Moreover, since the first storage space is provided with a data transmission interface 200, the carrier is connected to the data transmission interface 200 to form a data transmission channel. Therefore, a data transmission channel is formed between the data transmission interface 200 and the cable 300, and data transmission can be realized through the electronic device. Since the cable storage mechanism 400 of the electronic device switches the cable 300 between the first state and the second state, in the first state, the cable 300 is located in the second storage space, and the second end is exposed to the second storage space. In the second state, the second end is between the first end and the second end. A small part of the second storage space is exposed. Therefore, when data transmission is required through the electronic device, it is only necessary to switch the cable 300 from the first state to the second state through the cable storage mechanism 400, so that the second end of the cable 300 and at least a part between the first end and the second end are exposed in the second storage space, and the first data transmission device is connected to the second end of the cable 300, and the second data transmission device is connected to the data transmission interface 200, so that data transmission between the first data transmission device and the second data transmission device can be realized; when the data transmission task is completed and the cable 300 needs to be stored, it is only necessary to switch the cable 300 from the second state to the first state through the cable storage mechanism 400, so that the cable 300 is located in the second storage space, and the second end is exposed in the second storage space, so as to realize the storage function of the cable 300 and improve the convenience. Moreover, based on the exposure of the second storage space at the second end, it is convenient to switch the cable 300 from the first state to the second state, which further improves the convenience.

[0040] It should be understood that one of the above-mentioned first data transmission device and the second data transmission device can be an electronic device of the type of a computer host, a server or a tablet computer, and the other can be an electronic device of the type of an external display, a printer or an external keyboard. In actual applications, they can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. As long as the type of electronic device can meet the use requirements, it falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] In addition, the type and quantity of the above-mentioned data transmission interface 200 are not specifically limited, and can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs in practical applications, as long as they can meet the use requirements.

[0042] The cable storage mechanism 400 provided by the present invention can switch the cable 300 between the first state and the second state by folding or winding, that is, the cable 300 can be stored and unfolded by folding or winding. As long as the method can meet the use requirements, it belongs to the protection scope of the present invention; optionally, the cable storage mechanism 400 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can switch the cable 300 between the first state and the second state by winding.

[0043] Specifically, the cable storage mechanism 400 includes a rotatable storage member, which is rotatably disposed in the second accommodation space, so that the first end and the second end of the cable 300 are wound layer by layer through the rotation of the rotatable storage member, thereby realizing the storage function of the cable 300.

[0045] Optionally, in a specific embodiment of the utility model, the rotating storage member includes a rotating shaft, which is rotatably arranged in the second storage space, and a mounting portion is arranged on the cable 300 between the first end and the second end, and the mounting portion is connected to the rotating shaft to connect the cable 300 between the first end and the second end with the rotating shaft. By rotating the rotating shaft, the cable 300 is stored in the second storage space, thereby improving the convenience of the electronic device.

[0046] The above-mentioned mounting portion and the rotating shaft can be connected together by bonding, clamping or perforation connection, and any connection method that can meet the use requirements belongs to the protection scope of the present utility model; optionally, in a specific embodiment of the present utility model, a through hole is set on the rotating shaft, and the mounting portion passes through the through hole. During the rotation of the rotating shaft along the first direction, the through hole drives the mounting portion to rotate so that the part between the first end and the second end of the cable 300 is stored in the second accommodating space, so that the cable 300 is switched from the second state to the first state. During the rotation of the rotating shaft along the second direction, the cable 300 is switched from the first state to the second state, and the first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions.

[0047] In another specific embodiment of the utility model, a clamping structure is provided on the rotating shaft, and the mounting portion is connected to the rotating shaft via the clamping structure, so that the cable 300 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft through the clamping between the clamping structure and the mounting portion. When the rotating shaft rotates along the first direction, the cable 300 switches from the second state to the first state. When the rotating shaft rotates along the second direction, the cable 300 switches from the first state to the second state. The first direction and the second direction are two opposite directions.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the shell 100 includes a first shell 101 and a second shell 102, the first accommodating space is located in the first shell 101, and the second accommodating space is located in the second shell 102; the second shell 102 is rotatably arranged on the first shell 101, and the second shell 102 is detachably connected to the rotating storage piece. When the electronic device is used, the first shell 101 is placed on the placement surface, and the second shell 102 does not contact the placement surface.

Based on the detachable connection between the second shell 102 and the rotating storage piece, the rotating storage piece also rotates accordingly, and the cable 300 rotates with the rotating storage piece to achieve the function of storing the cable 300; and since the second shell 102 is detachably connected to the rotating storage piece, it is convenient for the user to disassemble and replace the cable 300, thereby improving convenience.

[0049] The above-mentioned second shell 102 and the rotating storage piece can be connected together by screw connection or snap connection. As long as the detachable connection can be achieved and the user can disassemble and replace the cable 300, the connection method is within the protection scope of the present utility model; optionally, the second shell 102 and the rotating storage piece provided in the embodiment of the present utility model are connected by screws.

[0050] In addition, a first locking component is provided on the above-mentioned first shell 101, and a second locking component is provided on the second shell 102; wherein, the first locking component and the second locking component have a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the second shell 102 is fixed relative to the first shell 101, and in the unlocked state, the second shell 102 can rotate relative to the first shell 101, so that during the use of the electronic device, the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are in a locked state through the first locking component and the second locking component to prevent the second shell 102 from rotating relative to the first shell 101 and affecting the use. After the use of the electronic device is over, the electronic device is put into an unlocked state to allow the second shell 102 to rotate relative to the first shell 101 and store the cable 300 in the second storage space.

[0051] It should be understood that the first locking accessory and the second locking accessory can be locked by means of snap connection or magnetic attraction, and any locking method that can meet the use requirements belongs to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0052] Furthermore, a wire trough is provided in the second accommodation space; wherein, in a first state, the cable 300 between the first end and the second end is located in the wire trough, so as to realize the wire management function while storing the cable 300; in a second state, at least part of the cable 300 near the second end is detached from the wire trough, so as to facilitate the connection of the second end of the cable 300 with an external electronic device.

[0053] The above-mentioned cable trough can be in the shape of a spiral circular trajectory or a spiral elliptical trajectory. As long as the shape can achieve the cable management function, it belongs to the protection scope of the utility model. In actual application, the shape of the cable trough can be adaptively adjusted according to factors such as the spatial shape of the second accommodating space and the length of the cable 300.

[0054] The electronic device provided by the utility model also includes an elastic reset element, one end of which is arranged on the rotating storage component, and the other end is fixedly connected to the cable 300, so that the elastic reset element is deformed when the cable 300 is switched from the first state to the second state.

[0055] The elastic reset element may be a coil spring, an elastic rope or other type of elastic element. As long as the elastic element is of a type that facilitates the storage of the cable 300, it falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0056] In addition, a limiting structure is arranged in the above-mentioned second accommodating space, and an anti-detachment structure is arranged on the cable 300. The anti-detachment structure can abut and cooperate with the limiting structure to limit the cable 300 through the abutment and cooperation between the anti-detachment structure and the limiting structure, so as to prevent excessive pulling of the cable 300 from causing the first end of the cable 300 to be disconnected from the carrier, thereby affecting the normal use of the electronic device.

[0057] One of the anti-slip structure and the limiting structure can be a limiting ring or a limiting block, and the other can be a limiting plate or a limiting rod. As long as the structure type can meet the use requirements, it belongs to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0058] The rotating storage member provided by the utility model can be rotated manually or driven to rotate by a driving member.
