    [0001] SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HISTORIC RESIN BEAM BEAM STRUCTURE Electrical harnesses are often used to distribute signals and current to various components of a vehicle, such as the various components in and around a gas turbine engine in a vehicle. an airplane, to and from electrical components of a landing gear of an airplane, or to and from electrical components of a motor vehicle. The electrical current and the signals to and from the individual electrical components are generally transmitted along conductive wires. Such conductors may be in the form of wires and / or cables that can be assembled to form a bundle. The connections between the individual components and the beam can be ensured, for example, by a multipolar plug and / or female connectors.
    [0002] In order to protect the wiring harness from contact with hot surfaces, or with sharp edges, which, associated with the vibration may cause friction or other forms of wear, the cable bundle is generally supported by multiple hooks, clips and fasteners. These hooks, clips and fasteners are conventional materials that are attached to a structure, which in turn support or suspend the beam to keep it away from surfaces and components. Due to the flexibility of the cable bundles, support is generally required at close intervals along the length of the bundle to prevent buckling of the bundle and its contact with a surface. For aerospace components, where the breakage of a wiring harness could result in a disaster, stringent regulations dictate the maximum permissible intervals between a hook or support clamp. These hooks or clamps each add extra weight to the cable harness system, which in an aircraft reduces efficiency and increases the costly fuel consumption. The need for hooks and clips at short intervals along a bundle of cables may dictate the path of the wiring harness between the components. The path of the beam should be adjacent to the support structures on which the hooks and clamps are to be attached. Sometimes the most convenient and convenient path for the beam is a path adjacent to the appropriate support structures, but this would not be the most efficient or direct route. Thus, the need for hooks and support clips at short regular intervals can make a cable harness path longer than necessary and add additional weight.
    [0003] In order to further protect the wires and cables, a typical bundle would also include various layers of thermal and electromagnetic insulation and an outer protective sheath (eg, a polyetheretherketone ("PEEK") cladding layer to help protect the beam against friction, high temperatures, electromagnetic interference, etc. These layers of insulation and protection also add additional weight to the cable harness system SUMMARY Electrical harnesses and electrical harness manufacturing processes are disclosed here In various embodiments, the electrical bundles comprise an electrical conductive wire and a braided sheath infused with curable resin surrounding a portion of the conductive wire, wherein at least a portion of the braided sheath is infused with a curable resin is disclosed. compliance with various embodiments, the bundles elec disclosed are an electrically conductive wire and a braided sheath surrounding a portion of the electrical lead, at least a portion of the braided sheath comprising a first cured resin providing rigidity to the first portion of the cured resin and at least a second part of the braided sheath that is foldable.

    [0005] As used herein the term "metal coated fiber" or "MCF" may include various fibers coated with one or more metals. In various embodiments, the metal-coated fibers may comprise the coating of a plurality of metals or their alloys, such as nickel, silver, gold, tin, aluminum, copper, cadmium, zinc and / or stainless steel.
    [0006] The fibers of the metal-coated fibers may also comprise various thermoplastic fibers such as polymers including 4,6-diamino-1,3-benzenediol dihydrochloride. Examples of metal coated fibers include nickel-coated thermoplastic fibers (sold as Amber Strand Nickel Clad Fibers), silver coated thermoplastic fibers (sold as AmberStrand® Silver Clad Fibers), stainless steel microfilaments, and nickel plated stainless steel microfilaments (sold as ArmorLiteTM), all commercially available from Glenair®.

In various embodiments, the MCFs can be used to improve the low frequency protection performance and provide protection against lightning. In various embodiments, MCFs may also provide protection against environmental factors of the engine, such as temperature changes, high vibrations, liquids, chemical resistance, and may provide galvanic characteristics. The terms "resin" and "curable resin" may be used throughout this disclosure synonymously, and may describe the product that could impregnate a braided sheath and subsequently solidify. For example, the term "resin" may describe any liquid, natural or synthetic, that may harden. For example, a synthetic resin can take the form of a liquid such as the viscous liquid which can harden irreversibly after a curing procedure (e.g., thermosetting). Examples of the resin according to various embodiments include at least one of an epoxy resin, a polyurethane resin, a methacrylate resin, and mixtures thereof. The epoxy resin may include epoxy adhesives, such as single-component epoxy adhesive systems (eg, Aralidite® 204, which is commercially available from Huntsman Corporation) or two-component epoxy adhesive systems. An example of a two-pack epoxy adhesive system includes various epoxy resins and epoxy resin systems that can operate at temperatures up to about 260 ° C (about 500 ° F), such as Hysol® EA 9396 / C2 epoxy adhesive paste available commercially at Henkel Corporation.
