Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional laminated hoses face a trade-off between pressure-resistant performance and oscillating durability performance, as increasing reinforcing wire density improves pressure resistance but reduces flexibility and durability, while reducing wire density compromises both pressure resistance and manufacturing alignment.

Innovation Solution

A laminated hose design with a wire density of 90% or more but less than 96% in reinforcing layers, where density decreases from the innermost to outermost layers, and a winding angle of 40° to 70°, ensuring both pressure-resistant and oscillating durability performance without exceeding 100% wire density when bent.

Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the wire density within the range of 90% or more and less than 96%, and by optimizing the winding angle between 40° to 70°. These parameter optimizations balance the competing requirements of pressure resistance and flexibility, resolving the technical contradiction between strength and ease of operation.
