[0034] The utility model provides a two-in-one data cable.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the two-in-one data cable includes a transmission conductor 10 , an adapter 20 , a plurality of electrode plates 40 , a protective shell 30 , a plurality of connectors and a plurality of toggles 60 .

[0036] Specifically, the adapter 20 is electrically connected to the transmission wire 10. A protective shell 30 is sleeved on the outside of the adapter 20. The side of the protective shell 30 facing away from the adapter 20 is provided with multiple extension openings 31, and the multiple extension openings 31 are spaced apart from each other. The side of the protective shell 30 is provided with multiple vias 32, and the multiple vias 32 all extend along the first direction.

[0037] Each set of electrode sheets 40 includes a positive electrode sheet 40 and a negative electrode sheet 40. The positive electrode sheets 40 and the negative electrode sheets 40 of each set of electrode sheets 40 are electrically connected to the adapter 20. The electrode sheets 40 of each set are spaced apart from each other and extend along the first direction. Multiple connectors are retractably mounted within the protective shell 30. The multiple connectors are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple extension openings 31. Each connector is provided with a positive terminal 52 and a negative terminal 52. The positive terminal 52 and the negative terminal 52 of each connector are arranged corresponding to a set of electrode sheets 40. The positive terminal 52 of each connector abuts the corresponding positive electrode sheet 40, and the negative terminal 52 abuts the corresponding negative electrode sheet 40. Each connector has a charging position and a storage position. In the charging position, the connector extends from the extension opening 31, and in the storage position, the connector retracts into the extension opening 31.

[0038] A plurality of toggle members 60 are slidably installed in the protective shell 30 along the first direction. The plurality of toggle members 60 are connected one-to-one with the plurality of connectors. One toggle member 60 is arranged corresponding to one through-hole 32 and is provided with a toggle portion 61. The toggle portion 61 extends from the corresponding through-hole 32. The toggle member 60 is used to drive the connector to move between the charging position and the storage position.

[0039] The positive electrode sheet 40 and the negative electrode sheet 40 are both in the shape of long strips extending along the first direction, so that when the connector moves, the positive terminal 52 of the connector can be ensured to always be connected to the positive electrode sheet 40, and the negative terminal 52 to the negative electrode sheet 40.

[0040] There are at least two connectors, and the models of the two connectors are different. Specifically in actual use, the user can push out the connector that is adapted to the electronic device through the toggle 60, so as to plug it into the interface of the electronic device, while the other connectors are located in the protective shell 30 for storage to avoid being scattered. When charging or data transmission is completed, the connector is disengaged from the interface. At this time, the user can move the connector from the charging position to the storage position through the toggle 60. In other words, the connector is driven to retract into the extension port 31 by the toggle 60 for storage. This arrangement allows the user to push the connector that is adapted to the electronic device out of the extension port 31 through the toggle 60 when the data cable is needed for charging or data transmission. After use, the connector can also be pushed back into the protective shell 30 through the toggle 60 for storage.

