[0021] In summary, the wire stop structure and electronic equipment provided in this specification can respectively bear part of the force when the cable body is subjected to tension. The wire can directly contact and connect with the wire stop in the exposed section, so the wire can transmit the force to the wire stop without passing through the epidermis, which can reduce the load borne by the epidermis, thereby reducing the risk of the epidermis being torn. The exposed section is at least partially located within the reinforcement structure, which can increase the connection area between the at least two wires and the wire stop, thereby increasing the bonding force between the at least two wires and the wire stop, and can effectively reduce the risk of separation between the at least two wires and the wire stop when subjected to external forces, thereby strengthening the protective effect and fixing effect of the wire stop on the at least two wires.

[0029] The following description provides specific application scenarios and requirements for this specification, with the goal of enabling those skilled in the art to make and use the contents of this specification. Various modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments and applications without departing from the spirit and scope of this specification. Therefore, this specification is not limited to the embodiments shown, but is intended to be accorded the broadest scope consistent with the claims.

[0030] The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific example embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. For example, as used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" may also include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. When used in this specification, the terms "comprise," "include," and / or "contain" are intended to refer to the presence of the associated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups or the addition of other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups in the system / method.

[0031] These and other features of this specification, as well as the operation and function of the associated elements of the structure, and the economical assembly and manufacture of the components, can be significantly improved with consideration of the following description. Reference is made to the accompanying drawings, all of which form a part of this specification. However, it should be expressly understood that the drawings are for illustration and description purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.

[0032] The flowcharts used in this specification illustrate operations implemented by systems according to some embodiments of the present specification. It should be clearly understood that the operations of the flowcharts may not be implemented in sequence. Rather, the operations may be implemented in reverse order or simultaneously. Furthermore, one or more additional operations may be added to the flowcharts. One or more operations may be removed from the flowcharts.

[0033] In this specification, "X includes at least one of A, B, or C" means that X includes at least A, or X includes at least B, or X includes at least C. In other words, X may include only any one of A, B, and C, or any combination of A, B, and C, as well as other possible contents / elements. Any combination of A, B, and C may be A, B, C, AB, AC, BC, or ABC.

[0034] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the association relationship between structures can be a direct association relationship or an indirect association relationship. For example, when describing "A is connected to B", unless it is clearly stated that A is directly connected to B, it should be understood that A can be directly connected to B or indirectly connected to B; for another example, when describing "A is above B", unless it is clearly stated that A is directly above B (AB are adjacent and A is above B), it should be understood that A can be directly above B or indirectly above B (AB is separated by other elements and A is above B). And so on.

[0035] In the prior art, electronic devices often rely on cables to transmit power and / or electrical signals to the outside world. Cables can be mounted on the electronic device's housing using a cable support structure. However, in the prior art, the cable support structure is often susceptible to mechanical damage at the connection with the electronic device's housing, shortening the cable's service life. Therefore, there is a need to provide a new cable support structure that reduces the probability of mechanical damage.

[0036] The wire stop structure and electronic device provided in this specification can respectively bear part of the force when the cable body is subjected to tension. The wire can directly contact and connect with the wire stop in the exposed section, so the wire can transmit the force to the wire stop without passing through the epidermis, which can reduce the load borne by the epidermis, thereby reducing the risk of the epidermis being torn. The exposed section is at least partially located within the reinforcement structure, which can increase the connection area between the at least two wires and the wire stop, thereby increasing the bonding force between the at least two wires and the wire stop, and can effectively reduce the risk of separation between the at least two wires and the wire stop when subjected to external forces, thereby strengthening the protective effect and fixing effect of the wire stop on the at least two wires.

[0037] The cable structure provided herein can be applied to cables for electronic devices. The cables contain conductors that can be used to conduct electrical energy and / or electrical signals. In some embodiments, the electronic device can be connected to a power source via the cable, allowing the power source to power the electronic device. The electronic device can also transmit data to the outside world via the cable.

