DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0034] The embodiment of the present invention provides a data line 1000, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the data line 1000 includes a transmission line body 100 and a terminal assembly 200 arranged on the transmission line body 100, and the terminal assembly 200 includes a shell 210, a mounting seat 220, a first plug terminal 230, a second plug terminal 240 and a flexible wire body 250. An accommodating space 211 is formed inside the shell 210, and the shell 210 is also formed with a first opening 212 connecting the accommodating space 211 with the outside. The mounting seat 220 is arranged in the accommodating space 211 of the shell 210, and the mounting seat 220 is provided with a first plug terminal 230, a second plug terminal 240 and a flexible wire body 250, and the flexible wire body 250 is used for the first plug terminal 230, the second plug terminal 240 and the transmission line body 100 to electrically connect the flexible wire body 250. The mounting base 220 is rotatably connected to the housing 210 and can be rotatably switched between a first position and a second position relative to the housing 210. In the first position, the first plug terminal 230 is exposed to the outside through the first opening 212, and the second plug terminal 240 is received in the accommodating space 211. In the second position, the second plug terminal 240 is exposed to the outside through the first opening 212, and the first plug terminal 230 is received in the accommodating space 211.

[0035] By implementing this embodiment, when the user needs to use the first plug terminal 230, he only needs to rotate and adjust the mounting seat 220 to be located in the first position, and the first opening 212 can be used to expose the first plug terminal 230 for the user to use; when the user needs to use the second plug terminal 240, he only needs to rotate and adjust the mounting seat 220 to be located in the second position, and the second opening 2131 can be used to expose the second plug terminal 240 for the user to use. It can be seen that the data cable 1000 of the present application can be adapted to multiple different types of plug sockets. Compared with the data cable 1000 in the prior art that can only be adapted to a single type of plug socket, the data cable 1000 provided by the embodiment of the present invention has higher versatility.

[0036] It should be noted that there are also data cables 1000 with replaceable plug terminals in the prior art, but such data cables 1000 need to be replaced by adapters, so the replacement of the plug terminals requires plugging and unplugging of the plug terminals. As the number of plugging and unplugging increases, the fit will become looser, so the service life of such data cables 1000 with replaceable plug terminals is generally low. In the present application, the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 are both electrically connected to the transmission line through the flexible wire body 250, and the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 are switched by the rotation of the mounting seat 220. The technical solution is different from the prior art, and there is no need to replace the plug terminals by adapters, so there is no looseness in the plug fit. Therefore, the implementation of this embodiment can effectively improve the service life of the data cable 1000.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that the first plug terminal 230 can be one of the USB-A plug terminal, Type-C plug terminal, Lightning plug terminal and Micro-USB plug terminal; the second plug terminal 240 can be another one of the USB-A plug terminal, Type-C plug terminal, Lightning plug terminal and Micro-USB plug terminal.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the terminal assembly 200 is provided with two, the first plug terminals 230 in the two terminal assemblies 200 are of the same type, and the second plug terminals 240 in the two terminal assemblies 200 are of different types. Exemplarily, the first plug terminals 230 in the two terminal assemblies 200 are both Type-C plug terminals, and in the two terminal assemblies 200, one of the second plug terminals 240 is a USB-A plug terminal, and the other plug terminal is a Lightning plug terminal or a Micro-USB plug terminal. With such a configuration, the data cable 1000 can be adapted to power adapters with USB-A female sockets and Type-C female sockets, as well as electronic products with Type-C female sockets and Lightning female sockets or Micro-USB female sockets, so it has high versatility.

[0039] refer to Figure 2-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 are located on opposite sides of the mounting seat 220, so the mounting seat 220 needs to be switched between the first position and the second position by the user to rotate the mounting seat 220 180 degrees. The housing 210 of this embodiment includes a fixed shell 213, and the fixed shell 213 is at least partially formed with a first opening 212 and a receiving space 211. The fixed shell 213 is connected to the transmission line body 100, and the mounting seat 220 is rotatably connected to the fixed shell 213. The second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 are in the first direction ( Figure 6 The fixing shell 213 is provided with a second opening 2131 and a third opening 2132, and the second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 are directly connected with the first opening 212, so that the second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 can avoid the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 when the mounting seat 220 switches between the first position and the second position. The first direction is perpendicular to the rotation center line of the mounting seat 220.

[0040] It is conceivable that if the accommodation space 211 is larger than the space required for the mounting seat 220, the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 to rotate, the mounting seat 220 can be smoothly switched between the first position and the second position. However, in order to make the accommodation space 211 larger than the space required for the mounting seat 220, the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 to rotate, the size of the housing 210 must be designed to be relatively large. Once the size of the housing 210 is designed to be relatively large, not only will the user acceptance be poor, but the packaging cost and transportation cost of the product will also increase significantly.

