Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé pour connecter le blindage d'au moins un câble électrique blindé à un conducteur électrique de liaison, ainsi que la connexion obtenue par mise en oeuvre de ce procédé.The present invention relates to a method for connecting the shielding of at least one shielded electrical cable to an electrical connecting conductor, as well as the connection obtained by implementing this method.
Pour la transmission des informations et des commandes, notamment dans des aéronefs tels que des hélicoptères, on doit former des faisceaux de conducteurs électriques, encore appelés "harnais". Dans de tels harnais, environ 25% des conducteurs électriques utilisés sont des câbles blindés, pouvant comporter un, deux ou trois conducteurs. Le blindage de ces câbles est nécessaire pour limiter les interférences, soit par rayonnement des signaux qu'ils véhiculent en risquant de perturber l'environnement, soit à cause de leur sensibilité au rayonnement provenant de l'environnement. Par ailleurs, dans 99% des cas, le blindage de ces câbles doit être relié à la masse générale de l'aéronef. Toutefois, jusqu'à présent, la liaison à la masse de ces câbles blindés doit être effectuée manuellement, ce qui est un obstacle majeur à l'automatisation totale de la fabrication des harnais.For the transmission of information and commands, in particular in aircraft such as helicopters, it is necessary to form bundles of electrical conductors, also called "harnesses". In such harnesses, approximately 25% of the electrical conductors used are shielded cables, which may include one, two or three conductors. The shielding of these cables is necessary to limit interference, either by radiation of the signals they carry, risking disturbing the environment, or because of their sensitivity to radiation from the environment. Furthermore, in 99% of the cases, the shielding of these cables must be connected to the general ground of the aircraft. However, until now, the bonding to the ground of these shielded cables must be carried out manually, which is a major obstacle to the total automation of the manufacture of harnesses.
Plus précisément, dans le procédé actuel pour connecter le blindage d'un câble électrique blindé à un conducteur électrique de liaison, ledit câble électrique blindé comportant, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, une gaine isolante de protection, un blindage et au moins un conducteur électrique, et ledit conducteur électrique de liaison comportant une gaine isolante de protection et un fil conducteur, on réalise les opérations suivantes :
- on dénude la partie à connecter du câble de sa gaine isolante de protection en y laissant à nu le blindage,
- on dénude la partie à connecter correspondante du conducteur de liaison de sa gaine isolante de protection en y laissant à nu le fil conducteur,
- on met en regard lesdites parties à connecter respectives du câble et du conducteur de liaison, et
- on raccorde lesdites parties à connecter à l'aide d'un manchon comportant une bague de brasure sous une gaine thermorétractable.
- the part to be connected of the cable of its insulating protective sheath is stripped, leaving the shielding bare there,
- the corresponding connecting part of the connecting conductor of its protective insulating sheath is stripped, leaving the conductive wire bare there,
- said respective connecting parts of the cable and of the connecting conductor are compared, and
- said parts to be connected are connected using a sleeve comprising a solder ring under a heat-shrinkable sheath.
Cependant, la mise en place de ce manchon exige des mouvements complexes, possibles manuellement mais non automatiquement, ou du moins très difficilement :
- passage du câble à l'intérieur du manchon,
- positionnement et maintien du manchon au niveau de la partie dénudée du câble,
- mise en place du conducteur de liaison,
- brasure et thermorétraction simultanées à l'aide, par exemple, d'un pistolet à rayonnement infrarouge.
- passage of the cable inside the sleeve,
- positioning and holding the sleeve at the stripped part of the cable,
- installation of the connecting conductor,
- simultaneous brazing and heat shrinking using, for example, an infrared radiation gun.
Par ailleurs, il est clair que l'on doit utiliser des manchons différents pour des câbles de diamètres différents.In addition, it is clear that one must use different sleeves for cables of different diameters.
En outre, il est difficile de maîtriser manuellement les paramètres commandant le temps d'exposition aux infrarouges, lequel, pour une brasure correcte, dépend du diamètre du câble, du type de blindage, du type de manchon, entre autres. Cela a pour conséquence :
- si le temps d'exposition est trop important, une destruction de l'isolant du câble,
- s'il est trop faible, une brasure incorrecte du conducteur sur le blindage.
- if the exposure time is too long, destruction of the cable insulation,
- if it is too weak, improper brazing of the conductor on the shield.
De plus, à cause des manchons, relier à la masse une pluralité de câbles blindés exige actuellement de former des pontages, à l'aide de conducteurs de liaison intermédiaires, entre les câbles successifs, agencement dénommé "chaînette" (décrit plus en détail par la suite), qui empêche également l'automatisation totale de la fabrication des harnais.In addition, because of the sleeves, grounding a plurality of shielded cables currently requires forming bridges, using connecting conductors intermediaries, between the successive cables, arrangement called "chain" (described in more detail below), which also prevents total automation of the manufacture of harnesses.
