[0020] Compared with the prior art, the data cable provided by the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. The data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model includes a massage section, and a first connector and / or a second connector connected to the end of the massage section; the massage section includes a bendable housing, a flexible circuit structure disposed inside the housing, and a massage function member. The first connector is electrically connected to the second connector through the flexible circuit structure, and the massage function member is electrically connected to the first connector and / or the second connector through the flexible circuit structure. This data cable can not only achieve functions such as data transmission and device charging, but also achieve a massage function. The bendable housing and the flexible circuit structure enable the entire massage section to be bendable, and this structure can better conform to the human body curve, especially parts with complex curved surfaces such as the neck and shoulders. This data cable integrates the massage function into the middle position between the first connector and the second connector of the data cable, without damaging the overall linear structure of the data cable, facilitating storage and arrangement, and users can use the linear structure of the data cable itself to wind around body parts, better fixing and fitting the massage section on the part to be massaged, further improving the accuracy and comfort of the massage.

[0022] 2. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the massage function members are provided with at least two, and are sequentially arranged at intervals along the length direction of the massage section. Setting multiple massage function members can enhance the massage effect, and arranging them along the length direction of the massage section can form a wider massage area, achieving a multi-dimensional massage effect on the massage section. Moreover, there will be gaps between the spaced massage function members, and by changing the size of the gaps, the bending radian size of the massage section can be adjusted, making the overall design of the data cable more flexible.

[0023] 3. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the massage function member is arranged on the central axis of the massage section, so that the overall center of gravity of the massage section is on its central axis. When the massage section conforms to the human body for massage, especially when massaging by generating vibration, the center of gravity of the entire data cable is more stable, not easily turning up due to the offset of the center of gravity, and the twisting and winding of the data cable during use can be reduced. Moreover, this layout gives the data cable a symmetrical aesthetic feeling, enhancing the overall texture of the product.

[0024] 4. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the housing is provided with a flexible massage part corresponding to the massage function member. The massage part corresponding to the massage function member can ensure less attenuation of the massage intensity and ensure the massage effect. The flexible massage part can reduce the pressure of the massage section on the skin, avoid discomfort or pain, and at the same time can make the distribution of the massage force more uniform, improving the user experience. Massage structures are provided on the relative two sides of the massage part, and the massage structures on both sides can provide a richer massage experience, and two different massage effects can be achieved by setting different massage structures on both sides.

[0025] 5. The data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model has a cavity for accommodating the massage functional component in the massage part. A boss is provided on the inner wall of the cavity, which can better fix the massage functional component in the cavity. When the massage functional component vibrates for massage, it can better drive the massage part to vibrate together, and then better cooperate with the massage structure to obtain a better massage experience.

[0026] 6. The data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model has an elastic structure provided on the periphery of the massage structure on at least one side. The elastic structure increases the range of movement when the massage functional component generates vibration, increases the vibration space, and at the same time can concentrate the vibration effect of the massage functional component on the massage structure, reducing the attenuation caused by the vibration being transmitted to the rest of the housing.

[0027] 7. The data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model has an elastic structure including a first annular groove, an annular protrusion, and a second annular groove connected in sequence. The elastic structure forms a structure similar to a "bow". When the massage functional component generates vibration for massage, this design can effectively increase the vibration range of the massage functional component in all directions, obtain a better vibration massage effect, and at the same time can effectively prevent the vibration from spreading to other parts.

[0028] 8. The data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model further includes a data cable body, which is connected to the middle parts of both ends of the massage section. The massage section is electrically connected to the first connector and the second connector through the data cable body. The data cable body is connected to the middle parts of both ends of the massage section. When connecting the first connector and the second connector, it will not cause the center of gravity to shift. This design makes the data cable more stable during use and is not easily distorted or wound due to the center of gravity shift. The design of the center of gravity balance helps to reduce the wear and damage of the data cable during long-term use and extends its service life.

