[0041] It should be noted that the terms "first, second, and third" in the embodiments of the present application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It is understood that the terms "first, second, and third" can be interchanged to represent a specific order or precedence where permitted. It should be understood that the objects distinguished by "first, second, and third" can be interchanged where appropriate, such that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0042] The following combination Figures 1 to 6 The data line device described in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, a data cable device includes a housing 100, a rotating member 200, a first cable 300, a connector 400, and a second cable 600. The housing 100 has a receiving cavity 102 and an opening 101 communicating with the receiving cavity 102. The rotating member 200 is rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity 102. The first cable 300 includes a first end 330, a second end 320, and a winding section 310. The first end 330 is fixed to the rotating member 200; the second end 320 is located outside the housing 100 through the opening 101. The winding section 310 is connected to the first end 330 and the second end 320, respectively, and is configured to be wound around the rotating member 200. The connector 400 is disposed within the housing 100 and connected to the first end 330. The connector 400 has an exposed first connecting portion 410. The second cable 600 is located outside the housing 100 and is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 410, thereby connecting to the first end 330 via the connector 400.

[0044] In the related art, the data cable structure includes a shell structure, a rotating structure and two groups of cable structures; the first group of cable structures is stretched and stored by the rotating structure, and the second group of cable structures is fixed to the shell structure. The second group of cable structures is generally electrically connected to the first group of cable structures by welding. However, during the assembly process, the second group of cable structures is often pulled, causing the second group of cable structures to often be electrically disconnected from the first group of cable structures, resulting in a high defective rate of the data cable structure. In the data cable device of the present application, the connector 400 is provided in the housing 100 and connected to the first end portion 330 of the first cable 300. The connector 400 has a first connecting portion 410 in an exposed state. The second cable 600 is located outside the housing 100 and is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 410 so as to be connected to the first end portion 330 through the connector 400. In this case, during the assembly process, the second cable 600 can be assembled later. After the other structures of the data cable device are assembled, the second cable 600 can be detachably connected to the first connecting portion 410 in an exposed state. In this case, the second cable 600 and the first cable 300 can be electrically connected through the connector 400, and the high defect rate of the data cable device caused by pulling the second cable 600 during the assembly process can be prevented.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the housing 100 is not limited. Figure 1 As shown, the housing 100 may include a first half shell 110 and a second half shell 120 , and the second half shell 120 may be connected to the first half shell 110 via a snap-fit structure, a threaded structure, an adhesive structure, etc. Here, an opening 101 and a receiving cavity 102 may be defined between the second half shell 120 and the first half shell 110 .

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the rotating member 200 is not limited. For example, the rotating member 200 can be a columnar structure. The implementation method of the rotating member 200 being rotatably disposed in the accommodating space is not limited. For example, the rotating member 200 can be rotatably disposed in the accommodating space through a rotating shaft structure. As an example, a connecting column 121 is provided in the accommodating space, and the rotating member 200 has a connecting hole. The connecting column 121 is passed through the connecting hole and can rotate in the connecting hole; thereby, the rotating member 200 is rotatably disposed in the accommodating space by passing the connecting column 121 through the connecting hole. Here, as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting column 121 can be fixed to the second half shell 120. Of course, the connecting column 121 and the second half shell 120 can also be a structural member; the connecting column 121 can also be connected to the first half shell 110. Here, the connecting column 121 and the first half shell 110 can be connected by screws.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the first cable 300 can be lengthened by stretching the second end portion 320 .

[0048] The first end portion 330 of the first cable 300 can be directly fixed to the rotating member 200 by bonding, clamping, or welding, or can be fixed to other structural components of the rotating member 200 by bonding, clamping, or welding.

[0049] Here, the first end portion 330 , the second end portion 320 , and the winding section 310 are different regions of one cable.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the connector 400 can be directly fixed to the housing 100 by bonding, clamping, or welding, or can be directly fixed to other structural parts on the housing 100 by bonding, clamping, or welding.

