[0030] The utility model provides a two-in-one data cable.
[0031] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the two-in-one data cable includes a transmission conductor 10 , an adapter 20 , a protective shell 30 , a plurality of connectors and a plurality of toggle members 50 .
[0032] Specifically, the adapter 20 is connected to the transmission conductor 10;
[0033] The protective shell 30 is sleeved on the outside of the adapter 20. The side of the protective shell 30 facing away from the transmission wire 10 is provided with multiple extension openings 31, and the multiple extension openings 31 are arranged at intervals from each other. The side of the protective shell 30 is provided with multiple vias 32, and the multiple vias 32 all extend along the first direction.
[0034] Multiple connectors can be retractably installed in the protective shell 30, each connector is connected to the adapter 20 through a wire, multiple connectors are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple extension ports 31, and each connector has a charging position and a storage position. In the charging position, the connector extends from the extension port 31, and in the storage position, the connector retracts into the extension port 31. Multiple toggle members 50 are slidably installed in the protective shell 30 along a first direction, multiple toggle members 50 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence with multiple connectors, one toggle member 50 is arranged corresponding to one through hole 32, and is provided with a toggle portion 51, the toggle portion 51 extends from the corresponding through hole 32, and the toggle member 50 is used to drive the connector to move between the charging position and the storage position.
[0035] There are at least two connectors, and the models of the two connectors are different. Specifically in actual use, the user can push out the connector adapted to the electronic device through the toggle 50, so as to plug it into the interface of the electronic device, while the other connectors are located in the protective shell 30 for storage to avoid being scattered. When charging or data transmission is completed, the connector is disengaged from the interface. At this time, the user can move the connector from the charging position to the storage position through the toggle 50. In other words, the toggle 50 drives the connector to retract into the extension port 31 for storage. This arrangement allows the user to push out the connector adapted to the electronic device from the extension port 31 through the toggle 50 when the data cable is needed for charging or data transmission. After use, the connector can also be pushed back into the protective shell 30 through the toggle 50 for storage.
[0036] Exemplarily, the number of connectors may be but not limited to two, three, four, etc. Among them, the models of the multiple connectors may be Type-C connector 40, Type-B connector, Lightning connector 41, etc. It is worth noting that the models of the multiple connectors may be set to be different from each other, or the multiple connectors may be set in groups of two, with the models of the connectors in each group being different from each other, and the models of the two connectors in the same group being the same, so that when one of the connectors fails, the other one can be used.
[0037] The technical solution of the utility model is to sleeve the protective shell 30 on the outer side of the adapter 20, and provide a plurality of extension openings 31 on the side of the protective shell 30 away from the adapter 20, and the plurality of extension openings 31 are spaced apart from each other, and the side of the protective shell 30 is provided with a plurality of through holes 32, and the plurality of through holes 32 all extend along the first direction; a plurality of connectors can be telescopically installed in the protective shell 30, and are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of extension openings 31, each connector is connected to the adapter 20 through a wire, and has a charging position and a storage position, in the charging position, the connector extends from the extension opening 31, and in the storage position, the connector retracts into the extension opening 31; a plurality of toggle members 50 are slidably installed in the protective shell 30 along the first direction, and are connected one-to-one with the plurality of connectors, and one toggle member 50 is arranged corresponding to one through hole 32, and each toggle member 50 is provided with a toggle portion 51, and the toggle member 50 is used to drive the connector to move between the charging position and the storage position. In this way, when the user needs to use the data cable for charging or data transmission, the user can push out the connector that is compatible with the electronic device through the toggle member 50, so as to plug into the interface of the electronic device, while the other connectors are located in the protective shell 30 for storage to avoid being scattered. When charging or data transmission is completed, the connector is separated from the interface. At this time, the user can move the connector from the charging position to the storage position through the toggle member 50. In other words, the toggle member 50 drives the connector to retract into the extension port 31 for storage, thereby improving the user experience.
