Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kabel mit einem Kabelmantel, in den wenigstens zwei oder mehrere Leiter eingebettet sind, die vorzugsweise jeweils von einer Isolierung umgeben sind, wobei das Kabel Markierungen aufweist, welche direkt an oder im Bereich von Stellen des Kabels angeordnet sind, an denen wenigstens einer der oder die Leiter mittels wenigstens einem isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakt kontaktierbar ist/sind und ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des Kabels bzw. zur Anbringung von Markierungen an einem ansonsten vorgefertigten Kabel, das nach einem der Ansprüche 1 bis 12 auf gebaut ist, nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 13.The invention relates to a cable with a cable sheath, in which at least two or more conductors are embedded, which are preferably each surrounded by an insulation, wherein the cable has markings, which are arranged directly on or in the region of points of the cable, where at least one or more conductors being contactable by means of at least one insulation penetrating contact, and a method of manufacturing the cable or attaching marks to an otherwise prefabricated cable constructed according to any one of
Kabel, insbesondere Flachbandkabel, die parallele und/oder miteinander verdrillte Leiter (letztere in so genannter "Twisted-Pair-Technologie") aufweisen, sind an sich bekannt. Zum Stand der Technik werden insofern die
Ein besonderes Problem dieser Kabel tritt bei der Kontaktierung der miteinander verdrillten Leiter mittels isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten auf, welche die miteinander verdrillten Leiter an genau den Stellen kontaktieren müssen, die sich für diesen Zweck eignen. Dies können z.B. Stellen sein, an denen die Leiter in der Kabelebene nebeneinander liegen oder senkrecht zur Kabelebene übereinander. Auch die parallelen Seiten liegen nicht immer definiert zueinander, so dass auch deren Halterung nicht immer sicher erfolgt.A particular problem of these cables occurs in the contacting of the twisted together conductors by means of insulation piercing contacts, which must contact the twisted together conductors in exactly the places that are suitable for this purpose. This can e.g. Be places where the conductors in the cable plane are adjacent or perpendicular to the cable plane one above the other. The parallel sides are not always defined to each other, so that their support is not always secure.
Um dieses Problem zu lösen, ist es aus der gattungsgemäßen
Die Erfindung hat die Aufgabe, dieses Problem zu beheben und das gattungsgemäße Kabel derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass eine sichere Kontaktierung von Leitern und insbesondere - wenn vorhanden - der verdrillten Leiter auch mit isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten, insbesondere Piercingkontakten, möglich ist. Es sollen ferner ein Verfahren zur Herstellung des Kabels geschaffen werden und eine Anschlusseinrichtung zur Kontaktierung des erfindungsgemäßen Kabels.The invention has the object to remedy this problem and to further develop the generic cable such that a secure contacting of conductors and in particular - if available - the twisted conductor with isolationsdurchdringenden contacts, in particular piercing contacts, is possible. It is also intended to provide a method for producing the cable and a connection device for contacting the cable according to the invention.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch den Gegenstand der Ansprüche 1 und 13.The invention solves this problem by the subject matter of
Die Markierungen erlauben in einfacher Weise das Setzen der isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte oder einer übergeordneten Anschlusseinrichtung mit dem wenigstens einen isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakt an der richtigen Stelle. Es ist aber nicht möglich, sie in einem festen Raster zu setzen. Dies löst die Erfindung dadurch, dass der Kabelmantel aus einem transparenten, insbesondere durchsichtigen Material besteht. Diese Maßnahme ist zwar an sich bekannt. Nicht erkannt wurde jedoch der Vorteil, dass es besonders einfach ist, diese Maßnahme dazu zu nutzen, automatisiert Markierungen an dem Kabel anzubringen. Die Maßnahme der Durchsichtigkeit ermöglicht es ferner, auf einfache Weise auch sonstige Eigenschaften zu untersuchen, so z.B. die Parallelität von Leitern des Kabels, um beispielsweise sicherzustellen, dass eine besonders gut geeignete Stelle des Kabels, an der die Leiter exakt wie vorgegeben zueinander angeordnet sind, zu kontaktieren.The markings allow in a simple manner the setting of the insulation piercing contacts or a parent connection device with the at least one insulation piercing contact in the right place. But it is not possible to put them in a fixed grid. This solves the invention in that the cable sheath consists of a transparent, in particular transparent material. This measure is known per se. However, the advantage was not recognized that it is particularly easy to use this measure to automatically attach markings to the cable. The measure of transparency also makes it possible to easily investigate other properties, e.g. the parallelism of conductors of the cable, for example, to ensure that a particularly suitable location of the cable to which the conductors are arranged exactly as given to each other to contact.