[0041] In order to solve this technical problem, the housing 210 of the present embodiment includes a fixed housing 213, the fixed housing 213 is formed with at least a part of the first opening 212 and the accommodating space 211, the fixed housing 213 is connected to the transmission line body 100, the mounting housing is rotatably connected to the fixed housing 213, the fixed housing 213 is formed with a second opening 2131 and a third opening 2132, the second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 are arranged on opposite sides of the fixed housing 213 in the first direction; in this way, when the mounting seat 220 switches between the first position and the second position, the second opening 2131 can be used to avoid the first plug terminal 230, and the third opening 2132 can be used to avoid the second plug terminal 240. By setting the second opening 2131 for avoiding the first plug terminal 230 and the third opening 2132 for avoiding the second plug terminal 240, the accommodating space 211 does not need to be larger than the space required for the mounting seat 220, the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 to rotate, thereby making the housing 210 relatively small. It can be seen that the implementation of this embodiment can effectively reduce the size of the housing 210, thereby improving consumer acceptance and reducing product packaging and transportation costs.

[0042] refer to Figure 2-Figure 9In a specific embodiment, the housing 210 also includes a movable shell 214, the movable shell 214 includes a first side wall 2141, a second side wall 2142 and a connecting portion 2143, the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the rotation center line, the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 are movably connected to a side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, the connecting portion 2143 connects the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142, and the connecting portion 2143 is adjacent to the first opening 212, and the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 jointly define the first opening 212.

[0043] Specifically, when the mounting seat 220 switches between the first position and the second position, the second opening 2131 needs to be used to avoid the first plug-in terminal 230, and the third opening 2132 needs to be used to avoid the second plug-in terminal 240. Therefore, the second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 both need to be directly connected to the first opening 212, which also leads to the poor structural strength of the fixed shell 213 adjacent to the first opening 212, and the movable shell 214 is easily deformed and broken under the influence of external force. In order to solve this technical problem, the housing 210 of this embodiment also includes a movable shell 214, which includes a first side wall 2141, a second side wall 2142 and a connecting portion 2143. The first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the rotation center line. The first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 can be movably connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, and the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 jointly define the first opening 212. With such a configuration, after adjusting the position of the mounting seat 220, the movable shell 214 can be operated to connect the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 with the fixed shell 213. Since the movable shell 214 includes a connecting portion 2143, and the connecting portion 2143 is adjacent to the first opening 212, when the movable shell 214 is connected to the fixed shell 213, the connecting portion 2143 can be used to stabilize the movable shell 214, thereby reducing the deformation and breakage of the movable shell 214 under the influence of external forces. Therefore, the reason why the movable shell 214 needs to be movably connected to the fixed shell 213 is that the connecting portion 2143 will be located on the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240, so the movable shell 214 must be moved first to move the connecting portion 2143 away from the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240, so that the mounting seat 220 can be rotated and adjusted, and then the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 can be switched.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that there are many specific implementations of the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 being movably connected, which are not limited in this embodiment. Several embodiments are listed below for reference.

[0045] In the first embodiment, the movable shell 214 is detachably connected to the fixed shell 213. In this way, when the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 need to be switched, the movable shell 214 can be removed to move the connecting portion 2143 away from the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240. When the switching of the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 is completed, the movable shell 214 can be installed back on the fixed shell 213.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that there are many ways of detachable connection, such as snap connection, magnetic connection, etc., which are not limited in this embodiment, as long as the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 can be detachably connected.

[0047] In the second embodiment, the movable shell 214 is slidably connected to the fixed shell 213. Specifically, when there is a need to switch the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240, the movable shell 214 can be slid to move the connecting portion 2143 away from the rotation path of the second plug terminal 240. When the switching of the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 is completed, the movable shell 214 can be slid back to its original position. The advantage of this embodiment is that when the connecting portion 2143 is moved away from the rotation path of the second plug terminal 240, the movable shell 214 is still connected to the fixed shell 213, so that the movable shell 214 is not easily lost.

[0048] refer to Figure 7 In the third embodiment, the side of the movable shell 214 away from the first opening 212 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the first opening 212. Specifically, when there is a need to switch the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240, the movable shell 214 can be rotated to move the connecting portion 2143 away from the rotation path of the second plug terminal 240. When the switching of the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 is completed, the movable shell 214 can be rotated back to its original position. The advantage of this embodiment is that when the connecting portion 2143 is moved away from the rotation path of the second plug terminal 240, the movable shell 214 is still connected to the fixed shell 213, so that the movable shell 214 is not easy to be lost.

