[0002] As the types of mobile devices increase, the interface standards for charging or data transmission of mobile devices are different.

For users, different mobile devices may have different interfaces, and usually need to prepare a variety of different interface data cables, which brings inconvenience to use and carry. So there are two main types of data cables that can be replaced with different standard interfaces. One is to use an independent conversion head, that is, the data cable interface is converted to be consistent with the device through the conversion head. The advantage is that it is easy to carry, but it is easy to disperse and lose; the second is to use a non-separable adapter, that is, the adapter and the data cable are connected to the data cable whether it is used for conversion or non-conversion. This advantage can avoid the separation of components from being easily dispersed and lost.

[0003] The existing data line connector has two connector switchable structures, but the connector needs to be rotated 180 degrees when replacing it, which has a long rotation stroke and affects the electrical performance of the contact when multiple conversions are performed.

[0054] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides an embodiment of a rotatable double-headed data connector.

[0055] The rotatable double-head data connector comprises a connecting mechanism 1 and a connecting head 2 which is electrically connected to the connecting mechanism 1. The connecting head 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting mechanism 1 via a rotating shaft 22. The connecting head 2 comprises a connecting fixing seat 20 and a first data interface component A and a second data interface component B which are connected and fixed to the connecting fixing seat 20, and a connecting circuit board 21 which is electrically connected to the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B. The plugging directions of the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B are perpendicular to each other. The connecting fixing seat 20 comprises a connecting portion 203 and a first fixing portion 201 which fixes the first data interface component A, and a second fixing portion 202 which fixes the second data interface component B. The connecting portion 203 is provided with a receiving cavity 207 for receiving the end of the connecting mechanism 1. The receiving cavity 207 is divided into a first space 204 and a second space 205 by the connecting circuit board 21.

[0056] The conductive component can be a conductive needle, a conductive spring, or other structures, which are not limited here, as long as it can achieve continuous electrical connection with the conductive sheet 2111 during rotation. The conductive sheet 2111 can adopt a printed circuit or other conductive structure. The conductive sheet 2111 adopts a ring-shaped or arc-shaped structure, which can reduce the rotation space, thereby making the product structure more compact. The number of conductive sheets 2111 is equivalent to the number of data line cores or interfaces. When there are two data line cores, there are two conductive components and two conductive sheets 2111. When there are four data line cores, it is best to set the two conductive sheets 2111 on the same side concentrically.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first data interface component A is TYPE_C, Lightning connector or micro USB, etc., the second data interface B has a different interface type from the first data interface A, Lightning connector ormicroUSB and the like. It can be electrically connected to an external device to realize charging or data transmission. The first data interface component A and the second data interface component B respectively include a shell (not shown in the figure) and an interface circuit board (not shown in the figure) disposed in the shell, and the two interface circuits are electrically connected to the first connection part 213 and the second connection part 214 respectively. The angle between the first connection part 213 and the second connection part 214 is 90 degrees; the angle between the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B is 90 degrees. In this way, it can have a larger rotation angle when used, and at the same time, it does not affect the electrical connection between the two flexible data interface components and the external settings.

[0058] The first data interface component A and the second data interface component B are perpendicular to each other in a plane formed by rotation, that is, the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B are perpendicular to each other in a plane rotated by the rotating shaft 22, and the angle formed between the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B is 90 degrees.

[0059] In one embodiment, the connection mechanism 1 further comprises a housing 10 sleeved on the connection seat 11, a first mounting seat 101 and a second mounting seat 102 are provided at one end of the housing 10, a second mounting groove 103 for mounting the connection end of the connection seat 11 is provided between the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102, and the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 are respectively provided with a through hole 107 for mounting the rotating shaft 22. When the connection mechanism 1 comprises the housing 10, the first space 204 and the second space 205 also receive the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102, respectively.

[0060] In one embodiment, the ends of the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 are respectively provided with an inclined surface or a curved surface 1010 for enlarging the opening of the second mounting groove 103 .

