Abstract

The junction box has retaining devices (15,26) for the optical fibres (26) and the optical cable (14). A drum (13) is located inside the box (11) and has a radius greater than or equal to the minimum radius of curvature of the fibres for correct signal transmission. An optical connector (17) is located inside the drum and connects the cable's fibres to the separate fibres. The fibres loop around the outside of the drum and pass through holes to the connector. Two drums may be provided one serving the cable and the other the separate fibres - with the connector between them. Several drums may be used. The outer surface of the drum may have radial walls with slots. Each slot holds one fibre in the event of a fibre's breaking during connection.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une boite de raccordement pour câbles à fibres optiques. Le mot boîte doit être considéré ici dans son sens le plus large et englobe tout conteneur rigide destiné å recevoir des connexions de fibres optiques, étanche ou non, pressurisable ou non, en forme de pot enterré, de boite murale, de boite de rue ou d'armoire et de toutes dimensions. The present invention relates to a connection box for fiber optic cables. The word box must be considered here in its broadest sense and includes any rigid container intended to receive fiber optic connections, waterproof or not, pressurizable or not, in the form of a buried pot, wall box, street box or cupboards and all sizes.

Une des difficultés rencontrées avec les opérations de connexion d'unefibre optique, que ce soit pour faire 1 épissure non démontable de l'extrémité d'une fibre sur une autre, ou pour monter un connecteur démontable sur l'extré- mité d'une fibre, est le risque de rupture de la fibre pendant l'opération. Présentement, ce risque ne peut être totalement écarté. En cas de rupture accidentelle d'une fibre optique au voisinage de son extrémité, si la longueur de fibre disponible n'est plus suffisante, il faut soit changer la fibre entière, soit faire une épissure supplémentaire, ce qui est coûteux et gênant. One of the difficulties encountered with the operations of connecting an optical fiber, either to make a non-removable splice from the end of one fiber to another, or to mount a removable connector on the end of a fiber, is the risk of fiber breakage during the operation. Currently, this risk cannot be completely ruled out. In the event of accidental breakage of an optical fiber in the vicinity of its end, if the available fiber length is no longer sufficient, it is necessary either to change the entire fiber, or to make an additional splice, which is costly and inconvenient.

Afin d'éliminer en pratique les inconvénients d'une rupture de fibre lors d'une connexion dans une boite, conformément à la présente invention, on prévoit dans la boite des moyens pour faciliter le déplacement dtune réserve de fil en respectant le rayon de courbure minimum de la fibre nécessaire à une transmission de bonne qualité. In order to eliminate in practice the drawbacks of a fiber break during a connection in a box, in accordance with the present invention, means are provided in the box to facilitate the movement of a reserve of wire while respecting the radius of curvature. minimum fiber needed for good quality transmission.

Avantageusement, une boite de raccordement selon la présente invention comporte à l'intérieur au moins un tambour d'enroulement de fibres, ayant un rayon supérieur ou égal au rayon minimum requis. Advantageously, a connection box according to the present invention comprises inside at least one fiber winding drum, having a radius greater than or equal to the minimum radius required.

Avantageusement, la boite comporte une zone de connexion dégagée, avec un organe tel que peigne, échelle, surface autocollante, etc, pour fixer les fibres ou les connexions à l'intérieur de la boîte. Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse de la. présente invention, organe de fixation est disposé à l'intérieur du tambour. Advantageously, the box has a clear connection area, with a member such as a comb, ladder, self-adhesive surface, etc., for fixing the fibers or the connections inside the box. In an advantageous embodiment of the. present invention, the fixing member is disposed inside the drum.

D'autres caractéristiques de l'invention apparaI- tront au cours de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en regard des dessins ci-joints et qui fera bien comprendre comment l'invention peut être réalisée. Other characteristics of the invention will appear during the description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the attached drawings and which will make it clear how the invention can be implemented.