[0049] More specifically, the movable shell 214 is rotatably connected to the fixed shell 213 via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft may be a part independent of the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213, or may be integrally formed with the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0050] refer to Figure 4In a specific embodiment, a fourth opening 2144 is provided on a side of the movable shell 214 facing away from the second opening 2131, and the mounting seat 220 includes a third side wall 221 disposed adjacent to the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240. The end of the transmission line body 100 is fixed to the fixed shell 213, one end of the flexible line body 250 is fixed to the fixed shell 213 and electrically connected to the transmission line body 100, and the other end is passed through the third side wall 221, and the angle between the other end of the flexible line body 250 and the third side wall 221 is greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 90°. The second opening 2131 and the fourth opening 2144 are both used to avoid the flexible line body 250.

[0051] Specifically, if the angle between the other end of the flexible wire body 250 and the third side wall 221 is too small, the wire core inside the flexible wire body 250 will easily break under stress. In order to solve this technical problem, in this embodiment, the angle between the other end of the flexible wire body 250 and the third side wall 221 is greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 90°. Because the angle between the other end of the flexible wire body 250 and the third side wall 221 is greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 90°, the length occupied by the flexible wire body 250 in the first direction is relatively large. On this basis, in order to make the shell 210 smaller, the acceptance of consumers is improved. The movable shell 214 of this embodiment is provided with a fourth opening 2144 on the side facing away from the second opening 2131. The fourth opening 2144 and the second opening 2131 can both be used to avoid the flexible wire body 250. This design enables the shell 210 to be smaller and the acceptance of consumers is relatively high.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the fixed shell 213 includes a first fixed seat 2133 and a second fixed seat 2134. The first fixed seat 2133 is fixed to the end of the transmission line body 100, one end of the flexible line body 250 is fixed to the first fixed seat 2133, and the second fixed seat 2134 is installed on the first fixed seat 2133. The second fixed seat 2134 at least forms a part of the first opening 212 and the accommodating space 211, and the second fixed seat 2134 has a second opening 2131 and a third opening 2132.

[0053] This embodiment shows a fixing shell 213 that is easy to produce. The fixing shell 213 includes a first fixing seat 2133 and a second fixing seat 2134. The first fixing seat 2133 is fixed to the end of the transmission line body 100, one end of the flexible line body 250 is fixed to the first fixing seat 2133, the second fixing seat 2134 is at least formed with a part of the first opening 212 and the accommodating space 211, and the second fixing seat 2134 has the above-mentioned second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132. In actual production, a transmission line body 100 with a first fixing seat 2133 fixed to the end is first produced, and then the second fixing seat 2134 is installed on the first fixing seat 2133. Compared with the embodiment in which the first fixing seat 2133 and the second fixing seat 2134 are integrally formed, the production difficulty can be reduced.

[0054] refer to Fig.10 In a specific embodiment, a slot 21331 is provided on the first fixing seat 2133, and a notch 21341 adapted to the slot 21331 is provided on the second fixing seat 2134. The slot 21331 cooperates with the notch 21341 so that the second fixing seat 2134 can be installed on the first fixing seat 2133. In order to increase the connection stability between the first fixing seat 2133 and the second fixing seat 2134, glue can also be set at the slot 21331.

[0055] refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, a positioning protrusion 2145 is provided on the inner side surface of the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142, and a positioning groove 2135 is provided on the outer side surface of the fixed shell 213. The positioning protrusion 2145 and the positioning groove 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214.

[0056] By implementing this embodiment, when the movable shell 214 is connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, the positioning protrusion 2145 will be inserted into the positioning groove 2135, so that the positioning protrusion 2145 and the positioning groove 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214, thereby preventing the movable shell 214 from being easily disconnected from the fixed shell 213 due to external forces. When the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 need to be switched, the movable shell 214 can be separated from the fixed shell 213 by applying a force sufficient to disengage the positioning protrusion 2145 from the positioning groove 2135.

[0057] In other embodiments, positioning grooves 2135 are provided on the inner sides of the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 , and positioning protrusions 2145 are provided on the outer side of the fixed shell 213 . The positioning protrusions 2145 and the positioning grooves 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214 .

[0058] By implementing this embodiment, when the movable shell 214 is connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, the positioning protrusion 2145 will be inserted into the positioning groove 2135, so that the positioning protrusion 2145 and the positioning groove 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214, thereby preventing the movable shell 214 from being easily disconnected from the fixed shell 213 due to external forces. When the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 need to be switched, the movable shell 214 can be separated from the fixed shell 213 by applying a force sufficient to disengage the positioning protrusion 2145 from the positioning groove 2135.

