Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des câbles électriques, et en particulier les câbles électriques à âme conductrice souple. L'invention concerne également les transformateurs haute tension qui sont équipés de câbles électriques haute tension pour par exemple alimenter électriquement des composants électriques à l'intérieur d'un appareil électronique, tel qu'un téléviseur.The present invention relates to the field of cables electrical cables, and in particular electrical cables with conductive core flexible. The invention also relates to high transformers voltage which are fitted with high voltage electrical cables for par example electrically supply electrical components to inside an electronic device, such as a TV.

Dans le domaine des transformateurs haute tension, la connexion électrique entre les sorties hautes tension du transformateur et les câbles électriques haute tension de sortie était pendant longtemps un problème technique délicat à résoudre.In the field of high voltage transformers, the electrical connection between the high voltage outputs of the transformer and the high voltage output electrical cables was for a long time a delicate technical problem to solve.

On connaít récemment par le brevet européen n° 0 236 642 une solution simple et satisfaisante à ce problème. Il s'agit d'introduire dans le boítier isolant du transformateur des pastilles souples en silicone chargé de poudre conductrice qui constituent une interface de connexion électrique entre les sorties haute tension des enroulements du transformateur et les câbles haute tension de sortie. Il suffit d'enfoncer les extrémités des conducteurs dans les pastilles en silicone chargé de poudre conductrice pour assurer la connexion électrique entre ces conducteurs.We know recently from the European patent n ° 0 236 642 a simple and satisfactory solution to this problem. This is to introduce in the insulator box of the transformer, flexible silicone pads loaded with conductive powder which constitute a connection interface between the high voltage outputs of the windings of the transformer and high voltage output cables. Just press the ends of the conductors in the silicone pellets charged with conductive powder to ensure the electrical connection between these conductors.

Cette solution ne peut être mise en oeuvre de manière fiable que si les conducteurs qui sont enfoncés dans les pastilles conductrices sont suffisamment rigides pour être assemblés de façon amovible (et répétitive en cas de besoin) dans les pastilles conductrices de connexion. Les câbles utilisés selon ce brevet antérieur sont à âme rigide. This solution cannot be reliably implemented only if the conductors which are embedded in the conductive pads are rigid enough to be removably assembled (and repetitive if necessary) in the conductive pads of connection. The cables used according to this earlier patent have a core rigid.

Cependant, il peut être souhaitable voire avantageux dans certaines circonstances d'utiliser des câbles à âme souple au lieu des câbles à âme rigide. C'est par exemple le cas lorsque le transformateur haute tension est utilisé dans un emplacement réduit (à l'intérieur d'un poste de télévision par exemple), car les câbles souples sont plus maniables que les câbles rigides. De plus, étant donnée la haute tension (pouvant aller jusqu'à 50 Kvolts), les normes de sécurité exigent que le boítier isolant du transformateur comporte des cheminées de sécurité qui séparent, d'une part les points de connexion (pastilles conductrices par exemple) entre les sorties haute tension des enroulements du transformateur et les extrémités des câbles haute tension de sortie, et d'autre part le milieu environnant, d'une certaine distance se traduisant par la hauteur des cheminées. Les câbles haute tension sortant de ces cheminées augmentent plus ou moins l'encombrement du transformateur dans le prolongement des cheminées selon la souplesse des câbles. Plus les câbles sont souples, plus on peut réduire l'encombrement supplémentaire du transformateur haute tension causé par les câbles de sortie.However, it may be desirable or even advantageous in certain circumstances of using flexible core cables instead of rigid core cables. This is for example the case when the transformer high voltage is used in a reduced location (inside a television set for example), because flexible cables are more easier to handle than rigid cables. In addition, given the high voltage (up to 50 Kvolts), safety standards require that the transformer insulator box has safety chimneys which separate, on the one hand the connection points (conductive pads by example) between the high voltage outputs of the windings of the transformer and the ends of the high-voltage output cables, and on the other hand the surrounding environment, from a certain distance translating by the height of the chimneys. The high voltage cables coming out of these chimneys more or less increase the size of the transformer in the extension of the chimneys according to the flexibility of the cables. More the cables are flexible, the more the space can be reduced additional high voltage transformer caused by the cables of exit.

