Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproof wire technology, specifically a sealing and waterproof wire for electrical connectors. Background Technology
[0002] Electrical connector wires typically contain metallic conductors, such as copper wires. If moisture enters the wire, it can degrade the insulation between the metallic conductors. For example, in humid environments, water acts as an electrolyte, creating a conductive path between normally insulated wires, leading to a short circuit. A short circuit can generate a large current instantaneously, damaging connected electronic equipment, such as burning out components on circuit boards or blowing fuses. Therefore, the waterproof sealing performance of electrical connector wires is crucial.
[0003] In Chinese Patent No. 2 (202)021735802.4, this utility model relates to a novel sealed and waterproof wire for electrical connectors, comprising an insulating outer sheath and multi-stranded twisted copper wires, with the gaps between the multi-stranded copper wires filled with hot melt adhesive. This novel sealed and waterproof wire for electrical connectors utilizes hot melt adhesive to fill the gaps between the copper wires, preventing moisture from entering the wire's interior through these gaps, eliminating safety hazards, and effectively improving reliability and long-term service life. The wire can be produced automatically, resulting in high-quality products that are not easily damaged by external forces. The manufacturing process is cost-effective and does not affect the product's appearance; it can be manufactured into various specifications of wire.
[0004] Existing waterproof electrical connectors rely on filling the gaps in the metal conductors with hot melt adhesive to achieve a sealing and waterproof effect. However, hot melt adhesive hardens and becomes brittle at low temperatures due to its inherent properties. If the wire is then subjected to bending, the hot melt adhesive inside is prone to breakage or cracking. These cracks compromise the integrity of the hot melt adhesive, allowing external moisture to penetrate the metal conductors and affecting the wire's sealing and waterproof performance.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a waterproof sealing wire for electrical connectors is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the supplementary sealing layer comprises a polyurea microcapsule shell, the interior of which is filled with a filler, and an internal piercing block is suspended inside the filler, and the internal piercing block is shaped as a triangular pyramid.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model provides a sealed and waterproof electrical connector wire. By filling the gaps in the metal wires with hot melt adhesive, the gaps inside the wire are sealed, effectively preventing the intrusion of external moisture and enhancing the sealing and waterproof performance of the wire.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 This utility model discloses a sealed and waterproof electrical connector wire, comprising an insulating wrapping layer 1, an inner wall of which is provided with a metal support mesh 2, and a puncture component 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metal support mesh 2. The puncture component 3 includes a support part 301, and the end of the support part 301 is integrally connected with a puncture part 302. The support part 301 penetrates the interior of a polyester fiber buffer layer 4. The inner cavity of the insulating wrapping layer 1 is filled with hot melt adhesive 6, and a supplementary sealing layer 5 is suspended on the outer wall of the hot melt adhesive 6. A metal wire 7 is disposed inside the hot melt adhesive 6.
[0024] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The present invention discloses a sealing and waterproof wire for an electrical connector. The supplementary sealing layer 5 includes a polyurea microcapsule shell 501, which is filled with a filler 502. An inner puncture block 503 is suspended inside the filler 502. The inner puncture block 503 is shaped as a triangular pyramid, the puncture part 302 is shaped as a cone, the support part 301 is shaped as a cylinder, and the length of the support part 301 is greater than the thickness of the polyester fiber buffer layer 4. The end of the support part 301 away from the puncture part 302 is welded to the interlacing point 203.
[0025] The filler 502 can be made of silicone sealant. Silicone sealant has excellent weather resistance and temperature resistance. It can maintain good elasticity and sealing performance in a temperature range of -60℃ to 200℃. After the silicone sealant is filled inside the polyurea microcapsule shell 501, when the polyurea microcapsule shell 501 breaks, the silicone sealant can fill the gaps in the wire well. The inner piercing block 503 is a triangular pyramidal particle made of metal. The filler 502 and the inner piercing block 503 are mixed together to form a mixture. The mixture containing metal particles and silicone sealant is placed in an ultrasonic cleaner or ultrasonic dispersion device. The metal particles are uniformly dispersed in the silicone sealant by ultrasonic vibration.
[0026] When preparing the oil phase, aliphatic isocyanates containing isocyanate groups and hydrophobic amines are dissolved in silicone sealant in a certain proportion. The silicone sealant with well dispersed metal particles is added as the base solvent. In this way, during the subsequent polymerization reaction, the metal particles will be encapsulated in the silicone sealant inside the polyurea microcapsules. At the same time, the mixture is stirred during the addition process to ensure that the metal particles do not precipitate due to gravity.
[0027] The supplementary sealing layer 5 is distributed inside the hot melt adhesive 6. At low temperatures, when the hot melt adhesive 6 becomes brittle and cracks appear due to bending force, the bending of the wire will also cause the metal support mesh 2 to bend, causing the piercing component 3 on its inner wall to move inward. The piercing part 302 at its end pierces the polyurea microcapsule shell 501, releasing the filler 502 inside the polyurea microcapsule shell 501 to repair and seal the cracks inside the hot melt adhesive 6. At the same time, even if the polyurea microcapsule shell 501 is not pierced by the external piercing part 302, when the supplementary sealing layer 5 is subjected to compressive force, its internal piercing block 503 may also pierce the polyurea microcapsule shell 501 from the inside, allowing the filler 502 to flow out and repair and seal the cracks, providing double protection.
[0028] Please see Figure 3The present invention relates to a sealing and waterproof wire material for an electrical connector. The metal support mesh 2 includes a first metal wire 201, a second metal wire 202, and an interlacing point 203. The metal support mesh 2 is woven from the first metal wire 201 and the second metal wire 202 in a mesh pattern. The interlacing point 203 is the intersection of the first metal wire 201 and the second metal wire 202.
[0029] Mesh weaving is a method of weaving multiple fibers, metal wires or other linear materials into a mesh structure by interlacing and wrapping them. This wire uses a mesh layer woven from metal wires inside the wire to support it and provide additional protection and performance enhancement.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 This utility model discloses a sealed and waterproof electrical connector wire. The metal conductor 7 is made of five or more strands of copper wire, and the gaps inside the metal conductor 7 are filled with hot melt adhesive 6. The hot melt adhesive 6 is used to fill the gaps between the metal conductors 7 to prevent water vapor from entering and improve the waterproof performance of the wire.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 This utility model discloses a sealed and waterproof electrical connector wire. A metal support mesh 2 is nested outside a polyester fiber buffer layer 4, and the gaps between the metal support mesh 2 and the interior of the polyester fiber buffer layer 4 are filled with hot melt adhesive 6. The polyester fiber buffer layer 4 has good flexibility and elasticity. When the wire is subjected to external impact or expands and contracts under temperature changes, the buffer layer can absorb energy and reduce the impact on the hot melt adhesive 6. In low-temperature environments, even if the hot melt adhesive 6 becomes brittle, the polyester fiber can buffer the external force and reduce the possibility of cracks in the hot melt adhesive 6. In high-temperature environments, the polyester fiber can also constrain the flow of the hot melt adhesive 6 to a certain extent and maintain its position in the gap.
