Description

丸型コネクタ付きケーブルおよびその製造方法Cable with round connector and its manufacturing method
 本発明は丸型コネクタ付きケーブルおよびその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a cable with a round connector and a method for manufacturing the same.
 従来からイーサネット(登録商標)の汎用コネクタとしてRJ45型コネクタは広く知られている。近年では、耐振動性や防水性といった、産業用途で求められる高い信頼性をカバーできるコネクタとして「丸型コネクタ」が多くの業界で受け入れられるようになっており、当該丸型コネクタによれば、嵌合してねじ込むだけで上記特性を確保することが可能になっている。 Conventionally, the RJ45 type connector has been widely known as a general-purpose connector for Ethernet (registered trademark). In recent years, "round connectors" have come to be accepted in many industries as connectors that can cover the high reliability required for industrial applications such as vibration resistance and waterproofness. It is possible to secure the above characteristics simply by fitting and screwing.

 次に丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Aの製造方法について説明する。 Next, the manufacturing method of the cable 1A with a round connector will be described.
 当該製造方法は大きくは、LANケーブル10とコネクタ部15との接続工程と、樹脂モールド部16の形成工程と、で構成される。
 LANケーブル10とコネクタ部15との接続工程では、はじめに、LANケーブル10を所望の長さで切断し、その切断部において内被層4、第1の遮蔽層5、第2の遮蔽層6および外被層7を皮剥ぎ除去し、対撚線8(絶縁電線12)を露出させる。その後、絶縁電線12の先端部から絶縁体3を皮剥ぎ除去し、導体2にコンタクトを圧着する。その後、対撚線8を、撚り合わせた状態のまま対撚線8の撚りをほぐさずにインナーハウジング17の溝18に嵌合させる。その後、コンタクトを樹脂製インサートに挿通しこれを金属製スリーブに設置し、LANケーブル10とコネクタ部15とを接続する。

 これら工程により、丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Aを製造することができる。
The manufacturing method is largely composed of a connecting step between the LAN cable 10 and the connector portion 15 and a forming step of the resin mold portion 16.
In the process of connecting the LAN cable 10 and the connector portion 15, the LAN cable 10 is first cut to a desired length, and at the cut portion, the inner layer 4, the first shielding layer 5, the second shielding layer 6 and the like are cut. The outer layer 7 is peeled off to expose the anti-twisted wire 8 (insulated wire 12). After that, the insulator 3 is peeled off from the tip of the insulated wire 12, and the contact is crimped to the conductor 2. After that, the anti-twisted wire 8 is fitted into the groove 18 of the inner housing 17 without untwisting the anti-twisted wire 8 in the twisted state. After that, the contact is inserted into a resin insert and installed in a metal sleeve to connect the LAN cable 10 and the connector portion 15.
In the process of forming the resin mold portion 16, the connection portion between the LAN cable 10 and the connector portion 15 (the portion straddling the LAN cable 10 and the connector portion 15 centering on the exposed anti-twisted wire 8) is installed in a certain mold. , Inject the molten resin into the connection site. When the resin is cured, the mold is removed to form the resin mold portion 16.
By these steps, the cable 1A with a round connector can be manufactured.
 以上の本実施形態によれば、LANケーブル10とコネクタ部15との接続部位で、LANケーブル10から露出する対撚線8を、インナーハウジング17の溝18に嵌合させて位置決めしかつ溝18の中でも撚り合わせたままの状態を保持させている。そのため、丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Aの製造工程において溶融樹脂を注入した場合や、製造完了後(製品化後)においても、対撚線8の対間の間隔が一定に保持され、通信ケーブルとしての電気的特性を担保することができる(実施例1参照)。 According to the above embodiment, at the connection portion between the LAN cable 10 and the connector portion 15, the anti-twisted wire 8 exposed from the LAN cable 10 is fitted into the groove 18 of the inner housing 17 and positioned and the groove 18 is formed. Among them, it keeps the twisted state. Therefore, even when the molten resin is injected in the manufacturing process of the cable 1A with a round connector or after the manufacturing is completed (after commercialization), the distance between the pairs of the stranded wires 8 is kept constant, and the cable can be used as a communication cable. The electrical characteristics can be ensured (see Example 1).

