Abstract

Connection cable-eyes consist entirely of a non-metal material like plastic or a ceramic material. Stress corrosion cracking is avoided by not using metals or alloys like brass that are specifically at risk from stress cracking. Mechanically stable non-metal material is used.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schlingenisolator mit einem schlingenförmigen Isolatorbauteil, das mit einander gegenüberliegenden Anschlusskauschen verbunden ist.The invention relates to a loop insulator with a loop-shaped insulator component, which is connected to opposite terminal thimbles.

Ein solcher Schlingenisolator ist beispielsweise aus der Veröffentlichung der Siemens AG mit der Bestellnummer A52813-W3001-A0001-02-00 B1 bekannt. Die dort beschriebenen Schlingenisolatoren SICAT 8WL3001/3002 werden eingesetzt, um die spannungsführende Oberleitung von elektrischen Bahnen vom Erdpotential zu isolieren. Das schlingenförmige Isolatorbauteil besteht aus glasfaserverstärktem Kunststoff, und zwar aus einem in sich geschlossenen glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoffstrang. An gegenüberliegenden Enden dieses schlingenförmigen Isolatorbauteils ist jeweils eine Anschlussarmatur angeordnet, die Anschlusskausche genannt wird. Diese Anschlusskauschen sind häufig aus einer Kupfer-Aluminium-Legierung gefertigt. Bei der Herstellung werden die mit Epoxidharz getränkten Glasfasern des Isolatorbauteils direkt auf die Anschlusskauschen gewickelt und dort gehärtet.Such a loop insulator is known for example from the publication of Siemens AG with the order number A52813-W3001-A0001-02-00 B1. The loop insulators SICAT 8WL3001 / 3002 described there are used to insulate the live conductor of electrical tracks from ground potential. The loop-shaped insulator component consists of glass-fiber-reinforced plastic, namely of a self-contained glass fiber reinforced plastic strand. At opposite ends of this loop-shaped insulator component in each case a connection fitting is arranged, which is called Anschlusskausche. These connection thimbles are often made of a copper-aluminum alloy. During production, the glass fibers of the insulator component, which are impregnated with epoxy resin, are wound directly onto the connection thimbles and hardened there.

Die bekannten Anschlusskauschen haben stets kreisrunde Öffnungen, in denen Anschlussbauteile wie Seile, Drähte oder Bolzen gehalten werden. In den Öffnungen befinden sich Kauscheneinsätze aus Kupfer-Aluminium-Legierung, aus Kupfer, Messing oder aus Polyamid. Das schlingenförmige Isolatorbauteil umgreift die Anschlusskauschen.The known connection thimbles always have circular openings in which connection components such as ropes, wires or bolts are held. In the openings are thimble inserts made of copper-aluminum alloy, copper, brass or polyamide. The loop-shaped isolator component surrounds the connection thimbles.

Die bekannten Anschlusskauschen der Schlingenisolatoren und die Anschlussbauteile bestehen aus unterschiedlichen Metallen, die unterschiedliche elektrochemische Spannungen haben. Es kann dadurch in Folge der Luftfeuchte zur elektrochemischen Korrosion kommen. Außerdem ist bei Anschlusskauschen aus Messing eine Spannungsrisskorrosion nicht auszuschließen.The known connection thimbles of the loop insulators and the connection components consist of different metals, which have different electrochemical voltages. This can lead to electrochemical corrosion as a result of the humidity. In addition, stress corrosion cracking can not be ruled out with brass connection thimbles.

DE 20 01 779 A beschreibt einen Schlingenisolator aus Glasfaser mit Kauschen, die aus Kunststoff bestehen können. DE 679 226 C beschreibt einen Schlingenisolator mit teilweiser Porzellanisolierung.DE 20 01 779 A describes a loop insulator made of glass fiber with thimbles, which may consist of plastic. DE 679 226 C describes a loop insulator with partial porcelain insulation.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schlingenisolator anzugeben, der nicht korrodiert und somit länger als ein bisher üblicher Schlingenisolator einsatzbereit ist.The invention has for its object to provide a loop insulator, which does not corrode and thus longer than a previously conventional loop insulator is ready for use.

Die Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass die Anschlusskauschen ganz aus Keramik bestehen.The object is achieved according to the invention in that the connection thimbles are made entirely of ceramic.

Dadurch, dass vermieden wird, zwei elektrochemisch reagierende Metalle aneinandergrenzen zu lassen, wird die elektrochemische Korrosion vermieden. Dadurch dass gezielt spannungsrissgefährdete Metalle oder Legierungen wie Messing nicht verwendet werden, wird eine Spannungsrisskorrosion vermieden.By avoiding the juxtaposition of two electrochemically reacting metals, electrochemical corrosion is avoided. As a result of the targeted use of stress-cracked metals or alloys such as brass, stress corrosion cracking is avoided.

Der nichtmetallische Stoff ist eine Keramik. Damit wird der besondere Vorteil erzielt, dass ein mechanisch stabiler nichtmetallischer Stoff verwendet wird.The non-metallic substance is a ceramic. This has the particular advantage that a mechanically stable non-metallic substance is used.

Es wird der besondere Vorteil erzielt, dass der Schlingenisolator trotz der Witterungseinflüsse nicht korrodiert und daher eine längere Einsatzzeit als bei bisherigen Schlingenisolatoren möglich ist. It has the particular advantage that the loop insulator does not corrode despite the weather and therefore a longer service life than previous loop insulators is possible.