[0029] 9. The massage functional components in the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model are connected in parallel through a flexible circuit structure, which improves the reliability and stability of the device. Even if a certain massage functional component fails, other massage functional components can still work normally, thus preventing the paralysis of the entire massage section, having a high fault tolerance, and reducing the risk of the device failing due to a single-point failure. Each massage functional component can operate and be maintained independently, which helps to reduce the maintenance cost and extend the service life. In addition, the parallel design can achieve unified control and simplify the operation of the user.

[0030] 10. In the data cable provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the flexible circuit structure is provided with connection holes by avoiding the massage function components. Corresponding to the connection holes on the inner side of the housing, connection structures are oppositely arranged, and the connection structures are connected through the connection holes. The outer housing and the flexible circuit structure can be more closely and stably connected through the connection holes. The connection structures can be integrally formed with the housing during injection molding. At this time, the connection structures on the upper and lower parts of the housing are bonded together through the connection holes, making the housing a whole, increasing the connection strength and tightness, and playing a better protective role for the internal components.

[0031] 11. In the data cable provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the data cable further includes a control component, which facilitates the user to operate the start, stop, and adjustment of different massage modes of the massage section. The first connector, the control component, the massage section, and the second connector are electrically connected in sequence, so that the massage section and the control component are serially connected to the main body of the data cable, without adding additional branches and destroying the overall linear structure of the data cable, facilitating storage and arrangement, and not affecting the user's use of the linear structure of the data cable itself to wind around body parts.

[0032] 12. In the data cable provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the control component includes an outer housing, a control circuit structure arranged inside the outer housing, and a control button electrically connected to the control circuit structure. A control circuit is arranged on the control circuit structure. The user can start, stop, and control the massage section through the control button, such as adjusting the vibration intensity of the massage function component to control the massage strength. The control button is intuitive, easy to use, and has strong adaptability, which can reduce misoperation, and has a simple structure and does not require complex circuit design, which can effectively reduce the volume and weight of the massage control system of the data cable.

[0033] 13. In the data cable provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the data cable further includes a detachable massage accessory. The control component is provided with an output interface, and the massage accessory is electrically connected to the control component through the output interface. The massage accessory is connected and powered through the output interface, allowing the user to use the massage accessory while using the massage section. The detachable design of the massage accessory only needs to be connected through the output interface when needed, without affecting the overall appearance structure of the data cable, and at the same time makes the massage accessory more convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0034] 14. In the data cable provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the massage accessory is one or more of a vibration massage part, a heating massage part, and an electro-pulse massage part. Different massage accessories can achieve different massage effects, and the user can choose according to their preferences.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to the first embodiment of the present utility model, a data cable 1 is provided, which includes a massage section 11 and a first connector 10 and / or a second connector 13 connected to the end of the massage section 11; the massage section 11 includes a bendable housing 110, a flexible circuit structure 111 disposed in the housing 110, and a massage function member 112. The first connector 10 is electrically connected to the second connector 13 through the flexible circuit structure 111, and the massage function member 112 is electrically connected to the first connector 10 and / or the second connector 13 through the flexible circuit structure 111.

[0057] It can be understood that the first connector 10 and the second connector 13 are used to connect to external electronic devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, etc., to transmit electrical signals and data signals.

[0058] It can be understood that the first connector 10 and the second connector 13 can be provided simultaneously, or only one of them can be provided. When only one of them is provided, the data cable 1 is single-ended input, and the first connector 10 or the second connector 13 is used to supply power and transmit data to the massage section 11.

[0059] Optionally, the first connector 10 and the second connector 13 can be the same or different. Specifically, the first connector 10 and the second connector 13 can be a USB Type-A connector, a USB Type-B connector, a USB Type-C connector, a Lightning connector, etc.

[0060] It can be understood that the massage section 11 enables the data cable 1 to have a massage function. The bendable housing 110 and the flexible circuit structure 111 enable the whole massage section 11 to be bendable, and this structure can better fit the human body curve, especially parts with complex curved surfaces such as the neck and shoulders.

[0061] It can be understood that the shape of the housing 110 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Optionally, the housing 110 can be made of materials such as rubber, plastic, and silica gel to achieve its bendable characteristics.

