[0002] With the development of science and technology, various electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets have become an indispensable part of people's lives. These electronic devices usually need to be charged or transmit data through data cables. Data cables mainly include a charging plug and a wire body that are connected to each other. In existing data cables, the charging plug includes a connector and a circuit board connected in parallel. In this way, in the connection direction between the charging plug and the electronic device, the length of the charging plug is greater than or equal to the length of the connector plus part of the circuit board. Because the length of the charging plug in the connection direction between the charging plug and the electronic device is too large, specifically, when the connector is connected to the electronic device, the height of the circuit board protruding from the surface of the electronic device is too high, which will affect the user's hand-holding experience when the data cable is connected to the electronic device, or cause some mobile phone holders to be unusable when charging. In addition, in the existing technology, the diameter of the wire body and the connection direction will also affect the thickness of the wire body protruding from the surface of the electronic device when the data cable is connected to the electronic device. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The present application provides a data cable 10 for connecting a power source to an electronic device and providing power or transmitting signals to the electronic device, and is typically used to charge a mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

[0033] The data cable 10 provided herein includes a connector 11, a circuit board 12, and a conductor 13, which are connected in sequence. The connector 11, circuit board 12, and conductor 13 are electrically connected to achieve circuit connection. The connector 11 is vertically mounted on the circuit board 12, and multiple conductors 13 are provided, arranged in a sequential arrangement.

[0034] It should be noted that the wire body 18 includes an external protective cover 181 and an internal wire 13. The wire 13 is arranged in sequence, which means that multiple wires 13 are fitted in sequence and connected into one along a straight line; the connector 11 is arranged vertically on the circuit board 12. In actual production, there will be production errors. The connector 11 and the circuit board 12 are connected to form an angle of 85° to 95°, which is considered to be within the scope of protection of this application. The above description will not be repeated later.

[0035] The present application sets the connector 11 vertically to the circuit board 12, so that when the connector 11 is connected to the electronic device, the connector 11 is inserted into the electronic device, and the circuit board 12 is attached to the surface of the electronic device, and the height protruding from the surface of the electronic device is only the thickness of the circuit board 12. This can minimize the height of the data cable 10 protruding from the surface of the electronic device when connected to the electronic device, reduce the discomfort caused by the data cable 10 when the user holds the mobile phone horizontally, and improve the user's hand-holding experience; and multiple wires 13 are arranged in sequence and connected to the circuit board 12, and the wire body 18 of the data cable 10 is flat, so that the wire body 18 fits the surface of the electronic device more closely, and the height of the wire body 18 protruding from the surface of the electronic device is smaller.

[0036] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the data cable 10 includes a charging plug 17 and a wire body 18. The wire body 18 is connected to the charging plug 17. The height of the charging plug 17 in the direction of connection between the charging plug 17 and the electronic device will affect the height of the protruding electronic device surface, and the connection between the wire body 18 and the charging plug 17 is also along the connection direction between the charging plug 17 and the electronic device. There is a small section of the wire body 18 at the connection point with the charging plug 17. The wire body 18 also extends and bends along the connection direction between the charging plug 17 and the electronic device. In this way, the higher the height of the charging cable protruding from the surface of the electronic device, the more it affects the user's horizontal holding feeling. Specifically, the charging plug 17 includes a connector 11 and a circuit board 12. When the connector 11 is connected to the electronic device, the connector 11 is inserted into the electronic device, and the connection direction between the charging plug 17 and the electronic device is the height direction of the connector 11. Figure 2As shown, the height of connector 11 is defined as a first direction X, and the length of circuit board 12 is defined as a second direction Y, with the first direction X being perpendicular to the second direction Y. Connector 11 is perpendicular to circuit board 12. When connector 11 is connected to the electronic device and placed within the electronic device, circuit board 12 adheres to the surface of the electronic device. The thickness of circuit board 12 and protective cover 181 surrounding circuit board 12 is relatively thin, minimizing the thickness of charging plug 17 when connected to the electronic device. Furthermore, circuit board 12 is perpendicular to connector 11, and cable 18 connects to circuit board 12 in the second direction Y. The connection between cable 18 and charging plug 17 is also along the length of circuit board 12. This allows cable 18 to adhere to the surface of the electronic device when data cable 10 is connected, improving the user's grip.

