Abstract
An electrically-insulating liner tube (3) is inserted into a repeater housing (seacase) (2) with interference fit by a method involving the use of a vacuum applied to the inside of an oversize liner tube whereby to reduce the outside diameter thereof of a value at which it may simply be slid into the housing. Subsequent to the insertion in the housing the vacuum is removed and the liner tube's outside diameter permitted to increase. The liner tube (11) is preferably drawn down by the vacuum onto an apertured mandrel tube (7-Fig. 2, 14-Fig. 3) and inserted into the housing together with the mandrel tube, which is removed allowing removal of the vacuum. Such an inserted liner tube is required for submarine optical repeaters (regenerators) (1) where the electronic components must be electrically insulated from the repeater housing (seacase) but with a continuous heat conduction path therebetween to ensure regenerator reliability. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION
Repeater housing
This invention relates to a repeater housing and in particular to repeater housings for submarine optical communications cables and to their manufacture.
Submarine cable repeater housings (seacases) are manufactured of high strength metals in order to withstand sea bottom pressure, cable laying and recovery. High voltages are employed to power the electronic circuits within the repeater and it is necessary to electrically insulate these electronic circuits from the seacase which is at sea ground potential.
The thermal management of optical cable repeaters (regenerators) requires a continuous solid conduction path from the electronic regenerator components to the environment external to the repeater seacase. The optical cable regenerator components generate more heat than those for analogue cables and in order to ensure long term reliability of the repeaters for optical cables the heat transfer must be carefully managed. It is not sufficient to rely on convection.
In US patent specification 4528615 there is described a repeater housing and circuit mounting structure which addresses this problem. In order to electrically isolate the electronics from the seacase a layer of an electrical insulator is applied to the inside surface of the seacase. A suitable insulator being a micafilled epoxy which is applied as a paste uniformally to the inside surface of the seacase to a thickness suitable to withstand the expected high voltage and to maximise heat transfer through it. The electronic components are mounted on structures designed as heat sinks and which will act as heat conduits to the layer of insulation. When inserted in the seacase contoured surfaces of the mounting structures fit snugly against the layer of insulation whereby to facilitate heat transfer from the components to the seacase.
It has previously been proposed to employ seacase liners comprising thin-walled extruded polyethylene tubes for electrical insulation purposes in analogue repeaters. However these are only a loose fit within the seacase and will
not provide the necessary continuous solid
heat conduction path from the regenerator components of optical cable repeaters to the
seacase.
The present invention has as an object to
provide an electrical insulation layer within a
seacase by an alternative method to that dis
closed in US 4528615 but which also ensures the requisite solid heat conduction path is pro
vided.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of insert
ing a liner into a housing comprising the steps
of reducing the outside dimensions of the liner by applying a vacuum to the interior thereof, inserting the reduced outside dimensions liner into said housing, and removing the vacuum whereby to allow the outside dimensions of the liner tube to increase.
According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided apparatus for use in inserting a liner into a housing comprising means for reducing the outside dimensions of the liner, by applying a vacuum to the interior of the liner, and for maintaining the reduced outside dimensions of the liner tube until the liner has been inserted in the housing.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
Fig. 1 shows schematically a view of a seacase with an insulating liner and a structure therein on which the regenerator electronic components are mounted and which is in suitable thermal contact with the liner for use as an optical repeater;
Fig. 2 shows schematically and partially in cross-section one arrangement for vacuum shrinking a liner tube onto a mandrel, and
Fig. 3 shows schematically and partially in cross-section an alternative arrangement for vacuum shrinking a liner tube onto a mandrel.
Referring firstly to Fig. 1, there is indicated schematically a repeater (regenerator) 1 comprising a metallic seacase 2, an electricallyinsulating liner 3 and four elements 4 comprising a structure on which the regenerator electronic components (not shown) are mounted.
These four elements 4 may be of such dimensions as to be inserted looseiy into the lined seacase and then caused to adopt the required thermal contact position relative to the liner 3 by urging them radially outwards by, for example, the insertion of a central member 5. Alternatively the elements may be spring loaded relative to one another in order to achieve the required thermal contact position.
There are many possibilities for the electronic component mounting structure, however, since this does not form part of the present invention it will not be discussed in greater detail.
The repeater will also be provided with glanding arrangements etc (not shown) at its ends for the entry of the cable ends thereto.