 次に丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Bの製造方法について説明する。 Next, the manufacturing method of the cable 1B with a round connector will be described.
 当該製造方法は大きくは、LANケーブル20とコネクタ40との接続工程と、樹脂モールド部60の形成工程と、で構成される。
 LANケーブル20とコネクタ40との接続工程では、はじめに、LANケーブル20に遮蔽筒体66を外挿しておき、LANケーブル20を所望の長さで切断する。その後、当該切断部において内被層4、第1の遮蔽層5、第2の遮蔽層6および外皮層7を皮剥ぎ除去し、対撚線8(絶縁電線12)を露出させる。このとき第2の遮蔽層6を外被層7から露出させるか、または外被層7から露出させその外側に折り返す。その後、絶縁電線12の先端部から絶縁体3を皮剥ぎ除去し、導体2にピンコンタクト22を圧着する。
 その後、LANケーブル20の一方の端部では、LANケーブル20を斜視または断面視して、橙/白橙の対撚線8bを上方に、茶/茶白の対撚線8aを下方にそれぞれ配置させ、その状態において、緑/緑白の対撚線8cを青/青白の対撚線8dの上側で交差させる。LANケーブル20の他方の端部では、対撚線8c、8dを交差させる必要はない。
 その後、対撚線8を、撚り合わせた状態のまま(対撚線8の撚りをほぐさずに)インナーハウジング62の溝64に嵌合させる。その後、ピンコンタクト22をインサート46の貫通孔48に挿通し、そのままインナーハウジング62をインサート46に設置する。その後、インサート46とカップリングナット44とをスリーブ42に内挿および外挿し、LANケーブル20とコネクタ部40とを接続する。
The manufacturing method is largely composed of a process of connecting the LAN cable 20 and the connector 40 and a process of forming the resin mold portion 60.
In the process of connecting the LAN cable 20 and the connector 40, first, the shielding cylinder 66 is externally inserted into the LAN cable 20, and the LAN cable 20 is cut to a desired length. Then, the inner layer 4, the first shielding layer 5, the second shielding layer 6, and the outer skin layer 7 are peeled off and removed at the cut portion to expose the anti-twisted wire 8 (insulated electric wire 12). At this time, the second shielding layer 6 is exposed from the outer layer 7, or is exposed from the outer layer 7 and folded back to the outside. After that, the insulator 3 is peeled off from the tip of the insulated wire 12, and the pin contact 22 is crimped to the conductor 2.
After that, at one end of the LAN cable 20, the orange / white-orange anti-twisted wire 8b is arranged above and the brown / brown-white anti-twisted wire 8a is arranged below, respectively, when the LAN cable 20 is viewed from a perspective or cross-sectional view. In that state, the green / green-white paired stranded wire 8c is crossed on the upper side of the blue / blue-white paired stranded wire 8d. At the other end of the LAN cable 20, it is not necessary to cross the stranded wires 8c and 8d.
After that, the anti-twisted wire 8 is fitted into the groove 64 of the inner housing 62 in a twisted state (without untwisting the anti-twisted wire 8). After that, the pin contact 22 is inserted into the through hole 48 of the insert 46, and the inner housing 62 is installed in the insert 46 as it is. After that, the insert 46 and the coupling nut 44 are inserted and removed from the sleeve 42 to connect the LAN cable 20 and the connector portion 40.