[0038] Figure 1A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of the connection between the wire stop structure and the connection terminal provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the top view of the connection between the wire stop structure and the connection terminal provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 2 The middle dotted line indicates the extension path of the cable body within the cable gland. Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a top view of a wire stop structure according to an embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable support structure 100 includes a cable body 110 and a cable support 120. The cable support 120 includes a base 121 and a reinforcement structure 130 connected thereto. The cable body 110 passes through the base 121 and the reinforcement structure 130 and is connected thereto, respectively. The portion of the cable body 110 that is bent within the reinforcement structure 130 is bent, and the outer shape of the reinforcement structure 130 is curved as the cable body 110 bends.

[0039] The cable body 110 can be used to conduct electrical energy and / or electrical signals. In some embodiments, the electronic device 1 can be connected to a power source through the cable body 110 so that the power source can power the electronic device 1. The electronic device 1 can also transmit data to the outside world through the cable body 110.

[0040] The wire stopper 120 can protect the cable body 110. On the one hand, the wire stopper 120 can play a role in mechanical reinforcement, and when the cable body 110 is pulled or twisted, the wire stopper 120 can share the force. On the other hand, the wire stopper 120 is connected to the cable body 110, which can alleviate the stress concentration of the cable body 110 near the target housing 200, thereby reducing the risk of breakage of the cable body 110.

[0041] Figure 4 A partial structural diagram of an electronic device provided according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 5 FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the housing of the electronic device provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the wire stop structure 100 can be assembled on the target housing 200 of the electronic device 1 to work. The wire stop 120 can cooperate with the target housing 200 to play a positioning role. The cable body 110 is partially bent inside the reinforcement structure 130, so that the cable body 110 can adjust its own extension direction so that the extension direction of the cable body 110 is compatible with the structure of the target housing 200 and the structure of other parts of the electronic device 1. For example, the bending angle of the cable body 110 inside the reinforcement structure 130 is 90°, and the extension direction of the cable body 110 can be changed by 90° inside the reinforcement structure 130.

[0042] The presence of the reinforcement structure 130 can increase the connection area between the cable body 110 and the wire guard 120, thereby increasing the bonding strength between the cable body 110 and the wire guard 120. This effectively reduces the risk of separation between the cable body 110 and the wire guard 120 when subjected to external forces, and reduces the probability of mechanical damage to the wire guard structure 100, thereby increasing the service life of the wire guard structure 100. The outer shape of the reinforcement structure 130 bends as the cable body 110 bends. This configuration can reduce the material used for the reinforcement structure 130 and also reduce the space occupied by the reinforcement structure 130 on the target housing 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the reinforcement structure 130 includes a first connecting portion 131 and a turning portion 132. The first connecting portion 131 is connected between the turning portion 132 and the base 121. The cable body 110 passes through the base 121 and the first connecting portion 131 along a first direction D1. The cross-sectional dimensions of the first connecting portion 131, perpendicular to the first direction D1, are smaller than the cross-sectional dimensions of the base 121 and the cross-sectional dimensions of the turning portion 132.

[0044] In other words, the wire stop structure 100 can be retracted at the first connection portion 131. The target housing 200 can protrude at a position corresponding to the first connection portion 131. The shape of the wire stop structure 100 at the first connection portion 131 can match the shape of the target housing 200, so that the target housing 200 can limit the position of the wire stop structure 100, which helps the wire stop structure 100 maintain a stable installation state on the target housing 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the turning portion 132 includes a turning sub-portion 133 and an extension sub-portion 134. The turning sub-portion 133 is connected between the extension sub-portion 134 and the first connecting portion 131. The cable body 110 passes through the turning sub-portion 133. The cable body 110 is bent inside the turning sub-portion 133 and passes through the extension sub-portion 134 along the second direction D2. The second direction D2 is not parallel to the first direction D1. The extension sub-portion 134 and the base 121 are spaced apart along the first direction D1 to form a retaining groove 127 for the first retaining portion of the target housing 200 to be inserted into.

[0046] The side walls of the limiting groove 127 can be located at the extension portion 134 and the base 121, respectively, and the bottom wall of the limiting groove 127 can be located at the connection portion. When the wire stop structure 100 is assembled on the target housing 200, the first limiting portion of the target housing 200 can be inserted into the limiting groove 127. The first limiting portion can abut against the side walls of the limiting groove 127, thereby restricting the movement of the wire stop structure 100 relative to the target housing 200 in the first direction D1, which helps the wire stop structure 100 maintain a stable installation state on the target housing 200.

