Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a shielding assembly, and more particularly, to a shielding assembly adapted for enclosing, winding on, or wrapping around a cable for analog and/or digital signal transmission and/or AC and/or DC power transmission for providing optimized shielding effect and transmission quality.
  • a cable might be a main source of transfer for EMI, both as a source and receiver. As a source, the cable might either conduct noise to other equipment or act as an antenna radiating noise. As a receiver, the cable can pick up EMI radiated from other sources.
  • EMI electromagnetic interference
  • the primary way to combat EMI in cables is through the use of shielding.
  • the shield surrounds the inner signal-carrying or power-carrying conductors.
  • the shield can act on EMI in two ways. First, it can reflect the energy. Second, it can pick up the noise and conduct it to ground. In either case, the EMI does not reach the conductors. In either case, some energy still passes through the shield and might cause interference thereto if the energy somehow is not so highly attenuated.
  • Cables come with various degrees of shielding and offer varying degrees of shielding effectiveness.
  • the amount of shielding required depends on several factors, including the electrical environment in which the cable is used, the cost of the cable (more shielding generally means more expensive) and issues like cable diameter, weight, and flexibility.
  • a relatively low cost shielding mechanism with a relatively high or optimized shielding effectiveness is highly desirable.
  • a shielding assembly adapted for enclosing or wrapping around a cable for analog and/or digital signal transmission, comprising:
  • one or more shielding layers enclosing at least partly the cable and preferably having an optional clearance portion arranged at its one end for forming a clearance with a respective end of the cable or another shielding layer, an optional mounting portion arranged adjacent to the clearance portion for fixation of the shielding layer and a shielding portion arranged adjacent to the mounting portion or the clearance portion for effecting its shielding operation;
  • shielding portion of the one or more shielding layers are in electric / conductive connection with each other and in a direct ground or floating ground connection and preferably in series connection with a filter element and ground terminal of the cable;
  • the shielding portion preferably comprises an isolation tube on which a braid shield is mounted; and a spirally wound shield provided with a direct ground or floating ground connection and wound at least partly on the braid shield and extended between a first and a second ends of the braid shield.
  • the spirally wound shield comprises at least one turn of a bare conductive wire provided with a direct ground or floating ground connection and preferably in series connection with a filter element and ground terminal of the cable; and/or the spirally wound shield is in conductive connection with the braid shield.
  • the filter element is a capacitor with a capacitance of preferably 0.1 ⁇ or below and/or a ferrite bead preferably adapted for implementing a floating ground for the cable.
  • the spirally wound shield is a bare conductive wire of which number of turns and/or length are preferably determined and based on diameter of the cable or an inner signal-carrying or power-carrying conductor in the cable.
  • the spirally wound shield of at least some of the one or more shielding layers are in electric connection with each other and preferably in series connection with a filter element and ground terminal of the cable; and/or the spirally wound shield of at least some of the one or more shielding layers are isolated from each other; and/or at least some of the one or more shielding layers with the spirally wound shield are isolated from each other.
  • the isolation tube and/or the braid shield of the shielding portion are firmly fixed or mounted at least partly with the mounting portion by an adhesive, a clamping member, and/or a plastic tape wound thereon and/or extended between both ends of the mounting portion.
  • the spirally wound shield is a bare conductive wire preferably having a number of turns and/or an axial length being in inverse proportion to diameter of the cable and/or a conductor enclosed by the cable.
  • the number of turns ranges from 1 to 50 and preferably from 1 to 40; and/or the diameter of the cable ranges from 2mm to 60mm and preferably from 4mm to 30mm.
  • the isolation tube and/or the braid shield of the shielding portion are configured to cover and extend from the clearance portion to the shielding portion of respective shielding layer and/or arranged to be isolated from respective cable connectors located at ends of the cable.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of an example shielding assembly of the present disclosure having a single shielding layer
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of another example shielding assembly of the present disclosure having three shielding layers;
  • Figure 3 is a schematic view of an example shielding assembly of the present disclosure having a filter member.
  • shielding assembly of the present disclosure is adapted for use with both.
  • Foil shielding used a thin layer of aluminium, typically attached to a carrier such as polyester to add strength and ruggedness. It provides 100% coverage of the conductors it surrounds, but it is thin, which makes it harder to work with, especially when applying a connector.
  • the braid provides a low-resistance path to ground and is much easier to termination by crimping or soldering when attaching a connector. But braided shields do not provide 100% coverage. They allow small gaps in coverage. Depending on the tightness of the weave, braids typically provide between 70% and 95% coverage. When the cable is stationary, 70% is usually sufficient. Because copper has higher conductivity than aluminium and the braid has more bulk for conducting noise, the braid is more effective as a shield even though it adds size and cost to the cable.
  • the foil and/or the braid layer might be used as the first and/or second stage of shielding while a spirally wound shield comprising at least one turn of bare conductive wire might be used as the extra or further stage of shielding for providing optimized shielding effectiveness to preserve a relatively high signal and power transmission quality.
  • the shielding effectiveness is enhanced through reduced shield resistance and an optional filter element to facilitate quick and reliable termination and/or the formation of a floating ground which might help eliminate ground loops, so as to reduce the noise coupled thereto.

  • the length of the clearance portion of the first shielding layer ranges from 0mm - 10mm and preferably from 1 mm - 9mm, and the length of the mounting portion ranges from 0mm - 20mm and preferably from 5mm - 15mm.
  • the shielding portion of the at least one / one or more shielding layers are in electric / conductive connection with each other and preferably in a direct ground or floating ground connection, such as in series connection with a filter element and ground terminal of the cable (not shown).
  • the spirally wound shield of at least some of the one or more shielding layers are in electric connection with each other and preferably in series connection with a filter element and ground terminal of the cable; and/or the spirally wound shield of at least some of the one or more shielding layers are isolated from each other ; and/or at least some of the one or more shielding layers with the spirally wound shield are isolated from each other.
  • the spirally wound shield of multiple shielding layers and/or shielding layers with the spirally wound shield might be made in an isolated, non-isolated, or mixed manner depending on specific applications.
  • the shielding portion preferably comprises an isolation tube on which a braid shield is mounted; and a spirally wound shield provided with a direct ground or preferably a floating ground connection and wound at least partly on the braid shield and extended substantially between two ends of the braid shield.
  • grounding to the bare conductive wire is desirable or preferably needed no matter what grounding methods are used.
  • the bare conductive wire could be grounded at any particular position because grounding at any point of the bare conductive wire being mounted on the braids should also work.
  • the spirally wound shield comprises at least one turn of a bare conductive wire provided with a direct ground or floating ground connection and preferably connected in series with the ground terminal of the cable and/or any other grounding positions on electrical components of the cable and/or the earth ground; and/or the spirally wound shield is in conductive connection with the braid shield; and/or the spirally wound shield might be arranged at preset positions along the length of the cable for specific applications and is preferably arranged near the output end of the cable for optimized output quality thereof.
