Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of cab assembly technology, and more specifically to a cab with electromagnetic shielding performance. Background Technology
[0002] The existing cab primarily ensures driving and passenger functions. To guarantee good visibility, a large windshield and door windows are installed. Numerous openings are pre-drilled in the vehicle body for wiring harnesses, conduits, and other components to enter and exit the cab, as well as for the installation of functional parts. Sealing strips are installed on moving parts such as doors to ensure rainproof and airtight sealing. Without electromagnetic shielding, the overall shielding effectiveness of the cab is less than 20dB. Electromagnetic waves can enter the cab through the glass, wiring harnesses, openings, and door gaps, causing interference and damage to equipment inside the cab, and potentially harming the occupants.
[0003] The existing technology has the following drawbacks:
[0004] 1) The cab body is a welded steel plate structure. In order to fix the internal components, mounting holes and connecting nuts are reserved on the body. After the components are installed, the holes cannot be completely sealed. Electromagnetic waves will enter the cab through the mounting holes reserved on the cab body.
[0005] 2) Ordinary glass does not have electrical conductivity. The glass and the glass frame are made of different materials and cannot achieve electrical conductivity. They cannot block electromagnetic waves from penetrating and cannot suppress or weaken electric and magnetic fields.
[0006] 3) The surface of the cab is coated with ordinary paint, which does not have conductive properties and cannot achieve a continuous conductive connection between the cab body and the external installed components.
[0007] 4) Ordinary sealing strips and rubber gaskets do not have conductive properties and cannot achieve conductive connection between the installed components and the main body.
[0008] 5) Electromagnetic waves can enter the cab along wiring harnesses that have not been shielded or filtered. Summary of the Invention

The door frame stop edge of the cab body is coated with conductive paint to ensure electrical connection between the door sealing strip and the cab body after installation. The part of the door welding assembly that contacts the door sealing strip is coated with conductive paint.

Detailed Implementation
[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a cab with electromagnetic shielding capabilities comprises six parts: a cab body 1, a windshield system 2, a wiring harness 3, a door assembly 4, a body cover 5, and a flexible shielding curtain system 6. The cab body 1 serves as the mounting base for all other components. The windshield system 2 is connected to the cab body 1 by bolts. The wiring harness 3 enters the cab body 1 through holes in the cab body 1, employing a through-wall structure. The door assembly 4 is divided into left and right sides and is hinged to the cab body 1. The body cover 5 conceals pre-drilled holes in the cab body 1 and is secured by bolts. The shielding curtain 6 is evenly adhered to the interior of the cab using hook and loop fasteners and can be quickly disassembled and stored when not in use.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the cab body 1 uses blind hole nut seat 1-1 to replace the welded nuts at each mounting position. The welding method is full welding and applying weld sealant to reduce the hole effect. This measure is mainly reflected in the floor assembly, engine hood assembly, and roof assembly.
[0041] The main technical measures for the cab body 1 are to adjust the fixing method of the mounting parts, reduce the holes and gaps in the body, and perform local electromagnetic shielding treatment on the holes that cannot be eliminated; adjust the wall-passing structures such as steering column 1-3 and pipeline harness 3, perform conductive treatment, and improve the degree of electrical connection with the body.
[0042] The mounting positions of each component on the cab body 1 are masked during the painting process of the cab body 1, and ordinary paint painting is cancelled. A conductive coating is applied to improve the conductivity of the contact points.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the wiring harness mounting holes for the electrical light fixtures 1-2 are located on the cab body 1, with two through-wall structures positioned on different spatial surfaces. These two labyrinthine through-wall structures effectively increase the attenuation of electromagnetic wave reflection. The mounting surfaces of the electrical light fixtures 1-2 are coated with conductive shielding paint, and the outer surface of the wiring harness is covered with flexible shielding cloth to form a continuous conductive layer. The mounting holes on the cab body 1 are uniformly coated with conductive paint. After the electrical light fixtures 1-2 are fixed with bolts, they are electrically connected to the cab body 1, and polyurethane sealant is applied around their perimeter to ensure a tight seal.
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, before the steering column 1-3 and other mounting components are connected to the cab body 1, the mounting surface is treated with paint removal, coated with conductive shielding paint, and after the conductive shielding rubber gasket 1-4 is installed, it is electrically connected to the cab body 1 through fixing bolts to achieve electrical connection.
[0045] like Figure 5As shown, the windshield glass system 2 consists of a glass pressure plate 2-1, a rubber pressure plate 2-2, a shielded glass frame assembly 2-3, and a conductive shielded rubber gasket 2-4. During installation, the installation location of the cab body 1 is treated with paint removal and coated with conductive paint. The glass pressure plate 2-1 and the rubber pressure plate 2-2 are used to press the shielded glass frame assembly 2-3 tightly during installation. The conductive rubber gasket 2-4 is tightened by fixing bolts to achieve electrical connection between the shielded glass frame assembly 2-3 and the cab body 1.
