Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of data transmission, in particular to a data cable. Background Art

[0002] The data cable is the main medium for smart devices to achieve data transmission and power transmission with external devices. The data cable has become an extremely important transmission tool in electronic devices. However, in traditional data cables, the connection between the connector and the end of the wire is prone to damage, and problems such as shaking, deformation, bending, and fracture are likely to occur at the connector at the end of the wire, affecting the normal operation and service life of the connector.

[0003] The above information disclosed in the background art of the utility model is only used to understand the background of the concept of the utility model and may include information that does not constitute the prior art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a data cable for the above problems.

[0005] A data cable includes:

[0006] A wire; and

[0007] An end component, the end component includes:

[0008] A housing provided at the end of the wire, and an installation opening is provided at one end of the housing away from the wire;

[0009] A reinforcement cover covering the installation opening, and at least part of the reinforcement cover is embedded in the housing. A through hole is provided on the end face of the reinforcement cover, and a limiting groove is provided in the part of the reinforcement cover embedded in the housing;

[0010] A connector, one end of the connector extends into the housing and is electrically connected to the wire, and the other end of the connector passes through the reinforcement cover through the through hole; and

[0011] An adhesive layer is injection-molded in the housing and the limiting groove, and fixedly wraps one end of the connector extending into the housing.

[0012] The above data cable of the utility model can at least achieve the following beneficial effects: The connector passes through the end face of the reinforcement cover through the through hole, and the hole wall of the through hole can fix the connector. The part of the reinforcement cover embedded into the housing from the installation opening is provided with a limiting groove. When injecting the plastic layer into the housing, part of the glue layer also extends into the limiting groove of the reinforcement cover. After the glue layer is cured, it is fixed to the housing and the reinforcement cover, and the end of the connector extending into the housing is also wrapped and fixed by the cured glue layer. A part of the glue layer extends into the limiting groove and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove, which can firmly hold the reinforcement cover and prevent the reinforcement cover and the connector from coming out of the installation opening, thereby improving the connection reliability of the entire end assembly as a whole and reducing the risk of problems such as shaking, deformation, bending, and fracture of the connector.

[0013] In one embodiment, the reinforcement cover includes a cover plate and a cover edge connected to the cover plate. The cover plate covers the installation opening and the through hole is provided on the cover plate. The connector passes through the cover plate through the through hole. The cover edge is embedded into the housing and the limiting groove is provided on the side circumference of the cover edge. Since the limiting groove is provided on the side circumference of the cover edge, the glue layer extending into the limiting groove is equivalent to hooking the groove wall of the limiting groove in the axial direction of the wire after curing, thereby restricting the movement of the entire reinforcement cover and further improving the connection reliability between the reinforcement cover and the housing, and reducing the possibility of loosening and coming out of the reinforcement cover and the connector restricted by the reinforcement cover at the installation opening of the housing.

[0014] In one embodiment, the number of the limiting grooves is set to be multiple, and the multiple limiting grooves are spaced along the circumferential direction of the cover edge. The number of the limiting grooves increases and they are spaced along the circumferential direction of the cover edge. The cured glue layer can be fixed in each limiting groove, so that the cover edge can be fixed from multiple angles and directions, further improving the firmness of the connection between the entire reinforcement cover and the connector restricted by the reinforcement cover and the housing.

[0015] In one embodiment, the limiting groove penetrates the outer circumferential surface and the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge. In other words, this is equivalent to the limiting groove being provided through in the thickness direction of the cover edge. The deeper the limiting groove, the more glue layer enters it, and the better the abutting and limiting effect of the cured glue layer in the limiting groove against the groove wall of the limiting groove, thereby better improving the fixing effect on the connector restricted by the reinforcement cover.

[0016] In one embodiment, a clamping rib is convexly provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cover edge, and the clamping rib is clamped to the edge of the installation opening. Such a structural setting can ensure that the reinforcement cover is located at the edge of the installation opening of the housing and prevent the reinforcement cover and the connector restricted by the reinforcement cover from sinking in.

