[0002] Electronic connectors are also often called circuit connectors, electrical connectors, and conductor devices that bridge two conductors on a loop so that current or signals can flow from one conductor to another. An electronic connector is a motor system that provides a separable interface for connecting two sub-electronic systems. Simply put, the component used to complete the electrical connection between circuits or electronic machines is called a connector, which is the bridge between the two. In electrical connectors used in different electrical devices, the internal cable space size of the device is different due to the different uses of the equipment. In the process of cable arrangement, due to factors such as the narrow space, the cable arrangement direction is greatly limited, which can easily cause excessive bending of the cable and reduce the service life of the cable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0017] See also Figure 1-Figure 4The utility model provides a technical solution: a rotatable electrical connector, comprising a rotating ball body 1 and a rectangular plug 3 supported and connected by a plug base 2, a cable movement groove 4 is provided on the surface of the rotating ball body 1, and a slide rail switching disk 8 is installed at the intersection of all the cable movement grooves 4 of the rotating ball body 1.

[0018] The cable movement groove 4 passes through the rotating ball body 1 from top to bottom, leaving four groups of passages on the surface of the rotating ball body 1, the ends of the passages intersect with each other, and the other ends do not intersect with each other.

[0019] A guide rail 5 is arranged on the upper surface of the slot edge of the cable movement slot 4. The guide rail 5 is a rectangular protrusion, and there is another protrusion on the side surface of the protrusion. The whole is in the shape of a "7", and a limit plate 6 is arranged at the end of the guide rail 5. The limit plate 6 is connected to the guide rail 5 installed on the upper surface of the edge of the cable movement slot 4, so that the entire guide rail 5 forms a closed rail. The closed loop slide rail will not fall off accidentally when the cable guide 7 moves to the end of the slide rail.

[0020] The overall structure of the slide rail switching disk 8 is composed of two semicircular cylinders, and there is a protrusion on the upper surface of the cylinder. The radius of the protrusion is smaller than that of the cylinder. The outer surface of the protrusion is arc-shaped, fitting the curvature of the outer surface of the rotating ball body 1, and a guide slide rail 5 is also arranged on the outer surface of the protrusion. The cylindrical part of the slide rail switching disk 8 is hollowed out inside to form a notch, turning into a semi-enclosed arc-shaped shell to form a switching disk slider 11. When the slide rail switching disk 8 rotates, the diameter of the switching disk is larger than the diameter of the cable movement groove 4, which can ensure that the slide rail switching disk 8 will not fall off during rotation.

[0021] A cable stacking chamber 12 is arranged inside the rotating ball body 1. The cable stacking chamber 12 is a circular cavity. A switching disk embedded rotating groove 10 is arranged at the junction of the cable movement groove 4. The shape of the switching disk embedded rotating groove 10 and the sliding rail switching disk 8 fits the shape. The cable stacking chamber 12 can also reduce the weight of the device and the material cost without affecting the structural structure and structural strength.

[0022] A cable guide 7 is installed on the slide rail of the slide rail switching plate 8, and a guide slider 9 is installed on the lower surface of the cable guide 7 to cooperate with the guide slide rail 5.

[0023] When the utility model is in use, the rectangular plug 3 is first inserted into the electrical interface, and the slide rail switching disk 8 at the intersection of the cable movement groove 4 cooperates with the interlocking rotation groove 10 to enable the slide rail switching disk 8 to rotate freely, and then the cable guide 7 on the slide rail switching disk 8 is used to select the direction of cable arrangement, the cable guide 7 and the slide rail switching disk 8 are twisted and rotated, the corresponding track direction is selected, the cable guide 7 is slid along the guide rail 5, and the cable is moved to the cable movement groove in the corresponding direction to achieve the purpose of switching the cable arrangement direction.