[0037] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 2 The cable 18 includes an outer protective sheath 181 and inner conductors 13. Multiple conductors 13 are provided and can be used to transmit both power and signals. Multiple conductors 18 are arranged sequentially within the protective sheath 181, forming a straight line. The thickness of the conductors 18 is the diameter of each conductor 18 plus the thickness of the protective sheath 181, minimizing the overall thickness of the conductors 18. Since the conductors 18 are connected to the circuit board 12, in this embodiment, the conductors 18 are connected to the circuit board 12, and the conductors 13 are also arranged sequentially on the circuit board 12. The end of the conductor 18 connecting to the circuit board 12 is oriented in the same direction as the circuit board 12, so at least a portion of the conductor 18 is oriented in the same direction as the circuit board 12. As can be understood, the circuit board 12 and connector 11 are perpendicular to each other, and the conductors 18 are arranged in the same direction as the circuit board 12, with at least a portion of the conductor 18 perpendicular to the connector 11. When the connector 11 is inserted into the electronic device, the conductors 18 can be positioned against the surface of the electronic device.

[0038] In one embodiment, the charging plug 17 further includes an insulating protective member 14, and the circuit board 12 is disposed within the insulating protective member 14, which wraps the circuit board 12 to prevent leakage. The circuit board 12 has a first side surface 121 and an opposite second side surface (not shown). The connector 11 is vertically disposed on the first side surface 121. The insulating protective member 14 includes a first insulating layer 141 and a second insulating layer 142, which are disposed on the first side surface 121 and the second side surface, respectively. Figure 2 As shown, the first insulating layer 141 and the second insulating layer 142 are connected to form an accommodation space. The circuit board 12 is disposed within the accommodation space, and the circuit board 12 is covered as completely as possible to improve insulation. Because the connector 11 is connected to the first side surface 121, the first insulating layer 141 is provided with a through hole (not shown) for electrically connecting the connector 11 and the circuit board 12.

[0039] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 2 The first insulating layer 141 is provided with a protrusion 143 along the periphery of the through-hole. The protrusion 143 is provided on the first insulating layer 141 in a direction away from the circuit board 12. The protrusion 143 wraps around the connection end of the connector 11 with the circuit board 12 to enhance the connection strength between the circuit board 12 and the connector 11. Because the connector 11 is arranged perpendicular to the circuit board 12, the connector 11 is easily subjected to external forces such as pulling and squeezing, which may cause the position of the connector 11 and the circuit board 12 to shift or the connector 11 to detach from the circuit board 12, affecting the electrical connection. Therefore, the protrusion 143 is provided to improve the connection strength between the circuit board 12 and the connector 11, orient the connector 11, and always keep the connector 11 perpendicular to the circuit board 12.

[0040] Furthermore, when the connector 11 is connected to the electronic device, the protrusion 143 limits the depth of the connector 11 inserted into the electronic device, which can play a limiting role. Since electronic devices are usually installed with a protective shell to protect the electronic device, the height of the protrusion 143 needs to be greater than or equal to the height of the shell. Because the depth of the connector 11 inserted into the electronic device is a fixed value, normal electrical connection can be ensured. If the height is too low, it will cause poor contact between the data cable 10 and the electronic device; if the height is too high, the height of the charging plug 17 protruding from the surface of the electronic device will increase. Usually, the height of the protrusion 143 protruding from the first insulating layer 141 is 1 to 4 mm. In this embodiment, the height of the protrusion 143 is 2 mm to ensure normal electrical connection and to minimize the height of the charging plug 17 protruding from the surface of the electronic device.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 2 , the insulating protective part 14 is provided at the connection between the circuit board 12 and the wire 13, and extends onto the wire 13. The connection between the circuit board 12 and the wire 13 and the end of the wire 13 close to the circuit board 12 are all wrapped in the insulating protective part 14 to protect the wire 13 from being easily disconnected from the circuit board 12 due to being pulled, resulting in poor contact. The insulating protective part 14 covers the wire 18 from the end of the circuit board 12 away from the wire body 18, and the protective cover 181 of the wire body 18 is wrapped, so that the connection between the wire body 18 and the circuit board 12 is more stable. Furthermore, the insulating protective part 14 can be a first insulating layer 141 and a second insulating layer 142 connected together by covering, or by integral molding injection molding. The integral molding injection molding process will make the connection between the circuit board 12 and the wire body 18 more stable, and the process is relatively simple. Regardless of the covering process or the integral molding injection molding process, the insulating protective part 14 is provided with a component for fixing the circuit board 12, such as a positioning column or a positioning groove, to fix the circuit board 12 to prevent displacement, and then buckle or injection molding. In the injection molding process, the circuit board 12 is fixed with external positioning pins. After molding, there are grooves on the insulating protection member 14 to avoid the positioning pins. It can also be understood that the insulating protection member 14 is provided with positioning grooves.

