Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of conductive connection technology, specifically to a strip-shaped conductive bus terminal and a conductive ring, which can be flexibly formed into conductive ring products of various specified structural shapes. Background Technology
[0002] In products such as rotary connectors (e.g., slip rings) and motors, conductive rings are a key structural component for achieving electrical signal connections.
[0003] Traditional conductive ring components are usually rigid and fixed-shape structural parts. For example, the skeleton that serves as the body of the conductor is generally made of metal or plastic through processes such as turning and milling. The conductor (such as conductive fiber) is then fixed by grooving, drilling, welding and other methods on the skeleton.
[0004] Therefore, traditional conductive rings typically suffer from the following insurmountable drawbacks: For example, their form is fixed as a rigid ring, lacking flexibility and unable to adapt to flexible conductive contacts on non-standard curved surfaces, making them unsuitable for applications requiring conforming to irregular curved surfaces or dynamic deformation. Furthermore, to ensure structural strength, the frame is usually bulky, resulting in large size and weight, limited precision, hindering miniaturization and weight reduction of equipment. Moreover, the cumulative assembly error of multiple parts is significant, affecting the accuracy of the conductor's position. Additionally, traditional conductive rings require multiple machining and assembly steps, leading to cumbersome production processes, high costs, and low production efficiency – a major disadvantage.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a conductive ring technology that is easy to process and can be easily bent into various specified structural shapes. Utility Model Content
[0006] The primary objective of this application is to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art and provide a novel strip-shaped conductive bus terminal and conductive ring. The strip-shaped conductive bus terminal uses an integral molding technology to create a "planar intermediate with a pre-defined final shape potential." In a two-dimensional planar state, this intermediate can be easily and cost-effectively manufactured to produce all microscopic positioning features (such as the mounting part for fixing the conductor), enabling easy installation and precise and reliable fixing of the conductor. In a three-dimensional usage state, it can release the structural shape potential through its internally designed flexible features (such as the connecting bridge part), making it easy to flexibly and accurately transform into ring-shaped, arc-shaped, or curved structures according to the required shape of the conductive ring.
[0007] This application provides the following technical solution: A strip-shaped conductive bus terminal includes: a plurality of conductors and a strip structure integrally formed from a flexible conductive strip, wherein the strip structure has a plurality of connecting bridge portions and a plurality of conductor mounting portions spaced apart on the strip body, the conductors are fixedly mounted in the conductor mounting portions, the conductors are used to flexibly contact the part to be electrically connected to achieve electrical connection, and the strip structure on which the conductors are mounted serves as a conductive bus terminal with conductive rings.
[0008] Preferably, the strip structure is based on a specified structure in which the plurality of connecting bridge portions can be bent into a closed or open conductive ring, the specified structure including at least one of the following shapes: circular, elliptical, polygonal, fan-shaped, semi-circular, straight, zigzag, wavy.
[0009] Preferably, when the strip structure is bent into a designated arc-shaped closed or semi-closed structure, the direction of the central axis of the conductor is parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the central axis of the arc-shaped designated structure.
[0010] Preferably, the strip structure is provided with a plurality of connecting bridge portions and a plurality of conductor mounting portions arranged in a single row, in two parallel rows, or in three or more parallel rows to form a multi-row terminal block structure.
[0011] Preferably, when the strip structure is provided with two or more rows of parallel connecting bridge portions and multiple conductor mounting portions, the parallel connecting bridge portions are staggered and / or the multiple conductor mounting portions are staggered. And / or, when the strip structure is a multi-row structure with two or more parallel rows of the plurality of connecting bridge portions and the plurality of conductor mounting portions, the multi-row structure is a structure integrally processed or a structure formed by fixing a single row structure side by side.
[0012] Preferably, the conductor is fixed in the conductor mounting part by at least one of the following methods: welding, bonding, crimping, snap-fitting, or interference fit.
[0013] A conductive ring includes: a strip-shaped conductive bus terminal as described in any one of the claims of this application.
[0014] Preferably, the method further includes: a plurality of bridging portions of the strip conductive bus terminals are pressed onto the conductive support, so that the strip conductive bus terminals are fixed relative to the conductive support.
[0015] Preferably, the conductive support is provided with a plurality of bent portions, which are used to fasten onto the bridging portion of the strip conductive bus terminal, so that the strip conductive bus terminal is fixed relative to the conductive support.
[0016] Preferably, the bent portion is pressed against the bridging portion of the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal from the outer ring direction to the inner ring direction of the conductive bracket, or the bent portion is pressed against the bridging portion of the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal from the inner ring direction to the outer ring direction of the conductive bracket. And / or, the bent portion is a structural part integrally machined from the body of the conductive bracket, or the bent portion is an additional structural component fixedly disposed on the body of the conductive bracket; And / or, the plurality of bent portions are all distributed at the same radius, or a portion of the plurality of bent portions are distributed at a first radius and another portion is distributed at a second radius; And / or, the end of the buckle is further provided with a bend, and after the buckle is fastened to the bridging portion of the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal, the bend is pressed against the side of the bridging portion of the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal to press the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal. And / or, the conductive support is provided with a first through hole, and the strip conductive bus terminal is provided with a corresponding second through hole, and the first through hole and the second through hole are fastened by rivets.
