[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the utility model embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the utility model embodiments, not all of the embodiments. Based on the utility model embodiments, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of utility model protection.

[0025] See also Figure 1 As shown, the utility model is a bending-resistant automotive cable, comprising a conductor 1, on the outside of which are sequentially arranged an inner insulating layer 2, a metal shielding layer 3, a filling layer 4, an outer insulating layer 5, a buffer layer 6, a tape 7 and a sheath layer 8, wherein the inner insulating layer 2 is tightly wrapped around the outside of the conductor 1, the metal shielding layer 3 is arranged outside the inner insulating layer 2, the filling layer 4 is filled between the metal shielding layer 3 and the outer insulating layer 5, the outer insulating layer 5 is wrapped around the filling layer 4, the buffer layer 6 is arranged outside the outer insulating layer 5, the tape 7 is wrapped around the buffer layer 6, and the sheath layer 8 is arranged outside the tape 7.

[0026] The above design increases the flexibility and conductivity of the conductor, and the silver plating treatment improves the corrosion resistance.

[0027] In one embodiment, the inner insulating layer 2 is made of high-temperature-resistant cross-linked polyethylene and has a uniform thickness of no less than 0.5 mm, ensuring excellent insulation performance even in high-temperature environments. Based on the operating temperature and insulation requirements of automotive cables, experimental and theoretical calculations have shown that a thickness of 0.5 mm provides sufficient insulation strength and high-temperature resistance.

[0028] In one embodiment, the metal shielding layer 3 is woven from tinned copper wire with a braid density of no less than 85%. This effectively shields against external electromagnetic interference and ensures stable signal transmission. Electromagnetic compatibility testing and simulation analysis have shown that a braid density of 85% effectively shields against most external electromagnetic interference, ensuring the normal operation of in-vehicle electronic devices.

[0029] In one embodiment, the filling layer 4 is made of an elastic rubber material, and a plurality of hollow elastic fiber tubes are evenly distributed within the filling layer 4. This structure reduces the weight of the cable while enhancing the cable's compression resistance and resilience, thereby improving its bending resistance.

[0030] In one embodiment, the outer insulating layer 5 is made of low-temperature-resistant silicone rubber and has a thickness of no less than 1 mm. Performance tests in low-temperature environments have shown that a thickness of 1 mm ensures that the outer insulating layer does not become brittle or crack under extreme low-temperature conditions, maintaining good insulation performance.

[0031] In one embodiment, the buffer layer 6 is made of polyurethane foam and has a thickness of not less than 0.8 mm. Mechanical performance tests have shown that the 0.8 mm buffer layer can effectively absorb and cushion vibrations and shocks during vehicle operation, protecting the internal structure.

[0032] In one embodiment, the wrapping tape 7 is a PTFE microporous foam insulation tape with an overlap ratio of at least 30%. This further enhances insulation performance and reduces friction between the sheath and the internal structure. Testing of insulation performance and abrasion resistance of wrapping tapes with varying overlap ratios revealed that an overlap ratio of at least 30% significantly improved the cable's insulation performance and abrasion resistance.

[0033] In one embodiment, the sheath layer 8 is made of wear-resistant and oil-resistant chlorinated polyethylene and has a thickness of no less than 1.5 mm. Based on simulation tests of wear and oily environments experienced in vehicle use, a thickness of 1.5 mm provides adequate protection for the cable and extends its service life.

[0034] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned conductor 1, the conductor 1 is composed of a pair of DC power core wires, a pair of signal control core wires, a pair of data transmission core wires and a protective grounding core wire, and the DC power core wires, signal control core wires, data transmission core wires and protective grounding core wires are all made of multiple strands of finely twisted silver-plated copper wires.

[0035] The above technical solution achieves this by: 1. By optimizing the conductor structure, adopting multi-layer composite insulation, and enhancing the buffer design, the cable can withstand a large number of bends and twists, thereby extending its service life. 2. The high braid density of the metal shield effectively shields against external electromagnetic interference, ensuring accurate and stable signal transmission. The high-temperature resistance of the inner insulation layer and the low-temperature resistance of the outer insulation layer enable the cable to operate normally in extreme temperature conditions. The material selection of the filler layer and the buffer layer enhances the cable's resistance to vibration and impact. The rational structural design and material selection give the cable excellent flexibility and wear resistance, facilitating wiring and installation within the vehicle while reducing maintenance costs.