    [0007] Resin may harden in response to a curing process, e.g., in response to heat exposure, in response to exposure to UV light ("ultraviolet"), in response to exposure to a catalyst in response to the removal of a solvent, and various combinations thereof. A curing process initiates a chemical change in the resin to cause the curing and / or stiffness of the resin. For example, a curing process may include applying heat with, eg, a heat gun, an autoclave, a heat lamp, or a heating pad. Curing can also be done by applying a chemical agent to cause the hardening and / or rigidity of the resin. Hardening can also be achieved by exposing the resin to UV light. According to various embodiments, suitable one-component or two-component adhesive systems can be used and the type of adhesive is not particularly limited. Various embodiments may contain resins 7 with or without a reagent diluent. For example, suitable two-component adhesive systems may contain an epoxy resin with or without a one-component reagent diluent, and in another component may contain one or more curing agents, which upon mixing with the first component may cause hardening of the mixture. According to various embodiments, a suitable inert filler can be uniformly incorporated into one or both components. The filler can be non-sedimenting or easily dispersed target in any component in which it is incorporated. In various embodiments, suitable adhesive systems can cure under wet conditions, and bond to wet surfaces. Various characteristics such as uniformity, freezing time, filler content, epoxy equivalent, viscosity, absorption, bond strength, thermal compatibility, thermal defection temperature, linear coefficient of shrinkage, modulus and strength of compressive strength, tensile strength and elongation and contact force can be varied according to the characteristics desired by one skilled in the art. Suitable two-component epoxy adhesive systems include Hysol® EA 9396 / C2 epoxy paste commercially available from Henkel Corporation. Other suitable two-component epoxy adhesive systems include: Epibond® 100A / B, Epibond® 1217-A / B, Epibond® 420-AB, Epibond® 8543-C / B, Epibond® 1539-A / B, Epibond® 1534-A / B, Epibond® 1536A / B, Epibond® 104-A / B, Epibond® 1210-A / 96115A, Epibond 1210-A / B, Epibond® 156-A / B, Epibond "1559-1- A / B, Epibond® 1210-A / 9861, Epibond® 1565-AB, Aralidite® 2013, and Aralidite® 2015, all commercially available from Huntsman Corporation Suitable polyurethane adhesives in various embodiments include Uralane® 5754A. / B, Uralane® 5759 G / D and Uralanen 5774 A / C, all of which are commercially available from Huntsman Corporation Suitable methacrylate adhesives include Araldite® 2047-1, Araldite® 2048 and Araldite ® 2052-1, all of which are commercially available from Huntsman Corporation Suitable UV curing adhesives include Hysol UV3000, Hysol® UV3000LH and Hysol "UV3001, all of which are available c commercially at Henkel Corporation. The term "infused resin" may include a braided sheath to which a resin has been applied. The application of a resin to a braided sheath must sufficiently fill the holes between the fibers of a braided sheath to provide an increase in stiffness, strength or protection after submission to a cure process. For example, a braided sheath in which the resin is infused with a brush (eg brush), under vacuum (eg vacuum infiltration) or with external pressure (eg, using a heat-shrinkable tape or an autoclave) will be called an infused resin. For example, a brush application can be used to infuse a resin into a braided sheath. The resin can then be infused between the fiber holes of the braided sheath, providing improved rigidity and strength during curing. In other embodiments, the melting can be carried out under partial vacuum or partial vacuum in addition to the application of external pressure (eg, in an autoclave). A vacuum may comprise any reduced pressure (e.g., less than about 758 Torr (about 101 kPa) or less than about 600 Torr (about 80 kPa)). In various embodiments, a braided sheath infused with a resin may comprise a resin infused along the entire length of the braided sheath. The term "infused resin" may include a braided sheath in which at least a portion of the braided sheath is infused with a resin. In various embodiments, the outermost braided sheath can be infused with a resin. According to various embodiments, a resin-infused sheath may comprise a bundle wherein at least a first portion of the braided sheath comprises a first hardened resin providing stiffness at a first portion of the braided sheath and at least a second portion of the braided sheath. braided sheath that is foldable. A collapsible braided sheath can describe a braided sheath that is flexible or that can be