No. 612,588
Clams priority, application Switzerland, Feb. 2, 1966, 1,448/ 66 U.S. Cl. 339-14 3 Claims Int. Cl. HOlr 3/06, 13/52, 17/18 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Electrical connecting device for high tension wire wherein the outer conductive parts and the insulating parts and one of the members of the device extend beyond the inner conductive parts of the same section of the device and the external conductive and insulating part-s of each section of the device have about the same length so that when the male and female parts are united, contact is established between the outer conductive parts while the inner conductive parts are still spaced one from the other, the distance at this moment between the inner con ductive parts being determined in proportion to the nominal voltage of the central conductor to be linked.
Already known are various coaxial connecting devices for low voltage. The plugs of these devices comprise generally an outer conductive part in the shape of a socket and an inner part consisting of a cylindrical rod engaging in a corresponding spindle. These inner and outer parts of the plug have approximately the same length. Such a plug is described for example in Swiss Patent No. 340,5 37. Such plugs are however unsuited for use in a high Voltage installation for the arc appearing between the central conductors during the plugging or the removal of the plug extends to the outer part from the plug thus endangering the user.
The present invention comprises an electrical connection device for high tension cable comprising at least one male and at least one female part comprising in each an inner conductive part for connecting the central conductor under tension and an external conductive part able to slide one in the other, the exteral part of the female part being adapted for linkage to the ground, each of the insulating parts being slidable one in the other, these insulatng parts being located between the inner and outer conductive parts and having approxmately the same length as the outer conductive parts, the device being characterised by the fact that the outer conductive parts and the insulating part of one of the parts of the device extends beyond the conductive inner -part of the same part of the device and the outer conductive and insulating parts of each part of the device have approximately the same length, the whole so that when the male and female parts are connected, contact is established between the outer conductive parts while the inner conductive parts are still spaced one from the other, the distance at this moment between the inner conductive parts being determined in proportion to the nominal voltage of the central conductor to be connected.
The accompa-nying drawings represents by way of example one embodiment of the invention, wherein:
FIGURE la shows the right hand side portion of the device and FIGURE lb its left hand side.
The connecting device 'shown is intended for linking a coaxial cable constituted by a central conductor 22 of twisted wire and a braided peripheral conductor 23 insulated by an insulated sheath 24, to an installation operating under high voltage.
The male part of the device is shown on the right in the drawing, while the female part is on the left. The male part comprises essentially a metallic conducting sleeve 1, a central hollow metallic rod 8, an insulated sleeve 6 made of the trademark material Teflon, rnounted inside sleeve 1 itself prolonged by a part 4 carrying a locking device consisting of a knurled cylinder 2 slidable on tongue shaped spring 3 the free end of which 3a forms a lock traversing an opening made in cylinder 2 to engage in a groove 1261 of a sleeve 12 integral with the female part. Such a looking device is described in detail in Swiss Patent No. 340,S37. When the two parts of the device are coupled, lock 3a engages in groove 12a to lock the device. The axial position of the openings is determined in such a way that in the absence of all external strain, tongues 3 automatically u-rge cylinder 2 towards the centre of the device. When cylinder 2 is pulled back, the same compresses resilient tongues 3, the extremities of which 3a disengage from groove 12a.
Cable 10 is Secured by welding to the male part by its central conductor 22 to hollow rod 8. The insulating sheath 24 fits in the Teflon" sleeve 6. The outer conductor 23 taken off along a certain length, then folded and clamped between a metal collet 11 anchored in insulated sleeve 6 and a band 25 mounted on the external insulating sheath 26 of cable 10 and conductor 23. The collet has a conical bore provided with elastic grooves 11a. The band is clamped axially by means of a nut (not shown).
A space is left between sleeves 1 and 6 between which is inserted a Tefion" sleeve 16 of the female part of the device. This part comprises furtherrnore an outer sleeve extending sleeve 12 and in which slides the sleeve 1 of the male part.
The female part of the device which is intended to be rnounted on an installation panel by means of a nut 15 comprises a conductive broach '19 forming the female member of the contact and which is embedded in the bottom of the Teflon sleeve 16 and is 'surrounded at one end by an insulating ring 20. Sleeve 16 is removably secured in the threaded sleeve 12 by means of a ring 21 seated in sleeve 16 and a nut 14. The cowpling of the two parts of the device is made by introducing the front part of sleeve 1 in sleeve 12. During this operation the extremity of rod 8 penetrates in broach 19.
An annular spring 13 lodged in a groove of sleeve 12 assures a good contact between the outer parts as Well as the necessary rubbing between these parts.
The characteristic of this device permitting its use in high voltage installations consists essentially in the fact that the insulating sleeve 16 of the female part extends well beyond the broach 19 and that the insulated sleeve 6 and the conductive sleeve 1 of the male part have approximately the same length as sleeve 16 of the female part, these external insulated and conductive parts of the male and female parts of the device sliding one in the other for a distance in excess of 70 mm. Thus, during the assembly o-r the separation of the two parts, while the installation is under tension, the external metallic part of the device remains in contact with the ground until the moment when the broach 19 and the rod 8 are at a sufficient distance one from the other that no arc can be struck between these two .pieces. Thus this device has all the safety required for its handling. A device of 18 mm. of diameter can be used for a voltage of 30 kilovolts but can withstand substantially higher voltages. It is evident that the male and the female parts can be interchanged, that is to say that the broach 19 can be on the right on the drawing while the rod 8 would be on the left.