La présente invention a pour but d'éviter ces inconvénients, et concerne un procédé perfectionné pour connecter le blindage d'au moins un câble électrique blindé à un conducteur électrique de liaison, pouvant être mis en oeuvre de façon totalement automatisée.The present invention aims to avoid these drawbacks, and relates to an improved method for connecting the shielding of at least one shielded electrical cable to an electrical connecting conductor, which can be implemented in a fully automated manner.
A cet effet, le procédé pour connecter le blindage d'au moins un câble électrique blindé à un conducteur électrique de liaison, ledit câble électrique blindé comportant, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, une gaine isolante de protection, un blindage et au moins un conducteur électrique, et ledit conducteur électrique de liaison comportant une gaine isolante de protection et un fil conducteur, procédé dans lequel :
- on dénude la partie à connecter du câble de sa gaine isolante de protection en y laissant à nu le blindage,
- on dénude la partie à connecter correspondante du conducteur de liaison de sa gaine isolante de protection en y laissant à nu le fil conducteur,
- on met en regard lesdites parties à connecter respectives du câble et du conducteur de liaison, et
- on raccorde lesdites parties à connecter par thermorétraction d'un fourreau de matière isolante thermorétractable entourant lesdites parties,
est remarquable, selon l'invention, en ce que : - avant mise en regard desdites parties à connecter respectives du câble et du conducteur de liaison, on enduit d'un adhésif électriquement conducteur au moins l'une desdites parties à connecter, et
- après mise en regard desdites parties à connecter respectives du câble et du conducteur de liaison, pour former ledit fourreau de raccordement, on enroule un ruban de matière isolante thermorétractable autour desdites parties à connecter.
- the part to be connected of the cable of its insulating protective sheath is stripped, leaving the shielding bare there,
- the corresponding connecting part of the connecting conductor of its protective insulating sheath is stripped, leaving the conductive wire bare there,
- said respective connecting parts of the cable and of the connecting conductor are compared, and
- said parts to be connected are connected by heat-shrinking a sheath of heat-shrinkable insulating material surrounding said parts,
is remarkable, according to the invention, in that: - before facing said respective connecting parts of the cable and the connecting conductor, at least one of said connecting parts is coated with an electrically conductive adhesive, and
- after comparing said respective connecting parts of the cable and the connecting conductor, to forming said connection sheath, a ribbon of heat-shrinkable insulating material is wound around said parts to be connected.
Ainsi, la simplicité des opérations impliquées dans le procédé conforme à l'invention et, en particulier, le remplacement du manchon, utilisé jusqu'à présent, par une couche d'adhésif électriquement conducteur et un ruban de matière isolante thermorétractable, permettent l'automatisation de ce procédé, en pouvant, de ce fait, l'intégrer, sans problème, dans la fabrication automatisée de harnais, notamment.Thus, the simplicity of the operations involved in the process according to the invention and, in particular, the replacement of the sleeve, used until now, with a layer of electrically conductive adhesive and a strip of heat-shrinkable insulating material, allow the automation of this process, being able, therefore, to integrate it, without problem, in the automated manufacture of harnesses, in particular.
Par ailleurs, dans le cas où plusieurs câbles blindés doivent être reliés électriquement à un conducteur de liaison, le procédé selon l'invention est remarquable en ce que chacune des parties dénudées à connecter desdits câbles est mise en regard de la partie dénudée à connecter correspondante dudit conducteur de liaison, chacune desdites parties à connecter desdits câbles et/ou la partie à connecter correspondante dudit conducteur de liaison sont enduites dudit adhésif électriquement conducteur, et, sur l'ensemble des parties à connecter desdits câbles et de la partie à connecter correspondante dudit conducteur de liaison, est enroulé ledit ruban de matière isolante thermorétractable.Furthermore, in the case where several shielded cables must be electrically connected to a connecting conductor, the method according to the invention is remarkable in that each of the stripped parts to be connected of said cables is placed opposite the corresponding stripped part to be connected. of said connecting conductor, each of said connecting parts of said cables and / or the corresponding connecting part of said connecting conductor are coated with said electrically conductive adhesive, and, on all of the connecting parts of said cables and of the corresponding connecting part of said connecting conductor, said ribbon of heat-shrinkable insulating material is wound.
Il apparaît donc de plus que, pour relier électriquement plusieurs câbles blindés à un conducteur de liaison, il n'est plus nécessaire de recourir à l'agencement en "chaînette" précédemment indiqué, ce qui permet, aussi dans ce cas, l'automatisation du procédé conforme à l'invention.It therefore appears moreover that, in order to electrically connect several screened cables to a connecting conductor, it is no longer necessary to have recourse to the “chain” arrangement previously indicated, which also allows automation of the process according to the invention.
