  • Instrument cables (and measuring leads and the like.) are usually unbalanced lines with a coaxial structure.
  • a typical instrument cable comprises, as viewed from the outside in, an outer sheath of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a copper helical shield or copper braid, a conductive plastic layer of conductive PVC or polyethylene (PE), a dielectric (conductor insulation) of solid or foamed polyolefins (PE or PP) and a copper inner conductor.

  • microfoni By using it as a connecting line between high-impedance devices (inductive pickup sensors and high-impedance amplifiers), "microfoni” appears as a disturbing component. This term refers to sounds that are audible when the cable moves in the form of crashes and crackles. Microphone can also be expressed in terms of values, with a higher value indicating poorer noise behavior and a lower value indicating better noise performance.
  • a conductive layer is applied as a shield over the inner conductor directly surrounding dielectric in the conventional manufacturing in the interior of the cable, such as in the EP 0 260 373 A2 shown.
  • the conductivity of this screen significantly influences the microphone: the higher the conductivity, the lower the microphone.
  • the conductive layer becomes usually made of electrically conductive PE or PVC. PE has a 100 times higher conductivity than PVC, so from this point of view PE should always be preferred to PVC.
  • the bonding of the conductive layer to the dielectric surrounding the inner conductor is problematic. If, for example, a dielectric without foaming is used, the separation of the conductive layer from the dielectric, which is necessary for further processing, usually results in the tearing off of the latter. In a foamed dielectric, such as from the US 5 523 528 As is known, it is impossible to separate the conductive layer from the dielectric. Only the use of an applied between the two components release agent (eg graphite), such as in the U.S. 4,678,865 suggested, can remedy this situation. However, release agents generally have the disadvantage that they contribute significantly to the deterioration of the microphone performance of a cable.

  • a shielded cable is known that is designed for special applications at high operating temperatures (over 200 ° C). Accordingly, the high temperature cable has particularly durable and thus relatively expensive materials: a conductive core is surrounded by a dielectric layer of an ethylene polymer or copolymer (eg, PTFE). An insulating coating of aromatic polyamide or polyimide adheres to the dielectric layer. A thin and easily removable semiconductor layer, in turn, of an ethylene polymer or copolymer (eg, PTFE) with fine conductive particles covers the coating. Further, a metal shield covering the semiconductor layer in the form of a braided wire and an outer insulating sheath made of PTFE or the like are provided.

