Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of conductive materials, and in particular to a conductive silicone structure. Background Art

[0002] Conductive silicone is made by evenly distributing conductive particles such as silver-coated copper powder and nickel-coated graphite powder in silicone. The conductive particles are connected to each other through contact, achieving good conductive properties. The main function of conductive silicone is sealing and electromagnetic shielding. The product can be molded or extruded, and there are sheets or other punched shapes to choose from. Conductive silicone has applications in both military and commercial fields, but due to the high resistivity of the current conductive silicone, it cannot be directly used in the field of power transmission. If conductive silicone is used in power transmission, the first thing to be solved is to improve the conductivity of the conductive silicone. Therefore, how to improve the conductivity of conductive silicone is a problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0003] The object of the present invention is to provide a conductive silica gel structure.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the embodiment of the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A conductive silicone structure comprises a conductive silicone matrix in which a metal conductor is arranged.

[0006] By setting a metal conductor in the conductive silicone matrix, the resistivity of the conductive silicone can be greatly reduced, making it easier for large currents to pass through the conductive silicone.

[0007] Furthermore, the metal conductor is a metal wire. The metal wire is a copper wire. Copper has low resistance and relatively low cost, and is a better choice for conductor material.

[0008] Preferably, the conductive silicone matrix includes two ends and a middle portion between the two ends, and the metal powder concentration at the ends is greater than that in the middle portion. Further, the metal powder is silver powder and / or copper powder. The conductive silicone matrix is ​​electrically connected to other conductive objects (which may also be other conductive silicone matrices) through the ends, and the conductivity of the contact surface of the conductive silicone end can be improved by increasing the metal powder concentration at the ends of the conductive silicone matrix.

[0009] Furthermore, the conductive silica gel matrix is ​​a strip structure, and the cross-section of the strip structure is circular, elliptical, rectangular or regular polygonal.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the conductive silicone structure provided by the present invention greatly reduces the resistivity of the conductive silicone by arranging a metal conductor in the conductive silicone matrix, making it easier for large currents to pass through the conductive silicone, thereby realizing the application of the conductive silicone in power transmission.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] See also Figure 1-2 The conductive silicone structure provided in this embodiment includes a conductive silicone matrix 101, wherein a metal conductor is disposed in the conductive silicone matrix 101, and the metal conductor runs through both ends of the conductive silicone matrix along the electrical transmission direction of the conductive silicone matrix. By disposing the metal conductor in the conductive silicone matrix 101, the resistivity of the conductive silicone is greatly reduced, which facilitates the passage of large current through the conductive silicone, thereby realizing the application of the conductive silicone in power transmission. The metal conductor can be a metal sheet, a metal strip or a metal wire 103. By using the metal wire 103, a large number of metal wires 103 can be arranged on the conductive silicone matrix 101, thereby further improving the conductivity.

[0018] The metal wire 103 can be made of metal materials such as copper wire, silver wire, etc., but copper wire is preferably used because copper wire has good conductivity and low cost.

[0019] In order to further enhance the conductivity of the conductive silicone structure, as a preferred embodiment, the concentration of the metal powder 102 at the end of the conductive silicone substrate 101 can be increased, that is, the conductive silicone substrate 101 includes two ends and a middle portion located between the two ends, and the concentration of the metal powder 102 at the end is greater than the concentration of the metal powder in the middle portion, for example Figure 2 The metal powder 102 may be silver powder and / or copper powder, which can improve the conductivity of the end contact surface of the conductive silicone substrate 101 .

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the conductive silicone substrate 101 is a strip structure, and the cross-section of the strip structure is circular, elliptical, rectangular, regular polygonal, or other shapes.
