Description
本発明は、中心導体の周囲に絶縁層とテープ層と外部導体と外被とを内側から順に備えた同軸ケーブル及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a coaxial cable provided with an insulating layer, a tape layer, an outer conductor, and a jacket in order from the inside around a central conductor and a method for manufacturing the same.
自動車用や電子機器用の内部配線等に用いられるケーブルとして、同軸ケーブルが広く用いられている。同軸ケーブルは、中央に配置された中心導体の周囲に絶縁体が被覆され、さらにその絶縁体の周囲に、編組あるいは横巻きされた外部導体（シールド層とも呼ばれる）が設けられているものである。中心導体や外部導体には、軟銅線等の導電性金属が用いられ、絶縁体には、ポリエチレン等の樹脂が用いられている。また、外部導体及びその内側の絶縁体等を保護するために、通常、配線される際の同軸ケーブルの形態は、外部導体の周囲にポリエチレンやポリ塩化ビニル等の樹脂で構成される外被が形成されたものである。 Coaxial cables are widely used as cables used for internal wiring for automobiles and electronic devices. In the coaxial cable, an insulator is coated around a central conductor disposed in the center, and an outer conductor (also called a shield layer) that is braided or laterally wound is provided around the insulator. . A conductive metal such as an annealed copper wire is used for the center conductor and the outer conductor, and a resin such as polyethylene is used for the insulator. Further, in order to protect the outer conductor and the insulator inside the outer conductor, the form of the coaxial cable when wired is usually an outer conductor made of a resin such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride around the outer conductor. It is formed.
このような同軸ケーブルは、外部の回路などから発生するノイズに対するシールド性を高めるために種々の対策が採られており、例えば、絶縁層と外部導体の間に金属テープ層を設けたケーブルが知られている（例えば、特許文献１，２参照）。
特許文献１には、誘電体層（絶縁層）と外部導体層との間に、増大したシールド効果及び形状維持性を付与するために銅箔あるいはアルミニウム箔からなる金属箔を設けた同軸ケーブルが記載されている。また、この同軸ケーブルでは金属箔の厚みが誘導体層の外径の１％〜５％の範囲に設定されている。
また、特許文献２には、中心導体の上に設けられた絶縁体の上に外部導体を設け、その外部導体は、絶縁体の上に形成された金属テープ薄層とその上に施された導体編組とからなり、導体編組は、金属テープ薄層に融着されている同軸ケーブルが記載されている。また、その金属テープ薄層は、金属テープとその内側に積層されたプラスチックテープとの複合テープを金属テープを外側にして縦添えして形成されているものである。
For such a coaxial cable, various measures are taken in order to improve the shielding performance against noise generated from an external circuit or the like. For example, a cable in which a metal tape layer is provided between an insulating layer and an external conductor is known. (For example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
Patent Document 1 discloses a coaxial cable in which a metal foil made of a copper foil or an aluminum foil is provided between a dielectric layer (insulating layer) and an outer conductor layer in order to provide an increased shielding effect and shape maintenance. Are listed. In this coaxial cable, the thickness of the metal foil is set in the range of 1% to 5% of the outer diameter of the derivative layer.
Further, in Patent Document 2, an external conductor is provided on an insulator provided on a central conductor, and the external conductor is applied on a thin metal tape layer formed on the insulator. A coaxial cable is described which consists of a conductor braid, which is fused to a thin metal tape layer. Further, the metal tape thin layer is formed by vertically attaching a composite tape of a metal tape and a plastic tape laminated inside the metal tape with the metal tape on the outside.
ところで、絶縁層の周囲に外部導体を有する同軸ケーブルの場合には、配線後に温度変化や経時変化などにより絶縁層の収縮が発生すると、ケーブルの端末において中心導体と外部導体とが接触してショートしてしまうことが考えられる。また、絶縁層が収縮すると中心導体が断線する虞もある。特に、自動車用に使用される同軸ケーブルでは、その温度変化の厳しい環境に適合するために厳しいヒートショック試験が設定されており、例えば、−３０℃〜＋８０℃の急激な温度変化に耐えうる基準が規定されている。このような厳しい条件下では絶縁層が収縮してしまう問題があった。 By the way, in the case of a coaxial cable having an outer conductor around the insulation layer, if the insulation layer shrinks due to temperature change or aging after wiring, the center conductor and the outer conductor come into contact with each other at the end of the cable, causing a short circuit. It is possible that Further, when the insulating layer contracts, the central conductor may be disconnected. In particular, a coaxial cable used for automobiles has a strict heat shock test set in order to adapt to the severe temperature change environment. For example, a standard capable of withstanding a rapid temperature change of −30 ° C. to + 80 ° C. Is stipulated. Under such severe conditions, there was a problem that the insulating layer contracted.
