With reference to Fig. 1, said tandem joint is formed between two substantially the same polymer cables 2,4.Prune corresponding external jacket 6,8, shielding conductor 10,12, screen (semiconductive or conduction) 14,16, main insulating layer 18,20 and lead 22,24 successively in the mode of standard, shielding conductor 10,12 is folded on the corresponding sheath 6,8 so that carry out subsequently cross-over connection in the (not shown) that interconnects at above-mentioned joint two ends, thereby keeps the continuity of ground connection.Although can use the connector of any other suitable type, used a crimp connector to implement the electrical connection of lead 22,24.With comprising that two are generally the semi-cylindrical parts of shell 28,30 of splitting to the control of formed lead connection carrying out electric stress, said split that shell is made of the polymeric material of conduction and the housing 26 between above-mentioned two cables around be incorporated into together, and the above-mentioned shell of splitting longitudinally extends a bit of distance on cable insulation 18,20.Each is split shell 28,30 and all has three inside flanges 32, they and crimping connector 26 done to electrically contact, thereby guaranteed describedly to split shell 28,30 and be encapsulated in this and split the interior conductive component of shell and have identical current potential that the current potential of above-mentioned cable conductor is promptly arranged.Therefore, split shell 28,30 and can around crimp 26 and the lead that exposes 22,24, provide the faraday cell effect.Should be noted that splitting shell 28,30 is not sealed on the cable insulation 18,20.

Eliminate awl 34,36 for corresponding cable 2,4 provides stress, they are positioned to and can provide conical surface in common mode, and this surface deviates from the cutting end of corresponding shield parts 14,16. Stress cone 34,36 is made by conductive rubber, and each stress cone all is arranged to a pair of awl of splitting, so as after the electrical connection that has formed between the cable 2,4, to be assembled into cable 2,4 around.

Stress cone 34,36 and faraday cell 28,30 are encapsulated in fully a pair ofly is generally that semi-cylindrical outside is hinged splits in the shell 38,40, this is made of the polypropylene that the polymeric material that conducts electricity promptly is mixed with carbon shell, they are embedded in together so that form one and are clamped in cable 2,4 cylindrical jacket on every side, thereby the respective cable that can be sealed to towards each side of joint connects on the cover 6,8.

The electric insulation support that forms by two half- cylindrical assemblies 42,44 links to each other with the outer surface of faraday cell 28,30 and links to each other with the inner surface of outer cover 38,40, thereby can make faraday cell 28,30 vertically and directly upwards being positioned within the described joint really, be electrically insulated from the said external outer cover so that guarantee faraday cell.

Be in the outer cover 38,40 around support 42,44 and the faraday cell 28,30 and within, and the space that links to each other with stress cone 34,36 in the vertical filled up the silicon gel 46 of electric insulation.

By being placed into corresponding outer cover, corresponding support 42,44, faraday cell 28,30 and stress cone 34,36 split in the shell 38,40, pour liquid, the gel 46 that do not solidify form into each and split the edge of shell until this shell, gel is solidified, just the assembled of aforementioned joint can be got up.Then, handle cable 2,4, lead 22,24 connected together with crimp 26 by cutting, after this, by ready outer cover is split shell 38,40 be clamped to cable 2,4 around insulation is provided, reduce stress and form shielding.Link the surface combination that can make each several part gel 46 be generally the plane together to together with splitting shell 38,40, this just can not only provide the composition surface of gel to the high insulation resistance of gel in half-open shell intersection, and the composition surface of high insulation resistance can be provided on the assembly that is encapsulated such as insulator 18,20 of cable 2,4.

When above-mentioned two were split shell 38,40 and connecting good cable 2,4 periphery seals and get up, gel 46 will be under pressure, thus can be around above-mentioned all component plastic deformation and fit with these assemblies.Therefore, can squeeze away connecting good cable ambient air, the gel 46 that has been out of shape can occupy the position of above-mentioned air.Should be noted that gel 46 can fill out the edge of splitting shell 38,40 basically before sealing.So, in case around connecting good cable, seal, just having a certain amount of gel 46 and produce displacement, the structure of said joint must can adapt to this situation.In addition, the variation heat cycle of power cable 2,4 also can cause gel to expand, and also must can adapt to this situation.Hereinafter the embodiment of disclosed joint has solved the problems referred to above.

The unsettled U.S. Patent application 08/138360 (WO95/11543) of Raychem company number has provided the general structure of above-mentioned joint and the details and the feature of assembly, and this paper has quoted the full content of this patent.

Following Fig. 2 to Figure 25 illustrates in greater detail each the version according to different aspect of the present invention in the concrete feature of cable joint among Fig. 1 and these devices.Should be realized that all combinations of two or more features as herein described all are considered to embodiments of the invention, unless this combination obviously can not be operated.

With reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 2 A, being two stress cone 34A that are generally the semicolumn component form is the improved forms that have the stress cone 34 of basic structure among Fig. 1.Thereby this stress cone is formed in the outer cover 40 and defines an annular cavity with this outer cover.Awl 34A extends to the direction of leaving interlayer 14 edges, and the leading edge 53 of awl 34A then is sealed on the outer cover 40.

As can be seen, gel 46 has filled up volume in the outer cover 40 around the insulator 18 of cable.Shown in Figure 2ly gone out cable joint structure when mounted, wherein, cable is not powered and cools off.In use, the lead of cable can reach the working temperature up to 95 ℃, in some cases even can reach higher temperature.In this case, can expand at the volume of about 200 grams usually in the joint up to 20% to the gel between about 300 grams.Under the situation that outer rigid cap 40 is arranged, this expansion must can be inclusive within the structure of joint.In the present embodiment, the expansion that gel 46 acts on the soft relatively rubber of stress cone 34A can be pushed hole 50, shown in Fig. 2 A.When gel 46 shrank because of cooling, the elasticity of awl 34A, the elasticity of its leading edge 52 specifically can keep the sealing load of gel around each assembly of joint thereby can act on gel.Therefore, owing to all can maintain enough pressure on the gel 46 in all cases, so, can stop formation hole in the zone that is subjected to higher electric stress around the adapter assembly, the described zone that is subjected to higher electric stress then is positioned between two stress cone 34A and 36A (latter is not shown) that are arranged at the joint two ends symmetrically.Should be noted that by hole 50 is suitably located, can make the certain radial distance of leading edge 52 of stress cone 34A produce distortion, therefore, can not reduce the control of the electric field that the cutting end of screen 14 is located at least in any significant mode in cable 2 outsides.

Fig. 3 shows the another kind of modified model stress cone 34B that is positioned at outer cover 40, wherein, is made the opening 60 at place, the radially outer end of this stress cone near the inlet of gels 46 by the piston 62 of spring 64 outside bias voltages.Therefore, when gel 46 expands, the pressure that puts on the piston 62 can make this piston enter opening 60 against the elastic force of spring 64, when gelinite 46 relaxes, the restoring force of spring 64 can keep the pressure to gelinite 46, thus can stop joint be subject to electrical interference the zone in formation any undesirable hole.

Fig. 4 and Fig. 4 A show the another embodiment that stress is eliminated awl, and this stress is eliminated the expansion that awl is arranged to adapt to the gel in the joint that has Fig. 1 structure usually.Elasticity awl 34C among the figure is installed in the outer cover 40 and has an opening 70, and the inwall of this opening and this awl is adjacent.Opening 70 is open, so as to receive gel 46 and allow the gel turnover in rear end promptly in the inside that is bonded in the stress cone of wall portions 72 away from the place, end in coupling compression joint zone, wall portions 72 then plays the interlayer of an expanding chamber 74.So in use, the volume increase meeting of gel 46 is applied to pressure on the interlayer 72 by opening 70, therefore interlayer 72 can be expanded, and when gel was lax, 72 of interlayers can return to the not state of expansion of its nature.

The Improved connector structure of Fig. 5 and Fig. 5 A shows a stress cone 34D, is equipped with a columniform atubular extension portion 80 on the front end of this stress cone, and this extension ends at a flange 82, and this flange then is fixed on the inwall of outer cover 40D.Outer cover 40D is in that thereby some is arch and has formed a cavity 84 near the circumference of the awl extension 80, and extension 80 then is mounted to the flexible interlayer of this cavity of leap.Therefore, the volume increase meeting of joint inner gel 46 is pushed extension 80 become and is partly put in the cavity 84.So, when variations in temperature causes gel volume to increase or reduces, can maintain continuous pressure on the gel 46.Shown in Fig. 5 A, cavity 84 communicates to prevent to form vacuum with the zone that is positioned at awl 34D rear portion by a passage 86.As can be seen, inflation cavities 84 is only extended around circumferential section ground that each of outer cover split shell 38D, 40D from Fig. 5 A, thereby makes and be included in splitting gel in the shell and can sealing this on the edge and split shell of joint.Be the whole extension of stress cone 34D as shown in the figure but also can be that the part 80 of a stand-alone assembly directly is bonded in outer cover 38D, 40D along the longitudinal edge of outer cover 38D, 40D two positions of splitting the amalgamation of shell phase, be trapped between part 80 and the outer cover to stop air.

