Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of data cables, and in particular to a data cable that is resistant to damage and easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics industry, various data cables have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Video data cables are mainly used to connect desktop computers, televisions, and other devices that are not easily moved. As a means of transferring images, videos, and other files, most mainstream video data cables on the market currently have the advantages of simple structure and ease of use.

[0003] However, since the data cable's transmission line and connector are usually made of different materials, the connection between the data cable's transmission line and connector often bends after the connector is plugged in. Over time, data cables that rely solely on the outer sheath to prevent damage are very easy to break, thus shortening the data cable's lifespan. In addition, because the data cable is relatively thick, it is quite cumbersome to store it neatly when not in use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to extend the lifespan of the data cable and make it easier for users to store it, this application provides a data cable that is resistant to damage and easy to store.

[0005] This application provides a data cable that is resistant to damage and easy to store, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] A breakable and easily stored data cable includes:

[0007] A connector is located at both ends of the data cable. A fixing seat is fixedly connected to the connector. The fixing seat has a sliding groove extending from one end to the other end.

[0008] The abutment rod has one end located inside the sliding groove and the other end located outside the sliding groove. A magnetic element is fixedly connected to the end of the abutment rod located inside the sliding groove. An elastic element is fixedly connected to the surface of the magnetic element away from the abutment rod. The other end of the elastic element is fixed inside the sliding groove. The abutment rod can slide along the sliding groove when subjected to pressure.

[0009] A magnetic ring, fitted tightly onto the data cable, is capable of attracting the magnetic component to adjust the extension state of the connection between the data cable and the connector; and

[0010] A storage block is fitted onto the data cable, and a storage groove is provided on the storage block, in which the magnetic ring can be fixed.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the data cable is needed, the user inserts the connector into the interface of the device to be inserted. At this time, the abutment rod is pressed into the sliding groove by the abutment against the side wall of the device. The bottom of the abutment rod is fixed with a magnetic component. At this time, the magnetic component is close to the joint between the data cable and the connector, which can effectively reduce the possibility of breakage at the joint between the data cable and the connector. When the user is finished using the cable, the user pulls out the connector. At this time, the abutment rod is ejected from the sliding groove by the elastic force of the elastic component. At this time, the magnetism of the magnetic ring is weakened, and the user can easily slide the magnetic ring on the data cable. After sliding to a certain position, the magnetic ring can be attracted into the storage block and storage groove, thereby extending the service life of the data cable and making it easier for the user to store the data cable.

[0012] Optionally, multiple sliding grooves are provided, and the multiple sliding grooves are arranged around the connector, with each sliding groove containing one abutment rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple sliding grooves and abutment rods are provided, making the magnetism of the abutment rod near the data cable stronger, which allows the magnetic ring to be better attracted to the junction of the data cable and the connector, thereby providing better protection for the junction of the data cable and the connector.

[0014] Optionally, the number of sliding grooves is one, and the sliding groove is configured to be annular.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding groove is set as a ring around the connector, and the magnetic component at the bottom of the abutment rod is also set as a ring. This allows the magnetic component around the end of the abutment rod near the data cable to better attract the magnetic ring, thereby providing better protection for the connection between the data cable and the connector.

[0016] Optionally, multiple magnetic rings and multiple storage slots are provided, with each magnetic ring corresponding to one of the storage slots.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple magnetic rings are provided, allowing users to adjust the number of magnetic rings according to the location of the transmission device to be plugged in, thereby protecting the connection between the data cable and the connector.

[0018] Optionally, a limiting ring may also be included, which is detachably connected to the data cable.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, after the user finishes using the cable, the limiting ring is attached to the data cable. When the magnetic ring slides to the limiting ring, it cannot slide any further. At this time, the user can attach the magnetic ring to the storage slot, making the data cable easy to store.

[0020] Optionally, the fixing base is provided with a receiving groove, and an anti-slip pad is fixed in the receiving groove. The anti-slip pad is flush with the circumferential surface of the fixing base.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclusion groove and anti-slip pad are designed to allow users to better find the point of leverage when inserting and removing the mounting base, thus making the use of the data cable more convenient. At the same time, the anti-slip pad is flush with the circumferential surface of the mounting base, so that users will not feel uncomfortable when holding the mounting base.

