Detailed Implementation

[0042] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0045] The existing solutions for carrying data cables when out in the relevant technologies have problems such as inconvenience in carrying them and susceptibility to damage. In addition to the carrying solutions mentioned in the background technology, some users, in order to protect their data cables, first put the data cable in a special protective case or bag, and then put the protective case or bag into their backpack. However, to retrieve the data cable, one must first open the backpack, then take out the protective case or bag, and then open the protective case or bag again, which is also inconvenient for using the data cable.

[0046] This application provides a data cable assembly that not only makes it convenient to carry the data cable out, but also provides protection for the data cable.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The data cable assembly includes a data cable 20, a storage compartment 10, and a mounting bracket 40.

[0048] Data cable 20 has a charging function; when data cable 20 only has a charging function, it can also be called a charging cable. Alternatively, data cable 20 has both charging and data transfer functions. (See reference...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figures 9 to 12The data cable 20 includes a cable body 21, a first connector 22, and a second connector 23, with the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 respectively connected to opposite ends of the cable body 21. When charging an electronic device, the first connector 22 is used for electrical connection to a power source (such as a charging socket, power bank, or another terminal device), and the second connector 23 is used for electrical connection to the electronic device to be charged.

[0049] Storage compartment 10 allows users to store and protect data cables 20. The data cable assembly has a stored configuration. (See reference) Figure 3 , Figure 6 When the data cable assembly is in the storage state, the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are housed inside the storage compartment 10. The storage compartment 10 protects the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 from being scratched or damaged. Furthermore, the data cable 20 is movably or detachably connected to the storage compartment 10, keeping the data cable 20 together with the storage compartment 10 to prevent the data cable 20 from being lost.

[0050] The hanging accessory 40 connects to the storage compartment 10 and is used to connect to external items so that the storage compartment 10 can be mounted on the external item. External items refer to electronic devices, backpacks, etc. The hanging accessory 40 can be connected to the external item using one of the following connection methods: binding connection, magnetic connection, snap-fit ​​connection, fastening connection, or nylon fastener connection. The hanging accessory 40 can be, but is not limited to, a hanging rope, a snap-fit ​​hook, or a magnet.

[0051] If a user is sure to carry a certain item when going out, the user can attach the hanging part 40 to that item and store the data cable 20 in the storage compartment 10. At this time, the data cable assembly is like an accessory hanging on the item, which makes it more convenient to carry the data cable 20. On the other hand, the storage compartment 10 also provides good protection for the connectors at both ends of the data cable 20.

[0052] For example, if a user needs to carry electronic devices such as Bluetooth headsets, smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and portable music players when going out, the user can use the mounting bracket 40 to install the entire data cable assembly on the electronic device. The user can carry the data cable 20 while carrying the electronic device, which is convenient, quick, and practical.

[0053] In this scenario, when a user carries two electronic devices, one of which can act as a power source to supply power to the other via reverse charging, the user can attach the data cable assembly to either the device being charged or the electronic device acting as the reverse charging source. For example, if a user carries a smartwatch and a Bluetooth headset with a charging case, the charging case can act as a backup power source for the smartwatch, supplying power via reverse charging. In this case, the user can attach the data cable assembly's mounting bracket 40 to the Bluetooth headset's charging case. This allows for convenient use of the data cable 20 without affecting the wearing of the smartwatch, enables portable carrying of the data cable 20, and allows the user to easily access the charging data cable 20 while simultaneously taking out the charging case.

[0054] As another example, the hanging device 40 can be installed on the backpack strap to hang the entire data cable assembly on the outside of the backpack. When the user carries the backpack, the data cable 20 is carried without having to be put inside the bag, thus avoiding complicated tangling between the data cable 20 and other items inside the bag.

[0055] In related technologies, users need to carry a data cable 20 to charge electronic devices in some outing scenarios. However, current methods of carrying the data cable 20 are cumbersome and may damage it. This application can solve the problem in related technologies where carrying the data cable 20 is inconvenient and may cause damage.

