Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data cable storage, and in particular to a data cable storage device and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The data cable is usually long and inconvenient to carry. In order to solve this defect, the data cable can usually be designed into a reel-type storage data cable.

[0003] The data cable storage device includes a data cable, a rotating shaft, a turntable, a swing arm structure, a plastic terminal block (the terminal block is injection molded on a plastic part), etc. The user needs to retract and release the data cable and realize the anti-retraction function. When the data cable is pulled, the data cable drives the turntable to rotate, and the swing arm structure slides along the turntable to realize the anti-retraction function of the data cable. In order to realize the anti-retraction function of the data cable, the plastic part of the terminal block is usually used as a locking structure. However, if the plastic part of the terminal block is used as a locking structure, the plastic part of the terminal block needs to extend out of the edge of the terminal block, so that the terminal block cannot be connected to the material strip during the injection molding process (because connecting the material strip will cause two notches to be added to the edge of the plastic part of the terminal block. During the wire pulling process, the notch will affect the swing arm structure). Therefore, the terminal row can only be placed into the mold manually to complete the injection molding process, and the work efficiency is low.

[0058] Please also see Figures 1 to 11 , the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of a data line storage device.

[0059] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a data line storage device, which includes: an upper cover 1, a lower cover 2, a turntable 3, a terminal row plastic part 4, an upper terminal row 5, a lower terminal row 6, a locking component 7, a rotating shaft 8, a spring 9 and a data line 10; the data line 10 is arranged on the turntable 3 and is electrically connected to the upper terminal row 5; the upper terminal row 5 is arranged on the terminal row plastic part 4; the terminal row plastic part 4 is arranged on the turntable 3; the rotating shaft 8 is arranged on the upper cover 1, the turntable 3 is arranged between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2, and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 8; the lower terminal row 6 is arranged on the lower cover 2 and is electrically connected to the upper terminal row 5; one end of the spring 9 is arranged on the turntable 3, and the other end of the spring 9 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 8; a locking structure 31 is arranged on the turntable 3, and the locking component 7 is arranged on the lower cover 2, and the locking component 7 is used to cooperate with the locking structure 31 to lock the turntable 3.

[0060] Specifically, the upper terminal row 5 is arranged on the terminal row plastic part 4, wherein the terminal row plastic part 4 is injection molded on the upper terminal row 5, and can realize the function of circuit board + connector, and the lower terminal row 6 is arranged in the lower cover 2, wherein the lower cover 2 is injection molded on the lower terminal row 6, and can also realize the function of circuit board + connector. The upper terminal row 5 is electrically connected to the terminals corresponding to the lower terminal row 6, and one end of the data line 10 is electrically connected to the upper terminal row 5, so that the connection between the data line 10 and the lower terminal row 6 can be realized. The data line 10 can be a TYPE-C data line, and the other end of the TYPE-C data line is a male plug. The lower terminal row 6 can be connected to a charger, a computer, a tablet, etc. Taking a charger as an example, when the data line storage device is used for a charging device, the lower terminal row 6 is connected to the charger to realize the charging function.

[0061] The upper cover 1 is snap-connected with the lower cover 2. The terminal row plastic part 4 is installed on the turntable 3, and the turntable 3 is connected to the shaft 8. The two ends of the mainspring 9 are respectively connected to the turntable 3 and the shaft 8, and the data cable 10 is connected to the turntable 3. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the turntable 3 rotates, and the terminal row plastic part 4 rotates with the turntable 3. The mainspring 9 accumulates force to return the turntable 3 to the initial position, and the locking assembly 7 can cooperate with the locking structure 31 on the turntable 3 to lock the turntable 3, so that the data cable 10 can be maintained in a state of being pulled out to a certain length for user use.

[0062] It should be understood that when the upper terminal block 5 is subjected to the moding process, that is, the upper terminal block 5 and the terminal block plastic part 4 are injection molded, and the lower terminal block 6 and the lower cover 2 are injection molded, both are achieved by an injection molding machine. Figure 6 and Figure 7 First, the upper terminal row 5 and the lower terminal row 6 need to be obtained through a stamping process. The terminal rows obtained after stamping are generally connected by a material strip 20, which is convenient for subsequent automatic production on an injection molding machine. For example, the lower terminal row 6 can be automatically fed to the injection molding machine through the material strip 20 to achieve automatic production. However, for the lower terminal row 6, because the plastic part of the lower terminal row 6 needs to cooperate with the locking component 7 to complete the locking function of the turntable 3, the outer diameter of the plastic part will be larger than the outer diameter of the lower terminal row 6, that is, part of the material of the plastic part will extend out of the edge of the lower terminal row 6. In this way, if the lower terminal row 6 is connected by a material strip 20 for injection molding, two gaps will be added to the plastic part (the gaps left after the material strip 20 is removed), which will eventually affect the locking component 7 when pulling the data cable 10, such as the wire pulling is not smooth enough.

