Due to its compact size and portability, USB flash drives are widely used. However, existing USB flash drives lack the functionality necessary for everyday gadgets (such as window breakers and screwdrivers). This makes it difficult for people to find the tools they need, a significant inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional USB flash drive structure that integrates functional components without affecting the original functions of the USB flash drive, so as to expand the scope of application of the USB flash drive and facilitate its use.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a multifunctional U disk structure, including

[0005] a housing, wherein one end of the housing is provided with an opening communicating with the interior thereof;

[0006] A USB flash drive body, the USB flash drive body being built into the housing and having a USB interface at one end thereof facing the opening;

[0007] a driving member, the driving member being mounted on the housing and capable of driving the USB flash drive body to slide along the housing so as to extend the USB interface along the opening or retract it into the housing;

[0008] The functional component is installed on the end of the driving component away from the USB flash drive body.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the multifunctional USB disk structure of the utility model are:

[0010] The driving member drives the USB flash drive body to slide in the shell, so that the USB interface can be extended or retracted from the opening. When the USB interface is not in use, the USB interface is retracted into the shell to protect the USB interface. When the USB interface is in use, the USB interface is extended out of the shell to ensure that the USB interface can be inserted into the computer. This arrangement can effectively increase the service life of the USB interface. By arranging functional parts on the driving member, it does not affect the normal use of the USB interface and can give the USB flash drive structure new functions, thereby expanding the scope of application and convenience of use of the USB flash drive structure.

[0011] Specifically, the driving member includes a sliding seat, a threaded shaft, and a knob shaft. The sliding seat is slidably disposed within the housing, with one end connected to the USB flash drive body and the other end threadedly connected to the threaded shaft. The knob shaft abuts the end of the housing away from the opening, and the knob shaft and the threaded shaft are coaxially fixedly connected. During use, rotating the knob shaft drives the threaded shaft to rotate synchronously, and the threaded connection between the threaded shaft and the sliding seat enables linear movement of the sliding seat within the housing, thereby achieving linear movement of the USB flash drive body and the USB port.

[0012] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a housing slot that matches the shape of the sliding seat. An annular protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the housing slot, facing away from the opening. The threaded shaft and knob shaft abut against either side of the annular protrusion via gaskets. The annular protrusions can be positioned within the housing to control the position of the threaded shaft and knob shaft. During assembly, the threaded shaft and knob shaft can be installed into the housing from either end.

[0013] Furthermore, a guide protrusion is provided on an inner wall of the shell through slot near the opening, and a guide through slot for the USB interface to pass through is formed on the guide protrusion to guide the movement of the USB interface.

[0014] Furthermore, the sliding seat includes a seat body, one end of which is provided with a connecting column for the USB flash drive body to be buckled, and the other end of which is provided with a threaded groove for the threaded shaft to be connected.

[0015] Furthermore, the knob shaft includes a shaft body, a shaft through groove is provided at the axis center of the shaft body, and a limiting boss capable of abutting against the threaded shaft is integrally provided in the shaft through groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the knob shaft and the threaded shaft are fixedly connected by screws.

[0017] Furthermore, the functional component is detachably connected to the knob shaft, and the functional component is a window breaker or a screwdriver. Window breakers and screwdrivers are both commonly used small tools, such as those used to break windows in times of distress. The detachable connection between the functional component and the knob shaft allows for replacement of different tools based on actual needs.

[0018] Furthermore, the invention further comprises an end cap covering the functional part, the end cap being detachably connected to the knob shaft via a snap-fit ​​structure. The end cap can protect the functional part, and when the functional part is needed, the end cap can be removed from the knob shaft.

[0019] Furthermore, a first identification member is provided on the surface of the knob shaft, and a second identification member is provided on the end cap. When the first identification member is aligned with the second identification member, the snap-fit ​​structure is in a released state. The provision of the first and second identification members can define the position at which the end cap can be removed from the knob shaft, thereby preventing accidental removal.

[0020] Furthermore, the housing is provided with an indicator light which can light up when the USB interface is plugged into a device such as a computer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more precise definition of the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] Example

[0036] See attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a multifunctional USB flash drive structure comprising a housing 1, a USB flash drive body 2, a driver 3, and a functional component 4. The housing 1 has an opening 11 at one end thereof, communicating with the interior thereof. The USB flash drive body 2 is built into the housing 1, and a USB port 21 is integrally provided on the end thereof facing the opening 11. The driver 3 is mounted on the end of the housing 1 away from the opening 11. The driver 3 can drive the USB flash drive body 2 to slide along the housing 1, thereby extending or retracting the USB port 21 along the opening 11 into the housing 1. The functional component 4 is mounted on the end of the driver 3 away from the USB flash drive body 2.

[0037] The driver 3 drives the USB flash drive body 2 to slide within the housing 1, allowing the USB port 21 to extend or retract from the opening 11. When the USB port 21 is not in use, it retracts into the housing 1 to protect it. When it is needed, it extends outside the housing 1 to ensure it can be plugged into a computer. This arrangement effectively increases the lifespan of the USB port 21. Furthermore, by providing a functional component 4 on the driver 3, the normal operation of the USB port 21 is preserved while providing new functionality to the USB flash drive structure, thereby expanding its applicability and ease of use. For example, the functional component 4 can be a commonly used small tool such as a window breaker or a screwdriver.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 3-4 As shown, the housing 1 has a housing slot 12. A guide protrusion 13 is provided on the inner wall of the housing slot 12 near the opening 11. The guide protrusion 13 defines a guide slot for the USB port 21 to pass through. The guide protrusion 13 and the guide slot guide the movement of the USB port 21, allowing it to smoothly enter and exit the opening 11.