[0056] The data cable assembly of this application has the following beneficial effects: First, when the data cable 20 is not in use, its connectors can be stored in the storage compartment 10, protecting them and reducing the probability of scratches, water ingress, or foreign object obstruction. This also makes the data cable 20 less prone to damage when carried outdoors. Second, because the positions of the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 at both ends of the data cable 20 are fixed when stored in the storage compartment 10, the data cable 20 will not become tangled or knotted due to repeated changes or crossing of connector positions, thus protecting the data cable 20 and making it convenient for subsequent use. Third, a hanging accessory 40 is also provided, allowing the entire data cable assembly to be hung on electronic devices or other items as an accessory. This allows users to carry the data cable 20 with them when carrying their electronic devices, making the data cable 20 easy to carry. Fourth, due to the design of the hanging bracket 40, no operation is required on the data cable 20 when carrying it (e.g., the data cable 20 does not need to be used as a lanyard, or it does not need to be put into an additional storage bag), thus providing good protection for the data cable 20.

[0057] In one embodiment, the hanging component 40 is a hanging rope connected to the storage compartment 10. The hanging rope is used to hang on external items such as electronic devices. For example, the hanging rope is used to secure and fix electronic terminal devices.

[0058] Optionally, the lanyard is used to hang on the mounting holes of the electronic device housing or the mounting holes of the electronic device protective case. For example, the lanyard is bent in the middle, and both ends of the lanyard are connected to the storage compartment 10. A loop is formed in the middle of the lanyard, which can be used to tie the entire lanyard to the electronic device body or the electronic device protective case.

[0059] In other embodiments, the mounting element 40 can be a snap-on hook. In other embodiments, the mounting element 40 can also be a card-shaped structure, which the user attaches between the electronic device and its protective case, for example, attaching the card-shaped mounting element 40 between the back of the mobile phone and the phone case. The end of the mounting element 40 passes through the hole in the protective case and extends to the outside of the protective case and connects to the storage compartment 10, thereby enabling the data cable assembly to be mounted on the electronic device.

[0060] In one embodiment, in order to better protect the connector of the data cable 20, the storage compartment 10 includes a first compartment 11 and a second compartment 12. The first compartment 11 has a first groove 111 inside, and a first opening 112 communicating with the first groove 111 is provided at the first end of the first compartment 11. The second compartment 12 is used to cover the first opening 112 when the data cable 20 needs to be stored.

[0061] The data cable assembly has both a stored state and a used state. For example... Figure 3 , Figure 6 As illustrated, when the data cable assembly is in the retracted state, both the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are located at least within the first groove 111 of the first compartment 11. The first end of the second compartment 12 is detachably connected to the first end of the first compartment 11, and the second compartment 12 covers the first opening 112. When the data cable 20 is in use, the first end of the second compartment 12 is separated from the first end of the first compartment 11 (e.g., ...). Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 (Illustrative diagram), so that the first opening 112 of the first compartment 11 is opened, and the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are pulled out from the first compartment 11 (as shown). Figures 9 to 12 (Illustrative image) for easy connection to electronic devices. It should be noted that when describing two components as detachably connected, it means that the two components are currently connected, but can be separated by user operation.

[0062] The storage compartment 10 in this embodiment has two compartments. When the data cable 20 is not needed, the first compartment 11 and the second compartment 12 work together to completely or mostly cover and protect the first connector 22 and the second connector 23, preventing them from being exposed. The second compartment 12 seals the first opening 112, preventing moisture, dust, and debris from entering the storage compartment 10 and damaging the connectors, thus providing more comprehensive protection. When the data cable 20 is needed, the second compartment 12 is opened, allowing the data cable 20 connector to be easily pulled out from the first opening 112. Compared to a design where the storage compartment 10 is open when storing the data cable 20, the storage compartment 10 in this embodiment balances protection of the data cable 20 connectors with ease of use.

[0063] When the mounting bracket 40 is attached to an electronic device, even if the user occasionally places the device with the data cable assembly on a desktop or other location while the electronic device is in their hand, the connector of the data cable 20 is well covered because the second compartment 12 covers the first opening 112 of the first compartment 11. This prevents foreign objects, moisture, and dust from damaging the connector inside the storage compartment 10. Similarly, when the mounting bracket 40 is attached to a backpack strap to carry the data cable assembly, the connector of the data cable 20 will not be exposed, protecting the terminal portion of the data cable 20 connector.