[0062] As an alternative implementation, the housing 110 is made of silicone material and is integrally formed by injection molding. The outer shell 120 wraps the flexible circuit structure 111 and the massage function member 112 to form a flat and elongated structure similar to a pod shape, making the housing 110 not only have the characteristics of being soft and bendable, but also being overall beautiful, thin and light, convenient for storage, and capable of fitting the massage part more closely.

[0063] It can be understood that the specific design of the flexible circuit structure 111 and the layout of the massage function member 112 are not limited in this embodiment. The flexible circuit structure 111 can be a single-sided flexible circuit structure 111. In this case, the massage function member 112 is arranged on the same side of the flexible circuit structure 111. The flexible circuit structure 111 can also be a double-sided flexible circuit structure 111. In this case, the massage function members can be dispersedly arranged on the opposite two sides of the flexible circuit structure 111.

[0064] It should be understood that this embodiment also covers any technical solutions that reasonably change or adjust the design of the flexible circuit structure 111 or the layout of the massage function member 112, as long as these changes or adjustments are intended to achieve different massage effects and do not exceed the basic concept and principle of this embodiment.

[0065] Optionally, the massage function member 112 can be a vibrator, such as a motor, which massages the body by vibration, thereby effectively relieving physical fatigue and muscle soreness. The massage function member 112 can also be a pulse generator, which adjusts the body function and relieves muscle spasms by means of electric pulses. The massage function member 112 can also be other types of devices that achieve different massage effects, such as a heat pack, a cold pack, etc.

[0066] It can be understood that the structural design of this data cable 1 integrates the massage function into one section of the data cable 1, without damaging the overall linear structure of the data cable 1, which is convenient for storage and arrangement. And the user can use the linear structure of the data cable 1 itself to wind around the body part, better fixing and fitting the massage section 11 to the part to be massaged. Especially when the user wears it around the neck, wrist and other parts with a certain curvature for massage, it greatly improves the accuracy and comfort of massage, enabling the user to obtain a better massage experience.

[0067] Furthermore, the massage function members 112 are arranged to be at least two, and are sequentially spaced along the length direction of the massage section 11.

[0068] It can be understood that arranging the massage function members 112 in multiple numbers can enhance the massage effect. Arranging them along the length direction of the massage section 11 can form a wider massage area and achieve a multi-dimensional massage effect on the massage section 11. For example, when the user winds it around the neck, shoulders and other parts, multiple massage function members 112 can massage multiple parts or acupoints simultaneously, achieving a better massage effect.

[0069] Understandably, there will be a gap H between the spaced massage function members 112 (such as Figure 2 the H shown in

[0070] . By changing the size of the gap H, the bending radian size of the massage section 11 can be adjusted, which makes the overall design of the data line 1 more flexible. Figure 3 Please further refer to Figure 3 , the massage function members 112 are arranged on the central axis A-A (such as

[0071] the A-A shown in

[0072] of the massage section 11).

[0073] Understandably, in this embodiment, multiple wires of the flexible circuit structure 111 are arranged on both sides of the central axis A-A. The wires on both sides and the massage function members 112 have a counterweight effect, so that the overall center of gravity of the massage section 11 is on its central axis A-A. When the massage section 11 fits the human body for massage, especially when massaging by generating vibration, the center of gravity of the entire data line 1 is more stable, and it is not easy to turn up due to the center of gravity deviation, reducing the distortion and entanglement of the data line 1 during use. Moreover, this layout makes the data line 1 present a symmetrical aesthetic feeling, improving the overall texture of the product.

[0074] Please further refer to Figure 4 . A massage structure is arranged on the opposite sides of the massage part 1101.

[0075] Understandably, the massage structure can provide a richer massage experience, and by arranging different massage structures on the opposite sides of the massage part 1101, two different massage effects can be achieved.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the massage structure is a convex arc structure 1102 and / or a strip-shaped groove 1103.

[0077] Understandably, the protruding arc structure 1102 can reduce the sliding and friction of the housing 110 of the massage section 11 on the skin, reduce discomfort, and improve the comfort of massage. Moreover, it reduces the dispersion of vibration energy, enabling the massage functional element 112 to act more directly and deeply on muscle tissues during operation, thereby enhancing the intensity and effect of massage. In addition, this design can also cooperate with different massage techniques and modes, such as fixed-point massage, rolling massage, etc., to provide users with a diverse massage experience.