 樹脂モールド部60の形成工程では、遮蔽筒体66をLANケーブル20側からスライド移動させ、露出している対撚線8とインナーハウジング62とを遮蔽筒体66で被覆する。かかる場合に、遮蔽筒体66の一方の端部をスリーブ42に接触させ、遮蔽筒体66の他方の端部を露出させたまたは折り返した第2の遮蔽層6に接触させる。同時にインナーハウジング62の表面を遮蔽筒体66の内面に接触させる。その位置で遮蔽筒体66の両端部を加締めなどおこない、遮蔽筒体66をスリーブ42と第2の遮蔽層6とに固定する。この状態においては、第2の遮蔽層6、遮蔽筒体66、インナーハウジング62およびスリーブ42が互いに電気的に導通する。
 その後、LANケーブル20とコネクタ部40との接続部位(遮蔽筒体66を中心とした部位)を一定の金型に設置し、当該接続部位に対し溶融樹脂を注入する。樹脂が硬化したところで金型を外し、樹脂モールド部60を形成する。
 これら工程により、丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Bを製造することができる。
In the step of forming the resin mold portion 60, the shielding cylinder 66 is slid from the LAN cable 20 side, and the exposed anti-twisted wire 8 and the inner housing 62 are covered with the shielding cylinder 66. In such a case, one end of the shielding cylinder 66 is brought into contact with the sleeve 42, and the other end of the shielding cylinder 66 is brought into contact with the exposed or folded second shielding layer 6. At the same time, the surface of the inner housing 62 is brought into contact with the inner surface of the shielding cylinder 66. At that position, both ends of the shielding cylinder 66 are crimped or the like to fix the shielding cylinder 66 to the sleeve 42 and the second shielding layer 6. In this state, the second shielding layer 6, the shielding cylinder 66, the inner housing 62, and the sleeve 42 are electrically conductive with each other.
After that, the connection portion between the LAN cable 20 and the connector portion 40 (the portion centered on the shielding cylinder 66) is installed in a certain mold, and the molten resin is injected into the connection portion. When the resin is cured, the mold is removed to form the resin mold portion 60.
By these steps, the cable 1B with a round connector can be manufactured.
 以上の本実施形態によれば、第1の実施形態と同様に、LANケーブル20とコネクタ40との接続部位で、LANケーブル20から露出する対撚線8を、インナーハウジング62の溝64に嵌合させて位置決めしかつ溝64の中でも撚り合わせたままの状態を保持させている。そのため、丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Bの製造工程において溶融樹脂を注入した場合や、製造完了後(製品化後)においても、対撚線8の対間の間隔が一定に保持され、通信ケーブルとしての電気的特性を安定させることができる(実施例2、3参照)。 According to the above embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, the anti-twisted wire 8 exposed from the LAN cable 20 is fitted into the groove 64 of the inner housing 62 at the connection portion between the LAN cable 20 and the connector 40. It is aligned and positioned, and is kept in a twisted state even in the groove 64. Therefore, even when the molten resin is injected in the manufacturing process of the cable 1B with a round connector or after the manufacturing is completed (after commercialization), the distance between the pairs of the stranded wires 8 is kept constant, and the cable can be used as a communication cable. The electrical characteristics can be stabilized (see Examples 2 and 3).
 併せて、丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Bの一方の端部では、緑/緑白の対撚線8cを青/青白の対撚線8dの上側で交差させているため、電気的特性(近端通話減衰量Next)を改善することができる(実施例2、3参照)。これは、緑/緑白の対撚線8cと青/青白の対撚線8dとに着目した場合に、対撚線8c、8d同士の撚り方向が対撚線8同士の総撚り方向に一致し(右方向)、各対撚線8c、8d間の間隔や関係が適正に維持されたためと推察される。
 さらにインナーハウジング62の表面には導電塗料が塗布されているため、LANケーブル20の第2の遮蔽層6から遮蔽筒体66を通じてスリーブ42に至る部分のみならず、遮蔽筒体66の内部にも遮蔽効果が及び、各対撚線8間を遮蔽させたまま隔離しうるので、電気的特性(反射減衰量RL)を改善することができる(実施例3参照)。
 緑/緑白の対撚線8cを青/青白の対撚線8dの上側で交差させる技術的要素と、インナーハウジング62に導電性を付与する技術的要素とは、本実施形態のように両方が同時に組み合わされ適用されてもよいし、いずれか一方のみが選択的に適用されてもよい。当該技術的要素は、丸型コネクタ付きケーブル1Bに要求される電気的特性に応じて(近端通話減衰量Nextを改善するのか、または反射減衰量RLを改善するのかに応じて)、両方またはいずれか一方が適用されればよい。
At the same time, at one end of the cable 1B with a round connector, the green / green-white anti-twisted wire 8c is crossed on the upper side of the blue / blue-white anti-twisted wire 8d, so that the electrical characteristics (near-end call). The amount of attenuation Next) can be improved (see Examples 2 and 3). This is because when focusing on the green / green-white anti-twisted wire 8c and the blue / blue-white anti-twisted wire 8d, the twisting direction of the anti-twisted wires 8c and 8d is one in the total twisting direction of the anti-twisted wires 8. However, it is presumed that the spacing and relationship between the stranded wires 8c and 8d were properly maintained (to the right).