[0061] In one embodiment, the ends of the first mounting seat 101, the second mounting seat 102, the first fixing seat 115 and the second fixing seat 116 are respectively semicircular or arc-shaped 1010, and the inclined surface or arc surface 1010 cooperates with the connecting end of the connecting seat 11. The assembly can avoid the connecting seat 11 from being installed too far, resulting in the axial hole through hole 107 and the fixing hole 112 on the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 not supplying wire, resulting in increased difficulty in installation. At the same time, when the device is inserted during use, the force between the connector 2 and the connecting mechanism 1 can be dispersed to the rotating shaft 22, the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102, and the connecting seat 11.

[0062] In one embodiment, one side of the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 away from the second mounting groove 103 is respectively set as a plane 105, and the plane 105 is lower than a part of the surface of the housing body 100.

[0063] In one embodiment, the first fixing portion 201 is arranged in a first mounting hole for the first data interface component A to pass through, which is not marked in the figure; the second fixing portion 202 is arranged in a second mounting hole for the second data interface component B to pass through, which is not marked in the figure.

[0064] In one embodiment, the first space 204 and the second space 205 are arranged in parallel, so as to better rotate with the first fixing seat 115 and the second fixing seat 116, or with the first fixing seat 115, the second fixing seat 116, the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102.

[0065] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 203 further includes a top portion 2032 and a bottom portion 2035, and the local sides of the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035 are respectively connected to the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202 through the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033, respectively, to form a storage cavity 207 composed of the top portion 2032, the bottom portion 2035, the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202, the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033, and the storage cavity 207 is provided with an opening 206 in the opposite direction of the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202. As required, one or both of the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035 are provided with a protrusion around the rotating shaft hole 2034 (not shown in the drawings), which can reduce the contact area between the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035 and the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035, or the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202, thereby reducing the resistance to rotation.

[0066] In one embodiment, the first fixing part 201 is provided with a first protrusion 2011, and the second fixing part 202 is provided with a second protrusion 2021. The first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 are respectively provided on both sides of the opening in the rotation direction to limit the rotation position of the connecting part 203, that is, the second mounting groove 103 is provided with a clearance part 106 on both sides of the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 22, and the clearance part 106 rotates with the first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 to provide a clearance space. The first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 respectively cooperate with the clearance part 106 or the connecting seat 11 to limit the rotation angle. At the same time, the clearance part 106 can also reduce the structural volume, making the structure more compact. Provide a clearance space, the first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 respectively cooperate with the clearance part 106 or the connecting seat 11 to limit the rotation angle. At the same time, the clearance part 106 can also reduce the structural volume, making the structure more compact. Provide a clearance space, the first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 respectively cooperate with the clearance part 106 or the connecting seat 11 to limit the rotation angle. At the same time, the clearance part 106 can also reduce the structural volume, making the structure more compact.

[0067] In one embodiment, the second connecting portion 214 is provided with a limiting member 215 that cooperates with the second fixing portion 202 .

[0068] In one embodiment, the conductive sheet 2111 on one surface of the connection circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the first data interface component A, and the conductive sheet 2111 on the other surface is electrically connected to the second data interface component B.

[0069] Since the connecting circuit board 21 is provided with two different data interface components in two directions respectively, one of the data interface components can be used and at the same time the direction of the data interface component can be rotated within a certain angle range. When different data interface components are used, the rotation range is smaller, thereby reducing the influence of the electrical properties between the conductive sheet and the conductive component. At the same time, it can also reduce the requirements for the charging direction when the data cable is charging, reduce the occurrence of easy breakage at the connection between the data cable and the connector, and improve the user experience.

