[0021] 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 of 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.

Therefore, the features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0024] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other, but this must be based on the fact that they can be implemented by ordinary technicians in the field. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0025] The utility model provides a data connector.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the data connector provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a plug-in fixed base 10 and a connector component 20 that can be inserted into the plug-in fixed base 10, the connector component 20 has two relatively arranged plug-in slots 15, and a male connector 22 or a female connector 23 is arranged in the plug-in slot 15. The inner wall surface of the plug-in fixed base 10 is provided with a connecting spring sheet 16, and the connector component 20 is provided with a connecting contact 24 that contacts and cooperates with the connecting spring sheet 16 when the connector component 20 is inserted into the plug-in fixed base 10.

[0027] In the present application, the connector component 20 may be a dual male data connector having two male connectors 22, a dual female data connector having two female connectors 23, or a compatible data connector having one male connector 22 and one female connector 23. Furthermore, the male connector 22 and the female connector 23 are not limited to Lightning interfaces, TYPE-C interfaces, MICRO interfaces, or other types of connectors, and are not limited thereto.

[0028] In the present application, when the connector on one side of the connector component 20 cannot be used (needs to be replaced with another type of connector or is damaged), the connector component 20 can be taken out of the plug-in fixed base 10 and the other side can be switched and then reinserted into the plug-in fixed base 10, thereby realizing the replacement and use of the second type of connector, thereby improving convenience.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the connector component 20 has two male connectors 22 on both sides. When one of the male connectors 22 is damaged or mismatched, it can be exchanged with the other male connector 22, thereby avoiding the problem of carrying various data cables when going out and improving practicality.

[0030] In order to make the data connector provided by the present application more compact, in one embodiment, a through hole 19 can be opened on the plug-in fixed base 10, and the unused connector can pass through the through hole 19 to minimize the space occupied by the data connector.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2-3 The plug-in fixed base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and extension plates 12 arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 11, so that the cross-section of the plug-in fixed base 10 is U-shaped and encloses a plug-in cavity 13, and the connector component 20 can be inserted into the plug-in cavity 13. In this embodiment, the side walls of the two extension plates 12 facing each other are provided with a concave accommodating cavity 14, and the accommodating cavity 14 has a vertically extending plug-in slot 15, and the connecting spring 16 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 14 and is located on both sides of the plug-in slot 15 and extends out of the plug-in slot 15. That is to say, when the connector component 20 is inserted, not only can the stability be improved by the limitation of the plug-in slot 15 and the contact point, but also an electrical connection can be provided by the contact between the contact point and the connecting spring 16 during insertion. The contact point and the connecting spring 16 are used by the connector component 20 and the mainboard for communication and charging, including VCC / DM / DP / CC / GND.

[0032] Furthermore, the distance between the two connecting spring sheets 16 in the same plug-in slot 15 is smaller than the width of the contact point, thereby ensuring the connection stability between the connecting spring sheets 16 and the contact point.

[0033] In addition, the connecting spring 16 passes through the bottom plate 11 and has an exposed portion 17, and the exposed portion 17 can be used to connect with the main board. At the same time, the bottom plate 11 is provided with a positioning column 18 that can be connected with the main board on the side away from the plug-in cavity 13. Therefore, the plug-in fixed base 10 and the main board can be positioned and connected through the positioning column 18, and electrically connected through the exposed portion 17.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the connector component 20 has a main body 21, and the two plug-in slots 15 are arranged on two opposite end faces of the main body 21. A male connector 22 or a female connector 23 may be provided in the plug-in slot 15. The contact contacts are arranged on two side surfaces of the main body 21, and a positioning connector is also provided on the main body 21.

[0035] Furthermore, the utility model also provides a data cable, which includes a wire body 21 and at least one data connector connected to one end of the wire body 21. Since the data cable adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the concept of the utility model, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