Further, since the surface of the inner housing 62 is coated with the conductive paint, not only the portion from the second shielding layer 6 of the LAN cable 20 to the sleeve 42 through the shielding cylinder 66 but also the inside of the shielding cylinder 66. Since the shielding effect is exerted and each of the stranded wires 8 can be isolated while being shielded, the electrical characteristics (reflection attenuation amount RL) can be improved (see Example 3).
Both the technical element of crossing the green / green-white anti-twisted wire 8c on the upper side of the blue / blue-white anti-twisted wire 8d and the technical element of imparting conductivity to the inner housing 62 are as in the present embodiment. May be combined and applied at the same time, or only one of them may be selectively applied. The technical elements are either both or depending on the electrical characteristics required for cable 1B with round connector (depending on whether it improves near-end call attenuation Next or reflection attenuation RL). Either one may be applied.
 なお、図4のインナーハウジング17および図8Aのインナーハウジング62の態様は適宜変更可能である。
 たとえば、図11のインナーハウジング80に変更されてもよいし、図12のインナーハウジング90に変更されてもよい。
 図11のインナーハウジング80も円柱状を呈しており、長さ方向に沿って複数本の貫通孔82が形成されている。インナーハウジング80を適用する場合は、対撚線8の撚りを部分的にほどき対撚線8ごとに絶縁電線12を貫通孔82に挿通し位置決めすればよい。
 図12のインナーハウジング90もほぼ円柱状を呈しており、長さ方向に沿って複数枚のフィン92が形成されている。インナーハウジング90を適用する場合は、対撚線8の撚りを部分的にほどき絶縁電線12を1本ずつフィン92間に嵌合し位置決めすればよい。
 図11のインナーハウジング80に変更される場合も、図12のインナーハウジング90に変更される場合も、対撚線8の撚りは部分的にほどかれるものの、絶縁電線12は一定位置に固定され位置決めされる(絶縁電線12の線間の配置や間隔などが一定に保持される)ため、通信ケーブルとしての電気的特性は担保される。
The modes of the inner housing 17 of FIG. 4 and the inner housing 62 of FIG. 8A can be changed as appropriate.
For example, it may be changed to the inner housing 80 of FIG. 11 or may be changed to the inner housing 90 of FIG.
The inner housing 80 of FIG. 11 also has a columnar shape, and a plurality of through holes 82 are formed along the length direction. When the inner housing 80 is applied, the twist of the anti-twisted wire 8 may be partially untwisted, and the insulated wire 12 may be inserted into the through hole 82 for each of the anti-twisted wires 8 for positioning.
The inner housing 90 of FIG. 12 also has a substantially columnar shape, and a plurality of fins 92 are formed along the length direction. When the inner housing 90 is applied, the twist of the anti-twisted wire 8 may be partially untwisted, and the insulated wires 12 may be fitted and positioned between the fins 92 one by one.
In both cases of changing to the inner housing 80 of FIG. 11 and changing to the inner housing 90 of FIG. 12, the insulated wire 12 is fixed and positioned at a fixed position, although the twist of the anti-twisted wire 8 is partially unwound. (The arrangement and spacing between the insulated wires 12 are kept constant), so that the electrical characteristics of the communication cable are ensured.

(3)まとめ
 表2に示すとおり、サンプル20に対しサンプル21-24では近端通話減衰量Nextおよび反射減衰量RLが顕著に改善した。これはインナーハウジングを設置し対撚線を位置決めしたことによる。
 サンプル21、22に対しサンプル23、24では特に、近端通話減衰量Nextが顕著に改善した。これは、緑/緑白の対撚線と青/青白の対撚線との撚り方向が4対の対撚線同士の総撚り方向に一致し(右方向)、緑/緑白の対撚線と青/青白の対撚線との間の間隔や関係が適正に維持されたためと推察される。
