Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of gaskets and seals for blocking passage of environmental effects and electromagnetic interference (EMI) through sealed gaps in conductive structures.
  • EMI electromagnetic interference
  • the invention concerns an EMI blocking seal of indefinite length, formed by helically wrapping a conductive web of thread, yarn or fabric around a resilient core.
  • the core can be a hollow tube of thermoplastic or thermosetting elastomer and the sheath is preferably formed by a closely wrapped twisted yarn of metallized nylon. This structure provides an effective EMI seal of a very small diameter.
  • EMI gaskets, seals and the like are used to bridge electrically across gaps between conductive structures in electrical and electronic equipment.
  • the conductive structures can be fixed together by fasteners through their abutting surfaces at the gap, such as with internal shielding panels that block propagation of high frequency components between one portion of an electronic apparatus and another, or can be movable, such as the outer panels of a conductive enclosure or housing. Often it is appropriate to provide an EMI gasket between abutting portions of the housing of an electronic device, which portions are snapped together or attached using screws.
  • the seal includes an elongated resilient seal body that has conductive material extending laterally across the seal body, as needed to electrically couple between the conductive structures defining the gap.
  • the conductive material is sometimes provided by a seal body material having a relatively low electrical resistance, and sometimes by providing a conductive coating or sheath on a non-conductive body made of rubber or a compressible polymer.
  • the conductive material can have openings that render the conductive material discontinuous along the length of the seal.
  • the dimensions of any openings in the conductive material of a seal intended to attenuate relatively higher frequency EMI must be relatively smaller than openings in a seal to attenuate lower frequencies.
  • the performance of the seal in blocking EMI is a function of its conductivity and the extent to which the conductive material fills the gap between the conductive panels, at least down to the opening size needed for the frequencies to be blocked.
  • the seal is resiliently compressible to accommodate variations in the dimensions of the gap between the conductive structures, for example due to surface irregularities in the conductive panels, variations in the parallelism of the panel edges, etc.
  • the seal is dimensioned such that the panels at least slightly compress the seal at the widest part of the gap, thereby achieving electrical contact and making the seal electrically conductive across the gap all along the longitudinal extension of the gap.
  • a seal that is compressed between panels will assume a compressed shape that remains over time, an aspect of resilient materials known as shape memory or reverse load loss. It is desirable that a seal have minimal shape memory, and return to nearly its original shape even after being compressed and relaxed a number of times. If the seal remains more and more compressed over time, the seal may become smaller than the gap or may fail to bear its conductive material against the sealed panels with sufficient force to maintain good electrical contact.
  • the seal advantageously makes a nearly airtight or dust-tight bridge across the gap.
  • a seal is to be used between conductive panels defining an outer housing, or perhaps defining part of an air flow channel for cooling, the seal should seal environmentally against the panels to thereby block passage of moisture or dust.
  • a seal against moisture may be particularly important in connection with pocket size electronic devices, which may be inadvertently dropped into standing water.
  • Miniature electronic devices such as portable radios, tape or disk players, personal organizers, palm-top computers, cellular and portable telephones and the like fall into this category.
  • Such devices also often have high frequency oscillators for crystal clocks or phase locking tuners, that are appropriately shielded against emissions entering or escaping from their enclosures.
  • EMI and environmental sealing can present substantial problems because there is very little space for the seal and a small diameter, precisely dimensioned seal is advantageous.
  • US Patents 4,857,668 - Buonanno and 5,045,635 - Kaplo et al disclose EMI blocking seals that include a compressible core and a sheathing that is provided with a conductive material for achieving electromagnetic and environmental sealing.
  • a foamed polymer core of polyurethane or the like is formed in a thin sheath of fabric such as ripstop nylon that has been metallized and/or covered with a coating having suspended conductive particles.
  • the uncured core material can be applied to the sheath as a liquid, with a blowing agent, curing agent and any necessary thixotropic agents.
  • the liquid polymer is placed on an elongated strip of sheath material extending longitudinally along a travelling channel mold that defines the cross section of the finished seal.
  • the strip is slightly wider than the circumference of the finished seal and is wrapped over after application of the liquid polymer and curing agent, to form a longitudinal seam along the elongated seal.
  • the seal is heat treated in the travelling channel mold. As the foam core expands against the fabric strip and cures, the surface of the foam contacts and binds to the fabric, resulting in a good physical attachment of the core and the sheath.
  • the sheath which is conductive, extends fully around the core.
  • the seal When the seal is engaged between conductive panels defining a gap, two thicknesses of conductive fabric traverse the gap (i.e., on the opposite lateral sides of the seal).
  • the seal is relatively flexible, has a low shape memory, particularly when not severely compressed repeatedly, and is effective against passage of moisture and dust. However, it is difficult to make in small diameters due to the precision needed in positioning, filling and wrapping the sheath on the foam core.
  • EMI seals having a resilient core and a conductive sheath are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patents 4,720,606; 5,028,739; 3,555,168; 4,652,695; 4,098,633; and 4,857,668.