[0042] In one embodiment, in order to increase the connection strength between the wire body 18 and the circuit board 12, increase the pressure resistance of the data line 10, and the heat dissipation of the data line 10, a metal part 15 is provided on the insulating protective part 14. The metal part 15 is provided at the connection between the circuit board 12 and the wire body 18 and extends to the circuit board 12 and the wire body 18. The metal part 15 can also cover the insulating protective part 14 corresponding to the entire circuit board 12, which can make the heat dissipation more uniform. Figure 2 As shown, the metal part 15 is covered on the insulating protective part 14 and completely covers the circuit board 12 and part of the wire body 18. In addition to increasing the strength of the connection between the circuit board 12 and the wire body 18, the heat generated on the circuit board 12 is conducted to the metal part 15 through the insulating protective part 14. The heat dissipation performance of metal is better than that of plastic or silicone materials. It can quickly conduct heat, improve heat dissipation performance, protect electronic components, and improve the safety of the data line 10.

[0043] Furthermore, the metal component 15 is only provided on the second insulating layer 142. Because the first insulating layer 141 corresponds to the first side surface 121 of the circuit board 12, and the connector 11 is provided on the first side surface 121, which is the side connected to the electronic device, the first side surface 121 is provided with as few components as possible to allow the charging plug 17 to fit more closely to the surface of the electronic device. This improves heat dissipation while also reducing the thickness of the charging plug 17 in the first direction X. This improves the user's hand-holding feel. Furthermore, when some electronic device holders secure the electronic device, the charging port of the electronic device fits closely to the desktop or other center console, making it impossible to connect the data cable 10 for charging. Reducing the thickness of the charging plug 17 in the first direction allows the charging plug 17 to fit more closely to the electronic device and enables charging while the holder is in use.

[0044] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 2The data cable 10 is also provided with an outer shell 16, which is covered on the metal part 15 to prevent the metal part 15 from being scratched or oxidized, which affects the overall appearance of the data cable 10. The outer shell 16 is provided on the metal part 15 to prevent the high-temperature metal part 15 from directly contacting the user and affecting the user's experience. The outer shell 16 can be made of a hard material or a soft material, preferably a soft material. The soft material is a material that can be bent under the action of an external force and can return to its original shape after bending, and is generally a silicone material. In this embodiment, the outer shell 16 is made of a transparent material, and the visual beauty can be improved by spraying different colors on the metal. Furthermore, a clamping portion 144 is provided on the insulating protective part 14, and the outer shell 16 is fixed to the insulating protective part 14 by connecting it to the clamping portion 144. For example, a protrusion 143 is provided at the connection between the first insulating layer 141 and the second insulating layer 142. The protrusion 143 is a clipping portion 144. The outer shell 16 is covered on the outside of the metal part 15 corresponding to the second insulating layer 142. A bending portion is provided on the outer shell 16. The bending portion is connected to the clipping portion 144 near the side of the first insulating layer 141, and the outer shell 16 is sleeved on the insulating protective part 14.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