[0063] In the present invention, the locking function is achieved by transferring the structure that cooperates with the locking assembly 7 to the turntable 3, that is, converting the original plastic part of the lower terminal row 6 to the latching structure 31 on the turntable 3. In this way, the plastic part of the lower terminal row 6 does not need to extend out of the edge of the lower terminal row 6, so that the lower terminal row 6 can be connected through the material belt 20 to achieve automatic feeding, which greatly improves production efficiency and reduces production costs.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 There are a plurality of the latching structures 31 , which are spaced apart on the turntable 3 along the edge of the upper terminal row 5 , and a receiving groove 32 is formed between two adjacent latching structures 31 .

[0065] Specifically, the locking structures 31 surround the lower terminal row 6 and are arranged at intervals along the edge of the lower terminal row 6. There is a receiving groove 32 between two adjacent locking structures 31. In the initial state, the part of the locking assembly 7 that abuts against the locking structure 31 is located in the receiving groove 32, and the locking assembly 7 does not contact the locking structure 31. The number of the locking structures 31 can be set to 5, 7, 8, etc. The number of the locking structures 31 is the number of the stop gears. In one implementation, the number of the locking structures 31 can be set to 7.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking assembly 7 includes: a retaining spring 71, an upper swing arm 72 and a lower swing arm 73; the retaining spring 71 is clamped with the lower cover 2; the upper swing arm 72 is rotatably connected to the lower cover 2 and abuts against the retaining spring 71; the lower swing arm 73 is rotatably connected to the lower cover 2 and is located between the upper swing arm 72 and the lower cover 2; when the data cable 10 is pulled, the data cable 10 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, the turntable 3 drives the upper swing arm 72 to swing, and the upper swing arm 72 drives the lower swing arm 73 to rotate; when the turntable 3 is locked, the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the lower swing arm 73 and the locking structure 31 respectively.

[0067] In this embodiment, please combine Figure 8, the lower cover 2 is provided with two card slots, and the two ends of the clamping spring 71 are clamped in the card slots of the lower cover 2. The upper swing arm 72 is installed on the first mounting column 21 of the lower cover 2, and the lower swing arm 73 is installed on the second mounting column 22 of the lower cover 2. The upper swing arm 72 and the lower swing arm 73 are both rotatably connected with the lower cover 2. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the data cable 10 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, the turntable 3 drives the upper swing arm 72 to swing, and the upper swing arm 72 drives the lower swing arm 73 to rotate. When the turntable 3 needs to be locked, the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the lower swing arm 73 and the clamping structure 31 respectively, so that the turntable 3 stops rotating.

[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 8 The upper swing arm 72 includes a first clamping block 721, a second clamping block 722 and a contact portion 723, wherein the first clamping block 721 and the second clamping block 722 are arranged on both sides of the lower swing arm 73; the contact portion 723 is located at the bottom of the upper swing arm 72; the lower swing arm 73 includes a third clamping block 731, and the third clamping block 731 is arranged at intervals along the edge of the lower swing arm 73 on a side of the lower swing arm 73 close to the upper swing arm 72; in an initial state, the contact portion 723 is located in the accommodating groove 32; when the data cable 10 is pulled, the second clamping block 722 abuts against the third clamping block 731 to drive the lower swing arm 73 to rotate; when the turntable 3 is locked, the contact portion 723 abuts against the locking structure 31, and the first clamping block 721 is engaged with the third clamping block 731.

[0069] In this embodiment, the size of the abutment portion 723 of the upper swing arm 72 is adapted to the size of the accommodating groove 32. In the initial state, the abutment portion 723 is located in the accommodating groove 32. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the turntable 3 rotates, the abutment portion 723 disengages from the accommodating groove 32 and slides on the clamping structure 31, the upper swing arm 72 swings, and the second clamping block 722 of the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the third clamping block 731 of the lower swing arm 73, so that the lower swing arm 73 swings with the upper swing arm 72. When the data cable 10 stops being pulled, the abutment portion 723 abuts against the clamping structure 31, and the first clamping block 721 abuts against the third clamping block 731, so that the turntable 3 stops rotating, thereby realizing the stop function, and the data cable 10 stops moving.

[0070] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 The third clamping block 731 is provided with a contact groove 732 , and when the turntable 3 is locked, the first clamping block 721 abuts against the contact groove 732 .

[0071] In this embodiment, when the turntable 3 is in a locked state, the abutment portion 723 of the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the locking structure 31, and the first locking block 721 of the upper swing arm 72 is engaged with the abutment groove 732 on the third locking block 731 of the lower swing arm 73, so as to lock the turntable 3 and prevent the data cable 10 from retreating.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Fig.10 and Fig.11 A fence structure 41 is provided on the back of the terminal row plastic part 4, and the terminals of the upper terminal row 5 are located between the fence structures 41; and a avoidance hole 33 for the data line 10 to pass through is provided at a position corresponding to the fence structure 41 of the turntable 3.

[0073] In this embodiment, when installing the upper terminal row 5, the data line 10 is first welded to the upper terminal row 5. In order to prevent the terminals of the upper terminal row 5 from short-circuiting during soldering, the fence structure 41 is provided on the back of the terminal row plastic part 4, and the solder joints are isolated by the fence structure 41 during soldering, so that the problem of solder connecting two adjacent terminals together to cause a short circuit can be avoided during soldering. After the data line 10 is welded to the upper terminal row 5, the terminal row plastic part 4 provided with the upper terminal row 5 is installed on the turntable 3, and the data line 10 can pass through the avoidance hole 33 on the turntable 3 and then be wound on the turntable 3.

