Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable technology, and in particular to a flexible and durable data cable. Background Technology

[0002] Data cables are an indispensable part of modern electronic devices, used to transfer data and power between different devices. With the widespread use of smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronic devices, users' demands for data cables are also increasing.

[0003] Beyond basic data transfer and charging functions, users expect data cables to have higher tensile strength and tangle resistance. Traditional data cables typically have simple plastic or rubber sheaths wrapping the wires, making them prone to damage from frequent bending and pulling, resulting in a short lifespan. Although data cables with nylon braided outer layers have been introduced to enhance tensile strength and tangle resistance, some significant problems remain. For example, nylon braided outer layers lack effective waterproof and dustproof capabilities, easily accumulating dust and dirt, especially at the connectors. After frequent use, the braids can easily unravel, allowing water to seep in, further shortening the lifespan and degrading the user experience.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the aforementioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible and durable data cable, comprising a cable body, wherein connectors are connected to both ends of the cable body, and the connectors are provided with interfaces;

[0007] The yarn body is provided with a nylon braided layer, and the nylon braided layer is covered with a soft rubber layer.

[0008] A reinforcing shell is fitted onto the connector, and a sleeve portion is formed at the lower end of the reinforcing shell, which wraps around the connection area between the wire and the connector.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a reinforcing ring is sleeved on the wire body near the joint, the outer surface of the reinforcing ring protrudes from the surface of the wire body, and a notch corresponding to the reinforcing ring is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve portion.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the reinforcing shell also includes a main shell portion sleeved outside the connector and a connecting portion located between the main shell portion and the sleeve portion;

[0011] The connecting portion forms an arc-shaped transition between the main shell portion and the sleeve portion.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the wire body includes multiple strands of conductors, an insulating layer that wraps the multiple strands of conductors, and a shielding layer that wraps the insulating layer, wherein the nylon braided layer wraps the shielding layer.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an inner protective layer is provided between the nylon braided layer and the shielding layer.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the insulating layer has a shock-absorbing filler material inside which is filled between multiple wires, and the shock-absorbing filler material has multiple buffer holes inside.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the line is provided with a binding strap.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows: the nylon braided layer provides the cable with extremely high anti-tangling performance and tensile strength, making the cable softer and less prone to knotting, thus reducing the problem of cable tangling; and a soft rubber layer is covered on the outside of the nylon braided layer, forming a sealed outer sheath. The soft rubber layer is made of TPU soft rubber, which has excellent waterproof and dustproof properties, effectively preventing external pollutants from entering the cable, while maintaining the cable's softness and flexibility. It also prevents dust and dirt from accumulating inside the nylon braided layer. The surface of the TPU soft rubber layer is smooth and easy to wipe and clean, keeping the data cable clean and beautiful.

[0017] Meanwhile, a reinforcing shell is added to the outside of the connector. The lower end of the reinforcing shell has a sleeve that wraps around the connection area between the cable and the connector. This not only protects the connector, but also provides local reinforcement to the connection area between the cable and the connector. This prevents the nylon braided layer on the outside of the cable from easily wearing off and coming apart at the connection area with the connector during frequent plugging and unplugging, which would affect the overall appearance and lifespan of the data cable.

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 A flexible and durable data cable includes a cable body 1, with connectors 2 connected to both ends of the cable body 1, and interfaces 3 provided on the connectors 2;

[0028] The line body 1 is provided with a nylon braided layer 4, and the nylon braided layer 4 is covered with a soft rubber layer 5.

[0029] A reinforcing shell 6 is fitted onto the connector 2. A wire sleeve 7 is formed at the lower end of the reinforcing shell 6, which wraps the connection area between the wire body 1 and the connector 2.

[0030] Specifically, the nylon braided layer 4 provides the cable 1 with extremely high anti-tangling performance, making the cable 1 softer and less prone to knotting, reducing the problem of cable tangling, making it easier to carry and organize, and also improving the tensile strength of the cable 1, solving the problem of surface cracking that occurs when traditional data cables are bent or used; and a soft rubber layer 5 is covered on the outside of the nylon braided layer 4, forming a sealed outer sheath. The soft rubber layer 5 is made of TPU soft rubber, which has excellent waterproof and dustproof properties, effectively preventing external pollutants from entering the inside of the cable 1, while maintaining the softness and flexibility of the cable 1. In addition to providing waterproof and dustproof protection, the soft rubber layer 5 can also prevent dust and dirt from accumulating inside the nylon braided layer 4. The surface of the TPU soft rubber layer 5 is smooth and easy to wipe and clean, keeping the data cable clean and beautiful;

[0031] Meanwhile, a reinforcing shell 6 is added to the outside of the connector 2. The lower end of the reinforcing shell 6 has a sleeve part 7 that wraps around the connection area between the cable body 1 and the connector 2. This not only protects the connector 2, but the sleeve part 7 can also locally reinforce the connection area between the cable body 1 and the connector 2, so as to prevent the nylon braided layer 4 on the outside of the cable body 1 from being easily worn and unraveled in the connection area with the connector 2 during frequent plugging and unplugging, which would affect the overall aesthetics and service life of the data cable.

