[0048] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 9 This utility model provides a preferred embodiment of a data cable storage structure.
[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in some embodiments, the present invention provides a data cable storage structure comprising: an upper cover 1, a lower cover 2, a turntable 3, a fixing base 4, a first terminal block 5, a second terminal block 6, a locking assembly 7, a rotating shaft 8, a spring 9, and a data cable 10. The data cable 10 is disposed on the turntable 3 and electrically connected to the first terminal block 5; the first terminal block 5 is disposed on the fixing base 4; the fixing base 4 is disposed on the turntable 3; the rotating shaft 8 is disposed on the upper cover 1, and the turntable 3 is disposed between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2, and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 8; the second terminal block 6 is disposed on the lower cover 2 and electrically connected to the first terminal block 5; the locking assembly 7 is disposed on the lower cover 2 and is used to cooperate with the fixing base 4 to lock the turntable 3; one end of the spring 9 is disposed on the turntable 3, and the other end of the spring 9 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 8.
[0050] Specifically, the first terminal block 5 is mounted on the fixing base 4, realizing the function of a circuit board and connector. The second terminal block 6 is disposed in the lower cover 2, also realizing the function of a circuit board and connector. The corresponding terminals of the first terminal block 5 and the second terminal block 6 are electrically connected. One end of the data cable 10 is electrically connected to the first terminal block 5, thus realizing the connection between the data cable 10 and the second terminal block 6. The data cable 10 can be a TYPE-C data cable, and the other end of the TYPE-C data cable 10 is a male connector. The second terminal block 6 can be connected to chargers, computers, tablets, etc. Taking a charger as an example, when the data cable 10 storage structure is used for a charging device, the second terminal block 6 is connected to the charger to realize the charging function.
[0051] The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2 are snapped together. The fixing base 4 is mounted on the turntable 3, and the turntable 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 8. The two ends of the spring 9 are respectively connected to the turntable 3 and the rotating shaft 8, and the data cable 10 is connected to the turntable 3. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the turntable 3 rotates, the fixing base 4 rotates with the turntable 3, the spring 9 stores power and can return the turntable 3 to its initial position, and the locking component 7 can cooperate with the fixing base 4 to lock the turntable 3, so that the data cable 10 can be maintained in a state of being pulled out to a certain length for user use.
[0052] In the above technical solution, this utility model replaces the existing circuit board + connector structure by setting the first terminal block 5 on the fixed base 4 and replacing the existing circuit board + connector structure by setting the second terminal block 6 in the lower cover 2. Compared with the method of using the circuit board + connector structure to achieve connection, it simplifies the process, reduces material and labor costs, and reduces production defects caused by process complexity.
[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the second terminal block 6 includes a positive terminal, a ground terminal, a detection terminal, and a data terminal.
[0054] Specifically, the number of terminals in the second terminal block 6 is the same as that in the first terminal block 5, and they correspond one-to-one. The second terminal block 6 includes at least a positive terminal V, a ground terminal G, a detection terminal CC, a data terminal D+, and a data terminal D- to realize charging and data transmission functions. It should be understood that the number of terminals in the second terminal block 6 can be increased to meet more functions.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the second terminal block 6 is embedded in the lower cover 2, forming an integral whole with the lower cover 2.
[0056] Specifically, the second terminal block 6 is embedded in the lower cover 2 by injection molding, forming a structure with the lower cover 2 to realize the circuit board + connector function.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the front of the fixing base 4 is provided with a receiving groove 41, and the first terminal block 5 is embedded in the receiving groove 41 and forms an integral part with the fixing base 4.
[0058] Specifically, the fixing base 4 is provided with a plurality of receiving slots 41, the number of receiving slots 41 corresponding to the number of terminals of the first terminal block 5, with each terminal corresponding to one receiving slot 41. The rear surface of the first terminal block 5 after being installed in the receiving slots 41 is flush with the surface of the fixing base 4. The partition structure formed between the receiving slots 41 can limit the terminals of the first terminal block 5, preventing the first terminal block 5 and the second terminal block 6 from being misaligned when the turntable 3 rotates, thus ensuring that the first terminal block 5 and the second terminal block 6 can remain connected.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a partition structure 42 is provided on the back of the fixed base 4, and the terminals of the first terminal block 5 are located between the partition structures 42; the turntable 3 is provided with a clearance hole 31 at the position corresponding to the partition structure 42.
[0060] Specifically, the data cable 10 is connected to the first terminal block 5 by soldering. To prevent short circuits caused by soldering, the first terminal block 5 is isolated by the partition structure 42 on the fixing base 4. This avoids short circuits between the first terminal blocks 5 after soldering. Since the first terminal block 5 is located on the front of the fixing base 4, and the data cable 10 is located on the back of the fixing base 4, when the data cable 10 is soldered to the first terminal block 5, it needs to pass through the turntable 3 and the fixing base 4. Therefore, the turntable 3 needs to be provided with a clearance hole 31 at the position of the partition structure 42 to facilitate the connection between the data cable 10 and the first terminal block 5.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the first terminal block 5 has a ring structure.