Avantageusement, au moins un câble blindé supplémentaire peut être relié électriquement audit conducteur de liaison par l'intermédiaire de la couche d'adhésif électriquement conducteur reliant déjà au moins un câble blindé audit conducteur de liaison.Advantageously, at least one additional screened cable can be electrically connected to said conductor of connection via the layer of electrically conductive adhesive already connecting at least one screened cable to said connection conductor.
De préférence, en tant que partie à connecter dudit conducteur de liaison, on dénude une extrémité de celui-ci.Preferably, as part to be connected of said connecting conductor, one end of it is stripped.
Il est de plus avantageux d'enduire la partie dénudée du blindage de chaque câble blindé dudit adhésif électriquement conducteur.It is more advantageous to coat the stripped portion of the shield of each shielded cable with said electrically conductive adhesive.
Par ailleurs, en tant qu'adhésif, on peut utiliser une colle chargée d'un métal, ladite colle pouvant être, en particulier, une pâte thixotrope époxy à charge d'argent.Furthermore, as an adhesive, it is possible to use an adhesive loaded with a metal, said adhesive possibly being, in particular, an epoxy thixotropic paste loaded with silver.

La figure 7 est une section selon la ligne VII-VII de la figure 6.Figure 7 is a section along line VII-VII of Figure 6.
La figure 8 est une vue analogue à la figure 7 illustrant un développement du procédé conforme à l'invention.Figure 8 is a view similar to Figure 7 illustrating a development of the method according to the invention.
Les figures 1 et 2 illustrent le procédé connu de connexion du blindage d'un câble électrique blindé à un conducteur électrique de liaison.Figures 1 and 2 illustrate the known method of connecting the shielding of a shielded electrical cable to an electrical connecting conductor.
Le câble électrique blindé 1 représenté comporte, de l'extérieur vers l'intérieur, une gaine isolante de protection 2, un blindage 3 et, dans cet exemple, trois conducteurs électriques 4 présentant chacun une gaine isolante de protection 5 et un fil conducteur 6. Le blindage 3 du câble blindé 1 doit être relié à la masse (ou éventuellement à un connecteur non représenté) par l'intermédiaire d'un conducteur électrique de liaison 7 comportant de même une gaine isolante de protection 8 et un fil conducteur 9.The shielded
Pour réaliser une telle connexion, de façon usuelle, on procède comme suit :
- on dénude la partie à connecter 10 du câble 1 de sa gaine isolante de
protection 2 en y laissant à nu le blindage 3, - on dénude la partie à connecter correspondante du conducteur de liaison 7 (par exemple l'extrémité 11 de celui-ci) de sa gaine isolante de
protection 8 en y laissant à nu le fil conducteur 9, - on met en regard lesdites parties à connecter respectives 10,11 du câble 1 et du conducteur de
liaison 7, et on met en place, sur celles-ci,un manchon 12 comportant une bague de brasure 13 (par exemple d'étain-plomb) enveloppée par une gaine thermorétractable 14 munie, à ses deux extrémités, de bagues d'étanchéité 15 (figure 1), et - en même temps que l'on effectue la brasure (par exemple à l'aide d'un pistolet à rayonnement infrarouge comme déjà indiqué), la gaine thermorétractable 14 se rétracte, ce qui assure le raccordement du blindage 3 du câble blindé 1 (dans sa partie dénudée 10) et de l'extrémité dénudée 11 du conducteur de liaison 7 (figure 2).
- the part to be connected 10 of the
cable 1 of its protectiveinsulating sheath 2 is stripped, leaving theshield 3 there bare, - the corresponding connecting part of the connecting conductor 7 (for example the
end 11 thereof) is stripped of its insulatingprotective sheath 8, leaving theconductive wire 9 there bare, - said respective connecting
10, 11 of theparts cable 1 and of the connectingconductor 7 are compared, and asleeve 12 is put in place on these, comprising a solder ring 13 (for example tin-lead ) enveloped by a heat-shrinkable sheath 14 provided, at its two ends, with sealing rings 15 (FIG. 1), and - at the same time as the soldering is carried out (for example using an infrared radiation gun as already indicated), the heat-
shrinkable sheath 14 retracts, which ensures the connection of theshield 3 of the shielded cable 1 (in its stripped part 10) and of the strippedend 11 of the connecting conductor 7 (FIG. 2).
