TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of vehicle pull wires, and particularly relates to a sealing structure of a vehicle pull wire. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the times, people pay more and more attention to the safety, reliability and comfort of automobiles, and require that the opening and closing force value is small, and the waterproof and corrosion resistance is strong. In the design and production of the opening and closing system of the automobile, we should not only meet the requirements of regulations, but also meet the comfort needs of customers, and also need to investigate the cases of vehicle opening and closing problems, and continuously enrich the vehicle use conditions and related climate environment through the arrangement and screening of big data, so as to maximize the quality requirements of vehicle consumers.

[0003] The vehicle pull wire has a wide range of applications, and its typical functions are opening of the automobile door lock, opening operation of the cover, and opening of the oil filler cap. The pull wire moves back and forth in the sleeve, which is easy to produce dust and water corrosion. In addition, under the condition of high temperature in the engine compartment, the corrosion speed of the pull wire is increased. Whether the door lock in the vehicle or the engine compartment cover lock is opened, the pull wire will be under stress and be unlocked. In the case of pull wire corrosion, the pull wire friction resistance is easy to increase and break.

[0004] The existing vehicle opening and closing pull wire in China is a kind of pull wire which takes a plurality of steel wires as a base body, takes a flat wire tube as an outer sleeve, takes PA66 sheath and POM bushing and zinc-nickel alloy as combined auxiliary materials. The material has high strength, good corrosion resistance and tensile resistance, and is concentratedly applied on the door lock pull wire, the oil filler cap telescopic pull wire and the like on the automobile. The existing pull wire includes a zinc alloy pin 01, a plurality of steel wire ropes 02, a dust cap 03, a cable sleeve buckle 04, a sleeve 05 and a protective tube 06, as shown in the specific structure of the pull wire. Fig. 1 When the pull wire works, no matter whether the structure of the plurality of steel wire ropes is parallel or winding, the movement of the plurality of steel wire ropes in the sleeve will produce a large resistance. If the opening of the dust cover is small, the steel wire drives the dust cover to produce resistance in the process of movement in the sleeve, which hinders the unlocking force value and stroke, and causes the door cover lock to be unable to be normally opened. If the opening of the dust cover is large, dust, oil stains and water mist enter the sleeve, and in the summer or high temperature and high humidity environment, the pull wire is corroded and broken, the pull wire opening fails, and the door cover cannot be opened. In the case of danger needing emergency escape, in the case that the door cannot be opened due to the failure of the pull wire, professional tools are needed to open the door or break the window to rescue people, which causes long time, increases the difficulty of escape, and reduces the escape probability. Therefore, for the electric vehicle and the traditional fuel vehicle, the sealing property, the durability and the weather resistance of the door lock pull wire are particularly important. SUMMARY

[0005] The automobile cable sealing structure aims to provide a reliable sealing method for the cable sealing problem of a lock body, provide unlocking security for a safety escape door lock, and solve the problems of dust and water entering the cable sleeve and cable corrosion, so as to solve the problem of large resistance between the cable and the sleeve during the movement of the cable.

[0008] Further, the zinc alloy plunger sheath comprises a sheath body, a tapered pipe portion and a cylindrical pipe portion connecting the sheath body and the tapered pipe portion, the sheath body is sleeved on the zinc alloy plunger, the cylindrical pipe portion is sleeved on the plurality of steel wire ropes close to the zinc alloy plunger, and the tapered pipe portion is in compression contact with one end of the dustproof cap.

The following examples are only exemplary and can only be used to explain and illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but cannot be interpreted as a limitation of the technical solutions of the present application.

[0021] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3 , the present application provides a kind of automobile cable sealing structure, including zinc alloy plunger 1, multi-strand steel wire 3, one end of multi-strand steel wire 3 is fixedly connected with zinc alloy plunger 1, zinc alloy plunger sheath 2 is arranged on the outside of zinc alloy plunger 1, multi-strand steel wire rope plastic layer is injection molded on the outer surface of multi-strand steel wire, sleeve 6 is movably sleeved on multi-strand steel wire rope plastic layer, multi-strand steel wire is limited to move in sleeve, dust cap 5 is sleeved between sleeve and zinc alloy plunger sheath, protective tube 7 is sleeved on the outside of sleeve 6.

[0022] The zinc alloy plunger of the present application uses existing technology, the technical solutions of the present application do not improve it, and according to actual needs, the material of the plunger can also use other materials. Similarly, the multi-strand steel wire of the present application also uses multi-strand steel wire of existing technology, and the connection relationship between multi-strand steel wire and zinc alloy plunger is also the same as existing technology.

[0023] In the technical solutions of the present application, first, multi-strand steel wire rope plastic layer is injection molded on the outer surface of multi-strand steel wire, which is wrapped by online injection molding, and the plastic layer is wrapped with PE, PA46 and other low-friction coefficient wear-resistant materials.

[0024] The zinc alloy plunger sheath of the present application is injection molded with POM, PA66 and other hard materials, in other embodiments of the present application, other materials can also be selected for injection molding according to needs, and the zinc alloy plunger and the zinc alloy plunger are produced by injection molding.

[0025] The zinc alloy pin sheath 2 includes a sheath body 21, a tapered tube portion 23 and a cylindrical tube portion 22 connecting the sheath body and the tapered tube portion. The sheath body is sleeved on the zinc alloy pin, the cylindrical tube portion is sleeved on the multi-strand steel wire rope close to the zinc alloy pin, and the tapered tube portion is in compression contact with one end of the dust cap.
