[0019] An automotive wiring harness is an important part of an automobile, mainly used for the electrical energy and signal transmission of the automobile, enabling each electrical appliance of the automobile to work effectively. An automotive wiring harness is mainly composed of a conductor material and an insulating material covering the conductor material. The conductor material plays the functions of transmitting electrical load and mechanical load in the power system. Among them, copper and aluminum are the most common and most used conductor materials in the power system. Among them, the copper conductor has the problems of high cost and large weight, while the wire formed by stranding aluminum conductors needs to be crimped with special terminals, and the crimping area of the aluminum conductor and the terminal is prone to electrochemical corrosion due to the potential difference.
[0020] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an automotive wiring harness, including a wire and an insulating layer. The wire includes an aluminum core and a copper layer coated on the outer periphery of the aluminum core. The insulating layer is coated on the outer periphery of the wire. Wherein, the wire has a cross-section perpendicular to the length direction, the area of the cross-section is V1, and the area of the copper layer on the cross-section is V2, satisfying: 0.1 ≤ V2 / V1 ≤ 0.5.

By coating a layer of copper on the aluminum core, the current-carrying capacity of the wire can be improved, and there is no need to use special terminals for crimping. By using the aluminum core, the drawing force of the wire can be increased. By defining the ratio range of the area V2 of the copper layer on the cross-section of the wire to the area V1 of the cross-section of the wire, while achieving the lightweight of the automotive wiring harness, the current-carrying capacity and drawing force of the automotive wiring harness can be improved, and the durability and safety of the automotive wiring harness can be improved.
[0021] The automotive wiring harness and in-vehicle electrical equipment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the features in the following embodiments and implementation manners can be combined with each other.
[0022] Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a wire according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a wire according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of an automotive wiring harness according to an embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , an embodiment of the present application provides an automotive wiring harness, including a wire 1 and an insulating layer 2. The wire 1 includes an aluminum core 10 and a copper layer 11 coated on the outer periphery of the aluminum core 10. The insulating layer 2 is coated on the outer periphery of the wire 1. Wherein, the wire 1 has a cross-section perpendicular to the length direction, the area of the cross-section is V1, and the area of the copper layer 11 on the cross-section is V2, satisfying: 0.1 ≤ V2 / V1 ≤ 0.5. Since aluminum has a lower density and unit price than copper, the weight of the wiring harness can be reduced and the cost can be lowered. By coating a layer of copper on the aluminum core 10, the current-carrying capacity of the wire 1 can be improved, and there is no need to use special terminals for crimping. By using the aluminum core 10, the drawing force of the wire 1 can be increased. By defining the ratio range of the area V2 of the copper layer 11 on the cross-section of the wire 1 to the area V1 of the cross-section of the wire 1, while achieving the lightweight of the automotive wiring harness, the current-carrying capacity and drawing force of the automotive wiring harness can be improved, and the durability and safety of the automotive wiring harness can be improved.
[0023] In some embodiments, the material of the aluminum core 10 is pure aluminum, and the aluminum content is greater than or equal to 99%. Pure aluminum is also called industrial aluminum. It is mainly composed of aluminum and has a purity of more than 99%. Pure aluminum has good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
[0024] In some embodiments, the material of the aluminum core 10 is aluminum alloy. The composition of the aluminum alloy contains, by mass percentage: Si: 0.04 - 0.1%, Fe: 0.30 - 0.60%, Cu: 0.15 - 0.30%, Mg: 0.01 - 0.05%, Zn: 0.01 - 0.05%, B: 0.02 - 0.04%, Al-10Re: 0.001 - 0.003%, and the balance is Al and inevitable impurities. In this embodiment, the aluminum alloy is an 8-series aluminum alloy, which has relatively high strength and hardness, and at the same time has good corrosion resistance. By introducing Al-10Re with a mass fraction of 0.001 - 0.003% into the 8-series aluminum alloy, Al-10Re means containing 10% rare earth elements, in which the content of lanthanum element is 6% and the content of cerium element is 4%. The introduction of rare earth elements has a modification effect, a purification effect and an alloying effect on the aluminum alloy. Specifically, before adding Al-10Re, the dendrite morphology of the aluminum alloy is thick and the dendrite spacing is large, and there is no precipitate phase around the dendrites. With the addition of an appropriate amount of Al-10Re, the dendrites of the aluminum alloy become thinner, and fine aluminum alloy compounds appear in the crystal grains. This is because Al-10Re can refine the crystal grains, hinder the movement of dislocations, react with impurities in the aluminum alloy at the same time, purify the aluminum matrix, and improve the tensile strength and elongation of the aluminum alloy. Also because Al-10Re can reduce the hydrogen content, purify the aluminum matrix, refine the crystal lattice and reduce the solid solubility of components such as Fe and Si, the electrical conductivity of the aluminum alloy is improved.
[0025] In some embodiments, the material of the aluminum core 10 is aluminum alloy. The composition of the aluminum alloy contains, by mass percentage: Si: 0.3 - 0.6%, Fe: 0.5%, Cu: 0.1%, Mg: 0.4 - 0.6%, Cr: 0.03%; Zn: 0.1%, B: 0.06%; Ni: 0.2 - 0.3%, Zr: 0.08 - 0.15%, V: 0.02 - 0.04%, and the balance is Al and inevitable impurities. In this embodiment, the aluminum alloy is a 6-series aluminum alloy, which has good strength and corrosion resistance, and at the same time has excellent workability and weldability. Introducing Zr with a mass fraction of 0.08% - 0.15% into the 6-series aluminum alloy, since Zr can form a stable precipitation phase Al3Zr, and at the same time Zr forms crystal nuclei to promote the grain refinement of the aluminum alloy, thereby improving the strength, tensile strength, and fatigue resistance of the aluminum alloy. Introducing V with a mass fraction of 0.02% - 0.04% into the 6-series aluminum alloy can make the crystal spacing and intergranular precipitation phase of the aluminum alloy smaller, and can also change the grain structure of the aluminum alloy, refine the grains, and improve the strength and creep resistance of the aluminum alloy; at the same time, V can increase the lattice constant in the aluminum alloy, improve the affinity with oxides, and thus improve the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy. In addition, the formed vanadium compounds can absorb hydrogen and bubbles in the aluminum alloy, thereby effectively preventing the generation of pores and cracks on the surface of the aluminum alloy and improving the weldability of the aluminum alloy. Introducing Ni with a mass fraction of 0.2% - 0.3% into the 6-series aluminum alloy can improve the heat resistance and plasticity of the aluminum alloy.
[0026] In some embodiments, the automotive wire harness includes a plurality of wires 1, and the plurality of wires 1 are twisted and connected to form a copper-clad aluminum conductor 100. The copper layers 11 of two adjacent wires 1 are in contact with each other. The sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of wires 1 is greater than or equal to 0.75 mm 2 . Taking the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the plurality of wires 1 as 0.75 mm 2 as an example, compared with a conventional copper conductor with a cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm 2 , the overall weight of the plurality of wires 1 can be reduced by at least 45%, and the overall weight of the automotive wire harness can be reduced by at least 25%, thereby realizing the lightweight of the automotive wire harness. In addition, due to the low density and unit price of aluminum, there is a great cost advantage compared with copper conductors, and the cost of the automotive wire harness can be reduced by about 15% - 20%.
[0027] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of wire 1 is d1, and the outer diameter of aluminum core 10 is d2, satisfying: 0.3 ≤ d2 / d1 ≤ 0.7. The ratio of the outer diameter d2 of aluminum core 10 to the outer diameter d1 of wire 1 can be any value among 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7 or the range between any two values. Among them, the outer diameter d1 of wire 1 also satisfies: 0.1 mm ≤ d1 ≤ 0.6 mm. Specifically, the outer diameter d1 of wire 1 can be any value among 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.45 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.55 mm, 0.6 mm or the range between any two values. The appropriate wire diameter can be selected according to requirements to meet the current transmission requirements, as well as the performance requirements and application requirements of the automotive wire harness.
[0028] In some embodiments, wire 1 has a cross-section perpendicular to the length direction, the area of the cross-section is V1, and the area of copper layer 11 on the cross-section is V2. The automotive wire harness satisfies: 0.1 ≤ V2 / V1 ≤ 0.2. The ratio of the area V2 of copper layer 11 on the cross-section to the area V1 of the cross-section of wire 1 has a preferred range, satisfying: 0.1 ≤ V2 / V1 ≤ 0.2. Specifically, the ratio of the area V2 of copper layer 11 on the cross-section to the area V1 of the cross-section of wire 1 can be any value among 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2 or the range between any two values.
[0029] This application tests copper-clad aluminum conductors 100 with different ratios of the area V2 of copper layer 11 on the cross-section to the area V1 of the cross-section of wire 1. Among them, the aluminum alloy uses 8-series aluminum alloy, and the test results are shown in Table 1.