また、テープ層として金属のみからなる金属箔を使用すると、同軸ケーブルに張力や曲げ、振動などの外力が加わった際に、金属箔は伸びずに切れやすい。また、テープ層、金属テープとその内側に積層されたプラスチックテープとの複合テープを金属テープを外側にして使用した場合には、絶縁層に接触する面がプラスチックテープであるためテープ層と絶縁層とが融着してしまうことがあり、同軸ケーブルの端末加工時に各層を段々に剥がす（所謂段剥き）ときに、うまく剥がすことができず作業性が悪くなってしまう。 Further, when a metal foil made only of metal is used as the tape layer, the metal foil does not stretch and easily breaks when an external force such as tension, bending, or vibration is applied to the coaxial cable. Also, when a composite tape consisting of a tape layer, a metal tape, and a plastic tape laminated on the inside is used with the metal tape on the outside, the surface in contact with the insulation layer is a plastic tape, so the tape layer and the insulation layer May be fused, and when the layers of the coaxial cable are processed step by step (so-called step peeling), the layers cannot be removed well, resulting in poor workability.
本発明は、中心導体の周囲に配置された絶縁層の外周にテープ層を介して外部導体が配置された同軸ケーブルにおいて、絶縁体の収縮を小さく抑えることのできる同軸ケーブル及びその製造方法を提供することを目的としている。 The present invention provides a coaxial cable in which an outer conductor is disposed on the outer periphery of an insulating layer disposed around a central conductor with a tape layer interposed therebetween, and a method for manufacturing the coaxial cable capable of suppressing the shrinkage of the insulator. The purpose is to do.
上記課題を解決することのできる同軸ケーブルは、中心導体と、前記中心導体の外周に配置された絶縁層と、前記絶縁層の外周に縦添えに配置された金属樹脂複合テープのテープ層と、前記テープ層の外周に配置された外部導体と、前記外部導体の外周に配置された外被と、を備えた同軸ケーブルであって、前記金属樹脂複合テープは、樹脂層の両面に金属層を有するとともに厚さが２４μｍ以上４０μｍ以下であり、縦添えにされた重なり幅が前記絶縁層の外周の０．１９倍以上０．３８倍以下である。 The coaxial cable capable of solving the above problems is a central conductor, an insulating layer disposed on the outer periphery of the central conductor, a tape layer of a metal resin composite tape disposed vertically on the outer periphery of the insulating layer, A coaxial cable comprising an outer conductor disposed on the outer periphery of the tape layer and an outer jacket disposed on the outer periphery of the outer conductor, wherein the metal-resin composite tape has metal layers on both sides of the resin layer. And the thickness is 24 μm or more and 40 μm or less, and the vertical overlap width is 0.19 times or more and 0.38 times or less of the outer periphery of the insulating layer.
また、上記課題を解決することのできる同軸ケーブルの製造方法は、中心導体の外周に絶縁樹脂を押し出し被覆して絶縁層を形成し、前記絶縁層の外周に金属樹脂複合テープを縦添えしてテープ層を形成し、前記テープ層の外周を外部導体で覆い、前記外部導体の外周に樹脂を押し出し被覆して外被を形成する同軸ケーブルの製造方法であって、前記金属樹脂複合テープは、樹脂層の両面に金属層を有するとともに厚さが２４μｍ以上４０μｍ以下であり、前記テープ層を、前記金属樹脂複合テープ同士の重なり幅が前記絶縁層の外周の０．１９倍以上０．３８倍以下であるように前記絶縁層の外周に縦添えして形成する。 In addition, the coaxial cable manufacturing method that can solve the above-described problem is formed by forming an insulating layer by extruding and coating an insulating resin on the outer periphery of the central conductor, and vertically attaching a metal resin composite tape to the outer periphery of the insulating layer. Forming a tape layer, covering the outer periphery of the tape layer with an external conductor, extruding and coating a resin on the outer periphery of the outer conductor to form a jacket, the metal resin composite tape, The metal layer has metal layers on both sides of the resin layer and has a thickness of 24 μm or more and 40 μm or less, and the tape layer has an overlap width of 0.19 times or more and 0.38 times the outer circumference of the insulating layer. As shown below, it is formed vertically along the outer periphery of the insulating layer.