Il peut être envisagé d'associer à l'âme souple d'un câble dénudé une cosse électrique sertie sur la gaine du câble, afin de permettre l'utilisation du câble souple dans les transformateurs haute tension munis de pastilles conductrices de connexion. Mais la cosse électrique crée un encombrement radial au câble qui peut être genant dans certaines techniques, notamment celle du clipsage de câble selon le brevet européen n° 0 236 642.It can be envisaged to associate with the flexible core of a cable stripped an electrical terminal crimped on the sheath of the cable, in order to allow the use of flexible cable in high transformers voltage fitted with conductive connection pads. But the pod electric creates a radial space in the cable which can be annoying in certain techniques, in particular that of cable clipping according to the European Patent No. 0 236 642.

La présente invention a pour objet de proposer une solution simple et efficace permettant de rigidifier l'âme conductrice souple des câbles électriques pour être utilisée notamment dans des transformateurs haute tension munis de pastilles conductrices de connexion.The object of the present invention is to propose a solution simple and effective to stiffen the flexible conductive core of electric cables to be used in particular in high voltage transformers fitted with conductive pads of connection.

L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de fabrication d'un connecteur rigide pour câble électrique à âme conductrice souple. The invention also relates to a manufacturing process a rigid connector for electric cable with flexible conductive core.

L'invention a en outre pour objet un câble électrique à âme souple dont au moins une extrémité est rigidifiée d'une façon particulière.The invention further relates to an electric cable with a core flexible with at least one end rigidified in a way particular.

L'invention a encore pour objet un transformateur haute tension équipé de câbles électriques souples dont une extrémité de l'âme est rigidifiée de façon à permettre son enfoncement aisé dans les pastilles conductrices de connexion du transformateur.The invention also relates to a high transformer tension fitted with flexible electrical cables, one end of the core is stiffened so as to allow its easy insertion into the conductive transformer connection pads.

Le procédé de fabrication d'un connecteur associé à un câble électrique à âme conductrice souple, selon l'invention, consiste à dénuder une extrémité du câble en enlevant la gaine plastique de protection autour de l'âme conductrice souple, à fixer à l'extrémité dénudée du câble en butée axiale contre la gaine, un disque métallique qui a un diamètre inférieur ou égal au diamètre de la gaine et qui est muni d'un trou central traversé par l'âme conductrice souple, et à rigidifier l'âme conductrice souple par une soudure conductrice qui rend également l'âme solidaire du disque métallique.The method of manufacturing a connector associated with a cable electric with flexible conductive core, according to the invention, consists of strip one end of the cable by removing the plastic sheath protection around the flexible conductive core, to be fixed at the end stripped of the cable in axial abutment against the sheath, a metal disc which has a diameter less than or equal to the diameter of the sheath and which is provided with a central hole through which the flexible conductive core passes, and stiffen the flexible conductive core by a conductive weld which makes also the soul attached to the metal disc.

Selon l'invention, on fournit un câble électrique à âme conductrice souple entourée par une gaine isolante en matière plastique. Le câble comporte une extrémité dénudée par enlèvement de la gaine autour de l'âme, un disque métallique de diamètre inférieur ou égal au diamètre de la gaine et qui est pourvu d'un trou central traversée par l'âme du câble, le disque étant en butée axiale contre la gaine. Un dépôt de soudure conductrice sur l'âme dénudée rigidifie l'âme tout en la rendant solidaire mécaniquement du disque métallique.According to the invention, an electrical cable with a core is provided flexible conductor surrounded by an insulating plastic sheath. The cable has a stripped end by removing the sheath around the core, a metal disc with a diameter less than or equal to diameter of the sheath and which is provided with a central hole through which the cable core, the disc being in axial abutment against the sheath. A deposit of conductive solder on the stripped core stiffens the core while mechanically joining the metal disc.

De préférence, le disque comporte des picots sur la surface orientée vers la gaine et qui s'enfoncent dans la gaine pour assurer le maintien au moins provisoire du disque sur le câble. Les picots peuvent être obtenus par estampage du disque et peuvent être régulièrement répartis sur un cercle concentrique au trou central du disque. Avantageusement, le trou central est délimité par un col tronconique qui assure le centrage du disque autour de l'âme et renforce la cohésion mécanique de l'ensemble une fois recouvert de soudure. Preferably, the disc has pins on the surface oriented towards the sheath and which sink into the sheath to ensure the at least temporary maintenance of the disc on the cable. The pins can be obtained by stamping the disc and can be regularly distributed on a circle concentric with the central hole of the disc. Advantageously, the central hole is delimited by a frustoconical neck which ensures the centering of the disc around the core and strengthens the cohesion mechanical assembly once covered with solder.