[0047] In some embodiments, the second direction D2 and the first direction D1 include an angle of 85° to 95°, and the portion of the cable body 110 within the turning sub-portion 133 is bent at an angle of 85° to 95°. For example, the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1, and the portion of the cable body 110 within the turning sub-portion 133 is bent at an angle of 90°. In other embodiments, the second direction D2 and the first direction D1 include an angle of 100° to 110°, and the portion of the cable body 110 within the turning sub-portion 133 is bent at an angle of 100° to 110°.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first limiting portion is located inside the target housing 200 , and the turning portion 132 may be located inside the target housing 200 .

[0049] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one side of the base 121 connected to the reinforcing structure 130 includes a first limiting surface 122, and the side of the turning portion 132 facing away from the limiting groove 127 includes a second limiting surface 135. The first limiting surface 122 and the second limiting surface 135 are perpendicular to each other and form an installation space 128 to accommodate the second limiting portion of the target shell 200.

[0050] The first limiting surface 122 and the second limiting surface 135 being perpendicular to each other includes the situation where the first limiting surface 122 and the second limiting surface 135 are approximately perpendicular to each other.

[0051] In some embodiments, the provision of installation space 128 allows the reinforcement structure 130 to avoid the second limiting portion. In some embodiments, the second limiting portion can abut the first limiting surface 122, thereby limiting the movement of the wire stop structure 100 relative to the target housing 200 in the direction of the first limiting surface 122, thereby improving the installation stability of the wire stop structure 100 on the target housing 200. In some embodiments, the second limiting portion can abut the second limiting surface 135, thereby limiting the movement of the wire stop structure 100 relative to the target housing 200 in the direction of the second limiting surface 135, thereby improving the installation stability of the wire stop structure 100 on the target housing 200.

[0052] Furthermore, the direction facing the first limiting surface 122 is the first direction D1 , and the direction facing the second limiting surface 135 is the second direction D2 .

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the base 121 includes a second connecting portion 123 and two fixing portions 124. The second connecting portion 123 is connected between the two fixing portions 124. The cable body 110 passes through the second connecting portion 123 along the first direction D1. The two fixing portions 124 are respectively configured to be fixed to the target housing 200.

[0054] That is, the two fixing portions 124 can limit the second connection portion 123 from both sides thereof, thereby fixing the second connection portion 123 to the target housing 200. Furthermore, along the second direction D2, the second connection portion 123 is connected between the two fixing portions 124.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a side wall of the limiting groove 127 may be located at one of the two fixing portions 124, and the first limiting surface 122 may be located at the other of the two fixing portions 124. Furthermore, a side wall of the limiting groove 127 may be parallel to the first limiting surface 122 and face the same direction.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the two fixing portions 124 include at least one fixing hole 125 extending along a third direction D3, for a fixing screw to pass through the fixing hole 125. The third direction D3 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2.

[0057] The fixing screws can connect the wire stop structure 100 and the target housing 200, so that the wire stop structure 100 can be fixed relative to the target housing 200. Because the third direction D3 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, respectively, and the cable body 110 extends along the first direction D1 or the second direction D2, the fixing screws and the connecting parts of the fixing screws can avoid interference with the cable body 110.

[0058] In some embodiments, the wire stop structure 100 is squeezed by the fixing screws and deformed laterally, so that the wire stop structure 100 is pressed against the inner wall of the target housing 200. In this way, the fixing screws can be fixed to the target housing 200 by avoiding the thin wall of the target housing 200 and squeezing the wire stop structure 100, which can reduce the risk of damage to the thin wall of the target housing 200 and improve the appearance of the target housing 200.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, cable body 110 includes at least two conductors 111 and a skin layer 112. The at least two conductors 111 pass through base 121 and reinforcement structure 130. Skin layer 112 wraps around a portion of the circumference of the at least two conductors 111, thereby forming a wrapped section 113 with skin layer 112 and an exposed section 114 lacking skin layer 112 on cable body 110. A wire guide 120 wraps around the exposed section 114 and is connected to the at least two conductors 111.

