TAPE AND CABLE COMPOSED OF THEREOF

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201920785830.8 filed on May 28, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to a tape and a cable composed thereof.

BACKGROUND

A cable is widely used in various electrical devices. The cable can be used to transmit electric energy and electrical signals. For example, in the field of imaging, the cable is used for a power transmission between cameras and external devices (e.g., external power grids) . The cable may also be used for connection among one or more components therein. In some situations, relative movements among the one or more components may be required, such as rotating or bending, in order to meet the actual requirements of imaging (e.g., various imaging angles) by the cameras. When the one or more components is moved, the cable connected to the one or more components may be moved accordingly. As a result, the cable may be deformed. A kinetic friction between the cable and the one or more components may be generated easily. The cable will be worn or damaged due to the kinetic friction. The life of the cable may be shortened as well.

Some conventional means may be adopted to protect the cable. For example, one or more pipes, such as a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, are used to enclose the cable to prevent the wearing of the cable. Since the diameter of the pipe is usually much larger than that of the cable, the friction between the cable and the enclosed pipe may be unavoidable. Besides, the high hardness of the pipe may result in a poor fatigue strength. Therefore, the pipe may be easily damaged when it is bent or twisted, thereby failing to provide the protection for the cable. As another example, a conventional tape may be used to wrap the cable for protection. The conventional tape, with a whole surface coated with an adhesive layer, is wrapped around the cable, usually overlapped, which may cause a cracking and detachment of the tape. For example, when the cable is forced to bend, the tape would also bend. Thus, the adhesive layer is broken, further resulting in the separation between the adhesive layer and the type, and the separation between the tape and the cable. Consequently, the cable would lose protection from the type. These shortcomings listed above are more serious at a lower temperature. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a tape for wrapping the cable so as to protect the cable effectively.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth by way of examples in order to provide a thorough understanding of the relevant disclosure. However, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure may be practiced without such details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, systems, components, and/or circuitry have been described at a relatively high-level, without detail, in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring aspects of the present disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Thus, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments shown, but to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the claims.

The terminology used herein is for the purposes of describing particular examples and embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a, ” “an, ” and “the” may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be further understood that the terms “include” and/or “comprise, ” when used in this disclosure, specify the presence of integers, devices, behaviors, stated features, steps, elements, operations, and/or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other integers, devices, behaviors, features, steps, elements, operations, components, and/or groups thereof.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are provided as a tape including a substrate layer (e.g., a substrate layer 110 illustrated in FIGs. 1-5) and an adhesive layer (e.g., an adhesive layer 120 illustrated in FIGs. 1-5) . In some embodiments, the substrate layer may be made of a thin film, e.g., a stripe-shaped film. The substrate layer may include a first surface (e.g., a first surface 111 illustrated in FIGs. 3-5) and a second surface (e.g., a second surface 114 illustrated in FIGs. 3-5) opposite to the first surface. In some embodiments, the first surface of the substrate layer may include a first region (e.g., a first region 113 illustrated in FIG. 2) having non-adhesive characteristics (e.g., also referred to as “non-adhesive region” ) and a second region (e.g., a second region 112 illustrated in FIG. 2) having adhesive characteristics (e.g., also referred to as “adhesive region” ) . The first region and the second region may extend along a longitudinal direction of the substrate layer and be juxtaposed along a width direction of the substrate layer. In some embodiments, the first region and the second region may be arranged adjacent to each other in the width direction of the substrate layer. In some embodiments, the first region and the second region may be arranged at a certain distance interval (e.g., 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, etc. ) in the width direction of the substrate layer. In some embodiments, the adhesive layer may be disposed on the second region. The adhesive layer may be applied to various objects, such as cables, wires, or pipelines.

Compared with the adhesive region, there exists no adhesive layer disposed on the non-adhesive region. In some embodiments, when the tape is wound around an object (e.g., a cable) , the adhesive layer disposed on the adhesive region is used to stick to and immobilize the object. There may be no adhesion between the non-adhesive region and the second surface contacting with the non-adhesive region when the tape is spirally wound around the object.