Selon l'invention, on obtient un transformateur haute tension comportant un bobinage enfermé dans un boítier isolant, des pastilles souples conductrices dans lesquelles sont enfoncés les conducteurs de sortie du bobinage, et des câbles souple haute tension dont les extrémités dénudées sont rigidifiées comme indiqué ci-dessus pour être enfoncées aisément dans les pastilles conductrices.According to the invention, a high voltage transformer is obtained comprising a winding enclosed in an insulating housing, pellets flexible conductive in which the conductors of output of the winding, and flexible high voltage cables whose stripped ends are stiffened as shown above to be easily inserted into the conductive pads.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres avantages de l'invention apparaítront à l'étude de la description détaillée d'un exemple de réalisation particulier non limitatif et illustré sur des dessins annexés :

  • la figure 1 est une vue schématique d'un transformateur haute tension du type comportant des pastilles conductrices de connexion selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2a est une vue éclatée d'une extrémité d'un câble électrique à âme souple et d'un disque métallique selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2b est une vue de côté du câble selon la figure 2a à l'état assemblé.
  • The invention will be better understood and other advantages of the invention will appear on studying the detailed description of a particular non-limiting exemplary embodiment and illustrated in the accompanying drawings:
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a high voltage transformer of the type comprising conductive connection pads according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2a is an exploded view of one end of an electric cable with flexible core and of a metal disc according to the invention,
  • Figure 2b is a side view of the cable according to Figure 2a in the assembled state.
  • La figure 1 montre un transformateur haute tension du type décrit dans le brevet européen n° 0 236 642 avec des câbles haute tension à âme souple. Le transformateur 1 peut être utilisé pour alimenter le tube cathodique d'un téléviseur et comporte un circuit magnétique 2, un bobinage 3 à plusieurs enroulements, et des broches 4 de connexion électrique entre le bobinage 3 et un autre composant électrique non représenté. Le bobinage 3 comporte deux sorties haute tension dont l'une alimente, via un bloc potentiométrique non représenté les grilles du tube cathodique non représenté, et dont l'autre alimente l'anode du tube cathodique. Des câbles souples haute tension 5 et 6 assurent l'alimentation en hautes tensions issues des deux sorties du bobinage 3.Figure 1 shows a high voltage transformer of the type described in European Patent No. 0 236 642 with high cables tension with flexible core. Transformer 1 can be used for power the cathode ray tube of a television and has a circuit magnetic 2, a winding 3 with several windings, and pins 4 of electrical connection between the winding 3 and another component electric not shown. Winding 3 has two high outputs voltage, one of which supplies, via a potentiometric block not shown the grids of the cathode ray tube not shown, and the other of which feeds the anode of the cathode ray tube. High voltage flexible cables 5 and 6 supply high voltages from the two outputs of the winding 3.

    Le bobinage 3 comporte une enveloppe protectrice en résine qui comporte deux cheminées 7, 8 de sécurité destinées à recevoir les extrémités dénudées rigidifiées 5a et 6a des câbles 5 et 6 respectivement (la rigidification des extrémités dénudées est décrite ci-après). La hauteur des cheminées 7, 8 est déterminée en fonction de la haute tension de sortie correspondante. Chaque cheminée 7, 8 comporte intérieurement à son embase une pastille souple 9 en silicone chargé de poudre conductrice permettant la connexion électrique entre une sortie haute tension 10 du bobinage 3 et l'extrémité rigidifiée 5a du câble 5 correspondant. La connexion électrique entre la sortie 10 et l'extrémité dénudée 5a du câble 5 se fait par enfoncement de l'extrémité 5a et du conducteur de sortie 10 dans la pastille conductrice 9.Winding 3 has a protective resin casing which has two safety chimneys 7, 8 intended to receive the stiffened stripped ends 5a and 6a of cables 5 and 6 respectively (the stiffening of the stripped ends is described below). The height of the chimneys 7, 8 is determined according to the corresponding high output voltage. Each chimney 7, 8 has internally at its base, a flexible silicone pad 9 charged with conductive powder allowing the electrical connection between an outlet high voltage 10 of the winding 3 and the stiffened end 5a of the cable 5 corresponding. The electrical connection between outlet 10 and the end stripped 5a of the cable 5 is made by driving the end 5a and the output conductor 10 in the conductive pad 9.

