  By the way, in the above prior art, since both the VVF and the grounding wire are integrated with each other, the grounding wire is separated from the VVF by using a cutter or the like. End up. Accordingly, the work cannot be easily separated by hand, and thus there is a problem that workability is not good.

  This invention is made | formed in view of an above-described situation, and makes it a subject to provide the flat cable with a grounding wire which can aim at the improvement of the workability | operativity which concerns on the grounding wire isolation | separation at the time of construction.

  The flat cable with a grounding wire of the present invention according to claim 1 made to solve the above-mentioned problems is a flat cable formed by arranging a grounding wire and a required number of insulated wire cores and covering a sheath thereon. The ground wire is held by a holding portion provided on the outer surface of the sheath, and the outer surface of the ground wire is in a position protruding outward from the outer surface of the sheath. The grounding wire is a thin grounding wire whose thickness is thinner than the insulated wire core covered with the sheath, and the holding portion has a contact surface that is recessed in an arc shape. The surface is in contact with the outer surface of the thin ground wire at 1/12 to 1/2 of the outer circumference of the ground wire, and the contact surface is in contact with the outer surface of the thin ground wire with an adhesion force of 2N to 20N. It is characterized by.

  According to the present invention having such a feature, the flat cable and the ground wire are not integrated in a fixed state, but the ground wire is held by the flat cable sheath, in other words, grasped ( Integrate in the hold state. Separation of the ground wire at the time of construction is not a tearing operation using a cutter or the like but a peeling operation that can be easily performed by hand. According to the present invention, the contact range between the holding portion and the thin ground wire is set to 1/12 to 11/12 (preferably 1/12 to 1/2) of the outer peripheral length of the thin ground wire. This is because if 11/12 is exceeded, there is a possibility that the adhesion between the holding portion and the grounding wire will be too high. Moreover, it is because it may become easy to peel off when it is less than 1/12. Further, according to the present invention, the contact force between the contact surface and the outer surface of the thin grounding wire is 2N to 20N because it can be easily peeled off and does not easily peel off during cable transportation. Because.

  The flat cable with a ground wire according to claim 2 of the present invention is the flat cable with a ground wire according to claim 1, wherein the ground wire has an outer surface protruding outward from an outer surface of the sheath. The display color of the ground wire insulator in the ground line is different from the display color of the sheath.

  According to the present invention having such characteristics, a cable with improved visual discrimination can be obtained.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is an effect that it is possible to improve workability related to ground wire separation during construction. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to propose a better contact range and adhesion force between the hold unit and the ground wire.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a flat cable with a grounding wire according to the present invention. The flat cable 1 with a ground wire is configured to include a ground wire 2 and a flat cable 3. As will be described later, the flat cable 1 with a ground wire can improve workability related to ground wire separation during construction. First, each of the above configurations will be described.

  The ground wire 2 is a so-called ground wire, and includes a ground conductor 4 (conductor) and a ground wire insulator 5 (insulator). The ground conductor 4 is a single wire made of an annealed copper wire that conforms to or conforms to JIS C 3102. The ground wire insulator 5 is an insulator made of vinyl chloride that is extruded (coated) on the ground conductor 4. A known wire is used for the ground wire 2. The ground wire insulator 5 is colored for identification (for example, a display color that is green).

  The flat cable 3 is generally called a 600 V vinyl insulated vinyl sheath cable (VVF), and is configured to include two insulated wire cores 6 arranged in parallel and a sheath 7 (of the insulated wire core 6). The number is an example, and it may be 3 or more). The flat cable 3 is formed in a flat shape. The present invention is characterized by the sheath 7.

  Each of the two insulated wire cores 6 includes a conductor 8 and an insulator 9. The conductor 8 is formed by using an annealed copper wire that conforms to or conforms to JIS C 3102 and is a single wire. The insulator 9 is made of vinyl chloride that is extruded (coated) on the conductor 8. As the two insulated wire cores 6, known ones are used. Each insulator 9 is colored for identification (for example, a display color in which one is black and a display color in which the other is white). The two insulated wire cores 6 are not particularly limited, but are slightly thicker than the ground wire 2.

  The sheath 7 is made of vinyl chloride, and is formed by extrusion so that two insulated wire cores 6 are arranged in parallel and have a common covering. The sheath 7 has a display color that is gray, for example. A holding portion 11 is provided on the outer surface 10 of the sheath 7. The holding part 11 is a characteristic part of the present invention, and has a shape capable of holding the ground wire 2.

  The hold unit 11 will be described in more detail. The hold unit 11 is formed in a shape that makes it possible to grasp the ground wire 2. The holding portion 11 has a protruding portion 12 that protrudes outward from the outer surface 10 of the sheath 7, and a contact surface 13 that is recessed in an arc shape and contacts the outer surface of the grounding wire insulator 5 of the grounding wire 2. The hold portion 11 is formed in a shape that allows an appropriate adhesion to the ground wire 2.

  The holding unit 11 is formed in a shape such that the adhesion (holding force) between the holding unit 11 and the ground wire 2 is 2N to 20N (here, the ground wire 2 is easily peeled off (separated). ) And an adhesion force that does not easily peel off during cable transportation is set to 2N to 20N).

  The hold unit 11 is formed in a shape that makes contact with the ground wire 2 at 1/12 to 11/12 of the outer peripheral length of the ground wire 2 (the arc length of the contact surface 13 is grounded) It becomes 1/12 or more and 11/12 or less of the outer peripheral length of the wire 2. Preferably, it is 1/12 or more and 1/2 or less.

  The holding unit 11 may be provided at a position (curved surface portion 14) in the direction in which the two insulating cores 6 are arranged (curved surface portion 14) (position in a direction orthogonal to the arranging direction (plane portion 15)). ). The hold part 11 is provided over the entire length of the cable.

  Next, the manufacturing method of the flat cable 1 with the grounding wire of the present invention will be described based on the above configuration and structure.

  After the ground wire 2 and the two insulated wire cores 6 are manufactured in advance, these are arranged in a line, and after that, the sheath 7 is formed by extruding the vinyl chloride resin with an extrusion molding machine. The cable 1 is manufactured. Since the sheath 7 is provided with the hold portion 11 having the above-described shape, the extrusion is performed so that the hold portion 11 comes into contact with the ground wire 2 with an appropriate adhesion force.

  As described above with reference to FIG. 1, according to the present invention, the ground wire 2 and the flat cable 3 are not integrated in a fixed state as in the conventional example, but the ground wire 2 The flat cable 3 is integrated in the state held by the sheath 7, in other words, held (held). Therefore, the separation of the ground wire 2 at the time of construction is not a tearing operation using a cutter or the like as in the conventional example, but a peeling operation that can be easily performed by hand.

  According to the present invention, there is an effect that it is possible to improve workability related to ground line separation during construction.

  It goes without saying that the present invention can be variously modified without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  The flat cable 1 with a grounding wire of the present invention is a cable with improved visual discrimination because the display color of each part is different (the grounding wire 2 held by the holding unit 11 is connected). Although identification is easy in terms of shape, in the present invention, the display color is further changed to improve identification.

It is a figure which shows one Embodiment of the flat cable with a ground wire of this invention, (a) is an end view of the flat cable with a ground wire, (b) is a perspective view of the flat cable with a ground wire.