[0074] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 8 is a metal rotating shaft 8 , and the upper cover 1 is formed on the rotating shaft 8 by injection molding.

[0075] In this embodiment, the shaft 8 is made of metal material, which can increase the strength of the shaft 8, thereby extending the service life of the data cable storage device. The shaft 8 can be formed on the upper cover 1 by injection molding, and can also be installed on the upper cover 1 by assembly, for example, by threaded connection. In this embodiment, the upper cover 1 is injection molded on the shaft 8, and the upper cover 1 and the shaft 8 are integrally arranged.

[0076] In some embodiments, see Fig.11 and join Figure 3The turntable 3 includes: a first mounting portion 34, a second mounting portion 35, a third mounting portion 36 and a fourth mounting portion 37; the mainspring 9 is accommodated in the first mounting portion 34, and one end of the mainspring 9 is connected to the third mounting portion 36; the first mounting portion 34 is provided with a first notch, the second mounting portion 35 is provided with a second notch, and the first notch and the second notch form a fixing groove 38; the end of the data cable 10 connected to the turntable 3 is provided with a buckle portion 101, and the buckle portion 101 is buckled with the fixing groove 38; the fourth mounting portion 37 is located on one side of the third mounting portion 36, and is spaced apart from the second mounting portion 35.

[0077] In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 34 is an arc-shaped structure and is arranged around the rotating shaft 8. The spring 9 is located in the space surrounded by the first mounting portion 34, and one end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the third mounting portion 36. The positions where the first mounting portion 34 and the second mounting portion 35 contact the data line 10 are respectively provided with notches, and the two notches constitute a fixing groove 38. The data line 10 is provided with a buckle portion 101 that is adapted to the size of the fixing groove 38. The data line 10 is clamped between the first mounting portion 34 and the second mounting portion 35 through the buckle portion 101 to achieve a fixed connection between the data line 10 and the rotating disk 3. In this way, no glue bonding is required, and the problem of the data line loosening caused by the failure of the glue viscosity can be prevented. Among them, in order to provide a welding wire space for the data line 10, the position between the fourth mounting portion 37 and the second mounting portion 35 is hollowed out to form the avoidance hole 33. The fourth mounting portion 37 abuts against the data line 10 to support the data line 10.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Fig.12 The present invention also provides a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned data line storage device, which comprises the steps of:

[0079] S100, using a stamping method to obtain an upper terminal row connected by a material strip and a lower terminal row connected by a material strip;

[0080] S200, using a sample injection molding process to mold a terminal block plastic part on the upper terminal block, and using an injection molding process to mold the lower cover on the lower terminal block;

[0081] S300, welding the data line to the upper terminal block;

[0082] S400, installing the terminal block plastic part on the turntable, and passing the data line through the turntable and winding it on the turntable;

[0083] S500, assembling the mainspring on the turntable and the rotating shaft, assembling the locking assembly on the upper cover, and assembling the upper cover and the lower cover together.

[0084] In this embodiment, the upper terminal row and the lower terminal row are both obtained by a stamping process, and the upper terminal row and the lower terminal row are connected together by a material strip, so that automatic feeding can be achieved when the injection molding machine performs the injection molding process. After completing the injection molding process of the upper terminal row and the lower terminal row, the terminal row plastic part and the upper terminal row form a whole, and the lower terminal row and the lower cover form a whole. Thereafter, the data cable and the lower terminal row are welded together, and then the terminal row plastic part is installed on the turntable, and then the spring and the locking assembly are installed in sequence, and finally the upper cover and the lower cover are buckled together to complete the assembly of the entire data cable storage device.

[0085] In this embodiment, no plastic material needs to be reserved around the lower terminal row, that is, the terminal row plastic part does not need to extend out of the lower terminal row, so the lower terminal row can be connected to the material strip. The lower terminal row realizes automatic feeding during the injection molding process, without the need for manual feeding, thereby reducing production costs.

[0086] In summary, the data cable storage device and the manufacturing method thereof provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0087] By arranging the clamping structure on the turntable, that is, transferring the clamping structure from the terminal block plastic part to the turntable, in the process of injection molding the terminal block plastic part on the upper terminal block, the upper terminal block can be connected together by the material strip to realize automatic production, which improves the production efficiency compared with the traditional manual operation method to complete the injection molding process of a single upper terminal block;

[0088] The fence structure is arranged on the back of the terminal block plastic part, and the soldering points are isolated by the fence structure during welding, so that the problem of short circuit caused by soldering connecting two adjacent terminals together can be avoided during soldering;

[0089] The shaft is made of metal material, and the upper cover is injection molded on the shaft, which can increase the strength of the shaft and thus extend the service life of the data cable storage device;

[0090] The data cable is clamped between the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion through its buckle portion, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the data cable and the turntable. This does not require glue bonding, can prevent the data cable from loosening due to glue viscosity failure, and can withstand greater pressure.
