Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lenkkabel für einen mit Lichtsignalen fernlenkbaren Flugkörper, der ein vom jo Flugkörper abziehbares und mindestens einen Lichtwellenleiter umfassendes Kabel aufweist.The invention relates to a steering cable for a missile that can be remotely steered with light signals, which is a part of the jo Has missile removable and at least one optical waveguide comprehensive cable.
Zur Fernle: kung von Flugkörpern dienen vornehmlich elektrische Kabel, die Nachteile wegen der Störbarkeit der zu übertragenden elektrischen Signale durch elektrische Felder und dur^h statische elektrische Aufladungen aufweisen. Man ist deshalb bestrebt, z. B. entsprechend der FR 23 91 908 die Signalübertragung mit bekannten lichttechnischen Mitteln vorzunehmen, was aber bisher in Ermangelung eines in Längen von einigen Kilometern herstellbaren Übetragungskabels geeigneten Gewichts und Querschnitts sowie einer ausreichenden Zugfestigkeit nicht durchführbar ist. Um die Übertragungseigenschaften des Lichtleiters r./cht ungünstig zu beeinflussen, muß dieser ferner im fertigen Kabel frei von Druck- und Zugspannungen gelagert sein.For the Fernle: kung of missiles mainly electrical cables are used, the disadvantages because of the Interference of the electrical signals to be transmitted by electrical fields and by static electrical Have charges. It is therefore endeavored to z. B. according to FR 23 91 908 the signal transmission to make with known lighting technology, but what so far in the absence of one in lengths of a few kilometers of manufacturable transmission cable suitable weight and cross-section as well as one sufficient tensile strength is not feasible. To improve the transmission properties of the light guide r./cht To have an unfavorable influence, it must also be stored in the finished cable free of compressive and tensile stresses be.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Lenkkabel für den oben genannten Anwendungszweck zu schaffen, das den dabei auftretenden hohen Anforderungen hinsichtlich seiner Reißfestigkeit, seines geringen Gewichts und geringen Raumbedarfs genügt und das mit wirtschaftlich vertretbarem Aufwand in Längen von einigen Kilometern herstellbar ist, wobei im fertigen Kabel der Lichtleiter frei von Zug- und Druckspannungen gelagert ist.The invention is based on the object of a steering cable for the above-mentioned purpose to create that meets the high demands that arise in terms of its tear resistance, its low weight and space requirements are sufficient and with an economically justifiable effort in Can be produced in lengths of a few kilometers, with the light guide in the finished cable free of tension and tension Compressive stress is stored.
An einem Lenkkabel der eingangs genannten Art, dessen Lichtleiter von einer Silikonumhüllung und einem Kunststoffmantel umgeben ist, ist diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der üchtwellenleiter des Lenkkabels mit seiner Silikonumhüllung und seinem Kunststoffmantel längsverschiebbar in einer aus einem Geflecht bestehenden äußeren, Zugkräfte aufnehmenden Umhüllung angeordnet ist, deren Fäden nur auf der äußeren Oberfläche aneinander befestigt sind.On a steering cable of the type mentioned, the light guide of which is covered with silicone and is surrounded by a plastic sheath, this object is achieved according to the invention in that the light waveguide of the steering cable with its silicone sheath and its plastic sheath can be moved lengthways in one a braid existing outer, tensile forces absorbing envelope is arranged, the threads only are attached to each other on the outer surface.
Weitere Ausbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Further developments of the invention are described in the subclaims.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt, die einen stufenweise von seinen Umhüllungen befreiten Lichtwellenleiter zeigt.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing, which is a gradual of his Sheaths freed optical fiber shows.
Der Lichtwellenleiter 2 bekannter Ausführungsform ist im Ausführungsbeispiel von einer Silikonumhüllung 8 und einem Kunststoffmantel 3 umgeben und in dieser oder einer anderen bekannten Ausbildungsform in geeigneten Abmessungen herstellbar. Zur Erlangung einer ausreichenden Zugfestigkeit für einen Lichtwellenleiter dieser oder ähnlicher Bauart ist dieser längsverschiebbar in einer äußeren Umhüllung 4 gelagert, die als Geflecht 3 mit derzeit bekannten Mitteln ebenfalls herstellbar ist und dessen Fäden 6 weitgehend nur auf der äußeren Oberfläche 5 aneinander befestigt sind. Diese Befestigung ist durch Auftragen eines Bindemittels 7 auf der äußeren Oberfläche 5 hergestellt, welches das Geflecht 3 nur soweit durchdringt, daß die Längsverschiebbarkeit des Lichtwellenleiters 2 nicht behindert wird. In einer anderen Ausbildungsform bestehen die Fäden 6 der Umhüllung 4 aus thermoplastischem Material und sind nur an ihrer äußeren Oberfläche 5 miteinander verschweißt. An den Lenkkabelenden sind in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte und für sich bekannte Anschlußmittel vorgesehen, die auftretende Zugkräfte nur in die äußere Umhüllung 4 einleiten. Anstelle des einadrigen Kabels kann auch eine mehradrige Ausführungsform gegebenenfalls auch eine Ausführungsform, die zusätzlich einen elektrischen Leiter enthält, treten.In the exemplary embodiment, the optical waveguide 2 of the known embodiment is made of a silicone sheath 8 and surrounded by a plastic jacket 3 and in this or another known embodiment in suitable dimensions can be produced. To achieve sufficient tensile strength for an optical waveguide of this or a similar type, this is longitudinally displaceable in an outer casing 4 stored, which can also be produced as a mesh 3 with currently known means and its threads 6 are largely attached to one another only on the outer surface 5. This attachment is through Applying a binder 7 on the outer surface 5, which the braid 3 only penetrates so far that the longitudinal displacement of the optical waveguide 2 is not hindered. In a In another embodiment, the threads 6 of the sheath 4 are made of thermoplastic material and are welded to one another only on their outer surface 5. At the steering cable ends are in the Drawing not shown and known per se connection means provided, the tensile forces occurring only introduce into the outer casing 4. Instead of the single-core cable, a multi-core embodiment can also be used possibly also an embodiment which additionally contains an electrical conductor occur.
Der mit der Erfindung erreichbare Vorteil ist in der preisgünstigen Fertigungsmöglichkeit eines Lenkkabels für fernlenkbare Flugkörper mit lichttechnischem Signalübertragungsweg zu sehen.The advantage that can be achieved with the invention is the inexpensive possibility of manufacturing a steering cable to see for remotely steerable missiles with optical signal transmission path.