  • the core material may be a polyurethane foam
  • the sheath may be a woven or knitted fabric or a nonwoven sheet comprising conductive filaments or a conductive coating.
  • the seals are dimensioned and made of component materials determined by the design parameters of the particular application. It is possible to achieve a range of compression and recovery characteristics by varying the seal material, the density of the foam core and the like.
  • problems with complex arrangements of the conductive and resilient elements of a seal, and good control of the resilience and dimensions of the seal are such that very small seals are difficult to make and use effectively.
  • the seal of the present invention is intended to meet the need for a small diameter conductive seal using a resilient core that preferably comprises a core of extruded thermosetting or thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the core can be solid, hollow or foamed.
  • the core can be homogeneous or not, for example with an axially inner core of a different durometer than an annular outer core.
  • the core is formed as a hollow polymer tube.
  • a conductive outer layer or sheath is wound helically on the core.
  • the core provides the shape memory and resilience characteristics needed to conform to irregularities.
  • the conductive outer layer can be a sheath of metalized polymer strands, yarn or fabric, providing a flexible EMI resistant barrier using a minimum of conductive materials.
  • the sheath can be wound on a preformed core to which adhesive has been applied, or can be wrapped on the core tube upon emergence of the tube from an extruder, while tacky and perhaps expanding, whereby the sheath is firmly affixed to the core.
  • This arrangement effectively and inexpensively produces very small diameter EMI- environmental seals, of 0.5 to 3.5mm outside diameter, preferably 1 to 3mm outside diameter, that are particularly appropriate to handle sealing problems of small electronic devices.
  • a seal for blocking propagation of electromagnetic energy comprising an elastomeric core, which may be a hollow tube, the core being wrapped helically with a continuous length of conductive material, thereby forming a conductive sheath.
  • the tube can be formed, for example, of a thermoplastic or thermosetting elastomer such as a urethane polymer or a similar elastomer, and can be solid and homogeneous, foamed (i.e. with hollow cells), and/or provided with distinct inner and outer portions having different durometers, densities or other characteristics due to differences in their component compounds or processing.
  • the core and the conductive wrapping may be formed sequentially or co-extruded.
  • the core is preformed and fully cured, then coated with adhesive and wrapped with the conductive sheathing thread, yarn or fabric as the core is fed linearly through a sheathing apparatus that passes the sheathing in the form of a continuous thread, yarn or web circularly around the advancing core.
  • a freshly extruded core can be conductively wrapped prior to complete curing of the surface of the polymer core, forming a durable bond, including by intrusion of the core material into interstices between fibers of the sheath.
  • the conductive wrapping can be placed by helically wrapping the tube with a thin strip of conductive fabric such as metallized nylon (e.g., 1/16 inch wide) as the core is extruded.
  • the conductive fabric web can be wrapped with each successive wrap abutting the next, thereby forming a continuous sheath.
  • successive wraps of the conductive fabric can be lapped.
  • the successive wraps can be spaced slightly along the length of the seal, defining a helical gap. Leaving a helical gap reduces the amount of conductive fabric required per unit length of tube. Gapping or simply abutting the helical wraps allows the seal to bend easily. Where the successive wraps abut, mounting the seal around a tight bend may result in a gap between the wraps on the outer radius of the bend, however, the helical wrap provides some protection and support, as well as conductivity.
  • the conductive wrapping can be formed by helically wrapping the tube with conductive strands of thread or yarn, e.g. of a metalized polymer.

Abstract

Un joint d'étanchéité allongé (10) pour assurer une protection contre les interférences électromagnétiques et une protection environnmentale contre les poussières, l'air et l'humidité, est agencé pour pouvoir être produit avec de très petits diamètres. Le joint d'étanchéité (10) est destiné à assurer la protection environnementale et électrique dans un espace entre des corps conducteurs (90), en s'adaptant aux irrégularités. Le joint d'étanchéité (10) a un noyau élastique compressible (20) qui peut être creux (30) et réalisé en un élastomère thermodurcissable ou thermplastique tel qu'un polymère oléfinique thermoplastique. On forme le noyau (20) et on l'enveloppe par une gaine flexible et électriquement conductrice (40) enroulée en hélice sur le noyau sous la forme d'un ou de plusieurs filaments (42) ou sous la forme d'une bande allongée de tissu (44). Les filaments ou le tissu peuvent être en fibres synthétiques métallisées. Une couche de revêtement externe (80) améliore la résistance à l'abrasion et à la corrosion. Les enroulements hélicoïdaux successifs peuvent se chevaucher, se juxtaposer (50) ou laisser des espacements entre eux. La gaine peut être collée sur le noyau ou enroulée sur le noyau avant que le noyau ne soit complètement durci. Le joint d'étanchéité est particulièrement bien adapté à de petits diamètres, par exemple pour isoler un dispositif électronique tenu à la main ou similaire.