[0017] In one embodiment, the clamping rib extends in a circumferential direction along the cover edge in a ring shape. The ring-shaped clamping rib can be clamped to the entire edge of the mounting opening of the housing, having a better limiting and fixing effect.

[0018] In one embodiment, a limiting rib protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge, and the limiting rib abuts against the side surface of the joint. The limiting rib on the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge abuts inward against the side surface of the joint, which can, together with the cured adhesive layer, have a better fixing effect on the joint. Moreover, the limiting rib protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge, which is equivalent to the limiting rib being inserted into the adhesive layer, that is, the limiting rib is fixedly wrapped by the adhesive layer, and can have a better fixing effect on the reinforcement cover.

[0019] In one embodiment, the joint includes a first joint part and a second joint part connected to the first joint part. The first joint part passes through the through hole and is disposed on the cover plate, and the second joint part is located inside the housing and the outer contour of the cross section of the second joint part is larger than the inner contour of the cross section of the through hole. Such a structural arrangement facilitates assembly on the one hand. The reinforcement cover can be sleeved from the first joint part through the through hole. Since the size of the second joint part is larger, the through hole of the reinforcement cover will be blocked by the second joint part. On the other hand, it can also play a limiting role on the second joint part by using the cover plate of the reinforcement cover after the data cable is manufactured, and it has a more reliable fixing effect on the joint in combination with the cured adhesive layer.

[0020] In one embodiment, the outer contour of the cross section of the first joint part is adapted to the inner contour of the cross section of the through hole. Such a structural arrangement can make the first joint part be abutted by the hole wall of the through hole, playing a limiting effect.

[0021] In one embodiment, the surface of the second joint part facing the first joint part abuts against the cover plate.

[0022] In one embodiment, the end assembly further includes a circuit board disposed inside the housing. The circuit board is fixed to one end of the joint, and the joint is electrically connected to the wire through the circuit board, and the circuit board and one end of the joint are fixedly wrapped in the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can play a role in waterproofing and shockproofing. When the joint is subjected to an external force or water seeps in, the adhesive layer can reduce the influence degree of the external force on the joint and the circuit board fixed to the joint, and the adhesive layer can also block the erosion of liquids such as water on the circuit board.

[0023] In one embodiment, the joint is any one of a Type-C joint, a USB joint, a Lighting joint, an HDMI joint, a VGA joint, a DVI joint, and a DisplayPort joint.

[0024] In one embodiment, the wire has a plurality of ends, and each end is provided with one of the end assemblies. The data cable can be a multi-functional data cable. Taking the wire having four ends as an example, it is a three-in-one data cable, also known as a one-to-three data cable; similarly, the data cable can also be a one-to-one data cable.

[0042] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more apparent and understandable, the following will describe the detailed implementation manners of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the present utility model provides a data cable 10, which includes a wire 11 and an end component 12. It should be noted that the present utility model aims to illustrate that the design of the end component of the present utility model can be referred to on at least one end of the wire of the data cable.

[0044] In some embodiments, the wire 11 has two ends and each end is provided with one of the end components 12. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 13 , the data cable 10 can be a one-to-one data cable 10; in other embodiments, the wire 11 has four ends and each end is provided with one of the end components 12. For example, in the embodiment shown in Figure 14 , the data cable 10 can be a three-in-one data cable 10, also known as a one-to-three data cable 10; this is only for explanatory examples and does not indicate or imply that the number of ends of the data cable 10 must be like this.

[0045] Specifically, the end component 12 includes a housing 100, a reinforcement cover 200, a connector 300, and an adhesive layer 400. Among them, the connector 300 can be any one of a Type-C connector, a USB connector, a Lighting connector, an HDMI connector, a VGA connector, a DVI connector, and a DisplayPort connector. For example, in the embodiment as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the connector 300 at one end of the wire 11 is a Lighting connector. Another example is that in the embodiment as shown in Figure 9 , the connector 300 at one end of the wire 11 is a USB connector.

