Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the utility model relate to the technical field of vehicle window lifting control, and in particular to an FPC cable and a vehicle window lifting control device for controlling the lifting of a vehicle window. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, vehicles are becoming increasingly versatile and integrated. Increasing vehicle integration not only enhances a vehicle's appeal but also simplifies it. Windows are an essential component of the vehicle's overall structure, designed to provide optimal lighting, ventilation, and visibility for the driver and passengers.

[0003] The side windows of a vehicle can generally be moved up and down by the user. Specifically, the window can be continuously raised or lowered by turning the window lift switch until the window is raised or lowered to the desired position, and then the switch is released to control the window to stop rising or lowering. However, the signal transmission lines currently used to control the lifting of vehicle windows generally use conventional wiring harnesses. In the manufacturing process of conventional wiring harnesses, the wiring harness is generally made of copper wire surrounded by plastic, with several strands of wire wrapped in an insulator to form a wiring harness. When connecting electrodes, each wiring harness must reach one electrode. When the current signal is large, many wiring harnesses are required to coordinate, which will inevitably occupy space and is not conducive to the development trend of high vehicle integration.

[0043] The present invention provides an FPC cable for controlling the lifting of automobile windows. Figure 1 This is a top view of the first surface of an FPC cable for controlling the lifting of automobile windows provided by the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The cross-section of the structure shown along line AA1, Figure 3 This is a top view of the second surface of an FPC cable for controlling the lifting of automobile windows provided by the present invention. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of an FPC cable for controlling the lifting of a car window provided by an embodiment of the present invention in a cross section parallel to the first surface, with reference to Figures 1 to 4 , the FPC cables used to control the lifting of car windows include:

[0044] Conductive main core 10;

[0045] The cladding layer 20 is coated on the outer surface of the conductive main core 10;

[0046] One end of the conductive main core 10 is a welding terminal 101, which extends out of the covering layer 20. The welding terminal 101 is used to electrically connect to a connection end of the window lift control device;

[0047] The surface of the conductive main core 10 includes a welding area 102, and the covering layer 20 includes a welding pad window 01, which exposes the welding area 102 of the conductive main core 10. The welding area 102 of the conductive main core 10 is used to electrically connect to another connection end in the vehicle window lifting control device.

[0048] Specifically, the conductive material of the conductive main core 10 may include a metal material, and the conductive main core 10 mainly plays the role of electrical conduction and welding. Exemplarily, the material of the conductive main core 10 may be copper. While copper has good electrical conductivity, it also has good corrosion resistance and can remain stable in media such as the atmosphere and weak acids. Copper is also a ductile metal that can be pressed into thin sheets and is suitable for various complex processing techniques. The shape of the conductive main core 10 in the embodiment of the present invention is flat, so that the FPC cable 4 is flat to improve the problem of occupying space.

[0049] The coating layer 20 is coated on the outer surface of the conductive main core 10. The material of the coating layer 20 includes an insulating material. The coating layer 20 is used to protect and electrically isolate the conductive main core 10. Exemplarily, the material of the coating layer 20 can be PI (Polyimide). While having excellent electrical insulation properties and a low dielectric constant, polyimide also has good chemical corrosion resistance. It can resist the erosion of various chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, and is not easy to be damaged, thereby preventing the FPC cable from leaking electricity. In addition, the coating layer 20 made of polyimide is cured at high temperature and high pressure by hot pressing, so that it is not easy to fall off, thereby enhancing the stability of the coating layer 20 coated on the outer surface of the conductive main core 10.

[0050] The conductive core 10 includes a first end and a second end. The first end extends beyond the cladding 20 and serves as a welding terminal 101 for electrical connection to a connection terminal in a window lift control device. The surface of the conductive core 10 includes a welding area 102. The cladding 20 includes a soldering window 01 that exposes the welding area 102 of the conductive core 10. This allows the welding area 102 of the conductive core 10 to be electrically connected to another connection terminal in the window lift control device, thereby transmitting the electrical signal used to control the window lift.

[0051] Conventional wiring harnesses are commonly used in window lift control systems to transmit electrical signals. These harnesses consist of copper wires encased in plastic, with several strands of wire wrapped in insulation to form a single harness. Each harness must reach a single electrode when connecting to the electrodes. When current signals are high, multiple harnesses are required, which inevitably increases space and hinders the trend toward high vehicle integration. The present invention provides a technical solution that utilizes FPC cables to transmit the electrical signals used to control window lifts. This allows for a more organized and compact wiring layout within the window lift control system, reducing the space occupied by the wiring and improving vehicle integration. Furthermore, compared to conventional wiring harnesses in the related art, FPC cables are lightweight and easy to assemble, significantly reducing assembly time and labor costs while facilitating automated assembly. Furthermore, FPC cables replace weak-current wires, and metal sheets can be used to connect the FPC cables to the busbars, thus reducing the number of contacts and, consequently, the probability of damage to the window lift control system.

