[0030] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the following embodiments.

[0031] Depend on Figures 1 to 9As can be seen, the data cable with insertion / removal life indication function described in this embodiment includes a connector body 1; the connector body 1 is provided with a insertion cavity 11 and a display cavity 2; a display disk 3 is rotatably provided in the display cavity 2; multiple fan-shaped display areas 31 are provided at equal angles on the circumferential surface of the display disk 3; the connector body 1 is provided with a display window 12 communicating with the display cavity 2; a driving cylinder 4 is connected to the bottom of the center of the display disk 3; a driving groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the driving cylinder 4; a driving block 5 is slidably and vertically provided in the display cavity 2; a driving pin 51 is elastically connected to the driving block 5; the driving pin 51 is movably provided in the driving groove; an elastic slide plate 6 is movably provided in the display cavity 2; one end of the elastic slide plate 6 protrudes into the insertion cavity 11; a trigger component is provided between the other end of the elastic slide plate 6 and the display cavity 2; a linkage component is provided between the trigger component and the driving block 5. The data cable with plug-in / plug-out life indication function described in this embodiment includes a drive slot comprising multiple drive spiral slots 41 and drive vertical slots 42 connected sequentially and alternately. The depth of the top of the drive vertical slot 42 is greater than the depth of the top of the drive spiral slot 41. The depth of the bottom of the drive vertical slot 42 is less than the depth of the bottom of the drive spiral slot 41. A drive inclined surface 43 is provided in the middle of the drive vertical slot 42. The number of drive vertical slots 42 is the same as the number of fan-shaped display areas 31, and the drive vertical slots 42 and fan-shaped display areas 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data cable with plug-in / plug-out life indication function has a different color for each sector display area 31, so that the user can judge the plug-in / plug-out life of the data cable based on the color seen from the display window 12.

[0033] The specific principle is as follows: when the data cable is plugged in, the drive elastic slide plate 6 moves. The movement of the elastic slide plate 6 causes the trigger component to work. The trigger component, through the linkage component, drives the drive pin 51 of the drive block 5 to gradually descend along the drive vertical groove 42. Each plugging causes the drive block 5 to descend a certain height until the number of pluggings reaches a threshold. When the drive block 5 descends from the bottom of the drive vertical groove 42 to the bottom of the drive spiral groove 41, the drive block 5 resets upward. At the same time, the drive pin 51 of the drive block 5 moves along the drive spiral groove 41 until the drive block 5 resets. After the drive block 5 is reset, the drive pin 51 moves from the top of the drive spiral groove 41 to the top of the next drive vertical groove 42. The drive cylinder 4 and the display disk 3 complete the rotation of the predetermined angle, so that the next fan-shaped display area 31 is aligned with the display window 12, thereby reminding the user of the current plugging and unplugging life of the data cable.

[0034] This embodiment sets up multiple fan-shaped display areas 31, a trigger component, a linkage component, and a driver block 5. When the number of data cable plug-in connections reaches a set threshold, the trigger component, linkage component, and driver block 5 work together to align the next fan-shaped display area 31 with the display window 12, thereby reminding the user of the current plug-in lifespan of the data cable.

[0035] This embodiment describes a data cable with a plug-in / plug-out lifespan indicator. The display cavity 2 is provided with a lifting limit groove 21; the drive block 5 is slidably disposed within the lifting limit groove 21; a limiting spring 22 is provided between the bottom of the drive block 5 and the display cavity 2; a drive pin 51 is elastically disposed at one end of the drive block 5; and a drive spring 52 is provided between the drive pin 51 and the drive block 5. Specifically, by providing the lifting limit groove 21, the drive block 5 can be ensured to move in a lifting motion, thus limiting the lifting of the drive block 5.

[0036] The data cable with insertion / removal life indication function described in this embodiment includes a linkage component comprising a first rotating rod 7 and a second rotating rod 8 respectively rotatably disposed in the display cavity 2; the outer peripheral wall of the first rotating rod 7 is provided with a spiral protrusion 71; the other end of the driving block 5 is provided with a contact protrusion 53; the contact protrusion 53 abuts against the bottom surface of the spiral protrusion 71; the top of the first rotating rod 7 is provided with a driving tooth 72; the top of the second rotating rod 8 is provided with a driving tooth 81 that cooperates with the driving tooth 72.

