2391 721
- 1 cjicA Bce I s can BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
THIS invention relates to electrical cable glands. More specifically, the invention relates to a sealing bush for sealing between a cable gland and an electrical cable extending through the gland.
Cable glands generally are used to anchor an electrical power cable to an electrical apparatus so that loads applied to the cable are not transferred to conductors inside the electrical apparatus. In some applications, for example in a flameproof (Ex d or E Ex d) apparatus, it is necessary to have a seal which retains the flameproof integrity of the apparatus. In other words, the seal must be capable, under explosion fault conditions, of preventing hot ignited material such as burning gas from escaping through the cable gland.
In other applications, it is necessary to have a seal which prevents the ingress of dust, moisture or other undesirable substances into the electrical apparatus. Various different types of cable gland seals are known. For example, it is known to form a seal by introducing a gettable compound between the cable gland bore and the outer sheath of an unamnoured cable or the bedding of
- 2 an armoured cable. This type of seal is advantageous in that it can accommodate cables with different diameters relatively easily. Also, the seal does not apply radial force to the cable and therefore does not deform the cable sheath or bedding. However, these seals tend to be relatively difficult to inspect. Furthermore, if the cable material is not compatible with the settabie compound the adhesion between the seal and the cable may not be adequate. Also, axial tension in the cable which reduces the cable diameter can create a gap between the seal and the cable.
More recent designs include elastomeric bushes which are stretched over an electrical cable or retained within the cable gland bore. These bushes are designed to expand outwardly against the cable gland bore or to close down radially onto the cable under axial compression during installation of the cable gland. A disadvantage associated with this type of seal is that it is constantly under stress and constantly applies radial force to the cable sheath or bedding. Both the bush and the cable therefore are susceptible to deformation and creep which can affect the integrity of the seal. Furthermore, in the case of tweak backs bushes which include a circumferencial groove in the outer surface thereof, axial compression of the bush during installation causes the bush to deform or kink inwards and this creates a relatively high stress zone around the bush which can have an adverse effect on the long-
terrn integrity of the seal.
Another conventional seal includes an annular elastomeric sock element which is housed within the cable gland and which is stretched radially over an electrical cable when the cable is inserted into the cable gland. These seals tend to be relatively thin, and although they apply low pressures to the cable, in use, they can split when stretched over relatively large diameter cables.
( - 3 It is an object of the present invention to provide an alternative cable gland seal which is capable of accommodating electrical cables of different diameters, which can form a proper seal on an imperfectly circular cable bedding or sheath, and which can maintain a proper seal on polymeric insulated cables which are susceptible to plastic deformation and creep.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention there is provided an electrical cable gland seal comprising a generally annular bush which defines an outer sealing surface for engaging an electrical cable gland component and an inner sealing surface for engaging an electrical cable, wherein the inner sealing surface includes at least one annular, resilient sealing projection which is deformable so as to define a dilatable opening, and which when deformed by a suitably sized electrical cable inserted into the bush stretches over the cable to form a seal around an outer sheath or a bedding of the cable.
In one embodiment of the invention, the seal includes a plurality of sealing projections, preferably three, each of which is defommable by an electrical cable without interference from an adjacent sealing projection. In this embodiment, the sealing projections may increase in size from a first end of the bush to a second end thereof. In this way, the sealing projections define different degrees of elastomeric stretch and can accommodate electrical cables with different diameters within a predetermined range.
The sealing projections may also be inclined so as to extend inwardly and towards the second end of the bush. In this case, the sealing projections may be inclined at different angles relative to the longitudinal axis of the bush, for
- 4 example at increasing angles from the first end of the bush to the second end thereof.
In a particularly preferred embodiment, the sealing projections increase in size from the first end of the bush to the second end thereof, and are inclined relative to the longitudinal axis of the bush at increasing angles from the first end of the bush to the second end thereof.
In one application, the seal is designed for use with flameproof (Ex d or E Ex d) apparatus to contain explosive gas pressure within the flameproof apparatus. The seal may be moulded as a single unit, or it may comprise two or more, typically three, segments which are connectable to one another.
Preferably, the seal is moulded from one or more elastomeric materials such as a natural or synthetic rubber.
The bush may also be connectable to one or more electrical cable gland components. In another embodiment of the invention, the generally annular bush has the form of a bellows or a bellows-type structure in which portions of the inner surface project inwardly to define the sealing projections within the bush. In this case, the sealing projections typically will be the same size.
- 5 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of an electrical cable gland seal according to the present invention; Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the seal of Figure 1 with an electrical cable passing through the seal; Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view similar to that of Figure 2 with a larger diameter electrical cable; Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view similar to that of Figure 3 with yet a larger diameter electrical cable; Figure 5 shows a cross-sectional view of an electrical cable gland seal according to another embodiment of the invention; and Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of a further embodiment of the electrical cable gland seal of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings illustrates an electrical cable gland seal 10 according to the present invention. As can be seen, the seal 10 comprises a generally annular bush 12 which defines an outer surface 14 for
- 6 engaging the inner surface of an electrical cable gland component (not illustrated), and an inner surface 16 for engaging an electrical cable (also not illustrated). In this embodiment of the invention, the seal 10 includes three annular sealing projections 18A, 18B and 18C on the inner surface 16 thereof. The sealing projections are seen in Figure 1 to increase in size from a first end 20 of the bush 12 to a second end 22 thereof. Each sealing projection is also seen to extend inwardly and towards the second end 22 so as to be inclined relative to the longitudinal axis 24 of the bush.
