Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable connector bodies, and more specifically to a serial port connector that improves the bending radius of cables. Background Technology

[0002] A conventional cable connector has a flat end, from which the cable extends vertically. The cable sheath is integrally formed with the flat end of the connector. When the cable is taut, its length is perpendicular to the flat end of the connector. When this type of connector is inserted into a device, i.e., when the connector is fixed relative to the cable, bending the cable causes it to bend from the flat end of the connector. The bend is close to the flat end of the connector, making the cable prone to breakage at this flat point.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a serial port connector that improves the bending radius of the cable and overcomes the above-mentioned problems is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a serial port connector that improves the bending radius of cables.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A serial port connector for improving the bending radius of a cable includes a connector body connected to a cable. The connector body is characterized in that a limiting channel communicating with its interior is provided on the connector body, the tail end of the limiting channel penetrates the outer wall of the connector body, the cable is located inside the limiting channel, and the inner diameter of the limiting channel gradually increases from its head to its tail along the length of the limiting channel.

[0007] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a serial port connector that improves the bending radius of the cable. The present invention provides a limiting channel on the connector body. When the cable bends relative to the connector body, on the one hand, the limiting channel with an inner diameter that gradually increases from the first end to the last end can provide the cable with sufficient bending space. On the other hand, the limiting channel can limit and support the cable, ensuring that the connection between the cable and the connector body has sufficient bending freedom while avoiding excessive bending and damage to the cable.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting channel is trumpet-shaped. The limiting channel can limit the bending radius of the cable inside it, preventing the cable bending radius from being too small.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the cable can be in close contact with the inner wall of the limiting channel. The inner wall of the limiting channel is in sufficient contact with the outer wall of the cable, so that the cable sheath will not be damaged.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting channel is in the shape of a truncated cone. This kind of limiting channel can also limit the bending radius of the cable inside.

[0011] Preferably, the inner profile of the cross section of the limiting channel is the same as the outer profile of the cross section of the cable. The cable can be reliably arranged in the limiting channel.

[0012] Preferably, the inner profile of the cross section of the limiting channel is in the shape of a circle.

[0013] Preferably, the joint body is further provided with a fastening channel, the tail end of the fastening channel is connected with the head end of the limiting channel, and the cable is fixed inside the fastening channel. The cable can be reliably fixed inside the fastening channel.

[0014] Preferably, the inner profile of the cross section of the fastening channel is the same as the inner profile of the cross section of the limiting channel. This design facilitates the threading of the cable.
