Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4 A device with a built-in foldable USB interface includes a device body and a USB interface 3. The device body housing includes a left shell 1 and a right shell 2 that are connected to each other. The device body has a cavity for housing the USB interface 3. The USB interface 3 is disposed in the cavity. At least one side wall of the cavity has an opening 11 that penetrates the device body housing. The USB interface 3 includes a first end and a second end. The first end is rotatably connected to the device body through a rotating mechanism. The second end can extend outward from the opening 11 or be folded and stored in the cavity with the cooperation of the rotating mechanism. A spring-locking mechanism is provided between the USB interface 3 and the device body. The USB interface 3 can be conveniently popped out of the cavity or folded in the cavity through the spring-locking mechanism.
[0019] The spring-locking mechanism includes a V-shaped spring 4, a locking pin 5, a return spring 6, and an unlocking button 7. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 31 located at the first end of the USB interface 3 and a bearing seat 13 located on the cavity wall. The rotating shaft 31 and the bearing seat 13 are rotatably connected. The V-shaped spring 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 31. One arm of the V-shaped spring 4 is in contact with the cavity wall, and the other arm is connected to the first end of the USB interface 3. A slot 32 is provided at the first end of the USB interface 3. The locking pin 5 has a return spring 6 at one end. The reset spring 6 is elastically connected to the device body, and the other end is provided with a latch 52. When the USB interface 3 is retracted into the cavity, the latch 52 is engaged with the slot 32 under the elastic force of the reset spring 6. The device body is provided with an unlocking sliding hole 12 penetrating the housing. One end of the unlocking button 7 extends outward from the unlocking sliding hole 12. The unlocking button 7 can slide and move along the length of the unlocking sliding hole 12, that is, the unlocking button 7 can move along the vertical direction of the locking pin 5 on the device body. The unlocking button 7 is provided with an inclined push rod 71. The locking pin 5 is provided with an inclined slide rail 51, and the inclined push rod 71 is slidably connected to the inclined slide rail 51. When the USB interface 3 is retracted into the cavity, the latch 52 is engaged in the slot 32. At this time, the USB interface 3 is limited and cannot rotate around the pivot 31. At this time, external force pushes the unlock button 7, causing it to move along the length of the unlocking slide hole 12 away from the locking pin 5. During the translation process, the inclined push rod 71 applies pressure in the inclined slide rail 51, causing the locking pin 5 compression return spring 6 to be lifted upward, ultimately realizing... Now, the latch 52 at the lower end of the locking pin 5 is withdrawn from the slot 32. At this time, the USB interface 3 rotates around the pivot 31 under the opening force of the V-shaped spring 4, so that the second end of the USB interface 3 extends outward from the cavity 11 and remains extended under the force of the V-shaped spring 4. In this state, if the USB interface 3 needs to be retracted into the cavity, an external force sufficient to overcome the force of the V-shaped spring 4 needs to be applied to the second end of the USB interface 3 to make the USB interface 3 rotate until the slot 32 and the latch 52 are engaged.
[0020] The device body contains a battery 9 and a circuit board assembly 8, which are electrically connected. The circuit board assembly 8 is electrically connected to a display screen 81, control buttons 82, and a power interface 83. The device body housing has through holes corresponding to the display screen 81, control buttons 82, and power interface 83. A light-transmitting cover is encapsulated within the through hole corresponding to the display screen 81, allowing the display to show information outwards. The control buttons 82 and power interface 83 are both located within their respective through holes and extend outwards. The display screen 81 displays the real-time remaining battery level of the battery 9. The control buttons 82 are used to activate and deactivate the operating circuit of the circuit board assembly 8. The power interface 83 can charge the battery 9 when connected to an external power source using a charging cable.
[0021] In summary, the built-in USB interface 3 of this utility model can be conveniently popped out and used through a spring-lock mechanism, or it can be hidden and stored in the cavity. It is not only easy to store, but also practical and easy to operate, thus improving the practicality of the device.