[0022] Optionally, in its natural state, the abutment rod does not protrude from the connector.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic element is in a natural state, which means that the elastic element is not disturbed by external forces. At this time, the abutment rod does not protrude from the connector, which effectively reduces the interference of the abutment to the connector when it is inserted, thus making it more convenient to insert the connector into the transmission equipment to be connected.

[0024] Optionally, when the elastic element is under pressure, the abutment rod does not completely sink into the sliding groove.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic element is in a compressed state, which means that the abutment rod is squeezed by the device to be inserted. At this time, no matter how much force the abutment rod is subjected to, it will not completely sink into the sliding groove, so that the connector will not be completely inserted into the device to be inserted, making it easier and smoother for the user to pull out the connector after use.

[0026] Optionally, the elastic element is a plastic spring.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the elastic element as a plastic spring, firstly, the excessive spring force can be reduced to a certain extent, which can lead to the connector not being able to fit tightly. Secondly, the plastic spring will not attract the magnetic element, allowing the magnetic element to be better attracted to the magnetic ring, thereby providing better protection for the connection between the data cable and the connector.

[0028] Optionally, the data cable may be circular or square.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solutions, data cables can be made more stylish and aesthetically pleasing when flat, and more effective at resisting interference when round. Users can choose data cables of different shapes according to their needs.

[0030] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0031] 1. With the design of connector, abutment rod, magnetic ring, and storage block, users can easily adjust the magnetic ring to protect the data cable or make it easier to store the data cable in the storage block by simply plugging and unplugging the connector. This extends the life of the data cable and makes it easier for users to store it.

[0032] 2. By setting multiple magnetic rings, users can adjust the length of the connection between the data cable and the connector to be protected according to the status of the device to be plugged in, thereby effectively preventing damage to the data cable;

[0033] 3. By setting the shape of the data cable, the flat shape is more stylish and beautiful, while the round cable has stronger anti-interference ability, allowing users to use data cables of different shapes according to their needs. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0043] This application discloses a data cable that is resistant to damage and easy to store.

[0044] It should be noted that, in the description of this invention, the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention. Furthermore, in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0045] In addition, since the interfaces at both ends of the data cable are the same, the attached diagram in this embodiment only shows one end.

[0046] Example 1

[0047] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The data cable 2, which is easy to store and prevents damage, includes a connector 1, a contact rod 4, a magnetic ring 6, and a storage block 7. When the user needs to use the data cable 2 to connect to a transmission device, the connector 1 is inserted into the interface of the transmission device. At this time, the contact rod 4 will slide due to the pressure from the side wall of the transmission device. The bottom of the contact rod 4 is magnetic. When the connector 1 is inserted into the interface of the transmission device, the bottom of the contact rod 4 is located at the junction of the data cable 2 and the connector 1. At this time, the user pushes the magnetic ring 6 to the junction, and the magnetic ring 6 will protect the junction, thus making the data cable 2 less prone to damage and extending its service life.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the transmission device is finished, the user removes the connector 1 from the interface of the transmission device. At this time, the bottom of the abutment rod 4 is away from the junction of the data cable 2 and the connector 1, and the magnetic ring 6 is no longer attracted by the bottom of the abutment rod 4. The magnetic ring 6 can now slide on the data cable 2. When it slides to the length that the user wants to store, the user can hold the magnetic ring 6 and snap it onto the storage block 7 to complete the storage, thus realizing the quick storage of the data cable 2.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 The connector 1 is used to connect to the connection port of the transmission device. The bottom of the connector 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 3. The mounting base 3 is provided with a sliding groove 31. The sliding groove 31 extends from the connector 1 toward the data line 2, and the end away from the connector 1 does not penetrate the mounting base 3.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6Multiple abutment rods 4 are respectively inserted into multiple sliding grooves 31, and the multiple abutment rods 4 correspond one-to-one with the multiple sliding grooves 31. One end of the abutment rod 4 located in the sliding groove 31 is fixedly connected to a magnetic element 41, and an elastic element 5 is fixedly connected to the magnetic element 41. The other end of the elastic element 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the sliding groove 31. It should be noted that the elastic force of the elastic element 5 is relatively small in this embodiment.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, the multiple abutment rods 4 are set as two, and the multiple sliding grooves 31 are set as two.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 The elastic element 5 is made of plastic spring. The plastic spring will not attract or repel the magnetic element 41, so that the magnetic element 41 has a greater attraction force on the magnetic ring 6, which makes the connection between the data cable 2 and the connector 1 more stable.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 When the abutting rod 4 abuts against the transmission device to be connected, the abutting force generated by the transmission device on the abutting rod 4 is relatively large. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic element 5 on the abutting rod 4 is much smaller than the abutting force. Therefore, at this time, the magnetic element 41 at the bottom of the abutting rod 4 is close to the junction of the fixed base 3 and the data cable 2. The magnetic element 41 will generate a strong attraction to the magnetic object at the junction.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 When the elastic element 5 is in its natural state, that is, when the abutment rod 4 is not subjected to external force, the part of the abutment rod 4 located outside the sliding groove 31 does not protrude from the connector 1. This effectively avoids interference between the abutment rod 4 and the connector 1 during insertion, thus allowing the user to insert the connector 1 more smoothly.