[0059] refer to Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, two accommodating grooves 2136 are provided on the outer side surface of the movable shell 214 , and the two accommodating grooves 2136 are used to accommodate the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 respectively.

[0060] Specifically, when the receiving groove 2136 is not provided, the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 protrude from the outer side surface of the fixed shell 213, which is not only not conducive to the miniaturization of the outer shell 210, but also forms a step at the adjacent position of the first side wall 2141, the second side wall 2142 and the fixed shell 213, and this step will cause the outer shell 210 to have poor aesthetics. After the receiving groove 2136 is provided, the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 can be accommodated in the receiving groove 2136, so that not only the size of the outer shell 210 is smaller, but also the adjacent position of the first side wall 2141, the second side wall 2142 and the fixed shell 213 is smoother, and the outer shell 210 has a higher aesthetics.

[0061] refer to Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the positioning groove 2135 is arranged on the outer side of the fixed shell 213, and the fixed shell 213 is also provided with a through groove 2137 connecting the positioning groove 2135 and the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131. The positioning protrusion 2145 can enter and exit the positioning groove 2135 through the through groove 2137. In the direction where the through groove 2137 approaches the second opening 2131, the depth of the through groove 2137 tends to decrease.

[0062] Specifically, since the through slot 2137 connects the positioning slot 2135 and the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, and the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 are movably connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, the positioning protrusion 2145 can enter and exit the positioning slot 2135 through the through slot 2137. In addition, since the depth of the through slot 2137 tends to decrease in the direction in which the through slot 2137 approaches the second opening 2131, the through slot 2137 can guide the positioning protrusion 2145, so that the positioning protrusion 2145 can enter the positioning slot 2135 through the through slot 2137.

[0063] refer to Fig. 9 In some embodiments, a side of the positioning protrusion 2145 facing the bottom of the positioning groove 2135 is an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped surface can play a guiding role to facilitate the positioning protrusion 2145 to enter the positioning groove 2135.

[0064] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 In some embodiments, a magnetic attraction member 270 is provided on the connecting portion 2143, and the mounting base 220 includes a third side wall 221 and a fourth side wall 222 which are arranged adjacent to the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240. The third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 are arranged opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the rotation center line. The third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 both have a magnetic attraction structure 260, and the magnetic attraction member 270 is attracted to the magnetic attraction structure 260.

[0065] By implementing this embodiment, the magnetic attraction member 270 can be used in conjunction with the magnetic attraction structure 260 on the third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 to increase the connection stability between the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213, and further prevent the movable shell 214 from being easily separated from the fixed shell 213 due to external forces, providing an excellent user experience.

[0066] It is worth mentioning that, referring to FIG. 11 , the magnetic attraction structure 260 on the third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 can be integrally formed, which can reduce the number of parts and assembly steps, thereby reducing the production cost of the data cable 1000; illustratively, the magnetic attraction structure 260 on the third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 are connected by a connecting arm 261, and the connecting arm 261 is provided with a gap 2611 for the first plug terminal 230 to pass through.

[0067] Optionally, the magnetic attraction structures 260 on the third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 can also be separately provided, which is not limited in this embodiment. It is worth mentioning that the definition of the magnetic attraction structure 260 is a component that can be attracted to the magnetic attraction component 270, so the magnetic attraction structures 260 on the third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 can be the same or different, as long as they can be attracted to the magnetic attraction component 270. For example, the magnetic attraction component 270 is a magnet, the magnetic attraction structure 260 on the third side wall 221 is an iron block that can be attracted by the above-mentioned magnet, and the magnetic attraction structure 260 on the fourth side wall 222 is an iron block that can be attracted by the above-mentioned magnet, or another magnet that can be attracted by the above-mentioned magnet.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, a mounting groove is provided on the connecting portion 2143 , and the mounting groove is used for limiting the installation of the magnetic attraction component 270 .

[0069] Specifically, when the installation groove is not provided, the magnetic member 270 can only be assembled according to a virtual preset position, which can easily cause the magnetic member 270 to be installed crookedly. In this way, not only the consistency of the product is poor, but also the adsorption effect of the magnetic member 270 and the magnetic structure 260 may be affected. In order to solve this technical problem, the present embodiment provides an installation groove on the connecting portion 2143, which can provide a clear assembly position for the magnetic member 270 to avoid the magnetic member 270 from being installed crookedly. Therefore, the implementation of this embodiment can not only improve the consistency of the product, but also ensure the magnetic attraction effect of the magnetic member 270 and the magnetic structure 260.

[0070] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can be modified, or some of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents; and all these modifications and replacements should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
