Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wiring technology, specifically to high-flexibility, high-strength copper-clad steel automotive wiring for commercial vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] As the automotive industry moves towards electrification and intelligentization, the reliability requirements for electrical systems in commercial vehicles have significantly increased. While traditional pure copper wires possess good conductivity, they have significant drawbacks in applications such as large commercial vehicles, engineering vehicles, and mining vehicles: firstly, the high density of pure copper increases the weight of the entire vehicle's wiring harness, affecting fuel economy and load-bearing capacity; secondly, frequent bending conditions can easily lead to metal fatigue, increasing the risk of wire breakage. Furthermore, the cost of pure copper wires accounts for a disproportionately high percentage of the total vehicle wiring harness cost, hindering the vehicle's economic efficiency.

[0003] In existing technologies, some solutions use aluminum conductors instead of copper, but aluminum has lower conductivity than copper, requiring a larger conductor cross-section to meet current-carrying requirements, which exacerbates the space occupation problem. Another solution improves performance by optimizing the purity of copper, but this is costly. Therefore, a high-flexibility, high-strength copper-clad steel automotive wire for commercial vehicles has been proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-flexibility, high-strength copper-clad steel automotive wire for commercial vehicles, comprising:

[0008] The conductor unit and the insulating sheath, wherein the insulating sheath covers the outside of the conductor unit, the conductor unit includes an inner stranded layer and an outer stranded layer, the outer stranded layer and the inner stranded layer are concentrically stranded, the outer stranded layer is stranded outside the inner stranded layer, the inner stranded layer is made of tensile metal wire stranded together, and the outer stranded layer is made of conductive metal wire stranded together.

[0009] The insulating sheath includes a first insulating layer, a metal braided mesh, a stress-relieving ring, and a second insulating layer.

[0010] Preferably, the outer stranded layer and the inner stranded layer are stranded in opposite directions, and the pitch of the inner stranded layer is twice the pitch of the outer stranded layer.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter ratio of the tensile metal wire to the conductive metal wire is 1:1.5.

[0012] Preferably, the metal braided mesh is disposed outside the first insulating layer, and the mesh density of the metal braided mesh is not less than 80%.

[0013] Preferably, the stress relief ring is disposed on the outside of the metal braided mesh, and the braiding angle of the metal braided mesh is 45°±5°.

[0014] Preferably, the second insulating layer is disposed outside the stress relief ring, and the stress relief ring has a corrugated structure, the height difference between the crests and troughs of which is 20%-30% of the thickness of the insulating sheath.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a high-flexibility, high-strength copper-clad steel automotive wire for commercial vehicles, which has the following advantages:

[0017] This invention achieves both good conductivity of the conductor unit and significantly improved tensile strength and flexibility by setting an inner stranded layer composed of tensile metal wires and an outer stranded layer composed of conductive metal wires, with the two stranded concentrically. This effectively solves the problem of metal fatigue fracture of traditional pure copper wires under frequent bending conditions, while reducing the weight of the wiring harness, improving the fuel economy and load capacity of the vehicle, and overcoming the problem of increased space occupation caused by the need to increase the cross-section of aluminum wires to meet current carrying requirements.

[0018] The outer insulating sheath design adopts a structure that includes a first insulating layer, a metal braided mesh, a stress relief ring, and a second insulating layer, achieving excellent insulation performance and mechanical protection. The metal braided mesh enhances the sheath's anti-interference and mechanical strength, while the stress relief ring effectively releases stress, preventing the wire harness from being damaged due to stress concentration and reducing the risk of wire breakage.

[0019] In addition, this design, while ensuring performance, also reduces costs and improves the vehicle's economy compared to solutions that optimize copper purity. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-flexibility, high-strength copper-clad steel automotive wire for commercial vehicles. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,include:

[0026] The conductor unit and the insulating sheath are covered by the conductor unit. The conductor unit includes an inner stranded layer and an outer stranded layer. The outer stranded layer is concentrically stranded with the inner stranded layer. The outer stranded layer is stranded outside the inner stranded layer. The inner stranded layer is made of tensile metal wire 1 stranded together, and the outer stranded layer is made of conductive metal wire 2 stranded together.

[0027] The insulating sheath includes a first insulating layer 3, a metal braided mesh 4, a stress relief ring 5, and a second insulating layer 6.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The outer stranded layer and the inner stranded layer are stranded in opposite directions, and the pitch of the inner stranded layer is twice that of the outer stranded layer.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The diameter ratio of the tensile metal wire 1 to the conductive metal wire 2 is 1:1.5.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The metal woven mesh 4 is disposed outside the first insulating layer 3, and the mesh density of the metal woven mesh 4 is not less than 80%.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stress relief ring 5 is set on the outside of the metal braided mesh 4, and the braiding angle of the metal braided mesh 4 is 45°±5°.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second insulating layer 6 is disposed outside the stress relief ring 5. The stress relief ring 5 has a corrugated structure, and the height difference between its crest and trough is 20%-30% of the thickness of the insulating sheath.

[0033] This solution: The inner stranded layer is made of tensile metal wire 1 twisted together. The tensile metal wire 1 is made of copper-clad steel. This material combines the conductivity of copper and the tensile strength of steel, which not only ensures good conductivity, but also enhances the tensile strength of the cable.

[0034] The outer stranded layer is composed of conductive metal wires 2 twisted together. The conductive metal wires 2 are also made of copper-clad steel to achieve good conductivity.

[0035] Both the first insulating layer 3 and the second insulating layer 6 are made of high-performance polyvinyl chloride material, which has good insulation performance and chemical corrosion resistance. The first insulating layer 3 is tightly attached to the outside of the conductor unit, providing the first layer of insulation protection for the conductor unit and preventing current leakage and external interference.

[0036] The metal braided mesh 4 is set outside the first insulation layer 3 and is made of tin-plated copper wire. The high-density braided structure can effectively shield external electromagnetic interference and ensure that the automotive wiring harness works stably in a complex electromagnetic environment.

[0037] The stress relief ring 5 is located on the outside of the metal braided mesh 4 and has a corrugated structure. The corrugated structure can act as a buffer when the cable is bent, effectively releasing stress, preventing the cable from being damaged due to stress concentration, and extending the service life of the cable.
