Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connectors, in particular to a connector, a data line and an electronic device. [Background technology]

[0002] With the diversification of electronic devices, traditional single-interface data cables have become increasingly limited in charging and data transmission, prompting the birth of data cable adapters, such as converting the TYPE EC interface connection to a MICRO-USB interface, which greatly improves the flexibility of use. However, although the adapter has achieved a breakthrough in function, it still needs to be optimized in actual applications, especially when the adapter is not in use. The adapter is easy to move freely. This non-fixedness not only makes it difficult for users to quickly locate the adapter and interface connection when they need to use it, but may also inadvertently cause the cable to become entangled and chaotic, affecting the overall aesthetics and user experience. [Utility Model Content]

[0003] In order to solve the technical problem that the existing adapter is easy to move freely when not in use, the utility model provides a connector, a data cable and an electronic device.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of the utility model is to provide a connector, including a main connector and an adapter pluggably connected to the main connector; the connector also includes a foldable connecting piece, the adapter is connected to the main connector via the connecting piece, and the connecting piece realizes the folding of the adapter; the main connector is provided with a first magnetic component, and the adapter is provided with a second magnetic component that cooperates with the first magnetic component; after the adapter is folded, the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are magnetically matched to make the adapter fold and fit with the main connector.

[0005] Preferably, the main connector includes a first body and a first plug arranged at one end of the first body, and the adapter is provided with an adapter interface corresponding to the first plug; the adapter cooperates with the first plug through the adapter interface to achieve plugging with the main connector.

[0006] Preferably, the first magnetic attraction member is arranged at an end of the main connector away from the adapter; the adapter includes a second body and a second plug arranged at one end of the second body away from one end of the adapter port, and the second magnetic attraction member is arranged on a side of the adapter close to the second plug.

[0007] Preferably, the first main body includes a first shell and a main joint body in the first shell, and a first receiving groove for accommodating the first magnetic attraction component is provided on the main joint body; the second main body includes a second shell and an adapter body in the second shell, and a second receiving groove for accommodating the second magnetic attraction component is provided on the adapter body.

[0008] Preferably, a first through hole is provided in the main connector body, a first circuit board is provided in the first through hole, the first magnetic component is isolated from the circuit board by the main connector body, and the first magnetic component is arranged parallel to the first circuit board; a second through hole is provided in the adapter body, a second circuit board is provided in the second through hole, the second magnetic component is isolated from the circuit board by the adapter body, and the second magnetic component is arranged parallel to the second circuit board.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting member includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion respectively disposed in the main joint and the adapter; the connecting member also includes a telescopic portion connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, and the telescopic portion is arranged on the same side as the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member.

[0010] Preferably, a first limiting groove cooperating with the first connecting portion is formed on the main joint body, and a second limiting groove cooperating with the second connecting portion is formed on the adapter body.

[0011] Preferably, a first groove matching the telescopic part is provided on the main joint body, and a second groove matching the telescopic part is provided on the adapter body. When the adapter is plugged into the main joint, the first groove is connected to the second groove to accommodate the telescopic part.

[0012] Another solution of the utility model to solve the technical problem is to provide a data cable, which includes a wire and a connector as described above arranged at at least one end of the wire.

[0013] Another solution of the utility model to solve the technical problem is to provide an electronic device, including the connector as mentioned above.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the connector, data cable and electronic device provided by the utility model have the following advantages:

[0015] 1. In the connector provided by the utility model, when the adapter is not in use, the magnetic connection cooperation between the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part provides the user with the convenience of quick connection and disconnection between the interface and the adapter, while exposing the charging end of the interface and avoiding the adapter from moving freely on the wire. The magnetic connection solves the problem of fixing the adapter when it is not in use, and it is firmly fixed on the interface, which is convenient for users to use. The magnetic connection does not involve physical friction and direct contact, and also reduces the wear of the interface and the adapter.

[0016] 2. The connector provided by the utility model, the adapter cooperates with the first plug through the adapter interface to realize the electrical connection between the adapter and the main connector, so as to meet the charging and data transmission requirements of different electronic devices, and provide mechanical fixing support for the main connector to be connected to the adapter.

