequent introduction of conducting wires extra from one end by attaching these to the needle draw. Pulling the pull needle from the opposite end allows conduct the added conductors along the entire length of the scabbard 18.

    Comme représenté sur la figure 1, le câble de raccordement 10 comporte à son extrémité une traversée 12 délimitant un passage 30 pour le faisceau de fils conducteurs 16. Le faisceau 16 et le fourreau 18 rubanés pénètrent dans le passage 30 et débouchent au-delà de celui-ci. En particulier, le fourreau 18 pénètre dans ledit passage et débouche dans celui-ci ou au-delà de celui-ci, ce qui permet l'introduction de fils conducteurs supplémentaires au travers du fourreau 18 depuis l'intérieur de l'équipement délimité par la paroi 14.As shown in FIG. 1, the connection cable 10 comprises at its end a crossing 12 delimiting a passage 30 for the bundle of conducting wires 16. The bundle 16 and the sheath 18 ribbons enter passage 30 and emerge beyond this. In particular, the sheath 18 penetrates in the said passage and leads into it or beyond it, which allows the introduction of additional conductive wires through of the sheath 18 from inside the equipment delimited by the wall 14.

    La gaine de protection mécanique 26 et la tresse de blindage 24 sont interrompues sur la traversée 12 qu'elles recouvrent partiellement. La gaine 26 et la tresse 24 sont liées électriquement et mécaniquement à la traversée 12 suivant des tronçons étagés successifs 32, 34 sur lesquels elles sont appliquées.The mechanical protection sheath 26 and the shielding braid 24 are interrupted on the crossing 12 which they partially cover. Sheath 26 and the braid 24 are electrically and mechanically linked to the bushing 12 along successive staged sections 32, 34 on which they are applied.

    Avec un câble de raccordement tel que décrit ici, des fils supplémentaires peuvent être ultérieurement introduits facilement dans le fourreau 18 sans risque de blocage et d'entremêlement avec les fils conducteurs initiaux constituant le faisceau 16.With a connection cable as described here, additional wires can later be easily inserted into the sleeve 18 without risk of blocking and entanglement with the original conductors constituting the bundle 16.

    Ainsi, les câbles de raccordement électriques peuvent atteindre des longueurs de 10 m sans boíte de coupure, tout en permettant l'ajout de fils supplémentaires.Thus, the electrical connection cables can reach lengths of 10 m without breaking box, while allowing the addition of wires additional.

    Le câble décrit ici comporte une traversée 12 assurant la liaison du câble au boítier d'un équipement électrique. En variante, le câble comporte un connecteur et le fourreau 18 débouche alors avantageusement à l'intérieur du boítier du connecteur.The cable described here has a passage 12 ensuring the connection of the cable to the box of electrical equipment. Alternatively, the cable has a connector and the sleeve 18 then advantageously opens out inside the connector housing.

    Plus généralement, le câble comporte à au moins une extrémité, un embout délimitant un passage dans lequel, ou au-delà duquel, le fourreau 18 débouche.More generally, the cable has at least one end, a nozzle defining a passage in which, or beyond which, the sheath 18 opens.
