[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a cable reel 100 , which is mainly used in electronic components. The cable reel 100 includes a housing 110 , a cable reel 120 , a data cable 130 , an elastic member 140 , and a damping member 150 .

[0045] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 110 has a receiving cavity 113, and the reel 120 is axially rotatably disposed in the receiving cavity 113. The data cable 130 is wound around the reel 120, with one end of the data cable 130 connected to the reel 120 and the other end passing through the housing 110 and disposed outside the housing 110.

[0046] The elastic member 140 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 113 and is respectively connected to the housing 110 and the wire pulley 120 . The damping member 150 is rotatably disposed in the accommodating cavity 113 and abuts against an outer wall of the data cable 130 .

[0047] The cable reel 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a housing 110 with a receiving cavity 113, a reel 120 rotatably arranged in the receiving cavity 113, a data cable 130 wound on the reel 120, and one end of the data cable 130 is connected to the reel 120, and the other end is passed through the housing 110 and arranged outside the housing 110, and an elastic member 140 is arranged in the receiving cavity 113 and connected to the housing 110 and the reel 120 respectively. In this way, when the user pulls the data cable 130 arranged outside the housing 110, the reel 120 can be driven to rotate counterclockwise to release the data cable 130, thereby stretching the data cable 130 for electrical connection with the electronic device. During this process, one end of the elastic member 140 is fixedly connected to the housing 110, and the other end is connected to the reel 120 and rotates synchronously with the reel 120 counterclockwise to generate a reset elastic force. When the user or the electronic device releases the data cable 130 , the reel 120 automatically rotates clockwise and resets under the action of the resetting elastic force of the elastic member 140 , so that the data cable 130 is automatically retracted, thereby realizing the automatic storage function of the data cable 130 .

[0048] At the same time, by rotatably arranging the damping member 150 in the accommodating cavity 113 and abutting against the outer wall of the data cable 130, the rolling friction between the damping member 150 and the outer wall of the data cable 130 can be used to decelerate the data cable 130 during the automatic retraction of the data cable 130, thereby reducing the probability of causing rebound injuries to the user, effectively improving the user experience, and avoiding the technical problem in the prior art that the data cable reel retracts too quickly when the data cable retracts, which easily causes rebound injuries to the user and leads to great inconvenience in use.

[0049] For example, the elastic member 140 may be a coil spring.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the cable reel 100 also includes a rotating member 160, the housing 110 is provided with a mounting hole 114 adapted to the rotating member 160, the end of the rotating member 160 is arranged in the mounting hole 114, and the damping member 150 is sleeved on the rotating member 160 and abuts against the outer wall of the data cable 130.

[0051] In this embodiment, a mounting hole 114 compatible with the rotating member 160 is opened on the housing 110, the end of the rotating member 160 is set in the mounting hole 114, and the damping member 150 is sleeved on the rotating member 160. In this way, the damping member 150 is stably installed in the accommodating cavity 113 of the housing 110 through the rotating member 160, thereby ensuring the rotational stability of the damping member 150, and further ensuring the deceleration effect of the data cable 130 during the automatic retraction of the data cable 130.

[0052] For example, the rotating member 160 may be a rotating shaft.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the above embodiment of the present application, the housing 110 includes a shell 111 and a cover body 112, the cover body 112 is covered on the shell 111 to define the accommodating cavity 113, the mounting hole 114 includes a first sub-mounting hole 1141 and a second sub-mounting hole 1142, the shell 111 is provided with the first sub-mounting hole 1141, and the cover body 112 is provided with the second sub-mounting hole 1142, one end of the rotating member 160 is provided in the first sub-mounting hole 1141, and the other end is provided in the second sub-mounting hole 1142.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cover 112 is placed on the housing 111, which not only facilitates the formation of the accommodating chamber 113 but also facilitates the installation, removal, repair, and replacement of the reel 120, data cable 130, elastic member 140, damping member 150, and rotating member 160. By respectively defining a first sub-mounting hole 1141 and a second sub-mounting hole 1142 in the housing 111 and the cover 112, and respectively positioning the ends of the rotating member 160 in the first sub-mounting hole 1141 and the second sub-mounting hole 1142, the rotating member 160 is stably positioned within the accommodating chamber 113, thereby enabling the damping member 150 mounted on the rotating member 160 to rotate smoothly within the accommodating chamber 113, thereby ensuring a deceleration effect on the data cable 130 during its automatic retraction.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, at least two damping members 150 are provided, and the two damping members 150 are spaced apart along the inner circumference of the housing 110 .

