Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cable technology, and in particular to a new energy vehicle cable and a cable arrangement device thereof. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the power requirements and circuit control requirements, existing new energy vehicles need to connect multiple battery modules in parallel to power their motors, and also need multiple signal lines for circuit control. Therefore, the battery connection circuits of new energy vehicles are complex, and the connection lines are numerous and cumbersome. In order to improve the transmission performance of signal lines, the cables are required to have better shielding effect of electromagnetic radiation, so as to maintain stable signal transmission function. In the prior art, the special structure of flat cables enables the cables to be arranged neatly, and can realize the connection of multi-dimensional circuits in a narrow space, greatly saving the space used for cables.

[0003] In order to facilitate the sheath extrusion material of the flat cable core to enter between the cores, a certain width of filling gap is generally set between the cores of the flat cable. The filling gap increases the width of the flat cable and also affects the structural stability of the cable. If the cores of the flat cable are in contact with each other and arranged closely, there will be recessed grooves between the cores. Since the size of the bottom of the recessed groove is too small, the sheath extrusion material enters the recessed groove from the outside, which will result in insufficient filling.

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Reference Figure 1 A new energy vehicle cable includes a plurality of functional wires arranged in a line, a filler 103, two shielding layers 104, and a sheath layer 105. The functional wires are arranged in contact with each other to form a core group, and the functional wires include a first functional wire 101 and a second functional wire 102. The number of the second functional wires 102 is two, and the second functional wires 102 are located on both sides of the first functional wire 101. The shielding layer 104 is wrapped around the outside of the core group, and a filler 103 is provided between the shielding layer 104 and the core group, and a sheath layer 105 is provided outside the shielding layer 104.

[0039] The first functional line 101 comprises a conductor 1011 and an insulating layer 1012 wrapped around the conductor 1011. The conductor 1011 is formed by twisting copper wires for transmitting electrical signals, and the insulating layer 1012 is used to insulate the conductor 1011. The second functional line 102 is formed by wrapping a supporting layer 1021 around the first functional line 101, and the supporting layer 1021 is used to support the shielding layer 104.

[0040] Due to the support of the shielding layer 104 by the support layer 1021, a strip-shaped cavity is formed between the shielding layer 104 and the wire core group, and the strip-shaped cavity is the inner space 106. The filling 103 is formed by the bonding layer 1013 wrapped around the outside of the first functional line 101 being softened by heat and extruded inside the inner space 106. The bonding layer 1013 is wrapped around the outside of the insulating layer 1012 of the first functional line 101, and the outer diameter of the support layer 1021 is the same as that of the bonding layer 1013.

[0041] In this embodiment, the material of the insulating layer 1012 is polyimide, which is a high-performance polymer with excellent high temperature resistance, good mechanical properties and electrical insulation properties. Its long-term use temperature range can reach -200°C to 300°C, and it can still maintain excellent mechanical properties and electrical properties at high temperatures. The material of the support layer 1021 is silicone rubber, which is a polymer with a silicon-oxygen bond as the main chain. This special molecular structure makes silicone rubber have high thermal stability, oxidation resistance and weather resistance. The heat-resistant temperature range of silicone rubber is generally between 200°C and 300°C. The material of the bonding layer 1013 and the filler 103 is a thermoplastic elastomer TPE. TPE is a material that combines the properties of thermoplastics and elastomers. It has thermoplasticity and can be processed multiple times through heating and cooling cycles. During the heating process, TPE softens and becomes plastic, so that it can be used for shaping and processing. The softening temperature of general TPE is usually between 80°C and 90°C. The material of the sheath layer 105 is polyvinyl chloride. Before extruding the sheath layer 105 , the bonding layer 1013 of the first functional line 101 is heated and softened so that the bonding layer 1013 has a certain fluidity. The bonding layer 1013 is deformed by extruding it, and the bonding layer 1013 is squeezed out from between the functional lines to form a contact arrangement between the functional lines. At the same time, the bonding layer 1013 forms a filling 103 inside the shielding layer 104 .

[0042] The new energy vehicle cable in this embodiment is flatly arranged, which is convenient for wiring a large number of cable circuits in the limited space inside the car, saving space for cable use. The functional lines of this new energy vehicle cable are arranged in contact to form a compact core structure, which can improve the structural strength of the core part of the cable, and the filling 103 is used to reinforce the core combination structure. The filling 103 of this cable is obtained by extruding the bonding layer 1013 under heat and softening. The bonding layer 1013 is squeezed out from between the functional lines to obtain filling, and the functional lines can be filled fully, greatly reducing the situation of insufficient filling. The present invention obtains the filling 103 by presetting the thermoplastic bonding layer 1013 and softening and reprocessing the bonding layer 1013, thereby overcoming the problem of insufficient filling of the cable filler in the prior art by external extrusion and wrapping the core.

[0057] refer to Figure 6 After the core group enters the first chamber 61, the shielding layer 104 on the core group is wrapped and extruded by the molten extrudate. When the core group enters between the second guide wheels 71, the second guide wheels 71 extrude the core group inward from both sides in the horizontal direction. The functional wires are close to each other and stick to each other to form a compact core structure. The bonding layer 1013 between the functional wires is squeezed into the inner space 106 to form a filling 103. At the same time, the extrudate inside the first chamber 61 enters the inner limit plate 73 and the shielding layer 104 from the pressure relief hole 75 to form a third chamber 63. The extrudate extrude the shielding layer 104 at the third chamber 63 to form a depression in the shielding layer 104. The depression is used to adapt to the size change of the wrapping contour of the shielding layer 104 caused by the functional wires approaching each other. At the same time, the compressed depression of the shielding layer 104 can increase the fitting surface between the filler 103 and the shielding layer 104, reducing the probability of electromagnetic waves penetrating from the non-fitting part of the shielding layer 104, thereby reducing the leakage of the internal electromagnetic field and reducing the impact on other electrical components inside the car.