[0055] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 When the elastic element 5 is under pressure, that is, when the abutting rod 4 is abutted by the side wall of the insertion device, the abutting rod 4 will not be fully inserted into the sliding groove 31. This prevents the connector 1 from being inserted too deeply into the device to be inserted, thus making it easier for the user to pull out the connector 1.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 Because the side lengths of the connector 1 of the data cable 2 are not uniform, in order to facilitate the user to insert the connector 1 into the transmission device to be used, the abutment rod 4 is set as a rectangle extending from the narrower side to the wider side, so that the user can better plug in the transmission device.

[0057] Reference Figure 6A receiving groove 9 is provided on the fixed base 3, and an anti-slip pad 10 is fixed in the receiving groove 9, so as to facilitate the user to insert and pull the fixed base 3. At the same time, the anti-slip pad 10 is parallel to the circumferential surface of the fixed base 3, so that the user will not feel uncomfortable when holding the fixed base 3 to insert or pull out the connector 1, thus making it easier to insert the connector 1.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 Multiple sliding grooves 31 and multiple abutment rods 4 are arranged in multiple sets, one-to-one. In this embodiment, the multiple sliding grooves 31 and multiple abutment rods 4 are arranged into two sets. Compared with the combination of one sliding groove 31 and one abutment rod 4, the multiple sliding grooves 31 and multiple abutment rods 4 are arranged into two sets, which makes the magnetic component 41 at the bottom of the abutment rod 4 have a stronger adsorption capacity for the magnetic ring 6. This allows the magnetic ring 6 to be stably adsorbed at the junction of the fixing base 3 and the data cable 2, thereby achieving a certain degree of protection for the junction of the fixing base 3 and the data cable 2.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 A magnetic ring 6 is fitted on the data cable 2, which can slide freely on the data cable 2. When the connector 1 is inserted into the transmission device to be connected, the magnetic component 41 approaches the junction of the fixing base 3 and the data cable 2. At this time, the operator slides the magnetic ring 6, and the magnetic ring 6 is attracted by the magnetic component 41, which will cause the magnetic ring 6 to be attracted to the bottom of the fixing base 3, thereby providing better protection for the junction of the fixing base 3 and the data cable 2.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The data cable 2 is also equipped with a storage block 7, which has a storage slot 71 that matches the magnetic ring 6. In this embodiment, the storage block 7 is a cuboid. When the data cable 2 is no longer in use, the magnetic ring 6 will no longer be attracted by the magnetic component 41. At this time, the user can slide the magnetic ring 6 to the data cable 2 to be stored, and then hold the magnetic ring 6 and fasten it into the storage slot 71.

[0061] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, the storage block 7 is made of lightweight plastic, so that the storage block 7 will not interfere with the data cable 2, reducing the possibility of damage to the data cable 2. At the same time, since the inner wall of the storage groove 71 is provided with a magnetic material layer, when the magnetic ring 6 is fastened, the user can easily fasten the magnetic ring 6 in the storage groove 71, achieving the effect of facilitating storage for the user.

[0062] Reference Figure 3Multiple magnetic rings 6 and multiple storage slots 71 are provided, with each magnetic ring 6 and storage slot 71 corresponding to one another. In this embodiment, four magnetic rings 6 and four storage slots 71 are provided, with each of the four magnetic rings 6 corresponding to one of the four storage slots 71.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 When connector 1 is inserted into the transmission device, multiple magnetic rings 6 can be sequentially attracted together as needed. The multiple magnetic rings 6 attracted together protect the junction between the fixing base 3 and the data cable 2, thereby further reducing the possibility of damage to the data cable 2.

