Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing device for rendering waterproof a connection connector in a transmission link and / or receiving signals, in particular in a link up / down of a mobile radiotelephone installation.
  • a radiotelephone installation mobile includes transmitting and / or receiving stations, called BTS ("Base Transceiver Station") which are distributed on the ground so as to obtain the desired coverage.
  • BTS Base Transceiver Station
  • Each BTS station is notably equipped with antennas transmitting and receiving which are mounted at the end of a mast, pylon or any other structure, located near the station. Connections necessary between a BTS station and its associated antennas are ensured by at least one main coaxial cable, the connection of which is made by secondary coaxial cables or "braces", to be able to establish a up / down transmission link between two users. All these connections and these connections are of a standard type responding to very specific standards.
  • each strap are connected to the element associated by means of standard connectors which must be waterproof to ensure the reliability of microwave signal transmission.
  • the ramps outside the BTS station are weather, and operators, as well as installers, have Up to now use different solutions to ensure watertightness required at the shoulder strap connections.
  • An object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks by proposing to carry out the required seals using reversible means, that is to say that are reusable after each intervention requiring their removal.
  • the invention provides a sealing device for sealing a connection connector in a connection transmission and / or reception of signals, in particular in a link up / down of a mobile radiotelephone installation, characterized in that it comprises an envelope in tubular form or windscreen made of a flexible and deformable material, which is attached to the connection connector (C) to surround it in a sealed manner part, and which can be rolled up to release said connection from connection on the other hand.
  • the envelope is made in one elastomeric material such as EPDM.
  • each end of the envelope has an extra thickness to form a semi-rigid peripheral bead, and the two beads located at the two ends of the sleeve may have different diameters.
  • the two beads of the envelope are suitable to engage respectively in two peripheral grooves of the connection connectors to be kept in place and ensure sealing.
  • the sealing device can advantageously be completed by a connecting sleeve which serves as a support for the windscreen.
  • a BTS station in the field of radiotelephones mobile is schematically illustrated in Figure 1.
  • This BTS station is connected to at least one transmitting and receiving antenna A, located nearby from the BTS station and mounted on a raised structure, for example at the end of a pylon or mast to be in favorable conditions transmission and reception.
  • Signal transmission between the BTS station and the antenna A is carried out by means of at least one main coaxial cable 10, of cables secondary coaxial link 12 or suspenders and connectors connection C, all these elements meeting current standards in the telecommunications field.
  • the main cable 10 is mounted between the BTS station and an S filtering and duplexing system located near antenna A.
  • the connections of this main cable 10 to the BTS station and to the system S on the one hand, and of said system S at the antenna A on the other hand, are provided by the secondary cables 12 which are connected by the C connectors.
  • connection connectors C must be sealed.
  • the sealing device 15 is illustrated in the Figure 2 and comprises at least one envelope in tubular form hereinafter called windscreen 17 which is made of a flexible material and deformable, for example an elastomer such as EPDM, to wrap watertight each connection connector C which must be returned waterproof.
  • windscreen 17 which is made of a flexible material and deformable, for example an elastomer such as EPDM, to wrap watertight each connection connector C which must be returned waterproof.
  • each end of the windscreen 17 has an extra thickness to constitute a semi-rigid peripheral bead 19 which is intended to provide both a fixing function and a sealing function.
  • each connection connector C includes a male end cap and a female end cap which are respectively attached at the ends of two coaxial lines, knowing that one of these two lines coaxial is made up of a secondary coaxial cable or strap 12.
  • a coaxial cable is made up an insulating sheath, a shield and a central core.
  • the sealing device 15 is advantageously supplemented by a semi-rigid sleeve 20, made of an elastomeric material, which is intended to be attached to the sheath of the secondary coaxial cable to support the windscreen 17.
  • the sleeve 20 is attached to the end of the sheath 22 of the coaxial cable 12, then mount the male end piece M.
  • the sleeve 20 Towards its end adjacent to the male end piece M, the sleeve 20 has a peripheral groove 34 in which is housed a bead 19 of the windscreen 17.
  • the female endpiece F is illustrated in FIG. 4 and comprises, in a manner known per se and standardized, a central tubular core 35 forming a clamp and a body 37 whose periphery has a thread 39. A behind the thread 39, the presence of a peripheral groove 40 is noted.
  • the windshield 17 When connecting the two ends M and F, the windshield 17 is rolled up so as to release the male end piece M. Once the connection made, the windscreen 17 is again rolled up to resume its initial shape and engage the second bead 19 in the groove 40 of the female endpiece F, so as to wrap waterproof material the male M and female F tips.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 These operations for mounting the sealing device 15 are illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • the windscreen 17 is rolled up (FIG. 5) to allow the connection of the two male M and female F ends, then in place ( Figure 6) to ensure or reassure the seal.
  • the sealing device 15 according to the invention is of the type reversible, that is to say it can make any maintenance operation and re-seal without being exchange.
  • the bead 19 which is engaged in the groove 34 of the sleeve 20 has a diameter d1 which is always the same, since each secondary coaxial cable 12 satisfies standardized dimensions.
  • the other bead 19 may have a variable diameter d2, which varies depending on the type of connector used.
  • the invention does not only apply to the example described above, but can also be applied to any connection connectors in a field other than that of installations for mobile radiotelephones and where these are also encountered sealing problems.