[0017] Preferably, as described in any one of the conductive rings in this application, the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal is further fixedly installed to the conductive bracket by at least one of the following methods: welding, bonding, pressing, snapping, interference fit, or fastener fixing.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this application has one or more of the following significant advantages: On the one hand, the processing and production standard has shifted from "assembly after manufacturing" to "assembly upon forming": the most time-consuming precision positioning work has been transferred from three-dimensional space to two-dimensional plane, which greatly reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost; Secondly, it endows the shape of the conductive ring with "programmability": by changing the flexible distribution and bending method of the connecting bridge, the same basic strip structure can be derived into circles, ellipses, polygons and even arbitrary curved surfaces, realizing a high degree of design freedom and product versatility. In three aspects, it provides an ideal carrier for automated production: the strip form is compatible with roll-to-roll production processes, and can even be further combined with mechanical positioning structures, so that the entire process of feeding, conductor assembly and bending can be fully automated, significantly improving efficiency and consistency. In four aspects, the overall performance of the product has been improved: the one-piece molding structure avoids assembly interfaces and has high reliability; the precise positioning of the conductors ensures the stability of electrical performance; and the flexible foundation adapts to a wider range of application scenarios.

[0024] It should also be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application.

[0025] Additionally, specific details are provided in the following description to facilitate a thorough understanding of the examples. However, those skilled in the art will understand that practice can be carried out without these specific details.
[0026] Traditional conductive ring structures are basically based on a fixed-shape skeleton design, which causes many disadvantages in manufacturing. Moreover, when applying conductive skeletons to different conductive ring applications, it is difficult to quickly adapt to the needs of actual scenarios, which restricts the improvement of production efficiency and keeps production costs high.
[0027] To address the challenges in production and use, an in-depth analysis of the aforementioned pain points in the industry chain revealed that the root of the problem lies in treating "structural forming" and "conductor fixing" as two separate process steps.
[0028] Therefore, this application focuses on whether the two can be integrated in advance onto a basic component, and whether the problem can be fundamentally solved through an intermediate product with "shape preset capability" and "high-precision positioning capability".
[0029] Based on this, the concept of this application shifted to finding a solution that is integrally molded, flexible and deformable, and has its own precise positioning function. This breaks away from the mindset of the traditional fixed shape "skeleton" of conductive rings and turns to a new technical path such as "flexible strip substrate + deformable connecting bridge + precise mounting part".
[0030] The implementation of the technical concept of this application will be illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through multiple embodiments.
[0031] Example 1: Strip conductive bus terminal refer to Figures 1a to 16b As illustrated, this embodiment provides various strip-shaped conductive bus terminals.
[0032] The strip-shaped conductive bus terminal may include: a plurality of conductors 20 and a strip structure integrally formed from a flexible conductive strip, wherein the strip structure has a plurality of connecting bridge portions 103 and a plurality of conductor mounting portions 104 spaced apart on the strip body, the conductors 20 are fixedly installed in the conductor mounting portions 104, the conductors 20 are used to flexibly contact the part to be electrically connected (such as a motor shaft, adapter shaft, etc.) to achieve electrical connection, and the strip structure with the conductors 20 installed serves as a conductive bus terminal of a conductive ring.
[0033] In some examples, the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal can be used as a straight conductive ring, in which case the specified structure of the conductive ring is a straight strip shape, which is convenient for application in strip conductive ring scenarios.
[0034] In some examples, the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal can be bent into a flexible conductive ring, and the specified structure includes at least one of the following shapes: circular, elliptical, polygonal, fan-shaped, semi-circular, straight, zigzag, and wavy.
[0035] In applications where the strip structure is bent into various shapes, it can be based on a specified structure in which multiple connecting bridge portions 103 can be bent into closed or open conductive rings. For example, refer to Figures 6a to 10c The terminals of this strip-shaped conductive bus can be formed into a ring shape (e.g., Figure 6a (Illustrative image) or arc-shaped (e.g.) Figure 10a (Illustrative) Conductive ring structure.
[0036] In some examples, when the strip structure is bent into a specified arc-shaped closed or semi-closed structure, the direction of the central axis of the conductor 20 can be parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the central axis of the specified arc-shaped structure, depending on the application requirements of the conductive ring.
[0037] For example, Figure 6a The central axis of the conductive material 20 is parallel to the central axis of the designated structure of the circular conductive ring; for example... Figure 7a The direction of the central axis of the conductive body 20 is perpendicular to the direction of the central axis of the specified structure of the circular conductive ring.
[0038] It should be noted that although the embodiments of this application only show the parallel or perpendicular cases, those skilled in the art can form other angle cases based on the description of this application without creative process. Therefore, the central axis direction of the conductor 20 in the strip conductive bus terminal of this application and the central axis direction of the circular conductive ring specified structure can form other angle cases. For example, in the conductive ring specified structure that is bent to form a hole shape, the central axis direction of the conductor 20 and the central axis direction of the circular conductive ring specified structure form an acute angle or an obtuse angle.