[0070] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the connector 2 can also adopt the following structure, the connector 2 is provided with two data interface parts, wherein the first data interface part A is a USB interface; the second data interface part B is a TYPE_C interface. The first fixing part 201 is arranged in a first mounting hole for the USB interface to pass through, which is not marked in the figure; the second fixing part 202 is arranged in a second mounting hole for the TYPE_C interface to pass through, which is not marked in the figure. When installed, one end of the USB interface is located in the first mounting hole of the first fixing part 201, and forms an electrical connection with the first connecting part 213 of the connecting circuit board 21, and the other end extends out of the first fixing part 201 and is exposed outside the first mounting hole, and one end of the TYPE_C interface is located in the second mounting hole of the second fixing part 202, and forms an electrical connection with the second connecting part 214 of the connecting circuit board 21, and the other end extends out of the second fixing part 202 and is exposed outside the second mounting hole. The second connecting part 214 of the connecting circuit board 21 forms a 90-degree angle with the first connecting part 213 in the plane of the connecting circuit board 21 or in the rotation plane.

[0071] The first fixing part 201 has an extension part 2010 extending from one side of the first fixing part 201 in the opposite direction of the USB interface plug end, and the extension part 2010 forms a protrusion 2012 on the side, and the protrusion 2012 and the extension part 2010 respectively form steps on the side of the second fixing part 202. The extension part 2010 can increase the connection strength of the second fixing part 202. At the same time, the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033 have the same structure, that is, the length from the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033 to the extension part 2010 and the first fixing part 201 is the same, wherein the inclined surface length refers to the shortest distance from the top 2032 to the second fixing part surface 202 along the second inclined surface 2033, and from the top 2032 to the first fixing part surface 201 along the first inclined surface 2031, to ensure the uniformity of the structural strength of the connecting part 203. In this embodiment, the protrusion 2012 cooperates with the avoidance part 106 to limit. Other structures are the same as those in the above embodiment and are not repeated.

[0072] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the utility model also provides a data line embodiment.

[0073] The data cable includes a cable body 3 and a first connector arranged at one end of the cable body 3, and a second connector is arranged at the other end of the cable body 3. The second connector is a rotatable double-headed data connector, and the rotatable double-headed data connector includes a connecting mechanism 1 and a connecting head 2 which is electrically connected to the connecting mechanism 1, and the connecting head 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting mechanism 1 through a rotating shaft 22. The connecting head 2 includes a connecting fixing seat 20 and a first data interface component A and a second data interface component B which are connected and fixed to the connecting fixing seat 20, and a connecting circuit board 21 which is electrically connected to the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B. The plugging directions of the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B are perpendicular to each other. The connecting seat 20 includes a connecting portion 203 and a first fixing portion 201 which fixes the first data interface component A, and a second fixing portion 202 which fixes the second data interface component B. The connecting portion 203 is provided with a receiving cavity 207 for receiving the end of the connecting mechanism 1, and the receiving cavity 207 is divided into a first space 204 and a second space 205 by the connecting circuit board 21. The connecting circuit board 21 is provided with a first connecting portion 213 and a second connecting portion 214, and a rotating portion 211. The first connecting portion 213 is electrically connected to the first data interface component A, and the second connecting portion 214 is electrically connected to the second data interface component B. The rotating portion 211 is provided with an axial hole 2110 that matches the rotating shaft 22. Conductive sheets 2111 distributed around the axial hole are respectively provided on both sides of the connecting circuit board 21. The connecting mechanism 1 includes a connecting seat 11 and a conductive component (not shown in the drawings) provided on the connecting seat 11. The connecting end of the connecting seat 11 is provided with a fixing hole 112 for the rotating shaft 22 to pass through and a first mounting groove 114 for the rotating part 211 of the connecting circuit board 21 to rotate. The first mounting groove 114 forms a first fixing seat 115 and a second fixing seat 116 at the connecting end of the connecting seat 11. The first fixing seat 115 and the second fixing seat 116 are respectively accommodated in the first space 204 and the second space 205. The conductive component (not shown in the drawings) is installed in the first mounting groove 114 to form an electrical connection with the conductive sheet 2111.