    Avantageusement, dans la face inférieure de la pastille conductrice 9 est enfoncée également l'extrémité d'un conducteur 11 issue d'une résistance de charge 12 dite "bleeder". Il en est de même pour la pastille conductrice non représentée liée à la cheminée 8.Advantageously, in the underside of the patch conductor 9 is also inserted the end of a conductor 11 from a load resistor 12 called "bleeder". It is the same for the conductive patch not shown linked to the chimney 8.

    Afin d'assurer le maintien mécanique des câbles haute tension 5, 6 dans les cheminées 7, 8 contre les mouvements d'arrachements, et par voie de conséquence assurer la qualité de connexion électrique, on associe à chaque câble 5, 6 un clip 13, 14 qui coopère avec les extrémités 15, 16 des cheminées 7, 8 par enclipsage.To ensure the mechanical maintenance of high voltage cables 5, 6 in chimneys 7, 8 against tearing movements, and Consequently ensuring the quality of the electrical connection, we associates with each cable 5, 6 a clip 13, 14 which cooperates with the ends 15, 16 of chimneys 7, 8 by clipping.

    On se réfère maintenant aux figures 2a et 2b pour expliquer plus en détail la réalisation des extrémités rigidifiées 5a, 6a des câbles souple haute tension 5, 6.We now refer to Figures 2a and 2b to explain in more detail the making of the stiffened ends 5a, 6a of the cables flexible high voltage 5, 6.

    Le câble souple 20 comporte une âme conductrice souple 21 toronnée multibrins et une gaine isolante 22 en matière plastique souple entourant coaxialement l'âme conductrice souple 21. Une extrémité du câble 20 est dénudée par enlèvement de gaine 22 autour de l'âme conductrice souple 21. Un disque métallique 23 plat de faible épaisseur présente un diamètre inférieur ou égal au diamètre de la gaine 22 et un trou central 24 délimité par un col tronconique 25, ainsi que plusieurs picots 26 obtenus par estampage du disque 23. Les picots 26 sont de préférence répartis régulièrement sur un trajet circulaire concentrique au trou central 24 et dirigés perpendiculairement au plan du disque dans une direction à l'opposé du col tronconique 25.The flexible cable 20 includes a flexible conductive core 21 stranded stranded wire and an insulating sheath 22 of flexible plastic material coaxially surrounding the flexible conductive core 21. One end of the cable 20 is stripped by removing sheath 22 around the core flexible conductive 21. A flat metal disc 23 of small thickness has a diameter less than or equal to the diameter of the sheath 22 and a central hole 24 delimited by a frustoconical neck 25, as well as several pins 26 obtained by stamping the disc 23. The pins 26 are of preferably evenly distributed over a concentric circular path at central hole 24 and directed perpendicular to the plane of the disc in a direction opposite the frustoconical neck 25.

    On enfile axialement l'âme conductrice souple 21 du câble 20 dans le trou central 24. Le disque 23 avec ses picots 26 dirigés axialement se rapproche de la gaine 22 du câble 20. Les picots 26 s'enfoncent ensuite axialement dans la gaine 22 jusqu'à ce que le disque 23 soit en butée axiale contre la gaine 22 (la distance séparant la gaine 22 et le disque 23 sur la figure 2b est artificiellement dessinée pour mieux distinguer ces deux éléments). L'enfoncement des picots dans la gaine 22 permet une bonne fixation du disque 23 sur le câble 20, le col tronconique 25 permettant de centrer le disque 23 autour de l'âme conductrice souple 21.The flexible conductive core 21 of the cable 20 is threaded axially in the central hole 24. The disc 23 with its pins 26 directed axially approaches the sheath 22 of the cable 20. The pins 26 then sink axially into the sheath 22 until the disc 23 either in axial abutment against the sheath 22 (the distance separating the sheath 22 and the disc 23 in FIG. 2b is artificially drawn to better distinguish these two elements). The insertion of the pins in the sheath 22 allows good fixing of the disc 23 on the cable 20, the neck frustoconical 25 allowing the disc 23 to be centered around the core flexible conductor 21.