[0039] In some examples, the axes of the conductors are parallel to each other (e.g.) Figure 1a , Figure 6a (e.g., the shape shown in the diagram) or at a predetermined angle (e.g.) Figure 7a , Figure 8a (The shape is shown in the diagram). It should be noted that the included angle can be acute or obtuse; there is no limitation here.
[0040] In some examples, conductor 20 may be in flexible contact with the axis of rotation in the direction of the center (e.g., Figure 7a (Illustrative image) or it can be in flexible contact with the axis of rotation away from the center (e.g.) Figure 8a (Illustrative image) or it can be in flexible contact with the circumferential plane of the rotating shaft (e.g.) Figure 6a (Illustration) etc.
[0041] In some examples, the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal has a single row of multiple connecting bridge portions and multiple conductor mounting portions (e.g., ...) arranged on the strip structure. Figure 1a (Illustration)
[0042] In some examples, the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal has multiple connecting bridge portions arranged in two or more parallel rows and multiple conductor mounting portions (e.g., ...) on the strip structure. Figure 5a (Illustration)
[0043] In some examples, the strip-shaped conductive bus terminal has only two rows of parallel conductor mounting portions (e.g., ...). Figure 2a (Illustrative image), or to provide three or more rows of conductor mounting portions arranged in parallel (e.g.) Figure 3a (Illustration)
[0044] In some examples, when the strip structure is provided with two or more parallel rows of the plurality of connecting bridge portions and the plurality of conductor mounting portions, the parallel connecting bridge portions are staggered and / or the plurality of conductor mounting portions are staggered.
[0045] For example, Figure 5a In the schematic three-row structure, the connecting bridges are staggered and the conductor mounting sections are also staggered.
[0046] In some examples, in multi-row strip conductive busbar terminals, each row can be designed in parallel using a single row structure, or it can be a multi-row structure formed by integral processing. When multiple single rows are used to form a multi-row structure, the multiple single rows can be assembled into a multi-row structure through any one or more methods such as bonding, welding (e.g., laser welding), snap-fitting, or fastener fixing.
[0047] In some examples, the method of fixing the conductor to the mounting part can be any one or a combination of the following fixing methods: welding, bonding, crimping, snap-fitting, and interference fit. Among them, welding can be carried out using laser penetration welding technology, while bonding, crimping, snap-fitting, and interference fit methods can usually be combined with the design structure of the mounting part (see the examples below for details).
[0048] In some examples, when the strip conductor terminal is bent into a closed or near-closed shape, the end-to-end connection portion 101 can be connected together or have a gap.
[0049] Example 2: Conductive Ring This embodiment provides a conductive ring, which may specifically include any of the strip-shaped conductive bus terminals described in the above examples, and the specified structure of the conductive ring is formed by structural deformation of the bus terminals.
[0050] For example, the aforementioned Figures 1a to 5a Conductive rings forming a strip-like structure; for example, the aforementioned Figures 6a to 9a Conductive rings forming a circular structure; for example, the aforementioned Figure 10a Conductive rings that form an arc shape, etc.
[0051] In some implementations, the conductive ring can be composed of a single row of strip-shaped conductive bus terminals or multiple rows of strip-shaped conductive bus terminals. Regardless of whether it is a single-row or multi-row structure, the shape of the conductive ring can be achieved by bending the strip-shaped conductive bus terminals, or a section can be cut from a long strip-shaped conductive bus terminal and deformed to obtain the conductive ring.
[0052] In some implementations, when multiple rows of strip-shaped conductive terminals form a conductive ring, the conductors between each row can be designed to be staggered or not staggered, thereby forming the conductive ring structure required in the application scenario through staggered or not staggered design.
[0053] In some implementations, reference Figures 11a to 16b The conductive ring may also include a conductive bracket 30 for supporting the aforementioned strip-shaped conductive bus terminals, that is, the conductive bracket 30 is used to fix the strip-shaped conductive bus terminals.
[0054] In some embodiments, the conductive support 30 can be an annular skeleton (e.g., Figures 10a to 15a (as shown in the illustration), it can also be a strip structure (e.g.) Figure 16a (Illustration).
[0055] Furthermore, even when using a ring-shaped frame, the conductive support 30 can be configured in various structural forms, as detailed in the references provided. Figures 10a to 15a The related illustrations are not elaborated upon. It should be noted that as long as those skilled in the art implement the relevant structures by simple modifications based on the description of this application, that is, the structural form of the conductive support is not limited to the schematic structure shown in the illustrations of this application, as long as the structural form can install the strip conductive bus terminal, it should fall within the protection scope of this application.
[0056] In some embodiments, the strip-shaped conductive bus terminals are fixed relative to the conductive support 30 by a snap-fit method.
[0057] In some examples, several bridging portions of the strip conductive bus terminal may be pressed onto the conductive support, or several mounting portions of the strip conductive bus terminal may be pressed onto the conductive support, thereby fixing the strip conductive bus terminal and the conductive support relative to each other through the fastening method.
[0058] In some implementations, reference Figures 17a to 17h As shown in the diagram, the conductive support 30 is provided with a plurality of bent portions 301, wherein the bent portions 301 are used to fasten onto the bridging portion of the strip conductive bus terminal, so that the strip conductive bus terminal is fixed relative to the conductive support.