[0041] For example, the number of connectors may be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, etc. The models of the multiple connectors may be a Type-C connector 50, a Type-B connector, a Lightning connector 51, etc. It is worth noting that the models of the multiple connectors may be different from each other, or the multiple connectors may be arranged in groups of two, with each group having different connector models, and the two connectors in the same group having the same model. In this way, if one connector fails, another connector can be used.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that by setting up an electrical connection between the electrode sheet 40 and the connector terminal 52, compared with the method of directly connecting to the adapter 20 through a wire, the use of the electrode sheet 40 can reduce the welding points between the electrode sheet 40 and the adapter 20, can reduce the production and processing technology, and is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0043] The technical solution of the present invention is to sleeve the protective shell 30 on the outside of the adapter 20, and provide a plurality of protruding openings 31 on the side of the protective shell 30 away from the adapter 20, and the plurality of protruding openings 31 are spaced apart from each other. The side of the protective shell 30 is provided with a plurality of through holes 32, and the plurality of through holes 32 extend along the first direction; each group of electrode sheets 40 includes a positive electrode sheet 40 and a negative electrode sheet 40, and the positive electrode sheet 40 and the negative electrode sheet 40 of each group of electrode sheets 40 are electrically connected to the adapter 20, and each group of electrode sheets 40 are spaced apart and extend along the first direction; multiple connectors can be telescopically installed in the protective shell 30, and are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of protruding openings 31, and each connector is provided with a positive terminal 52 And negative terminal 52, the positive terminal 52 and negative terminal 52 of each connector are arranged corresponding to a group of electrode sheets 40, the positive terminal 52 of each connector abuts against the corresponding positive electrode sheet 40, and the negative terminal 52 abuts against the corresponding negative electrode sheet 40, each connector has a charging position and a storage position, in the charging position, the connector extends from the extension port 31, and in the storage position, the connector retracts into the extension port 31; a plurality of toggle members 60 are slidably installed in the protective shell 30 along the first direction, and are connected one-to-one with the plurality of connectors, and a toggle member 60 is arranged corresponding to a through hole 32, and each toggle member 60 is provided with a toggle portion 61, and the toggle member 60 is used to drive the connector to move between the charging position and the storage position. In this way, when the user needs to use the data cable for charging or data transmission, the user can use the toggle member 60 to push out the connector that is compatible with the electronic device so that it can be plugged into the interface of the electronic device, while the other connectors are located in the protective shell 30 for storage to avoid being scattered. When charging or data transmission is completed, the connector is disconnected from the interface. At this time, the user can use the toggle member 60 to move the connector from the charging position to the storage position. In other words, the toggle member 60 drives the connector to retract into the extension port 31 for storage.

[0044] In some embodiments, the size of the positive terminal 52 is tapered in the direction toward the positive electrode sheet 40 ; the size of the negative terminal 52 is tapered in the direction toward the negative electrode sheet 40 .

[0045] Specifically, the positive terminal 52 and the negative terminal 52 of the connector are both roughly conical. This configuration can reduce the contact area between the positive terminal 52 and the negative terminal 52, thereby reducing the friction between the positive terminal 52 and the positive electrode sheet 40, and between the negative terminal 52 and the negative electrode sheet 40 when the connector moves between the charging position and the storage position, making it easier for the user to move the toggle portion 61. Of course, in other embodiments, the positive terminal 52 has the same size away from the positive electrode sheet 40 and near the positive electrode sheet 40; and the negative terminal 52 has the same size away from the negative electrode sheet 40 and near the negative electrode sheet 40.

[0046] In some embodiments, the two-in-one data cable further includes a mounting plate 70, which is mounted between two opposing inner walls of the protective shell 30 and extends along the first direction. Multiple sets of electrode sheets 40 are mounted on the mounting plate 70. Specifically, the mounting plate 70 provides mounting locations for the multiple sets of electrode sheets 40, ensuring stable installation of the electrode sheets 40. Of course, in other embodiments, the multiple sets of electrode sheets 40 are mounted on the inner wall of the protective shell 30.

[0047] In some embodiments, mounting grooves are provided on opposing inner walls of the protective shell 30, into which opposing sides of the mounting plate 70 are inserted. Specifically, the opposing sides of the mounting plate 70 are inserted into the mounting grooves on opposing inner walls of the protective shell 30 for secure installation. This arrangement allows for easy assembly of the mounting plate 70 while ensuring stable installation. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting plate 70 is mounted within the protective shell 30 using threaded fasteners.

[0048] In some embodiments, two opposing inner walls of the protective shell 30 are each provided with two ribs 11 , both of which extend along the first direction. The two ribs 11 are spaced apart from each other to form a mounting groove, and the mounting plate 70 is inserted between the two ribs 11 .

