[0042] The adapter part 2 is connected to the plug part 1 and is hollow inside. In the Z direction, the adapter part 2 is provided with an adapter part through hole 11 which passes through from top to bottom. Specifically, in this embodiment, the end of the plug part 1 can be inserted into the adapter part 2 along the X direction and connected by bonding or the like.

[0043] The housing 3 has two opening ends in the X direction and has an internal accommodation space 31. At the same time, the housing 3 is provided with a housing through hole 32 corresponding to the position of the adapter through hole 11;

[0044] A button 8 is mounted on the side of the adapter 2 in the Y direction, and the adapter 2 and the button 8 are all accommodated in the internal accommodation space 31 of the housing 3;

[0045] A connecting rod 5, one end of which extends into the adapter 2 and is connected to the button 8, and the other end is accommodated in the notch 6 and is freely suspended;

[0046] The block 7 is connected to the outer wall surface of one end of the connecting rod 5 that is freely suspended, and partially / entirely extends to the outside of the plug part 1; in this embodiment, the connecting rod 5 and the block 7 can be integrally formed, and both are sheet-like structures, and can be made of metal or plastic, and the connecting rod 5 can be bent and deformed; the plug part 1 and the block 7 are both located outside the adapter part 2, and are also located outside the shell 3;

[0047] A bayonet 10, which is provided in a port 13 of an electronic device plugged into the plug portion 1 and can be engaged with the card block 7;

[0048] and a locking device 4, which passes through the housing through hole 32 and the adapter through hole 11 to lock the adapter 2 and the housing 3;

[0049] In this embodiment, the length direction, width direction and height direction (ie, thickness direction) of the adapter portion 2 correspond to the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction;

[0050] When in use, the plug part 1 is plugged into the electronic device port 13, and at the same time, the card block 7 is engaged with the card slot 10 on the electronic device port 13, so as to fix the plug part 1, and at this time, the button 8 is located inside the housing 3 and cannot be pressed, so that the position of the plug part 1 and the electronic device port can be firmly fixed by the engagement of the card block 7 with the card slot 10, preventing the plug part 1 from being separated from the electronic device port 13, thereby avoiding data transmission interruption;

[0051] When it is necessary to separate the plug head 1 and the electronic device port 13, it is necessary to first release the locking of the adapter part 2 and the housing 3 by the locking device 4, so that the adapter part 2 can be disengaged from the housing 3, further exposing the button 8. Further, by pressing the button 8 with an external force, the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 move synchronously into the plug head 1, so that the clamping block 7 disengages from the bayonet 10 of the electronic device port 13, and then the plug head 1 can be separated from the electronic device port 13;

[0052] After releasing the pressing of the button 8, the button 8 automatically resets to drive the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 to move synchronously to the outside of the plug head 1, so that the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 both return to their initial positions.

[0053] Further, a notch 6 is provided on each of the two sides of the plug head 1 in the Y direction. Correspondingly, there are also two groups of connecting rods 5, clamping blocks 7, and buttons 8. By pressing each button 8, a connecting rod 5 and a clamping block 7 are driven to move synchronously into the plug head 1.

[0054] Thus, the USB connector assembly in this embodiment has a simple structural design. It can achieve a firm connection with the electronic device port 13 through the clamping block 7, and at the same time, the button 8 is protected by the housing 3. Before the user can release the locking of the adapter part 2 and the housing 3 by the locking device 4, the plug head 1 and the electronic device port 13 cannot be separated, so data transmission interruption can be avoided.

[0055] Embodiment 2:

[0056] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is only that, as Figures 6 - 7 shown, the button 8 includes:

[0057] A pressing part 81, which is installed on the side surface of the adapter part 2 in the Y direction, and a part of the pressing part 81 protrudes from the adapter part 2 for easy pressing; at the same time, one end of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the pressing part 81; preferably, as Figure 7 shown, a protrusion 811 is formed on the outer surface of the pressing part 81 to increase the friction force and facilitate the user's pressing operation;

[0058] And a mounting rod 82, which is located inside the adapter part 2, and one end is connected to the pressing part 81, and the other end is connected to the inner wall surface of the adapter part 2 by means of screw connection, bolt connection, bonding, welding, etc.; the mounting rod 82 is a sheet-like structure that can be bent and deformed, and is made of metal or plastic.

[0059] As Figure 8 shown, move the plug head 1 in the direction of the electronic device port 13 (i.e., along Figure 8In the direction indicated by the solid arrow in part (a) below, when the clamping block 7 contacts the inner wall surface of the electronic device port 13, the connecting rod 5 bends under the extrusion of the inner wall surface of the electronic device port 13 until the clamping block 7 moves to be completely received in the bayonet 10. After that, the extrusion of the inner wall surface of the electronic device port 13 on the connecting rod 5 is released, the connecting rod 5 returns to its original state, and the whole clamping block 7 is clamped in the buckle 10 (as shown in part (b) below), so as to realize the clamping fit between the plug head 1 and the electronic device port 13. At this time, the button 8 is located inside the housing 3 and the button 8 cannot be pressed; Figure 8 as shown in part (b) below, so as to realize the clamping fit between the plug head 1 and the electronic device port 13. At this time, the button 8 is located inside the housing 3 and the button 8 cannot be pressed;

