Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Data cables are usually long and inconvenient to carry. To solve this problem, data cables can usually be designed as coils for easy storage.

[0003] The data cable storage device includes a data cable, a rotating shaft, a turntable, a swing arm structure, and plastic terminal blocks (the terminal blocks are injection molded onto a plastic part). Users need to retract and extend the data cable and implement an anti-reverse function. When the data cable is pulled, it drives the turntable to rotate, and the swing arm structure slides along the turntable, thus preventing the data cable from retracting. To achieve this anti-reverse function, the plastic terminal block is typically used as a locking mechanism. However, if the plastic terminal block is used as a locking mechanism, it needs to extend beyond the edge of the terminal block. This prevents the terminal block from being connected to the material strip during injection molding (because connecting to the material strip would create two notches on the edge of the plastic terminal block, which would affect the swing arm structure during cable pulling). Therefore, the terminal block must be manually inserted into the mold to complete the injection molding process, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0052] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 11 This utility model provides a preferred embodiment of a data cable storage device.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a data cable storage device, comprising: an upper cover 1, a lower cover 2, a turntable 3, a terminal block plastic part 4, an upper terminal block 5, a lower 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 upper terminal block 5; the upper terminal block 5 is disposed on the terminal block plastic part 4; the terminal block plastic part 4 is disposed on the turntable 3; the rotating shaft 8 is disposed on the upper cover 1, the turntable 3 is disposed between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2, and is sleeved on the rotating shaft 8; the lower terminal block 6 is disposed on the lower cover 2 and electrically connected to the upper terminal block 5; 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; the turntable 3 is provided with a locking structure 31, and the locking assembly 7 is disposed on the lower cover 2, the locking assembly 7 being used to cooperate with the locking structure 31 to lock the turntable 3.

[0054] Specifically, the upper terminal block 5 is disposed on the terminal block plastic part 4, wherein the terminal block plastic part 4 is injection molded onto the upper terminal block 5, realizing the function of circuit board + connector. The lower terminal block 6 is disposed in the lower cover 2, wherein the lower cover 2 is injection molded onto the lower terminal block 6, also realizing the function of circuit board + connector. The terminals of the upper terminal block 5 and the lower terminal block 6 are electrically connected, and one end of the data cable 10 is electrically connected to the upper terminal block 5, thus realizing the connection between the data cable 10 and the lower terminal block 6. The data cable 10 can be a TYPE-C data cable, and the other end of the TYPE-C data cable is a male connector. The lower terminal block 6 can be connected to chargers, computers, tablets, etc. Taking a charger as an example, when the data cable storage device is used as a charging device, the lower terminal block 6 is connected to the charger to realize the charging function.

[0055] The upper cover 1 and the lower cover 2 are snap-fitted together. The terminal block plastic component 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, and the terminal block plastic component 4 rotates with the turntable 3. The spring 9 stores power to return the turntable 3 to its initial position, and the locking component 7 can cooperate with the locking structure 31 on the turntable 3 to lock the turntable 3, thereby allowing the data cable 10 to be maintained in a state where it is pulled out to a certain length for user convenience.

[0056] It is important to understand that during the molding process of the upper terminal block 5, i.e., when the upper terminal block 5 and the terminal block plastic part 4 are injection molded, and when the lower terminal block 6 and the lower cover 2 are injection molded, both are achieved using an injection molding machine. Specifically, please refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 First, the upper terminal block 5 and the lower terminal block 6 need to be obtained through a stamping process. The terminal blocks obtained after stamping are generally connected by a strip 20, which facilitates subsequent automatic production on the injection molding machine. For example, the lower terminal block 6 can be automatically fed to the injection molding machine through the strip 20 to achieve automated production. However, for the lower terminal block 6, because the plastic part of the lower terminal block 6 needs to cooperate with the locking component 7 to complete the locking function of the turntable 3, the outer diameter of the plastic part will be larger than the outer diameter of the lower terminal block 6. That is, part of the plastic part will protrude from the edge of the lower terminal block 6. In this way, if the lower terminal block 6 is connected by the strip 20 for injection molding, two notches will be added to the plastic part (the notches left after the strip 20 is removed). Ultimately, this will affect the locking component 7 when pulling the data cable 10, such as making the cable pull not smooth.