[0078] Furthermore, grooves 1104 can be provided on the protruding arc structure 1102. These small grooves 1104 can act more directly and precisely on human acupoints or muscle tension points, thereby enhancing the massage effect. At the same time, this design can also cooperate with different massage techniques to further enhance the massage comfort of the arc structure 1102.

[0079] Understandably, the provision of the strip-shaped groove 1103 can reduce the direct contact area between the massager and the skin, reduce friction and discomfort, which helps to improve the comfort of users, so that long-term use of the massager will not cause excessive fatigue or discomfort. At the same time, the strip-shaped groove 1103 can also reduce the overall weight of the data cable 1 to a certain extent, making the massage section 11 thinner and lighter, which is convenient for users to store and carry.

[0080] Optionally, the massage structure can also be other structures that produce different massage effects, such as convex and concave points arranged in an array, a wavy structure, a spiral structure, a spherical structure, etc.

[0081] Furthermore, the data cable 1 also includes a data cable body 14. The data cable body 14 is connected to the middle parts of both ends of the massage section 11. The massage section 11 is electrically connected to the first connector 10 and the second connector 13 through the data cable body 14.

[0082] Understandably, the data cable body 14 can be made of a material that is light and has good flexibility, which is convenient for storage and carrying, and also convenient for users to wind and fix the massage section 11 using the data cable body 14. For example, the data cable body 14 can be a nylon braided data cable or a silicone data cable.

[0083] Understandably, the data cable body 14 is connected to the middle parts of both ends of the massage section 11. When connecting the first connector 10 and the second connector 13, it will not cause the center of gravity to shift. This design makes the data cable 1 more stable during use, not easily distorted or wound due to the shift of the center of gravity, which helps to reduce the wear and damage of the data cable 1 during long-term use and extends its service life.

[0084] Further, the data line body 14 is of the USB On-The-Go specification. It can be understood that in the On-The-Go protocol, a device can act as a host or a slave. When the device acts as a host, it can supply power to other USB devices. In this embodiment, the data line body 14 is of the USB On-The-Go specification, which can not only achieve bidirectional transmission of data signals and electrical signals, but also enable the data line 1 to use devices such as mobile phones and laptops as power sources to supply power to the massage section 11, greatly expanding the usage scenarios of the massage function of the data line 1 and allowing users to perform massages anytime and anywhere.

[0085] Further, the massage function components 112 are connected in parallel through the flexible circuit structure 111.

[0086] It can be understood that the parallel connection improves the reliability and stability of the device. Even if a certain massage function component 112 fails, the other massage function components 112 can still work normally, thus preventing the paralysis of the entire massage section 11, having a high fault tolerance, reducing the risk of device failure due to single-point failure, and each massage function component 112 can operate and be maintained independently, which helps to reduce the maintenance cost and extend the service life.

[0087] Please further combine Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the flexible circuit structure 111 is provided with connection holes 1110 avoiding the massage function components 112, and connection structures 1105 are oppositely arranged on the inner side of the housing 110 corresponding to the connection holes 1110, and the connection structures 1105 are connected through the connection holes 1110.

[0088] It can be understood that the housing 110 and the flexible circuit structure 111 can be more closely connected through the connection holes 1110.

[0089] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 110 is integrally formed by injection molding, formed outside the flexible circuit structure 111 and the massage function components 112, and the connection structure 1105 is integrally formed with the housing when the housing 110 is injection molded. The connection structures 1105 on the upper and lower parts of the housing 110 can be bonded together through the connection holes 1110, increasing the connection strength and tightness and playing a better role in protecting the internal components.

[0090] It can be understood that the housing 110 can also be two detachable parts through the connection structure 1105, and this design is more convenient for assembly and repair. For example, the connection structure 1105 can be set as the cooperation of bolts and nuts, or can be set as the cooperation of bayonets and slots, etc.