[0017] 3. The connector provided by the utility model arranges the first magnetic component at an end of the interface away from the adapter, and the second magnetic component is arranged on a side of the adapter close to the second plug. Both the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are arranged away from the hand operation area when the user plugs and unplugs the adapter, thereby reducing the possibility of the magnetic component being damaged by pressing.

[0018] 4. In the connector provided by the utility model, the main connector body and the adapter body are wrapped in a shell. The shell plays a protective role, protecting the interface and the adapter from physical damage such as scratches and collisions. The shells of some metal materials also have certain electromagnetic shielding properties. The accommodating groove provides accommodating space for the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component in the main connector and the adapter, and ensures that they can be accurately aligned during connection. The internal space is reasonably arranged to make the overall structure compact and achieve visual consistency.

[0019] 5. In the connector provided by the utility model, the first magnetic component is arranged in parallel with the first circuit board, the second magnetic component is arranged in parallel with the second circuit board, and the first magnetic component is isolated from the first circuit board by the main connector body, and the second magnetic component is isolated from the second circuit board by the adapter body, thereby reducing the impact of electromagnetic interference on the circuit board, helping to optimize space utilization, and making the connector compact and neat in overall size.

[0020] 6. Compared with the traditional sliding connection between the main connector and the adapter, the sliding connection is very easy to wear after frequent plugging and unplugging, while the connector is firmly fixed in the main connector and the adapter respectively and does not need to be moved, and plugging and unplugging can be achieved only by the elastic stretching of the telescopic part; the telescopic part of the connector realizes the foldability of the connector, allowing the adapter to be freely folded within a certain range. In the event of accidental pulling or falling, the telescopic part of the connector can play a certain buffering role, absorb and disperse stress, reduce wear and tear, and extend the service life of the data line; the telescopic part is arranged on the same side as the first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part, limiting the adapter to be folded only toward the side facing away from the first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part, otherwise the adapter will block the connection surface between the interface and the external connection, hindering the normal use of the interface, and the same-side arrangement helps users to fold and magnetically connect the adapter and the interface more smoothly.

[0021] 7. The connector provided by the utility model has a first connection part arranged in the main joint, and a second connection part arranged in the adapter to provide physical fixation. The second connection part corresponds to the first connection part to ensure that the connecting member can be firmly connected to the main joint and the adapter. The limiting groove provides positioning and accommodating space for the first connection part and the second connection part. The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are aligned on the horizontal plane, which also enables the first connection part and the second connection part to be subjected to uniform and stable force when plugging and unplugging.

[0022] 8. The connector provided by the utility model has a groove that accommodates the telescopic part. The telescopic part is stretched when the adapter is pulled out of the main joint, and the telescopic part rebounds when the adapter is inserted into the main joint, but the adapter and the main joint are still connected. The adapter and the main joint need to reserve a sufficient length of accommodation space for the telescopic part to ensure the correct positioning and fixation of the telescopic part.

[0023] 9. The utility model also provides a data cable, including a wire and a connector as described above arranged at at least one end of the wire, which has the same beneficial effects as the above connector and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] 10. The utility model also provides an electronic device, including the connector as described above, which has the same beneficial effects as the above connector and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The first embodiment of the utility model provides a connector 100, which includes a main connector 1 and an adapter 2 that is pluggable and connected to the main connector 1. The main connector 1 is provided with a first magnetic component 11, and the adapter 2 is provided with a second magnetic component 21 that matches the first magnetic component 11 corresponding to the first magnetic component 11. The connector 100 includes a foldable connecting member 3, the main connector 1 and the adapter 2 are connected through the connecting member 3, and the connecting member 3 can realize the folding of the adapter 2 toward the main connector 1. After the adapter 2 is folded, the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are magnetically matched to make the adapter 2 fold and fit with the main connector 1.

[0044] The main connector 1 includes a first body 10 and a first plug 14 arranged at one end of the first body 10, and the adapter 2 is provided with an adapter interface 22 corresponding to the first plug 14; the adapter 2 is connected to the main connector 1 through the adapter interface 22 and the first plug 14, or is positioned on the side of the first body 10 through the second magnetic attraction part 21 and the first magnetic attraction part 11.

