Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for passing a line comprising a deformable casing through a passage in a wall in a pressure-tight manner, the wall separating a first pressure area from a second pressure area.
- the pressure areas can have different pressures, for example atmospheric pressure on one side and negative or positive pressure on the other side.
- high temperatures or very different temperatures can prevail on both sides.
- wall is to be understood in the broadest sense. This can be a wall between two rooms or a wall as part of a housing. It is essential that this is a passage through a wall that separates different pressure areas from one another, with the passage of the line being understood as a weak point for isolating the two areas.
- a sensor In industrial applications in measurement technology, there is often a requirement to operate different components of a measurement chain in different pressure ranges. For example, a sensor is often operated in a different ambient pressure range than the associated evaluation electronics. To do this, the control and signal lines between the sensor and the evaluation electronics must be routed via a bushing from one pressure area to the other pressure area.
- pressure or vacuum bushings are common or known from practice.
- the line In the case of feedthroughs for vacuum, the line is usually separated and then routed to the opposite side via glued, encapsulated or glass-enclosed pins.
- the disadvantage of this type of implementation is the complex manufacturing and assembly process. At the point of separation, the ambient medium could also be pressed into the cable, eg between the inner conductor and the shield, or between the strands. If the pressure drops quickly, the pipe jacket could burst.
- Pressure bushings are usually constructed in such a way that the entire line is routed through the opening with a cable gland with a steel conduit thread (PG screw connection) or similar, and then with an O-ring or similar on the jacket of the line and the opening sealed by screwing.
- the disadvantage is their complex and large-volume construction. PG glands require a lot of space, are heavy and consist of several parts.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of designing and developing a device of the generic type in such a way that the aforementioned disadvantages are at least largely eliminated.
- the device should be suitable for both pressure and vacuum applications.
- the device should not be damaged in the area of the leadthrough, even over a longer period of use.
- tightness should be ensured over a wide temperature range, for example over a temperature range of about -20°C to +200°C.
- a corresponding method for producing such a device is also to be specified.
- the above object is achieved by the features of claim 1 in relation to the device according to the invention. Accordingly, it is a device for the pressure-tight passage of a line comprising a deformable jacket through a passage in a wall which separates a first pressure area from a second pressure area.
- the device comprises a sleeve surrounding the line in the area of the bushing, which has at least two annular constrictions, notches, grooves or the like that are spaced apart from one another and are formed by forming Sleeve-acting integral ring seal is upset, the sleeve being pressure-tightly connected or connectable to the wall around the passage, at least from one side.
- a seal between the line and the sleeve is produced in situ, namely by simulating the functional principle of a sealing ring, which is produced from the jacket of the line by means of a circumferential constriction, notch, groove or the like in a metal sleeve, with adjacent notches containing the material of the Coat to upset each other, creating a kind of integral sealing ring is formed by material elevation.
- a more or less raised “sealing ring” is created as an integral part of the jacket material.
- the term "line” is also to be understood in the broadest sense.
- This can be an electrical line, for example.
- the line can also be an optical line, for example a fiber optic cable. It is also conceivable that the line is designed as a fluid line, for example in the sense of a pneumatic or hydraulic line. It is essential for the cable that there is a plastically deformable sheath, which does not necessarily have to be elastic. Cables with a sheath made of PVC, PUR, FKM (FFKM), FPM (FFPM), PTFE, ductile metal, etc. are particularly suitable.
- the sleeve through which the line is routed is preferably made of ductile metal, so that it can be shaped using a suitable tool that acts on the jacket material.
- the material of the sleeve can be any malleable metal.
- the material of the sleeve is approximately matched to the material of the wall with regard to the coefficient of thermal expansion, so that no stress cracks occur during operation, particularly with temperature fluctuations, due to different coefficients of thermal expansion in the area of a possible connection.
- At least one further ring-shaped constriction is provided, so that a total of three constrictions are formed. This means that two ring seals are formed between the constrictions by material displacement/upsetting of the jacket material.
- the constrictions can be arranged equidistantly from one another and have approximately the same size. It is also conceivable to provide a different distance between the constrictions and thus also between the ring seals, depending on requirements.
- the sleeve provided for deformation can be of different lengths across the line.
- a support sleeve is provided directly or indirectly under the jacket, which sleeve serves as an abutment when the sleeve is deformed.
- the support sleeve can be drawn into the line under the jacket.
- the sleeve is basically to be understood as an independent component and can be connected to the wall as required.
- the sleeve is an integral part of the wall or of a housing enclosing the wall, so that there is no sealing problem between the sleeve and the wall. So the sleeve could be an integral part of a cylindrical sensor housing, which is machined mechanically in such a way that the sleeve in question is worked out at one end, for example by turning, eroding, etc.
- the sleeve can be glued or welded to the wall from one side.
- the sleeve is an integral part of a flange that can be connected to the wall and that can be used on different walls. What is essential here is a sealing connection between a flange surface of the flange and a contact surface of the wall, for which purpose conventional O-rings or flat seals can be used.
- the wall with the passage can be part of the housing of an apparatus, for example an electrical device, which can be a measuring device, in particular a sensor.
- an electrical device which can be a measuring device, in particular a sensor.
- the device according to the invention is used for sealing between the measuring side of a sensor and the connection accommodated in a housing, optionally with electronics.