[0091] Further, the data line 1 further includes a control component 12, which facilitates the user to operate and control the start, stop, and massage mode of the massage section 11. The first connector 10, the control component 12, the massage section 11, and the second connector 13 are electrically connected in sequence, so that the massage section 11 and the control component 12 are serially connected to the main body of the data line 1, without adding extra branches to damage the overall linear structure of the data line 1, facilitating storage and arrangement, and not affecting the user to utilize the linear structure of the data line 1 itself to wind around body parts.

[0092] Further, the control component 12 includes a housing 120, a control circuit structure 121 disposed inside the housing 120, and a control button 122 electrically connected to the control circuit structure 121.

[0093] Understandably, a control circuit is provided on the control circuit structure 121, and the user starts, stops, and controls the massage section 11 through the control button 122, such as adjusting the vibration intensity of the massage function member 112 to control the magnitude of the massage force.

[0094] Understandably, one or more control buttons 122 can be provided. The control button 122 is intuitive, easy to use, and highly adaptable, which can reduce misoperations, and has a simple structure without the need for complex circuit design, and can effectively reduce the volume and weight of the massage control system of the data line 1.

[0095] Understandably, the massage function members 112 are connected in parallel to the flexible circuit structure 111. Therefore, one-key control can be achieved through the control circuit by the control button 122, which can simplify the operation process and enable the more convenient use of the massage function of the data line 1.

[0096] Specifically, in this embodiment, the control button 122 is set to one, and the start, stop, and three - gear massage intensity adjustment of the massage section 11 are realized through the design of the control circuit. Press the control button 122 once to start the massage function of the massage section 11 and adjust the massage intensity of the massage function member 112 to the first gear; press the control button 122 again to adjust the massage intensity of the massage function member 112 to the second gear; press the control button 122 again to adjust the massage intensity of the massage function member 112 to the third gear; press the control button 122 again to turn off the massage function of the massage section 11. At the same time, long - pressing the control button 122 can also turn off the massage function of the massage section 11.

[0097] Understandably, different control methods can be realized through different control circuit designs, such as massage mode adjustment, timing adjustment, etc.

[0098] Further, the first connector 10, the massage section 11, the control component 12, and the second connector 13 of the data line 1, as well as the data line body 14 support the same fast charging protocol, such as the USB-PD (USB Power Delivery) protocol. When the data line 1 charges an external device, it can improve the charging power and shorten the charging time. At the same time, it can also support different voltage and current requirements of the massage section 11 and the control component 12.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the second embodiment of the present utility model provides another data line 2, which is different from the above data line 1 in that:

[0100] The massage part 1101 is provided with a cavity 21 for accommodating the massage function member 112, and a convex platform 210 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity 21.

[0101] It can be understood that the convex platform 210 can better fix the massage function member 112 in the cavity 21. When the massage function member 112 vibrates and massages, it will not generate offset, and can more effectively drive the massage part 1101 to vibrate together, so as to better cooperate with the massage structure and obtain a better massage experience.

[0102] It can be understood that when the massage function member 112 is a vibrator, the shape of the massage part 1101 can be set according to the shape of the specific massage function member 112, so as to achieve a tight wrapping of the massage function member 112. When the massage function member 112 vibrates, the tight wrapping can reduce the influence of air damping and other external factors on the vibration, and make the vibration energy more effectively transmitted to the target object, that is, the massage function member 112 can better drive the massage structure to vibrate and reduce energy loss.

[0103] Specifically, in this embodiment, the massage structure on one side of the massage part 1101 of the data line 2 is set as a smooth protrusion on the outside. A cavity 21 matching the massage function member is provided inside the protrusion. A circular convex platform 210 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity 21. The circular convex platform 210 is provided with a notch corresponding to the connection pins of the massage function member 112. The main body part of the massage function member is fixed in the cavity 21 through the circular convex platform 210, and the connection pins of the massage function member 112 are exposed from the notch and connected to the flexible circuit structure.

[0104] It can be understood that when the massage function member 112 is a vibrator, the shell part between the massage parts 1101 can be designed to be as thin and light as possible, and the width can also be further narrowed, which can reduce the attenuation of vibration, avoid the mutual influence between the massage function members 112, and at the same time can reduce the overall weight of the data line 2.

