Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cable management and protection technology, specifically relating to a temperature measuring wire braid and its braiding method. Background Technology

[0002] In the arrangement and protection of wafer temperature sensing cables, braided tubing, wrapping tape, and wire clips are commonly used. However, these structures suffer from poor structural stability, difficulty in maintaining a fixed shape, and limited aesthetics. Therefore, there is a need for a cable braid and its manufacturing process that can create a highly stable, aesthetically pleasing, and minimally constrained cable structure. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a temperature measuring wire braid and a braiding method thereof. This application enables the temperature measuring wire to be arranged neatly and orderly, with a strong structure, lower overall thickness, and a simple and neat visual effect.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a temperature measuring wire braid, including: at least 3 temperature measuring wires and at least one fixing wire. The fixing wire fixes one end of all the temperature measuring wires together in a warp and weft braiding manner to form a long strip-shaped braided part and a diverging part. All the temperature measuring wires in the braided part are arranged in parallel, and all the temperature measuring wires in the diverging part are arranged diverging at a preset angle.

[0005] Furthermore, the weaving method is warp and weft weaving.

[0006] Furthermore, the woven part is a flat knit structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the woven part has a dense twisted woven structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the end of the temperature measuring wire in the diverging section that is away from the braided section is connected to a temperature sensing element.

[0009] Furthermore, a first fastener is provided at the end where the diverging part connects to the braiding part.

[0010] Furthermore, a second fastener is provided at the end of the woven section away from the diverging section.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixed line is a temperature measuring line.

[0012] This application also provides a method for weaving the above-mentioned temperature measuring wire braid, comprising the following steps: providing a set of temperature measuring wires, all of which have the same length direction; determining the weaving area and the divergence area of ​​the set of temperature measuring wires; weaving from the beginning of the weaving area with a fixed thread in a warp and weft weaving manner, looping around until the end of the weaving area, and forming a predetermined angle between each of the temperature measuring wires in the divergence area.

[0013] Furthermore, at the beginning of the weaving stage, the first end of the weaving area is fixed to fix the relative position between the temperature measuring lines in the diverging area. Before weaving, the starting end of the fixing line is fixed to the first temperature measuring line to be woven. At the end of the weaving, the weaving end of the fixing line is fixed to the last temperature measuring line to be woven, and the end of the weaving area is fixed.

[0014] Furthermore, when fixing one end of the braided area and the diverging area, the fixing position is located on the diverging area, and the temperature measuring lines in the diverging area are spaced at a predetermined distance during fixing.

[0015] Furthermore, the weaving method is as follows: the fixed line crosses over and over all the temperature measuring lines by pressing on m temperature measuring lines and picking up n temperature measuring lines, and then proceeds in the opposite direction, circling around until it reaches the end of the weaving area, where m and n are both positive integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0016] Furthermore, m is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2, and n is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2.

[0017] Furthermore, the warp and weft weaving method is flat weaving, and a fixed thread is used for warp and weft weaving during the weaving process.

[0018] Furthermore, the weaving method is close-weave twisting. During the weaving process, two fixed threads are used simultaneously. When one fixed thread presses down on m temperature measuring threads and picks up n temperature measuring threads, the other fixed thread picks up m temperature measuring threads and presses down on n temperature measuring threads at the same position. The two fixed threads are twisted together when they exchange positions.

[0019] Furthermore, during the warp and weft weaving process, the values ​​of m and n are fixed.

[0020] Furthermore, during the warp and weft weaving process, the values ​​of m and n change.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0022] The temperature sensing wire braid of this application uses a fixing wire to fix multiple temperature sensing wires in a warp and weft braiding manner, so that the multiple temperature sensing wires have a natural transition and stable connection from a divergent state at one end to a tightly arranged long strip braid at the other end. The braiding method makes the temperature sensing wires in the braided part parallel and the structure is strong, with excellent resistance to deformation and long-term stability, without the need for additional complex fixing devices. The temperature sensing braided wires are arranged in a regular and orderly manner, with good appearance and a simple and neat visual effect. Moreover, compared with the traditional wire harness fixing method, the temperature sensing braided wire of this application has a lower overall thickness. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The temperature measuring wire braid provided in the above embodiments of this disclosure uses a fixing wire to fix multiple temperature measuring wires in a warp and weft braiding manner, so that the multiple temperature measuring wires have a natural transition and stable connection from a divergent state at one end to a tightly arranged long strip braided state at the other end.