[0064] Reference Figure 2 After the data cable 2 is used, in order to make the data cable 2 easier to store, a limiting ring 8 that is compatible with the data cable 2 is provided. The limiting ring 8 is stored separately when not in use. When in use, the user attaches the limiting ring 8 to the bottom of the magnetic ring 6, so that each segment of the data cable 2 has a magnetic ring 6. The limiting ring 8 restricts the sliding of the magnetic ring 6 on the data cable 2, so that the data cable 2 will not slide when the magnetic ring 6 is fastened in the storage slot 71.

[0065] Reference Figure 2 The data cable 2 can be set to be round or square. The attached diagram shows a round one. The square flat data cable 2 is more beautiful and stylish. The round data cable 2 has stronger anti-interference ability. Users can choose different data cables 2 according to different needs.

[0066] The implementation principle of the damage-resistant and easily stored data cable 2 in this application embodiment is as follows: The damage-resistant and easily stored data cable 2 of this application only requires the setting of connector 1, abutment rod 4, magnetic ring 6 and storage block 7. When a transmission device needs to be plugged in, connector 1 is inserted into the transmission device to be used, and abutment rod 4 slides on the fixing base 3. This causes the magnetic element 41 at the bottom of abutment rod 4 to approach the junction of fixing base 3 and data cable 2, so that magnetic ring 6 can be attracted to the junction of fixing base 3 and data cable 2, thereby protecting the junction of fixing base 3 and data cable 2 and reducing the possibility of damage to data cable 2. When data cable 2 is not in use, connector 1 is pulled out, and abutment rod 4 will automatically reset under the elastic force of elastic element 5, so that magnetic ring 6 can slide on data cable 2 again. When magnetic ring 6 slides to a certain position, the user will fasten magnetic ring 6 into storage slot 71, so that data cable 2 is easy to store.

[0067] Example 2

[0068] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the shape and number of sliding grooves 31 are different.

[0069] In Embodiment 2, a single sliding groove 31 is provided, and the sliding groove 31 is annular. Correspondingly, the magnetic component 41 is also annular. This method enables the annular magnetic component 41 at the bottom of the connecting rod to exert the greatest attraction force on the magnetic ring 6, even when made of the same material. Since Embodiment 2 is readily understood based on Embodiment 1, no further drawings are provided for Embodiment 2.

[0070] Compared to Embodiment 2, the advantage of Embodiment 1 is that the embodiment uses multiple sliding grooves 31 and multiple abutment rods 4 to be set one-to-one. Each set of sliding grooves 31 and abutment rods 4 can work independently. If one set of sliding grooves 31 and abutment rods 4 cannot work properly, it will not affect the normal operation of other sets of sliding grooves 31 and abutment rods 4.

[0071] Reference Figure 1-6 This application also discloses a method of using a damage-resistant and easily retractable data cable 2, including the following steps:

[0072] S1. Insertion: The user inserts the connector 1 into the device to be connected. At this time, the abutment rod 4 abuts against the side wall of the device to be connected and slides in the opposite direction to the device to be connected.

[0073] S2, Adsorption: When the user manually pushes the magnetic ring 6, the magnetic ring 6 is attracted by the magnetic component 41 and quickly adsorbs at the junction of the fixing base 3 and the data cable 2.

[0074] S3, Pulling: After the data cable 2 is used up, the user takes out the connector 1 by pulling the fixing seat 3. At this time, the abutting rod 4 is subjected to the elastic force of the elastic element 5, and the abutting rod 4 slides away from the elastic element 5.

[0075] S4. Storage: After the abutment rod 4 pops out, the magnetic ring 6 becomes loose. After the magnetic ring 6 slides on the data cable 2 to a certain position, the user fastens the magnetic ring 6 into the storage slot 71.

[0076] Reference Figure 1-6 This application embodiment describes a method for using a data cable 2 that is easy to store and prevents damage. The steps are: plugging in → adsorption → pulling out → storing. When using the data cable 2, the magnetic ring 6 can effectively protect the joint between the fixing base 3 and the data cable 2, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the data cable 2. After the data cable 2 is used, the magnetic ring 6 is stored in the storage slot 71 of the storage block 7, making the storage of the data cable 2 more convenient, thereby extending the service life of the data cable 2 and making it easier for users to store the data cable 2.

[0077] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
