Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3C accessories, and in particular to a data cable. Background Technology

[0002] Because electronic products have a wide variety of connectors, users often need to carry multiple different types of data cables for use with these products, which reflects the poor versatility of data cables.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, a data cable with replaceable connectors has emerged in the prior art. This data cable includes a cable body, a first connector body, and a second connector body. The first connector body is fixedly connected to the cable body and has a first connector terminal. The first connector body is movably connected to the second connector body, which has a connector socket and a second connector terminal. The second connector terminal is of a different type than the first connector terminal, and the connector socket is compatible with the first connector terminal. This design allows for direct charging of electronic products using the first connector terminal, or the first connector terminal can be inserted into the connector socket to charge the electronic product using the second connector terminal, thus improving the versatility of the data cable.

[0004] The problem with existing data cables with replaceable connectors is that repeated plugging and unplugging of the first connector will cause the fit between the first connector and the connector to become increasingly loose. Therefore, the lifespan of existing data cables with replaceable connectors is generally low. Utility Model Content

The first sidewall and the second sidewall are movably connected to the side of the fixed shell away from the second opening. The connecting portion connects the first sidewall and the second sidewall and is adjacent to the first opening. The movable shell and the fixed shell together define the first opening.

[0009] Optionally, the side of the movable shell away from the first opening is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed shell away from the first opening.

[0011] Optionally, the fixing shell includes a first fixing seat and a second fixing seat. The first fixing seat is fixed to the end of the transmission line body, and one end of the flexible wire is fixed to the first fixing seat. The second fixing seat is mounted on the first fixing seat, and the second fixing seat has at least a portion of the first opening and the accommodating space.

[0012] Optionally, the inner surfaces of the first sidewall and the second sidewall are each provided with one of a positioning protrusion and a positioning groove, and the outer surface of the fixed shell is provided with the other of a positioning protrusion and a positioning groove. The positioning protrusion and the positioning groove cooperate to position the movable shell.

[0013] Optionally, the outer side surface of the movable shell is provided with two receiving grooves, which are used to receive the first sidewall and the second sidewall, respectively.

The flexible wire body is used to electrically connect the first plug-in terminal, the second plug-in terminal, and the transmission line body. Specifically, the mounting base is rotatably connected to the housing, so that the user can switch the plug-in terminal exposed in the first opening by rotating the mounting base. Compared with the prior art that uses an adapter to switch plug-in terminals, this utility model embodiment does not require an adapter to switch plug-in terminals, so there is no problem of loosening of the plug fit caused by an increase in the number of adapters, which can effectively improve the service life of the data cable.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This utility model embodiment provides a data cable 1000, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the data cable 1000 includes a transmission line body 100 and a terminal assembly 200 disposed on the transmission line body 100. The terminal assembly 200 includes a housing 210, a mounting base 220, a first plug-in terminal 230, a second plug-in terminal 240, and a flexible wire body 250. The housing 210 has an accommodating space 211 inside, and also has a first opening 212 communicating with the accommodating space 211 and the outside. The mounting base 220 is disposed in the accommodating space 211 of the housing 210, and the mounting base 220 is provided with the first plug-in terminal 230, the second plug-in terminal 240, and the flexible wire body 250. The flexible wire body 250 is used for electrically connecting the first plug-in terminal 230, the second plug-in terminal 240, and the transmission line body 100. The mounting base 220 is rotatably connected to the housing 210 and can rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the housing 210. In the first position, the first plug-in terminal 230 is exposed to the outside through the first opening 212, and the second plug-in terminal 240 is housed in the receiving space 211. In the second position, the second plug-in terminal 240 is exposed to the outside through the first opening 212, and the first plug-in terminal 230 is housed in the receiving space 211.

[0035] By implementing this embodiment, when a user needs to use the first plug terminal 230, they only need to rotate and adjust the mounting base 220 to position it in the first position, thus exposing the first plug terminal 230 through the first opening 212. When a user needs to use the second plug terminal 240, they only need to rotate and adjust the mounting base 220 to position it in the second position, thus exposing the second plug terminal 240 through the second opening 2131. Therefore, the data cable 1000 of this application can be adapted to multiple different types of plugs. Compared to the data cable 1000 in the prior art that can only be adapted to a single type of plug, the data cable 1000 provided by this embodiment has higher versatility.

