Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable technology, specifically a retractable data cable. Background Technology
[0002] A data cable is a cable used to connect electronic devices, enabling data transfer or power supply. It allows data to be transferred between different electronic devices or between an electronic device and a computer. For example, copying photos and videos from a mobile phone to a computer, transferring files from a computer to an external hard drive, or having a printer receive print commands from a computer all require a data cable. Data cables can also transfer power to electronic devices, charging them. For instance, charging devices like mobile phones, tablets, and smartwatches is achieved by connecting the power adapter to the device using a data cable.
[0003] Existing retractable data cables have the following drawbacks:
[0004] (1) Existing data cables come in different lengths, making them inconvenient to handle in different scenarios.
[0005] (2) Existing data cables are prone to tangling when wrapped, making them very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a retractable data cable that can be wound up and picked up for data cables of different lengths and can avoid the data cables from getting tangled.
[0007] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a retractable data cable, including a connector, a guide block one and a guide block two are fixedly connected to the upper side of the connector, a data cable is wound around the outer side of the guide block one and the guide block two, six cover plates are provided on the upper side of the connector, a servo motor is connected to the inner side of the connector, a drive wheel is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, a driven wheel is engaged on one side of the drive wheel, and the drive wheel and the driven wheel are rotatably connected to the inner side of the connector.
[0008] Furthermore, the drive wheel has six evenly distributed limiting grooves I inside, and each of the six limiting grooves I is slidably connected to a limiting post. Each of the six limiting posts is fixedly connected to a connecting rod on its lower side. The connecting seat has six evenly distributed limiting grooves II, and the six connecting rods slide within the six limiting grooves II.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the six connecting rods has a movable plate fixedly connected to its end, and the six cover plates are respectively hinged to the top of the six movable plates.
[0010] Furthermore, one of the active plates has a slot, and one end of the data cable extends through the slot to the outside of the connector.
[0011] Furthermore, the distance from the six cover plates to the connector is less than twice the diameter of the data cable.
[0012] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are as follows:
[0013] (1) This utility model is equipped with a servo motor, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, limit posts and movable plates. By starting the servo motor, its output end drives the drive wheel to rotate, and the driven wheel rotates, which in turn drives the six limit posts to slide in the six limit grooves. The six connecting rods slide in the six limit grooves, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the six movable plates. When the six movable plates extend outward, they provide a larger winding area for the data cable. When they retract inward, they facilitate the collection of shorter data cables and make it convenient for personnel to carry.
[0014] (2) The present invention is provided with six hinged cover plates, and the distance from the cover plate to the connecting seat is less than twice the diameter of the data cable, which can avoid the data cable from being stacked when winding and reduce the probability of the winding data cable being messed up.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals.
[0021] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0022] To make the content of this utility model easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a retractable data cable includes a connector 1. A guide block 1 (2) and a guide block 2 (3) are fixedly connected to the upper side of the connector 1. A data cable 4 is wound around the outer sides of the guide blocks 1 (2) and 2 (3). Six cover plates 5 are provided on the upper side of the connector 1. A servo motor 6 is connected to the inner side of the connector 1. A drive wheel 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 6. A driven wheel 8 is engaged on one side of the drive wheel 7. The drive wheel 7 and the driven wheel 8 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the connector 1. Six evenly distributed limiting grooves 1 (9) are formed inside the drive wheel 7. Limiting posts 10 are slidably connected inside the six limiting grooves 1 (9). Connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the lower sides of the six limiting posts 10. Six evenly distributed limiting grooves 2 (12) are formed on the connector 1. The six connecting rods 11 slide within the six limiting grooves 2 (12). By starting the servo motor 6, its output end drives the drive wheel 7 to rotate, and the driven wheel 8 in the transmission engagement rotates, thereby driving the six limit posts 10 to slide inside the six limit grooves 9 respectively, and driving the six connecting rods 11 to slide inside the six limit grooves 12 respectively, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the six movable plates 13. When the six movable plates 13 extend outward, they provide a larger winding area for the data cable. When they retract inward, they facilitate the collection of shorter data cables and make it convenient for personnel to carry.
[0024] Each of the six connecting rods 11 has a movable plate 13 fixedly connected to its end. Each of the six cover plates 5 is hinged to the top of one of the movable plates 13. One of the movable plates 13 has a slot 14. The distance from each of the six cover plates 5 to the connecting seat 1 is less than twice the diameter of the data cable 4. This distance helps prevent the data cable 4 from overlapping during winding, reducing the probability of the data cable becoming tangled.
[0025] One end of the data cable 4 extends through the slot 14 to the outside of the connector 1. The slot 14 on one of the movable plates provides a channel for the data cable 4 to extend to the outside of the connector 1 and connect to the device. This makes the data cable 4 more flexible in its use and adaptable to different application scenarios.
[0026] In practical use, the data cable 4 is unwound and wound through guide block 2 and guide block 3. The servo motor 6 is activated, causing its output to drive the active wheel 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel 8, causing the six limiting posts 10 to slide within the six limiting grooves 9. This, in turn, drives the six connecting rods 11 to slide within the six limiting grooves 12, thereby enabling the extension and retraction of the six movable plates 13. When the six movable plates 13 extend outwards, they provide a larger winding area for the data cable; when they retract inwards, they facilitate the collection of shorter data cables and make them easier for personnel to carry. The distance from the cover plate 5 to the connecting seat 1 is less than twice the diameter of the data cable 4, which can, to some extent, prevent the data cable 4 from overlapping during winding, reducing the probability of the winding data cable becoming tangled.
[0027] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