[0059] refer to Figure 17d and Figure 17e As shown, the bent portion 301 can be configured as an L-shaped structure, so as to be pressed onto the bridging portion of the strip conductive bus terminal in a planar manner.
[0060] refer to Figures 17i to 17k The end of the buckle portion 301 may also be provided with a bend portion 3011, so that after the buckle portion 301 is fastened to the bridging portion 103 of the strip conductive bus terminal, the bend portion 3011 can be pressed against the side of the bridging portion of the strip conductive bus terminal, further limiting and pressing the strip conductive bus terminal, so that the strip conductive bus terminal and the conductor are more secure.
[0061] In some embodiments, the bent portion 301 is a structural part integrally machined from the body of the conductive support 30 (e.g., Figure 17a , 17f (e.g., 17h, etc.), and / or the bend 301 is an additional structural component (e.g., fixedly mounted on the body of the conductive support 30) Figure 17g , 17h (e.g., as indicated).
[0062] In some embodiments, the plurality of bent portions 301 may be evenly distributed at positions with the same radius (e.g., Figure 17a , 17f (e.g., schematic diagram), or a portion of several bent parts 301 are distributed at the position of the first radius and another portion is distributed at the position of the second radius (e.g., Figure 17h (The double-row bent buckle design). It should be noted that this example can also be for multi-row structures (such as the aforementioned...). Figure 15a The double-row structure has a bent buckle design, meaning the bent buckle can be designed to fasten and press the multi-row structure.
[0063] In some implementations, the connection between the conductive elements and the strip conductive bus terminals can be completed by riveting.
[0064] refer to Figures 17l to 17m As shown in the diagram, the conductive support 30 is provided with a first through hole, and the strip conductive bus terminal is provided with a second through hole. The first through hole and the second through hole are fastened together by rivets 40.
[0065] In some implementations, the fixing method between the strip conductive bus terminal and the conductive support can be any one or more of the following fixing installation methods: welding (such as laser welding), bonding, crimping, snap-fitting, interference fit, and fastener fixing.
[0066] This application also provides related example structural forms of various conductive strips (i.e., strip structures) in the aforementioned strip conductive bus terminals.
[0067] Example 3: Basic Structure and "Two-Dimensional to Three-Dimensional" Design and Manufacturing Case This embodiment demonstrates the most basic structural form and core working principle of this application.
[0068] To address the issues of rigidity, bulkiness, and complex manufacturing of traditional conductive ring structures, this application proposes a "planar prefabrication, spatial forming" production strategy. Specifically, a flexible conductive strip structure containing all functional elements is first fabricated on a two-dimensional plane. Then, during the final formation of the actual conductive ring structure, the strip structure's inherent flexibility allows for a flexible, rapid, and precise transformation into the actual three-dimensional conductive ring structure.
[0069] Reference Figures 18a to 24 In this embodiment, the conductive fixing device is made by precision stamping and integral forming of a flexible metal strip (such as a beryllium copper alloy with good elasticity and conductivity).
[0070] In practice, the conductive fixing device includes an integrally formed strip structure, which has the following parts: a fixing strip body 102, a connecting bridge part 103, and a mounting part 104.
[0071] The main body 102 of the fixing belt serves as a stable skeleton after shape transformation. In its planar state, it provides rigid support for easy processing and handling; after being bent into a three-dimensional shape (such as a ring shape), it becomes the main load-bearing structure of the ring. In practice, its width W1 and thickness T1 can be calculated and determined according to the mechanical strength requirements of the target ring.
[0072] Connecting bridge 103: Key to achieving "controlled bending". By designing its width (denoted as W2) to be much smaller than the width of the fixing belt body 102 (denoted as W1) (for example, setting W2 to 0.1-0.7 times W1), a series of pre-defined, spaced flexible connecting parts are artificially created. Therefore, when a bending moment is applied to the belt structure, deformation occurs preferentially and uniformly in these connecting bridges 103, rather than at random other locations.
[0073] The design of the connecting bridge 103 can achieve one or more of the following effects: (a) The bending process requires a small and stable force; (b) The formed ring structure has good roundness and high shape consistency; (c) The position of the mounting part 104 will not shift due to uncontrollable deformation.
[0074] Mounting part 104: Its core is to reduce the precise positioning problem in three-dimensional space to a two-dimensional plane. When stamping this strip structure, the positions of all mounting parts 104 relative to the fixed strip body 102 are formed simultaneously in the same process and under the same reference. This means that the relative positions between these mounting parts 104 can have extremely high precision, and this precision depends only on the precision of the mold (e.g., up to the micrometer level), which is far higher than the precision of assembling individual parts onto a three-dimensional skeleton (basically several millimeters or more).
[0075] Furthermore, when forming the required shape of the conductive ring, the strip structure is bent along its length. Due to the flexible hinge action of the connecting bridge 103, each segment of the fixed strip body 102 rotates around a virtual center, eventually connecting end to end to form a stable ring structure. At this time, the mounting part 104, "suspended" by the connecting bridge 103, is precisely "placed" at a predetermined position on the circumference. A conductor (such as a bundle of conductive fibers) can pass through each mounting part 104 in sequence, thereby being precisely fixed on an ideal circular path. The entire process achieves a seamless transformation from a "high-precision planar matrix" to a "high-precision three-dimensional structure".