In a kind of improved form with Fig. 5 and Fig. 5 A principle, outer cover 38,40 is not the arch of cavity qualification such as the label 84, but extends on interlayer part 80 and contact with this part as a right circular cylinder.In this structure, can be to be independent of the extension 80 of assembly of stress cone 34,36 except that along aforementioned longitudinal edge, not being bonded in equitant outer cover.Therefore, when gel 46 shrank, part 80 can be under via the action of air pressure of through hole 86 moves apart the inwall of outer cover actually with gel towards the motion at joint center.Can imagine that assembly 80 comprises a part along the complete linear extension of joint longitudinal direction.In the present embodiment, assembly 80 also can be bonded in outer cover 38,40 in the zone that surrounds faraday cell 28,30, so that keep the electric geometry of joint in this zone.

Fig. 6 shows half a part of joint 600, and said joint combines the principle of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 embodiment.Sealing with splitting the passage 604 that shell 602 has a longitudinal extension of joint 600, this passage is positioned at this outer wall of splitting shell and extends along above-mentioned almost whole length of splitting shell at a circumferential location.(only show this passage half) all is fixed with a spring 606 and piston 608 in each of fixed length passage 604 half.One basically the stress cone 610 of splitting of rigidity be positioned at and split shell 602 and have a passage 612, upper channel is positioned on the outer surface of above-mentioned stress cone and extends to the rear portion of awl 610 and interlink with outer cover passage 604 from boring 610 front ends towards the gel-filled body 614 of joint.Therefore, gel 614 can flow through between awl 610 and outer cover 602 passage 612 and enter outer cover passage 604, thereby act on or acted on the piston 608 of spring bias voltage so that hold moving or expansion of gelinite.

Another modified model stress cone 34E among Fig. 7, Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B is equipped with as above with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 5 A described modified model interlayer device and certain roll-setting gear.Therefore, awl 34E front end promptly has an opening 90 (Fig. 7 A and Fig. 7 B) on the conical surface of gel, and specifically shown in Fig. 7 A, Fig. 7 A shows the section of above-mentioned stress cone.Gel 46 (not shown) enter opening 90 and power are applied on the outer surface that stress cone plays interlayer 92 effect, thereby extend into one with in the described similar mode of reference Fig. 5 and Fig. 5 A is formed on displacement cavity on the outer cover (not shown), said cavity is formed on outer cover and seals and bore on 34E main body that part of.In addition, the rear surface of opening 90 is to play an interlayer to the described similar mode of reference Fig. 4 and Fig. 4 A.

Stress cone 34E also has roll-setting gear, and roll-setting gear can make above-mentioned stress cone be used for the cables with different diameters in the given range.Therefore, have three openings 96,98,100 in the stress cone 34E, these openings lead to the rear surface (Fig. 7 and Fig. 7 A) of stress cone and define two path 10s 2,104 between these openings, and these two passages laterally extend in the said stress cone and partly extend into above-mentioned stress cone from aforementioned rear surface in mode longitudinally.Hereinafter with reference to Fig. 9 and Figure 10 illustrate stress cone 34E roll adjustment ability operation and with the cooperating of outer cover.

When gel 46 rose to some extent because of the temperature rising in use of the cable after sealing and/or because of the rising of the ambient temperature around the outer cover 40 temperature, previous embodiment allowed gel 46 volumetric expansions in the joint.But, owing under the common state of joint, also be the butt joint most of the time in useful life, gel 46 always is in heating status and therefore expands, so, can imagine the contraction in the time of for example should be able to adapting under some situation the power breakdown via cable.Above-mentioned gelinite moving structure depends on the motion of an elastomeric element, this moving structure can be arranged in to be in relaxed state when gel expands and to spread apart when gel cooling and volume reduce, so that keep pressure on the gel.Fig. 8 shows an embodiment of said structure, and wherein, stress is eliminated awl 34F and had an opening 110, and this opening portion ground is positioned at above-mentioned stress to be eliminated on the awl excircle adjacent with outer cover wall 60F.Outer cover 60F has a kerf part 112, and this notch portion and opening 110 are adjacent but separate mutually with aforementioned opening by the flexible diaphragm 114 that is fixed on the described notch portion.Notch portion 112 is led to the rear portion of stress cone 34F.With barrier film 114 and be arranged to make gel 46 after expanding under the normal operating state of joint can fill up opening 110 being connected of outer cover 60F and barrier film 114 is in relaxed state.When thereby cooling gel 46 shrank, barrier film 114 will be subjected to the extruding from the excess air pressure of air chamber (not shown), thereby expanded, extends into opening 110 and be in the position shown in the dotted line, therefore can keep the pressure on the gel 46.

Should be noted that with reference to the described principle of Fig. 8 also to be applicable to other structure, for example be applicable to reference to Fig. 5 and the described structure of Fig. 5 A.