[0046] More specifically, as shown in Figure 3 , the housing 100 is provided at the end of the wire 11, and an installation opening 110 is formed at one end of the housing 100 away from the wire 11. As shown in Figure 4 , the reinforcement cover 200 is covered on the installation opening 110, a through hole 211 is formed on the end face of the reinforcement cover 200, one end of the connector 300 extends into the housing 100 and is electrically connected to the wire 11, and the other end of the connector 300 passes through the through hole 211 and is arranged in the reinforcement cover 200 and is used for electrically connecting to an electronic device. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , at least a part of the reinforcement cover 200 is embedded in the housing 100, and a limiting groove 221 is formed in the part of the reinforcement cover 200 embedded in the housing 100. The adhesive layer 400 is injection-molded in the housing 100 and the limiting groove 221, and fixedly wraps one end of the connector 300 extending into the housing 100 to realize the fixation of the housing 100, the reinforcement cover 200, and the connector 300.

[0047] The above data cable can at least achieve the following beneficial effects: The connector 300 passes through the end face of the reinforcement cover 200 through the through hole 211, and the hole wall of the through hole 211 can play a fixing effect on the connector 300. The part of the reinforcement cover 200 embedded into the housing 100 from the installation opening 110 is provided with a limiting groove 221. When injecting the adhesive layer 400 into the housing 100, a part of the adhesive layer 400 also extends into the limiting groove 221 of the reinforcement cover 200. After the adhesive layer 400 is cured, it is fixed to the housing 100 and the reinforcement cover 200, and one end of the connector 300 extending into the housing 100 is also wrapped and fixed by the cured adhesive layer 400. A part of the adhesive layer 400 extends into the limiting groove 221 and abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 221, which can firmly clamp the reinforcement cover 200 and prevent the reinforcement cover 200 and the connector 300 from coming out of the installation opening, thereby improving the connection reliability of the entire end component 12 as a whole and being beneficial to reducing the risks of problems such as shaking, deformation, bending, and fracture of the connector 300.

[0048] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the reinforcement cover 200 includes a cover plate 210 and a cover edge 220 connected to the cover plate 210, the cover plate 210 is covered on the installation opening 110 and the through hole 211 is opened on the cover plate 210, the joint 300 is passed through the cover plate 210 through the through hole 211, at least part of the cross-sectional outer contour of the joint 300 is adapted to the cross-sectional inner contour of the through hole 211, the cover edge 220 is embedded in the shell 100 and the limiting groove 221 is opened on the side circumference of the cover edge 220. The limiting groove 221 is opened on the side surface of the cover edge 220. After the glue layer 400 extending into the limiting groove 221 is cured, it is equivalent to hooking the groove wall of the limiting groove 221 in the axial direction of the wire 11, thereby limiting the movement of the entire reinforcement cover 200, further improving the connection reliability between the reinforcement cover 200 and the shell 100, and reducing the possibility of loosening and falling out of the reinforcement cover 200 and the connector 300 restricted by the reinforcement cover 200 at the installation port 110 of the shell 100.

[0049] Specifically, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the number of the limiting grooves 221 is set to multiple, and the multiple limiting grooves 221 are spaced apart along the circumference of the cover edge 220. As the number of limiting grooves 221 increases and they are spaced apart along the circumference of the cover edge 220, a cured adhesive layer 400 can be fixed in each limiting groove 221, so that the cover edge 220 can be fixed from multiple angles and directions, further improving the firmness of the connection between the entire reinforcement cover 200 and the joint 300 restricted by the reinforcement cover 200 and the housing 100.

[0050] More specifically, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting groove 221 passes through the outer and inner circumferential surfaces of the cover edge 220. In other words, this is equivalent to the limiting groove 221 being provided through the thickness direction of the cover edge 220. The deeper the limiting groove 221, the more adhesive layer 400 enters, and the better the abutment and limiting effect between the cured adhesive layer 400 in the limiting groove 221 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 221, thereby better improving the fixing effect of the joint 300 constrained by the reinforcement cover 200.