[0058] To limit the position deviation of the first functional line 101 between the inner limit plates 73, refer to Fig.12 and Fig.13 A limiting strip 76 can be provided on one side of the inner limiting plate 73, and the thickness of the limiting strip 76 corresponds to the thickness of the bonding layer 1013. The limiting strips 76 of the two inner limiting plates 73 are relatively arranged, and the limiting strip 76 is used to limit the movement of the first functional line 101 in the vertical direction, so as to keep the first functional line 101 and the second functional line 102 arranged in a line.

[0059] refer to Figure 7 The die of the second chamber 62 is used to extrude the sheath layer 105 , and the sheath layer 105 is cooled inside the second cooling tank 8 to obtain the target cable.

[0060] The combined working process of the cable production equipment and the cable arrangement device for new energy vehicles in this embodiment includes a preparation stage and a processing stage. The preparation stage includes steps 1 to 3, and the processing stage includes steps 4 to 8. The specific processing steps are as follows:

[0061] Step 1: Adjust the wire holders 122 of the first outer wire assembly 10, the second outer wire assembly 11, and the third outer wire assembly 12 to appropriate positions to ensure that the wire 1011 corresponding to the first functional wire 101 can pass through the first extrusion head 21 and the second extrusion head 41, and the wire 1011 corresponding to the first functional wire 101 can pass through the first extrusion head 21 and the third extrusion head 42;

[0062] Step 2: After the wires 1011 corresponding to the first functional line 101 and the second functional line 102 are released from the corresponding wire release device 1, they pass through the first outer wire assembly 10, the first group of extrusion equipment 2, the first first cooling tank 3, the second outer wire assembly 11, the second group of extrusion equipment 4, the second first cooling tank 3, and the third outer wire assembly 12 in sequence, and then the first functional line 101 and the second functional line 102 are placed between the upper outer limit plate 134 and the second base 131 of the fourth outer wire assembly 13 respectively, and by adjusting the second positioning bolt 133 and the third positioning bolt 135, the outer limit plate 134 and the guide ball 132 respectively limit the first functional line 101 and the second functional line 102;

[0063] After passing through the wrapping device 5, the wire core group passes through the molding extrusion device 6, and is taken up by the wire take-up device 9 from the die of the molding extrusion device 6. When passing through the inner wire arrangement assembly 7, the second adjustment cylinder 74 is used to make the two inner limit plates 73 limit the wire core group in the vertical direction, and then the first adjustment cylinder 72 is used to make the second guide wheel 71 limit the wire core group in the horizontal direction. The distance between the two second guide wheels 71 is the target width of the contact arrangement between the functional wires in the wire core group.

[0064] Step 3: the wire pay-off device 1 continues to pay out the wire, and the wire take-up device 9 continues to take up the wire, so as to keep the wire core running continuously;

[0065] Step 4: The wire 1011 passes through the first group of extrusion equipment 2, and the first extrusion head 21 extrude the insulation layer 1012 on the outside of the wire 1011 to obtain the first functional wire 101. After extrusion, the first functional wire 101 is cooled in the first first cooling tank 3;

[0066] Step 5, the first functional line 101 passes through the second group of extrusion equipment 4, the second extrusion head 41 extrude the bonding layer 1013 outside the insulating layer 1012 of the first functional line 101, and the third extrusion head 42 extrude the supporting layer 1021 outside the insulating layer 1012 of the first functional line 101 to obtain the second functional line 102, and the bonding layer 1013 and the supporting layer 1021 are cooled in the second first cooling tank 3;

[0067] Step 6: The fourth outer cable assembly 13 combines the first functional cable 101 with the bonding layer 1013 and the second functional cable 102 to form a cable core group;

[0068] Step 7, the wire core group passes through the wrapping device 5, and the wrapping device 5 wraps the shielding layer 104 around the outside of the wire core group;

[0069] Step eight, the wire core group with the shielding layer 104 enters the preheating sleeve 64 of the molding extrusion device 6, and the heat emitted by the preheating sleeve 64 heats and softens the bonding layer 1013;

[0070] Step 9, Reference Figure 6 The wire core group enters between the second guide wheels 71 of the first chamber 61, and the second guide wheels 71 squeeze the wire core group inward from both sides in the horizontal direction. The functional wires are close to each other and stick to each other to form a compact wire core structure. The bonding layer 1013 between the functional wires is squeezed into the inner space 106 to form a filling 103. At the same time, the extruded material inside the first chamber 61 enters from the pressure relief hole 75 between the inner limit plate 73 and the shielding layer 104 to form a third chamber 63. The extruded material squeezes the shielding layer 104 at the third chamber 63 to form a depression in the shielding layer 104, and the depression is used to adapt to the size change of the wrapping contour of the shielding layer 104 caused by the functional wires being close to each other.

[0071] Step 10, Reference Figure 7 The wire core group comes out from the die of the second chamber 62, a sheath layer 105 is formed on the wire core group, and the target cable is obtained after being cooled in the second cooling tank 8.