Insbesondere werden die Markierungen an Stellen gesetzt, an denen miteinander - insbesondere durchgängig - verdrillte Leiter im verdrillten Bereich mit IDC-Kontakten kontaktierbar sind. Zudem werden auch an Kabeln mit nur parallelen Leitern optimale Stellen zur IDC-Kontaktierung ermittelt und gekennzeichnet.In particular, the markers are set at locations where - in particular continuously - twisted conductors in the twisted region can be contacted with IDC contacts. In addition, optimal locations for IDC contacting are also determined and marked on cables with only parallel conductors.
Unter "im Bereich von Stellen des Kabels, an denen die miteinander verdrillten Leiter zu kontaktieren sind" ist zu verstehen, dass sich die Markierungen an Stellen befinden, die einen vorbekannten - z.B. konstanten - Abstand zu den mit den Piercingkontakten zu kontaktierenden Stellen aufweisen.By "in the region of locations of the cable where the twisted conductors are to be contacted" is to be understood that the markings are located in places, have a previously known - for example, constant - distance to the points to be contacted with the Piercingkontakten.
Zwar ist aus der
Vorzugsweise besteht der Kabelmantel aus einem mittels einer Lichtquelle durchleuchtbaren Material.Preferably, the cable sheath consists of a transilluminable by means of a light source material.
Es ist zweckmäßig, wenn die Markierungen als leicht auffindbare Durchbrüche oder Einprägungen im Kabelmantel ausgebildet sind. Ergänzt wird diese Variante der Erfindung in vorteilhafter Weise durch eine Anschlusseinrichtung zum Kontaktieren miteinander verdrillter Leiter eines Kabels, welche eine Einrichtung zum Ausrichten an den Markierungen des Kabels aufweist. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise in einfachster Weise um einen Vorsprung zum Eingriff in einen Durchbruch oder eine Ausprägung handeln, welcher/welche die Markierung bildet.It is expedient if the markings are formed as easily detectable openings or indentations in the cable sheath. This variant of the invention is supplemented in an advantageous manner by a connection device for contacting mutually twisted conductors of a cable, which has a device for aligning the markings of the cable. In the simplest possible way, this may be a projection for engaging in a breakthrough or an expression which forms the marking.
Vorzugsweise liegt die Markierung direkt seitlich (senkrecht zur Längsrichtung X neben der zu kontaktierenden Stelle. Die Markierung kann aber auch in Längsrichtung des Kabels etwas versetzt liegen, wenn dies bei der Konstruktion der Anschlußvorrichtung entsprechend berücksichtigt ist. Wichtig ist, dass der Vorsprung so in die Markierung eingreift, dass der isolationsdurchdringende Kontakt zur Kontaktierung der verdrillten Leiter richtig ausgerichtet ist.Preferably, the marking lies directly laterally (perpendicular to the longitudinal direction X next to the point to be contacted, but the marking can also be slightly offset in the longitudinal direction of the cable, if this is taken into consideration in the construction of the connecting device Mark engages that the insulation piercing contact for contacting the twisted conductors is properly aligned.