[0056] In this embodiment, by setting the number of damping members 150 to at least two and arranging the two damping members 150 at intervals along the inner circumference of the shell 110, the rolling friction force on the data cable 130 can be further improved, thereby further improving the deceleration effect of the data cable 130 during the automatic retraction process of the data cable 130, thereby further reducing the probability of causing rebound injuries to the user, and further improving the user experience.

[0057] For example, the number of the damping members 150 may be two, three or more, and may be specifically designed according to the actual needs of the product, which will not be listed here one by one.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the damping member 150 is made of rubber or silicone material and is integrally molded.

[0059] In this embodiment, the damping member 150 is integrally molded from rubber or silicone. This, on the one hand, further increases the rolling friction on the data cable 130, thereby further improving the deceleration effect on the data cable 130 during its automatic retraction, further reducing the probability of bouncing injuries to the user and further improving the user experience. Furthermore, the rubber or silicone damping member 150 reduces the probability of scratching or marring the data cable 130, thereby ensuring the product's lifespan and aesthetics.

[0060] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, a first clamping portion 115 is provided on the housing 110 , and a second clamping portion 141 that cooperates with the first clamping portion 115 is provided at one end of the elastic member 140 .

[0061] In this embodiment, a first clamping portion 115 is provided on the housing 110, and a second clamping portion 141 is provided at one end of the elastic member 140 to cooperate with the first clamping portion 115. In this way, when the user pulls the data cable 130 provided outside the housing 110 to drive the pulley 120 to rotate counterclockwise to release the data cable 130, under the clamping action of the second clamping portion 141 and the first clamping portion 115, one end of the elastic member 140 having the second clamping portion 141 is clamped and fixed to the first clamping portion 115 of the housing 110.

[0062] For example, the first engaging portion 115 can be a slot, and the second engaging portion 141 can be a protrusion that matches the slot. The first engaging portion 115 can also be a protrusion, and the second engaging portion 141 can be a slot that matches the protrusion.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, in the above embodiment of the present application, a third clamping portion 121 is provided on the wire wheel 120 , and a fourth clamping portion 142 cooperating with the third clamping portion 121 is provided at one end of the elastic member 140 away from the first clamping portion 115 .

[0064] In this embodiment, a third clamping portion 121 is provided on the pulley 120, and a fourth clamping portion 142 cooperating with the third clamping portion 121 is provided at one end of the elastic member 140 away from the first clamping portion 115. In this way, when the user pulls the data cable 130 arranged outside the shell 110 to drive the pulley 120 to rotate counterclockwise to release the data cable 130, under the clamping action of the second clamping portion 141 and the first clamping portion 115, the end of the elastic member 140 having the second clamping portion 141 is clamped and fixed to the first clamping portion 115 of the shell 110. At the same time, under the clamping action of the fourth clamping portion 142 and the third clamping portion 121, the end of the elastic member 140 having the fourth clamping portion 142 rotates synchronously counterclockwise with the pulley 120 to generate a reset elastic force.

[0065] Furthermore, when the user or the electronic device releases the data cable 130 , the reel 120 is driven to automatically rotate clockwise and reset under the action of the resetting elastic force of the elastic member 140 , so that the data cable 130 is automatically retracted, thereby realizing the automatic storage function of the data cable 130 .

[0066] For example, the third engaging portion 121 can be a protrusion, and the fourth engaging portion 142 can be a slot that matches the protrusion. The third engaging portion 121 can also be a slot, and the fourth engaging portion 142 can be a protrusion that matches the slot.

[0068] In this embodiment, by fixedly connecting one end of the data cable 130 to the reel 120 and electrically connecting it to the first connector 170, and providing a second connector 131 at the end of the data cable 130 away from the first connector 170, the first electronic device can be electrically connected to the second electronic device through the cable receiver 100, thereby realizing data transmission between the electronic devices.
