WIRE HARNESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18270099 titled 'WIRE HARNESS
The abstract describes a wire harness that includes a wire housed in a metal tube with an electromagnetic shield surrounding the wire drawn from the tube. The shield consists of a metal layer connected to the tube, made of the same metal type as the tube.
- Metal tube housing wire
- Electromagnetic shield surrounding wire
- Shield includes metal layer connected to tube
- Metal layer made of same metal type as tube
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for wiring harnesses - Aerospace industry for electrical systems - Industrial machinery for cable management
Problems Solved: - Electromagnetic interference - Protection of wires in harsh environments
Benefits: - Enhanced signal quality - Improved durability and longevity of wire harnesses
Commercial Applications: - Manufacturing of vehicles - Production of aircraft - Construction of industrial equipment
Questions about wire harness technology: 1. How does the electromagnetic shield protect the wire from interference? 2. What are the advantages of using a metal tube to house the wire in a harness?
Original Abstract Submitted
A wire harness including: a wire; a metal tube in which the wire is housed; and an electromagnetic shield that surrounds an outer circumference of the wire that is drawn from the metal tube, wherein: the electromagnetic shield includes a sheet-shaped metal layer configured to be electrically connected to the metal tube, and the metal layer is made of a same type of metal as the metal tube.