[0076] Example 4: Mounting section housing structure and its "non-destructive guidance and stable clamping" This embodiment focuses on how the mounting part 104 specifically achieves the fixation of the conductor. Its concept originates from solving the problems of damage risk and fixation reliability of conductors (especially thin-diameter or fragile fiber bundles, wires, etc.) during the assembly process.
[0077] To address the challenges of quickly and non-destructively introducing conductors into a confined installation space, and to ensure their secure fixation under harsh conditions such as vibration and temperature changes, this application provides an integrated "guiding-accommodating-clamping" functional design for the installation space.
[0078] refer to Figure 18d As shown, this application designs some preferred structures on the mounting section 104.
[0079] For example, seamless one-piece molded channel 105 (i.e., receiving structure): Considering that there may be burrs or seams at the opening in the conventional solution, which may easily scratch the wire, this application adopts a seamless hole design based on the above concept of one-piece molding design and production, which eliminates this risk from the root. For example, by designing precision pins on the mold, a channel with a smooth inner wall is formed synchronously with the strip stamping, which protects the conductor and ensures the uniform distribution of clamping force.
[0080] For example, the transition port 106 is a key design element that directly embodies the concept of "non-destructive guidance." Its core idea is to use geometric transitions to gradually guide and converge macroscopic assembly actions, which may contain deviations, to microscopic, precise alignment. Preferably, a smooth transition can be provided. It should be noted that transition ports 106 can be provided at both ends of the channel 105.
[0081] For example, smooth transition surfaces: see Figure 18d The schematic cross-sectional view shows that the inlet transition port 106 is set as a curved surface, which can disperse the inlet force and avoid stress concentration during the guiding process.
[0082] For example, a multi-stage transition structure: A multi-stage structure is used to create a better transition entry structure. For instance, the first-stage conical segment (45°-60° taper angle) is responsible for wide-range correction and initial guidance, capturing even if the robot-held wire has a large positional deviation; the second-stage conical segment (30°-45° taper angle) is responsible for fine alignment, further calibrating the wire to coincide with the axis of the receiving structure (i.e., channel 105). This two-stage guidance mechanism, "coarse first, fine later," is particularly suitable for high-speed automated assembly, significantly reducing the requirements for docking accuracy and improving the assembly success rate.
[0083] For example, structural designs such as rounded corners (e.g., corner radius of 0.1mm-2.5mm) and low roughness (Ra≤0.8μm) better achieve the "non-destructive" guidance installation requirements, remove possible microscopic sharp edges, reduce guidance damage, and improve product reliability.
[0084] For example, the elastic deformation zone enables "easy installation and fixation" and "stable clamping," improving the reliability of conductor fixation. For example, based on the elastic deformation zone, it is no longer necessary to rely on specific external measures, such as glue or clips, but to utilize the material elasticity of the mounting part 104 itself to generate active clamping force.
[0085] In practice, by designing slots or locally thinning the sidewalls of the mounting portion 104, a region capable of elastic deformation under stress is created. When the conductor is pressed in, this region can be elastically expanded, and the internal stress of the material continuously applies a radial clamping force to the conductor, forming a reliable frictional fixation. This dynamic elastic clamping is more adaptable to temperature changes and minor vibrations than a static interference fit. Alternatively, the mounting portion 104 can be designed as a structure with elastic deformation capabilities, allowing the tooling to deform the mounting portion 104 and clamp the conductor. For example, the tooling can press the mounting portion 104, causing deformation of the internal housing structure to clamp the conductor.
[0086] During implementation, different optimization designs can be made for the shape of the mounting part 104, for example... Figures 19a to 19cThe illustration shows that the top of the mounting part 104 has a triangular-like top structure in its vertical cross-section, and Figures 20a to 20c The illustration shows that the top of the mounting part 104 has a semi-circular top structure in the vertical section.
[0087] Example 5: Installation unit arranged in multiple rows, ensuring "spatial wiring density and flexibility" The aforementioned example illustrates a design using a single-row mounting section, where each mounting section secures only a single conductor. In applications requiring special electrical signal transmission connections, such as differential pair conductor fixing designs or multi-phase electrical signal connections, achieving compact, multi-channel cabling in three-dimensional space without significantly increasing structural complexity becomes particularly important.
[0088] Therefore, this example uses multiple rows of conductive fixing parts arranged in the mounting section.
[0089] refer to Figures 23 to 24 This embodiment illustrates that the core concept is to pre-define the wiring relationships in three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional plane: by designing the mounting parts 104 to be arranged in multiple parallel rows (e.g.) Figure 23 It is a double row. Figure 24 (For three rows), thus, before bending and forming, the arrangement path of conductors at different radii or axial positions on the future three-dimensional ring has been defined on the plane.
[0090] It should be noted that the ingenuity of this example lies in its utilization of the high precision advantages of planar machining to solve the problem of winding multi-layer coils in three-dimensional space in a single operation. For example, for Figure 23 The double-row design allows for the simultaneous forming of two rows of mounting parts in the stamping die, ensuring that the concentricity and spacing accuracy between the two rows are far superior to those achieved by manual winding or step-by-step assembly.