Wenn mehrere verdrillte Leiterpaar vorgesehen sind, können entsprechend ggf. auch mehrere - ggf. verschiedene - Markierungen für jedes verdrillte Leiterpaar vorgesehen sein.If a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors are provided, it is also possible, if appropriate, to provide a plurality of markings, possibly different ones, for each twisted pair of conductors.
Es bietet sich an, in Längsrichtung je vollständigem Wendelumlauf (Verdrillung über 360°) je eine der Markierungen vorzusehen.It is advisable to provide each of the markings in the longitudinal direction for each complete helical circulation (twisting over 360 °).
Vorzugsweise sind die Markierungen in Längsrichtung des Kabels neben den Stellen des Kabels angeordnet sind, an denen die miteinander verdrillten Leiter von den isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten zu kontaktieren sind.Preferably, the markers are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the cable adjacent to the locations of the cable at which the twisted-together conductors are to be contacted by the insulation-penetrating contacts.
In der Regel sind dies die Bereiche, an denen die denen die miteinander verdrillten Leiter in Richtung der Bewegung der isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte miteinander fluchten.Typically these are the areas where the conductors twisted together are aligned with each other in the direction of movement of the insulation piercing contacts.
Die Erfindung schafft auch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Kabels, bei dem aus einem vorgefertigten Kabel - vorzugsweise mit wenigstens einem Paar paralleler Leiter und/oder miteinander verdrillter Leiter - ermittelt wird, an welchen die Stellen ggf. die parallelen Leiter oder ggf. - d.h., wenn jeweils vorhanden - die miteinander verdrillten Leiter mit den Isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten kontaktierbar sind, wobei das Kabel bzw. der Kabelmantel vorzugsweise an diesen Stellen oder im Bereich dieser Stellen mit Markierungen versehen wird. Dazu wird das im übrigen vorgefertigte Kabel mittels einer Lichtquelle durchleuchtet, die relativ zum Kabel beweglich ist, wobei mit Hilfe eines ebenfalls relativbeweglichen Sensors auf der anderen Seite des Kabel(mantel)s die Stellen ermittelt werden, an denen die parallelen oder verdrillten Leiter mittels isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten kontaktierbar sind und wobei das Kabel bzw. sein Mantel mit Markierungen versehen wird, an denen der jeweilige isolationsdurchdringende Kontakt bzw. eine entsprechende Anschlusseinrichtung zum Kontaktieren ausgerichtet wird. Dies Verfahren ist einfach und auch automatisiert durchführbar. Nach dem Stand der Technik war kein Verfahren bekannt, um Markierungen an Kabeln z.B. zur Kennzeichnung von zur Kontaktierung geeigneten Stellen an verdrillten Leitern in einem Kabelmantel setzen zu können, obwohl es an sich bereits angedacht worden war, derartige Markierungen am Kabel anzubringen. Die Idee konnte aber nicht in ein automatisiertes Verfahren umgesetzt werden, da der Abstand der geeigneten Stellen im Kabelmantel in der Regel nicht so konstant ist, dass man die Markierungen einfach in einem festen Raster anbringt. Dieses Problem kann erfindungsgemäß gelöst werden.The invention also provides a method for producing a cable in which it is determined from a prefabricated cable, preferably with at least one pair of parallel conductors and / or conductors twisted together, at which positions the parallel conductors or, if appropriate, ie if present - the conductors twisted together can be contacted with the insulation piercing contacts, wherein the cable or the cable sheath is preferably provided with markings at these locations or in