[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, the shielded glass frame assembly 2-3 consists of a glass assembly 2-5 and a glass mounting frame 2-6. The glass assembly 2-5 has an electromagnetic shielding film inside to achieve the electromagnetic shielding performance of the glass. A conductive mesh is added, with one end of the conductive mesh connected to the electromagnetic shielding film and the other end connected to the glass mounting frame 2-6 through conductive adhesive, so that the electromagnetic shielding film and the glass mounting frame are connected.
[0047] The door assembly 4 is equipped with a door glass system, which has the same structure and installation method as the windshield glass system.
[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, utilizing the waveguide cutoff principle, the wiring harness 3 includes a conduit 3-1 and a cab wiring harness 3-2. Conduit 3-1 employs a "mounting pressure plate + metal braided anti-wave sleeve" design to reduce electromagnetic leakage through the opening in the cab body 1. Before installation, conduit 3-1 is covered with a metal braided anti-wave sleeve 3-3 and secured with clamps 3-4. After passing through the opening in the cab body 1, bolts are used to pass through the pressure plate 3-5 to press the metal braided anti-wave sleeve 3-3 firmly onto the cab body 1. The perimeter of the opening in the cab body 1 is treated with paint removal and uniformly coated with conductive paint to achieve electrical connection between the metal braided anti-wave sleeve 3-3 and the cab body 1, utilizing the waveguide principle to significantly attenuate electromagnetic waves.
[0049] like Figure 8 As shown, the cab wiring harness 3-2 adopts a wall-mounted, centralized installation method using an aviation plug. Both the aviation plug and the wall-mounted connector are metal structures. The cab wiring harness 3-2 uses a metal connector wall-mounted structure and is centrally installed at the front of the cab body 1. The mounting surface of the cab wiring harness 3-2 wall-mounted connector is not painted, but uniformly coated with conductive paint. The original rubber gasket is replaced with a conductive shielding rubber gasket 3-6. The corresponding installation position on the cab body 1 is also coated with conductive paint. After installation, the electrical connection between the cab wiring harness 3-2 wall-mounted connector, the conductive shielding rubber gasket 3-6, and the cab body 1 is achieved.
[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, the door assembly 4 includes a door glass system 4-1, a door welding assembly 4-2, and a door sealing strip 4-3. The door glass system 4-1 has the same structure and installation method as the windshield system 2.
[0051] like Figure 10 As shown, the door sealing strip 4-3 is secured to the door frame stop edge of the cab body 1. The door frame stop edge of the cab body 1 has undergone paint removal treatment and is coated with conductive paint to ensure electrical connection between the door sealing strip 4-3 and the cab body 1 after installation. The part of the door welding assembly 4-2 that contacts the door sealing strip 4-3 has also undergone paint removal treatment and is coated with conductive paint. When the door is closed, the door welding assembly 4-2 presses against the door sealing strip 4-3, achieving electrical connection between the door glass system 4-1, the door welding assembly 4-2, the door sealing strip 4-3, and the cab body 1.
[0052] like Figure 11 As shown, the mounting surface of the vehicle cover 5 is treated with paint removal and uniformly coated with conductive coating. The original rubber gasket is removed and replaced with a conductive shielding rubber gasket 5-1. The corresponding mounting position of the cab body 1 is also coated with conductive coating. After installation, the cover 5, the conductive shielding rubber gasket 5-1, and the cab body 1 are electrically connected.
[0053] like Figure 12 As shown, the flexible shielding curtain system 6 includes a shielding fabric assembly 6-1, conductive hook and loop fasteners 6-2, and a door shielding curtain assembly 6-3. The base material of the shielding fabric assembly 6-1 is a copper-nickel composite flexible shielding fabric 6-4. The hook side of the conductive hook and loop fasteners 6-2 is fixed by stitching. The conductive hook and loop fasteners 6-2 are reinforced hook and loop fasteners, coated with a conductive coating to achieve conductive properties. The door shielding curtain assembly 6-3 has a three-layer structure: the inner and outer layers are Oxford cloth, and the middle layer is a copper-nickel composite flexible shielding fabric 6-4. The three layers are firmly connected by molding, resulting in a smooth, un-delaminated surface. The napped side of the conductive hook and loop fasteners 6-2 is stitched to the shielding curtain. The shielding curtain is equipped with a dedicated storage bag with clear external markings, allowing for quick disassembly and storage when not in use.
[0054] To achieve conductive continuity, conductive shielding coatings are required in many locations. Before applying the shielding coating, all locations must be cleaned to ensure they are free of water stains, oil, and other foreign matter. The shielding coating is then applied evenly according to the locations and dimensions specified in the design drawings, with a coating thickness of (80±20) μm. For other locations, the coating is applied according to the requirements for the cab painting. The joints between the shielding coating and ordinary paint must be smooth and uniform, without any defects such as exposed substrate or splashes. The adhesion must meet the ≤1 level requirements in GB / T 9286, and the surface resistivity must reach ≤1Ω.
[0055] This invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Anyone should know that any structural changes made under the guidance of this invention, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this invention, fall within the protection scope of this invention.
[0056] The technologies, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this invention are all known technologies.
