[0017] 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 of the embodiments.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 An embodiment of the utility model discloses a USB2.0 and CAN BUS composite signal line, specifically, the composite signal line comprises a first core line 1 and a second core line 2, a first shielding layer 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the first core line 1, and two third core lines 5 are arranged between the first shielding layer 4 and the first core line 1;

[0019] The outer side of the second core wire 2 is sheathed with a foamed PP tape 6, and the first shielding layer 4 and the outside of the foamed PP tape 6 are wrapped with a second shielding layer 7 and an outer layer 8. Two fourth core wires 9 are also arranged between the second shielding layer 7, the first shielding layer 4 and the foamed PP tape 6. In order to make the wire lighter and match the impedance at the same time, the foamed PP tape 6 is wrapped with the foamed PP tape during the cabling process. By using a low dielectric constant tape to match the impedance, the core wire diameter can be significantly reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the wire.

[0020] In some embodiments, in the utility model, a first ground wire 10 is arranged between the first core wire 1 and the first shielding layer 4, and a second ground wire 11 is arranged between the second shielding layer 7, the first shielding layer 4 and the foamed PP tape 6. The first ground wire 10 and the second ground wire 11 are respectively used as the ground wires of USB2.0 and CAN BUS bus to provide a safe operating environment for the cable system and prevent problems such as leakage and short circuit in the cable system.

[0021] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first core wire 1, the two third core wires 5 and the first ground wire 10 together constitute a USB2.0 line, the second core wire 2 is a CAN BUS bus, and the fourth core wire 9 and the second ground wire 11 are ordinary power wires and ground wires.

[0022] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the first core wire 1 and the second core wire 2 in the utility model are composed of two mutually twisted conductors, and an insulating layer is arranged on the outside of the two conductors. Of course, the third core wire 5 and the fourth core wire 9 described in this embodiment can refer to the structural setting of the above-mentioned first core wire 1 and the second core wire 2, and are arranged as a conductor plus an insulating layer structure. In the utility model, two mutually twisted core wires are designed to be used as power supply lines, and power supply to electrical devices can be realized after respectively cooperating with the first ground wire 10 and the second ground wire 11.

[0023] In some embodiments, the utility model also includes a filling piece 3, and a plurality of the filling pieces 3 are provided, and are respectively distributed between the second shielding layer 7, the first shielding layer 4 and the foamed PP tape 6. Preferably, four filling pieces 3 are provided in the embodiment, and the filling piece 3 is made of cotton yarn, and its function is to ensure stable support of the cable and stability of the structure, thereby ensuring the stability of performance transmission.

[0024] In addition, in this embodiment, the first shielding layer 4 and the second shielding layer 7 are both set as aluminum foil layers, and the outer coating layer 8 is a modified polyvinyl chloride rubber layer. The use of modified polyvinyl chloride rubber as the outer coating enables it to meet the physical performance requirements of vehicle-mounted wire aging, flame retardancy, etc. at a relatively thin outer coating thickness, thereby achieving a lightweight effect.

[0025] During processing, the CAN BUS line is cabled first, and then the USB2.0 line is cabled. In this process, the USB2.0 signal line and power line are cabled. In order to meet the requirements of the USB2.0 transmission protocol, a suitable pitch is used during cabling to ensure that the wire structure is stable while meeting the performance requirements, and to prevent the wire from being damaged due to a small pitch. Finally, the USB2.0 and CAN BUS semi-finished wires are assembled into a cable, and the USB2.0 wire is de-twisted using a de-twisting machine to prevent the wire from loosening during the cabling process. After the USB2.0 and CAN BUS semi-finished products are assembled into a cable, the wire diameter of the finished product can be significantly reduced, achieving the effect of light weight, simplicity and structural stability.

[0026] In summary, in the utility model, the USB2.0 core wire and the CAN BUS core wire are cabled separately by selecting a suitable pitch, and a foamed PP tape with a smaller dielectric constant is used to wrap the CAN BUS wire to reduce the wire diameter, and the semi-finished products of USB2.0 and CAN BUS are assembled into cables. When cabling, the USB2.0 semi-finished product is pre-twisted to prevent the wire from loosening. By integrating the USB2.0 and CAN BUS wires into an assembly cable, the size of the finished wire can be greatly reduced, making the wire lighter. At the same time, the combination of the two wires can improve the simplicity of wiring and improve the space utilization rate in the vehicle. Secondly, the use of a modified polyvinyl chloride adhesive layer in the outer sheath 8 can effectively reduce the thickness of the outer sheath of the wire and ensure the extrusion quality, and at the same time can meet the mechanical and physical performance requirements for vehicle-mounted wires in ISO 19642.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
