Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a connecting cable, and more particularly to a connecting cable that avoids power and signal loss. [Background Technology]

[0002] Figure 1 A cable is shown, with one end for connecting to a first device (host) and the other end for connecting to a second device (device). The cable has a power line (a) and a signal line (b). When the cable is in use, the first device (host) transmits power to the second device (device) via the power line (a). Subsequently, the first device (host) and the second device (device) communicate via the signal line (b), thereby enabling high-speed signal transmission between the first device (host) and the second device (device).

[0003] However, the cable experiences power loss during transmission, and the longer the cable, the more power it consumes. Therefore, when the cable exceeds a certain length, if the first device (host) transmits power to the second device (device) via power cable a, the second device may not receive enough power due to the excessive length of the cable. This prevents the initiation of high-speed signal transmission between the first device (host) and the second device, thus rendering the cable unable to transmit high-speed signals.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an improved connecting cable to overcome the above problems. [Summary of the Invention]

The first power supply module 42 is connected to the first controller 43 via a third path 8, enabling the first power supply module 42 to provide power to the first controller 43 through the third path 8. When the first device 4 is connected to the first connector 1, the first power supply module 42 is connected to the first energy docking part 122 of the first connector 1, enabling the first power supply module 42 to connect to the first energy module 13 through the first energy docking part 122.

When the second device 5 is connected to the second connector 2, the second power supply module 52 is connected to the second energy docking part 222 of the second connector 2, enabling the second power supply module 52 to connect to the second energy module 23 through the second energy docking part 222.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the connecting line A is in use, the first device 4 is connected to the first connector 1, and the second device 5 is connected to the second connector 2. The first power supply module 42 supplies power to the first power module 13 through the first power interface 122, thereby energizing the first connector 1. The first power module 13 not only provides power to the operation of the various components in the first connector 1, but also stores a portion of the power (in other embodiments, the first device 4 may not have the first power supply module 42, so that when the first device 4 is connected to the first connector 1, the first power module 13 can provide power to the first device 4). The first controller 43 is connected to the first control module 14 through the first power interface 1211, and the first controller 43 can provide power to the first control module 14 through the first power interface 1211. The first chip module 141 in the first control module 14 is connected to the first controller 43 through the first detection interface 1212, so that a detection signal (not shown, the same below) is transmitted between the first chip module 141 and the first controller 43. The detection signal can transmit information about the first connector 1 recorded in the first chip module 141 (this information may include the transmission power and transmission speed of the first connector 1, etc.) to the first device 4. The first control module 14 transmits a wake-up signal (not shown, the same below) to the first driver through the first path 6, causing the first driver module 15 to enable the first signal docking part 123 to transmit signals to the high-speed transmission channel 3, thereby enabling the first device 4 and the first connector 1 to transmit high-speed transmission signals through the first signal docking part 123.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second power supply module 52 supplies power to the second power supply module 23 through the second power interface 222, thereby energizing the second connector 2. The second power supply module 23 not only provides power to the operation of the various components in the second connector 2, but also stores a portion of the power (in other embodiments, the second device 5 may not have the second power supply module 52, so that when the second device 5 is connected to the second connector 2, the second power supply module 23 can provide power to the second device 5). The second controller 53 is connected to the second control module 24 through the second power interface 2211, and the second controller 53 can provide power to the second control module 24 through the second power interface 2211. The second chip module 241 in the second control module 24 is connected to the second controller 53 through the second detection interface 2212, allowing the detection signal to be transmitted between the second chip module 241 and the second controller 53. The detection signal can transmit information about the second connector 2 recorded in the second chip module 241 (this information may include the transmission power and transmission speed of the second connector 2, etc.) to the second device 5. The second control module 24 transmits the wake-up signal to the second drive module 25 through the second path 7, causing the second drive module 25 to activate the signal transmission of the second signal interface 223 to the high-speed transmission channel 3, thereby enabling the second device 5 and the second connector 2 to transmit high-speed signals through the second signal interface 223. Furthermore, the first drive module 15 and the second drive module 25 are also connected through the high-speed transmission channel 3, thus enabling the transmission of high-speed signals between the first device 4 and the second device 5.

[0036] In summary, the connecting wire of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0037] (1) When the connecting line A is in use, the first device 4 mates with the first connector 1, and the second device 5 mates with the second connector 2. The first device 4 and the second device 5 respectively transmit power to the first control module 14 and the second control module 24 of the second device 5, so that the first control module 14 can activate the first signal docking part 123 for signal transmission to the high-speed transmission channel 3, and the second device 5 and the second control module 24 can activate the second signal docking part 223 for signal transmission to the high-speed transmission channel 3. Thus, when the connecting line A is long, it is not necessary to transmit power from the first connector 1 to the second connector 2 and the second control module 24. The first signal docking part 123 can be directly activated for high-speed signal transmission to the high-speed transmission channel 3, and the second signal docking part 223 can be activated for high-speed signal transmission to the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 of the high-speed transmission channel 3. This avoids power loss and is beneficial for the transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0038] (2) The connecting line A is provided with a first power connector 1211 connecting to the first control module 14, and also with a first detection connector 1212 connecting to the first chip module 141, wherein the first detection connector 1212 transmits the detection signal to the first chip module 141; the connecting line A is also provided with a second power connector 2211 connecting to the second control module 24, and also with a second detection connector 2212 connecting to the second chip module 241, wherein the second detection connector 2212 transmits the detection signal to the second chip module 241 for transmission. Thus, the detection signal does not need to be transmitted from the first connector 1 through the transmission line b (CC line) to the second connector 2, thereby avoiding signal loss during transmission and facilitating the transmission of high-frequency signals.

[0039] (3) The first control module 14 and the second control module 24 are synchronized via optical fiber signals. This allows the first control module 14 to activate the first signal interface 123 for signal transmission to the high-speed transmission channel 3, and the second control module 24 to activate the second signal interface 223 for signal transmission to the high-speed transmission channel 3 synchronously. Moreover, optical fiber transmission has the characteristics of high transmission speed and short time. This allows the first signal interface 123 and the second signal interface 223 to quickly and synchronously activate signal transmission to the high-speed transmission channel 3, which is beneficial for the transmission of high-frequency signals.