[0037] Specifically, when the data cable is plugged in, the drive elastic slide plate 6 moves. The movement of the elastic slide plate 6 causes the trigger component to work. The trigger component drives the second rotating rod 8 to rotate. During the rotation of the second rotating rod 8, the first rotating rod 7 rotates by one tooth position through the cooperation of the drive tooth 72 and the drive tooth 81. Thus, under the cooperation of the contact protrusion 53 and the spiral protrusion 71, the drive pin 51 of the drive block 5 descends along the drive vertical groove 42. Before descending to the drive spiral groove 41, the display disk 3 will not rotate.

[0038] Each insertion causes the drive block 5 to descend a certain height. When the number of insertions reaches a threshold, the drive block 5 descends from the bottom of the drive vertical groove 42 to the bottom of the drive spiral groove 41. The drive block 5 then resets upwards, and the drive pin 51 of the drive block 5 moves along the drive spiral groove 41 until the drive block 5 resets. The drive pin 51 then moves from the top of the drive spiral groove 41 to the top of the next drive vertical groove 42. The drive cylinder 4 and the display disk 3 complete a predetermined angle of rotation, thereby aligning the next sector display area 31 with the display window 12, thus reminding the user of the current insertion and removal lifespan of the data cable.

[0039] This embodiment describes a data cable with a plug-in / plug-out life indication function. Both the bottom of the first rotating rod 7 and the bottom of the second rotating rod 8 are equipped with ratchet wheels 73; the display cavity 2 is equipped with a pawl that engages with the ratchet wheels 73. The ratchet wheels 73 are not shown in the figure. This arrangement ensures that the first rotating rod 7 and the second rotating rod 8 can rotate in one direction.

[0040] This embodiment of a data cable with a plug-in / plug-out life indication function includes a display cavity 2 rotatably equipped with a first friction wheel 82; a second rotating rod 8 is fitted with a second friction wheel 83; one end of the first friction wheel 82 abuts against the second friction wheel 83. The trigger assembly includes a trigger seat 62 at the other end of an elastic slide plate 6, a trigger plate 63 horizontally slidably mounted on the trigger seat 62, a friction strip 66 mounted on the trigger plate 63, and a trigger groove in the display cavity 2; the friction strip 66 abuts against the other end of the first friction wheel 82; a trigger pin 64 is elastically movably mounted at the bottom of the trigger plate 63; the trigger pin 64 is movably mounted in the trigger groove. A trigger spring 65 is provided between the trigger plate 63 and the trigger seat 62. This embodiment describes a data cable with a plug-in / plug-out lifespan indication function. The trigger slot includes a first trigger straight slot 91, a first trigger inclined slot 92, a second trigger straight slot 93, and a second trigger inclined slot 94 connected end-to-end. The first trigger straight slot 91, first trigger inclined slot 92, second trigger straight slot 93, and second trigger inclined slot 94 form a parallelogram structure. The depth of the first trigger straight slot 91 is less than the depth of the second trigger inclined slot 94. In this embodiment, a return spring 61 is provided between the elastic sliding plate 6 and the plug-in cavity 11.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the data cable with plug-in / plug-out life indication function, when the data cable is plugged in, the external connector pushes the elastic slide plate 6 to move. At this time, the trigger pin 64 moves along the first trigger straight groove 91, and the friction strip 66 abuts against the other end of the first friction wheel 82. Therefore, under the action of the friction strip 66, the first friction wheel 82 is driven to rotate. The first friction wheel 82 drives the second friction wheel 83 to rotate, thereby driving the second rotating rod 8 to rotate. During the rotation of the second rotating rod 8, through the cooperation of the drive tooth 72 and the drive tooth 81, the first rotating rod 7 is driven to rotate one tooth position. Thus, under the cooperation of the contact protrusion 53 and the spiral protrusion 71, the drive pin 51 of the drive block 5 is driven to descend along the drive vertical groove 42. Before descending to the drive spiral groove 41, the display disk 3 will not rotate.

[0042] When the trigger pin 64 moves to the first trigger groove 92, the friction strip 66 no longer abuts against the first friction wheel 82. When the external connector is removed, the trigger pin 64 returns to the position of the first trigger groove 91 along the second trigger straight groove 93 and the second trigger inclined groove 94. That is, the friction strip 66 will not contact the second friction wheel 83 during the reset process, preventing the second friction wheel 83 from rotating in the opposite direction.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