twisted. A collapsible braided sheath may be resin-free (ie, not infused with resin) or may be at least partially infused with a resin. A collapsible foldable braided sheath which is at least partially infused with resin has not been subjected to a hardening process. Therefore, in such embodiments, the resin has not yet provided rigidity to the foldable braided sheath. A foldable braided sheath can allow the bundles to remain flexible so that during installation the final shape of the bundle can be adjusted to more closely match the installation and, in various embodiments, the uncured resin can then be be cured with a suitable curing process. In addition, a collapsible braided sheath can allow bundles to remain flexible, reducing packaging for shipping and reducing shipping costs. The second portion of the braided sheath may be disposed between a first portion of the braided sheath and a third portion of the braided sheath which includes a second cured resin according to various embodiments. The length of the second portion is not particularly limited and may be between about 5 and 50%, about 10 to about 45% or about 15 to about 25% of the total length of the electrical harness. In various embodiments, the second portion of the braided sheath may be disposed between the first portion of the braided sheath and an electrical connector. In various embodiments, the electrical harness may comprise a third portion of the braided sheath that is collapsible. In various embodiments, the first and second portions of a resin infused bundle may be cured with different resins (eg, a first cured resin and a second cured resin) or identical resins. In some embodiments, the second portion of the braided sheath may comprise an uncured resin. The term "cured" may include a resin or braided sheath infused with resin sufficiently hardened to substantially prevent deformation of the cured sheath by external forces (e.g., gravity). For example, in various embodiments, a cured portion of a braided sheath may be sufficiently rigid to prevent significant sagging between the clips that are spaced about 15.24 cm (6 inches) or more apart from each other. 30.48 cm (12 inches) or more, about 60.96 cm (24 inches) or more, about 42 inches (42.68 cm) or more, or about 152.4 cm (60 inches) or more. The term "significant subsidence" may include subsidence that could affect the safety or seaworthiness of a beam, eg, in a turbojet engine or in a nacelle. According to various embodiments, the resins can be cured through the application of heat, e.g. from a heat gun, a heat lamp or a heating pad, an oven , and an autoclave. Various resins (e.g., epoxy adhesives) may have different curing temperatures and curing times, so curing times and temperatures may vary widely. Examples of temperatures include temperatures from about 15.56 ° C (60 ° F) to about 260 ° C (about 500 ° F) about 37.78 ° C (about 100 ° F), about 160 ° C ° C (about 320 ° F), about 65.6 ° C (about 150 ° F), about 149 ° C (300 ° F), and about 121 ° C (about 250 ° F) about 129 ° C (265 ° F). The curing time can range from about 1 minute to about 3 days, from about 10 minutes about 7 hours, from about 35 minutes about 5 hours, and from about 2 hours to about 3 hours. The term "fiberglass" may include any fiberglass and may include glass fibers that are compatible with various resins (eg, polyester resins, vinyl ester resins, epoxy resins, bisphenol resins). maleimides ("BMI"), phenolic cyanate ester resins, polyetheretherketone ("PEEK") resins, polyetherimide resins ("PEI"), and liquid crystal polymer ("LCP") resins). Fiberglass may include all forms of yarns, including non-twisted yarns forming cakes, rovings and chopped fibers. In various embodiments, the fiberglass may conform to military standards such as MIL-R-60346, Type IV and MIL-Y-1140H. Examples of fiberglass include: e-glass, S-2 glass fiber® (a registered trademark of AGY Holding Corporation) and ZenTron® (also a registered trademark of AGY Holding Corporation). The term "heat-shrinkable material" may describe any suitable coating for the bundle that may shrink upon heating. Examples of heat-shrinkable material for various embodiments may include a heat shrinkable tube, a heat shrinkable sleeve, a heat shrinkable tape, heat shrinkable chests, and heat shrinkable package assemblies. In various embodiments, the heat-shrinkable material may comprise modified elastomeric or polyolefin materials. In various embodiments, these materials may have features that include at least one feature such as being soft, relatively thick (e.g., greater than about 1/8 in.), Relatively heat resistant (eg, at temperatures below 270 ° C (518 ° F), electrical insulation, improved aging resistance by oxygen, light or ozone, or improved resistance to chemical.
