[0015] Optionally, the first limiting structure includes two limiting grooves disposed on the inner sidewall of the connecting arm, the two limiting grooves being spaced apart vertically. In the stored state, the limiting card protrusion is inserted into one of the two limiting grooves, and in the used state, the limiting card protrusion is inserted into the other of the two limiting grooves.
[0016] Optionally, the surface of the second connector is provided with an anti-slip portion.

[0029] This utility model proposes an all-in-one data cable.
[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the all-in-one data cable includes a data cable body 10 and an adapter 20.
[0031] Specifically, the data cable body 10 includes a connecting wire 11, a first connecting base 12, and a first connector 13. The first connector 13 is located at one end of the first connecting base 12, and the connecting wire 11 is located at the other end of the first connecting base 12 and is electrically connected to the first connector 13.
[0032] The adapter 20 includes a second connector 21 and a second connector 22. The second connector 22 is located on the second connector 21 and has a connection interface extending from one end of the second connector 21 and an adapter interface facing away from the connection interface. The adapter interface is adapted to the first connector 13. Specifically, when the first connector 13 is a Type-C male connector, the adapter interface is a Type-C female connector.
[0033] The second connecting seat 21 has connecting arms 211 on the side of the adapter. The connecting arms 211 are located on the side of the second connecting seat 21 and extend in a direction away from the second connecting seat 21. One of the inner side wall of the connecting arm 211 and the outer side of the first connecting seat 12 is provided with a sliding groove 123, and the other is provided with a locking protrusion 213. That is to say, the sliding groove 123 can be provided on the inner side wall of the connecting arm 211 or on the outer side of the first connecting seat 12. Of course, the locking protrusion 213 is also provided in the same way.
[0034] The cam 213 is slidably installed in the slide groove 123 and can rotate relative to the slide groove 123. The slide groove 123 is elongated, that is, the adapter 20 can slide relative to the first connecting seat 12 via the connecting arm 211 and can rotate relative to the first connecting seat 12. The adapter 20 has a use state and a storage state. In the use state, the adapter interface is inserted into the first connector 13. In the storage state, the second connector 22 is located on the side of the first connecting seat 12 away from the first connector 13.
[0035] When using the multi-in-one data cable 11 of this application, if the interface of the electronic device is compatible with the second connector 22, the user can plug the adapter into the first connector 13, so that the user can connect to the electronic device through the second connector 22 to perform charging, data transmission and other tasks.
[0036] After the data cable is used, the user can apply a pulling force to the adapter 20 to disengage the first connector 13 from the adapter interface, then rotate the adapter 20 and slide it away from the first connector 13. Once the adapter 20 is away from the first connector 13, rotate it towards the connecting cable 11 to house the first connecting seat 12 on the side opposite to the first connector 13. In this state, the connecting arm 211 is approximately parallel to the first connecting seat 12, thus preventing damage to the connecting arm 211 if the adapter 20 collides with or is squeezed by other structures. Optionally, a damping pad is provided between the outer side of the latch 213 and the groove wall of the slide 123 to prevent the adapter 20 from rotating easily.
[0037] For example, the first connector 13 and the second connector 22 may have different model numbers. For instance, when the first connector 13 is Type-C, the second connector 22 may be Type-A, Lightning, Micro-B, etc., depending on the specific requirements.
[0038] The present invention provides a technical solution by placing a first connector 13 at one end of a first connecting seat 12, placing a connecting wire 11 at the other end of the first connecting seat 12 and electrically connecting it to the first connector 13, and setting an adapter 20 as a second connecting seat 21 and a second connector 22. The second connector 22 is placed on the second connecting seat 21 and has a connecting interface extending from one end of the second connecting seat 21 and an adapter interface facing away from the connecting interface. The adapter interface is adapted to the first connector 13. The second connecting seat 21 has a connecting arm 211 on the side of the adapter interface. One of the connecting arm 211 and the first connecting seat 12 has a sliding groove 123, and the other has a locking protrusion 213 that is slidably installed in the sliding groove 123 and can rotate relative to the sliding groove 123. The adapter 20 has a use state and a storage state. In the use state, the adapter interface is inserted into the first connector 13. In the storage state, the second connector 22 is located on the side of the first connecting seat 12 away from the first connector 13. In this way, when the interface of the electronic device is compatible with the second connector 22, the user can plug the adapter into the first connector 13, thus connecting to the electronic device through the second connector 22 for charging, data transfer, and other functions. When the interface of the electronic device is compatible with the first connector 13, the user can move the adapter 20 to the side of the first connector 12 away from the first connector 13 for storage. At this time, the connecting arm 211 is roughly parallel to the first connector 12, so that the structure of the connecting arm 211 will not be damaged when the adapter 20 collides with or is squeezed by other structures, thus improving the connection stability between the adapter 20 and the first connector 12.
[0039] In some embodiments, the first connecting seat 12 includes a connecting portion 121 and a mounting portion 122 that are integrally connected and disposed vertically. A first connector 13 is disposed at one end of the mounting portion 122, and a connecting wire 11 is disposed at the end of the connecting portion 121 away from the first connector 13. A second limiting portion is provided on the side of the mounting portion 122 opposite to the second connector 22. The first limiting portion and the second limiting portion cooperate to limit the adapter 20 in a stored state. Specifically, in the limited state, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion cooperate to limit the adapter 20 on the side of the first connecting seat 12 opposite to the first connector 13, preventing the adapter 20 from detaching and improving the storage stability of the adapter 20.