Fig. 9 and Figure 10 eliminate awl with the stress that is applied to use for for example Fig. 1 center tap and show the embodiment of a roll adjustment structure as example, and said roll adjustment structure is used for forming sealing elongated the sealing on of object with different-diameter.Outer cover 160 is that polypropylene material constitutes and is two and is generally columniform form (only showing one of them) of splitting shell by the conducting polymer that relative stiffness is arranged.All be equipped with two substantially parallel and plain-straight-face flange inwardly or fins 162 on each end of outer cover 160, they are used for and corresponding stress elimination awl 164 engages, and each stress is eliminated awl and also formed two cones of splitting.Stress cone 164 is by having flexible relatively conductive rubber material to constitute and having groove 166, and these grooves are used to receive corresponding flange 162.As can be seen from Figure 10, when described two structures of reference Fig. 9 are incorporated into a time-out around cable 168, the soft material of the stress cone 164 that has been shaped can extend on the external diameter of cable 168 and can be separated along the composition surface 170 of the two halves of joint encapsulation piece.But the rigidity that extends into the fin 162 of the stress cone 164 that is positioned at cable 168 both sides can stop stress cone 164, and 170 places move apart cable 168 on the composition surface.

In Fig. 9 and example shown in Figure 10, have opening 172 in the flexible material of stress cone 164, the rear portion that these openings lead to conical surface promptly is in away from the surface in coupling compression joint zone and be located at the next door of the groove of being strengthened by fin 162 in the structure that assembles 166.Opening 172 can impel the inner surface of stress cone 164 to expand on cable 168 so that hold the cable of large-size, and 170 places keep cable excellent sealing on every side on the composition surface simultaneously.Central opening 172 specifically defines an inner semi-cylindrical barrier film, and it can stretch around cable 168, and the reinforcement flange 162 of rigidity then is consistent the cable 168 that the two halves of cone 164 are pushed Yu 170 places are encapsulated on the composition surface.

The reinforcement that is bonded with each other that should be noted that Fig. 9 and Figure 10 not applied stress is eliminated awl and just can be consistent with the elongated object of sealing.This principle can for example be used for providing sealing or as a sleeve pipe, in this sleeve pipe, have cable penetration one guard shield of a kind of diameter in the multiple diameter around a rotating shaft.

With reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12, half cone 800 of being made by conductive rubber material is improved forms of half cone 164 among Fig. 9 and Figure 10.Should note, similar to half cone 164, half cone 800 has the front end of sealing, and, above-mentioned cone will be placed on each end of splitting shell, and the said shell of splitting has then constituted cable joint encapsulation piece (Fig. 1 and Figure 12 only show a part of splitting shell) on every side.One bigger opening 802 locate in the rear end (as shown in the figure) of half cone 800 to extend to this cone sealing front surface and sealed by half housing 804 diametrically.Opening 802 is divided into three parts by a pair of fin 806.This to fin then roughly radially to extend with inner surface that half cone 160 of fin 162 relative outer covers shown in Fig. 9 embodiment is extended similar relative half housing 804 of mode.Fin 806 is arranged in the both sides that are positioned at the joint inner cable in the use.Half cone 800 inboard relatively thin wall portions of locating 808 is arch, thereby can in use fit in the internal freedom end of entrapped cable and reception and guiding fin 806.As shown in figure 11, fin is positioned comparison near the position of the joint longitudinal axis, thereby makes the length of arcuate part of inwall 808 of half cone 800 for minimum.In the above-mentioned position of fin 806, half cone 800 can be consistent with the cable (not shown) that minimum diameter is arranged.As can be seen from Figure 12, fin 806 has certain flexible, and this flexible outward-dipping and feasible one section bigger arcuate walls face portion 808 of fin that makes is extended between above-mentioned fin.In this state, half cone 800 can cause mutually with the cable of maximum gauge.Should be noted that with the embodiment of Fig. 9 and Figure 10 differently, the inner surface 808 of half cone can not extend in the present embodiment.But the existence of fin 806 still can not have air pocket to appear at the complete basically stickiness that has around the cable of cone in multiple size of guaranteeing under the situation at place, composition surface that near the cable surface two split awl altogether.The flexible meeting that should be noted that fin 806 makes fin outward-dipping but can make fin 800 comparatively soft resilient material has relative rigidity with respect to splitting cone around larger-diameter cable.

Figure 13 A and Figure 13 B and Figure 13 C show in order to the another kind of method that guarantees that gel 46 expands in Fig. 1 center tap, and above-mentioned each accompanying drawing has not all gone out according to faraday box shown in the label among Fig. 1 28,30 to improve the faraday cell that forms.With reference to Figure 13 A, split shell 28A, 30A for two and constitute by flexible conducting polymer materials and include three openings 120.When gel 46 expands, have the pressure that has increased and act on shell 28A, the 38A that splits, above-mentioned shell then can be out of shape because of the extruding of opening 120.Thereby the cooling of gel can cause the volumetric expansion of opening 120 can keep pressure on the gel 46.