[0036] It should be noted that existing technologies also include data cables 1000 with replaceable connectors, but these data cables require adapters to replace the connectors. Therefore, replacing the connectors involves plugging and unplugging them, and with each plugging and unplugging, the fit becomes increasingly loose. Consequently, the lifespan of such replaceable connector data cables 1000 is generally short. In this application, however, the first connector 230 and the second connector 240 are electrically connected to the transmission line via a flexible wire body 250. The first connector 230 and the second connector 240 are switched using the rotation of the mounting base 220. This technical solution differs from existing technologies, eliminating the need for adapters to replace the connectors and thus preventing loosening of the connector fit. Therefore, implementing this embodiment can effectively improve the lifespan of the data cable 1000.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that the first connector 230 can be one of a USB-A connector, a Type-C connector, a Lightning connector, and a Micro-USB connector; the second connector 240 can be another of a USB-A connector, a Type-C connector, a Lightning connector, and a Micro-USB connector.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, two terminal assemblies 200 are provided. The first plug-in terminals 230 in the two terminal assemblies 200 are of the same type, while the second plug-in terminals 240 in the two terminal assemblies 200 are of different types. For example, the first plug-in terminals 230 in both terminal assemblies 200 are Type-C plug-in terminals. In the two terminal assemblies 200, one of the second plug-in terminals 240 is a USB-A plug-in terminal, and the other plug-in terminal is a Lightning plug-in terminal or a Micro-USB plug-in terminal. With this configuration, the data cable 1000 can be adapted to power adapters with USB-A female connectors and Type-C female connectors, as well as electronic products with Type-C female connectors and Lightning female connectors or Micro-USB female connectors, thus having high versatility.

[0039] refer to Figures 2-7 In some embodiments, the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240 are located on opposite sides of the mounting base 220, so switching the mounting base 220 between the first position and the second position requires the user to rotate the mounting base 220 180°. In this embodiment, the housing 210 includes a fixed housing 213, which at least forms a partial first opening 212 and an accommodating space 211. The fixed housing 213 is connected to the transmission line body 100, and the mounting base 220 is rotatably connected to the fixed housing 213. The second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 are located in the first direction (…). Figure 6 The mounting base 220 is positioned on two opposite sides of the mounting housing 213 in the X direction (as shown). The mounting housing 213 has a second opening 2131 and a third opening 2132, which are directly connected to the first opening 212. This allows the second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 to avoid obstructing the first insertion terminal 230 and the second insertion terminal 240 when the mounting base 220 switches between the first and second positions, respectively. The first direction is perpendicular to the rotation center line of the mounting base 220.

[0040] It is conceivable that if the accommodating space 211 is larger than the space required for the mounting base 220, the first plug-in terminal 230, and the second plug-in terminal 240 to rotate, the mounting base 220 can smoothly switch between the first and second positions. However, to make the accommodating space 211 larger than the space required for the mounting base 220, the first plug-in terminal 230, and the second plug-in terminal 240 to rotate, the size of the outer casing 210 must be designed to be relatively large. Once the size of the outer casing 210 is designed to be relatively large, not only will user acceptance decrease, but the product packaging and transportation costs will also increase significantly.

[0041] To address this technical problem, the housing 210 of this embodiment includes a fixed housing 213. The fixed housing 213 has at least a partial first opening 212 and an accommodating space 211. The fixed housing 213 is connected to the transmission line body 100, and the mounting housing is rotatably connected to the fixed housing 213. The fixed housing 213 has a second opening 2131 and a third opening 2132, which are located on opposite sides of the fixed housing 213 in a first direction. With this configuration, when the mounting base 220 switches between the first and second positions, the second opening 2131 can be used to avoid the first plug-in terminal 230, and the third opening 2132 can be used to avoid the second plug-in terminal 240. By providing the second opening 2131 to avoid the first plug-in terminal 230 and the third opening 2132 to avoid the second plug-in terminal 240, the accommodating space 211 does not need to be larger than the space required for the mounting base 220, the first plug-in terminal 230, and the second plug-in terminal 240 to rotate, thereby allowing the housing 210 to be made relatively small. Therefore, implementing this embodiment can effectively reduce the size of the outer casing 210, thereby increasing consumer acceptance and reducing product packaging and transportation costs.