Description

  • Die Erfindung betrifft ein Audiokabel.
  • Instrumentenkabel (sowie Meßleitungen und dergl.) sind üblicherweise unsymmetrische Leitungen mit einem koaxialen Aufbau. Ein typisches Instrumentenkabel umfaßt - von außen nach innen betrachtet - einen Außenmantel aus Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), einen Kupfer-Wendelschirm oder ein Kupfergeflecht, eine leitfähige Kunststoffschicht aus leitfähigem PVC oder Polyethylen (PE), ein Dielektrikum (Leiterisolation) aus Voll- oder geschäumten Polyolefinen (PE oder PP) und einen Kupfer-Innenleiter. Für die elektrische Qualität eines solchen Kabels sind die Werte für den Leiterwiderstand und die Kapazität (Leiter/Schirm) von Bedeutung. Durch den Einsatz als Verbindungsleitung zwischen hochohmigen Geräten (induktive Tonabnehmer Sensoren und hochohmige Verstärker) tritt als Störkomponente "Mikrofonie" auf. Unter diesem Begriff versteht man Geräusche, die bei Bewegung des Kabels in Form von Krachen und Knistern hörbar sind. Mikrofonie kann ebenfalls in Werten angegeben werden, wobei ein höherer Wert für ein schlechteres Störverhalten und ein niedrigerer Wert für ein besseres Störverhalten steht.
  • Zur Eindämmung von Mikrofonie wird bei der herkömmlichen Fertigung im Inneren des Kabels eine Leitschicht als ein Schirm über das den Innenleiter unmittelbar umgebende Dielektrikum angebracht, wie z.B. in der EP 0 260 373 A2 gezeigt. Die Leitfähigkeit dieses Schirms beeinflußt die Mikrofonie maßgeblich: je höher die Leitfähigkeit, desto geringer die Mikrofonie. Die Leitschicht wird üblicherweise aus elektrisch leitfähigem PE oder PVC gebildet. PE weist eine 100-fach höhere Leitfähigkeit auf als PVC, so daß unter diesem Gesichtspunkt PE grundsätzlich PVC vorzuziehen wäre.
  • Problematisch ist jedoch das Verkleben der Leitschicht mit dem den Innenleiter umgebenden Dielektrikum. Wird z.B. ein Dielektrikum ohne Schäumung verwendet, so führt die zur Weiterverarbeitung notwendige Trennung der Leitschicht vom Dielektrikum in der Regel zum Abreißen des letzteren. Bei einem geschäumten Dielektrikum, wie beispielsweise aus der US 5 523 528 bekannt, ist es gar unmöglich die Leitschicht vom Dielektrikum zu trennen. Einzig die Verwendung eines zwischen den beiden Komponenten aufgebrachten Trennmittels (z.B. Graphit), wie etwa in der US 4 678 865 vorgeschlagen, kann in diesem Fall Abhilfe schaffen. Trennmittel haben aber wiederum allgemein den Nachteil, daß sie erheblich zur Verschlechterung des Mikrofonieverhaltens eines Kabels beitragen.
  • Die herkömmliche Kabelfertigung versucht deshalb, diesem Problem mit einer Leitschicht aus PVC zu begegnen, die sich aber nicht mit dem Dielektrikum aus Polyolefinen verbindet. Die daraus resultierende schlechtere Leitfähigkeit schafft eine erhöhte Mikrofonie.
  • Aus der FR 2 712 115 A1 ist ein abgeschirmtes Kabel bekannt, das für besondere Einsätze bei hohen Betriebstemperaturen (über 200 °C) konzipiert ist. Dementsprechend weist das Hochtemperaturkabel besonders widerstandsfähige und damit verhältnismäßig teure Materialien auf: eine leitfähige Seele ist von einer dielektrischen Schicht aus einem Ethylenpolymer oder -copolymer (z. B. PTFE) umgeben. An der dielektrischen Schicht haftet ein isolierender Überzug aus aromatischem Polyamid oder Polyimid. Eine dünne und leicht entfernbare Halbleiterschicht wiederum aus einem Ethylenpolymer oder -copolymer (z. B. PTFE) mit feinen leitfähigen Partikeln bedeckt den Überzug. Ferner sind eine die Halbleiterschicht bedeckende Metallabschirmung in Form eines Geflechts aus Leitungsdrähten und eine äußere isolierende Schutzhülle aus PTFE oder ähnlichem Material vorgesehen.
  • Die US 4 059 724 offenbart ein abgeschirmtes Mikrofonkabel mit einem lunenleiter aus Kupfer, einem den lunenmantel umgebenden Dielektrikum aus Vinyl, einer das Dielektrikum umgebenden Leitschicht aus Kohlenstoffpulver und Kunststoff, und einer zwischen dem Dielektrikum und der Leitschicht eingefügten elektrisch nicht leitfähigen Trennschicht aus dünnem Japan-Papier, Zellophan oder Baumwollband.
  • Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Audiokabel mit verbessertem Mikrofonieverhalten unter Vermeidung der oben geschilderten Nachteile zu schaffen.
  • Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Audiokabel mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgeschlagen. Es hat sich gezeigt, daß mit dieser neuartigen Kabelkonstruktion ein Verarbeitungs- und Mikrofonieverhalten erzielt werden kann, das mit herkömmlich aufgebauten Kabeln nicht erreichbar ist. Deshalb kann eine durch die Einfügung der zusätzlichen Schicht bedingte aufwendigere Herstellung in Kauf genommen werden.
  • Eine Leiterisolation mit einem Dielektrikum aus Voll- oder geschäumten Polyolefinen, insbesondere PE oder PP,sorgt für gute Kapazitätswerte.
  • Die Leitschicht aus elektrisch leitfähigem PE weist eine relativ hohe Leitfähigkeit auf, d.h. im Vergleich zu einer Schicht aus leitfähigem PVC ist der elektrische Widerstand einer Schicht aus leitfähigem PE deutlich niedriger.
  • Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügte Zeichnung beschrieben. In der Zeichnung zeigt die einzige Figur eine perspektivische Seitenansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Audiokabels mit absatzweise entfernten Schichten.
  • Das in der Figur dargestellte Kabel ist ein koaxial aufgebautes Audiokabel mit einer Kupferlitze als Innenleiter 10. Der Innenleiter 10 ist von einem Dielektrikum 12 aus Zell-PP umgeben, das zur Isolation des Innenleiters 10 dient. Das Dielektrikum 12 ist wiederum umgeben von einer Leitschicht 14 aus PE mit einer sehr hohen Leitfähigkeit.
  • Zwischen das Dielektrikum 12 und die Leitschicht 14 ist eine zusätzliche Schicht 16 eingefügt. Diese Schicht 16 dient mechanisch als Trennschicht und elektrisch als Dielektrikum, d.h. sie ist elektrisch nicht leitfähig. Bei der dargestellten bevorzugten Ausführungsform besteht die Trennschicht 16 aus PVC.
  • Das Kabel weist ferner einen die Leitschicht 14 umgebenden Kupfer-Wendelschirm 18 und einen Außenmantel 20 aus PVC auf.
  • Ein Kabel mit diesem Aufbau zeigt gegenüber herkömmlichen Audiokabeln ein erheblich verbessertes Mikrofonieverhalten, wobei für eine Trennung des Dielektrikums 12 von der Leitschicht 14 gesorgt ist, die eine problemlose Abisolierung des Kabels ermöglicht.
  • Der erfindungsgemäße Aufbau eignet sich auch für Kabel in anderen Einsatzbereichen, in denen Mikrofonie oder ähnliche Effekte eliminiert werden sollen.