    [0008] In various embodiments, the heat shrinkable material may be part of the bundle, such as a heat shrinkable chest and, in various embodiments, may be configured to shrink to attach to a trunk case of an electrical connector. In various embodiments, the heat shrinkable chest may be substantially straight or angled (e.g., at an angle of about 30 ° or greater, a year of about 45 ° or an angle of about 90 °) . Suitable heat-shrinkable chests include commercially available KTKK cable assemblies at TE Connectivity®'s IS-RAYFAST. In various embodiments, the heat-shrinkable material may be removed, such as heat-shrinkable tape. In various embodiments, the heat-shrinkable material may be placed in a braided sheath after application of a resin to form a resin-infused sheath. In various embodiments, by curing a resin-infused braided sheath partially covered with a heat-shrinkable material, a uniformly increased pressure may be applied to the braided sheath. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that in various embodiments, narrowing of the heat-shrinkable material prior to curing the resin may help to more evenly infuse the resin into the braided sheath. With reference to FIG. 1, an electrical harness sheath construction is illustrated according to various embodiments. In various embodiments, the beam 100 may include two two-core shielded cables 102 and a single core shielded cable 110, and combinations thereof. Even if only the single-core or dual-core shielded cables are shown in FIG. 1, according to various embodiments, a beam may comprise any type of shielded cables (e.g., shielded 3-core cables, shielded 4-core cables, etc.). In various embodiments, the bundle 100, the glass fiber 108 may be in direct contact with the braided sheath layer 106. In various embodiments, the braided sheath layer 106 may be at least 12 partially infused with resin. The two dual-core shielded cables 102 and the single-core shielded cable 110 may comprise an electrically conductive wire 112, and a braided sheath layer 104. The braided sheath 104 may comprise, according to various embodiments, a braided sheath MCF or a braided copper sheath covered with nickel. In various embodiments, the two dual-core shielded cables 102 and the single-core shielded cable 110 may also include other layers, such as dielectric insulation layers 114, 116, 118, 120, and 122. Weaving Braided sheath is not particularly limited and in various embodiments it may include various types of weaving such as plain weaving, basket weaving, twill weaving and satin weaving. In various embodiments, the weave may be finer weave to provide improved coverage and thereby improve shielding (e.g., EMI shielding). Also, in various embodiments, thinner weaves providing improved coverage may permit the use of larger package diameters and smaller packages of wires. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that thinner weavings can help protect against fenestration in response to beam bending, thereby providing better shielding. The braided sheaths are not particularly limited in shape and may take the form of a braided sock or may be woven on the wire harness from a roll of material. In various embodiments, the fibers may be woven from two or more coils, 3 or more coils or 4 or more coils. It will be understood that the number of reels may affect the weave density of a braided sheath and may be varied to achieve the desired densities or coverage. Examples of hedging may range, depending on various embodiments, from approximately 60% hedging to approximately 99.8% hedging, approximately 65% hedging to approximately 95% hedging, approximately 70% hedging about 85% coverage.

The two core shielded cables 102 and the single core shielded cable 110 may comprise an electrically conductive wire 112 and a braided sheath layer 104. The beam 200 does not include a fiberglass shield layer, such as the diaper fiberglass armor 108 (shown in FIG 1). In various embodiments, the shielded cables 102 and 110 may also include other layers, such as dielectric isolation layers 114, 116, 118, 120 and 122, and may also include a braided sheath 104. Even if only shielded 2-core and single-core cables are shown in FIG. 2, according to various embodiments, the beam 200 may comprise any number of shielded cables (e.g., shielded 3-core cables, shielded 4-core cables, etc.). With reference to FIGs. 3A and 3B, a view of an electrical connector 300, which may be bonded to a receptacle 350, is illustrated in various embodiments.