    On dépose ensuite une soudure conductrice, par exemple au moyen d'un brasage à l'aide d'un alliage étain-plomb sur l'âme conductrice souple 21. La soudure à l'état liquide chaud s'infiltre par capillarité dans les espaces disponibles du toron multibrins constituant l'âme conductrice souple et recouvre le col tronconique 25, si bien qu'au refroidissement de la soudure, d'une part on obtient une extrémité conductrice 27 rigidifiée du câble 20 issue de l'âme conductrice souple 21 et d'autre part un soudage rendant solidaire le disque métallique 23 et l'extrémité conductrice 27. Le connecteur ainsi obtenu sous forme d'un T est très résistant au flambement, ce qui améliore les caractéristiques mécaniques à l'enfoncement amovible du câble 20 dans la pastille conductrice 9.A conductive solder is then deposited, for example at using solder-lead alloy on the core flexible conductive 21. Welding in the hot liquid state seeps through capillarity in the available spaces of the multi-stranded strand constituting the flexible conductive core and covers the frustoconical neck 25, so that at cooling of the weld, on the one hand, one end is obtained conductive 27 rigidified cable 20 from the flexible conductive core 21 and on the other hand a welding making the metal disc 23 integral and the conductive end 27. The connector thus obtained in the form of a T is very resistant to buckling, which improves the mechanical characteristics of the removable insertion of the cable 20 into the conductive pad 9.

    Le choix du diamètre du disque 23 inférieur ou égal au diamètre de la gaine 22 du câble 20 permet l'utilisation du système de clipsage 13 à 16 tel que montré à la figure 1.The choice of the diameter of the disc 23 less than or equal to diameter of the sheath 22 of the cable 20 allows the use of the clipping 13 to 16 as shown in Figure 1.

    Le dispositif de l'invention permet, d'une manière simple, de rendre les câbles électriques souples utilisables dans des circonstances où a priori ils ne s'y prêtent pas, en particulier pour les cas où la souplesse de l'âme conductrice est handicapante pour assurer la connexion électrique.The device of the invention makes it possible, in a simple manner, to make flexible electrical cables usable in circumstances where a priori they do not lend themselves to it, in particular for cases where the flexibility of the conductive core is disabling to ensure the electrical connection.

    Claims (10)

    1. Method of manufacturing a connector associated with an electrical cable (20) with a flexible conducting core (21), characterized in that it consists:
      in stripping one end of the cable, by removing the plastic protective sheath (22) around the flexible conducting core (21);
      in fastening, to the stripped end of the cable, a metal disc (23) so as to butt axially against the sheath of the cable, the disc having a diameter of less than or equal to the diameter of the sheath and being provided with a central hole (24) through which the flexible conducting core passes; and
      in stiffening the flexible conducting core with a conducting solder, which renders the core integral with the metal disc.
    2. Method according to Claim 1, characterized in that the flexible conducting core (21) is stiffened by means of soldering a tin-lead alloy.
    3. Electrical cable (5.6; 20) with a flexible conducting core (21) surrounded by a plastic insulating sheath (22), one of the ends of the cable being stripped, by removing the sheath around the core, characterized in that it comprises a metal disc (23) which has a diameter of less than or equal to the diameter of the sheath and provided with a central hole (24), the disc being mounted so as to butt axially against the sheath, allowing the core to pass through the central hole, and an at least partial coating of the core with a conducting solder which stiffens the core and renders the stiffened core (27) mechanically integral with the disc.
    4. Electrical cable according to Claim 3, characterized in that the metal disc (23) includes, on the face turned towards the sheath, barbs (26) which are pushed axially into the sheath.
    5. Electrical cable according to Claim 4, characterized in that the barbs (26) are obtained bystamping the metal disc (23) and are bent so as to be oriented axially.
    6. Electrical cable according to Claim 4 or 5, characterized in that the barbs (26) are distributed uniformly on a circular path concentric with the central hole (24) in the metal disc.
    7. Electrical cable according to either of Claims 5 and 6, characterized in that the metal disc (23) is flat and thin.
    8. Electrical cable according to one of Claims 3 to 7, characterized in that the metal disc (23) has a frustoconical neck (25) defining the central hole (24) and projecting in the opposite direction to the sheath (22) of the cable.
    9. Electrical cable according to one of Claims 3 to 8, characterized in that the flexible conducting core (21) is a multifilament stranded core.
    10. High-voltage transformer having at least one conducting flexible electrical-connection insert (9) for at least one of its outputs (10) and at least one electrical cable (5, 6; 20) according to one of Claims 3 to 9 as high-voltage cable interacting with the conducting insert.