[0032] The reinforcing shell 6 is made of hard plastic material. The reinforcing shell 6 is formed by injection molding using a rubber-coating mold. The connector 2 is placed in the predetermined position of the rubber-coating mold, and the mold is closed and the plastic is injected. After cooling and molding, the reinforcing shell 6 is formed to wrap around the connector. It should be noted that the melting point of the reinforcing shell 6 should be lower than that of the material outside the connector 2 to avoid damage to the connector 2 due to high temperature during the injection molding process.

[0033] In this embodiment, reference Figure 4 Furthermore, it is proposed that a reinforcing ring 8 is sleeved on the line body 1 near the connector 2, the outer surface of the reinforcing ring 8 protrudes from the surface of the line body 1, and a notch 9 corresponding to the reinforcing ring 8 is formed on the inner wall of the sleeve part 7.

[0034] Specifically, a reinforcing ring 8 is added to the yarn body 1 in advance, and the outer surface of the reinforcing ring 8 protrudes from the surface of the yarn body 1, so that the yarn sleeve part 7 of the reinforcing shell 6 forms a notch 9 that matches the reinforcing ring 8 during the molding process. The mutual fitting of the reinforcing ring 8 and the notch 9 can improve the connection strength between the yarn body 1 and the reinforcing shell 6, so as to further improve the protection of the nylon braided layer 4 on the outside of the yarn body 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, reference Figure 2 Furthermore, the reinforcing shell 6 also includes a main shell portion 10 that is fitted outside the connector 2 and a connecting portion 11 located between the main shell portion 10 and the sleeve portion 7;

[0036] The connecting part 11 is arc-shaped and transitions between the main shell part 10 and the sleeve part 7.

[0037] The main shell 10 protects the connector 2, increases the strength of the connector 2, and prevents the internal circuitry from being damaged due to the breakage of the connector 2. The sleeve part 7 is used to locally reinforce the connection area between the wire body 1 and the connector 2. The connection part 11 between the main shell 10 and the sleeve part 7 has an arc-shaped transition, which can optimize the user's handling experience and prevent the user from feeling uncomfortable when handling it. In addition, the arc-shaped design can effectively disperse stress when the reinforced shell 6 is bumped, avoid concentrated force and damage, and improve service life.

[0038] In this embodiment, reference Figure 3 Furthermore, it is proposed that the line body 1 includes multiple strands of wire 12, an insulating layer 13 that wraps the multiple strands of wire 12, and a shielding layer 14 that wraps the insulating layer 13, with a nylon braided layer 4 wrapping the shielding layer 14.

[0039] In use, multiple wires 12 are used for signal transmission. The insulation layer 13 that wraps the multiple wires 12 can prevent current leakage or short circuit, and ensure the electrical isolation of the wires, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of signal transmission. The shielding layer 14 is used to isolate external electromagnetic interference and prevent external electromagnetic waves from affecting the signal transmission of the internal wires 12, thus ensuring the stability of signal transmission.

[0040] In this embodiment, an inner protective layer 15 is further provided between the nylon braided layer 4 and the shielding layer 14. The inner protective layer 15 is used to protect the shielding layer 14 from mechanical damage and environmental factors, ensuring that the function of the shielding layer 14 is not impaired, and at the same time provides basic support for the processing of the nylon braided layer 4, which helps to maintain the overall structural stability of the line 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, it is further proposed that the insulating layer 13 has a shock-absorbing filler 16 filled between multiple wires 12, and the shock-absorbing filler 16 has multiple buffer holes 17.

[0042] The shock-absorbing filler 16 inside the insulation layer 13 can absorb and buffer the extrusion pressure when the line body 1 is squeezed. At the same time, multiple buffer holes 17 are opened so that the shock-absorbing filler 16 has deformation space, which is more conducive to absorbing and buffering the extrusion pressure. The shock-absorbing filler 16 can be silicone.

[0043] In this embodiment, a binding strap 18 is further provided on the cable body 1. The binding strap 18 has a fluffy layer at one end and a barbed layer at the other end. After the cable body 1 is folded, it is bound together. The barbed layer and the fluffy layer adhere to each other to achieve the purpose of binding the cable body 1, making it convenient for users to carry.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