[0074] The conductive component can be a conductive needle, a conductive spring, or other structures, which are not limited here, as long as it can achieve continuous electrical connection with the conductive sheet 2111 during rotation. The conductive sheet 2111 can adopt a printed circuit or other conductive structure. The conductive sheet 2111 adopts a ring-shaped or arc-shaped structure, which can reduce the rotation space, thereby making the product structure more compact. The number of conductive sheets 2111 is equivalent to the number of data line cores or interfaces. When there are two data line cores, there are two conductive components and two conductive sheets 2111. When there are four data line cores, it is best to set the two conductive sheets 2111 on the same side concentrically.

[0075] In this embodiment, the first data interface component A is TYPE_C, Lightning connector ormicro USB, etc., the second data interface B has a different interface type from the first data interface A, Lightning connector or microUSB and the like. It can be electrically connected to an external device to realize charging or data transmission. The first data interface component A and the second data interface component B respectively include a shell (not shown in the figure) and an interface circuit board (not shown in the figure) disposed in the shell, and the two interface circuits are electrically connected to the first connection part 213 and the second connection part 214 respectively. The angle between the first connection part 213 and the second connection part 214 is 90 degrees; the angle between the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B is 90 degrees. In this way, it can have a larger rotation angle when used, and at the same time, it does not affect the electrical connection between the two flexible data interface components and the external settings.

[0076] The first data interface component A and the second data interface component B are perpendicular to each other in a plane formed by rotation, that is, the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B are perpendicular to each other in a plane rotated by the rotating shaft 22, and the angle formed between the first data interface component A and the second data interface component B is 90 degrees.

[0077] In one embodiment, the connection mechanism 1 further comprises a housing 10 sleeved on the connection seat 11, a first mounting seat 101 and a second mounting seat 102 are provided at one end of the housing 10, a second mounting groove 103 for mounting the connection end of the connection seat 11 is provided between the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102, and the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 are respectively provided with a through hole 107 for mounting the rotating shaft 22. When the connection mechanism 1 comprises the housing 10, the first space 204 and the second space 205 also receive the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102, respectively.

[0078] In one embodiment, the ends of the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 are respectively provided with an inclined surface or an arc surface 1010 that enlarges the opening of the second mounting groove 103. The inclined surface or the arc surface 1010 cooperates with the connecting end of the connecting seat 11. The assembly can avoid the connecting seat 11 from being installed too far, resulting in the axial hole through hole 107 and the fixing hole 112 on the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 not supplying wire, resulting in increased difficulty in installation. At the same time, when the device is inserted during use, the force between the connector 2 and the connecting mechanism 1 can be dispersed to the rotating shaft 22, the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102, and the connecting seat 11.

[0079] In one embodiment, the ends of the first mounting seat 101 , the second mounting seat 102 , the first fixing seat 115 and the second fixing seat 116 are semicircular or arc-shaped, respectively.

[0080] In one embodiment, one side of the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102 away from the second mounting groove 103 is respectively set as a plane 105, and the plane 105 is lower than a part of the surface of the housing body 100.

[0081] In one embodiment, the first fixing portion 201 is arranged in a first mounting hole for the first data interface component A to pass through, which is not marked in the figure; the second fixing portion 202 is arranged in a second mounting hole for the second data interface component B to pass through, which is not marked in the figure.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first space 204 and the second space 205 are arranged in parallel, so as to better rotate with the first fixing seat 115 and the second fixing seat 116, or with the first fixing seat 115, the second fixing seat 116, the first mounting seat 101 and the second mounting seat 102.

[0083] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 203 further includes a top portion 2032 and a bottom portion 2035, and the local sides of the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035 are respectively connected to the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202 through the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033, respectively, to form a storage cavity 207 composed of the top portion 2032, the bottom portion 2035, the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202, the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033, and the storage cavity 207 is provided with an opening 206 in the opposite direction of the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202. As required, one or both of the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035 are provided with a protrusion around the rotating shaft hole 2034 (not shown in the drawings), which can reduce the contact area between the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035 and the top portion 2032 and the bottom portion 2035, or the first fixing portion 201 and the second fixing portion 202, thereby reducing the resistance to rotation.