[0045] It can be understood that when the adapter 2 is not in use, the first magnetic component 11 provided in the main connector 1 cooperates with the second magnetic component 21 provided in the adapter 2, and the adapter 2 and the main connector 1 are folded and fitted together through the connecting member 3, forming a fixed connection that is not easy to separate. The magnetic components are attracted and fixed to each other, and the connection and disassembly are very convenient.

[0046] Specifically, the first magnetic member 11 is disposed at one end of the main connector 1 away from the adapter 2 as a fixed magnetic adsorption point, and can also be adsorbed in conjunction with magnetic materials on other components.

[0047] When the adapter 2 is needed for charging and data transmission, the adapter 2 cooperates with the first plug 14 through the adapter interface 22 to achieve electrical connection between the adapter 2 and the main connector 1; when the adapter 2 is not needed, the second magnetic component 21 cooperates with the first magnetic component 11 to make one of the side surfaces of the adapter 2 fit and fix with the corresponding side surface of the first main body 10.

[0048] For further information, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adapter 2 includes a second body 20 and a second plug 23 disposed at one end of the second body 20 away from the adapter port 22 , and the second magnetic attraction member 21 is disposed on a side of the adapter 2 close to the second plug 23 .

[0049] The adapter port 22 is an electronic component at one end of the adapter 2 close to the main connector 1 that cooperates with the first plug 14 to transmit data or power signals. The model is compatible with the first plug 14. The second plug 23 is an electronic component at the other end of the second body 20 and is compatible with external devices or other connectors so that data or power can be transmitted correctly.

[0050] It can be understood that the second magnetic member 21 is disposed on a side of the adapter 2 close to the second plug 23, ensuring that when the adapter 2 is positioned by the second magnetic member 21 and the first magnetic member 11, the second magnetic member 21 can be aligned with and effectively adsorbed to the first magnetic member 11 on the main connector 1. The magnetic connection between the first magnetic member 11 and the second magnetic member 21 provides convenience for quick connection and disconnection of the main connector 1 and the adapter 2.

[0051] Furthermore, the connector 100 includes a foldable connecting member 3 , and the connecting member 3 includes a first connecting portion 31 and a second connecting portion 32 respectively disposed in the main connector 1 and the adapter 2 .

[0052] The connector 3 enables the adapter 2 to be folded and positioned and fixed with the main connector 1 when not needed. The connector 3 is made of a flexible material with sufficient flexibility and elasticity, such as soft silicone, rubber or polyurethane. In this embodiment, the material of the connector 3 is not specifically limited, as long as the adapter 2 can be folded and restored.

[0053] The first connection part 31 and the second connection part 32 are respectively fixed in the main connector 1 and the adapter 2, so as to disperse the stress when the main connector 1 and the adapter 2 are plugged in, provide a buffer at the junction of the main connector 1 and the adapter 2, and increase the service life of the connector 100. The folded adapter 2 also saves space when not in use, thereby providing portability.

[0054] Furthermore, the first main body 10 includes a first shell 13 and a main joint body 12 in the first shell 13 . The main joint body 12 is provided with a first receiving groove 121 for receiving the first magnetic attraction member 11 .

[0055] The adapter 2 includes a second shell 25 and an adapter body 24 in the second shell 25 . The adapter body 24 is provided with a second receiving groove 241 for receiving the second magnetic attraction member 21 .

[0056] Specifically, the first receiving groove 121 is arranged on a side of the main joint body 12 away from the transfer port 22 and away from the first limiting groove 123 of the main joint body 12 for accommodating the first connection portion 31. Optionally, the first magnetic attraction member 11 can be arranged on the side in the length direction of the main joint body 12, and fixedly connected to the main joint body 12 in the first receiving groove 121, or fixed on the inner wall of the first shell 13 facing the main joint body 12, and the first receiving groove 121 is arranged on the main joint body 12 at a position corresponding to the first magnetic attraction member 11 on the first shell 13.

[0057] It can be understood that the first magnetic component 11 is arranged on the side of the main connector 1 away from the adapter port 22, and the second magnetic component 21 is arranged on the side of the adapter 2 close to the second plug 23. Both of the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 are arranged away from the hand operation area when the user plugs and unplugs the adapter 2, thereby reducing the damage that may be caused to the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21 by pressing.