For example, when using the tape to bond two objects, the adhesive layer of the tape may be used to bond the two objects. Taking a cable as an example, the tape can be spirally wound around the body of the cable (e.g., the cable body 200) , the adhesive layer may be adhesively attached to the cable body in order to protect the cable body. Due to the designs of the non-adhesive region and the adhesive region on the first surface of the substrate layer of the tape, when the tape is wrapped around the cable body, a direct adhesion between the overlapped layers of the tape wrapped around the cable may be avoided. In addition, that the adhesive region may not be overlapped or stick to itself on the surface of the cable body, which, as a result, when the cable being bent or twisted, may not affect the adhesive effect between the cable body and the tape. Since the tape does not stick to itself, when wrapped around the cable, the relative movement between the wrapper tape , i.e., tape 100 wrapped around the cable, and the cable body may be avoided or reduced. The adhesive effect between the cable body and the wrapper tape may be guaranteed. The tape illustrated in the present disclosure may be widely applied to various applications and have a good flexibility in use. Merely for illustrative purposes, the exemplary tape and the use of the tape may be described in connection with FIGs. 1-7 below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present disclosure are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, a preferred embodiment of the tape is described. FIG. 1 shows a perspective drawing view from a first surface of a substrate layer of the tape 100. Reference numeral 113 denotes the first region having non-adhesive characteristics (hereinafter referred as “non-adhesive region” ) . The non-adhesive region 113 is part of the first surface (e.g., the first surface 113 shown in FIG. 3) of the substrate layer (e.g., the substrate layer 110 shown in FIG. 2) of the tape 100. Reference numeral 120 denotes an adhesive layer disposed on the first surface (e.g., the first surface 111) . For example, the adhesive layer 120 is disposed on a second region having adhesive characteristics of the substrate layer of the tape 100. In some embodiments, the adhesive layer 120 has a certain width that is less than that of the substrate layer of the tape 100. FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the first surface (e.g., the first surface 111) of the substrate layer 110 of the tape 100. Reference numeral 112 denotes the second region having adhesive characteristics (hereinafter referred to as “adhesive region” ) . The non-adhesive region 113 and the adhesive region 112 may extend along the longitudinal direction of the substrate layer 110 and be juxtaposed along the width direction of the substrate layer 110. As described in connection with FIG. 1, the adhesive layer 120 may be disposed on the adhesive region 112. In some embodiments, the width of the adhesive layer 120 may be equal to that of the adhesive region 112. FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-section view of a tape according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the tape 100 may include the substrate layer 110 and the adhesive layer 120. The substrate layer 110 may include the first surface 111 and the second surface 114 opposite to the first surface 111. The first surface 111 may include the non-adhesive region 113 and the adhesive region 112 (not shown in FIG. 3) contacting with the adhesive layer 120.

As described in connection with FIGs. 1-3, the first surface 111 and the second surface 114 may be designed to be a flush surface respectively. The adhesive layer 120 is disposed on the adhesive region of the flush surface 114. In some embodiments, when the tape 100 is used to wrap a cable body (e.g., the cable body 200 shown in FIG. 7) , the tape 100 may be usually spirally wound around the cable. To ensure a flatness of the tape 100 wound around the cable body, in some embodiments, a thickness of the adhesive layer 120 may be designed to be equal to a thickness of the substrate layer 110. In some embodiments, the ratio of the thickness of the adhesive layer 120 to the thickness of the substrate layer 110 may be in the range of 1: 10 to 1: 1, alternatively, 1: 3 to 1: 1.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, another preferred embodiment of the tape 100 is provided. The descriptions of FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are not be repeated herein. FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-section view of another tape according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the second surface 114 of the substrate layer 110 may be designed to be the flush surface. Compared with the flush second surface 114, the first surface 111 may be designed to be a surface including a groove-like structure. For example, the adhesive region 112 contacting with the adhesive layer 120 may be recessed relative to the non-adhesive region 113.

In some embodiments, to ensure the flatness of the overall surface of the tape 100, the thickness of the adhesive layer 120 may be equal to the depth of the recess. As shown in FIG. 4, the first surface of the adhesive layer 120 is contacted with the adhesive region 112 (not shown in Fig. 4) , and the second surface of the adhesive layer 120 is flush relative to the surface of the non-adhesive region 113. Considering that the tape 100 is generally sold and used in the form of a roll after being formed, the tape 100 need have a good flatness as a whole. As the design of the tape 100 illustrated in FIG. 4, it is not easy to cause a mismatch between the substrate layer 110 and the adhesive layer 120 when the tape 100 is wound to form a roll. The quality of the tape 100 may be improved.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, another preferred embodiment of the tape is provided. FIG. 5 shows a schematic cross-section view of another tape design according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the second surface 114 of the substrate layer 110 may be designed to be a flush surface. Compared with the flush second surface 114, the first surface 111 may be designed to be a surface including a convex-like structure. For example, the surface of the adhesive region 112 contacting with the adhesive layer 120 may be raised relative to the surface of the non-adhesive region 113. The adhesive layer 120 may be disposed on the raised adhesive region 112. There exists a height difference between the surfaces of the adhesive region 112 and the non-adhesive region 113. It should be noted that the height difference may be set as any suitable values, such as 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and so on.

In some embodiments, when the tape 100 illustrated in FIG. 5 is spirally wound around the cable, to ensure the flatness of the overall surface of the tape 100, the tape 100 may be wound around a structure matched with its convex-like structure.

