Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Currently, there are many types of electronic devices, and the charging interfaces mainly fall into three categories: Apple's Lightning interface, Android's interface, and Type-C interface. Using different data cables for different electronic devices' charging interfaces increases costs and makes them inconvenient to store and carry. Therefore, multi-head data cables have emerged.

[0003] Multi-head data cables have a USB connector on one end and an Apple Lightning connector, Android connector, and Type-C connector on the other end, which can be used with Apple Lightning, Android, and Type-C interfaces respectively. However, some charging heads currently connect with Type-C connectors. Furthermore, the Apple Lightning connector, Android connector, and Type-C connector on multi-head data cables all face the same side. When using one of the connectors, the unused connectors will interfere with the electronic device. Also, the connectors are not fixed and can fall apart, affecting their lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this patent application is how to provide a multi-connector data cable that can fix the position of the connector, facilitates the independent use of a single connector, and has a long service life.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-connector data cable includes a data cable body, a first connector, a second connector, a first adapter, a second adapter, a first flexible strip, and a second flexible strip; a first connector shell is fixed to the outside of the first connector, a second connector shell is fixed to the outside of the second connector, and the two ends of the data cable body are electrically connected to the first connector and the second connector, respectively.

[0007] The first adapter includes a third connector and a first adapter housing fixed to the outside of the third connector. The first adapter housing has a first socket at the end away from the third connector, and the first socket is electrically connected to the third connector. The second adapter includes a fourth connector and a second adapter housing fixed to the outside of the fourth connector. The second adapter housing has a second socket at the end away from the fourth connector, and the second socket is electrically connected to the fourth connector. The first socket and the second socket can be plugged into the second connector and electrically connected.

[0008] The first adapter housing is fixedly connected to the first flexible strip, and the second adapter housing is fixedly connected to the second flexible strip. The first and second flexible strips are connected to the data cable body through a rotating structure. The data cable body is also provided with an adapter magnetic suction assembly.

[0009] Thus, the data cable body retains its existing structure, connecting to the first and second connectors. The first, second, third, and fourth connectors can be Apple Lightning connectors, Android connectors, Type-C connectors, and USB connectors. The specific connector used can be selected based on the actual situation. To ensure compatibility with more electronic devices, the plugs used for the second, third, and fourth connectors are different.

[0010] When a second or third connector is needed, it is plugged into the first or second socket to convert the data cable connector. The first and second flexible bands prevent the first and second adapters from being lost, allowing them to better integrate with the data cable body. When a third or fourth connector is needed, the magnetic attachment assembly separates, and the rotating structure allows the third or fourth connector to rotate to the same direction as the second connector for easy use. When not in use, the third or fourth connector rotates to the opposite direction of the second connector and engages with the magnetic attachment assembly, preventing interference with the use of the second connector.

[0011] The rotating structure includes a left block, a right block, a left connector, and a right connector. The left connector and the right connector are fixedly connected to the first flexible strip and the second flexible strip, respectively. Two retaining rings are fixed on each of the left connector and the right connector, forming a receiving area between the two retaining rings. The two sides of the left block and the right block are respectively inserted into the receiving area, and the left block and the right block are adhered to the outside of the data cable body.

[0012] The left block has an insertion hole, and the right block has a pin fixed opposite the insertion hole that can be inserted into the insertion hole.

[0013] The left and right blocks are bonded together.

[0014] The adapter magnetic assembly includes a left magnetic block and a right magnetic block. The left and right magnetic blocks are arranged opposite each other and are bonded to the outside of the data cable. A first magnet is fixedly installed on the surfaces of the left and right magnetic blocks that are far apart from each other. A second magnet with the opposite polarity to the first magnet is fixedly installed on the first adapter housing and the second adapter housing. The first and second magnets can be attracted and connected.

[0015] The first and second flexible strips are made of rubber or nylon rope.

[0016] The outer wall of the data cable is wrapped with nylon braided material.

[0017] In summary, this multi-connector data cable has the advantages of being able to fix the connector position, facilitating the independent use of individual connectors, and having a long lifespan. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The first adapter housing is fixedly connected to the first flexible strip, and the second adapter housing is fixedly connected to the second flexible strip. The first and second flexible strips are connected to the data cable body through the rotating structure 14. The data cable body is also provided with an adapter magnetic suction assembly 15.

[0028] Thus, the data cable body retains its existing structure, connecting to the first and second connectors. The first, second, third, and fourth connectors can be Apple Lightning connectors, Android connectors, Type-C connectors, and USB connectors. The specific connector used can be selected based on the actual situation. To ensure compatibility with more electronic devices, the plugs used for the second, third, and fourth connectors are different.

[0029] When a second or third connector is needed, it is plugged into the first or second socket to convert the data cable connector. The first and second flexible bands prevent the first and second adapters from being lost, allowing them to better integrate with the data cable body. When a third or fourth connector is needed, the magnetic attachment assembly separates, and the rotating structure allows the third or fourth connector to rotate to the same direction as the second connector for easy use. When not in use, the third or fourth connector rotates to the opposite direction of the second connector and engages with the magnetic attachment assembly, preventing interference with the use of the second connector.

[0030] In this application, the first and second connectors are both Type-C connectors, the third connector is an Apple Lightning connector, and the fourth connector is a USB connector.

[0031] In implementation, the rotating structure includes a left block 16, a right block 17, a left connector 18, and a right connector 19.

Each left and right connector has two retaining rings fixed to it, forming a receiving area between them. The sides of the left and right blocks are respectively engaged in this receiving area, and the left and right blocks are adhered to the outside of the data cable. The retaining rings prevent the left and right connectors from detaching from the area enclosed by the left and right blocks, facilitating the rotation of the first and second flexible strips.

[0032] In practice, the left block has an insertion hole, and the right block has a pin 20 fixed opposite the insertion hole, which can be inserted into the insertion hole. This facilitates the connection between the left and right blocks.

[0033] In practice, the left and right blocks are bonded together, making the connection between them more stable and reliable.

[0034] In implementation, the adapter magnetic assembly includes a left magnetic block 21 and a right magnetic block 22. The left and right magnetic blocks are positioned opposite each other and adhered to the outer side of the data cable. First magnetic pieces are fixedly mounted on the surfaces of the left and right magnetic blocks that are far apart from each other. Second magnetic pieces with opposite polarity to the first magnetic pieces are fixedly mounted on the first and second adapter housings. The first and second magnetic pieces can be attracted and connected. The arrangement of the first and second magnetic pieces facilitates the positioning of connectors that are not in use. The first magnetic piece can be adhered to the outer side of the left and right magnetic blocks, and the second magnetic piece can be adhered to the outer side of the first and second adapter housings.

[0035] In practice, the first and second flexible belts are made of rubber or nylon rope for ease of use.

[0036] In practice, the outer wall of the data cable is wrapped with nylon braided material (not shown). This improves wear resistance and extends service life.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