[0058] See also Figure 5 A first through hole 125 is provided in the main connector body 12 and penetrates the entire main connector body 12. A first circuit board 126 is accommodated in the first through hole 125. The first magnetic component 11 is isolated from the first circuit board 126 by the thick wall of the main connector body 12 surrounding the first circuit board 126, and the first magnetic component 11 is arranged parallel to the first circuit board 126.

[0059] A second through hole 246 is provided in the adapter body 24 and passes through the entire adapter body 24. A second circuit board 247 is placed in the second through hole 246. The second magnetic component 21 is isolated from the second circuit board 247 by the thick wall of the adapter body 24 surrounding the second circuit board 247, and the second circuit board 247 is arranged parallel to the second magnetic component 21.

[0060] The first magnetic member 11 is isolated from the first circuit board 126 by the main connector body 12, and the second magnetic member 21 is isolated from the second circuit board 247 by the adapter body 24, thereby reducing the influence of electromagnetic interference on the circuit board.

[0061] Preferably, the first magnetic attraction member 11 and the first circuit board 126 are arranged in parallel along the first circuit board 126. The parallel layout helps to reduce the propagation path of various electromagnetic interferences and improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the circuit. Through reasonable parallel layout and shielding measures, the impact of electromagnetic interference on circuit performance can be effectively reduced.

[0062] Furthermore, a portion of the first plug 14 is exposed through a first through hole 125 provided in the main connector body 12 to be connected to the adapter 22 , and the first through hole 125 completely protects the first circuit board 126 in the main connector body 12 .

[0063] The second through hole 246 set in the adapter body 24 can accommodate the adapter interface 22 and the second plug 23 for the connector 100 to transmit data and power. The second plug 23 is partially exposed through the first through hole 125 to connect with the external device, and the second through hole 246 completely protects the second circuit board 247 in the adapter body 24.

[0064] The main joint body 12 is provided with a first limiting groove 123 which matches the first connecting portion 31 .

[0065] The adapter body 24 defines a second limiting groove 243 that matches the second connecting portion 32 .

[0066] The first limiting groove 123 and the second limiting groove 243 provide fixed connection space for the first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 to the main joint body 12 and the adapter body 24 respectively. The first connecting part 31 and the second connecting part 32 are completely placed in the first limiting groove 123 and the second limiting groove 243, so as to keep the horizontal surfaces of the main joint body 12 and the adapter body 24 flush and maintain the consistency of appearance.

[0067] See also Figure 5The first connection part 31 is tightly fixed in the first limiting groove 123 of the main joint body 12, and the second connection part 32 is tightly fixed in the second limiting groove 243 of the adapter body 24. Optionally, the first connection part 31 can be annular or square and sleeved in the first limiting groove 123, and an adhesive is also used to more firmly bond the first connection part 31 and the main joint body 12 together.

[0068] Preferably, the main joint body 12 and the first connection part 31 may be integrally formed, and the adapter body 24 and the second connection part 32 may be integrally formed, by a process such as injection molding or die casting.

[0069] It can be understood that the one-piece molding combines the main joint body 12 and the first connection part 31 into a complete part design and molding, which improves production efficiency and can also reduce the seam at the connection joint between the main joint body 12 and the first connection part 31, further increasing the stability of the connection. In the present utility model, there is no specific limitation on the connection method between the main joint body 12 and the first connection part 31, and the adapter body 24 and the second connection part 32, as long as a stable connection can be achieved.

[0070] The first shell 13 and the second shell 25 are made of wear-resistant and bending-resistant aluminum alloy metal material, which effectively protects the adapter body 24 and the circuits inside the main connector body 12 from external physical damage.

[0071] For further information, see Figure 3 - Figure 5 The connecting member 3 further includes a telescopic portion 33 connecting the first connecting portion 31 and the second connecting portion 32 , and the telescopic portion 33 is disposed on the same side as the first magnetic member 11 and the second magnetic member 21 .