[0091] It should be noted that the mounting parts arranged at intervals on the fixed belt in this application may each have only one arrangement of channels (such as single row, double row, three rows or more), or different mounting parts may have the same or different arrangements of channels. For example, some mounting parts may only have a single row of channels, some mounting parts may have a double row of channels, and some mounting parts may have a three-row of channels, etc.
[0092] This application also provides some preferred structural designs for the arrangement of conductors.
[0093] For example, the flexibility of wiring is further expanded regarding axial orientation configuration. For instance, when the axes of the two rows of mounting structures are parallel (e.g., both radially oriented), two concentric conductors are fixed. Alternatively, when the two rows of axes form a predetermined angle (e.g., one radial and one axial), electrical connections facing both the center and the outer edge can be simultaneously achieved on a single ring structure, meeting more complex interface requirements. Therefore, the ability to pre-determine spatial orientation at the planar stage is a unique advantage of this application, enabling the product to better adapt to various specific applications of the conductive ring.
[0094] refer to Figures 21a to 21d As shown, the axis of the receiving structure is set perpendicular to the main body of the fixing belt, and the conductor after fixing is perpendicular to the main body of the fixing belt.
[0095] Example 6: Weakening of Connecting Bridge Structure and "Precise Control of Bending Performance" Reducing the width of the connecting bridge section can improve flexibility to a certain extent, but this application has made relevant improvements on how to more accurately control the bending moment, bending radius and fatigue life, as well as how to avoid the concentration of bending stress at the root of the connection between the bridge section and the main body.
[0096] The core concept of this embodiment is to perform some structural optimization designs to "fine-tune the performance" of flexible hinges.
[0097] For example, by introducing a structural weakening part 107 (such as reference 107) Figure 19a (Illustrative image) Actively create a "preset weak point" on the connecting bridge 103 to precisely control bending behavior.
[0098] For example, thinning of the region: by reducing the thickness of a specific region through methods such as local etching or fine pressing, the bending stiffness can be significantly reduced without changing the external profile, thus achieving a smaller bending radius.
[0099] For example, notches or perforations: By incorporating structural optimization designs such as notches and perforations, not only is stiffness reduced, but more importantly, stress is redistributed. For instance, a V-shaped notch allows bending stress to be distributed more evenly across the entire depth of the notch, rather than concentrating at the root, thereby significantly improving fatigue resistance and extending the product's service life under repeated bending conditions.
[0100] Therefore, by achieving "designable flexibility" through the above examples, this application can flexibly adapt to various application scenarios, from one-time bending and forming (such as fixed conductive ring circular applications) to repeated bending (such as special occasions where the conductive ring needs to follow the component to continuously change shape to achieve dynamic sliding contact).
[0101] Example 7: Mechanical positioning structure and its application in facilitating fully automated production. For semi-finished piles, how to ensure that the strip structure is accurately positioned throughout a series of automated processes such as roll packaging, conveying, conductor assembly and bending forming? The core concept of this embodiment is to introduce a "process reference structure" that is integrally formed with the functional structure but can be separated in the final product. That is, by adding a small amount of structural design, automated production and manufacturing can be optimized, providing strong support for enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency.
[0102] The core concept of this embodiment is to add a portion of intermediate product structure design to the main body of the fixed belt.
[0103] For example, mechanical positioning structure 111 (reference) Figures 22a to 22b As shown in the diagram, the structure also includes some positioning holes 112: these structures are formed in the same process as the functional parts (installation part, fixing belt body), so their relative positions are precise and known. Thus, this structural information can be used in automated equipment. For example, positioning pins can be inserted into these positioning structures to achieve precise positioning and correction of the belt at each station, which is conducive to achieving high-precision automated assembly.
[0104] For example, a weak connection 113 is provided between the positioning structure and the main body of the fixing belt (see reference). Figures 22a to 22b (The dashed box portion is shown in the diagram), and the weak connection portion 113 is designed to be cut off: the designed positioning structure becomes redundant "excess" after the process reference is completed. Therefore, it is connected to the main body through the weak connection portion 113 (the thickness of which is only 10%-70% of the thickness of the main body).
[0105] It should be noted that the design of adding a weak connection part 113 can achieve the separation of "function and process": for example, it provides strong support for positioning and connection during the assembly process, and after the assembly is completed, the positioning structure can be cleanly broken and separated from the weak connection part by a simple punching or bending action, thereby achieving the lightweight and miniaturization of the final product.
[0106] For example, identification markings: By using identification markings (such as shapes and patterns forming specific identifiers), "physical benchmarks" and "information benchmarks" can be integrated, increasing the convenience and precision of manufacturing. For example, barcodes or numerical codes can be used for positioning and traceability on the production line, effectively preventing improper assembly, material mixing, etc., and enabling flexible production.
[0107] Example 8: A strip structure with "shape configurability" In the exploration of technical improvements before the upgrade, it was found that traditional conductive rings were almost equivalent to "circular rings". However, in modern electronic devices, due to the ever-changing installation space and different electrical performance requirements, for example, a circular ring may not be able to effectively fill a rectangular corner.