[0051] The connector 400 has a first connection portion 410 in an exposed state so that the first connection portion 410 and the second cable 600 are detachably connected.

[0052] As an example, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 100 may have a receiving groove 111, and at least a portion of the first connecting portion 410 is located in the receiving groove 111, so as to reduce the installation space of the first connecting portion 410, thereby achieving miniaturization of the data cable device. Of course, the first connecting portion 410 can also directly extend out of the housing 100.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, the second cable 600 is detachably connected to the first connecting portion 410 , and the second cable 600 is connected to the first end portion 330 via the connector 400 , so that the second cable 600 and the first cable 300 can be detachably connected via the connector 400 .

[0054] The manner in which the second cable 600 is detachably connected to the first connection portion 410 is not limited. The second cable 600 and the first connection portion 410 can be detachably connected by plugging, snapping, or other methods.

[0055] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the second cable 600 may further have a second connecting portion 610 , and the second connecting portion 610 and the first connecting portion 410 are detachably connected to facilitate the detachable connection of the second cable 600 to the first connecting portion 410 .

[0056] In this implementation, the implementation of the detachable connection between the second connection portion 610 and the first connection portion 410 is not limited. The second connection portion 610 and the first connection portion 410 can be detachably connected by plugging, snapping, or the like.

[0057] For example, one of the first connection part 410 and the second connection part 610 is a slot, and the other of the first connection part 410 and the second connection part 610 is a plug inserted into the slot, so that the first connection part 410 and the second connection part 610 can be quickly connected and separated.

[0058] As an example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first connection portion 410 is a slot. Here, the end surface of the connector 400 located around the slot can be recessed into the surface of the housing 100, or it can be flush with the surface of the housing 100 to prevent foreign objects from striking the connector 400 and damaging it. Of course, the end surface of the connector 400 located around the slot can also protrude from the surface of the housing 100.

[0059] For another example, one of the first connection portion 410 and the second connection portion 610 is the card slot 204 , and the other of the first connection portion 410 and the second connection portion 610 is a card head that is locked in the card slot 204 .

[0060] In one application, the connector 400 is a female terminal, and the second connecting portion 610 is a male terminal; here, the male terminal can be inserted into the interface on the female terminal.

[0061] Of course, in other implementations, the second cable 600 may not be provided with the second connecting portion 610 . In this case, the end of the second cable 600 may be directly inserted into the slot, or the end of the second cable 600 may be directly clamped into the clamping slot 204 .

[0062] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the data line device may further include: a conductive component 800, which is arranged in the accommodating cavity 102 and is electrically connected to the connector 400 and the first end 330 respectively; the electrical connection between the connector 400 and the first end 330 can be achieved through the conductive component 800.

[0063] In this implementation, the structure of the conductive component 800 is not limited.

[0064] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the conductive assembly 800 may include a first conductive member 810 and a second conductive member 820. The first conductive member 810 is fixed to the housing 100 and electrically connected to the connector 400; the second conductive member 820 is fixed to the rotating member 200 and electrically connected to the first end portion 330 and the first conductive member 810, respectively. Thus, the first conductive member 810 and the second conductive member 820 are electrically connected to the connector 400 and the first end portion 330.

[0065] Here, the structure of the first conductive member 810 is not limited. For example, the first conductive member 810 may be a plate-shaped structure to reduce the installation space of the first conductive member 810. As an example, the first conductive member 810 may be a circuit board. In one application, the first conductive member 810 may be a printed circuit board (PCB). Of course, the first conductive member 810 may also be a block-shaped structure.

[0066] Here, the manner in which the first conductive member 810 is electrically connected to the connector 400 is not limited. For example, the first conductive member 810 and the connector 400 may be electrically connected via a conductive wire or a conductive member. For another example, the first conductive member 810 and the connector 400 may be directly electrically connected. As an example, the first conductive member 810 may be a circuit board, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connector 400 can be directly soldered to the circuit board, and the conductive structure 830 of the connector 400 can be electrically connected to the conductive layer on the circuit board directly or through a soldering point.