[0051] Furthermore, if Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in some of the embodiments, a clamping rib 223 protrudes from the outer circumferential surface of the cover edge 220, and the clamping rib 223 is clamped to the edge of the mounting opening 110. Such a structural arrangement can ensure that the reinforcement cover 200 is located at the edge of the mounting opening 110 of the housing 100, preventing the reinforcement cover 200 and the joint 300 restricted by the reinforcement cover 200 from sinking inwards.

[0052] Furthermore, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, in some of the embodiments, the clamping rib 223 extends in a ring shape along the circumferential direction of the cover edge 220. The ring-shaped clamping rib 223 can be clamped to the entire edge of the mounting opening 110 of the housing 100, having a better limiting and fixing effect.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in some of the embodiments, a limiting rib 222 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge 220, and the limiting rib 222 abuts against the side surface of the joint 300. The limiting rib 222 on the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge 220 abuts inwards against the side surface of the joint 300, which can, together with the cured adhesive layer 400, have a better fixing effect on the joint 300. Moreover, the limiting rib 222 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge 220, which is equivalent to the limiting rib 222 being inserted into the adhesive layer 400, that is, the limiting rib 222 is fixedly wrapped by the adhesive layer 400, which can have a better fixing effect on the reinforcement cover 200.

[0054] Specifically, as Figure 10 and Figure 12 shown, in some of the embodiments, the number of the limiting ribs 222 can be set to be multiple, and the multiple limiting ribs 222 are spaced along the circumferential direction of the cover edge 220 on the inner circumferential surface of the cover edge 220. For example, in the embodiments shown in Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the number of the limiting ribs 222 is set to be two, and the two limiting ribs 222 are symmetrically distributed and respectively abut against the opposite sides of the joint 300.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 6 , at least a part of the cross-sectional outer contour of the joint 300 is adapted to the cross-sectional inner contour of the through hole 211. Such a structural arrangement can ensure that the hole wall of the through hole 211 can abut against the side surface of the joint 300 to limit the radial movement of the joint 300, avoid a gap between the through hole 211 and the joint 300, and reduce the risk of the joint 300 shaking and bending.

[0056] Further, as Figure 5 andFigure 6 As shown, in some of these embodiments, the connector 300 includes a first connector portion 310 and a second connector portion 320 connected to the first connector portion 310. The first connector portion 310 passes through the cover plate 210 through the through hole 211. The second connector portion 320 is located within the housing 100 and the outer contour of the cross-section of the second connector portion 320 is larger than the inner contour of the cross-section of the through hole 211. Such a structural arrangement facilitates assembly on the one hand. The reinforcement cover 200 can be sleeved onto the first connector portion 310 through the through hole 211. Since the size of the second connector portion 320 is larger, the through hole 211 of the reinforcement cover 200 will be blocked by the second connector portion 320. On the other hand, after the data cable 10 is manufactured, the cover plate 210 of the reinforcement cover 200 can also play a role in limiting the second connector portion 320. Its combination with the cured adhesive layer 400 has a more reliable fixing effect on the connector 300.

[0057] Further, as Figure 6 shown, in some of these embodiments, the outer contour of the cross-section of the first connector portion 310 is adapted to the inner contour of the cross-section of the through hole 211. Such a structural arrangement allows the first connector portion 310 to be abutted against by the hole wall of the through hole 211, achieving a limiting effect.

[0058] Further, as Figure 6 shown, in some of these embodiments, the surface of the second connector portion 320 facing the first connector portion 310 abuts against the cover plate 210.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some of these embodiments, the end assembly 12 further includes a circuit board 500 disposed within the housing 100. The circuit board 500 is fixed to one end of the connector 300. The connector 300 is electrically connected to the wire 11 through the circuit board 500, and the circuit board 500 and one end of the connector 300 are fixedly wrapped within the adhesive layer 400. The adhesive layer 400 can play a role in waterproofing and shockproofing. When the connector 300 is subjected to an external force or water seeps in, the adhesive layer 400 can reduce the impact of the external force on the connector 300 and the circuit board 500 fixed to the connector 300, and the adhesive layer 400 can also prevent liquids such as water from eroding the circuit board 500.

[0060] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0061] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patented application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several variations and improvements can be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
