Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional shield wires with braided bodies face difficulties in terminal processing due to the need for separate removal of the braided body after sheath stripping, which is cumbersome, and those with conductive foils adhered by an adhesive layer suffer from poor bending resistance and electromagnetic shield properties.

Innovation Solution

A shield wire configuration where a conductive fiber braided body is adhered to the sheath via an adhesive layer, allowing simultaneous stripping of the braided body during sheath removal, enhancing bending resistance and electromagnetic shielding while simplifying terminal processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the braided body is not adhered to the sheath, then the terminal processing is simple, but the braided body removal becomes burdensome and requires additional steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal processing easeVSAvoidbraided body removal complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the sheath and braided body into a single integrated structure by adhering them together. This allows both components to be removed simultaneously during terminal processing, eliminating the need for separate removal steps and simplifying the overall operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer is applied in advance during manufacturing to bond the braided body to the sheath. This preliminary action ensures that when terminal processing occurs, the integrated structure can be removed as one unit without requiring additional removal operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the conductive foil is adhered to the external insulator by an adhesive layer, then the terminal processing is simplified, but the bending resistance and electromagnetic shield property deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveterminal processing easeVSAvoidbending resistance and electromagnetic shield property
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameter from conductive foil to conductive fiber, and from external insulator to sheath. This parameter change allows the use of an adhesive layer without compromising bending resistance or electromagnetic shielding, as the conductive fiber and sheath materials are selected to maintain these properties while still being adhesive-compatible.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials including the adhesive layer, conductive fiber braided body, and sheath. This composite structure achieves both simplified terminal processing through adhesion and maintained reliability through careful selection of materials that preserve bending resistance and electromagnetic shielding properties.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Ease of manufacture

If the braided body is made without adhesion to sheath, then the manufacturing is simple, but the tensile force concentrates on the sheath reducing tension resistance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidtension resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer merges the braided body and sheath into a unified load-bearing structure. This merging allows tensile forces to be distributed across both components rather than concentrating solely on the sheath, thereby improving overall tension resistance while maintaining manufacturing simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive layer acts as an intermediary that transfers and distributes tensile forces between the braided body and sheath. This intermediary function enables effective load sharing, improving tension resistance without complicating the manufacturing process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A shield wire is formed of eight twisted insulated core wires 1, an inclusion 2 between these respective insulated core wires 1, a tape 3 laterally wound around an outer periphery of a core formed of the insulated core wires and inclusion, a drain wire 4 disposed on an outer surface of the tape, a conductive fiber braided body 5 formed on an outer peripheral surface of the tape so as to interpose the drain wire, a sheath 6 that forms an outer peripheral surface of the braided body, and an adhesive layer 7 between the braided body and sheath. A braided body 5′ is adhesively integrated to the sheath 6′ by an adhesive layer; thus, the braided body 5′ is stripped with the sheath. This eliminates a need for a removal work of the braided body after stripping the sheath, thus ensuring good workability of the terminal processing.
