[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 A USB data cable for automobiles includes a cable retractor 1, which houses an extension data cable 2. The cable retractor 1 is also connected to a connecting cable with a plug attached to it, which is not shown in the figure.

[0023] Three data connection cables 3, each with a different data plug connected to its end, are shown in the figure.

[0024] All of the above are existing technologies.

[0025] The connection mechanism is capable of detaching and connecting the three data connection cables 3 to the extension data cable 2. The connection mechanism includes a female connector 4 connected to the extension data cable 2. The female connector 4 is provided with a USB slot 7 connected to the extension data cable 2. The female connector 4 is provided with a connection groove 6, and the USB slot 7 is disposed in the connection groove 6.

[0026] Three data connection lines 3 are fixed with male connectors 5, and male connectors 5 are fixed with connecting blocks 11. Connecting blocks 11 slide against the inner wall of connecting grooves 6. The end of connecting blocks 11 can be chamfered so that it can cooperate with the arc-shaped limiting protrusions 9 to reduce resistance during movement.

[0027] The connecting block 11 is equipped with a USB plug 10 that connects to three data connection cables 3 and mates with a USB slot 7. When the USB plug 10 is inserted into the USB slot 7, it can lock the connecting block 11 and the connecting female head 4 together. The inner wall of the connecting groove 6 is fixed with two limiting protrusions 9. The limiting protrusions 9 are arc-shaped and are integrally formed with the connecting female head 4. The outer wall of the connecting block 11 is provided with two strip grooves 12.

[0028] To facilitate the connection between the male connector 5 and the female connector 4, the female connector 4 is provided with two sets of deformation grooves. The deformation grooves include two through grooves 8 that pass through the female connector 4 and communicate with the connecting groove 6. The through grooves 8 are located on both sides of the limiting protrusion 9. In this way, the female connector 4 can be divided into parts, giving it a certain deformation capability.

[0029] When the USB plug 10 is inserted into the USB slot 7, the connecting block 11 slides against the inner wall of the connecting groove 6. As the connecting block 11 moves, it abuts against the limiting protrusion 9. Under the pressure of the connecting block 11, the limiting protrusion 9 and the divided connecting female head 4 open outward, which makes it easy to install the connecting block 11 in the connecting groove 6. When the USB plug 10 is inserted into the USB slot 7, the limiting protrusion 9 is located in the strip groove 12, which can connect the connecting male head 5 and the connecting female head 4 together, ensuring the stability of the connection between the two.

[0030] Pull the male connector 5 and the female connector 4 in opposite directions to disengage the limiting protrusion 9 from the strip groove 12. This allows you to change the required male connector 5 and the corresponding data cable 3 color, making the disassembly and assembly operation simple and convenient.

[0031] As mentioned above, even if the data cable 3 is damaged, it can be separated from the cable box 1, and the data cable 3 can be disassembled, reducing the cost of replacement.

[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
