[0002] As the main network of automotive circuits, automotive wiring harnesses carry the transmission of vehicle power and signals, making them a crucial component of automobiles. The cost of their wires accounts for over 30% of the total cost of the wiring harness. However, existing automotive wiring harnesses suffer from problems such as high manufacturing costs and odor.

[0006] However, the aforementioned automotive stitching cannot reach 0.3mm. 2Small wire diameter makes it unsuitable for use in new energy vehicle seats, rearview mirrors, dashboards, doors, and windows. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a small-diameter, low-odor automotive wire. Through a specific conductor structure design and a special insulation layer, the cost and odor of the automotive wire are reduced. The automotive wire has a small diameter and high quality, far exceeding the German standard of 0.35mm. 2 Require.

[0008] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] This utility model provides a small-diameter, low-odor automotive wire, which includes a conductor layer and an insulation layer arranged sequentially from the inside out; the conductor layer has a structure including a type A 7-strand copper wire stranded structure or a type B 16-strand copper wire stranded structure; the insulation layer is an insulation layer formed of QCJ-105A insulation material.

[0010] The small-diameter, low-odor automotive wire described in this invention refers to a conductor layer with a cross-sectional area of ​​0.3 mm². 2 The conductor layer structure includes either a type A structure with 7 stranded copper wires or a type B structure with 16 stranded copper wires. The copper wires can be annealed soft copper monofilaments. The type A structure with 7 stranded copper wires improves the concentricity of the cable insulation extrusion, overcomes the conductor damage caused by "fine wire" cutting in wire harness factories, improves the stability of cable current or signal control transmission under vibration conditions, and extends the service life of automotive wiring harnesses. The type B structure with 16 stranded copper wires enhances the flexibility and durability of automotive wiring harnesses. The insulation layer consists of an insulation layer formed from QCJ-105A insulation material. After being tested at 80℃ for 2 hours and then at 60℃, the odor test result is no greater than level 3.5, solving the odor problem of automotive wiring harnesses. Furthermore, the low-odor automotive wiring harness in this utility model can achieve a thickness of 0.3mm. 2 The small-diameter, low-odor automotive wire meets practical application requirements through current-carrying temperature rise and smoke curve testing, filling a gap in the German standard automotive wire specifications. This reduces cable procurement costs by over 20%, providing users with the best cost-performance solution. The small-diameter, low-odor automotive wire described in this invention has a current-carrying capacity of no less than 11A at 0℃ and no less than 5A at 85℃, meeting practical application conditions. The conductor layer, after ultrasonic welding, has a tear strength greater than 25N, far exceeding the German standard of 0.35mm. 2 Require.

[0011] Preferably, the outer diameter of the small-diameter, low-odor automotive wire is 1.29 to 1.35 mm, for example, it can be 1.29 mm, 1.295 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.31 mm, 13.2 mm, 13.4 mm or 1.35 mm, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0012] The small-diameter, low-odor automotive wire of this invention has an outer diameter of 1.29–1.35 mm, which can meet the airtightness and waterproofness test requirements of various wire harness manufacturers in the market without changing their existing wire harness cutting equipment, matching metal terminals, and waterproof sealing accessories.

[0013] Both the Type A (7-wire stranded) and Type B (16-wire stranded) structures of this invention utilize a multi-hole threading layering tooling mold for stranding, improving the tightness and roundness of the conductor layer stranding. The maximum production line speed is 1650 m / min, with no single wire breakage during insulation extrusion. The inner wall of the multi-hole threading layering tooling mold is made of ceramic material, reducing the coefficient of friction.

The production efficiency of the Type A (7-wire stranded) structure can reach up to 75 m / min, and the production efficiency of the Type B (16-wire stranded) structure can reach up to 80 m / min.

[0014] Preferably, the type A 7-copper-wire stranded structure includes a 1+6 layered stranded structure, which improves the insulation concentricity to 95.6%.

[0015] Preferably, the diameter of a single wire in the type A seven-wire twisted structure is 0.20 to 0.25 mm, for example, it can be 0.20 mm, 0.21 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.23 mm, 0.235 mm, 0.24 mm or 0.25 mm, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0016] Preferably, the wiring pitch in the type A 7-copper-wire stranded structure is 3.0 to 4.0 mm, for example, it can be 3.0 mm, 3.2 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.4 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.7 mm or 4.0 mm, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0017] The air pressure for feeding the A-type 7-copper-wire stranded structure described in this utility model is 0.09 to 0.15 MPa, for example, it can be 0.09 MPa, 0.095 MPa, 0.1 MPa, 0.12 MPa, 0.14 MPa, 0.145 MPa or 0.15 MPa, etc., but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0018] The twisting method is left-handed, and the winding tension is 14-18N, for example, it can be 14N, 15N, 16N, 16.5N, 17N, 17.5N or 18N, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0020] Preferably, the type B 16-wire stranded copper wire structure includes a 5+11 layered stranded structure, which has a flexural dynamic life cycle that is superior to the German standard 0.35mm. 2 The improvement of 22% enhances the stability of cable current or signal control transmission under vibration conditions and extends the service life of automotive wiring harnesses.

[0024] In this invention, the preferred B-type 16-copper-wire stranded structure has a wiring pitch of 3.0–4.0 mm to balance the flexibility of the automotive wiring harness with structural stability. An excessively large wiring pitch will increase the internal gaps of the stranded conductors, reduce the overall flexibility of the cable, and increase the risk of breakage. An excessively small wiring pitch will compress the internal gaps of the conductors, increase the friction between the stranded wires, which may lead to the breakage of a single conductor, and also increase the difficulty of stranding, affecting production efficiency and finished product quality.

For example, it can be 0.07 MPa, 0.075 MPa, 0.08 MPa, 0.09 MPa, 0.1 MPa, 0.12 MPa, or 0.13 MPa, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0026] The twisting method is left-handed, and the take-up tension is 12-16N, such as 12N, 13N, 14N, 15N, 15.5N or 16N, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0027] The engagement torque is 4500 to 4700 N / min, for example, it can be 4500 N / min, 4550 N / min, 4570 N / min, 4600 N / min, 4640 N / min, 4680 N / min or 4700 N / min, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.

[0028] Preferably, the thickness of the insulating layer is 0.25 to 0.35 mm, for example, it can be 0.25 mm, 0.26 mm, 0.27 mm, 0.28 mm, 0.29 mm, 0.30 mm or 0.35 mm, but it is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values ​​within this range are also applicable.