[0108] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new solution that breaks the mindset that "conductive rings must be circular," so that the shape of conductive structures can be flexibly adapted to various physical spaces like "building blocks."
[0109] As illustrated in the examples above, the core concept of this application lies in shifting the determining factor of shape from the "mold" to the "bending operation." By designing a long, flexible strip structure that does not inherently possess a specific shape, a "blank check" is created for subsequent shaping. Its final form can be flexibly bent into a specified shape profile after being "filled" in during the final stage of assembly according to the actual requirements of the conductive ring.
[0110] For example, an elliptical configuration: the strip structure is bent into an elliptical loop. The key is that the flexible design of the connecting bridge 103 can adapt to continuously changing radii of curvature. Near the major axis endpoint of the ellipse, the radius of curvature is small, and the deformation of the connecting bridge 103 is large; near the minor axis endpoint, the radius of curvature is large, and the deformation is small. Therefore, the entire strip structure smoothly conforms to the elliptical trajectory through the adaptive deformation of the connecting bridge, allowing a single, standardized strip product to be applied to specific non-circular devices.
[0111] For example, polygonal configurations (such as regular hexagonal rings): When a conductive ring needs to be embedded in the right-angle corners of a honeycomb structure or a regular modular device, a circular ring would result in a significant waste of space. This application addresses this by bending a strip structure into a regular hexagonal ring. The essence of this concept lies in controlling the bending operation, using the connecting bridge 103, originally designed for smooth bending, as a "discrete hinge." At each corner of the polygon, one or more connecting bridges 103 undergo concentrated bending, while the straight edges of the polygon are formed by rigid segments that fix the main body 102. This alternating "hinge-rigid segment" structure perfectly realizes the polygonal profile. It greatly improves space utilization and provides modular possibilities for product design.
[0112] For example, a fan-shaped / semi-circular configuration: In some sensor or communication applications, only a directional non-full-ring structure may be needed, because a full-ring structure not only wastes materials but may also cause unnecessary interference. This application only needs to bend the strip structure to the required angle (such as 180° to form a semi-circle, or 90° to form a fan shape, etc.) and keep it in a non-closed arc shape.
[0113] It should be noted that this concept breaks the traditional understanding that conductive rings must be closed loops. Its technical value lies in realizing the "on-demand customization" of functions, eliminating redundant parts, reducing costs, weight and power consumption, while avoiding the problems that may be caused by a full loop (such as installation interference, excessive space occupation, etc.).
[0114] For example, linear, polygonal, and wavy configurations: This application breaks with traditional thinking, namely whether the basic structure can only be used for ring applications and whether it can be extended to one-dimensional or two-dimensional planar wiring scenarios, thus providing new layout scenarios.
[0115] For example, in a straight line, if the strip structure is kept straight, it becomes a high-precision linear conductor fixing and positioning fixture, which can be used to fix and install multiple parallel conductive lines, ensuring that their spacing and position are absolutely accurate, such as for manufacturing highly consistent differential signal harnesses.
[0116] For example, in the zigzag type, the strip structure is bent at a specific angle at multiple points to form a sawtooth or stair-shaped path, which can be applied to circuits that require specific electrical lengths or impedance matching.
[0117] For example, in wave-shaped structures, the strip structure is continuously bent to form curved shapes such as sine waves. By elevating it to a kind of "conductive trajectory template", it is possible to achieve complex two-dimensional planar wiring that cannot be easily accomplished by traditional winding.
[0118] Example 9: Material Selection for Strip Structures Different application scenarios place vastly different requirements on conductive fixing devices. For example, some require extremely high conductivity, some require excellent fatigue life, some require corrosion resistance, and some require integration with insulating substrates.
[0119] The advantage of this application is that its structural design is decoupled from the material selection. The topology of "flexible strip matrix + connecting bridge + mounting part" has strong material universality. Therefore, the most suitable strip material can be selected in reverse according to the design requirements of the final product without changing the basic structural design.
[0120] For example, metal strips (such as copper strips): these materials are chosen to maximize the combination of mechanical properties and electrical conductivity. For instance, beryllium copper has extremely high yield strength and excellent fatigue life, ensuring that the connecting bridge 103 is not prone to plastic deformation or fracture after repeated bending, making it particularly suitable for moving parts (such as slip rings). At the same time, its good electrical conductivity ensures that its resistance is sufficiently low if the fixing strip body 102 needs to be part of a current path. For example, phosphor bronze offers better elasticity and cost advantages, making it ideal for utilizing the elastic deformation zone of the mounting part 104 to clamp wires.
[0121] For example, conductive composite materials (such as silicone or epoxy resin-based tapes filled with silver powder): These materials are chosen to address the issue of excessive rigidity in metal materials, which is problematic in applications requiring high flexibility, significant stretchability, or conformability to soft substrates. Because these materials possess inherent elasticity and stretchability, not only can the connecting bridge 103 bend, but the entire fixing tape body 102 also exhibits a degree of elasticity, allowing the entire device to be applied to dynamic curved surfaces such as wearable devices and flexible robots. Although the electrical conductivity is slightly lower than that of metals, it still meets the basic electrical performance requirements for signal transmission.