[0060] When cable body 110 is subjected to tension, conductor 111 and outer layer 112 each bear a portion of the force. Conductor 111, at exposed section 114, is directly connected to cable guide 120. This allows conductor 111 to transmit the force to cable guide 120 without passing through outer layer 112, reducing the load on outer layer 112 and the risk of tearing.

[0061] In some embodiments, the exposed section 114 is partially located in the base 121 and partially located in the reinforcement structure 130. In other embodiments, the exposed section 114 may not be disposed in the base 121. In other embodiments, the exposed section 114 may not be disposed in the reinforcement structure 130.

[0062] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wire stop 120 wraps a portion of the exposed section 114 in an integrally formed manner, thereby being connected to at least two wires 111 .

[0063] For example, the wire stop 120 is wrapped around a portion of the exposed section 114 by injection molding and is connected to at least two wires 111. In this way, a sealed connection between the wire stop 120 and the exposed section 114 can be achieved, and the manufacturing process can be simplified.

[0064] In other embodiments, the wire stop 120 wraps the partially exposed section 114 by elastic abutment or glue connection, and is connected to at least two wires 111 .

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the exposed section 114 is at least partially located within the reinforcement structure 130 , and the reinforcement structure 130 is fixedly connected to at least two conductive wires 111 .

[0066] Such a setting can increase the connection area between the at least two wires 111 and the wire stop 120, thereby increasing the bonding force between the at least two wires 111 and the wire stop 120, and can effectively reduce the risk of separation of the at least two wires 111 and the wire stop 120 when subjected to external forces, thereby strengthening the protective effect and fixing effect of the wire stop 120 on the at least two wires 111.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the exposed section 114 extends from the reinforcement structure 130 to the outside and is connected to the external connection terminal 300. It should be noted that the outside here refers to the outside of the wire stop structure 100.

[0068] Since the exposed section 114 is not constrained by the skin layer 112 , the at least two wires 111 can be dispersed in the exposed section 114 , thereby facilitating the connection of the at least two wires 111 to the connection terminals 300 during the assembly process.

[0069] Furthermore, the portion of the exposed section 114 extending from the reinforcement structure 130 can be located inside the target housing 200, and the connection terminal 300 can also be located inside the target housing 200. The cable body 110 can be connected to the electrical components inside the target housing 200 via the connection terminal 300. In this case, although the exposed section 114 is not blocked by the skin layer 112, it does not affect the appearance of the electronic device 1.

[0070] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the wire stop 120 also wraps part of the wrapping section 113 in an integrally formed manner, thereby being fixedly connected to the skin layer 112 .

[0071] For example, the wire stop 120 is wrapped around a portion of the wrapping section 113 by injection molding and is connected to the skin layer 112. In this way, a sealed connection between the wire stop 120 and the wrapping section 113 can be achieved, and the process can be simplified. In the wrapping section 113, the skin layer 112 can constrain and protect at least two wires 111. The skin layer 112 and the at least two wires 111 can be fixedly connected to the wire stop 120 respectively. When the cable body 110 is subjected to external forces, the skin layer 112 and the at least two wires 111 can respectively bear part of the forces and transmit the forces to the wire stop 120 respectively, which is beneficial to reduce the occurrence of stress concentration on the cable body 110.

[0072] Furthermore, the portion of the wrapped section 113 extending from the wire stop 120 may be located outside the target shell 200 . At this time, outside the target shell 200 , the surface layer 112 may shield at least two wires 111 , which is beneficial to improving the appearance of the electronic device 1 .

[0073] In other embodiments, the wire stop 120 wraps a portion of the wrapping section 113 by elastic abutment or by glue connection, and is connected to the skin layer 112 .

[0074] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, one side of the base 121 is connected to the reinforcement structure 130, and the other side of the base 121 includes an exterior surface 126. The wrapping section 113 extends from the outside through the exterior surface 126 into the base 121. The wire stop 120 is connected to the exterior surface 126 and the skin layer 112 by injection molding.

[0075] With such a configuration, the base 121 can be connected to the skin layer 112 as a whole, which is beneficial for sealing between the base 121 and the skin layer 112 and can also improve the appearance of the electronic device 1 .

