Abstract
A parking cable has a plurality of plastic split type liners, which reduces frictional resistance between the inner cable and a conduit among the components of the parking cable. The plurality of split type liners is press-fitted and disposed to a desired position in an inner diameter of the conduit. The plastic split type liners may serve as a guide that ensures force for smoothly moving the inner cable and also improve in-line assembly properties. A method of manufacturing the parking cable includes press fitting the plurality of split type liners between the inner cable and the conduit.
Claims12
A parking cable for a vehicle, the parking cable comprising:
- a conduit, which has a tube shape;
- a protective outer coating layer, an outer diameter of the conduit being coated with the protective outer coating layer;
- a plurality of split type liners, which are press-fitted into an inner diameter of the conduit;
- and
- an inner cable, which is movably inserted into the respective split type liners,
- wherein the plurality of split type liners are press-fitted and disposed at the inner diameter of the conduit that deviate from an in-line assembly section and a curved section in an entire length section of the conduit, and wherein the plurality of split type liners include one or more first split type liners press-fitted into an inner diameter portion of the conduit, and second split type liners press-fitted into both end portions of the conduit after the first split type liners are press-fitted into the inner diameter portion of the conduit.
A method of manufacturing a parking cable for a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- i) manufacturing a conduit having a predetermined diameter by winding a metallic wire in a cylindrical shape;
- ii) coating an outer diameter of the conduit with a protective outer coating layer;
- iii) cutting the conduit, which has been coated with the protective outer coating layer, to a desired predetermined length;
- iv) press-fitting a plurality of split type liners into an inner diameter portion of the conduit at the inner diameter of the conduit that deviate from an in-line assembly section and a curved section in an entire length section of the conduit;
- and
- v) assembling cap casings for connecting the parking cable to an operating unit and a brake system to outer diameter portions at both end portions of the conduit.