本発明によれば、絶縁層と外部導体との間に配置されたテープ層を構成する金属樹脂複合テープの厚さが、２４μｍ以上４０μｍ以下となっていて、外部導体が絶縁層を固定する力を十分に作用できる程度に薄い。そして、金属樹脂複合テープを縦添えした状態のテープ同士の重なり幅が絶縁層の外周の０．１９倍以上であるため、温度上昇等で絶縁層が膨張しても絶縁層の外周を隙間なく覆うことができ、絶縁層の保持力を維持できる。また、重なり幅が０．３８倍以下であるため、重なり幅が大きすぎることによる製造性の低下を生じさせない。 According to the present invention, the thickness of the metal resin composite tape constituting the tape layer disposed between the insulating layer and the outer conductor is 24 μm or more and 40 μm or less, and the force by which the outer conductor fixes the insulating layer. Is thin enough to work. Since the overlap width of the tapes with the metal resin composite tape vertically attached is 0.19 times or more of the outer periphery of the insulating layer, even if the insulating layer expands due to a temperature rise or the like, the outer periphery of the insulating layer does not leave a gap. It can be covered and the holding power of the insulating layer can be maintained. Further, since the overlap width is 0.38 times or less, the productivity is not lowered due to the overlap width being too large.
また、金属樹脂複合テープは樹脂層の両面に金属層を有する構造であるため、外力が作用しても樹脂層が適度に伸びてテープの破断が防がれる。また、絶縁層や外部導体に接触する面は金属であるため金属樹脂複合テープがそれらと融着してしまうこともない。 Moreover, since the metal resin composite tape has a structure having metal layers on both sides of the resin layer, the resin layer is appropriately stretched to prevent the tape from being broken even when an external force is applied. Moreover, since the surface which contacts an insulating layer and an external conductor is a metal, a metal resin composite tape does not fuse | melt with them.
以下、本発明に係る同軸ケーブル及びその製造方法の実施の形態の例を、図面を参照して説明する。
図１に、本実施形態の同軸ケーブルの斜視図を示す。なお、この図では、ケーブルの構成を明確に示すために、ケーブルを構成する各部材を段階的に露呈させた状態を示している。
Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of a coaxial cable and a method for manufacturing the same according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIG. 1, the perspective view of the coaxial cable of this embodiment is shown. In addition, in this figure, in order to show the structure of a cable clearly, the state which exposed each member which comprises a cable in steps is shown.
図１に示すように、同軸ケーブル１は、中央に中心導体２が配置され、この中心導体２の周囲に絶縁層４が形成され、さらに絶縁層４の周囲に金属樹脂複合テープ層５を介して外部導体６が配置されている。外部導体６の周囲には、外被７が被覆されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the coaxial cable 1 has a central conductor 2 disposed in the center, an insulating layer 4 is formed around the central conductor 2, and a metal resin composite tape layer 5 is interposed around the insulating layer 4. The outer conductor 6 is arranged. A jacket 7 is covered around the outer conductor 6.
中心導体２は、導電性金属の細径線材を１本または複数本用いて構成されるものである。本実施形態では、極細径の軟銅線３を７本用いて、１本の軟銅線３の周囲に６本の軟銅線３が撚られたものが用いられている。中心導体２には、錫や銀のメッキが施されていても良い。
絶縁層４は、ポリエチレンやフッ素樹脂等の樹脂が用いられ、例えば好適には、耐熱プラスチックを使用できる。絶縁層４の樹脂は発泡したものよりも充実体の方が好ましい。
The center conductor 2 is constituted by using one or a plurality of thin conductive metal wires. In the present embodiment, seven ultra-thin diameter annealed copper wires 3 are used and six annealed copper wires 3 are twisted around one annealed copper wire 3. The center conductor 2 may be plated with tin or silver.
For the insulating layer 4, a resin such as polyethylene or fluororesin is used. For example, a heat-resistant plastic can be preferably used. The resin of the insulating layer 4 is preferably a solid body rather than a foamed one.
