[0002] A data cable is a cable or connecting line used to transmit data. It is usually used to connect electronic devices to other devices for data transmission, file sharing, device charging and other operations. A data cable is usually composed of a conductor, an insulation layer, a shielding layer and an outer protective cover to ensure the reliability and stability of data transmission.

[0003] Adding a protective box to the data cable can effectively protect the data cable from the influence and damage of the external environment. It can prevent the data cable from being stepped on, squeezed or pulled, thereby avoiding internal line breakage or connector damage. In addition, the protective box can also play a dust-proof and waterproof role. Since the protective box provides additional protection, the damage to the data cable during use will be reduced, thereby extending its service life, which reduces the need for users to frequently replace data cables and saves cost and time. Moreover, for people who often go out, the data cable with a storage function can be easily stored in a bag or pocket to avoid excessive bending, pulling and friction of the data cable. This convenience allows users to easily carry and use the data cable when they go out. The storage function helps to reduce the risk of damage to the data cable and can reduce the cost of frequent replacement of data cables.

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a data cable with a protective storage function includes a protective shell 1 and a data cable 2 passing through both ends of the protective shell 1. The protective shell 1 is composed of a rear shell 3 and a front shell 4. A winding mechanism is provided in the rear shell 3. One end of the winding mechanism is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rear shell 3, and the other end of the winding mechanism is rotatably connected to the bottom of the front shell 4. The data cable 2 is sleeved on the outside of the winding mechanism, and limiting devices are installed on both sides of the front shell 4.

[0026] like Figure 1As shown, a data cable with a protective storage function in the utility model is similar to the existing data cable structure, such as the data cable disclosed in the patent publication number CN219801365U. The main improvement of the utility model is that the data cable is easier to store and carry, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, when a data cable with a protective storage function in the utility model is used, the rear shell 3 and the front shell 4 are separated, the winding mechanism is rotated to the maximum tension, and then the data cable 2 is inserted from one end of the front shell 4 and passes through the winding mechanism and out from the other end of the front shell 4, and the rear shell 3 and the front shell 4 are combined together. The winding mechanism is pulled by the tension and rotates continuously, and the data cable 2 located outside the winding mechanism is pulled inward and rotated, so that the data cable 2 is stored in the protective shell 1. When the user pulls out the data cable 2, the data cable 2 is pulled out of the protective shell 1 for a certain length, and the limiting device fixes it on the outside of the front shell 4, and the data cable 2 will not be stored in the protective shell 1. The winding mechanism maintains the tension tightening state. After the limiting device is opened, the data cable 2 is retracted into the protective shell 1, and the storage of the data cable 2 is completed; the data cable 2 in the protective shell 1 can be automatically retracted, which provides convenience for users to use, and even if the data cable 2 is used for a long time and needs to be replaced with a new data cable 2, the protective shell 1 can continue to be used to protect and store the new data cable 2, thereby improving the practicality of the protective shell 1.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, a limiting ring 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rear shell 3, a circular plate 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting ring 301, a tension spring sheet 5 is installed in the limiting ring 301, one end of the tension spring sheet 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting ring 301, and the other end is fixedly connected to the winding mechanism.

[0028] Specifically, through this arrangement, the tension spring piece 5 is fixed in the limit ring 301. When the winding mechanism is rotated, the tension spring piece 5 is continuously tightened inward, and the tension increases. When the winding mechanism is released, the tension spring piece 5 rebounds, driving the winding mechanism and the bottom of the rear shell 3 and the bottom of the front shell 4 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of storing the data cable 2. The circular plate 302 can help the tension spring piece 5 avoid affecting the winding mechanism when rotating, and the tension spring piece 5 always remains in a fixed position.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the winding mechanism includes a rotating rod 303, a connecting disk 304 and a fixed column 305. The rotating rod 303 is rotatably connected to the center of the bottom of the rear shell 3. The other end of the rotating rod 303 is passed through a circular plate 302 and fixedly connected to the connecting disk 304. Two symmetrical fixed columns 305 are fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting disk 304. One end of the tension spring sheet 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 303 close to the rear shell 3.

[0030] Specifically, through this arrangement, the rotating rod 303 can be rotatably connected to the rear shell 3 under the influence of the tension spring sheet 5, and the fixed column 305 connected thereto is rotatably connected to the front shell 4, so that the entire winding mechanism can rotate inside the protective shell 1 and store the data cable 2 to the outside of the fixed column 305.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the data line 2 is sleeved on the outside of the fixing column 305 .

[0032] Specifically, through this arrangement, after the data cable 2 passes through the front shell 4, it is placed between the two fixed columns 305. The fixed columns 305 rotate around the center of the rotating rod 303, driving the data cable 2 to be wound around the outside of the fixed columns 305. The two ends of the data cable 2 are wound inwardly around the outside of the fixed columns 305 from two opposite angles. When the user pulls one end of the data cable 2 out of the protective shell 1, the other end is rotated in the opposite direction and accumulated in the protective shell 1. When the data cable 2 is retracted, the end of the data cable 2 accumulated in the protective shell 1 is restored to be wound around the fixed column 305, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the use length of the data cable 2.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the front shell 4 has wire passages 401 at both ends, the inner wall of the wire passage 401 has a slide groove 402, and a limiting device is installed in the slide groove 402. Both ends of the data line 2 pass through the wire passage 401 and are connected to the outside.

[0034] Specifically, by setting up this limiting device, the data cable 2 pulled out from the protective shell 1 can be stuck on the outside of the front shell 4, providing a fixing effect for the data cable 2. The data cable 2 will not be wound into the protective shell 1 by the winding mechanism, which is convenient for users to use.

[0035] like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, the limiting device includes a fixed block 6, a toggle rod 7 and a resistance spring 8. The fixed block 6 is slidably connected in the slide groove 402, the resistance spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed block 6, the other end of the resistance spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide groove 402, the toggle rod 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed block 6, a connecting groove 403 connected to the slide groove 402 is opened on the surface of the front shell 4, and the toggle rod 7 passes through the connecting groove 403.

[0036] Specifically, through this setting, the user can press the direction of the toggle rod 7 to slide the fixed block 6 located in the slide groove 402, so that it can unfold the wire channel 401, and the data cable 2 can be put into the protective shell 1. When released, the resistance spring 8 pushes the fixed block 6 to clamp the data cable 2 on the inner wall of the wire channel 401 to achieve a fixing effect.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, a slot 601 is formed at one end of the fixing block 6 close to the wire passage 401 .

[0038] Specifically, by this arrangement, the inner wall of the card slot 601 and the outer side of the data cable 2 are more closely fitted, and when the fixing block 6 continuously squeezes the data cable 2 , damage to the outer side of the data cable 2 can be reduced, while providing the effect of fixing the data cable 2 .

[0039] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