La boite de la figure 1 comporte un fond 11, avec un bord 12, ajouré comme il convient pour le passage des cibles et un couvercle, non représenté, qui peut être articulé, emboîté, encliqueté, ou fixable de toute façon appropriée. La boite peut être étanche. Les entrées de câbles étanches et les couvercles étanches sont bien connus et ne
présentent rien de particulier dans l'application à la boite de la présente invention. La boite est caractérisée par un tambour creux 13 de rayon adapté aux fibres optiques. Un câble 14 maintenu par serre-câble approprié 15 est dégarni et les fibres individuelles sont enroulées autour du tambour pour constituer, avec un rayon de courbure adéquate, une réserve de fibre. Un organe de fixation 17 de fibres individuelles, ou de paires de fibres est disposé au centre du tambour 13.Ce moyen peut être un peigne 21 (figure 5), une échelle 22 (figure 6) ou tout autre moyen approprié tel qu'une plaquette garnie d'une couche autocollante en surface, un adhésif du genre "Velcro" etc. Dans la suite de la description, l'organe de fixation sera désigné peigne pour simplifier, mais il est bien entendu que cette désignation couvre tous les moyens appropriés. Des câbles individuels 25a, 25b, 25c 25f > dont la fonction est d' éclater vers différentes utilisations les fibres du câble 14,sont fixées à leur entrée dans la boite par des serre-câbles appropriés 26a,....26f.
The box of Figure 1 has a bottom 11, with an edge 12, perforated as appropriate for the passage of targets and a cover, not shown, which can be hinged, nested, snapped, or fixable in any suitable way. The box can be waterproof. Waterproof cable entries and tight covers are well known and do not
present nothing particular in the application to the box of the present invention. The box is characterized by a hollow drum 13 of radius adapted to optical fibers. A cable 14 held by a suitable cable clamp 15 is stripped and the individual fibers are wound around the drum to constitute, with an adequate radius of curvature, a reserve of fiber. A fixing member 17 of individual fibers, or pairs of fibers, is placed in the center of the drum 13. This means can be a comb 21 (FIG. 5), a ladder 22 (FIG. 6) or any other suitable means such as a plate filled with a self-adhesive layer on the surface, an adhesive of the "Velcro" type, etc. In the following description, the fixing member will be designated comb for simplicity, but it is understood that this designation covers all appropriate means. Individual cables 25a, 25b, 25c 25f> whose function is to burst the fibers of the cable 14 for different uses, are fixed at their entry into the box by suitable cable clamps 26a, .... 26f.

Les fibres 25 sont également enroulées autour du tambour 13.The fibers 25 are also wound around the drum 13.

Le tambour peut comporter des perforaticns 28a,.....28f pour permettre le passage des fibres individuelles 25 ou les fibres 16 du câble 14 au centre du tambour . I1 est aussi possible de disposer les extrémités des fibres par dessus le bord du tambour creux 13. Dans l'intérieur du tambour, les fibres 16 fpnt connectées aux fibres 25, soit par des épissures non démontables, soit par des connecteurs démontables, les connexions pouvant être différentes selon les besoins du montage et des installations concernées. Le nombre des fibres représentées n'est pas limitatif. Si au cours d'une opération de connexion, une fibre est brisée, ou si une connexion doit être modifiée, il suffit de dérouler d'un tour la fibre interessée pour refaire la connexion.En prévoyant quelques tours pour chaque fibre, on est en pratique totalement à l'abri de la situation désagréable dans laquelle une fibre serait trop courte pour réaliser la connexion.The drum may include perforations 28a, ..... 28f to allow the passage of the individual fibers 25 or the fibers 16 of the cable 14 in the center of the drum. It is also possible to arrange the ends of the fibers over the edge of the hollow drum 13. In the interior of the drum, the fibers 16 are connected to the fibers 25, either by non-removable splices, or by removable connectors, the connections which may be different depending on the needs of the assembly and the installations concerned. The number of fibers shown is not limiting. If during a connection operation, a fiber is broken, or if a connection must be modified, it is enough to unroll the fiber in question to make the connection again. By providing a few turns for each fiber, we are in practice completely safe from the unpleasant situation in which a fiber would be too short to make the connection.

