Definitions
- the invention relates to expansion joints for waveguides and in particular waveguides for. television stations.
- the waveguides When the waveguides are very long and are arranged in an environment where the temperature differences are large, such as natural variations in temperature, expansion stresses occur on these waveguides. This is particularly the case for television transmitting stations, where the waveguides are made of aluminum and are placed along a steel structure, a pylon for example, and where it is common to encounter temperature differences of 50 ° C. For a length of one hundred meters, the differential expansion between the waveguides and the steel structure is then sixty millimeters.
- a known solution consists in giving, at the foot of the pylon, a very large radius of curvature to the waveguide in order to connect it to the transmitting station; the expansions then effect the radius of curvature sand causing excessive deformations of the waveguide; in such a solution the waveguide, from the foot of the pylon to its top, must be fixed in a non-rigid manner to the steel structure of the pylon so that the expansion can play freely.
- waveguides which make it possible to accept differences in expansion, especially in the case where the section of the waveguides is reduced: these are flexible waveguides. They have a relatively high attenuation and they are difficult to achieve when the waveguides have a large cross section, as is notably the case of the waveguides for television transmitting stations.
- US Patent 3822412 describes an expansion joint for a waveguide comprising in alignment a first and a second element of the same internal dimensions as the waveguide and free to move longitudinally relative to each other, the first element being constituted by a tube, said elements being separated longitudinally by a distance which varies when the waveguide expands or contracts.
- US Patent 2,434,509 describes a junction for coaxial cable comprising a trap disposed between two aligned tubular elements fixed to each other, and of electrical length equal to half the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation to be transmitted, this trap being folded up and formed by two branches arranged between coaxial rings, each of the branches being of length close to a quarter of the wavelength.
- the present invention aims to provide an expansion joint that allows to ensure the electrical continuity of the wave across the expansion guide beach, and thus ensures a low standing wave ratio regardless of the temperature which is worn the expansion joint.
- the expansion joint according to the invention is characterized in that the second element comprises a trap established at least partially between said elements and outside the first element, the trap having an electrical length equal to half the length d wave corresponding to the central frequency transmitted by the waveguide and being re-aligned so as to obtain two lines having substantially the same electrical length, a first line consisting of a space between the first element and a first branch of the second element , a second line consisting of a space between said first branch and a second branch, one end of which is folded back and comes opposite said external face of the first element, and covers one end of said first branch, the second line having a width greater than that of the first line, therefore a greater impedance.
- the expansion joint comprises a first element 1 and a second element 2 of rectangular waveguide, each element having at one end a flange 3 and 4 respectively, for fixing these elements to the rectangular waveguide.
- Elements 1 and 2 are not integral with one another, and can move longitudinally relative to one another along their axis.
- the first element 1 is a rectangular cross-section tube; the second element 2 carries a trap folded over on each of its long sides; each trap consists of two branches, a first branch 5 facing the outside face of the first element 1, and a second branch 6, above the first branch, which has a folded end 7 which comes opposite the outer face of the first element, and covers the end of the first branch.
- a first line 8 is thus obtained between the first element 1 and the first branch 5, and a second line 9 between the branches 5 and 6.
- the first line has an average electrical length CD and the second line has an average electrical length AB.
- the trap is folded to reduce its size, its average electrical length corresponds to the path ABCD E.
- the electrical lengths AB and CD are close to a quarter of the wavelength, the electrical lengths triques BC and DE being small compared to the half-wavelength, so that the short-circuit which is materialized in A is reported in E.
- the half-length d wave is equal to 25 centimeters, and the sum of the electrical lengths BC and DE is of the order of 2.5 to 3 centimeters.
- elements 1 and 2 move relative to each other; the electric length of the line CD is then only modified, causing a variation in the impedance brought back to point E.
- these can be filled with a dielectric material such as, for example, polyethylene.
- the path CDE In order not to introduce a standing wave ratio, with the trap, the path CDE must be equivalent to the path ABC and equal to a quarter of wavelength; well extended if some parts of these paths are in polyethylene or in the air, it should be taken into account.
- a variation of 50 millimeters can be obtained between the first and second elements 1 and 2 of the expansion joint. without affecting the standing wave ratio.
- band IV of television the standing wave ratio of an expansion joint is less than 1.02 in a 60 MHz band.
- the expansion joint is sealed by means of a flexible rubber piece 10 fixed on the one hand to the flange 3 of the first element and on the other hand to the folded end 7 of the second element, all around the expansion joint. ; a metal cover 11, surrounding the first element, and consisting of two parts 12 and 13 which can move relative to each other when the elements of the expansion joint move, provides both mechanical protection of the part rubber and keeps it in place.
- waveguides such as those used in a television broadcasting station are filled with dry air under pressure, the normal pressure being of the order of 30 g / cm2; under the effect of this pressure the rubber part moves away from the expansion joint, and in the absence of the metal cover it should withstand this pressure.
- a column of 200 meters of waveguides successively comprises, from the top: at the level 200 meters an expansion joint, at the level 130 meters a weight support and below an expansion joint, at level 60 meters a new weight support and a third expansion joint, at the bottom of the pylon a third weight support.
- the vertical forces introduced by the weight supports are taken from the triangulation nodes of the pylon provided for this purpose.
- the waveguide column is divided into three sections, each weight support having to support the weight of a third of the column, or approximately 2.5 tonnes for a rectangular guide of dimensions 43 x 21.5 centimeters in aluminum.
- expansion joints eliminates the need to have a large radius of curvature of the waveguide at the foot of the pylon, to connect the pylon to the transmitting station itself.
- this station being distant of several tens of meters from the pylon, the waveguide which connects it to the pylon may also include one or more expansion joints.
- the invention is not limited to expansion joints for rectangular waveguides, whatever their dimensions, and is generally applicable to any type of waveguide and in particular to circular waveguides. , and in the latter case the trap is obviously circular.