[0042] refer to Figures 2-9In a specific embodiment, the outer shell 210 further includes a movable shell 214, which includes a first sidewall 2141, a second sidewall 2142, and a connecting portion 2143. The first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the rotation center line. The first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 are movably connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131. The connecting portion 2143 connects the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142, and the connecting portion 2143 is adjacent to the first opening 212. The movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 together define the first opening 212.

[0043] Specifically, when the mounting base 220 switches between the first and second positions, the second opening 2131 needs to be used to avoid the first plug-in terminal 230, and the third opening 2132 needs to be used to avoid the second plug-in terminal 240. Therefore, both the second opening 2131 and the third opening 2132 need to be directly connected to the first opening 212. This also results in poor structural strength at the position adjacent to the first opening 212 of the fixed shell 213, and the movable shell 214 is easily deformed and broken under the influence of external forces. In order to solve this technical problem, the outer shell 210 of this embodiment also includes a movable shell 214. The movable shell 214 includes a first sidewall 2141, a second sidewall 2142 and a connecting part 2143. The first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 are spaced apart in the extension direction of the rotation center line. The first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 are movably connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131. The movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 together define the first opening 212. With this configuration, after adjusting the position of the mounting base 220, the movable shell 214 can be operated to connect the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 to the fixed shell 213. Since the movable shell 214 includes a connecting part 2143, which is adjacent to the first opening 212, when the movable shell 214 is connected to the fixed shell 213, the connecting part 2143 can be used to stabilize the movable shell 214, reducing the possibility of deformation or breakage of the movable shell 214 under external force. The reason why the movable shell 214 needs to be movably connected to the fixed shell 213 is that the connecting part 2143 will be located on the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240. Therefore, the movable shell 214 must be moved first to remove the connecting part 2143 from the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240 before the mounting base 220 can be rotated and adjusted, thereby switching the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that there are many specific implementations of the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 being movably connected. This embodiment does not limit the specific implementation. Several embodiments are listed below for reference.

[0045] In Embodiment 1, the movable housing 214 is detachably connected to the fixed housing 213. This allows the movable housing 214 to be removed when it is necessary to switch between the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240, so that the connecting part 2143 is moved away from the rotation path of the second plug terminal 240. After the switch between the first plug terminal 230 and the second plug terminal 240 is completed, the movable housing 214 can be reinstalled on the fixed housing 213.

[0046] It is worth mentioning that there are many ways to make a detachable connection, such as snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, etc. This embodiment does not limit it, as long as the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213 can be detachably connected.

[0047] In Embodiment 2, the movable shell 214 is slidably connected to the fixed shell 213. Specifically, when there is a need to switch between the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240, the movable shell 214 can be slid to move the connecting part 2143 away from the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240. After switching between the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240, the movable shell 214 can be slid back to its original position. The advantage of this embodiment is that when the connecting part 2143 is moved away from the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240, the movable shell 214 still maintains a connection with the fixed shell 213, thus making the movable shell 214 less likely to be lost.

[0048] refer to Figure 7 In Embodiment 3, the side of the movable shell 214 away from the first opening 212 is rotatably connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the first opening 212. Specifically, when there is a need to switch between the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240, the movable shell 214 can be rotated to move the connecting part 2143 away from the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240. After switching between the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240, the movable shell 214 can be rotated back to its original position. The advantage of this embodiment is that when the connecting part 2143 is moved away from the rotation path of the second plug-in terminal 240, the movable shell 214 still maintains a connection with the fixed shell 213, thus making the movable shell 214 less likely to be lost.

[0049] More specifically, the movable shell 214 is rotatably connected to the fixed shell 213 via a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft can be a part independent of the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213, or it can be integrally formed with the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0050] refer to Figure 4In a specific embodiment, the movable shell 214 has a fourth opening 2144 on the side opposite to the second opening 2131, and the mounting base 220 includes a third sidewall 221 adjacent to the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240. The end of the transmission line body 100 is fixed to the fixed shell 213, and one end of the flexible wire 250 is fixed to the fixed shell 213 and electrically connected to the transmission line body 100, while the other end passes through the third sidewall 221. The angle between the other end of the flexible wire 250 and the third sidewall 221 is greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 90°. Both the second opening 2131 and the fourth opening 2144 are used to avoid obstructing the flexible wire 250.

