The fibers (20) are arranged in the strand to be in contact with each other on their lengths. An insulating tube (30) surrounds the strand along the cable. The non-conducting material has an extension with a rupture higher than 10 percentage.

Description

La présente invention est relative aux câbles de contrôle électriques, ou câbles d'énergie, utilisés pour transmettre des courants.The present invention relates to electrical control cables, or power cables, used to transmit currents.

De tels câbles sont utilisés dans différents domaines de l'industrie, tels que par exemple l'industrie automobile, où ils sont assemblés en faisceaux pour l'alimentation électrique et/ou le contrôle électrique de différents équipements. Ces câbles doivent ainsi notamment être les plus légers possibles, et présenter un faible encombrement tout en conservant une bonne résistance mécanique.Such cables are used in various fields of the industry, such as for example the automotive industry, where they are assembled into bundles for the power supply and / or the electrical control of various equipment. These cables must thus be the lightest possible, and have a small footprint while maintaining good mechanical strength.

De tels câbles sont classiquement formés par une pluralité de brins de cuivre, généralement torsadés pour former un toron, de façon à augmenter la flexibilité du câble, et entourés par une gaine isolante, obtenue par exemple par extrusion. La figure 1 montre un exemple d'un tel câble 1, vu en coupe transversale, et réalisé à partir de sept brins de cuivre identiques 20 entourés par une gaine isolante 30 de section circulaire. Pour donner un ordre d'idée, le diamètre du câble est typiquement de l'ordre de 1,6 mm et les brins de cuivre 20 présentent chacun un diamètre de l'ordre de 0,3 mm.Such cables are conventionally formed by a plurality of copper strands, generally twisted to form a strand, so as to increase the flexibility of the cable, and surrounded by an insulating sheath, obtained for example by extrusion. Figure 1 shows an example of such a cable 1, seen in cross section, and made from seven identical copper strands 20 surrounded by an insulating sheath 30 of circular section. To give an idea, the diameter of the cable is typically of the order of 1.6 mm and the copper strands 20 each have a diameter of the order of 0.3 mm.

Les avantages d'un câble selon la structure précédente résident essentiellement dans la simplicité du procédé de fabrication, mais également dans le fait qu'il permet d'avoir un sertissage fiable des connecteurs. En effet, il suffit de dénuder localement le câble en ôtant une portion de la gaine isolante 30 à l'endroit où l'on souhaite placer le connecteur, puis de venir compresser mécaniquement une douille du connecteur autour de la section de câble dénudée.The advantages of a cable according to the preceding structure lie essentially in the simplicity of the manufacturing process, but also in the fact that it allows to have a reliable crimping of the connectors. Indeed, it suffices to locally strip the cable by removing a portion of the insulating sheath 30 where it is desired to place the connector, then mechanically compress a socket of the connector around the stripped cable section.

En revanche, on s'est aperçu que le câble précédent utilise une quantité de cuivre surdimensionnée par rapport aux besoins réels correspondant à la quantité de courant à transmettre par le câble. Plus précisément, près de la moitié du cuivre dans la structure de câble précédente est utilisée pour augmenter la résistance à la traction du câble, mais aussi pour garantir l'efficacité du sertissage.On the other hand, it has been found that the preceding cable uses a quantity of copper that is oversized compared to the real needs corresponding to the quantity of current to be transmitted by the cable. Specifically, almost half of the copper in the previous cable structure is used to increase the tensile strength of the cable, but also to ensure the effectiveness of crimping.

Or, le cuivre coûte de plus en plus cher et il est important de trouver des nouvelles structures de câbles qui réduisent le plus possible la quantité de cuivre utilisé.Copper costs more and more and it is important to find new cable structures that minimize the amount of copper used.

On connaît déjà différentes solutions de câbles composites dans lesquels on combine des brins de cuivre avec un coeur en matériau non conducteur.Various solutions of composite cables in which copper strands are combined with a core of non-conductive material are already known.

L'inconvénient majeur de ces différentes solutions de câbles composites réside dans le fait qu'ils nécessitent tous un procédé de fabrication qui leur est propre, avec la fabrication d'outillages spécifiques pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé. Ainsi, l'utilisation d'une moins grande quantité de cuivre, qui devrait conduire à diminuer le coût du câble, entraîne finalement un surcoût en terme de procédé de fabrication.The major disadvantage of these different solutions of composite cables lies in the fact that they all require a manufacturing process of their own, with the manufacture of specific tools for the implementation of the method. Thus, the use of a smaller quantity of copper, which should lead to a reduction in the cost of the cable, ultimately entails additional costs in terms of the manufacturing process.