[0064] In one embodiment, the data cable 20 is movably mounted in the first compartment 11. The positions of the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 of the data cable 20 can be adjusted by pulling it out. When the data cable 20 is pulled out, the cable body 21 slides relative to the first compartment 11. Optionally, the data cable 20 and the first compartment 11 are coupled in the following way: the first compartment 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 113, one end of the first mounting hole 113 is connected to a first groove 111, and the other end is connected to the outside of the first compartment 11. The first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are movably disposed in the first groove 111 of the first compartment 11, and the cable body 21 passes through the first mounting hole 113, allowing the cable body 21 to slide within the first mounting hole 113 under the action of external force.

[0065] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, when the data cable assembly is in the retracted state, the first end of the second compartment 12 is connected to the first end of the first compartment 11, and the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are located within the first groove 111. Figures 7 to 12The data cable assembly is in use. When the data cable assembly is in use, the second compartment 12 is opened, that is, the first end of the second compartment 12 is separated from the first end of the first compartment 11, and the second compartment 12 is disengaged from the first opening 112. At this time, the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 can extend out of the first compartment 11 through the first opening 112 under the action of external force.

[0066] The first mounting hole 113 is configured to restrict the passage of the first connector 22 and the second connector 23; the first opening 112 is configured to allow the passage of both the first connector 22 and the second connector 23. This design facilitates the removal of the connectors when the second compartment 12 is opened, while reliably retaining the connectors inside the storage compartment 10 when the second compartment 12 is closed. Optionally, a first limiting step is provided on the side of the first connector 22 facing the first mounting hole 113. When the first connector 22 approaches the first mounting hole 113, the first limiting step abuts against the inner wall of the first compartment 11, preventing the first connector 22 from exiting the first mounting hole 113. Similarly, a second limiting step is provided on the side of the second connector 23 facing the second mounting hole 123. When the second connector 23 approaches the second mounting hole 123, the second limiting step abuts against the inner wall of the second compartment 12, preventing the second connector 23 from exiting the second mounting hole 123.

[0067] Optionally, the first mounting hole 113 and the first opening 112 are located at opposite ends of the first compartment 11, that is, they are located on two opposite plates of the first compartment 11, making it easier to open the second compartment 12 and pull out the data cable 20 connector. In other embodiments, the first mounting hole 113 and the first opening 112 may also be located on two adjacent plates of the first compartment 11 that are angled together.

[0068] Optionally, the wire body 21 includes a first wire portion and a second wire portion, a first connector 22 is connected to the first wire portion, the first wire portion is connected to the second wire portion, and the second wire portion is connected to the second connector 23; the first compartment 11 is provided with a first mounting hole 113 communicating with the first groove 111, and the first wire portion and the second wire portion pass through the first mounting hole 113.

[0069] In one embodiment, the second compartment 12 is connected to the first compartment 11 by a flexible connector. In this way, when the second compartment 12 is opened, the first end of the second compartment 12 is separated from the first end of the first compartment 11, so as to open the first opening 112 of the first compartment 11 to facilitate the removal of the connector. At the same time, the second compartment 12 is still connected to the first compartment 11 by the flexible connector, so the second compartment 12 will not be lost and is convenient to use.

[0070] In one embodiment, the hanging component 40 is a hanging rope, which is a flexible component, and the second compartment 12 and the first compartment 11 are connected by the hanging rope. The hanging rope is used to hang the data cable assembly on other items for easy carrying of the data cable assembly when going out, and the hanging rope also serves to connect the second compartment 12 and the first compartment 11.

[0071] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 2 The second compartment 12 is provided with a second mounting hole 123, through which a lanyard is threaded, and the end of the lanyard is connected to the first compartment 11. The lanyard can slide within the second mounting hole 123 under external force. When the user needs to use the data cable 20, the second compartment 12 is opened, and the second compartment 12 slides relative to the lanyard.

[0072] A lanyard can be installed in at least the following ways:

[0073] Hanging rope configuration method one: such as Figure 6 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, both ends of the lanyard are connected to the first compartment 11. The lanyard is bent to form two segments, both of which are threaded through the second mounting hole 123. The lanyard is bent at a point away from the first compartment 11. The portion of the lanyard extending out of the second compartment 12 through the second mounting hole 123 can be used to secure it to an external object (such as an electronic device). After the lanyard is secured to the external object, the second compartment 12 is restrained between the electronic device and the first compartment 11 by the lanyard, preventing the second compartment 12 from being lost.

