Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic shielding materials technology, and specifically discloses a sleeve structure with memory curling function. Background Technology

[0002] A sleeve is a protective sleeve for a specific object. There are many types of sleeves, and they are used in various industries. Shielding sleeves are sleeves that provide electromagnetic shielding for objects. They are widely used in electronic products, AI devices, and wiring harnesses for new energy vehicles. They are especially suitable for wiring harnesses that provide protection and shielding, and mainly serve to shield signals, buffer, and ground.

[0003] Existing sleeves have some shortcomings in use; for example, in some scenarios where precise installation and fixing of sleeves are required, the installation process of traditional sleeves is cumbersome and requires a lot of time and manpower; moreover, when sleeves need to adapt to installation spaces of different shapes and sizes, their flexibility is poor and it is difficult to meet diverse needs; in addition, during transportation and storage, sleeves are easily squeezed and deformed, affecting their performance and service life.

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0027] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the component or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0028] Example

[0029] To address the problems of traditional sleeve installation being cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive; and its inability to adapt to installation spaces of different shapes and sizes, resulting in poor flexibility and difficulty in meeting diverse needs, reference was made to... Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a sleeve structure with memory curling function, including an elastomer 10 with memory properties;

[0030] The elastomer 10 is preferably a fabric material formed of polyurethane or PA plastic;

[0031] The elastomer 10 can maintain its current posture after being rolled up to form a sleeve structure. For example, the sleeve structure formed after the elastomer 10 is rolled up is either square or circular. Before the elastomer 10 is rolled up, the wire harness of the relevant equipment should be placed in the middle of the elastomer 10. After that, the operator rolls up the elastomer 10 and wraps the entire wire harness. In this way, the wire harness can be electromagnetically shielded.

[0032] The outer surface of the elastomer 10 is provided with a conductive layer 20, which is preferably one of copper foil, aluminum foil or conductive cloth; it can achieve the function of conductive grounding.

[0033] The outer surface of the conductive layer 20 is provided with a protective coating 30, which is preferably an organosilicon coating. Based on this protective coating 30, the elastomer 10 provided in this application can achieve self-protection when it is coiled to electromagnetically shield the wire harness, thus meeting the needs of use in various harsh environments.

[0034] To ensure the structural stability of the entire sleeve and prevent electromagnetic signal leakage after wrapping the wire harness, this application attaches one end of the elastomer 10 to the inside of the other end after curling and fixes it through the connecting structure 40, which can complete the sealing after the sleeve is curled.

[0035] refer to Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the connection structure 40 of this application is a double-sided adhesive tape 41. When the wire harness is wrapped and the mounting process is started, the operator attaches one adhesive side of the double-sided adhesive tape 41 to the inside of one end of the elastomer 10 and the other adhesive side to the protective coating 30 corresponding to the other end of the elastomer 10.

[0036] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment, the connection structure 40 is a Velcro structure 42. The Velcro structure here includes a snap bottom 421 located on the inner side of one end of the elastic body 10 and a snap surface 422 located on the other end of the elastic body 10 corresponding to the protective coating 30. When the wire harness is wrapped and the mounting process begins, the operator simply attaches the snap surface 422 to the snap bottom 421.

[0037] In addition to the two connection structures 40 mentioned above, those skilled in the art can also use other types of connection structures 40, as long as the wire harness is wrapped in the elastic body 10 and the attachment positions at both ends are fixed, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] In addition to the structure described above, in one embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 4 As shown, this application also extends an elastomer 10 from one end of the conductive layer 20 and attaches an adhesive 50 to its inner surface. The adhesive 50 is either an insulating adhesive or a conductive adhesive. The adhesive 50 is designed to adapt to the needs of different installation spaces. When the wire harness wrapped in the sleeve needs to be fixed, the adhesive 50 can be attached to the corresponding position. If insulation is required at the position, insulating adhesive is selected, and if conductivity is required at the position, conductive adhesive is selected.
