Description

La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif de prise en main d'un câble coaxial. L'invention trouve tout particulièrement son application dans le domaine des télécommunications numériques.The present invention relates to a device of handling a coaxial cable. The invention finds especially its application in the field digital telecommunications.

Les liaisons au sein d'un réseau de télécommunications sont effectuées par câbles et par faisceaux hertziens. Les faisceaux hertziens sont des liaisons point à point utilisant comme support de transmission des ondes hyperfréquences dans l'intervalle lGHz-50GHz. Une liaison hertzienne permet d'établir une communication bidirectionnelle entre deux stations terminales, la communication pouvant transiter par des stations intermédiaires séparées d'environ 50 kilomètres les unes des autres. Chaque station est ensuite reliée à un réseau câblé de télécommunications.Links within a network of telecommunications are carried out by cables and by radio-relay systems. Radio-relay systems are point to point connections using as support microwave wave transmission in the interval lGHz-50GHz. A radio link allows establish two-way communication between two terminal stations, communication can pass through by intermediate stations separated by about 50 kilometers from each other. Each station is then connected to a cable telecommunications network.

L'équipement de ces stations est essentiellement constitué d'une antenne et d'un émetteur-récepteur. L'antenne se compose habituellement d'une ouverture en forme de cornet, qui rayonne une onde véhiculée par un guide d'ondes, et d'un ou plusieurs déflecteurs de forme généralement parabolique. L'ouverture rayonnante est toujours située au foyer de la parabole. Le guide d'ondes est relié par son autre extrémité à un émetteur-récepteur situé dans un local à proximité de l'antenne.The equipment of these stations is essentially consisting of an antenna and a transceiver. The antenna usually consists of an opening in shape of a horn, which radiates a wave carried by a waveguide, and one or more deflectors of generally parabolic form. The radiant opening is always located at the focus of the parable. Guide wave is connected by its other end to a transceiver located in a room near the antenna.

Cependant, le guide d'ondes est un support de transmission très coûteux. Donc, pour limiter sa longueur, l'émetteur-récepteur est depuis quelques années directement installé sur l'antenne . L'émetteur-récepteur est désormais relié à l'antenne par un guide d'ondes de faible longueur et au réseau câblé de télécommunications par un câble coaxial moins onéreux que le guide d'ondes.However, the waveguide is a support for very expensive transmission. So to limit its length, the transceiver has been for a few years directly installed on the antenna. The transceiver is now connected to the antenna by a guide short waves and the cable network of telecommunications by a cheaper coaxial cable than the waveguide.

Le câble coaxial est un support haute fréquence constitué d'un conducteur intérieur en cuivre entouré d'un blindage concentrique, en cuivre ou en aluminium, en principe au potentiel de la terre. Ils sont séparés par un diélectrique en polyéthylène. Le câble est, par ailleurs, recouvert d'une gaine isolante.The coaxial cable is a high frequency support consisting of an inner copper conductor surrounded concentric shielding, copper or aluminum, in principle to the potential of the earth. They are separated by a polyethylene dielectric. The cable is, for elsewhere, covered with an insulating sheath.

Pour faciliter l'installation du câble coaxial sur le pylône supportant l'antenne et pour ajuster au mieux sa longueur, le connecteur permettant la liaison entre le câble et l'émetteur-récepteur est monté une fois le câble en place. Le connecteur comprend essentiellement une âme et une férule. L'âme est une tige métallique creuse dans laquelle on enfile et on soude le conducteur central du câble coaxial. La férule est une bague métallique qui se place autour du blindage du câble.To facilitate the installation of the coaxial cable on the pylon supporting the antenna and to best adjust its length, the connector allowing the connection between the cable and the transceiver is mounted once the cable in place. The connector basically includes a soul and a ferrule. The soul is a metal rod dig into which we thread and weld the central conductor of the coaxial cable. The ferrule is a metal ring which is placed around the shielding of the cable.

Les opérations à effectuer sur le câble coaxial lors du montage d'un connecteur sur le câble sont essentiellement des opérations de coupe et de dénudage de la gaine isolante du câble. Cette préparation du câble est suivie d'une étape de positionnement et de soudure des éléments du connecteur sur le câble coaxial.The operations to be carried out on the coaxial cable when mounting a connector on the cable are essentially cutting and stripping operations of the cable insulating sheath. This preparation of cable is followed by a positioning step and soldering of the connector elements on the cable coaxial.

