[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 , a USB or Type-C bidirectional connector, comprising a connector body 1, a bending portion 2 with a 90-degree bend is provided at one end of the bottom of the connector body 1, and the bottom of the bending portion 2 is used to connect a wire 3, a USB male connector 4 is provided at one end of the connector body 1 close to the bending portion 2, and a Type-C male connector 5 is provided at the other end; slide plates 6 are slidably provided on both sides of the left and right sides of the connector body 1, a connecting block 7 is provided between the two slide plates 6 and close to one end of the USB male connector 4, a USB female connector 8 is provided at one end of the connecting block 7, and a Type-C female connector 9 is provided at the other end, and the connecting block 7 is rotatably connected to the slide plate 6 through a rotating shaft 10;

[0026] The slide plate 6 is fixed to the side of the connector body 1 by a clamping assembly;

[0027] When used in the initial state, such as Figure 1 As shown, the Type-C male connector 5 and the USB male connector 4 are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the connector body 1, and both the Type-C male connector 5 and the USB male connector 4 are powered on and can be used, so that the Type-C male connector 5 and / or the USB male connector 4 can be connected to other electronic components at this time, which is convenient for people to use. At the same time, under the action of the snap-on assembly, the slide plate 6 can be firmly fixed on the connector body 1, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of loosening of the Type-C male connector 5 and / or the USB male connector 4 during use, so that the overall use effect is better.

[0028] Furthermore, the snap-fitting assembly includes three active snap-fitting parts 11 and two passive snap-fitting parts 12; wherein, the three active snap-fitting parts 11 are arranged on the connector body 1 at equal intervals, and the active snap-fitting part 11 located in the middle is on the center line of the connector body 1; the two passive snap-fitting parts 12 respectively cooperate with any two adjacent active snap-fitting parts 11 among the three active snap-fitting parts 11; the active snap-fitting part 11 includes grooves 111 symmetrically opened on the left and right sides of the connector body 1, and an elastic block 112 is arranged inside the groove 111, and a connecting ball 113 is arranged on the end face of the elastic block 112 facing the outside of the connector body 1; the passive snap-fitting part 12 includes a slot 121 opened on the side wall of the slide 6, and the slot 121 is adapted to the connecting ball 113.

[0029] When the above-mentioned snap-on assembly is in use: since the slide plate 6 can slide on the side of the connector body 1, when the slide plate 6 slides to a certain position, the connecting ball 113 will just fit with the slot 121, so that the slide plate 6 can hover at this position; and since the materials of the connecting ball 113 and the elastic block 112 are both hard elastic rubber, and the connecting ball 113 has a certain wear resistance, therefore, when it is necessary to change the position of the slide plate 6 again, only a little force is needed, so that the connecting ball 113 and the elastic block 112 will be deformed by the force, and then the connecting ball 113 and the elastic block 112 will shrink to the inside of the groove 111, and the connecting ball 113 will be disengaged from the slot 121, so that the slide plate 6 can slide again.

[0030] In addition, in order to facilitate the auxiliary clamping assembly to position the slide plate 6, first friction surfaces 13 corresponding to and aligned with the three active clamping parts 11 are provided on the left and right sides of the connector body 1, and second friction surfaces 14 corresponding to and aligned with the two passive clamping parts 12 are provided on the side wall of the slide plate 6; the first friction surface 13 and the second friction surface 14 are in contact with each other and generate a certain friction force, which further prevents the slide plate 6 from sliding easily and improves the use effect of the entire connector.

[0031] In addition, a first positioning line 15 and a second positioning line 16 are arranged on the top of the connector body 1, and a third positioning line 17 cooperating with the first positioning line 15 and the second positioning line 16 is arranged on the top of the slide plate 6. By forming a whole straight line between the first positioning line 15 and the second positioning line 16 or the first positioning line 15 and the third positioning line 17, the user can understand whether the slide plate 6 has been moved into place at this time, which is convenient for more intuitive understanding and has a good use effect.

[0032] In summary, the above connector can be used as follows Figure 6 As shown, in the initial state, the connector as a whole is as shown in (a) (in order to facilitate a more intuitive understanding, the connector body 1 and the slide plate 6 are disassembled and separated horizontally to form two left and right structures as shown in the figure, but in fact, the two are overlapped), the Type-C male connector 5 and the Type-C female connector 9 are plugged in and powered on, so that the USB male connector 4 and the USB female connector 8 are powered on at this time, and the user can connect with other electronic components through the USB male connector 4 and / or the USB female connector 8;

[0033] When it is necessary to change to a Type-C interface, the slide plate 6 can be slid upward. In the initial state, the two slots 121 on the slide plate 6 are engaged with the two connecting balls 113 at the lower side of the connector body 1.

[0034] [As can be seen in (a)], when the slide plate 6 slides upward for a distance, the two slots 121 will engage with the two upper connection balls 113, as shown in (b), and at this time the Type-C male connector 5 is also completely separated from the Type-C female connector 9; then the slide plate 6 is rotated, and the slide plate 6 rotates with the central axis of the middle connection ball 113 as the rotation axis 10, and the slide plate 6 stops after rotating half a circle, as shown in (c); then the position of the slide plate 6 is kept unchanged, and the connection block 7 is rotated so that the connection block 7 rotates with the central axis of the shaft 10 as the rotation axis 10 Rotate half a circle, so that the USB male connector 4 and the USB female connector 8 at both ends of the connecting block 7 are swapped with each other, as shown in (d); then push the slide plate 6 upward, so that after the slide plate 6 rises, the two card slots 121 are engaged with the two connecting balls 113 above, and at the same time, the USB male connector 4 and the USB female connector 8 are plugged into each other and powered on, as shown in (e). At this time, the Type-C male connector 5 and the Type-C female connector 9 are outside, thereby completing the USB to Type-C conversion, so as to meet the needs of different users and improve the scope of application.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