[0062] Specifically, since the first terminal block 5 will rotate with the turntable 3, and the first terminal block 5 needs to be connected to the second terminal block 6, the first terminal block 5 is set as a ring structure. No matter how much the turntable 3 rotates, the first terminal block 5 can always be connected to the second terminal block 6 to ensure normal charging or data transmission.
[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking assembly 7 includes: a retaining spring 71, a swing arm 72, and a locking position 73; the edge of the fixed base 4 is provided with a plurality of first locking grooves 43 at intervals; the retaining spring 71 is engaged with the lower cover 2; the swing arm 72 is rotatably connected to the lower cover 2 and abuts against the retaining spring 71; wherein, the swing arm 72 is provided with a protrusion 721 adapted to the first locking groove 43; the locking position 73 is rotatably connected to the lower cover 2 and is disposed opposite to the swing arm 72; the side of the locking position 73 close to the swing arm 72 is provided with a plurality of first limiting parts 731, and the side of the swing arm 72 close to the locking position 73 is provided with a second limiting part 722 that cooperates with the first limiting parts 731.
[0064] Specifically, the lower cover 2 is provided with two second slots 23, and the two ends of the retaining spring 71 are engaged in the second slots 23 of the lower cover 2. The swing arm 72 is sleeved on the first mounting post 21 of the lower cover 2, and the locking position 73 is sleeved on the second mounting post 22 of the lower cover 2. Both the swing arm 72 and the locking position 73 are rotatably connected to the lower cover 2. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the turntable 3 and the fixed base 4 rotate. When the first slot 43 of the fixed base 4 contacts the protrusion 721 of the swing arm 72, it will drive the swing arm 72 to swing. When the data cable 10 is stopped, the protrusion 721 is engaged in the first slot 43, and the first limiting part 731 of the locking position 73 abuts against the second limiting part 722 of the swing arm 72, thereby locking the turntable 3. At this time, the turntable 3 stops moving, and the data cable 10 stops moving.
[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating shaft 8 is a metal rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft 8 is formed on the upper cover 1 by injection molding.
[0066] Specifically, the hinge 8 is made of metal, which increases its strength and extends the lifespan of the data cable 10 storage structure. The hinge 8 can be injection molded onto the upper cover 1 or assembled onto the upper cover 1, for example, by using a threaded connection.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the turntable 3 includes: a first mounting part 32, a second mounting part 33, a third mounting part 34, and a fourth mounting part 35; the spring 9 is housed in the first mounting part 32, and one end of the spring 9 is connected to the third mounting part 34; the first mounting part 32 is provided with a first notch, and the second mounting part 33 is provided with a second notch, the first notch and the second notch forming a fixing groove 36; the end of the data cable 10 connected to the turntable 3 is provided with a latching part 101, the latching part 101 engaging with the fixing groove 36; the fourth mounting part 35 is located on one side of the third mounting part 34 and is spaced apart from the second mounting part 33.
[0068] Specifically, the first mounting part 32 has an arc-shaped structure and is arranged around the rotating shaft 8. The spring 9 is located within the space surrounded by the first mounting part 32, and one end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the third mounting part 34. The first mounting part 32 and the second mounting part 33 have notches at their contact points with the data cable 10. The two notches form a fixing groove 36. The data cable 10 has a snap-fit part 101 that matches the size of the fixing groove 36. The data cable 10 is clamped between the first mounting part 32 and the second mounting part 33 through the snap-fit part 101, achieving a fixed connection between the data cable 10 and the turntable 3. This eliminates the need for glue bonding and prevents the data cable 10 from loosening due to glue failure. To provide space for soldering the data cable 10, the position between the fourth mounting part 35 and the second mounting part 33 is hollowed out to form the clearance hole 31. The fourth mounting part 35 abuts against the data cable 10, providing support for the data cable 10.
[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the data cable 10 storage device also includes a nameplate 11, which is disposed at the bottom of the lower cover 2 and installed on the side of the lower cover 2. On the one hand, the nameplate 11 can play a role in dust prevention and aesthetics, and on the other hand, the nameplate 11 can be used to engrave product information.
[0070] In summary, the data cable storage structure provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0071] The first terminal block is placed on the fixed base, and the second terminal block is placed inside the lower cover. This can replace the original two circuit boards + connector structure, which is lower in cost than the method of using circuit boards + connectors to achieve electrical connection.
[0072] The shaft is made of metal and is formed using injection molding, which can extend the service life of the shaft.
[0073] The data cable is clamped to the turntable instead of being fixed with glue, which can ensure the connection strength of the data cable.
[0074] It should be understood that the application of this utility model is not limited to the examples above. Those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