The present invention is concerned with providing an electrically insulating liner within a seacase in such a manner that optimum thermal contact between electronic elements within the liner and the seacase itself can be achieved.
As previously mentioned it is known to use a thin walled plastics, for example polyethylene tube, as an electrically insulating liner,
however, these were previously only a loose fit within the seacase. It will be appreciated
that whilst it is easy to insert an undersize
liner tube into a seacase merely by sliding it
in, it is not so easy to insert into a seacase a
liner tube of suitable dimensions to achieve good thermal contact, since for that purpose the outer diameter of the liner tube should be at least equal to the internal diameter of the seacase, and preferably there should be a diametric interference fit therebetween.
The method of inserting such a liner tube into a seacase in order to obtain an interference fit proposed by the method of the present invention is based on temporarily shrinking an oversize liner tube onto a mandrel of suitable dimensions, inserting the mandrel with the shrunk liner tube thereon into the seacase, allowing the liner tube to regain its original dimensions whereby it adopts an interference fit with the seacase and removing the mandrel. The mandrel is a tube with apertures in its wall and the liner tube is shrunk onto the mandrel by evacuating the tube, suitable seals being provided at the ends of the liner tube to enable the shrinking to be achieved.
One possible arrangement for vacuum shrinking a liner tube onto a mandrel is shown in Fig. 2. A mandrel 6 comprising a tube 7 with apertures 8 is completely closed at one end by an end plate 9 whereas the other end (not shown) is suitable for connecting to a vacuum pump, for example, for evacuation purposes. Adjacent the end of the tube 7 is an annular seal member 10, for example of closed cell foam rubber, which will provide a working seal when the tube is evacuated and a seacase liner 11 has been shrunk onto the mandrel tube 7.In order to provide an initial vacuum seal, that is in order that when the vacuum is first applied to the mandrel it can be effective to begin to pull the liner tube down onto the tube, a rubber boot 12 is provided into which the mandrel and seacase liner are inserted until there is sealing contact therebetween sufficient for the vacuum to have the desired effect on the seacase liner tube. As will be appreciated a seal member
10 and a rubber boot 12 will be required at both ends of the tube 7.
Another possible arrangement for vacuum shrinking a liner tube onto a mandrel is shown in Fig. 3. In this case the mandrel 13 is also an apertured tube 14 closed at one end by an end plate 15 and provided with a suitable arrangement at the other end for connection to a vacuum pump (not shown). In order to provide an initial seal arfild a working seal a rubber tube ring seal 16 is disposed at the end of the mandrel 13 and the end of a seacase liner
17. An internally tapered element 18 is employed to hold the seal 16 and liner 17 together for the initial vacuum seal and in use of the arrangement will be disposed seated in the seal 16 rather than spaced apart therefrom as indicated in the drawing. As will be appreciated a similar sealing arrangement is
provided adjacent the other end of the mandrel 13.
Both of the arrangements of Figs. 2 and 3 are employed in the same basic manner, that is, with the initial vacuum seals provided by suitable contact between the various elements, a vacuum is applied to the interior of the mandrel tube and the liner is pulled down onto the mandrel. With the vacuum maintained the rubber boots, as in the Fig. 2 arrangement, or the elements 18, as in the Fig. 3 arrangement, are removed and the liner and mandrel inserted into the appropriate position in a seacase, the vacuum is removed and the liner then expands into engagement, with an interference, with the internal wall of the seacase.
The above-described methods of fitting a liner tube into a seacase thus may be considered as resulting from causing the temporary reduction of the diameter of the liner by the elastic strain due to the hoopstress in the liner caused by evacuation of the tube of the mandrel. Since the liner tube is initially oversize a ridge will tend to form in the liner tube parallel to the axis of the mandrel when the latter is evacuated but such a ridge will either disappear with time and is temperature dependent or can be eased out by kneading. The modulus of elasticity of the liner tube material varies with temperature and in some situations the vacuum pull-down of the liner tube may be advantageously carried out at temperatures higher than room temperature to reduce the incidence or magnitude of such buckling ridges. A factor affecting buckling is the material of the mandrel and in particular the coefficient of friction of the mandrel material. To compensate for the effect of friction the modulus of elasticity needs to be reduced, and this is achieved by the aforementioned heating. Alternatively the mandrel may be coated with a low coefficient of friction material e.g.
PTFE in which case no heating is necessary.
