[0004] The automatic headphone cable retractor is simple and convenient to use. Simply connect the headphones to the retractor's port, then gently pull the headphone cable to activate the automatic retractor. The retractor will automatically wind the headphone cable back into the storage box using its built-in spring mechanism. However, traditional retractors have a strong spring, which winds the cable very quickly. Each time the cable is wound up, the headphone's output and input ends are blocked by the casing, causing pulling. After repeated blocking and pulling, the headphones may be damaged or even broken. Therefore, this headphone cable collector is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

A rubber pad 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure rod 5. The housing 4 connects and protects the internal parts. The pressure rod 5 moves the rubber pad 9 up and down. The button 6 is for easy manual pressing, compressing the spring 8 and moving the pressure rod 5. The baffle 7 limits the movement distance of the button 6 to prevent it from falling off. The spring 8 pushes the button 6 back to its original position. The rubber pad 9 is for... The button 6 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 4, and externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 4. The housing 4 simultaneously limits the movement of the button 6 and the baffle 7, allowing them to move only up and down. The bottom end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the housing 4. The spring 8 is internally fitted onto the outside of the pressure rod 5 to keep the spring 8 stable. The rubber pad 9 is externally slidably connected to the inside of the outer shell 1, restricting the direction of movement of the rubber pad 9. The bottom of the rubber pad 9 abuts against the top of the coil 2 to reduce speed, and the top of the rubber pad 9 abuts against the bottom of the housing 4 to limit the movement distance of the rubber pad 9.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5The protective assembly includes a fixing block 10 and a cover 15. The right side of the fixing block 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer shell 1. Two inner shells 11 are fixedly connected inside the fixing block 10. A second spring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner shell 11. A sliding plate 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the second spring 12. A retaining bead 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sliding plate 13. The right side of the cover 15 is rotatably connected to the front side of the outer shell 1. A retaining block 16 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cover 15. The retaining block 16 has retaining slots 17 on both the upper and lower sides. The fixing block 10 is used to fix the inner shells 11, which are used to protect the internal parts. The second spring 12 is used to push the sliding plate 13 to return to its original position. The sliding plate 13 is used to withstand the impact from the sliding plate. The thrust of plate 13 drives the locking bead 14 to move synchronously. The locking bead 14 is used to cooperate with the slot 17 to achieve fixation. The cover 15 is used to cover the outer shell 1 to prevent foreign objects from entering the interior of the outer shell 1. The locking block 16 is used to fix the cover 15 on the top of the outer shell 1. The slot 17 and the locking bead 14 cooperate to achieve fixation. The outer side of the sliding plate 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inner shell 11. The outer side of the locking bead 14 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner shell 11. The inner shell 11 restricts the movement direction of the sliding plate 13 and the locking bead 14. The outer side of the locking bead 14 and the interior of the slot 17 engage to achieve fixation. The outer side of the locking block 16 is slidably connected to the interior of the fixing block 10 to restrict the movement direction of the locking block 16.

[0036] Working principle: When using this device to wind up the headphone cable, first open the cover 15 to disengage the locking bead 14 from the slot 17. Then fold the headphone cable in half and hang it on the hook 3. Pull the headphone cable slightly, at which point the self-locking mechanism inside the coil 2 unlocks and releases the stored force of the spring, causing the coil 2 to rotate. At the same time, press the button 6 with your other hand. Under the limit of the baffle 7, the spring 8 is compressed, which in turn causes the pressure rod 5 to press down on the rubber pad 9, so that the rubber pad 9 contacts the coil 2. The friction of the rubber pad 9 against the coil 2 is then utilized. The force reduces the rotation speed of the reel 2. When the headphone cable is released, it will slowly retract into the reel 2. After winding, the cover 15 is closed. Under the limit of the fixing block 10, the locking block 16 begins to squeeze the locking bead 14, causing the sliding plate 13 to compress the second spring 12. When the cover 15 is completely closed, the second spring 12 will immediately push the sliding plate 13 to reset the locking bead 14, which will then lock into the slot 17 for fixation. This closes the entire outlet of the outer shell 1, preventing foreign objects from entering and effectively protecting the headphones from damage.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