[0067] Here, the method for fixing the first conductive member 810 to the housing 100 is not limited. For example, the first conductive member 810 can be fixed to the housing 100 by bonding, welding, clamping, threading, etc.

[0068] Here, the structure of the second conductive member 820 is not limited. For example, the second conductive member 820 is a plate-shaped structure to reduce the installation space of the second conductive member 820. Of course, the second conductive member 820 can also be a block-shaped structure.

[0069] Here, the method for fixing the second conductive member 820 to the rotating member 200 is not limited. For example, the second conductive member 820 can be fixed to the rotating member 200 by bonding, welding, clamping, threading, etc.

[0070] Here, the manner in which the second conductive member 820 is electrically connected to the first end portion 330 is not limited. For example, the second conductive member 820 and the first end portion 330 may be electrically connected through direct contact. For another example, the second conductive member 820 and the first end portion 330 may be electrically connected through a conductive wire or a conductive member.

[0071] Here, the manner in which the second conductive member 820 is electrically connected to the first conductive member 810 is not limited.

[0072] For example, the conductive assembly 800 may further include a conductive structure 830. The conductive structure 830 may include at least one conductive annular groove 831 and at least one conductive protrusion 832. The at least one conductive protrusion 832 is inserted into and rotatable within the conductive annular groove 831. One of the at least one conductive annular groove 831 and the at least one conductive protrusion 832 is disposed on the first conductive member 810, and the other of the at least one conductive annular groove 831 and the at least one conductive protrusion 832 is disposed on the second conductive member 820. When the rotating member 200 rotates relative to the housing 100, the at least one conductive protrusion 832 slides within the corresponding conductive annular groove 831. Simultaneously, the conductive protrusion 832 and the conductive annular groove 831 are always in electrical connection. Thus, the conductive protrusion 832 and the conductive annular groove 831 ensure that the first end portion 330 fixed to the rotating member 200 is always in electrical connection with the connector 400 disposed on the housing 100, thereby ensuring that the first cable 300 and the second cable 600 are always in electrical connection.

[0073] As an example, Figure 6 As shown, at least one conductive ring groove 831 is disposed on the first conductive member 810 , and at least one conductive protrusion 832 is disposed on the second conductive member 820 .

[0074] Here, a conductive structure 830 is disposed in the conductive annular groove 831. For example, the bottom wall of the conductive annular groove 831 may be provided with the conductive structure 830. For another example, the side walls of the conductive annular groove 831 may be provided with the conductive structure 830. As an example, if the first conductive member 810 is a circuit board, the bottom wall of the conductive annular groove 831 may be provided with a conductive layer.

[0075] Here, the number of the conductive ring grooves 831 is not limited. As an example, Figure 6 As shown, six conductive ring grooves 831 are coaxially arranged on the first conductive member 810 .

[0076] Here, the structure of the conductive protrusion 832 is not limited. For example, the conductive protrusion 832 can be a conductive sheet. As an example, the conductive protrusion 832 can be formed by an arc-shaped conductive sheet.

[0077] Here, the conductive protrusion 832 can be electrically connected to the conductive structure 830 on the second conductive member 820, and the conductive structure 830 on the second conductive member 820 can be electrically connected to the first end 330. Of course, the conductive protrusion 832 can also be directly electrically connected to the first end 330 through a conductive wire or a conductive member.

[0078] Here, the number of the conductive protrusions 832 is not limited. As an example, Figure 6As shown, the second conductive member 820 is coaxially provided with six groups of conductive protrusions 832 , each group of conductive protrusions 832 is inserted into the corresponding conductive ring groove 831 and electrically connected to the conductive structure 830 at the conductive ring groove 831 to achieve electrical connection with the connector 400 on the first conductive member 810 .