[0052] In summary, the FPC cable for controlling the lifting of automobile windows provided in the embodiment of the present invention comprises: a conductive main core 10; a cladding layer 20, which covers the outer surface of the conductive main core 10; wherein one end of the conductive main core 10 is a soldering terminal 101, which extends out of the cladding layer 20 and is used to electrically connect to a connection terminal in the window lift control device; the surface of the conductive main core 10 includes a soldering area 102, and the cladding layer 20 includes a soldering pad window 01, which exposes the soldering area 102 of the conductive main core 10, and is used to electrically connect to another connection terminal in the window lift control device. The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention achieves a regular layout and compact structure of the circuits in the window lift control device, reduces the space occupied by the circuits, and improves the integration of the vehicle. Compared with traditional wiring harnesses that have numerous connection points and complex manual connection steps, FPC cables break through the limitations of process selection and can be combined with the characteristics of the car window itself to select a variety of welding processes such as ultrasonic welding, resistance welding, and chemical welding.

An FPC cable 4 can be connected between the lift switch unit 1 and the controller 2 to facilitate electrical signal transmission between the two. If the soldering terminal 101 of the FPC cable 4 is electrically connected to the lift switch unit 1, then the soldering area 102 of the FPC cable 4 is electrically connected to the controller 2. If the soldering terminal 101 of the FPC cable 4 is electrically connected to the controller 2, then the soldering area 102 of the FPC cable 4 is electrically connected to the lift switch unit 1.

[0058] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 6 This is a structural diagram of another window lifting control device provided by the embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 6 , and combined with Figures 1 to 4 In another embodiment of the present invention, the window lift control device includes:

[0060] One of the welding terminal 101 and the welding area 102 is electrically connected to the controller 2 , and the other is electrically connected to the electrode 3 .

[0061] Specifically, after receiving the window lift control signal, controller 2 is used to send a drive signal to motor 3 to drive motor 3 to rotate and perform the window lift operation. Therefore, electrical signal transmission is required between controller 2 and motor 3.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of another window lifting control device provided by the embodiment of the utility model, referring to Figure 7 In another embodiment of the present invention, the window lift control device includes:

[0064] Controller 2, lift switch unit 1 and motor 3; lift switch unit 1 is used to respond to the toggle force and generate a window lift control signal; controller 2 is used to send a drive signal to motor 3 after receiving the window lift control signal to drive motor 3 to rotate and perform the window lift operation;

[0065] Among them, the lifting switch unit 1 and the controller 2 are electrically connected by a first FPC cable 41, and the transmission of electrical signals between the lifting switch unit 1 and the controller 2 is completed through the first FPC cable 41; the controller 2 and the motor 3 are electrically connected by a second FPC cable 42, and the transmission of electrical signals between the controller 2 and the motor 3 is completed through the second FPC cable 42.

[0067] Based on the above embodiments, the coating layer 20 may optionally include an insulating coating sublayer, which is coated on the outer surface of the conductive main core 10 and is used to electrically isolate the conductive main core 10. The insulating coating sublayer may be made of polyimide.

[0068] Furthermore, the coating 20 also includes a shielding sublayer, located on the side of the insulating coating away from the conductive main core 10. This shielding sublayer is used to shield external electromagnetic fields from interference with telecommunications transmitted on the conductive main core 10. The shielding sublayer is made of silica gel doped with magnetic powder. It can be understood that the shielding sublayer is composed of silica gel and magnetic powder, and the magnetic powder is evenly distributed in the silica gel.

[0069] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention sets the coating layer 20 to a double-film layer structure of an insulating coating sublayer and a shielding coating sublayer, so that the coating layer 20 can not only protect and electrically insulate the conductive main core 10, but also play a role in signal shielding, preventing external signals from interfering with the electrical signals transmitted on the conductive main core 10.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the extension track of the FPC cable 4 includes a straight line and / or an arc shape.

[0071] Specifically, the shape of the extended track of the FPC cable 4 can be understood as the shape of the metal track between the first end and the second end of the conductive main core 10.

Preferably, the material of the alignment protrusion 103 is the same as that of the conductive main core 10, so that the alignment protrusion 103 and the conductive main core 10 can be integrally provided, thereby improving the secure connection between the alignment protrusion 103 and the conductive main core 10. The alignment protrusion 103 is used to connect two adjacent conductive main cores 10 during the batch production of FPC cables 4, thereby facilitating the alignment of the conductive main cores 10, improving the difficulty of aligning the conductive main cores 10, and reducing the difficulty of batch transfer of the conductive main cores 10.