[0034] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides an exemplary illustration of the temperature-sensing wire braid and its braiding method according to embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a simplified structural diagram of the temperature sensing wire braid in an embodiment of this disclosure.

[0036] This disclosure provides a temperature sensing wire braid 100, suitable for various scenarios requiring cable management and aesthetics, such as internal cable management in electronic devices, decorative protection of household appliance cables, and wire harness protection in industrial equipment. The temperature sensing wire braid 100 includes at least three temperature sensing wires 10 and at least one fixing wire 20. The fixing wire 20 braids together one end of all the temperature sensing wires 10 to form a long braided portion b and a diverging portion a. All the temperature sensing wires 10 in the braided portion b are arranged parallel to each other, while all the temperature sensing wires 10 in the diverging portion are arranged diverging at a preset angle.

[0037] In some embodiments, the weaving method is warp and weft weaving.

[0038] In some embodiments, the knitted portion b is a plain knitted structure. For example, the knitted portion b is a plain knitted structure with a 1-over-1 pattern.

[0039] In some embodiments, the braided portion b is a tightly woven structure. In the tightly woven structure, the temperature sensing wire 10 in the braided portion b is completely covered by the fixing wire 20.

[0040] In some embodiments, the fixed wire 20 is also a temperature measuring wire.

[0041] In some embodiments, a first fixing member 30 is provided at the end where the diverging portion a connects to the braided portion b. The first fixing member 30 is used to fix the shape between the diverging portion a and the braided portion b. Specifically, the first fixing member 30 is a fixing structure formed by adhesive bonding and solidification or an adhesive tape. It can be understood that the first fixing member 30 is sufficient to fix the end where the braided portion b connects to the diverging portion a, and to fix the relative position of each temperature measuring wire 10 in the diverging portion a near the end of the braided portion b.

[0042] In some embodiments, a second fastener 40 is provided at the end of the braided portion b away from the diverging portion a. The second fastener 40 is used to fix the end of the braided portion b away from the diverging portion a. Specifically, the second fastener 40 is a knot, heat-shrink seal, adhesive bonding and solidification forming a fixing structure, or tape, etc., formed by the temperature measuring wire 10 at this end. It can be understood that the second fastener 40 is sufficient to fix the end of the braided portion b away from the diverging portion a, preventing the braided structure of the temperature measuring wire 10 and the fixing wire 20 from becoming loose.

[0043] In some embodiments, the end of the temperature sensing wire 10 in the diverging portion a that is away from the braided portion b is connected to a temperature sensing element (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the wafer for measuring temperature on the wafer surface. For example, the temperature sensing element is a thermocouple.

[0044] This application also provides a method for weaving the above-mentioned temperature sensing wire braid. The method for weaving the temperature sensing wire braid includes the following steps:

[0045] A set of temperature measuring wires 10 is provided, and the length direction of all temperature measuring wires 10 is consistent. The braiding area and the divergence area of ​​this set of temperature measuring wires are determined.

[0046] Starting from the beginning of the weaving area, the fixed line 20 is used to weave in a warp and weft pattern, circulating around until the end of the weaving area, and forming a predetermined angle between the temperature measuring lines in the diverging area.

[0047] In some embodiments, at the beginning of the weaving stage, the first end of the weaving area is fixed to fix the relative position between each temperature measuring line in the diverging area. Before weaving, the starting end of the fixing line 10 is fixed to the first temperature measuring line to be woven.

[0048] After weaving is completed, the end of the fixed line 10 is fixed to the last temperature measuring line 10, and the end of the weaving area is also fixed.