[0049] Specifically, by providing two ribs 11, and by spacing the two ribs 11 apart to form a mounting groove, it is possible to eliminate the need to dig a mounting groove on the inner wall of the protective shell 30, thereby preventing damage to the overall structural strength of the protective shell 30. Furthermore, the ribs 11 can be used to strengthen the overall structural strength of the protective shell 30, thereby increasing the strength of the protective shell 30. Of course, in other embodiments, mounting grooves can also be dug on two opposing inner walls of the protective shell 30.

[0050] In some embodiments, the two-in-one data cable includes two connectors, and the two connectors are connectors of different models. That is, the protective shell 30 is provided with two extension ports 31, and the two-in-one data cable includes two sets of electrode sheets 40, the two extension ports 31 are spaced apart from each other, and the two connectors are arranged corresponding to the two extension ports 31. In this embodiment, one of the two connectors is a Type-C connector 50, and the other is a Lightning connector 51. As we know, the connectors of current electronic products are mainly divided into Type-C connectors 50 and Lightning connectors 51. Setting the two connectors to Type-C connectors 50 and Lightning connectors 51 respectively can meet the user's usage needs. Of course, in other embodiments, the two connectors can also be set to Type-C connectors 50 and Type-B connectors, Type-B connectors and Lightning connectors 51, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, a first limiting groove 33 is provided on one end of the inner wall of the protective shell 30 near the extension port 31, and a limiting protrusion 62 is provided on the position of the toggle member 60 corresponding to the first limiting groove 33. In the first limiting state, the limiting protrusion 62 extends into the first limiting groove 33 to limit the connector to the charging position.

[0052] Specifically, when the user toggles the toggle 60 to move the connector to the charging position, the limiting protrusion 62 can extend into the first limiting groove 33. The limiting protrusion 62 and the first limiting groove 33 cooperate with each other to constrain the connector to the charging position. This eliminates the need for the user to press against the toggle 60 when plugging the connector into an electronic device, preventing the connector from retracting into the extension opening 31. This arrangement improves the user experience.

[0053] In other embodiments, the inner wall of the protective shell 30 is further provided with a second limiting groove 33, and the second limiting groove 33 is provided between the two ends of the protective shell 30. The toggle member 60 also has a second limiting state. In the second limiting state, the limiting protrusion 62 extends into the second limiting groove 33 to limit the connector to the storage position.

[0054] Specifically, when the user toggles the toggle member 60 to move the connector to the storage position, the limiting protrusion 62 can extend into the second limiting groove 33. The limiting protrusion 62 and the second limiting groove 33 cooperate with each other to restrain the connector in the storage position and prevent the connector from slipping out of the extension opening 31. This arrangement is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0055] In some embodiments, the two-in-one data cable further includes an elastic member, which is disposed between the toggle member 60 and the mounting plate 70 and has elastic deformation that drives the toggle member 60 to move from the unlocked state to the restricted state.

[0056] Specifically, the elastic member may be connected only to the toggle member 60 , or only to the mounting plate 70 , or may be connected to both the toggle member 60 and the mounting plate 70 at the same time.

[0057] Specifically, when in the charging position, the elastic member can limit the limiting protrusion 62 to the first limiting groove 33, and when in the storage position, the elastic member can limit the limiting protrusion 62 to the second limiting groove 33, preventing the limiting protrusion 62 from detaching from the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 33.

[0058] When the limiting protrusion 62 needs to be disengaged from the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 33, the toggle member 60 only needs to be pressed to move the toggle member 60 from the limiting state to the unlocking state, thereby disengaging the limiting protrusion 62 from the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 33. The toggle member 60 can then be moved toward the charging position / the storage position. After the movement is completed, the toggle member 60 is released, and the elastic member is elastically deformed to drive the toggle member 60 from the unlocking state to the limiting state, thereby driving the limiting protrusion 62 to stably extend into the first limiting groove 33 / the second limiting groove 33. The elastic member may be, but is not limited to, a spring, a spring, an elastic pad, etc.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