Les figures 1A et 1B illustrent le positionnement de deux types de connecteurs sur des câbles coaxiaux de diamètres différents. Sur les deux figures, un connecteur constitué d'une âme 1 et d'une férule 2 est monté sur un câble coaxial 3. Des orifices 5 et 6 sont prévus respectivement dans l'âme 1 et dans la férule 2 pour souder l'âme 1 sur le conducteur central 4 du câble coaxial 3 et la férule 2 sur le blindage de ce même câble coaxial 3. Les connecteurs représentés sont de type N à la figure 1A et de type TNC à la figure 1B. Les dimensions des éléments des connecteurs sont différentes suivant le type de connecteur. Le positionnement de l'âme 1 sur le câble coaxial 3 est repéré par une cote d sur la figure lA et par une cote d' sur la figure 1B. Ces cotes représentent la distance entre un épaulement situé à proximité de la pointe de l'âme et l'extrémité du diélectrique en polyéthylène. Les cotes d et d' valent respectivement 15 millimètres et 6 millimètres.Figures 1A and 1B illustrate the positioning of two types of connectors on coaxial cables of different diameters. In the two figures, a connector consisting of a core 1 and a ferrule 2 is mounted on a coaxial cable 3. Ports 5 and 6 are provided respectively in the core 1 and in the ferrule 2 to weld the core 1 on the central conductor 4 of the coaxial cable 3 and ferrule 2 on the shield of this same coaxial cable 3. The connectors shown are of type N in FIG. 1A and of type TNC in FIG. 1B. The dimensions of the connector elements are different depending on the type of connector. The positioning of the core 1 on the coaxial cable 3 is marked by a dimension d in FIG. 1A and by a dimension in Figure 1B. These dimensions represent the distance between a shoulder located near the point of the core and the end of the polyethylene dielectric. Dimensions d and d are respectively 15 millimeters and 6 millimeters.

La qualité du montage du connecteur sur le câble coaxial est primordiale dans le domaine des télécommunications numériques. En effet, la transmission d'informations numériques ne supporte pas les mauvais contacts éventuels au niveau du connecteur. Ces mauvais contacts sont fréquemment à l'origine de pertes de synchronisation ou de coupures de liaison.The quality of the connector mounting on the cable coaxial is essential in the field of digital telecommunications. Indeed, the transmission of digital information does not support any bad contacts at the connector. These bad contacts are frequently the cause of loss of synchronization or connection breaks.

Or le montage des connecteurs peut être parfois très délicat. En effet, il est généralement effectué sur site, dans des endroits ventés et, par tous les temps. En cas de maintenance, ces conditions de travail défavorables sont encore aggravées par le fait qu'il est d'usage d'opérer la nuit, lorsque l'activité du réseau est réduite.However, the mounting of the connectors can sometimes be very delicate. Indeed, it is generally carried out on site, in windy locations, and by all time. In case of maintenance, these working conditions are further compounded by the fact that it It is customary to operate at night, when the activity of the network is reduced.

On comprend alors que toutes ces conditions peuvent engendrer des défauts de connectique.We then understand that all these conditions may cause connection faults.

Un but de l'invention est de réaliser un outil ergonomique de prise en main d'un câble coaxial permettant de faciliter les opérations de coupe et de dénudage sur site dudit câble coaxial. An object of the invention is to produce a tool ergonomic handling of a coaxial cable to facilitate cutting and stripping of said coaxial cable on site.

A cet effet, l'invention consiste en un dispositif de prise en main d'un câble coaxial, portable et adaptable au diamètre du câble coaxial pour bloquer ledit câble coaxial, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une partie femelle de forme cylindrique traversée axialement par un alésage fileté à son extrémité externe et par un premier canal de passage dudit câble coaxial dans le prolongement dudit alésage, un serre-câble logé dans le fond dudit alésage, et une partie mâle de forme cylindrique prolongé par un embout fileté qui se visse dans l'extrémité externe dudit alésage de la partie femelle de manière à ce que le serre-câble se referme sur ledit câble coaxial au fur et à mesure de la progression de l'embout de la partie mâle dans l'alésage de la partie femelle, ladite partie mâle étant traversée axialement par un second canal de passage dudit câble coaxial.To this end, the invention consists of a device of handling a coaxial cable, portable and adaptable to the diameter of the coaxial cable to block said coaxial cable, characterized in that it comprises a female part of cylindrical shape crossed axially by a threaded bore at its end external and by a first passage channel of said cable coaxial in the extension of said bore, a cable clamp housed in the bottom of said bore, and part male cylindrical shape extended by a threaded end which is screwed into the outer end of said bore of the female part so that the cable clamp is closes on said coaxial cable as and when the progression of the tip of the male part in the bore of the female part, said male part being crossed axially by a second channel of passage of said coaxial cable.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée, le diamètre extérieure de la partie mâle et de la partie femelle du dispositif est d'environ 4 centimètres. Cette forme de réalisation facilitera ainsi le maintien dans une main de l'extrémité d'un câble coaxial.In a preferred embodiment, the external diameter of the male part and of the part female of the device is about 4 centimeters. This embodiment will thus facilitate maintenance in one hand from the end of a coaxial cable.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit et qui est faite en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • les figure 1A et 1B sont des schémas de positionnement de deux types de connecteurs sur deux câbles coaxiaux de diamètres différents; et
  • la figure 2A et 2B sont respectivement une vue éclatée et une vue en coupe d'un dispositif de prise en main d'un câble coaxial selon l'invention.
Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the detailed description which follows and which is given with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • FIGS. 1A and 1B are diagrams of positioning of two types of connectors on two coaxial cables of different diameters; and
  • FIG. 2A and 2B are respectively an exploded view and a sectional view of a device for handling a coaxial cable according to the invention.