The seal 10 is moulded from an elastomeric material such as a natural or synthetic rubber and is hence resilient in nature. In the illustrated embodiment, the bush 12 is formed from three segments 12A, 12B and 12C which are connectable to one another with connecting formations 26, as shown. The connecting formations 26 comprise male connectors on the segments 12B and 12C which are engageable with corresponding female connectors on the segments 1 2A and 1 2B, respectively.
With reference also to Figures 2 to 4 of the accompanying drawings, each sealing projection 1 8A, 1 8B and 1 8C is deformable so as to define a dilatable opening 28A, 28B or 28C for receiving an electrical cable. In Figure 2, an electrical cable 30 having a diameter larger than the opening 28A but smaller than the openings 28B and 28C is located within the bush 12 so as to be engaged by the sealing projection 18A. It will be appreciated that during insertion of the cable 30 into the bush 12, the sealing projection 18A is deformed as the relatively large diameter cable penetrates the opening 28A and thereby forms a seal around the sheath of the cable.
- 7 In Figure 3 of the drawings, an electrical cable 32 having a diameter larger than the openings 28A and 28B but smaller than the opening 28C is located within the bush 12 so as to be engaged by the sealing projections 18A and 18B. In this case, as the cable 32 penetrates the openings 28A and 28B, the sealing projections 18A and 18B are stretched over the cable to form seals around the sheath of this cable.
Figure 4 illustrates an electrical cable 34 engaged by all three sealing projections 18A, 18B and 18C. In this case, the cable 34 has a diameter larger than all of the openings 28A, 28B and 28C, and accordingly all of the sealing projections are stretched over the cable to form seals around the sheath of this cable.
It will be appreciated that the seal 10 is capable of accommodating differently sized electrical cables within a predetemmined range relatively easily, and that in each case at least one of the sealing projections 18A, 18B and 18C engages the cable to form a seal around the sheath of the cable. It will also be understood that at least one of the sealing projections 1 8A, 1 8B and 1 8C will form a seal around the cable without causing excessive distortion to polymeric insulation on the cable and without causing excessive stretch to the sealing projection, and that imperfections in the polymeric insulation, for example an imperfectly circular cable profile, will be accommodated by the resiliency of the sealing formations.
In practice, the seal 10 is located over the end of an electrical cable during installation of an electrical cable gland (not shown) with the second end 22 of the seal 10 facing an electrical apparatus (also not shown) on which the cable is to be anchored. The seal 10 typically is located within a bore of the electrical cable gland so that during installation the seal is compressed
( - 8 longitudinally and expands radially into sealing engagement with the cable gland. When this occurs, a seal is formed between the electrical cable and the bore of the electrical cable gland. It should be appreciated that the bush could also be arranged to form an interference fit with the bore of the cable gland. In one application, the electrical cable gland seal 10 is used to form a seal between an electrical cable and an electrical cable gland anchored to a flameproof (Ex d or E Ex d) apparatus, thereby to prevent hot ignited material such as burning gas to escape from the apparatus between the cable gland and the electrical cable. In this application, the orientation of the sealing projections 1 8A, 1 8B and 1 8C, i.e. the inclination of these projections towards the flameproof apparatus, serves to improve the sealing function because relatively high pressures on the apparatus side of the sealing projection 1 8A tend to force the free end of this sealing projection against the outer sheath or the bedding of the electrical cable.
Figure illustrates another embodiment of the electrical cable gland seal according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the seal 110 includes a generally annular bush 112 in the form of a bellows. The bush 112 is formed from an elastomeric, resilient material and defines an outer surface 114 and an inner surface 116. As can be seen, the inner surface 116 includes sealing projections 118A and 118B which extend radially inwardly towards a longitudinal axis 120 of the bush 1 12.
In this case, when an electrical cable (not shown) is inserted into the seal 110, the bush 112 is extended longitudinally, concertina fashion, to allow openings 122A and 122B defined by the sealing projections 118A and 118B to dilate, and subsequently is released so as to allow the sealing projections
- 9. to recoil towards the Figure 5 condition, thereby clamping onto the cable to form a seal around the sheath of the cable.
Figure 6 illustrates another embodiment of an electrical cable gland seal according to the present invention. In this embodiment, the seal 210 includes sealing projections 218A and 218B which are more Unshaped in cross-
section than the sealing projections 118A and 118B of the Figure 5 embodiment. Apart from this, the seal 210 is similar in ail other respects to the seal 110 and is fined to an electrical cable in a similar manner to that described above with reference to Figure 5 of the drawings.
One advantage of the electrical cable gland seal according to the invention is that it is relatively easy to install properly. Another advantage is that the seal can be used with a number of differently sized electrical cables within a predetermined range. Furthermore, the resiliency of the sealing projections allows them to form a proper seal on electrical cables with imperfectly circular profiles, and to maintain the seal even when the profile of polymeric insulation on the cable is subjected to plastic deformation and creep, in use.
Finally, the plurality of sealing projections allow for a multiplicity of sealing points of which at least one applies a desirable pressure to the cable so as not to cause excessive distortion to the sheath or the bedding of the cable and not to cause excessive stretch to the sealing projection.