[0105] Please continue to refer to Figure 8 andFigure 9 An elastic structure 22 is provided on the peripheral side of the massage structure on at least one side of the data line 2.

[0106] Understandably, when the massage function member 112 is a vibrator, the elastic structure 22 can increase the activity range of the massage function member 112 when generating vibration, increase the vibration space, and at the same time can concentrate the vibration effect of the massage function member 112 on the massage structure, reducing the attenuation caused by the vibration being transmitted to the rest of the housing 110, so that a better vibration massage experience can be obtained.

[0107] Optionally, the elastic structure 22 includes a first annular groove 220, an annular protrusion 221, and a second annular groove 222 connected in sequence.

[0108] Understandably, the elastic structure 22 forms a structure similar to a "bow" through the first annular groove 220, the annular protrusion 221, and the second annular groove 222 connected in sequence, which can effectively increase the vibration range of the massage function member 112 in all directions and obtain a better vibration massage effect.

[0109] Understandably, the remaining structures of the data line 2 are the same as those of the data line 1 and have the same beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0110] Please refer to Figure 10 , the third embodiment of the present invention provides another data line 3, which is different from the above data line 1 and data line 2 in that:

[0111] The data line 3 further includes a detachable massage accessory 31, and the control component 12 is provided with an output interface 123, and the massage accessory 31 is electrically connected to the control component 12 through the output interface 123.

[0112] Understandably, the massage accessory 31 is provided with a connector matching the output interface 123 and is powered through the connector and the output interface 123. This design allows the user to use the massage accessory 31 while massaging through the massage section 11. The detachable design of the massage accessory 31 only needs to be connected and powered through the output interface 123 when needed, which does not affect the overall appearance structure of the data line 1, and at the same time makes the massage accessory 31 more convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0113] Furthermore, the massage accessory 31 is one or more of a vibration massage member, a heating massage member, and an electro-pulse massage member.

[0114] Understandably, different massage accessories 31 can achieve different massage effects, and the user can choose according to their preferences, and choose the massage accessory 31 to massage other parts while massaging through the massage section 11.

[0115] Understandably, when the massage accessory 31 is set as multiple different massage parts, multiple massage accessories 31 can be further arranged in parallel or in series. This design can enhance the flexibility of the massage accessory 31 for massage, provide a richer massage experience for users, and at the same time facilitate centralized control and simplify the user's operation process.

[0116] Understandably, the massage accessory 31 is detachably arranged, allowing its appearance and style design to be more flexible. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shape and structure of the massage accessory 31 are not specifically limited. Specific massage accessories 31 can be set for body parts that are prone to fatigue. For example, the massage accessory 31 is a hot compress eye mask, etc.

[0117] Understandably, the remaining structure of the data cable 3 is the same as that of the data cable 1 or the data cable 2 and has the same beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated here.

[0118] Compared with the prior art, the data cable provided by the present utility model has the following advantages:

[0119] 1. The data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model includes a massage section and a first connector and / or a second connector connected to the end of the massage section; the massage section includes a bendable housing, a flexible circuit structure arranged in the housing, and a massage function part. The first connector is electrically connected to the second connector through the flexible circuit structure, and the massage function part is electrically connected to the first connector and / or the second connector through the flexible circuit structure. This data cable can not only realize functions such as data transmission and device charging, but also realize a massage function. The bendable housing and the flexible circuit structure enable the whole massage section to be bendable, and this structure can better fit the human body curve, especially parts with complex curved surfaces such as the neck and shoulders. This data cable integrates the massage function into the middle position between the first connector and the second connector of the data cable, does not damage the overall linear structure of the data cable, is convenient for storage and arrangement, and users can use the linear structure of the data cable itself to wind around body parts to better fix and fit the massage section on the part to be massaged, further improving the accuracy and comfort of the massage.

[0120] 2. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the massage function parts are set to at least 2 and are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the massage section in sequence. Setting multiple massage function parts can enhance the massage effect. Arranging them in the length direction of the massage section can form a wider massage area and achieve a multi-dimensional massage effect on the massage section. Moreover, there will be gaps between the massage function parts arranged at intervals. By changing the size of the gaps, the bending radian size of the massage section can be adjusted, making the overall design of the data cable more flexible.