金属樹脂複合テープ層５は、厚さが２４μｍ以上４０μｍ以下の金属樹脂複合テープを絶縁層４の周囲に縦添えして配置したものである。この金属樹脂複合テープは、ＰＥＴ等の樹脂からなる樹脂層の両面に、アルミニウム等の金属からなる金属層を有する構造である。各金属層は接着層を介して樹脂層と接着されて一体化されている。この金属層により、外部導体６とともに同軸ケーブル１のノイズ遮蔽作用を高めている。
また、絶縁層４の外周に沿う金属樹脂複合テープの幅は、常温において絶縁層４の外周より１．１９倍以上１．３８倍以下であり、縦添えした金属樹脂複合テープ同士の重なり幅が絶縁層４の外周の０．１９倍以上０．３８倍以下となっている。
The metal resin composite tape layer 5 is formed by vertically attaching a metal resin composite tape having a thickness of 24 μm or more and 40 μm or less around the periphery of the insulating layer 4. This metal resin composite tape has a structure having a metal layer made of metal such as aluminum on both surfaces of a resin layer made of resin such as PET. Each metal layer is bonded and integrated with the resin layer via an adhesive layer. This metal layer enhances the noise shielding effect of the coaxial cable 1 together with the outer conductor 6.
Further, the width of the metal resin composite tape along the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4 is 1.19 times or more and 1.38 times or less than the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4 at room temperature. It is 0.19 times or more and 0.38 times or less of the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4.
外部導体６は、導電性金属の細径線材（例えば軟銅線）を複数本用いて編組あるいは横巻きされて、金属樹脂複合テープ層５の周囲を覆うように設けられている。本実施形態の外部導体６は、軟銅線が編組されたものである。 The outer conductor 6 is provided so as to cover the periphery of the metal resin composite tape layer 5 by braiding or laterally winding a plurality of conductive metal thin wire rods (for example, annealed copper wire). The outer conductor 6 of the present embodiment is a braided annealed copper wire.
外被７となる樹脂は、ポリエチレンやポリ塩化ビニル等を用いることができる。本実施形態の同軸ケーブル１は、ポリオレフィン系樹脂の耐熱プラスチックにより外被７が形成されている。この外被７は、ダイスによる押し出し成形により形成されており、外部導体６に対して密着している。外被７が外部導体６に対して密着して締め付けている力は、外被７を長手方向に５０ｍｍ引き抜くための引き抜き力が５．０ｋｇｆ／５０ｍｍ程度（３．５〜６．５ｋｇｆ／５０ｍｍ）となるように設定されている。この外被７からの締め付け力によって、外部導体６が絶縁層４を締め付けるようにして絶縁層４の収縮を抑えている。 Polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or the like can be used as the resin that forms the jacket 7. In the coaxial cable 1 of the present embodiment, a jacket 7 is formed of a heat resistant plastic made of polyolefin resin. The outer jacket 7 is formed by extrusion molding with a die and is in close contact with the outer conductor 6. The force with which the outer cover 7 is tightly attached to the outer conductor 6 is about 5.0 kgf / 50 mm (3.5 to 6.5 kgf / 50 mm) for pulling out the outer cover 7 by 50 mm in the longitudinal direction. It is set to become. With the tightening force from the outer jacket 7, the outer conductor 6 tightens the insulating layer 4 to suppress the shrinkage of the insulating layer 4.
このような構成の同軸ケーブル１は、金属樹脂複合テープ層５を構成する金属樹脂複合テープの厚さが２４μｍ以上４０μｍ以下であり、これは外部導体６が絶縁層４を固定する力を十分に作用できる程度の薄さである。そのため、ノイズ遮蔽性を向上させるために金属樹脂複合テープ層５を設けた構成であっても、温度変化や経時変化による絶縁層４の収縮力に抗して外部導体６の剛性が作用し、絶縁層４の収縮を外部導体６による締め付け力で確実に抑えることができる。
金属樹脂複合テープの厚さが２４μｍ未満であると、金属樹脂複合テープの成形性やノイズ遮蔽性が低下し、金属樹脂複合テープの厚さが４０μｍを超えると、外部導体６の締め付け力を絶縁層４に伝えにくくなる。
In the coaxial cable 1 having such a configuration, the thickness of the metal resin composite tape constituting the metal resin composite tape layer 5 is not less than 24 μm and not more than 40 μm, which is sufficient for the external conductor 6 to fix the insulating layer 4. Thin enough to work. Therefore, even if the metal resin composite tape layer 5 is provided in order to improve the noise shielding property, the rigidity of the external conductor 6 acts against the contraction force of the insulating layer 4 due to temperature change or change over time, The shrinkage of the insulating layer 4 can be reliably suppressed by the tightening force by the external conductor 6.