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une nouvelle structure de câble d'énergie ou de contrôle électrique de faible encombrement, de faible poids, de bonne résistance mécanique dont la fabrication peut être réalisée avec les mêmes outillages que ceux utilisés dans le cadre de la fabrication d'un câble selon la figure 1.The object of the present invention is to provide a new structure of energy cable or electrical control of small footprint, low weight, good mechanical strength whose manufacture can be achieved with the same tools as those used in the context of the manufacture of a cable according to FIG.

Ainsi, la présente invention a pour objet un câble de contrôle électrique de section de diamètre au plus égal à 2 mm, du type comportant une pluralité de brins s'étendant dans la direction longitudinale du câble, lesdits brins étant torsadés pour former un toron, caractérisé en ce que certains seulement des brins du toron sont en matériau électriquement conducteur, le reste des brins étant en un matériau non conducteur.Thus, the subject of the present invention is an electrical control cable with a diameter of at most 2 mm, of the type comprising a plurality of strands extending in the longitudinal direction of the cable, said strands being twisted to form a strand, characterized in that only some of the strands of the strand are of electrically conductive material, the remainder of the strands being of a non-conductive material.

De préférence, on choisi les différents brins de façon à ce que tous les brins en matériau électriquement conducteur sont identiques entre eux, et que tous les brins en matériau non conducteur sont identiques entre eux.Preferably, the different strands are selected so that all strands of electrically conductive material are identical to each other, and that all strands of non-conductive material are identical to each other.

Les brins en matériau électriquement conducteur d'une part, et les brins en matériau non conducteur d'autre part peuvent néanmoins présenter une section de taille différente.The strands of electrically conductive material on the one hand, and the strands of non-conductive material on the other hand may nevertheless have a section of different size.

Avantageusement, les brins en matériau électriquement conducteur sont agencés dans le toron de façon à être en contact les uns avec les autres sur toute leur longueur, et au moins un des brins en matériau électriquement conducteur est agencé dans le toron de façon à présenter une partie accessible depuis l'extérieur du toron sur toute sa longueur.Advantageously, the strands of electrically conductive material are arranged in the strand so as to be in contact with each other over their entire length, and at least one of the strands of electrically conductive material is arranged in the strand so as to present a part accessible from outside the strand along its entire length.

Le matériau non conducteur possède de préférence un allongement à la rupture supérieur à 10%.The non-conductive material preferably has an elongation at break greater than 10%.

Le matériau non conducteur peut être un polyamide.The non-conductive material may be a polyamide.

En variante, le matériau non conducteur est un polyester haute ténacité, ou un polyetherimide.Alternatively, the non-conductive material is a high tenacity polyester, or a polyetherimide.

Le matériau électriquement conducteur peut être le cuivre.The electrically conductive material may be copper.

Les brins en matériau non conducteur peuvent être des structures multi-brins.The strands of non-conductive material may be multi-stranded structures.

L'invention et ses avantages seront mieux compris au vu de la description suivante faite en référence aux figures annexées dans lesquelles :

  • la figure 1, déjà décrite précédemment, représente une coupe transversale d'un câble d'énergie selon l'art antérieur ;
  • la figure 2 illustre schématiquement un mode de réalisation possible d'un câble selon l'invention, vu également en coupe transversale.
The invention and its advantages will be better understood in view of the following description given with reference to the appended figures in which:
  • Figure 1, already described above, shows a cross section of an energy cable according to the prior art;
  • 2 schematically illustrates a possible embodiment of a cable according to the invention, also seen in cross section.

En remarque préliminaire, il convient de noter que les dessins annexés ne sont pas à l'échelle, mais permettent néanmoins de comparer différents câbles présentant tous un même diamètre extérieur, typiquement de l'ordre de 1,6 mm. Pour un câble de contrôle électrique conformément à l'invention, la section pourra présenter un diamètre différent, au plus égal à 2 mm, Par ailleurs, tous les câbles représentés présentent, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une section circulaire. Bien entendu, d'autres formes pourraient être envisagées sans sortir du cadre de la présente invention.As a preliminary remark, it should be noted that the accompanying drawings are not to scale, but nevertheless allow to compare different cables all having the same outer diameter, typically of the order of 1.6 mm. For an electrical control cable according to the invention, the section may have a different diameter, at most equal to 2 mm. Moreover, all the cables shown have, as a non-limiting example, a circular section. Of course, other forms could be envisaged without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Conformément à la figure 2, un câble de contrôle 1' selon un mode de réalisation possible conforme à l'invention se distingue du câble de contrôle 1 de la figure 1 en ce que certains des brins de cuivre (ou autre matériau électriquement conducteur, tel que de l'aluminium plaqué cuivre qui est un matériau plus économique et plus léger que le cuivre) formant le toron ont été remplacés par des brins 40 en un matériau non conducteur. Dans l'exemple de la figure 2, trois des brins de cuivre ont été remplacés par des brins 40 en matériau non conducteur.According to FIG. 2, a control cable 1 'according to a possible embodiment according to the invention differs from the control cable 1 of FIG. 1 in that some of the strands of copper (or other electrically conductive material, such as copper-plated aluminum which is a more economical and lighter material than copper) forming the strand have been replaced by strands 40 of a non-conductive material. In the example of Figure 2, three of the copper strands were replaced by strands 40 of non-conductive material.