[0074] Second lanyard configuration: Not shown in the figure, the first end of the lanyard is connected to the first compartment 11, and the second end of the lanyard passes through the second mounting hole 123 and is tied to an external item (such as an electronic device).

[0075] Third configuration of the hanging rope: Based on configuration one, a partition strip (not shown in the figure) is set in the middle of the second mounting hole 123. Both ends of the partition strip are connected to the wall of the second mounting hole 123, dividing the second mounting hole 123 into two holes. The two segments of the hanging rope are respectively passed through the two holes. The setting of the partition strip ensures that the second compartment 12 cannot be separated from the hanging rope even when no external items are hung on it.

[0076] In one embodiment, the second compartment 12 not only serves as a cover for the first compartment 11, but also accommodates the connector of the data cable 20 when the data cable assembly is in its retracted state. Please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 6The second compartment 12 has a second groove 121 inside and a second opening 122 at the first end of the second compartment 12. The second groove 121 communicates with the outside of the second compartment 12 through the second opening 122.

[0077] When the data cable assembly is in the retracted state, the first end of the second compartment 12 is detachably connected to the first end of the first compartment 11, the first opening 112 is close to the second opening 122, and the first groove 111 is connected to the second groove 121 through the first opening 112 and the second opening 122.

[0078] Optionally, the second groove 121 of the second compartment 12 is used to accommodate other connectors besides the first connector 22 and the second connector 23. For example, the second groove 121 is used to accommodate an adapter connector 30, which can be adapted to the first connector 22 or the second connector 23. In other embodiments, the second groove 121 of the second compartment 12 is used to accommodate a portion of the first connector 22 and / or a portion of the second connector 23.

[0079] In one embodiment, the data cable assembly includes an adapter 30. In this embodiment, the adapter 30 is configured to connect to a second connector 23. In other embodiments, the adapter 30 may also be used to connect to a first connector 22.

[0080] In related technologies, there are numerous interfaces on the market for electronic devices, requiring different data cables 20 and charging cables with different interfaces for charging. However, the types of interfaces on the connectors at both ends of a conventional data cable 20 are fixed, making its use inconvenient. This embodiment addresses this by providing an adapter 30, allowing the data cable 20 to have two states. Depending on the interface type of the electronic device, users can choose to use either the second connector 23 or the adapter 30 to charge the device, meeting the application needs of more scenarios and improving the efficiency, convenience, and economy of the data cable assembly.

[0081] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 10 With the second compartment 12 having a second groove 121 and a second opening 122, when the data cable 20 is in the retracted state, both the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are at least partially retracted within the first groove 111, and the adapter connector 30 is at least partially retracted within the second groove 121. By providing the second groove 121 in the second compartment 12, the storage compartment 10 can also provide a storage function for the adapter connector 30. This allows users to carry the adapter connector 30 along with the data cable 20, making it convenient to use at any time. Furthermore, the adapter connector 30 is less likely to be lost.

[0082] In one embodiment, when the data cable assembly includes an adapter 30, the data cable 20 has a first state and a second state.

[0083] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 When the data cable 20 is in the first state, the adapter 30 is installed on the second connector 23, and the adapter 30 and the second connector 23 are physically and electrically connected. The first connector 22 and the adapter 30 are used for electrical connection with the terminal device. Figure 7 , Figure 8 The second connector 23 is located inside the first compartment 11 and is blocked by the adapter 30.

[0084] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 When the data cable 20 is in the second state, the adapter 30 is separated from the second connector 23. The first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are used for electrical connection with the terminal equipment, respectively.

[0085] The first connector 22 is provided with a first connection terminal 221, and the second connector 23 is provided with a second connection terminal 231; one end of the adapter connector 30 is provided with a third connection terminal 31, and the other end is provided with a fourth connection terminal 32. When the data cable 20 is in the first state, it is electrically connected to the third connection terminal 31 through the second connection terminal 231, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the second connector 23 and the adapter connector 30. The first connection terminal 221, the second connection terminal 231, the third connection terminal 31, and the fourth connection terminal 32 are each configured as follows: the connection terminal is one of USB-A, USB-B (USB-C is also known as Type-B), USB-C (USB-C is also known as Type-C), Mini-USB, Micro-USB, Lightning, and Pogopin.

