Solution Overview

Problem

Data lines accumulate dust and stains due to their braided structure, which affects performance and user experience.

Innovation Solution

A data line design that includes a braided layer with a filling layer in the braiding gaps, using materials like methyvinylsiloxane and silicon dioxide to prevent dust and stains, combined with a shielding layer for electromagnetic interference protection and a flexible insulating layer for durability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a braided layer is used to protect the data line, then durability and strength are improved, but dust accumulation and staining occur

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovedurabilityVSAvoiddust accumulation

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The filling layer is applied into the braiding gaps of the braided layer, filling the porous structure to prevent dust and stains from entering while maintaining the protective function of the braided structure

Inventive Principle:

Principle #31Porous materials

Solution Approach 2:

The data line adopts a composite structure combining the braided layer for mechanical protection and the filling layer for dust prevention, creating a multi-functional protective system

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Strength

If a braided layer is used to protect the data line, then strength is improved, but stain resistance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

ImprovestrengthVSAvoidstain resistance

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The filling layer fills the porous braiding gaps to prevent stains from penetrating into the braided structure, maintaining strength while improving stain resistance

Inventive Principle:

Principle #31Porous materials

Solution Approach 2:

The braiding gaps that originally caused staining problems are transformed into filled structures that prevent stain penetration, converting the structural weakness into a protective feature

Inventive Principle:

Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

AI summary

Disclosed are a data line and a manufacturing method thereof. The data line includes a terminal assembly, a core wire assembly, a braided layer, and a filling layer. The terminal assembly is coupled to an electronic device. The core wire assembly is coupled to the terminal assembly and is configured to conduct electricity. The braided layer has a plurality of braiding gaps, and the filling layer is filled in the plurality of braiding gaps, the filling layer and the braided layer jointly enclosing the core wire assembly. The filling layer is provided in the braiding gaps of the braided layer and can be completely or partially filled in the braiding gaps, making it difficult for dust and stains to deposit in the braiding gaps, preventing the data line from accumulating dust and improving stain resistance of the data line.