[0040] Furthermore, the first limiting part includes a limiting protrusion 125 protruding from the surface of the first connecting seat 12, and the second limiting part includes a limiting groove. In the retracted state, the limiting protrusion 125 is embedded in the limiting groove. That is, in the limiting state, the limiting protrusion 125 and the limiting groove mutually limit and cooperate to restrict the adapter 20 to the side of the first connecting seat 12 away from the first connector 13. The structure is relatively simple, which helps to simplify the overall structure of the adapter 20 and the first connecting seat 12 and reduce the manufacturing difficulty. Of course, in other embodiments, the first limiting part includes a hook, and the second limiting part includes a buckle, with the hook and buckle engaging in a snap-fit relationship.
[0041] In some embodiments, the second connector 21 is provided with connecting arms 211 on opposite sides of the adapter; the two connecting arms 211 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the second connector 21.
[0042] That is, the second connector 21 is connected to the first connector 12 through two connecting arms 211. This arrangement helps to improve the connection stability between the adapter 20 and the first connector 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the second connector 21 has connecting arms 211 on only one side of the adapter interface.
[0043] In some embodiments, a latching protrusion 213 is provided on the connecting arm 211, and a sliding groove 123 is provided on the first connecting seat 12. The latching protrusion 213 has a guide slope on the side away from the connecting arm 211, and the guide slope gradually extends in an inclined direction away from the connecting arm 211 in a direction away from the second connecting seat 21.
[0044] Specifically, during assembly, the guide slope acts as a guide when installing the adapter 20, reducing the friction between the latching protrusion 213 and the side wall of the first connecting seat 12, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the adapter 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the side of the latching protrusion 213 facing away from the connecting arm 211 is flat.
[0045] In some embodiments, the second connecting seat 21 and the connecting arm 211 are integrally formed. It is understood that the integral forming process has high production efficiency, high structural strength, and also helps to reduce production costs. Of course, the design of this application is not limited to this; in other embodiments, the connecting arm 211 can be connected to the second connecting seat 21 by means of bonding, snap-fitting, fastening with fasteners, etc.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first connecting seat 12 is provided with a first limiting structure, and the inner sidewall of the connecting arm 211 is provided with a second limiting structure. In the retracted state, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure cooperate to limit the adapter 20 to the side of the first connecting seat 12 away from the first connector 13.
[0047] Specifically, in the limited position state, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure cooperate with each other to restrict the adapter 20 to the side of the first connecting seat 12 away from the first connector 13, preventing the adapter 20 from detaching and improving the storage stability of the adapter 20.
[0048] In some embodiments, the second limiting structure includes a limiting groove 212 provided on the inner sidewall of the connecting arm 211. The limiting groove 212 extends along the extending direction of the slide groove 123 and forms an opening on the side of the connecting arm 211 away from the first connecting seat 12. The first limiting structure includes a limiting protrusion 124 protruding from the outer side of the first connecting seat 12. The limiting protrusion 124 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 212 to prevent the adapter 20 from rotating relative to the first connecting seat 12.
[0049] Specifically, when the limiting protrusion 124 extends into the limiting groove 212, the side wall of the limiting protrusion 124 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting groove 212 to prevent the adapter 20 from rotating relative to the first connecting seat 12, that is, to prevent the protrusion 213 from rotating relative to the sliding groove 123. The adapter 20 can only be rotated when the user applies a pulling force to make the limiting protrusion 124 slide out of the limiting groove 212. This simple structure simplifies the overall structure of the adapter 20 and the first connecting seat 12, reducing manufacturing difficulty.
[0050] In some embodiments, the first limiting structure includes two limiting grooves 212 disposed on the inner sidewall of the connecting arm 211. The two limiting grooves 212 are arranged vertically at intervals. A limiting protrusion is disposed on one side of the sliding groove 123. In the storage state, the limiting protrusion is inserted into one of the two limiting grooves 212. In the use state, the limiting protrusion is inserted into the other of the two limiting grooves 212.
[0051] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 124 is located on the upper side of the slide groove 123. When the adapter 20 is in use, the limiting protrusion 124 is located in the upper limiting groove 212. When the user applies a pulling force to make the limiting protrusion 124 slide out of the limiting groove 212 and rotate the adapter 20 to the side where the first connecting seat 12 is away from the first connector 13, the lower limiting groove 212 can be rotated to the upper side. At this time, sliding the adapter 20 can drive the limiting protrusion 124 to slide into another limiting groove 212 for limiting. That is, in the use state and the limiting state, the limiting protrusion 124 can slide into different limiting grooves 212 for limiting. This is beneficial to improving the overall limiting performance of the adapter 20 and the first connecting seat 12.
[0052] In some embodiments, both the upper and lower surfaces of the second connecting seat 21 are provided with anti-slip portions 214. It can be understood that the anti-slip portions 214, compared to the smooth surface of the second connecting seat 21, increase the friction of the surface of the second connecting seat 21. For example, the anti-slip portions 214 can be configured as anti-slip protrusions on the surface of the second connecting seat 21, or as anti-slip grooves recessed into the surface of the second connecting seat 21.
[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