Les figures 1A et 1B ont été préalablement décrites dans le préambule de la description.Figures 1A and 1B have been previously described in the preamble to the description.

La figure 2A et la figure 2B sont respectivement une vue éclatée et une vue en coupe d'un dispositif de prise en main 10 d'un câble coaxial selon l'invention. Du fait de leur complémentarité, ces deux figures seront décrites conjointement. Ce dispositif 10 est une pince portable qui s'adapte au diamètre d'un câble par l'intermédiaire d'un serre-câble. Il est composé de trois éléments : une partie femelle 11, une partie mâle 12 et un serre-câble 13.Figure 2A and Figure 2B are respectively an exploded view and a sectional view of a device for handling 10 of a coaxial cable according to the invention. Because of their complementarity, these two figures will be described jointly. This device 10 is a portable clamp that adapts to the diameter of a cable by through a cable tie. It is composed of three elements: a female part 11, a male part 12 and a cable clamp 13.

La partie femelle 11 comprend pour l'essentiel un corps cylindrique dont le diamètre et l'état de sa surface externe sont étudiés pour une bonne prise en main. Le diamètre du corps cylindrique est d'environ 4 à 5 centimètres. Ce corps est traversé axialement par un alésage 14 de réception d'un embout 15 de la partie mâle 12. L'alésage 14 se prolonge par un canal 16 de passage d'un câble coaxial. Près de son orifice d'entrée, l'alésage 14 est fileté tandis qu'en son extrémité interne, il se termine par une portée conique 17 faisant la frontière avec le canal 16. La portée conique 17 est destinée à coopérer avec le serre-câble 13.The female part 11 essentially comprises a cylindrical body whose diameter and condition external surface are studied for a good grip hand. The diameter of the cylindrical body is approximately 4 at 5 centimeters. This body is crossed axially by a bore 14 for receiving a nozzle 15 of the part male 12. The bore 14 is extended by a channel 16 of passage of a coaxial cable. Near its opening inlet, bore 14 is threaded while in its internal end, it ends with a span conical 17 forming the border with channel 16. The conical bearing 17 is intended to cooperate with the cable clamp 13.

Le serre-câble 13 s'enfile comme un piston dans l'alésage 14 de la partie femelle 11. Le serre-câble 13 est constitué d'un anneau cylindrique 18 prolongé par un jeu de mâchoires 19 à extrémités coniques coopérant avec la portée conique 17 de la partie femelle 11. La partie mâle 12 vient en butée contre le serre-câble 13.The cable clamp 13 slides like a piston into the bore 14 of the female part 11. The cable clamp 13 consists of a cylindrical ring 18 extended by a set of jaws 19 with conical ends cooperating with the conical bearing 17 of the female part 11. The male part 12 abuts against the cable clamp 13.

La partie mâle 12 est constituée d'un corps cylindrique de même diamètre et même état de surface externe que la partie femelle 11. Ce corps cylindrique est prolongé d'un embout fileté 15 destiné à être vissé dans la partie filetée de l'alésage 14 de la partie femelle 11.The male part 12 consists of a body cylindrical with the same diameter and same surface condition external than the female part 11. This cylindrical body is extended by a threaded end piece 15 intended to be screwed in the threaded part of the bore 14 of the part female 11.

Par ailleurs, la partie mâle 12 est traversée axialement par un canal 20 pour le passage d'un câble. Lorsque la partie mâle 12 est engagée dans la partie femelle 11, le canal 20 est dans le prolongement du canal 16 de la partie femelle 11.Furthermore, the male part 12 is crossed axially by a channel 20 for the passage of a cable. When the male part 12 is engaged in the part female 11, channel 20 is an extension of channel 16 of the female part 11.

L'emploi de cet outil de maintien d'un câble coaxial est très simple. Dans un premier temps, on dévisse la partie mâle 12 de la partie femelle 11 de telle sorte que le jeu de mâchoires 19 soit dans une position d'ouverture. Dans un second temps, on passe le câble coaxial dans le canal 20, l'anneau 18 et le canal 16 puis on visse la partie mâle 12.The use of this cable holding tool coaxial is very simple. At first, we unscrew the male part 12 from the female part 11 of so that the jaw set 19 is in a open position. Then, we pass the coaxial cable in channel 20, ring 18 and channel 16 then screw the male part 12.

Au fur et à mesure de la progression de l'embout 15 dans l'alésage 14, le jeu de mâchoires 19 se referme sur le câble et le bloque.As the tip progresses 15 in the bore 14, the set of jaws 19 closes on the cable and blocks it.

Cet outil permet d'améliorer nettement la prise en main du câble coaxial. Il permet notamment de garder des gants pour effectuer les opérations de dénudage sur le câble coaxial.This tool significantly improves the hand of coaxial cable. It allows in particular to keep gloves for carrying out stripping operations on the coaxial cable.