the region of these locations. For this purpose, the otherwise prefabricated cable is transilluminated by means of a light source which is movable relative to the cable, with the help of a likewise relatively movable sensor on the other side of the cable (s) s the locations are determined at which the parallel or twisted conductors by means of insulation penetrating Contacts are contactable and wherein the cable or its jacket is provided with markings at which the respective insulation piercing contact or a corresponding connection device is aligned for contacting. This procedure is simple and automated. According to the state of the art, no method has been known in order to be able to set markings on cables, for example for marking contactable locations on twisted conductors in a cable sheath, although it has already been envisaged to attach such markings to the cable. However, the idea could not be implemented in an automated process, since the distance between the suitable locations in the cable sheath is usually not so constant that the markings are simply attached in a fixed grid. This problem can be solved according to the invention.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein vorkonfektioniertes bzw. vorgefertigtes Kabel mit einem Kabelmantel 1, in den Leiter 2 eingebettet sind, die vorzugsweise - aber nicht zwingend - wiederum von einer Isolierung 3 umgeben sind.Fig. 1 shows a prefabricated or prefabricated cable with a
Hier ist das Kabel als Flachbandkabel ausgebildet, das vierzehn Leiter 2a bis 2n auf weist. Diese Zahl ist beispielhaft zu verstehen und kann im Rahmen der Erfindung variiert werden. Der Durchmesser der Leiter 2 des Kabels kann dabei gleich oder auch verschieden sein.Here, the cable is designed as a ribbon cable, which has fourteen
Die Leiter 2a bis 2n sind hier in zwei Gruppen 4, 5 zu je sieben Leitern 2a bis 2g und 2h bis 2n gruppiert, wobei zwischen den beiden Gruppen ein über den Abstand der Leiter 2 innerhalb der Gruppen 4, 5 hinausgehender Abstand besteht, der von einem Kabelmantelstreifen 6 überbrückt ist.The
In der einen Gruppe 4 von Leitern 2a bis 2g liegen die Leiter 2 alle parallel zueinander. In der zweiten Gruppe von Leitern 2 liegen die fünf Leiter 2h bis 21 parallel zueinander. Die Leiter 2k und 2 m weisen einen größeren Durchmesser auf als die Leiter 2a bis 2j. Wenigstens zwei der Leiter - die Leiter 2m, 2n - sind darüber hinaus miteinander verdrillt (Twisted Pair), wobei diese verdrillte Einheit 7 wiederum als Ganzes parallel zu den weiteren Leitern angeordnet ist.In the one
Wesentlich ist zunächst, dass wenigstens zwei der Leiter 2 des Kabels miteinander verdrillt sind. Alternativ könnten im Kabel auch mehrere verdrillte Leiterpaare vorzugsweise in einer Ebene nebeneinander angeordnet sein (hier nicht dargestellt). Darüber hinaus wäre es auch denkbar, mehr als zwei Leiter miteinander zu verdrillen.It is essential first that at least two of the conductors 2 of the cable are twisted together. Alternatively, a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors could preferably be arranged in a plane next to one another in the cable (not shown here). In addition, it would also be conceivable to twist more than two conductors together.
Das Kabel bildet hier eine besonders bevorzugte Flachbandkabelform aus. Alternative Ausgestaltungen sind denkbar, so insbesondere flach elliptisch geformte Kabel. Werden runde Kabel eingesetzt, empfiehlt es sich, ein Polarisierungsmittel wie einen Steg am Außenmantel vorzusehen.The cable forms here a particularly preferred ribbon cable form. Alternative embodiments are conceivable, in particular flat elliptically shaped cables. If round cables are used, it is recommended to provide a polarizing agent such as a bar on the outer jacket.
