DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] With the widespread application of electronic devices, the output of electronic devices is often in short supply. Electronic devices can include desktops, laptops, mobile phones, tablets and other communication devices with terminal transmission functions. Daily use of communication devices such as the above generally involves the fixation of charging cables and adapters. Most charging cables are long and difficult to bundle, making them inconvenient to carry for long-term mobile office use.

[0024] In order to alleviate the above problems, the disclosed embodiment provides a wire storage device that can efficiently store the charger wire harness, achieve hidden storage that is simple, beautiful, and easy to carry. It can be applied to thin and light laptops, and can also be applied to the above-mentioned various types of powered devices.

[0025] Taking a 65W charger as an example, the disclosed solution can store charging cables with a maximum length of 130mm and a diameter of 4mm. Compared with the original charger, the overall storage of the charging body after storage is more concise, convenient to take and carry, and because the charging plug is set on the side of the charging body, it takes up less space on the power strip.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wire storage device 001001, including a charging body 1, and a receiving groove 11 is formed on the top surface of the charging body 1 in its height direction; it should be noted that the receiving groove 11 occupies at least part of the space of the charging body 1, and a preset distance is left between the bottom surface of the receiving groove 11 and the bottom surface of the charging body 1, and the depth dimension of the receiving groove 11 is based on the height required to accommodate the wire harness.

[0027] Specifically, the wire storage device 001001 of the disclosed embodiment further includes a storage rack 2, which can be stored in the storage groove 11, and the storage rack 2 has a limiting groove 211 for fixing the wire 3, so that the wire 3 can be wound and fixed to the storage rack 2 along the limiting groove 211 arranged circumferentially. In the storage state, the storage rack 2 can be stored in the storage groove 11, and the storage rack 2 is configured to extend out of the storage groove 11, so that the wire 3 can be stored or extended out of the storage groove 11 following the storage rack 2.

[0028] The wire storage device 001001 of the disclosed embodiment has a simple and beautiful structure, an improved hidden storage product experience, and a more user-friendly wire management storage; it is easy to carry, the wire 3 storage is simple and efficient, and the user experience is good; the product has strong applicability, can achieve universality with mobile phones and notebooks, and has a wide range of applications.

[0029] Considering that the storage rack 2 will not fall out of the accommodating groove 11, illustratively, the wire storage device 001001 also includes a protective cover 9, and the wire 3 extends from the bottom surface of the storage rack 2 and extends into the bottom surface of the accommodating groove 11, and is electrically connected to the rotating power plug 10 on the side of the charging body 1 to realize the basic charging function of the charger. Exemplarily, the bottom of the storage rack 2 at least partially has a blocking portion, and the blocking portion can form an abutment relationship with the inner wall of the accommodating groove 11 during the upward movement to prevent the storage rack 2 from falling out of the accommodating groove 11. The blocking portion can adopt a wedge block protrusion structure. Based on this, the inner wall of the accommodating groove 11 has a slide groove for the blocking portion to move along a preset path. The top of the slide groove is a closed structure, which is used to provide a blocking force for the blocking portion to prevent it from falling out of the accommodating groove 11.

[0030] In addition, the storage rack 2 is elastically connected to the accommodating groove 11 along its own height direction; the elastic connection here can provide assistance for the storage rack 2 to extend out of the accommodating groove 11. Exemplarily, the bottom surface of the limiting groove 211 has a positioning column 7, and the positioning column 7 is sleeved with a second elastic member 8, and the second elastic member 8 is used to provide a damping force for the storage rack 2 to move away from the limiting groove 211. In this way, the damping force serves as an assist for the storage rack 2 to extend out of the accommodating groove 11, and can make the storage rack 2 extend quickly. Exemplarily, the second elastic member 8 can be any of a telescopic spring or an elastic arm structure.

[0031] In addition, the storage rack 2 can move in a direction away from the accommodating groove 11 after the pressing action, so that during this process, the storage rack 2 can be engaged with or disengaged from the charging body 1.

[0032] Specifically, the storage rack 2 is engaged with the charging body 1 through the rebound buckle 4. Considering the installation scenario of the rebound buckle 4, the rebound buckle 4 is arranged on the side of the storage rack 2 and is positioned and engaged with the accommodating groove 11. It should be noted here that the rebound buckle 4 is positioned and engaged with the side wall of the accommodating groove 11.

[0033] In order to clearly describe the positional relationship between the storage rack 2, the rebound buckle 4 and the accommodating groove 11, the specific structures of the storage rack 2 and the rebound buckle 4 are described as follows.

[0034] The storage rack 2 has a top convex edge 22, which is configured as a plane extending from the circumference of the top surface of the storage rack 2 to the outer circumference. Along the height direction of the storage rack 2, the top convex edge 22 can cover the wire 3, so that when the storage rack 2 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 11, the top convex edge 22 can well block the exposed viewing angle of the wire 3.