[0037] This application tests the copper-clad aluminum conductor 100 with the ratio of the area V2 of different copper layers 11 on the cross-section to the area V1 of the cross-section of the wire 1. Among them, the aluminum alloy is 6 series aluminum alloy, and the test results are shown in Table 3.
[0038]
[0039]
[0040] Referring to Examples 1-3, the conductivity of the copper-clad aluminum conductor 100 can reach more than 54.2% IACS, the tensile strength is greater than or equal to 226 MPa, the elongation is greater than or equal to 20%, and the mechanical properties and conductivity are balanced.
[0041] The insulating layer 2 is coated on the copper-clad aluminum conductor 100 in Examples 1-3 above to obtain an automotive wiring harness with the ratio of the area V2 of different copper layers 11 on the cross-section to the area V1 of the cross-section of the wire 1, and a copper conductor with a conventional cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm 2 is used as a comparative example for testing, and the test results are shown in Table 4.
[0042]

[0044] In some embodiments, the outer diameter of the insulating layer 2 is D, satisfying: 1.45 mm ≤ D ≤ 2.5 mm. Specifically, the outer diameter D of the insulating layer 2 can be any value among 1.45 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.55 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.65 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.75 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.85 mm, 1.9 mm, 1.95 mm, 2 mm, 2.05 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.15 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.25 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.35 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.45 mm, 2.5 mm or the range between any two values. The insulating layer 2 mainly functions to provide insulation protection and enhance the durability of the automotive wiring harness, capable of protecting the wire 1 from external physical damage such as vibration, friction, pressure, etc., and improving the reliability of the wire 1 during use. It can be flexibly designed according to requirements to meet the performance requirements and application requirements of the automotive wiring harness, and the present application places no restrictions thereon.

[0046] An embodiment of the present application provides an in-vehicle electrical device, including a terminal and the above-mentioned automotive wiring harness, and the terminal is crimped to the copper layer 11 of the automotive wiring harness. Since the outer periphery of the aluminum core 10 is coated with the copper layer 11, there is no need to use special terminals and equipment for crimping, and no sealant or the like is required at the terminal crimping part to prevent corrosion. By limiting the ratio range of the area V2 of the copper layer 11 on the cross-section of the wire 1 to the area V1 of the cross-section of the wire 1, while achieving the lightweight of the automotive wiring harness, the current-carrying capacity and drawing force of the automotive wiring harness can be improved, and the durability and safety of the automotive wiring harness can be enhanced.