Vorzugsweise besteht der Kabelmantel 1 aus einem transparenten bzw. lichtdurchlässigen Material, was beispielsweise aus Fig. 5 bis 7 veranschaulicht wird.Preferably, the
Um nicht nur die Leiter 2a bis 21 sondern auch die miteinander verdrillten Leiter 2m, 2n mittels isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte (IDC-Kontakte) 8 (Fig.3, Fig. 7) kontaktieren zu können, wird das Kabel 1 der Fig.1 einem letzten Fertigungsschritt unterzogen.In order to be able to contact not only the
Dabei wird zunächst ermittelt, an welchen die Stellen die miteinander verdrillten Leiter 2m, 2n mit den isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten kontaktierbar sind. In der Regel werden dies die relativ zur Bewegungsrichtung der Isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakte entweder miteinander fluchtenden oder nebeneinander angeordneten Stellen 9 oder 10 sein. An den gewünschten Stellen wird das Kabel 1 dann einmalig oder vorzugsweise im Bereich jeder Wendel mit Markierungen 11 versehen.In this case, it is first determined at which points the
Hier ist es gewünscht, die miteinander verdrillten Leiter 2m, 2n an den Stellen zu kontaktieren, an denen sie relativ zur Kabelebene senkrecht übereinander (in Fig. 7 also parallel zur Blattebene) liegen. Dies sind die Stellen 9, an denen die Leiter 2m, 2n in der Richtung der Bewegung der IDC-Kontakte 8 miteinander fluchten. Sodann werden die später zu kontaktierenden Stellen 9 jeweils mit wenigstens einer der Markierungen 11 versehen.Here, it is desirable to contact the
Die Markierungen 11 können bei dem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel leicht erkennbar und übersichtlich im mittleren Kabelmantelstreifen 6 als Durchbrüche ausgebildet sein (Fig. 2).In the preferred exemplary embodiment, the
Es ist aber prinzipiell auch denkbar, Markierungen anderer Art am Kabelmantel vorzusehen. Wichtig ist, dass die Markierungen 11 in einer festen Relation zur Wendelanordnung und der Ausrichtung der miteinander verdrillten Leiter 2m, 2n stehen. Es bietet sich an, möglichst genau die mit den isolationsdurchdringenden Kontakten zu kontaktierenden Stellen bzw. Bereiche des Kabels in dessen Längsrichtung X zu markieren, was besonders gut in Fig. 7 ersichtlich ist. Die Markierungen 11 sind hier senkrecht zur Längserstreckung X seitlich neben der kontaktierbaren Stelle 9 im Kabelmantelstreifen 6 gesetzt.However, it is also conceivable in principle to provide markings of a different kind on the cable sheath. It is important that the
Das Markieren erfolgt vorzugsweise automatisch mittels einer Einrichtung zum Durchleuchten des Kabels, wobei das Kabel beispielsweise von einer Seite her mit einer Lichtquelle durchleuchtet wird, die relativ zum Kabel beweglich ist. Dabei wird mit Hilfe eines ebenfalls relativbeweglichen Sensors auf der anderen Seite des Kabels ermittelt, wann die Leiter 2m, 2n direkt übereinander liegen.The marking is preferably carried out automatically by means of a device for scanning the cable, wherein the cable is, for example, transilluminated from one side with a light source which is movable relative to the cable. It is determined by means of a likewise relatively movable sensor on the other side of the cable, when the
Dies ist möglich, da der Lichteinfall in den Sensor davon abhängt, ob die beiden verdrillten Leiter übereinander oder nebeneinander liegen. Wird ein Maximum an Lichteinfall ermittelt, wird die Markierung gesetzt.This is possible because the light entering the sensor depends on whether the two twisted conductors are on top of each other or next to each other. If a maximum of light is detected, the marker is set.
Das Kontaktieren erfolgt vorzugsweise mittels einer Anschlusseinrichtung mit einem vorzugsweise mehrteiligen Gehäuse 12, 13 und mit den IDC-Kontakten 8 (vorzugsweise Piercingkontakte), die z.B. am Deckel befestigt sein können. Das Gehäuse 12, 13 wird an einer der Markierungen 11 ausgerichtet. So ist es beispielsweise denkbar, dass das Gehäuseunterteil 12 einen Vorsprung 14 aufweist, der dazu ausgerichtet ist, in den Durchbruch, welcher die Marierungen 11 bildet, einzugreifen, so das die richtige Ausrichtung der Anschlusseinrichtung 8 beim Kontaktieren des Kabels quasi "automatisch" gewährleistet ist (Fig. 7).The contacting is preferably carried out by means of a connection device with a preferably