[0035] Considering the specific way in which the storage rack 2 accommodates the wire 3, the storage rack 2 has a raised mounting portion 21 on at least two opposite sides. The disclosed embodiment does not limit the structure of the raised mounting portion 21, as long as the wire 3 can be fixed around its own inner contour surface. Exemplarily, the raised mounting portions 21 on each side are arranged in multiple rows and a single column, and a limiting groove 211 is formed on the outer side surface of each raised mounting portion 21. The disclosed embodiment does not limit the specific structural form of the limiting groove 211. Exemplarily, the opening of the limiting groove 211 has an interference fit with the wire 3, and the inner contour surface of the limiting groove 211 has a clearance fit or a transition fit with the wire 3, so that the wire 3 can be firmly limited in the storage rack 2.

[0036] Considering that the charging cable can be completely bundled in the storage rack 2, in the cable storage device 001001 of the disclosed embodiment, the top surface of the storage rack 2 has a groove sub-portion 23, and the groove sub-portion 23 at least partially serves as a storage space for the charging connector 31 of the charging cable. Figure 1The groove sub-portion 23 has a top opening 231 and at least a part of the side opening 232. The groove sub-portion 23 has a snap-fit ​​sub-portion 24 inside. The position of the wire 3 near the charging connector 31 extends from the side opening 232 and snaps into the snap-fit ​​sub-portion 24 after a single bend. The top opening 231 serves as an operating space for the position near the charging connector 31, which can facilitate the charging connector 31 to be stored in the groove sub-portion 23. In this way, the wiring harness and the charging connector 31 of the charging cable can be orderly constrained in the storage rack 2.

[0037] Based on the above structure of the storage rack 2, combined with the following scheme of the rebound buckle 4, the rebound buckle 4 includes a limiting sub-portion 41 and a positioning sub-portion 42 connected to the limiting sub-portion 41, and the limiting sub-portion 41 abuts against the first position 233 of the groove sub-portion 23 along the length direction of the storage rack 2. In this way, it can be ensured that the rebound buckle 4 can be stably installed in the groove sub-portion 23.

[0038] Exemplarily, a long protrusion 422 extends from the first surface 421 of the positioning sub-portion 42, and the long protrusion 422 is used to engage with the hole on the side of the accommodating groove 11. A short protrusion 424 extends from the second surface 423 of the positioning sub-portion 42, and the short protrusion 424 elastically abuts against the first position 233 of the groove sub-portion 23 through the first elastic member 5.

[0039] Further considering the stable installation position and stable engagement effect of the rebound buckle 4 between the groove sub-portion 23 and the accommodating groove 11, the groove sub-portion 23 has a vertical plate 6 at the first position 233, and the first elastic member 5 and the limiting sub-portion 41 are respectively in contact with two opposite side surfaces of the vertical plate 6. In this way, under the action of the first elastic member 5, the rebound buckle 4 can be stably limited in the groove sub-portion 23.

[0040] In addition, the distal end of the long protrusion 422 of the rebound buckle 4 is configured as an arc-shaped structure, so that under the pressing action, the long protrusion 422 can slide upward or downward along the side wall of the accommodating groove 11, and at the same time, under the action of the first elastic member 5, the long protrusion 422 can be engaged with the hole opened in the side wall of the accommodating groove 11. The embodiment of the present disclosure does not limit the direction of the pressing force, and the storage rack 2 can be accommodated and extended relative to the accommodating groove 11 in combination with the structure of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] It should be added that the wire storage device 001001 of the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a rotating power plug 10, which can be rotated on the side of the charging body 1 and can be hidden and stored in the charging body 1 during the rotation process. Exemplarily, a groove space for accommodating the rotating power plug 10 is provided in the charging body 1.

[0042] In summary, the rotating power plug 10 in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be rotated and stored, and the charging line and the charging connector 31 can be stored inside the charging body 1, and the overall device is simple and beautiful. The charging device is divided into a storage state and an extended state. The charger has a built-in storage device. The rebound buckle 4 is turned to extend the storage box. The length of the extended wire 3 is adjusted by changing the number of wire 3 storage circles. After the adjustment is completed, the storage rack 2 is pressed again, and the storage rack 2 is retracted into the charging body 1. The wire length adjustment range can be 0 to 130 mm; when the charging device is not in use, the wire 3 is completely stored, the charging connector 31 is fixed to the top of the storage rack 2, the storage rack 2 is retracted into the charging body 1, and the power plug is rotated to store. At this time, the overall charging device achieves the ultimate hidden storage, which is simple and beautiful. In addition, there are limiting grooves 211 around the storage rack 2, and the charging line is fixedly wound around the limiting grooves 211. When charging is needed, the number of winding coils is adjusted according to the specific usage scenario, thereby changing the extended length of the charging head. The maximum adjustable length is 130 mm, which is sufficient to meet most usage scenarios. The storage rack 2 of the charging body 1 can be stored in a very simple manner. When charging is not needed, the wire 3 is wound and stored through the limiting groove 211, and the charging connector 31 is fixed inside the storage rack 2. The storage rack 2 is fixed in the accommodating groove 11 by the rebound buckle 4. The overall appearance of the charging device after complete storage is extremely simple, and can be constructed as follows Figure 2 The rectangular parallelepiped structure shown can also be constructed into other regular or irregular shapes according to actual needs to facilitate holding and carrying.

[0043] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present disclosure, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0044] The above is only a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, but the protection scope of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present disclosure, which should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of the present disclosure should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