[0122] For example, flexible printed circuit board (FPC) materials (such as copper-clad polyimide): Through flexible circuit boards, "passive fixing" can be upgraded to "active integration," transforming the strip structure from a mere mechanical fastener into a functional component with its own circuitry. For instance, by using FPC material as the substrate for the strip structure, and based on etching processes, not only can the outlines of the connecting bridge 103 and the mounting portion 104 be formed, but pre-defined circuit traces can also be etched onto the fixing strip body 102. These traces can be directly connected to additional conductors (such as coil wires) mounted on the mounting portion 104, forming a complex circuit network. This eliminates the need for additional soldering and assembly steps, significantly improving system integration and reliability.
[0123] Example 10: Example of "one-piece molding" forming a strip structure This application selects manufacturing processes that ensure both precision and efficiency while taking into account the characteristics and costs of different materials, thus enabling compatibility with various processes from traditional subtractive manufacturing to modern additive manufacturing.
[0124] For example, stamping: using high-precision, high-efficiency dies for large-scale replication is the preferred method for metal strip and mass production. By designing and manufacturing a set of precision progressive dies, punching, blanking and other processes are continuously performed on the metal coil to form the entire strip structure in one go, including the tiny inlet transition and structural weakening parts. The manufacturing process has extremely high production efficiency and low unit cost, making it very suitable for mass production.
[0125] For example, etching (photochemical processing): When the structural features are extremely fine (such as connecting bridges with a precision of less than 0.1 mm), a stress-free "etching" molding method can be used. For instance, by coating a strip with photoresist, exposing and developing it, and then using chemical solvents to etch away the unprotected areas, the desired shape is formed. This process can produce ultra-fine structures without burrs or mechanical stress, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring extremely high precision and surface quality, such as medical micro-devices and high-frequency FPC components.
[0126] For example, 3D printing (additive manufacturing): 3D printing enables the integrated manufacturing of complex three-dimensional structures that are impossible to achieve with traditional processes. For instance, using a 3D printer capable of printing conductive materials (such as conductive polymer composites or nano-silver paste), the strip structure described in this application can be directly manufactured layer by layer, easily accommodating changes in the structural axis in any direction in space, or creating mounting parts with irregular shapes. This is a preferred and feasible manufacturing solution for small-batch production, prototyping, or products with extremely complex structures.
[0127] For example, die-cutting: using lower-cost cutting tools for shaping. By using custom dies, materials are separated through pressure cutting, resulting in a highly efficient manufacturing process with costs between stamping and etching. This is a feasible solution for processing conductive composite materials or simple FPC structures.
[0128] Example 11: A variation of "one-piece molding" from "integration of homogeneous materials" to "integration and composite of heterogeneous materials". A single material often cannot meet all the requirements. Metal areas that require high strength and high conductivity may be too rigid, which is not conducive to use in areas where large deformation is required. On the other hand, using flexible composite materials as a whole may sacrifice the rigidity and conductivity of the structure.
[0129] Therefore, if the advantages of different materials are integrated into a single strip structure to achieve a combination of rigidity and flexibility as well as functional partitioning of conductivity and insulation, a completely new structural design can be provided for conductive rings.
[0130] The concept behind this application is to extend "integrated molding" from "integration of homogeneous materials" to "integrated composite of heterogeneous materials." Furthermore, through advanced manufacturing processes, the most suitable materials can be used in different regions.
[0131] For example, the strip structure is made of a multi-material composite base strip. For instance, the main body of the fixing strip 102 and the mounting part 104 are made of high-strength metal materials (such as stainless steel or hard copper alloy) to ensure the stability and reliability of the overall structure.
[0132] The connecting bridge 103 is made of highly elastic conductive composite material or superelastic metal (such as nickel-titanium). These two materials are combined at the microscopic level through advanced processes such as overmolding, solid-state welding or laser cladding to form a truly inseparable integrated component.
[0133] Furthermore, a layer 207 of a precious metal material such as silver or gold with high conductivity and low contact resistance can be coated on the inner wall of the housing structure of the mounting part 104 by electroplating or vapor deposition, while the mounting part body uses a lower-cost conductive substrate.
[0134] The fixed belt body 102 provides structural rigidity, ensuring the stability of the final form. The connecting bridge 103, due to its special composite material, possesses bending fatigue life and deformation capacity far exceeding that of ordinary metals, allowing the entire device to withstand millions of repeated bends. The precious metal layer on the inner wall of the mounting section 104 is specifically designed to provide an excellent electrical contact interface, reducing contact resistance. Therefore, through this composite structural design, functions such as "structural support," "flexible connection," and "excellent electrical contact" are simultaneously achieved. Each function is undertaken by the most suitable material in the most suitable position, breaking through the performance limits of a single material and achieving a leapfrog improvement in the overall performance of the product. Furthermore, it specifically addresses the fatigue life issue in the flexible hinge area, greatly extending the product's service life in dynamic application scenarios. Additionally, while ensuring key electrical performance, the overall cost is optimized (precious metals are used only in critical electrical contact areas).
