[0018] The following further elaborates and explains the present utility model in combination with specific embodiments and the drawings in the specification:

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, A new type of USB flash drive, including a housing main body 10. One end of the housing main body 10 is provided with a through hole, and a first connector 30 is inserted at the through hole. A storage main board 20 is arranged inside the housing main body 10. A first magnet 21 is provided on one side of the storage main board 20 close to the first connector 30. A metal connecting column 22 is provided on one side of the first magnet 21 close to the first connector 30. A connecting hole 31 is opened at one end of the first connector 30 close to the first magnet 21. The metal connecting column 22 is movably inserted and matched with the connecting hole 31, and the first connector 30 is electrically connected to the storage main board 20 through the metal connecting column 22. A second magnet 32 is embedded at one end of the first connector 30 close to the first magnet 21, and the second magnet 32 is magnetically attracted and matched with the first magnet 21.

[0020] In the above solution, the first connector 30 is inserted at the through hole of the housing main body 10. The cooperation between the connecting hole 31 and the metal connecting column 22 plays a positioning role, and at the same time realizes the electrical connection between the first connector 30 and the storage main board 20. Moreover, the first connector 30 is magnetically attracted and matched with the first magnet 21 through the second magnet 32 inside, so the disassembly and installation are convenient, which can protect the interfaces of precious products such as computers and mobile phones and other electronic components. In this way, it is not easy to damage precious electronic products, and it is convenient to maintain and replace the first connector 30 when it is damaged, saving costs. In addition, when the USB flash drive falls to the ground as a whole, the housing main body 10 and the first connector 30 can be automatically separated, reducing the force and playing a certain protective role.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , It further includes an inner shell bracket 40. The inner shell bracket 40 is arranged inside the housing main body 10. The inner shell bracket 40 is matched with the inner cavity of the housing main body 10, and the storage main board 20 is arranged inside the inner shell bracket 40. Specifically, one end of the inner shell bracket 40 corresponding to the through hole is open, and the peripheral wall of the first magnet 21 is matched with the inner peripheral wall of the open end of the inner shell bracket 40.

[0022] In the above solution, the inner shell bracket 40 is used to install and fix the storage main board 20 and can play a mechanical protection role to resist external impacts. Preferably, the shape of the inner shell bracket 40 is matched with the inner cavity of the housing main body 10, and the peripheral wall of the first magnet 21 is matched with the peripheral wall of the open end of the inner shell bracket 40, improving the stability of the overall installation structure. In this embodiment, the inner shell bracket 40 includes an upper bracket and a lower bracket which are symmetrically arranged up and down. The upper bracket and the lower bracket are connected to form a frame structure.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 , The number of the second magnets 32 is two, and the two second magnets 32 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the connecting hole 31.

[0024] In the above solution, the second magnets 32 are embedded on both sides of the connecting hole 31 to ensure stable magnetic attraction between the first connector 30 and the first magnet 21 and prevent affecting the connection.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , on both sides of the through hole corresponding to the inner part of the housing main body 10, rotating shafts 50 are fixedly provided. A baffle 51 is provided on the rotating shaft 50. One end of the baffle 51 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 50. The baffle 51 is used to block the through hole. A torsion spring 52 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the rotating shaft 50. The output end of the torsion spring 52 abuts against the inner side wall of the baffle 51.

[0026] In the above solution, the torsion spring 52 always applies a force to the baffle 51 to rotate outward from the housing main body 10. After the first connector 30 is detached, the restriction on the baffle 51 is released. Under the action of the restoring force of the torsion spring 52 itself, the baffle 51 is driven to rotate outward from the housing main body 10. The through hole is blocked by the upper and lower baffles 51 to prevent foreign objects from entering, playing a protective role for the components inside the housing main body 10. Specifically, the shape of the upper and lower baffles 51 after cooperation matches the through hole.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 , a second connector 60 is inserted into one end of the housing main body 10 away from the first connector 30. The second connector 60 is electrically connected to the storage main board 20.

[0028] In the above solution, by adding the second connector 60, more connection options are provided for use on different devices or interfaces. Two devices can also be connected simultaneously to achieve fast data transmission and sharing. Specifically, the first connector 30 is a Type-C connector, and the second connector 60 is a USB connector.

[0029] The present utility model provides a new type of USB flash drive. The first connector is inserted into the through hole of the housing main body. The cooperation between the connection hole and the metal connection column plays a positioning role, and at the same time realizes the electrical connection between the first connector and the storage main board. Moreover, the first connector is magnetically coupled with the first magnet through the second magnet inside, and the disassembly and installation are convenient to protect the interfaces of precious products such as computers and mobile phones. In this way, it is not easy to damage precious electronic products, and it is convenient to maintain and replace the first connector when damaged, saving costs. In addition, when the USB flash drive as a whole drops to the ground, the housing main body and the first connector can be automatically separated to reduce the force, which can play a certain protective role.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model, rather than limiting the protection scope of the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present utility model can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present utility model.