- the line is pulled into a sleeve or the line is covered with a tight-fitting sleeve.
- a constriction or notch is made in the metal sleeve.
- the material of the outer shell is squeezed in the radial direction. Due to the internal structure of the line, the material cannot deviate inwards, which means that it is partially pushed away axially from the constriction. If the internal structure of the cable is too flexible (e.g. coax or triax cables with a foamed dielectric), it can be a support sleeve can be pushed between the jacket and the inner structure of the cable.
- the constriction is carried out with a suitable tool or device. It must be carried out all around so that the material of the jacket is deformed over the entire circumference. A simple crimp is not sufficient here.
- a squeezing device could be used, for example a toggle lever press with circulating pressing pieces that form circular segments in order to produce a circulating constriction when pressed together.
- a kneading converter that produces the constriction by moving a knurling head around is particularly suitable.
- a second constriction is introduced at a specific distance from the first constriction.
- the material of the outer jacket is also squeezed radially here and partially pushed away axially from the constriction.
- the material of the outer casing is quasi compressed between the two constrictions. This creates an area between the two constrictions where the material of the jacket is thickened and compressed: A sealing area is created between the constrictions, which is modeled on a sealing ring, such as an O-ring.
- the two steps can also be carried out simultaneously with a suitable device. If pressure now comes from the surrounding medium on the pressure side onto the simulated O-ring, this is further compressed and its sealing effect is promoted.
- the shape, depth, spacing and characteristics of the constrictions determine the shape of the replicated O-ring.
- the constrictions are dimensioned in such a way that the region of the deformable sleeve between them has almost the shape of an arc of a circle.
- the resulting pressure forces are absorbed particularly well, analogously to the O-ring. This achieves a high degree of tightness when pressure is applied over a wide temperature range, for example from -20°C to +200°C, since the overpressure supports the sealing effect at any temperature. through the sym-
- the metric design of the constrictions enables the sealing effect to be in two directions, which also allows use in the event of pressure changes.
- two or more sealing areas can also be arranged one behind the other.
- the first pressure range can be normal ambient pressure
- the second pressure range can be either a vacuum or an overpressure.
- the process is particularly suitable for high pressures. Any desired combination of first and second pressure area is conceivable.
- the method can be applied not only to electrical lines, but also to optical lines (fiber optic cables), pneumatic or hydraulic lines if these lines are routed from a first pressure area to a second pressure area.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a device for passing a line comprising a deformable jacket in a pressure-tight manner through a passage in a wall, which is not shown in the figure, the line being fed through a sleeve, before the sleeve is deformed
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of the object from FIG. 1 after the sleeve has been formed
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic view of the device according to the invention using the example of a coaxial line with a retracted support sleeve
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of a further exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention, the sleeve being part of a sensor housing,
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic view of another embodiment of a device according to the invention, the sleeve being part of a flange for direct connection to the wall, and
- FIG. 6 shows the object from FIG. 5 in a schematic, perspective view.
- Fig. 1 shows the device 1 for leading through an electrical line 2, which is guided through a metal sleeve 3, before forming.
- a first notch 4 compresses the casing 5 in the radial direction 6 , as a result of which it deflects in the axial direction 7 .
- the second notch 8 behind it also presses the jacket together radially, as a result of which the jacket also deflects axially.
- the jacket is compressed and compressed, resulting in a thickening.
- This thickening forms a sealing area 9 which is modeled after a sealing ring, for example an O-ring.
- FIG. 3 shows a situation in which this is not the case.
- the coaxial line 2 consists of a dielectric 10 made of foamed material between the inner conductor 11 and the braided shield 12.
- the foamed dielectric 10 can at best absorb small forces, so that when the notches 4, 8 are formed, the dielectric 10 would be crushed, but not the jacket 5 would be deformed.
- a support sleeve 13 can be introduced between the jacket 5 and the internal structure, for example above or below the braided shield 12, which then absorbs the radial forces during the forming process.
- FIG. 4 shows the use of such a feedthrough 1 using the example of a sensor 14.
- the sensor 14 is located in a first area 15 subjected to high pressure and possibly high temperature.
- the sensor 14 itself is sealed and resistant to pressure and temperature.
- Inside the sensor 14 there is normal pressure, which forms a second pressure area 16 .
- the bushing 1 is sealed in accordance with the teaching of the invention.
- a sealing area 9 is modeled on an O-ring, which reliably prevents the medium from penetrating into the second pressure area 16, i.e. into the interior of the sensor 14.
- FIG. 5 shows the use of such a passage 1 through a wall 17 between a first pressure area 15 and a second pressure area 16.
- a pressure flange 19 is screwed to an opening 18 in the wall 17 and sealed with an O-ring 20 in a known manner.
- the line 2 extends through the passage 1 in the pressure flange 19.
- a metal sleeve 3 is attached to the pressure flange 19 and forms the seal according to the invention by means of two indentations 4, 8.
- Fig. 6 shows the pressure flange 19 in a perspective oblique view with the line 2 and the notches 4, 8.
- the exemplary embodiments discussed above all relate to the passage of electrical lines. Instead of the electrical lines, any lines, in particular optical lines, hydraulic lines or pneumatic lines, can be fed through. It is essential that the line includes a deformable casing, so that an integral ring seal can be produced by forming.