[0084] In one embodiment, the first fixing part 201 is provided with a first protrusion 2011, and the second fixing part 202 is provided with a second protrusion 2021. The first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 are respectively provided on both sides of the opening in the rotation direction to limit the rotation position of the connecting part 203, that is, the second mounting groove 103 is provided with a clearance part 106 on both sides of the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 22, and the clearance part 106 rotates with the first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 to provide a clearance space. The first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 respectively cooperate with the clearance part 106 or the connecting seat 11 to limit the rotation angle. At the same time, the clearance part 106 can also reduce the structural volume, making the structure more compact. Provide a clearance space, the first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 respectively cooperate with the clearance part 106 or the connecting seat 11 to limit the rotation angle. At the same time, the clearance part 106 can also reduce the structural volume, making the structure more compact. Provide a clearance space, the first protrusion 2011 and the second protrusion 2021 respectively cooperate with the clearance part 106 or the connecting seat 11 to limit the rotation angle. At the same time, the clearance part 106 can also reduce the structural volume, making the structure more compact.

[0085] In one embodiment, the second connecting portion 214 is provided with a limiting member 215 that cooperates with the second fixing portion 202 .

[0086] In one embodiment, the conductive sheet 2111 on one surface of the connection circuit board 21 is electrically connected to the first data interface component A, and the conductive sheet 2111 on the other surface is electrically connected to the second data interface component B.

[0087] Since the connecting circuit board 21 is provided with two different data interface components in two directions respectively, one of the data interface components can be used and at the same time the direction of the data interface component can be rotated within a certain angle range. When different data interface components are used, the rotation range is smaller, thereby reducing the influence of the electrical properties between the conductive sheet and the conductive component. At the same time, it can also reduce the requirements for the charging direction when the data cable is charging, reduce the occurrence of easy breakage at the connection between the data cable and the connector, and improve the user experience.

[0088] like Figure 7-8As shown, the connector 2 can also adopt the following structure, the connector 2 is provided with two data interface parts, wherein the first data interface part A is a USB interface; the second data interface part B is a TYPE_C interface. The first fixing part 201 is arranged in a first mounting hole for the USB interface to pass through, which is not marked in the figure; the second fixing part 202 is arranged in a second mounting hole for the TYPE_C interface to pass through, which is not marked in the figure. When installed, one end of the USB interface is located in the first mounting hole of the first fixing part 201, and forms an electrical connection with the first connecting part 213 of the connecting circuit board 21, and the other end extends out of the first fixing part 201 and is exposed outside the first mounting hole, and one end of the TYPE_C interface is located in the second mounting hole of the second fixing part 202, and forms an electrical connection with the second connecting part 214 of the connecting circuit board 21, and the other end extends out of the second fixing part 202 and is exposed outside the second mounting hole. The second connecting part 214 of the connecting circuit board 21 forms a 90-degree angle with the first connecting part 213 in the plane of the connecting circuit board 21 or in the rotation plane.

[0089] The first fixing part 201 has an extension part 2010 extending from one side of the first fixing part 201 in the opposite direction of the USB interface plug end, and the extension part 2010 forms a protrusion 2012 on the side, and the protrusion 2012 and the extension part 2010 respectively form steps on the side of the second fixing part 202. The extension part 2010 can increase the connection strength of the second fixing part 202. At the same time, the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033 have the same structure, that is, the length from the first inclined surface 2031 and the second inclined surface 2033 to the extension part 2010 and the first fixing part 201 is the same, wherein the inclined surface length refers to the shortest distance from the top 2032 to the second fixing part surface 202 along the second inclined surface 2033, and from the top 2032 to the first fixing part surface 201 along the first inclined surface 2031, to ensure the uniformity of the structural strength of the connecting part 203. In this embodiment, the protrusion 2012 cooperates with the avoidance part 106 to limit. Other structures are the same as those in the above embodiment and are not repeated.