[0038] In some embodiments, the two-in-one data cable includes two connectors, and the two connectors are connectors of different models. That is, the protective shell 30 is provided with two extension ports 31, and the two connectors are arranged one by one corresponding to the two extension ports 31. In this embodiment, one of the two connectors is a Type-C connector 50, and the other is a Lightning connector 51. We know that the connectors of current electronic products are mainly divided into Type-C connectors 40 and Lightning connectors 41. Setting the two connectors as Type-C connectors 40 and Lightning connectors 41 respectively can meet the user's usage needs. Of course, in other embodiments, the two connectors can also be set as Type-C connectors 40 and Type-B connectors, Type-B connectors and Lightning connectors 41, etc.
[0039] In some embodiments, a first limiting groove 33 is provided at one end of the side wall of the protective shell 30 near the extension port 31, and a limiting protrusion 52 is provided at a position of the toggle member 50 corresponding to the first limiting groove 33. The toggle member 50 has a limiting state and an unlocking state. In the limiting state, the limiting protrusion 52 extends into the first limiting groove 33 to limit the connector to the charging position.
[0040] Specifically, when the user toggles the toggle member 50 to drive the connector to the charging position, the limiting protrusion 52 can extend into the first limiting groove 33, and the limiting protrusion 52 and the first limiting groove 33 cooperate with each other to limit the connector to the charging position, so that when the user plugs the connector into the electronic device, the user does not need to press against the toggle member 50, which can prevent the connector from retracting into the extension port 31 when the connector is plugged into the electronic device. Such a configuration is conducive to improving the user's experience.
[0041] Furthermore, the inner wall of the protective shell 30 is also provided with a second limiting groove 34, and the second limiting groove 34 is located between the two ends of the protective shell 30. The toggle member 50 also has a second limiting state. In the second limiting state, the limiting protrusion 52 extends into the second limiting groove 34 to limit the toggle member 50 to the storage position.
[0042] Specifically, when the user turns the toggle member 50 to drive the connector to the storage position, the limiting protrusion 52 can extend into the second limiting groove 34, and the limiting protrusion 52 and the second limiting groove 34 cooperate with each other to limit the connector to the storage position, thereby preventing the connector from slipping out of the extension opening 31. Such a configuration is conducive to improving the user experience.
[0043] In some embodiments, the two-in-one data cable also includes an abutment plate 60 and an elastic member 70, the abutment plate 60 is arranged between the two toggle members 50, and in some embodiments, the first connecting member is arranged on one side of the mounting frame, the elastic member 70 is connected between the toggle member 50 and the abutment plate 60, and has an elastic deformation that drives the toggle member 50 to move from the unlocked state to the limited state.
[0044] Specifically, when in the charging position, the elastic member 70 can limit the limiting protrusion 52 within the first limiting groove 33, and when in the storage position, the elastic member 70 can limit the limiting protrusion 52 within the second limiting groove 34 to prevent the limiting protrusion 52 from detaching from the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 34.
[0045] When the limiting protrusion 52 needs to be disengaged from the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 34, it is only necessary to press the toggle member 50 to move the toggle member 50 from the limiting state to the unlocking state, so that the limiting protrusion 52 can be disengaged from the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 34, and then the toggle member 50 can be moved toward the charging position / the storage position. After the movement is completed, the toggle member 50 is released, and the elastic member 70 is elastically deformed to drive the toggle member 50 to move from the unlocking state to the limiting state, thereby driving the limiting protrusion 52 to stably extend into the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 34. The elastic member 70 can be, but is not limited to, a spring, a spring sheet, an elastic pad, etc.
[0046] In some embodiments, the elastic member 70 includes a first section and a second section, one end of the first section is connected to the toggle member 50 , the second section is connected to the other end of the first section and extends obliquely toward the toggle member 50 , and the extended end of the second section is spaced from the toggle member 50 .
[0047] Specifically, the elastic member 70 is a V-shaped spring sheet, one section of which is connected to the toggle member 50, and the other section is spaced from the toggle member 50, so that when the user presses the toggle member 50, the spring sheet can be elastically deformed under the pressure of the user, and when the user releases the toggle member 50, the spring sheet is elastically deformed to drive the toggle member 50 to move from the unlocked state to the limited state, thereby driving the limited protrusion 52 to stably extend into the first limited groove 33 / the second limited groove 34. Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic member 70 can also be a spring, an elastic pad, etc.
[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