[0079] Of course, the conductive structure 830 may also be in other structural forms. For example, the conductive structure 830 may include a flexible conductive wire disposed between the first conductive member 810 and the second conductive member 820. When the second conductive member 820 rotates relative to the first conductive member 810, the flexible conductive wire may be curled and unfolded.

[0080] Of course, the conductive assembly 800 may also have other structural forms. For example, the conductive assembly 800 may include a flexible conductive wire, which is electrically connected to the first end 330 and the connector 400, respectively. When the rotating member 200 rotates relative to the housing 100, the flexible conductive wire can be curled and unfolded.

[0081] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the data cable device may further include an elastic member 500, at least a portion of which may be disposed in a cavity defined by the rotating member 200 and connected to the rotating member 200 and the housing 100, respectively; the elastic member 500 is used to provide a force to rotate the rotating member 200 in a retracting direction, so that when the external force for stretching the first cable 300 is withdrawn, the rotating member 200 is automatically rotated in the retracting direction based on the force provided by the elastic member 500, thereby enabling the data cable device to automatically retract the first cable 300.

[0082] Here, the structure of the elastic member 500 is not limited. For example, the elastic member 500 can be a coil spring.

[0083] The manner in which the elastic member 500 is connected to the rotating member 200 and the housing 100 is not limited. For example, the first end of the elastic member 500 can be fixed to the rotating member 200 by snapping, bonding, welding, etc., and the second end of the elastic member 500 can be fixed to the housing 100 by snapping, bonding, welding, etc. As an example, the second end of the elastic member 500 is fixed to the housing 100 by snapping onto the connecting post 121.

[0084] In this implementation, the data cable device may further include: a limit member 700, which is arranged between the shell 100 and the end side of the rotating member 200; the limit member 700 is used to limit the rotation position of the rotating member 200 relative to the shell 100, so that when the first cable 300 is pulled out of the shell 100 to a suitable length, the limit member 700 can be used to prevent the rotating member 200 from rotating relative to the shell 100, thereby keeping the first cable 300 at a suitable length.

[0085] The structure of the limiting member 700 is not limited. Figure 3 As shown, the end face side of the rotating member 200 is further provided with an inner annular slide 201 and an outer annular slide 202 arranged along the radial interval, as well as a slide-in channel 203 and a slide-out channel respectively connected to the inner annular slide 201 and the outer annular slide 202. The end face side of the rotating member 200 is further provided with a clamping groove 204 at the slide-in channel 203; the limiting member 700 is rotatably arranged on the shell 100, and has a boss 710 arranged along the axial direction, and the boss 710 is used to be clamped in the clamping groove 204. When the first cable 300 is stretched by an external force, the boss 710 slides on the outer annular slide 202. When the first cable 300 is stretched to an appropriate length; the external force is removed, the rotating member 200 rotates in the opposite direction under the action of the elastic member 500, and the boss 710 enters the slot 204 from the sliding channel 203, and the rotating member 200 stops rotating; when the rotating member 200 is lightly pulled and released, the boss 710 enters the inner annular slide 201 from the sliding channel 203 and rotates in the opposite direction under the action of the elastic member 500. The boss 710 slides on the inner annular slide 201 until the first cable 300 is completely stored.

[0086] Here, the limiting member 700 may be rotatably disposed on the housing 100 via a rotating shaft structure. As an example, the limiting member 700 may be rotatably connected to the housing 100 via a shaft hole structure.

[0087] Of course, in other implementations, the limiting member 700 may also have other structures. For example, the limiting member 700 may be movably disposed on the housing 100, and a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting member 700 may be disposed on the end surface of the rotating member 200. When the end of the limiting member 700 moves into the limiting groove, the rotating member 200 cannot rotate. When the end of the limiting member 700 moves out of the limiting groove, the rotating member 200 can rotate.

[0088] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
