Definitions
- the invention relates to a multiple cable with multiple wires.
- Multiple cables of this type are known, particularly in the field of computer technology. For example, they are used as ribbon cables for internal bus connections between CD or hard drives and an associated IDE or SCSI controller.
- Various miniature plug-in connections mostly in the form of wide connector strips, can be used as plug-in connections.
- the cores can be connected to one another in a dimensionally stable manner, in particular in parallel, lying flat next to one another in the manner of a ribbon cable.
- the end regions are designed as flat regions.
- the wires can be at least partially detached from one another, this advantageously extending over the entire separation area. Due to the at least partial removal of the connection of the parallel wires, the multiple cable can be bent much more easily, in particular arbitrarily, in any direction in a separation area, similar to any bundle of non-connected wires.
- the cores can have at least one, in particular several, metal strands, which are encased with plastic insulation. All metal strands are advantageously covered in the manner of a ribbon cable via the plastic insulation in the flat areas and connected to one another in one piece.
- the plastic insulation can in particular consist of a layer, for example, in a conventional manufacturing process, can be produced in a single step by covering the metal strands and simultaneously connecting the wires.
- a multiple cable can have a large number of cores, in particular an even number, preferably at least 25, an upper limit of 68 cores being considered sufficient for most areas of application. At least 34 wires are particularly preferably present.
- the wires preferably run in a separation area in strands of a maximum of 3 connected wires, in particular in pairs with 2 connected wires each. This is advantageous if a continuous ribbon cable is subsequently separated in the separation area in order to limit the number of cuts. It is particularly preferred for at least some of the wires, in particular all wires, to run individually in the at least one separation region and detached from the other wires. This way there is maximum flexibility of the multiple cable in the separation area by a maximum mobility of the individual wires against each other.
- the manageability of the multiple cable can be increased if individual wires are combined or bundle-shaped in the separation areas, in particular all wires are loose in a bundle, for example in the manner of a round multi-core cable.
- the multiple cable advantageously has, at least in part, a supporting and / or connecting sheathing which combines the wires into the bundle.
- An envelope can advantageously be tubular, for example as a split spiral tube or textile or elastic tube, wherein it is preferably essentially leak-proof.
- a sheath can provide additional protection for the cores against mechanical effects and / or additional electrical insulation. Envelopes made of flexible plastic, for example PVC, are preferred.
- a further embodiment of a sheath can have shielding, in particular shielding the cores with regard to electromagnetic stray fields.
- shielding advantageously contains metal, for example in the form of a
- a covering with shielding preferably has electrical insulation on at least one surface, in particular on the outside, in order to avoid short circuits or undesired contacts due to the metallic shielding.
- At least one further flat area is preferably formed between the end areas or the flat areas forming them, in particular a plurality of flat areas.
- a separation area is provided between each two flat areas, in which the wires in the manner described above detached from one another and possibly enveloped.
- connecting means for connecting at least two electrical connections via the multiple cable can be provided.
- the connecting means are preferably plug connections, in particular plug couplings.
- a multiple cable is looped through, which means that several connecting means can be provided in its course, which do not have to interrupt the cable or have to be electrically contacted.
- a multiple cable described above is suitable for a variety of applications. Applications in the field of the interconnection technology of computers or computer components are preferred.
- the wires can be thin, preferably a conductor cross section in the area between
- the outside diameter of individual wires which can correspond in particular to the height of the multiple cable in the flat areas, can be in the range between 0.3 mm and 2 mm, in particular approximately 0.8 mm.
- the flat areas or the end areas of the multiple cable can extend over a length of at least 5 mm, wherein they are preferably a maximum of 20 mm long. In particular, they can be approximately 10 mm long. This is considered sufficient to keep the flat area flat as well as parallel the wires in its area in the event of mechanical stress or action on the multiple cable or the individual wires.
- plug-in connections with a simultaneous contacting of the wires during assembly are advantageously used as the connecting means.
- This type of connector is used under the designations "CENTRONICS” or “MINICENTRONICS”.
- the two connector halves can be routed over a flat area with parallel wires and connected to each other.
- Metal tabs connected to plug contacts cut through the wire insulation and contact the metal strands. This connection technology does not require extensive stripping of the individual wires.
- a multiple cable has plug connections in flat areas and is a connecting cable for data transmission, in particular in computer systems. It is preferably a bus cable originating from at least one data carrier drive, which is connected in particular to at least one further data carrier drive and / or a central processing unit.
- a multiple cable can be produced either by manufacturing individual wires and then connecting them to the flat areas described above. Connection options can be gluing the individual wires with additional adhesive or by melting the individual wire insulation and then merging them. The wires are only connected to each other in the predetermined flat areas. Alternative connection options can have mechanical connection means, for example clips, clips or the like. A covering over the separation areas is advantageously slipped on after the individual wires have been joined together.
- Another manufacturing method is based on the known multi-core ribbon cables. These are separated in the predetermined separation areas, for example by cutting or separating or loosening the narrow connecting webs between the wires. Cutting can be done by knife blades, preferably as a multiple knife WO 00/57430 _ 6 _ PCT / EPOO / 02390
- roller knives or disk knives can preferably be used, likewise in the form of several roller knives next to one another.
- Another option is punching with multiple blades.
- Guides can be provided to cut exactly between two wires, so that the insulation is never cut down to the metal strands.
- FIG. 1 An enlarged detail view of a
- FIG. 2 shows a multiple cable with several separation areas and several flat areas in which plug-in couplings are arranged.
- FIG. 1 shows a multiple cable 11, which consists of a plurality of wires 12.
- the cores 12 are connected to one another in a flat region 14 in a flat and parallel single-layer manner lying next to one another in the manner of a ribbon cable, preferably via the cast plastic insulation of the cores.
- a plug coupling 16 is guided over the ends of the wires 12 or the end of the flat region 14 and is conductively connected to the wires.
- the wires 12 are separated from one another, in FIG. 1 all wires are separated or separated from one another.
- the wide band of the wires 12 is brought together in the separation area 18 to form a bundle with an approximately circular cross section.
- a covering 19 made of a textile tube is guided over the separating area 18.
- the entry of the wires 12 into the sheath 19 is reinforced by a sleeve 20 in order to prevent the sheath 19 from expanding or tearing open.
- the sleeve 20 can, for example, consist of a plastic tube, in particular a shrink tube.
- Fig. 2 shows a formed from a multiple cable 11
- Connection cable 22 which consists of a plurality of flat areas 14 and intermediate separating areas 18.
- the flat areas 14 and the separation areas 18 are only shown schematically in FIG. 2, details can be found in FIG. 1 become.
- a larger proportion of the separating regions 18, in a manner similar to that in FIG. 1, is each provided with a covering 19.
- connection cable 22 can be used as a bus cable in a personal computer or larger computers, for example between data carrier drives and the bus controller.
- the multiple cable 11 can be flexibly bent or guided within wide limits, since individual wires can be moved or moved relative to one another.
- the sheath 19 should not sit too tightly on the veins 12 in order not to impair the mobility.
- plug connections are so-called SUBD, HPSUBD or HD plug connections. It should be noted here that the wires are usually stripped and the exposed metal strands must be soldered to metal contacts.