[0051] Specifically, if the angle between the other end of the flexible wire 250 and the third sidewall 221 is too small, the wire core inside the flexible wire 250 is easily broken under stress. To solve this technical problem, in this embodiment, the angle between the other end of the flexible wire 250 and the third sidewall 221 is greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 90°. Because the angle between the other end of the flexible wire 250 and the third sidewall 221 is greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 90°, the length occupied by the flexible wire 250 in the first direction is relatively large. Based on this, in order to make the outer shell 210 smaller and improve consumer acceptance, the movable shell 214 of this embodiment has a fourth opening 2144 on the side opposite to the second opening 2131. Both the fourth opening 2144 and the second opening 2131 can be used to avoid the flexible wire 250. This design allows the outer shell 210 to be made smaller, resulting in higher consumer acceptance.

[0052] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the fixed shell 213 includes a first fixed seat 2133 and a second fixed seat 2134. The first fixed seat 2133 is fixed to the end of the transmission line body 100, and one end of the flexible line 250 is fixed to the first fixed seat 2133. The second fixed seat 2134 is mounted on the first fixed seat 2133. The second fixed seat 2134 has at least a partial first opening 212 and an accommodating space 211. The second fixed seat 2134 has a second opening 2131 and a third opening 2132.

[0053] This embodiment demonstrates a manufacturing-friendly mounting housing 213, which includes a first mounting base 2133 and a second mounting base 2134. The first mounting base 2133 is fixed to one end of the transmission line body 100, and one end of the flexible line 250 is fixed to the first mounting base 2133. The second mounting base 2134 has at least a partial first opening 212 and an accommodating space 211, and also has the aforementioned second opening 2131 and third opening 2132. In actual production, a transmission line body 100 with the first mounting base 2133 fixed to one end is first manufactured, and then the second mounting base 2134 is attached to the first mounting base 2133. Compared to an embodiment where the first and second mounting bases 2133 and 2134 are integrally formed, this reduces manufacturing difficulty.

[0054] refer to Figure 10 In a specific embodiment, the first fixing seat 2133 is provided with a slot 21331, and the second fixing seat 2134 is provided with a notch 21341 that matches the slot 21331. The slot 21331 and the notch 21341 cooperate to allow the second fixing seat 2134 to be installed on the first fixing seat 2133. In order to increase the connection stability between the first fixing seat 2133 and the second fixing seat 2134, glue can also be provided at the slot 21331.

[0055] refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, positioning protrusions 2145 are provided on the inner surfaces of the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142, and positioning grooves 2135 are provided on the outer surface of the fixed shell 213. The positioning protrusions 2145 and the positioning grooves 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214.

[0056] By implementing this embodiment, when the movable shell 214 is connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, the positioning protrusion 2145 will engage in the positioning groove 2135, so that the positioning protrusion 2145 and the positioning groove 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214, preventing the movable shell 214 from easily disengaging from the fixed shell 213 due to external forces. When it is necessary to switch the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240, it is only necessary to apply a force sufficient to disengage the positioning protrusion 2145 from the positioning groove 2135 to separate the movable shell 214 from the fixed shell 213.

[0057] In some other embodiments, positioning grooves 2135 are provided on the inner surfaces of the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142, and positioning protrusions 2145 are provided on the outer surface of the fixed shell 213. The positioning protrusions 2145 and the positioning grooves 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214.

[0058] By implementing this embodiment, when the movable shell 214 is connected to the side of the fixed shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, the positioning protrusion 2145 will engage in the positioning groove 2135, so that the positioning protrusion 2145 and the positioning groove 2135 cooperate to position the movable shell 214, preventing the movable shell 214 from easily disengaging from the fixed shell 213 due to external forces. When it is necessary to switch the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240, it is only necessary to apply a force sufficient to disengage the positioning protrusion 2145 from the positioning groove 2135 to separate the movable shell 214 from the fixed shell 213.

[0059] refer to Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the outer side surface of the movable shell 214 is provided with two receiving grooves 2136, which are used to receive the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142, respectively.