[0076] In some embodiments, the shape of the appearance surface 126 is adapted to the outer surface of the target shell 200, so that when the wire stop structure 100 is assembled to the target shell 200, the appearance surface 126 forms a smooth transition with the outer surface of the target shell 200, thereby making the appearance lines of the target shell 200 and the wire stop structure 100 simple and unified.

[0077] Furthermore, a gap exists between the exterior surface 126 and the outer surface of the target housing 200. This configuration increases the processing tolerance range of the wire stop structure 100 and the target housing 200, facilitating processing and assembly. For example, the width of the gap between the exterior surface 126 and the outer surface of the target housing 200 ranges from 0.08 mm to 0.12 mm.

[0078] In some embodiments, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the length L1 of the portion of the wrapping section 113 extending from the exterior surface 126 to the interior of the wire guide 120 is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

[0079] That is, the length L1 of the portion of the skin layer 112 extending from the exterior surface 126 to the inside of the line stop 120 is greater than or equal to 5 mm.

[0080] In some embodiments, the skin layer 112 extends from the exterior surface 126 to the base 121 and then terminates. In other embodiments, the skin layer 112 extends from the exterior surface 126 to the base 121 and then further extends into the reinforcement structure 130 .

[0081] In some embodiments, wire guard 120 is made of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), or a mixture of TPE and PP (polypropylene). The sheaths of at least two wires 111 are made of PP, or a mixture of PP and TPE. Skin layer 112 is made of TPE, or a mixture of TPE and PP. Wire 111 may include a conductor and a sheath wrapped around the conductor.

[0082] The material of the wire stop 120, the material of the skin of the conductor 111 and the material of the skin layer 112 are set in this way. On the one hand, the wire stop 120, the skin of the conductor 111 and the skin layer 112 have good mechanical strength. On the other hand, the wire stop 120 and the skin of the conductor 111 and the wire stop 120 and the skin layer 112 can have good bonding strength, thereby improving the service life of the wire stop structure 100.

[0083] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, electronic device 1 includes a housing, a cable 10, and an electrical component. The housing includes a receiving space 203. Cable 10 has the aforementioned wire stop structure 100, with a wire stop 120 fixedly connected to the housing. The electrical component is disposed within receiving space 203 and connected to the cable body 110.

[0084] The housing can be configured as the target housing 200 described above. Specifically, the housing includes a connected housing body 210 and a housing cover 220, with the housing cover 220 covering the opening of the housing body 210. The wire stop 120 can be disposed at the connection between the housing body 210 and the housing cover 220 and clamped by the housing body 210 and the housing cover 220. The housing body 210 and the housing cover 220 are configured to be detachably connected. During assembly, the wire stop structure 100 can first be assembled to the housing body 210, and then the housing body 210 and the housing cover 220 can be connected using fixing screws.

[0085] In some embodiments, the wire stop 120 is sealed and connected to the housing by elastic abutment. In other embodiments, the wire stop 120 is sealed and connected to the housing by integral molding or by glue.

[0086] In some embodiments, the electrical device can be connected to the power source through the cable body 110 so that the power source supplies power to the electronic device 1 .

[0087] In some embodiments, the electrical device can transmit data to the outside world through the cable body 110 .

[0088] The cable 10 may include the aforementioned connection terminal 300 . The connection terminal 300 is located in the accommodation space 203 , and the electrical device may be connected to the cable body 110 via the connection terminal 300 .

[0089] In summary, the wire stop structure 100 provided in this specification can cooperate with the target housing 200, thereby playing a positioning role. The cable body 110 is partially bent inside the reinforcement structure 130, so that the cable body 110 can adjust its own extension direction so that the extension direction of the cable body 110 is compatible with the structure of the target housing 200 and the structure of other parts of the electronic device 1. The presence of the reinforcement structure 130 can increase the connection area between the cable body 110 and the wire stop 120, thereby increasing the bonding force between the cable body 110 and the wire stop 120. In this way, the risk of the cable body 110 and the wire stop 120 separating from each other when subjected to external forces can be effectively reduced, and the probability of mechanical damage to the wire stop structure 100 can be reduced, thereby improving the service life of the wire stop structure 100. The outer shape of the reinforcement structure 130 is bent as the cable body 110 is bent, which can reduce the material used for the reinforcement structure 130 and also reduce the space occupied by the reinforcement structure 130 on the target housing 200.