[0057] In this invention, the locking structure that works in conjunction with the locking component 7 to achieve the locking function is transferred to the turntable 3. Specifically, the locking function is achieved by replacing the original plastic part of the lower terminal block 6 with the locking structure 31 on the turntable 3. This eliminates the need for the plastic part of the lower terminal block 6 to extend beyond its edge, allowing for automated feeding via the material belt 20, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The card slot structure 31 is provided in a plurality of manner and is arranged at intervals along the edge of the upper terminal block 5 on the turntable 3, and a receiving groove 32 is formed between two adjacent card slot structures 31.

[0059] Specifically, the locking structure 31 surrounds the lower terminal block 6 and is spaced apart along the edge of the lower terminal block 6. A receiving groove 32 is provided between adjacent locking structures 31. In the initial state, the portion of the locking component 7 that abuts against the locking structure 31 is located in the receiving groove 32, and the locking component 7 does not contact the locking structure 31. The number of locking structures 31 can be set to 5, 7, 8, etc., and the number of locking structures 31 corresponds to the number of stop positions. In one implementation, the number of locking structures 31 can be set to 7.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking assembly 7 includes: a retaining spring 71, an upper swing arm 72, and a lower swing arm 73; the retaining spring 71 is engaged with the lower cover 2; the upper swing arm 72 is rotatably connected to the lower cover 2 and abuts against the retaining spring 71; the lower swing arm 73 is rotatably connected to the lower cover 2 and is located between the upper swing arm 72 and the lower cover 2; when the data cable 10 is pulled, the data cable 10 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, the turntable 3 drives the upper swing arm 72 to swing, and the upper swing arm 72 drives the lower swing arm 73 to rotate; when the turntable 3 is locked, the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the lower swing arm 73 and the locking structure 31 respectively.

[0061] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8The lower cover 2 has two slots, and the two ends of the retaining spring 71 are engaged in the slots of the lower cover 2. The upper swing arm 72 is mounted on the first mounting post 21 of the lower cover 2, and the lower swing arm 73 is mounted on the second mounting post 22 of the lower cover 2. Both the upper swing arm 72 and the lower swing arm 73 are rotatably connected to the lower cover 2. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the data cable 10 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, the turntable 3 drives the upper swing arm 72 to swing, and the upper swing arm 72 drives the lower swing arm 73 to rotate. When it is necessary to lock the turntable 3, the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the lower swing arm 73 and the locking structure 31 respectively, so that the turntable 3 stops rotating.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8 The upper swing arm 72 includes a first locking block 721, a second locking block 722, and an abutment portion 723. The first locking block 721 and the second locking block 722 are disposed on both sides of the lower swing arm 73. The abutment portion 723 is located at the bottom of the upper swing arm 72. The lower swing arm 73 includes a third locking block 731, which is disposed at intervals along the edge of the lower swing arm 73 on the side of the lower swing arm 73 near the upper swing arm 72. In the initial state, the abutment portion 723 is located in the receiving groove 32. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the second locking block 722 abuts against the third locking block 731 to drive the lower swing arm 73 to rotate. When the turntable 3 is locked, the abutment portion 723 abuts against the locking structure 31, and the first locking block 721 and the third locking block 731 are engaged.