[0121] 3. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the massage function member is arranged on the central axis of the massage section, so that the overall center of gravity of the massage section is on its central axis. When the massage section fits the human body for massage, especially when massaging by generating vibration, the center of gravity of the entire data cable is more stable and is not easily turned up due to the offset of the center of gravity, which can reduce the twisting and winding of the data cable during use. Moreover, this layout makes the data cable present a symmetrical aesthetic feeling and improves the overall texture of the product.

[0122] 4. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the housing is provided with a flexible massage part corresponding to the massage function member. The massage part is arranged corresponding to the massage function member, which can ensure less attenuation of the massage intensity and ensure the massage effect. The flexible massage part can reduce the pressure of the massage section on the skin, avoid discomfort or pain, and at the same time can make the distribution of the massage force more uniform, improving the user experience. Massage structures are arranged on the opposite sides of the massage part. The massage structures on both sides can provide a richer massage experience, and different massage effects can be achieved by arranging different massage structures on both sides.

[0123] 5. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the massage part is provided with a cavity for accommodating the massage function member, and a boss is arranged on the inner wall of the cavity. The boss can better fix the massage function member in the cavity. When the massage function member vibrates for massage, it can better drive the massage part to vibrate together, and then better cooperate with the massage structure to obtain a better massage experience.

[0124] 6. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, an elastic structure is arranged on the periphery of at least one side of the massage structure. The elastic structure increases the movement range of the massage function member when generating vibration, increases the vibration space, and at the same time can concentrate the vibration effect of the massage function member on the massage structure, reducing the attenuation caused by the vibration transmitted to the rest of the housing.

[0125] 7. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the elastic structure includes a first annular groove, an annular protrusion, and a second annular groove connected in sequence. The elastic structure forms a structure similar to a "bow". When the massage function member generates vibration for massage, this design can effectively increase the vibration range of the massage function member in all directions, obtain a better vibration massage effect, and at the same time can effectively prevent the vibration from spreading to other parts.

[0126] 8. The data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model further includes a data cable body, which is connected to the middle parts of both ends of the massage section. The massage section is electrically connected to the first connector and the second connector through the data cable body. When the data cable body is connected to the middle parts of both ends of the massage section and connects the first connector and the second connector, it will not cause the center of gravity to shift. This design makes the data cable more stable during use and is not easily distorted or wound due to the shift of the center of gravity. The design of the center of gravity balance helps to reduce the wear and damage of the data cable during long-term use and extends its service life.

[0127] 9. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the massage function components are connected in parallel through a flexible circuit structure, which improves the reliability and stability of the device. Even if a certain massage function component fails, other massage function components can still work normally, thus preventing the paralysis of the entire massage section, having a high fault tolerance, and reducing the risk of the device failing due to a single-point failure. Each massage function component can operate and be maintained independently, which helps to reduce the maintenance cost and extend the service life. In addition, the parallel design can achieve unified control and simplify the operation of the user.

[0128] 10. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the flexible circuit structure is provided with connection holes avoiding the massage function components, and connection structures are oppositely arranged on the inner side of the shell corresponding to the connection holes, and the connection structures are connected through the connection holes. The outer shell and the flexible circuit structure can be more tightly and firmly connected through the connection holes. The connection structures can be integrally formed with the shell during injection molding. At this time, the connection structures on the upper and lower parts of the shell are bonded together through the connection holes, making the shell a whole, increasing the strength and tightness of the connection, and playing a better protective role for the internal components.

[0129] 11. In the data cable provided in the embodiment of the present utility model, the data cable further includes a control component, which facilitates the user to operate the start, stop and adjustment of different massage modes of the massage section. The first connector, the control component, the massage section and the second connector are electrically connected in sequence, so that the massage section and the control component are serially connected to the data cable main body, without adding additional branches and destroying the overall linear structure of the data cable, which is convenient for storage and arrangement, and does not affect the user to use the linear structure of the data cable itself to wind around the body part.