[0039] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 5-6As shown, the driving member 3 includes a sliding seat 31, a threaded shaft 32, and a knob shaft 33. The sliding seat 31 is adapted to the shape of the housing through slot 12 and can slide along the housing through slot 12. One end of the sliding seat 31 is connected to the USB flash drive body 2, and the other end is threadedly connected to the threaded shaft 32. The knob shaft 33 abuts the end of the housing 1 away from the opening 11, and the knob shaft 33 is coaxially connected to the threaded shaft 32. During use, rotating the knob shaft 32 can drive the threaded shaft 32 to rotate synchronously, and then the threaded connection between the threaded shaft 32 and the sliding seat 31 can achieve linear movement of the sliding seat 31 within the housing 1, thereby achieving linear movement of the USB flash drive body 2 and the USB interface 21.

[0040] Specifically, the sliding seat 31 includes a seat body, one end of which is provided with at least one connecting column 311 for the USB flash drive body 2 to be buckled, and the other end is provided with a threaded groove for the threaded shaft 32 to be connected. The USB flash drive body 2 is provided with buckle grooves 22 corresponding to the connecting columns 311. During assembly, the USB flash drive body 2 is buckled onto the seat body from top to bottom, and the connecting columns 311 can be buckled into the corresponding buckle grooves 22. It should be noted that the buckling direction of the USB flash drive body 2 and the sliding seat 31 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the sliding seat 31, so as to ensure that when the sliding seat 31 drives the USB flash drive body 2 to move synchronously, the connecting column 311 will not be disengaged from the buckle groove 22.

[0041] In some embodiments, an annular protrusion 14 is provided on the inner wall of the housing through-slot 12, away from the opening 11. The threaded shaft 32 and the knob shaft 33 abut against either side of the annular protrusion 14 via gaskets 34. The annular protrusion 14 defines the position of the threaded shaft 32 and the knob shaft 33 within the housing 1. During assembly, the threaded shaft 32 and the knob shaft 33 can be installed into the housing 1 from either end, simplifying assembly.

[0042] In some embodiments, the knob shaft 33 includes a shaft body having a shaft slot formed at its axis. A stop boss 331 is integrally disposed within the shaft slot, capable of abutting against the threaded shaft 32. Furthermore, the knob shaft 33 and the threaded shaft 32 can be fixedly connected via a screw 35. For example, the screw 35 is inserted into the shaft slot and can be threaded onto the threaded shaft 32, with the nut of the screw 35 abutting against the stop boss 331. When the shaft body rotates, the screw 35 rotates synchronously, thereby driving the threaded shaft 32 to rotate synchronously. At this time, because the sliding seat 31 is limited by the housing slot 12, when the threaded shaft 32 rotates, the sliding seat 31 can only convert the spiral motion of the threaded shaft 32 into its own linear motion.

[0043] In some embodiments, the functional member 4 is detachably connected to the knob shaft 33. For example, the functional member 4 can be threadedly connected in the shaft through groove.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Appendix Figure 6-7 As shown, the end of the knob shaft 33, away from the USB flash drive body 2, is also fitted with an end cap 5 that can be mounted on the functional component 4. The end cap 5 is detachably connected to the knob shaft 33 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism. For example, a latch block 51 is provided on the inner sidewall of the end cap 5, and a slot that matches the latch block 51 is provided on the outer sidewall of the knob shaft 33. When the end cap 5 is fitted onto the knob shaft 33, rotating the end cap 5 causes the latch block 51 to engage with the slot.

[0045] When the functional component 4 is needed, the end cap 5 is rotated to remove the locking block 51 from the slot. At this point, the end cap 5 can be pulled off the knob shaft 33. Furthermore, to prevent the end cap 5 from becoming disengaged from the knob shaft 33 (i.e., the locking block leaving the slot) due to misoperation, in some embodiments, a first identification member 332 is provided on the surface of the knob shaft 33, and a second identification member 52 is provided on the end cap 5. When the first identification member 332 is aligned with the second identification member 52, the locking block 51 is located outside the slot. At this point, the locking structure is in a disengaged state, and the end cap 5 can be pulled off the knob shaft 33. When the functional component 4 is no longer needed, the end cap 5 can be simply rotated to a position where the second identification member 52 is no longer aligned with the first identification member 332.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the rotation of the knob shaft 33 and the end cap 5 , anti-slip patterns are provided on the surfaces of the knob shaft 33 and the end cap 5 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a detachably connected upper housing 15 and a lower housing 16, wherein the upper housing 15 and the lower housing 16 jointly form a housing through slot 12. The split design of the housing 1 facilitates assembly of components.

[0048] In some embodiments, an indicator light is provided on the housing 1. When the USB interface is plugged into a device such as a computer, the indicator light can light up.

[0049] The above implementation methods are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model. Its purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it. It cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the utility model.