[0072] Furthermore, a first groove 124 matching the telescopic part 33 is formed on the main joint body 12, and a second groove 245 matching the telescopic part 33 is formed on the adapter body 24. When the adapter 2 is plugged into the main joint 1, the first groove 124 is connected to the second groove 245 to accommodate the telescopic part 33.

[0073] The telescopic part 33 has good elasticity and reliability. When the adapter 2 is pulled out of the main connector 1, the adapter 2 can freely expand and contract along the plug-in direction. After the plug-in is completed, the adapter 2 is folded and magnetically connected to the main connector 1 due to the good flexibility and resilience of the telescopic part 33.

[0074] The telescopic part 33 can be designed as a sheet structure or a strip structure, so that it can be smoothly compressed and expanded when telescoped. When the first groove 124 is connected to the second groove 245, it acts as a guide rail to guide the movement direction of the telescopic part 33 during plugging and unplugging, preventing the telescopic part 33 from twisting or shifting when the adapter 2 is pulled out of the main connector 1.

[0075] The first groove 124 and the second groove 245 are formed on the inner walls of the main connector body 12 and the adapter body 24 facing the first shell 13 and the second shell 25 , and the first groove 124 is connected to the first limiting groove 123 accommodating the first connecting portion 31 , and the second groove 245 is connected to the second limiting groove 243 accommodating the second connecting portion 32 .

[0076] The first accommodating groove 121 and the second accommodating groove 241 , the first groove 124 and the second groove 245 , and the first limiting groove 123 and the second limiting groove 243 are arranged on the same side.

[0077] Specifically, when the adapter 2 is plugged into the main connector 1, the first shell 13, the second shell 25, and the first groove 124 and the second groove 245 together form a cavity for accommodating the telescopic part 33. The telescopic part 33 is placed in the first groove 124 and the second groove 245, with one end connected to the first connecting part 31 and the other end connected to the second connecting part 32.

[0078] Furthermore, a clamping ring 122 is formed on a protrusion at the end surface of the main joint body 12 along the width direction of the connector 100 , and the clamping ring 122 is clamped and abutted against an inner wall of an opening 242 of the adapter body 24 on a side facing the main joint 1 .

[0079] Specifically, a first plug 14 is arranged in the main connector body 12, and a snap ring 122 is arranged around the first plug 14. An inclination angle is formed between the snap ring 122 and the end face of the main connector body 12. The inclination angle has a certain degree of guiding effect, which reduces the lateral friction when plugging and unplugging the first plug 14 and the adapter 22, ensuring that the main connector body 12 can be smoothly snapped with the opening 242 and form a tight fit with the inner wall of the opening 242, thereby reducing the gap at the connection and improving the sealing of the connection.

[0080] The second embodiment of the present invention provides a data cable 200 . The data cable 200 includes a wire 4 and a connector 100 as shown above and disposed at at least one end of the wire 4 .

[0081] Specifically, the main connector 1 can be a type ec interface and / or a micro B interface, and the adapter 2 can be a Type-A adapter and / or a Lightning adapter.

[0082] like Figure 6 The data cable 200 shown has connectors 100 arranged at both ends of the wire 4, the main connector 1 at one end is a type ec interface, and the adapter 2 is a lighting interface, and the main connector 1 at the other end is a type ec interface, and the adapter 2 is a Type A interface.

[0083] The user can carry a connector 100 with multiple connection functions through only one data cable 200 to complete data transmission and charging. When not in use, the adapter 2 can be magnetically connected to the main connector 1 through the cooperation of the first magnetic component 11 and the second magnetic component 21, avoiding the risk of entanglement of the wire 4 and preventing the adapter 2 from floating freely in the space under the connection of the connector 3, thereby increasing the service life of the connector 3.

[0084] Optionally, the wire 4 may be made of wire materials such as braided wire and twisted wire to ensure the durability and anti-interference capability of the data cable 200 .

[0085] Please participate Figure 7 The third embodiment of the utility model provides an electronic device 300, including a connector 100 as shown above. The electronic device 300 can be a charger, a mobile power supply with a built-in data cable or a Bluetooth speaker, a portable hard disk and a solid-state hard disk with data storage function, or a solar charging device.