[0086] For example, the first connection terminal 221 is Type-C, the second connection terminal 231 is a Pogo pin, the third connection terminal 31 is a Pogo pin, and the fourth connection terminal 32 is a USB-A. Correspondingly, when the data cable 20 is in the first state, its two ends are Type-C and USB-A respectively, and the data cable 20 can be used to charge devices such as mobile phones and earphone cases. When the data cable 20 is in the second state, its two ends are Type-C and Pogo pin respectively, and the data cable 20 can be used to charge smartwatches.

[0087] It should be noted that the difference between the first and second states of the data cable 20 lies only in whether or not the adapter 30 is installed and used.

[0088] In one embodiment, when the data cable 20 is in the first state, the second connector 23 and the adapter connector 30 are magnetically connected, so that the second connector 23 and the adapter connector 30 remain relatively fixed when no external force is applied, and the second connection terminal 231 remains electrically connected to the third connection terminal 31. A first magnet is provided inside the second connector 23, and a second magnet is provided inside the adapter connector 30. When the second connector 23 approaches the adapter connector 30, the first magnet and the second magnet attract each other under the action of magnetic attraction, so that the adapter connector 30 and the second connector 23 are attracted and fixed together.

[0089] In other embodiments, when the data cable 20 is in the first state, the second connector 23 and the adapter connector 30 can also be physically connected and fixed by means of insertion, snap-fit, etc.

[0090] In one embodiment, the second compartment 12 is provided with a second slot 121, and the data cable assembly includes an adapter 30 and a storage base 50. (See also...) Figures 5 to 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 12 The storage base 50 includes a first base portion 51 and a second base portion 52. The first base portion 51 is provided with a first slot 511, and the second base portion 52 is provided with a second slot 521. The storage base 50 is disposed within the second slot 121 of the second compartment 12, and the storage base 50 is connected to the second compartment 12. Specifically, the first base portion 51 has a slot opening for the first slot 511 on the side near the first compartment 11, and the second base portion 52 has a slot opening for the second slot 521 on the side near the first compartment 11.

[0091] When the data cable assembly is in the retracted state, the first connector 22 is at least partially inserted into the first slot 511 to protect and position the first connector 22; the adapter 30 is at least partially inserted into the second slot 521 to protect and position the adapter 30.

[0092] Optionally, when the data cable assembly is in the stored state, the adapter 30 and the second connector 23 are also attracted to each other by magnetic attraction, thereby protecting the terminals at the end of the second connector 23 and positioning the second connector 23.

[0093] With the storage base 50 having two slots (two seats), when the data cable assembly is in the storage state, the second compartment 12 covers the first opening 112 of the first compartment 11, which not only protects the internal connectors from dust and water, but also positions the first connector 22, the second connector 23, and the adapter connector 30, keeping these connectors stable within the storage compartment 10.

[0094] Optionally, the height of the second seat 52 is less than the height of the first seat 51, and the opening of the second slot 521 of the second seat 52 is closer to the first compartment 11 than the opening of the first slot 511 of the first seat 51. (Refer to...) Figures 5 to 8 The first seat 51 extends out of the second groove 121 of the second compartment 21 through the second opening 122, that is, the end of the first seat 51 protrudes outward relative to the second compartment 12. Thus, referring to... Figure 6 When the data cable assembly is in the retracted state, the end of the first base 51 is inserted into the first groove 111 of the first compartment 11. (Refer to...) Figure 6 When the data cable assembly is in the storage state, the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are basically at the same level inside the first compartment 11. However, the front end of the second connector 23 is also connected to the adapter 30. Through the staggered design of the first base 51 and the second base 52 in this embodiment, when the first connector 22 and the second connector 23 are basically at the same level, the storage base 50 can also be connected to the first connector 22 through the first base 51 and to the adapter 30 through the second base 52. The internal space is used reasonably, and the three connectors will not shake randomly or rub against each other to cause wear in the storage compartment 10, which has a good protective effect on the connectors.

[0095] In other embodiments, the storage base 50 may not be provided.