In some embodiments, as described in connection with FIGs. 1-5, the ratio of the width of the adhesive region 112 to the width of the substrate layer 110 may be set according to actual requirements. In some embodiments, the ratio of the width of the adhesive region 112 to the width of the substrate layer 110 may be in the range of 1: 100 to 1: 1. In some embodiments, the ratio may be in the range of 1: 50 to 1: 10. In some embodiments, the ratio may be in the range of 1: 10 to 1: 5. In some embodiments, the ratio may be in the range of 1: 5 to 1: 3. It should be noted that the ratio between the adhesive region 112 and the substrate layer 110 may be not intended to be limiting. Any suitable ratio between the adhesive region 112 and the substrate layer 110 may be set in order to apply to various application.

In some embodiments, the substrate layer 110 may be a thin film made of a transparent material, which can facilitate to an identification of the adhesive layer 120 and the non-adhesive region 113 of the substrate layer 110. Exemplary transparent materials include polyester materials, polyethylene (PE) materials, polypropylene materials (e.g., BOPP, a biaxially oriented polypropylene film) , fibrous materials, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the substrate layer 120 may be a thin film made of opaque materials. Exemplary opaque materials may include at least one of woven fabrics, braided fabrics, non-woven fabrics, or the like, or any combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the adhesive layer 120 may be made of one or more adhesive agents. Exemplary adhesive agents may include polyurethane materials, nature rubber materials, synthetic rubbers, resin materials, silicone materials, or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the adhesive layer 120 may be presented in a color different from that of the substrate layer 110. For example, the adhesive layer 120 may be made of hybrid materials composed of one or more adhesive agents and pigments. Such design may facilitate to identify the substrate layer and the adhesive layer.

FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the second surface 114 of the substrate layer 110 of the tape 100. As shown in FIG. 6, the second surface may include a tag line 115 indicative of a border between the non-adhesive region 113 and the adhesive region 112. In some cases, since the adhesive layer 120 is disposed on the adhesive region 112, when a user utilizes the tape 100 to wrap an object, it is convenient for the user to identify the border between the non-adhesive region 113 and the adhesive layer 120, thereby improving the usability of the tape.

In some embodiments, to achieve a good contact between the first surface 111 and the second surface 114 when the tape 100 is spirally wrapped, either of the first surface 111 and the second surface 114 may be designed to be a surface having a certain friction coefficient. For example, the first surface 111 within the non-adhesive region 113 may have a first friction coefficient (e.g., in the range of 0.01-0.5) . The first surface 111 within the non-adhesive region 113 may include a first frosted surface. As another example, the second surface 111 of the substrate layer 110 may have a second friction coefficient (e.g., in the range of 0.01-0.6) . The second surface 111 of the substrate layer 110 may be a second frosted surface.

FIG. 7 shows a cable wrapped by an exemplary tape illustrated in FIGs. 1-6. As shown in FIG. 7, the cable may include a cable body 200 and the tape 100 is spirally wound around the cable body 200. Merely for illustration, the structure of the tape 100 may be the same as or similar to that of the tape 100 illustrated in FIGs. 1-3. In some embodiments, the cable body 200 may be composed of one or more elongated cable cores. The one or more elongated cable cores may be made of conductive materials or light-guide materials. The cable may, via the one or more elongated cable cores, transmit electrical signals or optical signals. In some embodiments, when the tape 100 is spirally wound around the cable body 200, the adhesive layer 120 (not shown in FIG. 7) may be not attached to the second surface of the tape 100. In other words, as shown in FIG. 7, the second region 112 contacting with the adhesive layer 120 is directly attached to the cable body 200, and the non-adhesive region 113 is attached to the second surface of the tape 100. By the usage of the tape 100 and the spiral wrapping method, the tape 100 may be completely wound around the cable body 200 in order to better protect the cable body 200. For example, the cable body 200 may not be damaged or corroded easily due to external forces or corrosive substances. The direct adhesion between the tape 100 and the cable body 200 may facilitate to immobilize the one or more cable cores of the cable body 200. According to the spiral method illustrated in FIG. 7, there is no direct adhesion between the overlapped layers of the wrapper tape100. In the case, although a relative movement occurs between the different parts of the wrapper tape 100, the relative movement may not affect the adhesion effect between the tape 100 and the cable body 200, and make it easier for the occurrence of the relative movement. That is, the cable body 200 may still be immobilized by the wrapper tape 100. For example, if the cable body 200 is bent and/or twisted due to external mechanism forces, the wrapper tape 100 would be deformed and the relative movement may also readily occur accordingly. Thus, the adhesive attachment between the tape 100 and the cable body 200 may not be impacted so as to provide a good protection for the cable body 200. Therefore, the cable body 200 may not be easily damaged due to the uncompromised protection of the tape 100 wound around the cable body 200.

It should be noted that the above descriptions are merely provided for the purpose of illustration, and not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. For persons having ordinary skills in the art, multiple variations and modifications may be made under the teachings of the present disclosure. For example, the tape 100 may be used to wrap ventilation pipes, wires or fiber-optic cables in order to bundle, protect, label, or the seal ventilation pipes, wires or fiber-optic cables.