Comme déjà indiqué, l'ensemble de ces opérations sont effectuées manuellement par un opérateur, et il est impossible d'automatiser ce procédé connu du fait de l'utilisation du manchon 12, pour les raisons déjà évoquées.As already indicated, all of these operations are performed manually by an operator, and it is impossible to automate this known process due to the use of the
Par ailleurs, comme on le voit sur la figure 3, la connexion d'une pluralité de câbles blindés 1 à la masse (ou éventuellement à un connecteur) en utilisant les manchons 12 n'est possible que par un agencement tel que montré, ou " chaînette ", ce qui exclut également toute possibilité d'automatisation.Furthermore, as seen in FIG. 3, the connection of a plurality of shielded
Les figures 4 et 5 illustrent le procédé conforme à l'invention.Figures 4 and 5 illustrate the process according to the invention.
Comme précédemment :
- on dénude la partie à connecter 10 du câble 1 de sa gaine isolante de
protection 2 en y laissant à nu le blindage 3, - on dénude la partie à connecter correspondante du conducteur de liaison 7 (
comme l'extrémité 11 de celui-ci) de sa gaine isolante deprotection 8 en y laissant à nu le fil conducteur 9, et - on met en regard lesdites parties à connecter respectives 10,11 du câble 1 et du conducteur de
liaison 7.
- the part to be connected 10 of the
cable 1 of its protectiveinsulating sheath 2 is stripped, leaving theshield 3 there bare, - the corresponding connecting part of the connecting conductor 7 (like the
end 11 of the latter) is stripped of its insulatingprotective sheath 8, leaving theconductive wire 9 bare there, and - the respective parts to be connected 10, 11 of the
cable 1 and of the connectingconductor 7 are compared.
Toutefois, conformément au procédé selon l'invention, avant mise en regard desdites parties à connecter respectives 10,11 du câble 1 et du conducteur de liaison 7, on enduit d'une couche 16 d'un adhésif électriquement conducteur au moins l'une des parties à connecter 10,11, en l'occurrence la partie dénudée 10 du blindage 3 du câble 1 (figure 4).However, in accordance with the method according to the invention, before placing said respective connecting
Ensuite, après mise en regard desdites parties à connecter respectives 10,11 du câble 1 et du conducteur de liaison 7, on enroule un ruban de matière isolante thermorétractable 17 autour des parties 10,11 à connecter (figure 5), et on procède à la thermorétraction dudit ruban, par exemple à l'aide d'un pistolet à rayonnement infrarouge.Then, after placing said respective parts to be connected 10, 11 of the
L'ensemble de ces opérations simples peuvent être facilement automatisées, en utilisant toute(s) machine(s) appropriée(s) [non représentée(s)], notamment intégrée(s) dans le processus de fabrication de faisceaux de câbles électriques.All of these simple operations can be easily automated, using any suitable machine (s) (not shown), in particular integrated (s) in the manufacturing process for electrical cable bundles.
Cela est également le cas lorsque plusieurs câbles blindés doivent être reliés électriquement à un conducteur de liaison (figures 6-8).This is also the case when several shielded cables must be electrically connected to a connecting conductor (Figures 6-8).
Dans ce cas, chacune des parties dénudées à connecter 10 desdits câbles 1 est mise en regard de l'extrémité dénudée à connecter correspondante 11 du conducteur de liaison 7. Le nombre de câbles 1 pouvant être connectés à un conducteur de liaison unique 7 dépend bien sûr du diamètre des câbles (et donc de leur encombrement). Comme montré sur la figure 7, il peut être, par exemple, de six, les câbles 1 étant équiangulairement répartis autour du conducteur de liaison 7. Ensuite, chacune desdites parties à connecter 10 des câbles 1 et/ou l'extrémité à connecter 11 correspondante du conducteur de liaison 7 sont enduites d'une couche 16 d'adhésif électriquement conducteur (ce peut être notamment chaque partie à connecter 10 des câbles 1), et, sur l'ensemble des parties à connecter 10 des câbles 1 et de l'extrémité à connecter 11 du conducteur de liaison 7, est enroulé un ruban 17 de matière isolante thermorétractable, lequel est alors thermorétracté comme précédemment, par exemple à l'aide d'un pistolet à rayonnement infrarouge.In this case, each of the stripped parts to be connected 10 of said
L'ensemble de ces opérations peuvent être aussi totalement automatisées, et on évite d'utiliser, dans ce cas, l'agencement antérieur en "chaînette", avec les inconvénients qui lui sont liés.All of these operations can also be fully automated, and in this case, the prior arrangement in a "chain" is avoided, with the drawbacks which are linked to it.
On notera, par ailleurs, qu'au moins un câble blindé 1 supplémentaire peut être relié électriquement au conducteur de liaison 7, comme l'illustre la figure 8, par l'intermédiaire des bavures 16A de la couche d'adhésif électriquement conducteur 16 reliant les autres câbles blindés 1 au conducteur de liaison 7.Note, moreover, that at least one additional shielded