If the thickness of the metal resin composite tape is less than 24 μm, the moldability and noise shielding properties of the metal resin composite tape are reduced, and if the thickness of the metal resin composite tape exceeds 40 μm, the clamping force of the external conductor 6 is insulated. It becomes difficult to convey to the layer 4.
また、金属樹脂複合テープ層５は、縦添えした金属樹脂複合テープ同士の重なり幅が絶縁層４の外周の０．１９倍以上であるため、温度上昇等で絶縁層４が膨張しても絶縁層４の外周を金属樹脂複合テープが隙間なく覆う状態が維持されるため、外部導体６から金属樹脂複合テープを介して絶縁層４に伝わる締め付け力を維持できる。重なり幅が絶縁層４の外周の０．１９倍以下であると、絶縁層４が膨張すると絶縁層４の外周上に金属樹脂複合テープの隙間ができるおそれがあり、隙間がある場合は低温になったときに収縮する絶縁層４を締め付けて抑える力が不十分となってしまう。また、金属樹脂複合テープ同士の重なり幅が絶縁層４の外周の０．３８倍を超えると、重なり幅が必要以上に大きすぎて、縦添えする際の製造性の低下を招いてしまう。 The metal resin composite tape layer 5 is insulated even if the insulating layer 4 expands due to a temperature rise or the like because the overlapping width of the vertically attached metal resin composite tapes is 0.19 times or more of the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4. Since the state in which the metal resin composite tape covers the outer periphery of the layer 4 without a gap is maintained, the tightening force transmitted from the external conductor 6 to the insulating layer 4 via the metal resin composite tape can be maintained. If the overlap width is 0.19 times or less of the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4, if the insulating layer 4 expands, there is a possibility that a gap between the metal resin composite tapes is formed on the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4. In such a case, the force of tightening and suppressing the insulating layer 4 that contracts when it becomes smaller becomes insufficient. Moreover, when the overlap width of metal resin composite tapes exceeds 0.38 times the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4, the overlap width is excessively larger than necessary, resulting in a decrease in manufacturability when vertically attaching.
また、金属樹脂複合テープは樹脂層の両面に金属層を有する構造であるため、同軸ケーブル１に張力や曲げ、振動などの外力が加わった際にも、樹脂層が適度に伸びて金属樹脂複合テープの破断が防がれる。また、金属樹脂複合テープが絶縁層４や外部導体６に接触する面が金属となるため、絶縁層４や外部導体６に対して金属樹脂複合テープが融着してしまうことも防止される。 In addition, since the metal resin composite tape has a structure having metal layers on both sides of the resin layer, the resin layer is appropriately stretched even when an external force such as tension, bending, or vibration is applied to the coaxial cable 1. Tape breakage is prevented. Further, since the surface of the metal resin composite tape that contacts the insulating layer 4 and the external conductor 6 is a metal, the metal resin composite tape is prevented from being fused to the insulating layer 4 and the external conductor 6.
以上、図１に示した同軸ケーブル１は、車載用のケーブルとして好適に用いられ、例えば、車載用のラジオやテレビ等のオーディオ機器や、ＥＴＣ、衛星ラジオ、タイヤ空気圧センサ等のアンテナ配線に使用可能である。 As described above, the coaxial cable 1 shown in FIG. 1 is suitably used as a vehicle-mounted cable, and is used for, for example, an audio device such as a vehicle-mounted radio or a television, and antenna wiring such as an ETC, satellite radio, tire pressure sensor, Is possible.
次に、上記の同軸ケーブル１を製造する方法について説明する。
まず、中心導体２は、所定の径に伸線された複数の軟銅線３を撚り合わせて形成される。そして、中心導体２の外側に絶縁層４となるポリエチレン等の樹脂を押し出し被覆する。この絶縁層４は、電子線を照射することにより電子線架橋耐熱プラスチックとすることができる。
Next, a method for manufacturing the coaxial cable 1 will be described.
First, the center conductor 2 is formed by twisting a plurality of annealed copper wires 3 drawn to a predetermined diameter. Then, a resin such as polyethylene serving as the insulating layer 4 is extruded and coated on the outside of the central conductor 2. This insulating layer 4 can be made into an electron beam crosslinked heat-resistant plastic by irradiating an electron beam.