La figure 2 représente en vue en plan,à titre d'exemple,une une boîte de raccordement 31 de deux câbles 32 et 33, avec un tambour creux 34 et un peigne 35. FIG. 2 shows in plan view, by way of example, a connection box 31 of two cables 32 and 33, with a hollow drum 34 and a comb 35.

La figure 3 représente une boite 41 dans laquelle arrive un câble 42 de n fibres optiques. I1 en repart un câble 43 de n-4 fibres tandis que quatre fibres 44a, 44b, 44c et 44d sont piquées sur le câble 42 en vue d'une distribution. Les fibres du câble 43 peuvent par exemple être con bectées à cellesdu câble 42 par des épissures non démontables tandis que les fibres 44 peuvent être munies de connecteurs démontables. En fonction du nombre des fibres, il peut etre prévu deux tambours 45, 46, le tambour 45 pour les fibres du câble 42 et le tambour 46 pour les autres. Dans cet exemple, le peigne 47 est disposé entre les tambours. FIG. 3 represents a box 41 into which a cable 42 of n optical fibers arrives. I1 leaves a cable 43 of n-4 fibers while four fibers 44a, 44b, 44c and 44d are stitched on the cable 42 for distribution. The fibers of the cable 43 can for example be connected to those of the cable 42 by non-removable splices while the fibers 44 can be provided with removable connectors. Depending on the number of fibers, two drums 45, 46 may be provided, the drum 45 for the fibers of the cable 42 and the drum 46 for the others. In this example, the comb 47 is arranged between the drums.

La figure 4 représente de façon schématique une grande boite 51 de raccordement de deux gros câbles 52 et 53 avec quatre tambours creux 54 comportant chacun un peigne 55 à l'intérieur. Au lieu d'un gros câble 52 ou 53, il peut y en avoir plusieurs petits. FIG. 4 schematically represents a large box 51 for connecting two large cables 52 and 53 with four hollow drums 54 each comprising a comb 55 inside. Instead of a large cable 52 or 53, there may be several small ones.

De la même façon, on peut réaliser une armoire avec des séries de tambours disposés sur des plateaux paral lèles. I1 peut y avoir plusieurs dizaines de tambours. Les peignes peuvent être au centre des tambours, comme sur les figures 1, 2- et 4, ou à côté comme sur la figure 3. In the same way, a cabinet can be produced with series of drums arranged on parallel trays. There may be several dozen drums. The combs can be in the center of the drums, as in Figures 1, 2- and 4, or sideways as in Figure 3.

Les tambours peuvent avoir un collet 61 de maintien comme le tambour 62 de la figure 7 et dans ce cas, il comporte de préférence des perforations 63 pour le passage des fibres. I1 est aussi possible de prévoir des pattes 70 (figure 3) réparties à la périphérie des tambours pour empêcher les spires de fibres de s'échapper. The drums can have a retaining collar 61 like the drum 62 in FIG. 7 and in this case, it preferably has perforations 63 for the passage of the fibers. It is also possible to provide tabs 70 (FIG. 3) distributed around the periphery of the drums to prevent the turns of fibers from escaping.

Les boîtes ou armoires peuvent être en matière plastique moulée, en fonte ou en tôle, selon les applications et les emplacements de service. Boxes or cabinets can be molded plastic, cast iron or sheet metal, depending on the applications and service locations.

I1 va de soi que les modes de réalisation décrits ne sont que des exemples et qu'il serait possible de les modifier notamment par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour cela du cadre de l'invention.  It goes without saying that the embodiments described are only examples and that it would be possible to modify them in particular by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of the invention.