[0060] Specifically, without the receiving groove 2136, the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 protrude from the outer surface of the fixed shell 213. This not only hinders the miniaturization of the outer shell 210, but also creates a step at the junction of the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 with the fixed shell 213, resulting in poor aesthetics of the outer shell 210. With the receiving groove 2136, the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 can be accommodated within the receiving groove 2136. This not only makes the outer shell 210 smaller, but also makes the junction of the first sidewall 2141 and the second sidewall 2142 with the fixed shell 213 smoother, thus improving the aesthetics of the outer shell 210.

[0061] refer to Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the positioning groove 2135 is disposed on the outer side of the fixing shell 213. The fixing shell 213 is also provided with a through groove 2137 that connects the positioning groove 2135 and the side of the fixing shell 213 away from the second opening 2131. The positioning protrusion 2145 can enter and exit the positioning groove 2135 through the through groove 2137. In the direction of the through groove 2137 near the second opening 2131, the depth of the through groove 2137 tends to decrease.

[0062] Specifically, since the through groove 2137 connects the positioning groove 2135 and the side of the fixing shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, and the first side wall 2141 and the second side wall 2142 are movably connected to the side of the fixing shell 213 away from the second opening 2131, the positioning protrusion 2145 can enter and exit the positioning groove 2135 through the through groove 2137. Furthermore, because the depth of the through groove 2137 tends to decrease in the direction near the second opening 2131, the through groove 2137 can guide the positioning protrusion 2145, allowing it to enter the positioning groove 2135 through the through groove 2137.

[0063] refer to Figure 9 In some embodiments, the side of the positioning protrusion 2145 facing the bottom of the positioning groove 2135 is an arc-shaped surface, which can play a guiding role so that the positioning protrusion 2145 can enter the positioning groove 2135.

[0064] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 In some embodiments, the connecting portion 2143 is provided with a magnetic attracting member 270, and the mounting base 220 includes a third side wall 221 and a fourth side wall 222 disposed adjacent to the first plug-in terminal 230 and the second plug-in terminal 240. The third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 are disposed opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the rotation center line. Both the third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 have magnetic attracting structures 260, and the magnetic attracting member 270 attracts the magnetic attracting structure 260.

[0065] By implementing this embodiment, the magnetic suction component 270 can be used in conjunction with the magnetic suction structure 260 on the third side wall 221 and the fourth side wall 222 to increase the connection stability between the movable shell 214 and the fixed shell 213, further preventing the movable shell 214 from easily separating from the fixed shell 213 due to external forces, resulting in an excellent user experience.

[0066] It is worth mentioning that, referring to Figure 11, the magnetic structures 260 on the third sidewall 221 and the fourth sidewall 222 can be integrally formed, which can reduce the number of parts and assembly steps, thereby reducing the production cost of the data cable 1000; for example, the magnetic structures 260 on the third sidewall 221 and the fourth sidewall 222 are connected by a connecting arm 261, and the connecting arm 261 is provided with a clearance opening 2611 for the first plug-in terminal 230 to pass through.

[0067] Optionally, the magnetic attraction structures 260 on the third sidewall 221 and the fourth sidewall 222 can also be separately provided, which is not limited in this embodiment. It is worth mentioning that the magnetic attraction structure 260 is defined as a component that can attract the magnetic attractant 270. Therefore, the magnetic attraction structures 260 on the third sidewall 221 and the fourth sidewall 222 can be the same or different, as long as they can attract the magnetic attractant 270. For example, the magnetic attractant 270 is a magnet, the magnetic attraction structure 260 on the third sidewall 221 is an iron block that can be attracted by the magnet, and the magnetic attraction structure 260 on the fourth sidewall 222 is an iron block that can be attracted by the magnet, or another magnet that can be attracted by the magnet.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, the connecting part 2143 is provided with a mounting groove, which is used to limit the mounting of the magnetic suction component 270.

[0069] Specifically, without a mounting slot, the magnetic component 270 can only be assembled according to a virtual preset position, which can easily lead to misalignment of the magnetic component 270. This not only results in poor product consistency but may also affect the attraction effect between the magnetic component 270 and the magnetic structure 260. To solve this technical problem, this embodiment provides a mounting slot on the connecting part 2143. The mounting slot provides a clear assembly position for the magnetic component 270, preventing misalignment. Therefore, implementing this embodiment not only improves product consistency but also ensures the magnetic attraction effect between the magnetic component 270 and the magnetic structure 260.

[0070] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Those skilled in the art can modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and all such modifications and substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