次いで、絶縁層４の外周に上記の金属樹脂複合テープをその重なり幅が絶縁層４の外周より１．１９倍以上１．３８倍以下となるように長手方向に沿って縦添えして配置し、金属樹脂複合テープ層５を形成しつつ、その外周に外部導体６を設ける。編組した外部導体６を設ける場合には、絶縁層４をその長手方向に送りつつ、編組する半数の軟銅線６を右撚りに、残りの半数を左撚りにして交差させ、絶縁層４の周囲に編組する。これにより、中心導体２、絶縁層４、金属樹脂複合テープ層５、外部導体５からなる編組コアが形成される。 Next, the above metal resin composite tape is vertically attached to the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4 along the longitudinal direction so that the overlapping width is 1.19 times or more and 1.38 times or less than the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4. While forming the metal resin composite tape layer 5, the outer conductor 6 is provided on the outer periphery thereof. When the braided outer conductor 6 is provided, the insulating layer 4 is fed in the longitudinal direction, the half of the copper wire 6 to be braided is crossed with the right twist and the remaining half with the left twist, and the periphery of the insulating layer 4 Braided into. Thereby, the braided core which consists of the center conductor 2, the insulating layer 4, the metal resin composite tape layer 5, and the outer conductor 5 is formed.
編組コアは、押し出し工程でクロスヘッド内に送られ、編組コアの周囲に外被７が押し出し被覆される。その際、外被７は、外部導体６に密着して形成されるとともに、外部導体６を金属樹脂複合テープ層５に対して加圧してさらに密着させるように作用する。これにより、絶縁層４は、金属樹脂複合テープ層５を介して外部導体６により締め付けられる。 The braided core is fed into the cross head in an extrusion process, and the outer cover 7 is extruded and covered around the braided core. At that time, the outer jacket 7 is formed in close contact with the outer conductor 6, and acts so as to press the outer conductor 6 against the metal resin composite tape layer 5 to be further adhered thereto. Thereby, the insulating layer 4 is fastened by the external conductor 6 through the metal resin composite tape layer 5.
外被７が形成された同軸ケーブル１は、水槽内を通過させることにより冷却され、その形状が安定する。その後、同軸ケーブル１はコブ検出器やスパークテスタ等により品質チェックが行われ、巻き取り機に巻き取られる。
以上の工程により、製品として出荷される同軸ケーブル１が製造される。
The coaxial cable 1 on which the jacket 7 is formed is cooled by passing through the water tank, and its shape is stabilized. Thereafter, the coaxial cable 1 is checked for quality by a bump detector, a spark tester or the like, and wound on a winder.
Through the above process, the coaxial cable 1 shipped as a product is manufactured.
上記の実施形態で説明した製造方法により、本発明に係る同軸ケーブル１を製造し、ヒートショック試験による絶縁層収縮の評価を行った。なお、評価の比較対象として、金属樹脂複合テープの厚さや重なり幅を変えたものを各種用意し、それらの同軸ケーブルについても同様に試験を行った。
評価対象の同軸ケーブルの共通の構成は、架橋ポリエチレンからなる絶縁層４の外径が１．６８ｍｍ、絶縁層４の外周が５．２８ｍｍ、金属樹脂複合テープがアルミ−ＰＥＴ−アルミの三層構造、外被７の樹脂が非架橋ポリオレフィン系樹脂、外被７の外径が３．０ｍｍである。
The coaxial cable 1 according to the present invention was manufactured by the manufacturing method described in the above embodiment, and the insulation layer contraction was evaluated by a heat shock test. For comparison, various types of metal resin composite tapes with different thicknesses and overlapping widths were prepared, and the coaxial cables were similarly tested.
The common configuration of the coaxial cable to be evaluated is a three-layer structure in which the outer diameter of the insulating layer 4 made of crosslinked polyethylene is 1.68 mm, the outer periphery of the insulating layer 4 is 5.28 mm, and the metal resin composite tape is aluminum-PET-aluminum. The resin of the jacket 7 is a non-crosslinked polyolefin resin, and the outer diameter of the jacket 7 is 3.0 mm.