[0049] Specifically, the beginning of the weaving area is the end where the weaving area and the diverging area connect, or the beginning of the weaving area can also be the end of the weaving area that is far away from the diverging area.

[0050] The beginning and end of the weaving area are fixed. The fixing points can be either at either end of the weaving area or outside the ends of the weaving area. The outside of the ends of the weaving area... Figure 1 The two ends of the braided portion b shown are not on the braided portion b (they are located on the temperature measuring lines 10 connected to the two ends of the braided portion b), and the two ends of the braided area are on the two ends of the braided portion b. Generally, for the fixing of the end connecting the braided area and the diverging area, the fixing position is located outside the upper end of the braided portion b, that is, the fixing position is on the diverging area, i.e., the fixing position is... Figure 1 The lower end of the divergent part a.

[0051] For the fixing of the end where the weaving area connects to the diverging area, i.e. Figure 1 The fixing of the upper end of the braided section b also needs to ensure that the relative distance between each temperature measuring wire 10 is fixed. Therefore, the end connecting the braided area and the diverging area is generally fixed with glue or tape.

[0052] For the fixing of the end of the weaving area away from the divergence area, i.e. Figure 1 The fixation of the lower end of the braided section b only needs to ensure that the braided section b does not loosen. Therefore, in addition to using glue or tape to fix the end of the braided area away from the diverging area, knotting or heat shrink sealing can also be used.

[0053] In some embodiments, the end where the weaving region and the diverging region are connected (i.e., Figure 1 When fixing the upper end of the braided section (b), the fixing position is located on the diverging area, and before fixing, each temperature measuring line in the diverging area is diverged at a predetermined angle to fix the initial shape of each temperature measuring line in the diverging area.

[0054] Due to the lower end of the divergent part a ( Figure 1 The temperature measuring lines (in the direction shown) need to maintain a fixed relative position. Therefore, the lower end of the diverging section a may be slightly wider than the main structure of the braided section b. Therefore, generally, the fixing line 20 starts from the end where the braided area connects to the diverging area (i.e.,...). Figure 1The weaving begins at the upper end of the braided section b, which facilitates the transition in shape from the diverging section a to the braided section b. Specifically, when the fixed line 20 begins weaving from the end where the braided area connects to the diverging area, it first starts weaving at the lower end of the diverging area according to the determined braided area and diverging area of ​​the temperature measuring line. Figure 1 The lower end of the diverging section a is fixed to fix the relative position between the temperature measuring lines in the diverging area, and the temperature measuring lines are diverged at a predetermined angle. Then, during weaving, the weaving density, crossing frequency, or force is gradually and orderly changed to achieve a smooth transition from the diverging section a to the weaving section b.

[0055] Of course, the fixed line 20 is from the end of the braided area away from the diverging area (i.e. Figure 1 It is also feasible to start weaving from the lower end of the middle weaving section (b). Before weaving to the end, fix the end of the weaving area in advance. When weaving to the end, gradually and orderly change the weaving density, cross frequency or force to achieve a smooth transition with the diverging section (a).

[0056] In some embodiments, when the end connecting the braided area and the diverging area is fixed, the fixing position is located on the diverging area, and when fixing, the temperature measuring lines in the diverging area are spaced apart by a predetermined distance.

[0057] In some embodiments, the warp and weft weaving method is as follows: the fixed line 20 crosses and passes through all the temperature measuring lines by pressing m temperature measuring lines 10 and picking n temperature measuring lines 10, and then proceeds in the opposite direction, circling around until it weaves to the end of the weaving area, where m and n are both positive integers greater than or equal to 1.

[0058] Preferably, m is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2, and n is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 2.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, m is 1, n is 1, and the fixed line 20 crosses over all the temperature measuring lines in a 1-over-1 manner.

[0060] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of warp and weft weaving in another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, m is 2, n is 1, and the fixed line 20 crosses over all the temperature measuring lines in a 2-over-1 manner.

[0062] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of warp and weft weaving in another embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, m is 2, n is 2, and the fixed line 20 crosses and runs up and down through all the temperature measuring lines in a 2-over-2 manner.

