DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described below, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A flexible communication cable comprises a cable body 1 and a cable auxiliary body 2 detachably connected to the cable body 1, wherein two or more cable auxiliary bodies 2 can be connected side by side. Figure 2 As shown, the three cable auxiliary bodies 2 correspondingly arrange the three cable main bodies 1 in a row, which can effectively prevent multiple flexible communication cables from twisting and entangled with each other during frequent bending, thereby improving the reliability of the use of the flexible communication cables.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cable auxiliary body 2 includes a bendable reinforcement body 21 arranged along the axial direction of the cable body 1. The reinforcement body 21 is used to reduce the flexibility of the cable body 1 and increase the rigidity of the cable body 1 without affecting the bending flexibility of the cable body 1. By increasing the rigidity of the cable body 1 from the outside, its bending radius is constrained and controlled to avoid the situation where the bending radius of the cable body 1 exceeds the minimum bending radius during frequent bending, thereby affecting its reliability in use. The reliability of the use of the flexible communication cable is effectively improved, and the stability of signal transmission is ensured.

[0027] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The reinforcing body 21 is provided with a plurality of connectors 22 for connecting and fixing the cable body 1. The connectors 22 are distributed along the axial direction of the cable body 1 and can move in this direction to form a plurality of movable fixed connection points. The reinforcing body 21 is arranged along the axial direction of the cable body 1 and connected to the cable body 1 through the connectors 22. The connectors 22 move in the axial direction to facilitate flexible change of the connection points according to actual conditions. A sliding connector 23 is provided between the connector 22 and the reinforcing body 21. The sliding connector 23 includes a sliding member 231 slidably connected to the reinforcing body 21. A rotating member 232 is spirally connected to the sliding member 231. The rotating member 232 is fixedly connected to the connecting head 22, and a pressing member 233 and an elastic member 234 are rotatably connected to the rotating member 232. Both the elastic member 234 and the pressing member 233 are slidably connected to the sliding member 231. The connecting head 22 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing body 21. The elastic member 234 applies a certain force on the pressing member 233 through the rotating member 232, so that the pressing member 233 and the reinforcing body 21 are closely contacted and connected, and the friction between the two is used to position and fix the connecting head 22. When it is necessary to move the connecting head 22, it is only necessary to rotate the connecting head 22 to a certain angle to separate the pressing member 233 from the reinforcing body 21, so that the connecting head 22 can be smoothly moved. Figure 5 As shown, when the connecting head 22 is rotated, the rotating member 232 rotates and moves upward, thereby driving the clamping member 233 to move upward and separate from the reinforcing body 21. Conversely, when the connecting head 22 needs to be fixed on the reinforcing body 21, it is only necessary to rotate the connecting head 22 to reset it. The whole process is simple and convenient. It can not only effectively fix the connecting head 22 on the reinforcing body 21 to form a stable fixed connection point, but also flexibly adjust the fixed connection point. The whole process is simple and convenient, and it is easy to use.

[0028] See Figure Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The reinforcing body 21 includes a flat middle part 211, one side of the middle part 211 is provided with a plurality of plug slots 212, and the other side is provided with a plurality of plug connectors 213, the plug slots 212 and the plug connectors 213 correspond one to one, and the connection between two or more cable auxiliary bodies 2 is realized through the plug slots 212 and the plug connectors 213, such as Figure 4As shown, three cable auxiliary bodies 2 are placed in a row, and among the adjacent reinforcing bodies 21, the plug connector 213 on one of the reinforcing bodies 21 is plugged into the plug slot 212 in the other reinforcing body 21, and in this connection mode, the cable auxiliary bodies 2 placed in a row are connected together, and the corresponding cable bodies 1 are also distributed in rows, which can effectively prevent multiple flexible communication cables from twisting and entangled with each other during frequent bending, and the overall flat reinforcing body 21 can further effectively prevent the flexible communication cable from twisting during frequent bending, effectively improving the reliability of the use of the flexible communication cable.

[0029] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The plug slot 212 is an inwardly concave arc structure and an adhesive layer is provided on the arc surface, and the plug connector 213 is an outwardly convex arc structure and an adhesive layer is provided on the arc surface. The cable auxiliary body 2 can be quickly connected and separated by the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer here is Velcro, wherein a positioning block 214 is provided in the plug slot 212, and a positioning groove 215 is provided on the plug connector 213. Through the cooperation of the positioning block 214 and the positioning groove 215, the plug slot 212 and the plug connector 213 are accurately and stably connected together, effectively avoiding that the adhesive layer is directly bonded together due to misalignment during the connection process, affecting the overall neatness, thereby reducing the stability of the connection, and combining Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the plug connector 213 is plugged into the plug slot 212, the positioning block 214 will first be inserted into the positioning slot 215 to limit the plug slot 212 and the plug connector 213, so that the two can be quickly and accurately connected together.

[0030] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cable body 1 includes an outer sheath 102 symmetrically provided with grooves 101, and the connector 22 includes an arc-shaped and elastic clamping strip 221 and a symmetrically provided limiting head 222 corresponding to the grooves 101. Figure 2 As shown, the cable body 1 is automatically inserted into the card strip 221 by the card slot of the card strip 221 to connect and fix the cable body 1, and the limit head 222 is stuck in the corresponding groove 101, which can effectively improve the stability of the connection between the cable body 1 and the card strip 221, wherein the limit head 222 is arranged at a position other than the end of the card strip 221, and the end of the card strip 221 is slightly convex outward, such as Figure 4 As shown, the stability of the repeated assembly and disassembly connection between the cable body 1 and the clamping strip 221 can be effectively increased as a whole.

[0031] See also Figure 2The cable body 1 includes a connecting layer 103 with a wavy structure, and the inner side of the outer sheath 102 is wavy and connected to the connecting layer 103. The wavy connecting layer 103 increases the firmness and stability of the connection between the outer sheath 102 and the core body, thereby helping to improve the stability and reliability of the flexible communication cable during frequent and complete use, and avoiding the outer sheath 102 and the core body from loosening and separating during use, thereby affecting the stability of use.

[0032] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sliding member 231 includes a sliding portion 2311 of a spherical structure and a limiting portion 2312 of a rectangular structure. A track groove 25 corresponding to the sliding member 231 is provided on the reinforcing body 21. Both the sliding portion 2311 and the limiting portion 2312 slide along the track groove 25. Figure 4 As shown, the track groove 25 includes an arcuate portion 251 corresponding to the sliding portion 2311 and a rectangular portion 252 corresponding to the limiting portion 2312. When the sliding member 231 slides on the reinforcing body 21 along the axial direction of the cable body 1, the sliding portion 2311 slides along the arcuate portion 251. The sliding portion 2311 with a spherical structure can not only slide along the axial direction under the limitation of the arcuate portion 251, but also effectively reduce its contact area with the arcuate portion 251, and correspondingly reduce the friction between the two, which is beneficial to improve the sliding flexibility of the sliding member 231. At the same time, the limiting portion 2312 is limited by the rectangular portion 252 so that it does not rotate with the rotation of the connector 22, providing a stable carrier for the rotation and lifting of the rotating member 232 and the pressing connection and separation of the pressing member 233 and the reinforcing body 21, thereby improving the stability of the overall use of the present invention.