ヒートショック試験に用いる同軸ケーブルの試験サンプルは、１ｍの長さに切断したケーブルであって、収縮量を確認しやすいように端末部分で絶縁層を１〜２ｃｍ程度露呈させた状態のものである。 The test sample of the coaxial cable used for the heat shock test is a cable cut to a length of 1 m, and is in a state where an insulating layer is exposed about 1 to 2 cm at the terminal portion so that the contraction amount can be easily confirmed. .
その試験サンプルを、−３０℃の恒温槽に３０分入れておき、次いで８０℃の恒温槽に３０分入れた。これを試験の１サイクルとし、１０００サイクルの試験を行った。そして、１０００サイクル後の絶縁層４の長さを測定した。そして、次式（１）により、絶縁層４の、試験前の長さに対する１０００サイクルの試験後の収縮率を求めた。
収縮率（％）＝｛（Ｌ０−Ｌ１０００）／Ｌ０｝×１００ ・・・（１）
この式（１）中、Ｌ０は試験前の絶縁層４の長さであり、Ｌ１０００は１０００サイクル後の絶縁層４の長さである。
The test sample was placed in a -30 ° C constant temperature bath for 30 minutes, and then placed in a 80 ° C constant temperature bath for 30 minutes. This was regarded as one cycle of the test, and 1000 cycles of the test were conducted. Then, the length of the insulating layer 4 after 1000 cycles was measured. And the shrinkage | contraction rate after the test of 1000 cycles with respect to the length before a test of the insulating layer 4 was calculated | required by following Formula (1).
Shrinkage rate (%) = {(L 0 −L 1000 ) / L 0 } × 100 (1)
In this formula (1), L 0 is the length of the insulating layer 4 before the test, and L 1000 is the length of the insulating layer 4 after 1000 cycles.
このようなヒートショック試験の評価を行った結果を表１に示す。 Table 1 shows the results of the evaluation of such a heat shock test.
なお、表１に示す金属樹脂複合テープの各層厚の項目では、各層間の接着剤の厚さは表記していない。
また、絶縁層の収縮の項目は、収縮率の評価基準となる０．３％以下に収まるものを記号Ａで表し、そうでないものを記号Ｂで表した。
収縮率の基準を満たすものは、例２，例４〜例７，例９であるが、例９は重なり幅が必要以上に大きいため、金属樹脂複合テープの成形性が不良であった。また、例８は絶縁層の収縮が大きいだけでなく、金属樹脂複合テープが厚いために成形性が不良であった。金属樹脂複合テープの成形性が不良であると、テープにしわが発生したり、重なり部分に折れ曲がりが発生したりすることがある。
例１〜例７を絶縁層の収縮と照らし合わせて比較すると、収縮率の基準を満たす例２，例４〜例７では、金属樹脂複合テープの厚さが２４μｍ以上４０μｍ以下であるとともに、重なり幅が絶縁層の外周の０．１９倍以上０．３８倍以下である。
In addition, in the item of each layer thickness of the metal resin composite tape shown in Table 1, the thickness of the adhesive between each layer is not described.
In addition, the items of shrinkage of the insulating layer are represented by symbol A when they are within 0.3% or less, which is an evaluation standard for shrinkage, and by symbol B when they are not.
Examples 2 and 4 to 7 and 9 satisfy the shrinkage criteria, but in Example 9, the overlap width was larger than necessary, so the moldability of the metal-resin composite tape was poor. In Example 8, not only the shrinkage of the insulating layer was large, but also the moldability was poor because the metal resin composite tape was thick. If the moldability of the metal resin composite tape is poor, the tape may be wrinkled or the overlapping portion may be bent.
When comparing Example 1 to Example 7 in comparison with the shrinkage of the insulating layer, in Examples 2 and 4 to 7, which satisfy the shrinkage criteria, the thickness of the metal resin composite tape is 24 μm to 40 μm and overlapped. The width is not less than 0.19 times and not more than 0.38 times the outer periphery of the insulating layer.
以上の試験結果から、本発明に係る同軸ケーブルは、金属樹脂複合テープ層の構成が適正な範囲に設定されていることで外部導体による締め付け力を絶縁層に良好に作用させて、絶縁層の収縮を効果的に抑えられることがわかった。 From the above test results, the coaxial cable according to the present invention is such that the configuration of the metal resin composite tape layer is set in an appropriate range so that the tightening force by the external conductor acts on the insulating layer well, and the insulating layer It was found that shrinkage can be effectively suppressed.
