Definitions
- the invention relates to a mechanically flexible hose for guiding a fluid.
- One object of the invention is to create a mechanically flexible hose for guiding a fluid which further enables a secure and reliable electrical signal transfer.
- a hose for guiding a fluid comprises a tubular element, which is configured to radially limit a fluid duct along a longitudinal axis of the tubular element to guide a fluid, and a cover layer for protection against environmental influences, which surrounds the tubular element with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- the hose further comprises a signal layer for electrical signal transfer, which surrounds the tubular element and which is arranged radially between the tubular element and the cover layer with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- the hose further comprises a shielding layer for electromagnetic shielding of the signal layer, which surrounds the signal layer and which is arranged radially between the signal layer and the cover layer with respect to the longitudinal axis, wherein the shielding layer comprises an electrically conductive and flexible material.
- the described hose realizes an assembly for guiding a fluid and transferring an electrical signal with a beneficial mechanical flexibility and a reliable electric shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency
- EMI electromagnetic interference
- the configuration of the hose and the arrangement of the signal layer and the shielding layer enable a reliable signal transfer and electrical shielding against interference from electromagnetical fields. Further, there is no need for a conductive copper wire wrapping around the tubular element and thus the described hose allows for a space-saving design and advantageous mechanical flexibility. Thus, the described hose is capable of both a secure transport of fluid, such as a gaseous or liquid medium, and a reliable transfer of an electrical signal with an improved electromagnetic shield effectiveness.
- fluid such as a gaseous or liquid medium
- EMI and RFI can hamper the reception of an electrical signal by a recipient if such a signal has a similar frequency.
- electromagnetic waves generated by electronic devices may generate interference fields which can negatively affect the functionality of other electronic devices.
- EMI and RFI can cause suppression of signals generated internally in an electronic device.
- this may relate to a conventional concrete vibrator hose.
- a hose may not be capable of fully shielding cables which pass through the hose. Therefore, EMI and RFI may cause malfunctions in devices such as an internal vibrator which is used to prevent air bubbles in the concrete liquid. Common rubber compounds of concrete vibrator hoses do not shield the cables efficiently from EMI and RFI.
- conventional vibrator hoses and further common hose constructions comprise a tube and further related components such as conductive copper wires and steel wires which spirally surround the tube but which may form an insufficient electric shielding and disadvantageously affect the thickness and mechanical flexibility of the hose.
- the conductive copper wires might be wrapped between layers but normally provide restricted and improvable protection to interior cables due to gaps between the wires which cause EMI and RFI leakage.
- the signal layer comprises electrical conductive material and is capable to
- the signal layer may completely surround the tubular element with respect to the longitudinal axis and forms a kind of a tube or a sleeve around the tubular element.
- the signal layer can surround the tubular element in sections such that it partially encloses the tubular element and for example covers an upper or bottom side of the tubular element with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- the signal layer completely encloses the tubular element or is spirally wrapped around it along the longitudinal axis.
- the longitudinal axis may represent a central axis of a rotationally symmetric hose. In a non-bended state of the hose or if the hose is not winded up the longitudinal axis substantially represents a linear line. In a bended state the longitudinal axis may represent a circle or spiral or a curve section.
- the shielding layer completely surrounds the signal layer with respect to the longitudinal axis and thus realizes a kind of a tube or a sleeve around the signal layer.
- the shielding layer can surround the signal layer in sections such that it partially covers the signal layer and for example encloses an upper or bottom side of the signal layer with respect to the longitudinal axis. Due to its conductive and flexible material the shielding layer contributes to a beneficial mechanical flexibility of the hose and allows for advantageous shielding against electromagnetic influences.
- the shielding layer is formed as a shielding fabric.
- a shielding fabric comprising a conductive material, for example a metal such as copper or aluminium, with flexible and light weight so that the fabric enables a reliable electrical signal transfer without or at least with little restriction of the mechanical flexibility of the hose.
- Wrapping shielding fabric between the tubular element and the cover layer enables effective electromagnetic shielding of the inner signal layer and realizes high resistance to EMI and RFI.
- Such a configuration of the described hose and its shielding layer eliminates any open gap or minimizes the gaps and contributes to prevent interference fields due to EMI and RFI leakage.
- the shielding layer in such a configuration of a conductive, flexible and light weight shielding fabric maintains conductivity through the entire length of the hose without the need of a conductive copper wire.
- the signal layer is formed as a signal fabric. Such signal layer contributes to a thin, space-saving design of the hose and enables reliable electrical signal transfer.
- the signal layer is formed as a flat ribbon cable.
- a flat ribbon cable still realizes a kind of layer which partially covers the tubular element along the longitudinal axis.
- the flat ribbon cable is arranged at an upper or bottom side of the tubular element or is spirally wrapped around the tubular element with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- the signal layer designed as a flat ribbon cable allows for electrical signal transfer of various signals simultaneously.
- the hose comprises a first reinforcement layer which surrounds the tubular element.
- the first reinforcement layer allows for protection and stability enhancement of the hose.
- the first reinforcement layer may be arranged radially between the tubular element and the signal layer or between the signal layer and the shielding layer with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- the hose might comprise a further second reinforcement layer for protection and stability enhancement arranged radially between the first reinforcement layer and the shielding layer with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- the one or more reinforcement layer comprises metallic material which covers the respective layer below in the form of a fabric and contributes to sufficient electromagnetic shielding of the signal layer with respect to high and low frequency interference fields.
- the hose comprises a screening layer for electromagnetic shielding, which surrounds the signal layer and which is arranged radially between the signal layer and the cover layer with respect to the longitudinal axis.
- a screening layer might realize one of the aforementioned first or second reinforcement layer or forms an additional layer for improved electromagnetic shielding of the hose and its signal layer.
- the hose comprises one or more isolation layers for electrical isolation, which surrounds at least the signal layer as well as the further layers of the hose.
- the isolation layer can realize the cover layer of the hose or form an additional layer for improved electrical isolation and protection against environmental influences.
- the isolation layer may be arranged radially between the screening layer and the cover layer with respect to the longitudinal axis.