Tout comme le câble de la figure 1, le câble 1' comporte en outre une gaine isolante 30 entourant le toron le long du câble.Like the cable of Figure 1, the cable 1 'further comprises an insulating sheath 30 surrounding the strand along the cable.

Ainsi, le procédé de fabrication mis en oeuvre pour la fabrication du câble 1', et les outillages associés, sont en tout point identiques à ceux utilisés pour la fabrication d'un câble 1.Thus, the manufacturing method used for the manufacture of the cable 1 ', and associated tools, are in all respects identical to those used for the manufacture of a cable 1.

Tous les brins de même nature doivent être identiques. Dans le cas de la figure 2, tous les brins présentent en outre une section de taille identique, typiquement de l'ordre de 0,3 mm.All strands of the same nature must be identical. In the case of Figure 2, all strands also have a section of the same size, typically of the order of 0.3 mm.

Néanmoins, on peut également prévoir l'utilisation de brins 40 de section différente, notamment inférieure en taille, à la section des brins 20. On obtient ainsi, à performance égale, un encombrement inférieur en section.However, it is also possible to provide the use of strands 40 of different section, especially smaller in size, the section of the strands 20. Thus, with equal performance, a smaller footprint section.

Le nombre et la section des brins 20 en matériau électriquement conducteur sont choisis de façon à permettre l'obtention d'une résistance linéique minimum pour le câble, typiquement inférieure à 100 Ohm/km.The number and the section of the strands 20 of electrically conductive material are chosen so as to obtain a minimum linear resistance for the cable, typically less than 100 Ohm / km.

Le nombre et la section des brins 40 en matériau non conducteur sont choisis de manière à conférer au câble la tenue mécanique désirée.The number and the section of the strands 40 of non-conductive material are chosen so as to give the cable the desired mechanical strength.

Ces choix dépendent bien évidemment également du matériau non conducteur utilisé. Il peut s'agir d'un polyamide. En variante, et de façon préférée, on utilisera du polyester haute ténacité, ou du polyetherimide, qui offrent une bonne tenue face à une élévation de température.These choices obviously also depend on the non-conductive material used. It can be a polyamide. Alternatively, and preferably, one will use high-tenacity polyester, or polyetherimide, which offer a good resistance to a rise in temperature.

De préférence, le matériau utilisé pour les brins non conducteur sera sélectionné dans une gamme de matériaux présentant un allongement à la rupture supérieur à 10%. Ainsi, quelle que soit la place des brins 40 à l'intérieur du câble, ce dernier présentera une très bonne résistance à la traction et au pliage.Preferably, the material used for the non-conductive strands will be selected from a range of materials having an elongation at break greater than 10%. Thus, regardless of the place of the strands 40 inside the cable, it will have a very good tensile strength and folding.

L'agencement des différents brins 20 dans le toron doit de préférence être choisi de façon à garantir un sertissage fiable pour la connexion du câble. Ce but est atteint en prévoyant qu'au moins un des brins 20 en matériau électriquement conducteur présente une partie accessible depuis l'extérieur du toron sur toute sa longueur. Sur l'exemple de réalisation de la figure 2, trois des brins de cuivre 20 présentent cette particularité. Ainsi, en dénudant localement le câble 1', l'accès à un brin électriquement conducteur est immédiat.The arrangement of the individual strands 20 in the strand should preferably be selected so as to ensure reliable crimping for the cable connection. This object is achieved by providing that at least one of the strands 20 of electrically conductive material has a portion accessible from outside the strand over its entire length. In the embodiment of FIG. 2, three of the copper strands 20 have this feature. Thus, by locally stripping the cable 1 ', access to an electrically conductive strand is immediate.

Par ailleurs, l'agencement des différents brins 20 dans le toron doit de préférence garantir un fonctionnement du câble même si l'un des brins 20 venait à être sectionné. Ce but est atteint en prévoyant que tous les brins 20 soient en contact les uns avec les autres sur toute leur longueur.Furthermore, the arrangement of the different strands 20 in the strand should preferably ensure operation of the cable even if one of the strands 20 was to be cut. This object is achieved by providing that all the strands 20 are in contact with each other throughout their entire length.

Grâce à l'invention, le coût du câble obtenu est diminué de façon importante du fait de la diminution de la quantité de cuivre utilisée.Thanks to the invention, the cost of the cable obtained is significantly reduced because of the decrease in the amount of copper used.