In various embodiments, the electrical connector 300 and receptacle 350 must conform to various industry and government standards and must be fully interchangeable and connectable with connectors that comply with such industry and government standards, such as EN2997. , the MIL-C-83723 III & ESC series connectors 10 and 15, and the 983 series connectors commercially available from DEUTSCH, the TE Connectivity® connection platform. With reference to FIG. 4, methods 400 for making electrical harness according to various embodiments are illustrated. The methods 400 may include laying the braided sheath to surround at least a portion of an electrical conductive wire illustrated as step 402 and infusing a resin into at least a portion of the braided sheath illustrated as the step 403. The heat curing of the resin (step 404) of the resin-infused braided sheath is performed to form a hardened braided sheath.
    [0012] With reference to FIG. 5, methods 500 for making electrical harness according to various embodiments are illustrated. Methods 500 may include infusing the resin into at least a portion of a braided sheath (step 403). The braided, resin-infused sheath may, in various embodiments, be placed to surround a portion of the electrical lead (step 402). The resin may, in various embodiments, be heat cured to form a cured braided sheath (step 404). With reference to FIG. 6, methods 600 for making electrical harness according to various embodiments are illustrated. In various embodiments, the methods 600 may include placing a braided sheath around a portion of an electrical lead (step 602). In various embodiments, the electrical lead may be part of a shielded cable (eg, single-core shielded cable, shielded 2-core cable, shielded 3-core cable, etc.). Methods 600 may also include infusing the resin into at least a portion of a braided sheath (step 403). In various embodiments, the resin-infused braided sheath surrounding a portion of an electrical conductor wire may be only partially infused. The term "partially infused" may include a braided sheath in which at least a portion of the braided sheath is not infused with a resin. In various embodiments, not infusing the entire braided sheath, the shape of the braided sheath can be manipulated, e.g., during installation. But also, in various embodiments, not infusing the entire braided sheath can provide the desired benefits, such as improved packaging convenience for shipping. Methods 600 may also include heat curing the resin to form a cured braided sheath (step 404). In various embodiments, a cured braided sheath may be a braided sheath in which only a portion of the braided sheath is cured (e.g., portions of braided sheath infused with the resin). The methods 600 may therefore include placing the electrical harness in a predetermined position, such as in the area around a turboprop engine (step 608). In step 608, the clips or other support mechanism may be used to maintain the beam in a predetermined position. The non-infused portions of the bundle can remain flexible so that during installation the final shape of the bundle can be adjusted to more closely match the installation. According to various embodiments, at least a portion of the non-infused portions of the braided sheath can be infused with a resin (step 610). The infused resin of step 610 may be heat cured (eg, with a heat gun or heat lamp) (step 612) and may improve the overall hardness of the braided sheath. The resin is not particularly limited and may, in various embodiments, comprise at least one of a polyurethane resin and an epoxy resin. In various embodiments of step 612, the beam may be cured to be hard enough for there to be sufficient support for the beam to support its own weight without sagging. Thus, according to various embodiments, once the beam is cured, some of the clips, or other carrier materials, may be removed. In various embodiments, this may help prevent the braided sheath from sagging due to external forces (eg, gravity) that can induce sagging or other unwanted deformations of the braided sheath before or after the braided sheath is infused with the resin. Various methods of manufacturing electrical harnesses are disclosed herein. According to various embodiments, the methods of manufacturing an electrical harness include placing a braided sheath to surround at least a portion of an electrically conductive wire, infusing a resin into at least a portion of the wire. braided sheath and curing by heat to form a braided braided sheath, are disclosed. In various embodiments, the methods disclosed may also include placing a shielded fiberglass layer to at least partially surround the electrically conductive wire. The methods may also include, after heat curing, infusing a resin into a braided sheath according to various embodiments.
