Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cable with a cable sheath and with a arranged on the cable sheath continuous length marking.
  • DE 199 39 638 A1 discloses a method for prefabricating a cable, in which a cable held ready on a cable reel is unrolled and cut to length as required, the cut section being cut directly after or after cutting to length Length specification is provided.
  • the current length specification makes it easier to find an error location determined on the principle of a reflection measurement, if the cable is laid or installed in a cable track.
  • an unambiguous cable marking such as a bar code or in plain text, is attached to an easily accessible location after the later installation, which may in particular contain information about the starting and destination point of the cable at the location of the cable installation as well as further project-specific information and identification features.
  • the described assembly of the cable is relatively time consuming ig.
  • the subsequent attachment of the markings to the individual cable pieces on the construction site is impractical, assuming that an average of eight markings per cable piece are to be attached, for which approx Minutes of time are to be estimated. The total time required would therefore be 14,000 hours.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a way to trace and identify cables in a cable installation, which avoids the disadvantages mentioned.
  • an arbitrarily selected piece of cable should be identifiable in the simplest possible way.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that previously common in plant and power plant construction concepts, according to which cable numbers are assigned in the planning, which are then transferred during the cable by means of labeling, gluing etc. on the respective piece of cable, or what in part Cables are laid with different jacket color, are relatively time consuming and costly and should therefore be avoided.
  • a universally usable marking of the cables should already be done at the factory.
  • the cable is provided on the one hand with a running length identification or length specification on or on the cable sheath.
  • a clear cable marking is provided, not only at a single point of the cable sheath, but in the manner of a spatial repetition at a plurality of locations, preferably in short, regular intervals.
  • the respective cable marking is such that it uniquely identifies the cable in a supply of identical or similar cables (unique identifier).
  • a cable store may comprise a plurality of cable drums, on each of which - within this ensemble - uniquely marked cable of comparatively large length rolled up is kept ready for laying.
  • the various cables are cut to length according to the installation specifications, ie divided into separate sections.
  • the respective cable marking and / or the respective length specification is machine-readable.
  • the respective cable identifier and / or the length specification for this purpose can be configured as a barcode or comprise such a barcode as a component. It can all known types of Barcodes and all possible coding techniques for the information contained therein are used, which can advantageously be detected and evaluated via a commercially available barcode reader (scanner).
  • the unique within the cable supply cable identification may include next to a serial number more cable-specific data, eg. For example, in terms of cable diameter, the material, the electrical conductivity, the maximum permissible amperage, etc.
  • the cable marking may contain information on the manufacturer in a suitably coded form, such as the manufacturer name, the date of manufacture, the delivery batch, etc.
  • the respective cable marking and / or length indication can be applied in a variety of ways to the cable or be introduced into the cable sheath, in particular by printing the cable sheath.
  • the cable itself may be, for example, an electrical installation cable (power cable) or a data transmission cable or other cable or conduit and may comprise any number of insulated wires, wires, fibers or stranded conductors.
  • the cable sheath is expediently made of an electrically insulating material, in particular of a plastic, preferably an elastic and flexible plastic.
  • the cable may also be a so-called fiber-optic cable (optical waveguide) and comprise a jacket made of a vitreous material and optionally an overlying protective coating.
  • the cable marking can be incorporated or incorporated into the optically transparent jacket, similar to that described in US 2008/0199134 A1.
  • the cable markings and / or the lengths are arranged at regular intervals on the cable sheath.
  • the distance between two consecutive cable markings and / or the distance between two consecutive length indications is about 10 cm to 150 cm, preferably about 20 cm.
  • the respective Cable identification and / or the respective length indication advantageously simple, multiple or circumferential formed on the cable circumference.
  • a one-dimensional bar code may be oriented transversely or longitudinally to the longitudinal axis of the cable.
  • the length specification is integrated in each case in the cable marking.
  • a barcode may be provided which contains an information component for cable identification (Unique Identifier, as described above) which remains constant over the entire cable and an information component which varies from location to location and which corresponds to a continuous length specification. The respective barcode is thereby detected as a whole or as a unit and read out.
  • a cable identifier (unique identifier) which can be detected separately from the length mark or length is provided.
  • the cable marking can also be arranged, for example, approximately in the middle between two lengths.
  • the cable identification for example in the form of a bar code, is expediently identical across the entire cable, in particular as regards information content, type of coding and appearance.
  • the cable prepared in this way is advantageously rolled up on a cable reel or cable reel and, in this state, is delivered to the personnel involved in the laying of the cable.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that can be omitted by the already ex-factory marking or marking a cable both with a continuous length specification as well as over the entire cable length constantly repeating unique identification mark all other, subsequently attached project-specific identifications ,
  • the installation times are shortened, depending on the size of the cable installation even to a very considerable extent.
  • the risk of mis-marks and mix-ups associated with subsequent manual marking is minimized.
  • the cable data can be automatically read and identified with a scanner at each accessible point on the cable path, which does not have to be a priori known or fixed.
  • the markings at the beginning or at the end of a cable path are sufficient to assign each mark on the cable route back to the cable.
  • the assignment of the unique cable marking to the cable drum, from which the respective cable piece was unrolled and cut to length during laying, in conjunction with the continuous length specification allows better monitoring of the cable length and the laid length. In the case of subsequently found defects of a delivery lot, all affected cables can be tracked or identified and the appropriate remedial measures can be initiated.

En particulier, il convient de permettre une pose rapide sur un chantier de câbles (4) livrés depuis l'usine. Par ailleurs, un segment de câble quelconque extrait d'une installation doit pouvoir être identifié de manière aussi simple que possible. Selon l'invention, il est prévu dans ce but un câble (4) doté d'une gaine de câble (8), avec un marquage (10) de la longueur appliqué régulièrement sur la gaine de câble (8) et avec une pluralité d'identifications de câble (16) qui sont disposées, dans la direction longitudinale du câble (4), à des distances prédéterminées sur la gaine du câble (8).
