[0030] The charging cable of this application includes a network WiFi module disposed on the charging cable for connecting to a wireless cellular network and converting the network traffic of the wireless cellular network into WiFi traffic. This not only facilitates charging of electronic devices but also provides wireless network services, reducing the number of electronic devices that users need to carry.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a charging cable, including a network WiFi module 200 disposed on the charging cable 100 for connecting to a wireless cellular network and converting the network traffic of the wireless cellular network into WiFi traffic.
[0033] In practice, the charging cable 100 is a necessary component for connecting two electronic devices, such as connecting a computer and a mobile phone via the charging cable 100, or connecting a charger head and a mobile phone via the charging cable 100, which can charge the electronic devices and / or transmit data.
[0034] A WiFi module 200 is installed on the charging cable 100. The WiFi module 200 is connected to the charging cable 100 and is powered by the charging cable 100. The WiFi module 200 can connect to the Internet and wirelessly connect to the terminal device 500. That is, the WiFi module 200 can access the wireless network, convert network traffic into WiFi traffic, and then send WiFi signals to the terminal device 500.
[0035] Optionally, the network WiFi module 200 includes a card reader and a WiFi transmitter mounted on the charging cable 100. The card reader is used to read cards to access the wireless cellular network, and the WiFi transmitter is connected to the card reader to convert the network traffic of the wireless cellular network into WiFi traffic to provide WiFi transmission signals to the terminal device 500. Accessing the wireless cellular network via card reading allows for convenient network access wherever the wireless cellular network is covered.
[0036] In some possible embodiments, the charging cable 100 includes a charging cable body, a first connection port 300 disposed at a first end of the charging cable body, and a second connection port disposed at a second end of the charging cable body.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the first connection port 300 is a USB-A interface or a Type-C interface. The first connection port 300 has a CC pin, which is used to connect to the USB interface of transformer 700, charger head, laptop, etc. The Type-C interface is a USB interface form factor standard, which can be used for both host devices (such as PCs, personal computers) and slave devices (such as mobile phones).
[0038] The second connection port is at least one of the following: Type-C interface 410, Lightning interface 420, and Micro USB interface 430. This second connection port is used to connect to the interface of the target device 600, which can be a mobile phone, tablet, laptop, or headphones, etc., without limitation. The Lightning interface, also known as the Lightning connector, is a proprietary connector specification manufactured by Apple. Micro USB is a portable version of the USB 2.0 standard.
[0039] In some possible embodiments, the first connection port 300, the charging cable body, or the second connection port are all provided with a voltage bus and a ground wire. Exemplarily, in implementation, the charging cable body is elongated and includes an outer sheath and several wires embedded within the sheath. These wires correspond to several terminals of the first connection port 300 and the second connection port, such as VBUS, DP, DN, CC, and GND. Here, VBUS (Voltage Bus) refers to a voltage bus; DP (DisplayPort) is a digital interface used for video and audio transmission; DN (Data Negative) is a type of USB interface mainly used for connecting high-speed data transmission devices; CC is used to detect the connection and distinguish the positive and negative sides; and GND is grounded. Figure 1 As shown.
[0040] In some embodiments, the WiFi module 200 is disposed within the first connection port 300, the charging cable body, or the second connection port, without limitation. Exemplarily, this application disposes of the WiFi module 200 on the charging cable body and connects it to the voltage bus (VBUS) and ground wire (GND) within the charging cable body. Preferably, the WiFi module 200 is disposed near the first connection port 300 on the charging cable body. This reduces the risk that the first or second connection port might become too large and unable to connect to other devices (charging heads or mobile phones, etc.) due to the WiFi module 200 being disposed within the first or second connection port, and also facilitates use and storage.
[0041] In practice, the card reader can be a card slot, which is used to load a SIM card and access the wireless cellular network.
[0042] In some possible embodiments, the SIM card may also be a soft SIM (soft SIM card technology is to chip up the SIM card), a hard SIM, or a virtual SIM card built into the charging cable 100, without limitation.
[0043] In practice, the card reader can also be a virtual card reader. For example, the card reader can be a 3G / 4G / 5G wireless internet module. The 3G / 4G / 5G wireless internet module can access the wireless cellular network using the SIM (soft SIM or hard SIM) built into the charging cable 100, or it can access the wireless cellular network through the built-in global SIM (cloud SIM 201), and download a more suitable cloud SIM from the cloud SIM server 230 to access the wireless cellular network.
[0044] In some embodiments, the card reader and the WiFi transmitter can be integrated into a networked WiFi module 200, namely a 3G / 4G / 5G wireless internet access module with WiFi functionality. The 3G / 4G / 5G wireless internet access module connects to the base station 210 and to the core network 220 of the local operator's network. At the same time, the 3G / 4G / 5G wireless internet access module connects to the WiFi-enabled terminal device 500 via WiFi. The 3G / 4G / 5G wireless internet access module converts wireless cellular traffic into WiFi traffic and shares it with the terminal device 500.
[0045] The charging cable 100 of this application includes a network WiFi module 200 disposed on the charging cable 100 for connecting to a wireless cellular network and converting the network traffic of the wireless cellular network into WiFi traffic. This facilitates charging and / or data transmission for electronic devices and provides wireless network services, reducing the number of electronic devices that users carry.
[0046] Example 2
[0047] In some alternative embodiments, this application also provides a charging kit, comprising:
[0048] Charger head; and
[0049] The charging cable 100, as described above, is connected to the charger head.
[0050] In practice, the charger head has a shell, metal contacts, and a circuit board. The shell can be made of polyester resin, the metal contacts are usually made of copper alloy, and the circuit board plays the role of energy conversion, controlling the charging process, protecting the battery, improving charging efficiency, and ensuring safe use. The circuit board is connected to a USB interface, which is used to plug into the USB-A interface on the charging cable 100.
[0051] Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the structure and implementation principle of the charging kit described above can be referred to the corresponding structure and implementation principle in the aforementioned Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
[0052] The charging cable 100 of this application includes a network WiFi module 200 disposed on the charging cable 100 for connecting to a wireless cellular network and converting the network traffic of the wireless cellular network into WiFi traffic. This not only facilitates charging of electronic devices but also provides wireless network services, reducing the number of electronic devices that users carry.
[0053] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
