Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a conduit pipe for a telecommunication cable; and, more particularly, to a conduit pipe which is divided longitudinally into a plurality of divided bodies for easy carriage and installation.
- Conventionally a telecommunication cable is installed by taking following steps: forming manholes with a predetermined distance, burying an exterior pipe which is to function as a cable tunnel, installing a plurality of conduit pipes in the exterior pipe and arranging telecommunication cables within the conduit pipes.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of a cable tunnel built by using a conventional method and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the cable tunnel with conventional conduit pipes installed therein. As shown in FIG. 1,
manholes exterior pipe 2 for building the cable tunnel is buried between themanholes conduit pipes 3 are installed within theexterior pipe 2. As illustrated in FIG. 2, atelecommunication cable 4 is laid within the conduit pipe. The exterior pipe generally has a diameter big enough to accommodate someadditional conduit pipes 3 in case an increase of telecommunication cables is needed later on. - Several types of PVC pipe such as foam conduit pipe have been utilized to form the
conduit pipe 3. The conduit pipe is formed by connecting a plurality of such PVC pipes whose lengths are approximately 6 m. However, since the conduit pipes having a length of 6 m cannot be put into the cable tunnel through an opening of a manhole, the entire numbers of conduit pipes that can be accommodated within the cable tunnel must be installed all together at the same time when the cable tunnel is built. Further, since the conduit pipes occupy a lot of space, it is difficult to carry a great number of pipes at a time. Still further, connection parts of theconduit pipe 3 have larger diameter than any other part thereof, thereby reducing the number of conduit pipes to be installed within the cable tunnel. As a result, the number ofcommunication cables 4 that can be arranged within theconduit pipes 3 is decreased as well. - In the case of using a PE pipe instead of a PVC pipe as a conduit pipe, comparatively larger number of conduit pipes may be installed in a cable tunnel because the PE pipe has no connection part. However, the PE pipe generally has a diameter of 100 mm, and thus it is difficult to carry the PE pipes because the diameter of a bobbin becomes excessively enlarged when the PE pipes are wound.
- It is, therefore, the object of the present invention to provide a conduit pipe offering an effective use of an inner space of a cable tunnel. The conduit pipe is made of soft materials and longitudinally divided into a plurality of divided bodies which are kept disconnected at the time of conveyance and then assembled at the time of installation.
- In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a conduit pipe a plurality of which are installed within a cable tunnel and within which telecommunication cables are built. The conduit pipe comprises a plurality of divided bodies to be connected to form a single conduit pipe, wherein each divided body is equipped at one longitudinal side with retaining parts and at the other longitudinal side with protruded parts.
- The above and other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of a preferred embodiment given with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing showing a cable tunnel built by using a conventional method;
- FIG. 2 provides a cross-sectional view of conventional conduit pipes installed within a cable tunnel;
- FIG. 3 sets forth a perspective view of a conduit pipe in accordance with the present invention;
- FIG. 4 describes an axial cross-sectional view of the conduit pipe in FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 depicts an enlarged view of part B in FIG. 4 showing a disengaged state thereof; and
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the conduit pipes installed within a cable tunnel in accordance with the present invention.
- The followings are descriptions of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a conduit pipe in accordance with the present invention and FIG. 4 represents an axial cross section of the conduit pipe of FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of part B in Fig.4 and offers a disengaged state thereof. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of conduit pipes of the present invention installed within a cable tunnel.
- In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a
conduit pipe 20 comprises a plurality of dividedbodies 22 that are made by dividing theconduit pipe 20 longitudinally. Thedivided bodies 22 have preferably the same length as a standard distance between manholes, e.g. 246 m. As shown in FIG. 3, theconduit pipe 20 is spilt into three dividedbodies 22 which are angularly symmetrical to each other. Each dividedbody 22 has a retainingpart 30 along one longitudinal side and aprotruded part 40 along the other longitudinal side. Theprotruded part 40 is equipped with a saw-toothed protrusion 42, and the retainingpart 30 is equipped with a saw-toothed groove 32 which engages with the saw-toothed protrusion 42 formed on theprotruded part 40 of another divided bodies of theconduit pipe 20. - By configuring the conduit pipe as cited above, when a plurality of conduit pipes are arranged, connection parts, which are formed by engaging the protruded part of one divided body with the retaining part of another divided body and projected on the surface of conduit pipes, are arranged such that they occupy empty spaces between conduit pipes, thereby minimizing space occupied by the connection parts. The number of divided bodies of a conduit pipe may be varied depending on the materials used for manufacturing the divided bodies and the time required for installation thereof. Divided bodies may be angularly unsymmetrical to each other.
- In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a conduit pipe having a circular cross section is formed when three divided
bodies 22 are connected. For establishing firm connection, it is preferable to construct connection parts of the dividedbodies 22 by the above-described method. However, any configuration of the connection parts may be adopted if it can minimize the connection parts on the surfaces of the conduit pipes. - The
divided bodies 22 are preferably made of polyethylene pipe. When soft materials are applied for constructing the conduit pipe, it becomes possible to wind the conduit pipe on a bobbin, thereby reducing the space needed for storage, which also makes it easier to install any additional conduit pipes within the exterior pipe even after the installation of an exterior pipe 10 is already completed. - A method for installing a conduit pipe of the present invention comprises following steps: the divided
bodies 22 of theconduit pipe 20 are wound around a bobbin to be carried. At an installation site, thedivided bodies 22 are unwound from the bobbin and connected to each other. The connection process can begin by fitting aprotruded part 40 of a dividedbody 22 into a retaining part of another dividedbody 22 and making a saw-toothed protrusion 42 engage with a saw-toothed groove 32. Following these steps, three dividedbodies 22 are jointed and aconduit pipe 20 having a circular cross section is formed. After the connection is established, theconduit pipe 20 is put into the exterior pipe 10 to be installed therein. Since theconduit pipe 20 is made of very soft materials, when the addition of theconduit pipe 20 is required even after the installation of the cable tunnel is completed, it is possible to assemble theconduit pipe 20 first and then insert it through the mouth ofmanholes - In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, connection parts of the
conduit pipe 20 are arranged such that they occupy empty spaces between conduit pipes. Thus, the space occupied by connection parts of the conduit pipe is reduced, thereby enabling more conduit pipes to be installed within the exterior pipe 10 functioning as a cable tunnel. Further, since theconduit pipe 20 can be wound around a bobbin having a small diameter, theconduit pipe 20 can be easily carried and also doesn't need much space for storage. Accordingly, the costs involving storage and carriage can be lowered. Besides, all theconduit pipes 20 that can be accommodated within a cable tunnel need not be installed all at once when the cable tunnel is constructed. Any conduit pipe can be installed individually when additional installation is required, thus resulting in a cost-cut with regard to materials and construction. - While the present invention has been described with respect to the particular embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