[0086] The electronic device 300 has the same beneficial effects as the connector 100 described above, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0087] Compared with the prior art, the connector, data cable and electronic device provided by the utility model have the following advantages:

[0088] 1. In the connector provided by the utility model, when the adapter is not in use, the magnetic connection cooperation between the first magnetic part and the second magnetic part provides the user with the convenience of quick connection and disconnection between the interface and the adapter, while exposing the charging end of the interface and avoiding the adapter from moving freely on the wire. The magnetic connection solves the problem of fixing the adapter when it is not in use, and it is firmly fixed on the interface, which is convenient for users to use. The magnetic connection does not involve physical friction and direct contact, and also reduces the wear of the interface and the adapter.

[0089] 2. The connector provided by the utility model, the adapter cooperates with the first plug through the adapter interface to realize the electrical connection between the adapter and the main connector, so as to meet the charging and data transmission requirements of different electronic devices, and provide mechanical fixing support for the main connector to be connected to the adapter.

[0090] 3. The connector provided by the utility model arranges the first magnetic component at an end of the interface away from the adapter, and the second magnetic component is arranged on a side of the adapter close to the second plug. Both the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component are arranged away from the hand operation area when the user plugs and unplugs the adapter, thereby reducing the possibility of the magnetic component being damaged by pressing.

[0091] 4. In the connector provided by the utility model, the main connector body and the adapter body are wrapped in a shell. The shell plays a protective role, protecting the interface and the adapter from physical damage such as scratches and collisions. The shells of some metal materials also have certain electromagnetic shielding properties. The accommodating groove provides accommodating space for the first magnetic attraction component and the second magnetic attraction component in the main connector and the adapter, and ensures that they can be accurately aligned during connection. The internal space is reasonably arranged to make the overall structure compact and achieve visual consistency.

[0092] 5. In the connector provided by the utility model, the first magnetic component is arranged in parallel with the first circuit board, the second magnetic component is arranged in parallel with the second circuit board, and the first magnetic component is isolated from the first circuit board by the main connector body, and the second magnetic component is isolated from the second circuit board by the adapter body, thereby reducing the impact of electromagnetic interference on the circuit board, helping to optimize space utilization, and making the connector compact and neat in overall size.

[0093] 6. Compared with the traditional sliding connection between the main connector and the adapter, the sliding connection is very easy to wear after frequent plugging and unplugging, while the connector is firmly fixed in the main connector and the adapter respectively and does not need to be moved, and plugging and unplugging can be achieved only by the elastic stretching of the telescopic part; the telescopic part of the connector realizes the foldability of the connector, allowing the adapter to be freely folded within a certain range. In the event of accidental pulling or falling, the telescopic part of the connector can play a certain buffering role, absorb and disperse stress, reduce wear and tear, and extend the service life of the data line; the telescopic part is arranged on the same side as the first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part, limiting the adapter to be folded only toward the side facing away from the first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part, otherwise the adapter will block the connection surface between the interface and the external connection, hindering the normal use of the interface, and the same-side arrangement helps users to fold and magnetically connect the adapter and the interface more smoothly.

[0094] 7. The connector provided by the utility model has a first connection part arranged in the main joint, and a second connection part arranged in the adapter to provide physical fixation. The second connection part corresponds to the first connection part to ensure that the connecting member can be firmly connected to the main joint and the adapter. The limiting groove provides positioning and accommodating space for the first connection part and the second connection part. The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are aligned on the horizontal plane, which also enables the first connection part and the second connection part to be subjected to uniform and stable force when plugging and unplugging.

[0095] 8. The connector provided by the utility model has a groove that accommodates the telescopic part. The telescopic part is stretched when the adapter is pulled out of the main joint, and the telescopic part rebounds when the adapter is inserted into the main joint, but the adapter and the main joint are still connected. The adapter and the main joint need to reserve a sufficient length of accommodation space for the telescopic part to ensure the correct positioning and fixation of the telescopic part.

[0096] 9. The utility model also provides a data cable, including a wire and a connector as described above arranged at at least one end of the wire, which has the same beneficial effects as the above connector and will not be described in detail here.

[0097] 10. The utility model also provides an electronic device, including the connector as described above, which has the same beneficial effects as the above connector and will not be described in detail here.

[0098] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