[0060] When it is necessary to separate the plug head 1 and the electronic device port 13, it is necessary to first release the locking of the adapter part 2 and the housing 3 by the locking device 4, so that the adapter part 2 can be taken out of the housing 3, further exposing the button 8. Further, as shown in part (c) below, by pressing with an external force (i.e., in the direction indicated by the solid arrow in part (c) below) on the pressing part 81, the mounting rod 82 is bent and deformed, so as to drive the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 to move synchronously towards the inside of the plug head 1, so that the clamping block 7 is disengaged from the bayonet 10 of the electronic device port 13; Figure 8 as shown in part (c) below, by pressing with an external force (i.e., in the direction indicated by the solid arrow in part (c) below) on the pressing part 81, the mounting rod 82 is bent and deformed, so as to drive the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 to move synchronously towards the inside of the plug head 1, so that the clamping block 7 is disengaged from the bayonet 10 of the electronic device port 13; Figure 8 as shown in part (c) below, by pressing with an external force (i.e., in the direction indicated by the solid arrow in part (c) below) on the pressing part 81, the mounting rod 82 is bent and deformed, so as to drive the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 to move synchronously towards the inside of the plug head 1, so that the clamping block 7 is disengaged from the bayonet 10 of the electronic device port 13;

[0061] as Figure 8 shown in part (d) below, pulling the adapter part 2 in the direction away from the electronic device port 13 (i.e., in the direction indicated by the solid arrow in part (d) below) until the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 are completely separated from the electronic device port 13, so that the plug head 1 can be completely separated from the electronic device port 13. At this time, after releasing the pressing on the pressing part 81, the mounting rod 82 automatically resets, so as to drive the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 to move synchronously towards the outside of the plug head 1, so that the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 both return to their initial positions. Figure 8 as shown in part (d) below, pulling the adapter part 2 in the direction away from the electronic device port 13 (i.e., in the direction indicated by the solid arrow in part (d) below) until the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 are completely separated from the electronic device port 13, so that the plug head 1 can be completely separated from the electronic device port 13. At this time, after releasing the pressing on the pressing part 81, the mounting rod 82 automatically resets, so as to drive the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 to move synchronously towards the outside of the plug head 1, so that the connecting rod 5 and the clamping block 7 both return to their initial positions.

[0062] Embodiment 3:

[0063] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 or 2 is only that, as shown below, a notch 33 is formed in the lower part of the housing 3 to form a first receiving part 34 and a second receiving part 35 in the lower part of the housing 3. When the adapter part 2 and the button 8 are all received in the internal receiving space 31 of the housing 3, the adapter part 2 can be supported by the first receiving part 34 and the second receiving part 35; at the same time, in this embodiment, the whole housing 3 is made of a heat-conducting metal material to dissipate the heat generated by the adapter part 2 when the USB joint assembly is working. At the same time, the notch 33 in the lower part can also further enhance the heat exchange between the internal receiving space 31 and the external environment and improve the heat dissipation effect. Figure 9 as shown below, a notch 33 is formed in the lower part of the housing 3 to form a first receiving part 34 and a second receiving part 35 in the lower part of the housing 3. When the adapter part 2 and the button 8 are all received in the internal receiving space 31 of the housing 3, the adapter part 2 can be supported by the first receiving part 34 and the second receiving part 35; at the same time, in this embodiment, the whole housing 3 is made of a heat-conducting metal material to dissipate the heat generated by the adapter part 2 when the USB joint assembly is working. At the same time, the notch 33 in the lower part can also further enhance the heat exchange between the internal receiving space 31 and the external environment and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0064] Further, as Figure 4As shown, the card block 7 in this embodiment is a wedge-shaped structure as a whole, and the locking device 4 can be a mechanical lock or a password lock. Therefore, personnel without operating authority cannot unlock the locking device 4 before knowing the password of the password lock or having the key of the mechanical lock, and thus cannot press the button 8, thereby preventing personnel without operating authority from plugging and unplugging the USB data cable at will.

[0065] In addition, in this embodiment, the height of the connecting rod 5 is smaller than the height of the slot 6, and the height of the block 7 is smaller than the height of the connecting rod 5, so the connecting rod 5 and the block 7 can move through the slot 6 without hindrance, and the movement will not be hindered due to contact with the slot 6.

[0066] Embodiment 4:

[0067] This embodiment provides a USB data cable, such as Figures 2 - 3 As shown, it includes the USB connector assembly described in Example 1 or 2 and a data transmission line 9, and one end of the data transmission line 9 extends into the adapter part 2 and is electrically connected to the plug part 1, and the other end extends to the outside of the shell 3.

[0068] In summary, the USB connector assembly in the present application has a simple structural design and is easy to use. It can achieve a firm connection with the electronic device port through the card block, and the button is protected by the shell. Before the user is unable to release the lock of the adapter and the shell by the locking device, the plug part and the electronic device port cannot be separated, thereby avoiding data transmission interruption;

[0069] At the same time, personnel without operating authority cannot unlock the locking device and press the button before they know the password of the password lock or have the key of the mechanical lock, thereby preventing personnel without operating authority from arbitrarily plugging and unplugging the USB data cable and causing safety accidents.

[0070] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