[0064] In some embodiments, the values ​​of m and n are fixed during weaving. For example, the weaving method is 1 press and 1 pick from the beginning to the end of the weaving area.

[0065] In some embodiments, the values ​​of m and n are changed during weaving. Specifically, the values ​​of m and n can be changed within the same row. For example, within the same row, weaving can begin with a 1-over-1 pattern, then transition to a 2-over-2 pattern in the middle, and finally end with a 1-over-1 pattern again. The values ​​of m and n can also be changed between different rows. For example, at the beginning of the weaving area, weaving can begin with a 1-over-1 pattern for several rows, then switch to a 2-over-1 pattern for the middle section, and finally weave to the end of the weaving area with a 2-over-2 pattern again.

[0066] In some embodiments, the warp and weft weaving method is plain weaving, and a fixed thread 20 is used for warp and weft weaving during the weaving process. That is, the fixed thread 20 crosses and passes over all the temperature measuring wires by pressing m temperature measuring wires 10 and picking n temperature measuring wires 10, and then proceeds in the opposite direction, cyclically, until it weaves to the end of the weaving area.

[0067] It needs to be explained that using a single fixed thread in flat weaving means using only one fixed thread at a time during the weaving process, not that only one fixed thread is used for the entire weaving area. If the length of the weaving section is not reached after one fixed thread is woven, other fixed threads are needed to continue weaving.

[0068] In some embodiments, the weft and warp knitting method is close-weave twisting. During the knitting process, two fixed threads 20 are used simultaneously. When one fixed thread presses down on m temperature measuring wires and picks up n temperature measuring wires, the other fixed thread picks up m temperature measuring wires and presses down on n temperature measuring wires at the same position. The two fixed threads are twisted together when their positions are exchanged. For example, the two fixed threads are a first fixed thread and a second fixed thread. When the first fixed thread presses down on m temperature measuring wires, the second fixed thread picks up m temperature measuring wires at the same position. When the first fixed thread picks up n temperature measuring wires, the second fixed thread presses down on n temperature measuring wires at the same position. The first and second fixed threads are twisted together when their positions are exchanged. In the knitted portion b obtained by close-weave twisting, the temperature measuring wires are completely covered by the fixed threads.

[0069] It needs to be explained that in close weave braiding, two fixed threads are used simultaneously during the weaving process, not just two fixed threads for the entire weaving area. When the length of the weaving section is not reached after the two fixed threads are finished, two more fixed threads are needed to continue weaving. In other words, in close weave braiding, the number of fixed threads required for the weaving section is an even number.

[0070] For example, the weaving method of temperature sensing wire braid includes the following steps:

[0071] Step S1: Provide a set of temperature measuring wires 10, with all temperature measuring wires 10 having the same length direction, and determine the braided area and diverging area of ​​this set of temperature measuring wires.

[0072] Step S2, at the lower end of the divergence region ( Figure 1 The lower end of the diverging part a is fixed to fix the relative position between each temperature measuring line in the diverging area, and each temperature measuring line is diverged at a predetermined angle.

[0073] Step S3: Fix the starting end of a fixed wire to the first temperature measuring wire being woven. Weave the wire using a flat weave method of pressing two temperature measuring wires and picking up two temperature measuring wires. When weaving the first row, the tension on the fixed wire is slightly lighter. After the first row is completed, the fixed wire is reversed and weaves again using the flat weave method of pressing two temperature measuring wires and picking up two temperature measuring wires. This process is repeated until the end of the weaving area. From the second to the fifth row, the tension on the fixed wire is gradually increased to achieve a smooth transition from the divergent part a to the woven part b. By the sixth row, the tension on the fixed wire is basically fixed to ensure that there are no gaps, twists, or loosening between the temperature measuring wires.

[0074] Step S4: When weaving to the end of the weaving area (i.e., when weaving ends), fix the end of the fixed thread to the last temperature measuring thread and fix the end of the weaving area.
