An object of the invention is to provide a partly flexible and leak-tight connecting element for connecting the main conductor of a line cable to one of the terminals of a leak-proof repeater of so called rigid type.
Another object of the invention is to provide an element, having a coaxial structure for connecting the first auxiliary conductor with the second auxiliary conductor of a cable having an insulated main conductor, a first auxiliary conductor having no insulation and extending7 along a part of the cable and a second auxiliary conductor, having an insulation and extending along another part of the cable.
The invention applies, for example, to cables having an underwater repeater of the so-called rigid type, comprising a metallic vessel within which a low pressure prevails and which is externally isolated from sea water, for instance, by means of a molded polyethylene cover, and provided with two leak-proof connections; the mechanical connection between the repeater and the cable section or line cable being provided by a first member surrounding the repeater and a second member surrounding the end of the line cable; and the two members being assembled by a universal joint.
An electrical connection between the conductors of the line cable and the repeater is generally provided by a more or less flexible linking cable, having a relatively short length of some tens of centimeters.
An object of the present invention is to provide such a linking cable having a coaxial arrangement.
According to the invention, the linking cable comprises a central insulated conductor the ends of which are connected with the central conductor of the cable line and with one of the terminals of the repeater respectively. This insulated central conductor passes through an axial bore of a metallic member having a central collar or flange having transverse dimension greater than the transverse dimension of the remaining parts of the metallic member. Two insulating covers are molded around these remaining parts and preferably around a length of each extremity of the central conductor extending from the ends of the axial bore of the metallic member. One of these extremities comprise an outer conductor which is connected to the central collar of the fiange, the other extremity comprises an outer conductor connected with the end of the metallic member; this other extremity is preferably entirely covered with an insulating layer which is also disposed around the repeater, the latter outer conductor being connected with a second terminal of this repeater.
It is to be understood in the foregoing as well as in the following description that the invention is in no way limited to the use of polyethylene which is given here only as an example of a suitable insulating material. Although the applicant prefers the use of synthetic materials such as polyethylene, it is obvious that many other moldable insulating materials may be used in a connecting element of the invention.
The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 shows an element of a submarine transmission line of the invention, comprising a conventional repeater of which only some parts have been illustrated, and
FIGURE 2 isa section of a part of the element illustrated in FIGURE 1.
FIGURE 1 shows an example of the element of a submarine line according to the invention, comprising a repeater 3S and a line cable 29. The repeater 35 partly illustrated in FIGURE l, comprises a repeating circuit (not shown) arranged in a vessel 13 through which extend two conductors 11 and 12 connected with the conductors of line cable 29 through a linking cable having three distinct parts 1, 1 and 1" and a connecting box 60.
The cable designated by numeral 29 comprises an external armor 30, an outer conductor 31, an insulating layer 32 and an inner conductor 33.
For mechanical connection of the cable 29 with the repeater 35, the latter comprises a metallic housing 16 made of several assembled parts surrounding the repeater including a substantially cylindrical extension 16 surrounding the parts 1 and 1' of the linking cable and the connecting box 60.
On the other hand, cable 29 is mechanically connected to a connecting member comprising a first cylindrical member 36 inserted between the external conductor 31 and the armor 30 and a second cylindrical member 19 having a ball-shaped end 17, a flange 18 being provided between member 36 and member 19. The armor 30 is secured to flange 18, for example, by means of nuts 37. The ball-shaped end 17 of the member 19 is rotatably mounted about an axle 4G secured to the end of the cylindrical extension 16'.
The mechanical connection described hereinabove makes it possibleA to strongly secure the armor of the cable 29 to the housing of the repeater 35. It is to be understood that the universal joint of FIGURE l has been described only as an example, since other conventional connecting `means may be used in association with the electrical connection of the invention as it will appear from the description below.
The external conductor 31 of cable 29 is electrically connected to the cylindrical member 36 which is therefore used also as an electrical conductor. The inner conlductor 33 is connected to an inner conductor 4 of the part 1" of the linking cable which comprises an insulating layer 3 made of polyethylene, for example. Conductor 4 of the part 1 has a much smaller cross section than that of conductor 33, thus giving a certain ilexibility to the linking cable, which passes through a central bore of the cylindrical member 19 and continues as a part 1 which comprises an additional conductor 2 made of interlaced wires 21 surrounding the polyethylene insulating layer 3. By one end the wires 21 of the composite conductor 2 are electrically connected to the ball-shaped end 17 of the member 19 by connections such as 21 and 22. By the other end the wires 21 are connected toa collar 61 of a connection box 60. The other end of the inner conductor 4 of the cable 1 passes through this box 60 and is connected to the repeater as will be described below.
Connection box 60 comprises a lower part 7 extended by the part 1' of the linking cable having an inner conductor designated also by the reference numeral 4 connected to conductor 12 of the repeater 3S and an external conductor 9 connected with the conductor 11 of the repeater 35. To ensure a proper insulation a polyethylene cover 8 is molded around conductors 9, this cover 8 being integral with a polyethylene cover 14 molded around the vessel 13 of the repeater. Cover 14 ensures at the same time the tightness of the vessel 13 and the insulation between the housing 16, the vessel 13 and the conductors 11 and 12.
FIGURE 2 shows a detail section of the connection box 60 connecting the part 1 with the part 1 of the linking cable. Part 1 has an insulated inner conductor 4 and a non-insulated outer conductor 2. Part 1' has an inner conductor 4 and an external conductor 9 with interposed insulating layers 3 and 8. Connection box 60 comprises metallic member 6 having two substantially elongated cylindrical parts 62 and 63 and a central ilange or collar 61. The inner conductor 4 and its insulating cover 3 of cable 1 pass through an axial bore of member 6 (FIG- URE 2). A polyethylene cover 5 is molded around part 62 of member 6 and around a given length of the inner conductor 4 and its insulation 3 of the part 1. The wires of the conductor 2 of the part 1 are positioned around the cover 5 and are welded to the periphery of the flange or collar 61. The part 1' comprises a cylindrical conductor 9 positioned around the insulation 3 of the inner conductor 4. Conductor 9 is electrically connected to the extremity 64 the part 63 of the member 6. The extremity 64 has an elongated shape and the connection ofthe conductor 9 therewith may be carried out by itting the extremity 64 into the cylindrical conductor 9.
A polyethylene cover 7 is molded around said parts 63-64 and a given length of the conductor 9; this cover is extended also all along the cable 1 but has -a lower thickness (cover 8i, FIGURE 2).
In the description above, it has been said that the elements 3, 5, 7, 8 and 14 are made of polyethylene. While this material is preferred by the applicant, it is to be understo-od that it has been cited only as an example and most of the known synthetic materials having similar mechanical and electrical properties may be used in the device of the invention. The elements of the mechanical connection (17, 18, 19, 36, 16, and 16') are preferably made of a nonmagnetic metal having good electrical conductivity such as bronze.
In the device of the invention, the external conductor of the line cable (cable 29, FIGURE l) is in contact with sea water While the connection box (60, FIGURE 1) ensures a leak-proof connection of the inner conductor 4 and the external conductor 9 to the input terminals 11 and 12 of the repeater, the general coaxial arrangement of the conductors being preserved from the line cable to the repeater.
The invention has been described for the case of a line cable having an external armor (30, FIGURE 1) but it is obvious that the invention also applies to cable lines having an armored inner conductor as a matter of fact the mechanical connection described above is conventional and may be replaced by another conventional mechanical connection adapted for cables having a armored inner conductor.