[0063] In this embodiment, the size of the abutment portion 723 of the upper swing arm 72 is adapted to the size of the receiving groove 32. In the initial state, the abutment portion 723 is located within the receiving groove 32. When the data cable 10 is pulled, the turntable 3 rotates, the abutment portion 723 disengages from the receiving groove 32 and slides on the locking structure 31, the upper swing arm 72 swings, and the second locking block 722 of the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the third locking block 731 of the lower swing arm 73, causing the lower swing arm 73 to swing with the upper swing arm 72. When the data cable 10 is stopped being pulled, the abutment portion 723 abuts against the locking structure 31, the first locking block 721 abuts against the third locking block 731, causing the turntable 3 to stop rotating, thereby achieving the anti-reverse function, and the data cable 10 stops moving.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The third locking block 731 is provided with an abutment groove 732. When the turntable 3 is locked, the first locking block 721 abuts against the abutment groove 732.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the turntable 3 is in the locked state, the abutting part 723 of the upper swing arm 72 abuts against the locking structure 31, and the first locking block 721 of the upper swing arm 72 engages with the abutting groove 732 on the third locking block 731 of the lower swing arm 73 to lock the turntable 3, and the data line 10 is prevented from retracting.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The back of the terminal block plastic part 4 is provided with a partition structure 41, and the terminals of the upper terminal block 5 are located between the partition structures 41; the turntable 3 is provided with a clearance hole 33 for the data cable 10 to pass through at the position corresponding to the partition structure 41.

[0067] In this embodiment, when installing the upper terminal block 5, the data cable 10 is first soldered onto the upper terminal block 5. To prevent short circuits between the terminals of the upper terminal block 5 during soldering, a partition structure 41 is provided on the back of the terminal block plastic part 4. During soldering, the solder joints are isolated by the partition structure 41, thus preventing the solder from connecting adjacent terminals together and causing a short circuit. After soldering the data cable 10 onto the upper terminal block 5, the terminal block plastic part 4 with the upper terminal block 5 is installed on the turntable 3. The data cable 10 can pass through the clearance hole 33 on the turntable 3 and then be wound around the turntable 3.

[0068] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 8 is a metal rotating shaft 8, and the upper cover 1 is formed on the rotating shaft 8 by injection molding.

[0069] In this embodiment, the hinge 8 is made of metal, which increases its strength and extends the lifespan of the data cable storage device. The hinge 8 can be injection molded onto the upper cover 1 or assembled onto the upper cover 1, for example, using a threaded connection. In this embodiment, the upper cover 1 is injection molded onto the hinge 8, and the upper cover 1 and the hinge 8 are integrally formed.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and join Figure 3The turntable 3 includes a first mounting part 34, a second mounting part 35, a third mounting part 36, and a fourth mounting part 37; the spring 9 is housed in the first mounting part 34, and one end of the spring 9 is connected to the third mounting part 36; the first mounting part 34 is provided with a first notch, and the second mounting part 35 is provided with a second notch, the first notch and the second notch forming a fixing groove 38; 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 38; the fourth mounting part 37 is located on one side of the third mounting part 36 and is spaced apart from the second mounting part 35.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first mounting part 34 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 34, and one end of the spring 9 is fixedly connected to the third mounting part 36. The first mounting part 34 and the second mounting part 35 are respectively provided with notches at the contact points with the data cable 10. The two notches form a fixing groove 38. The data cable 10 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 101 that matches the size of the fixing groove 38. The data cable 10 is clamped between the first mounting part 34 and the second mounting part 35 through the snap-fit ​​part 101, thus 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 from loosening due to glue failure. To provide space for soldering the data cable 10, the position between the fourth mounting part 37 and the second mounting part 35 is hollowed out to form the clearance hole 33. The fourth mounting part 37 abuts against the data cable 10, providing support for the data cable 10.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 This utility model also provides a manufacturing method for the data cable storage device described above, which includes the following steps:

[0073] S100, The upper terminal block and the lower terminal block connected by the material strip are obtained by stamping.

[0074] S200, the sampling injection molding process is used to form the terminal block plastic parts onto the upper terminal block, and the injection molding process is used to form the lower cover onto the lower terminal block;

[0075] S300. Solder the data cable onto the upper terminal block;

[0076] S400. Install the terminal block plastic parts onto the turntable, and pass the data cable through the turntable and wrap it around the turntable;

[0077] S500: The spring is assembled on the turntable and the shaft, the locking assembly is assembled on the upper cover, and the upper cover and the lower cover are assembled together.

[0078] In this embodiment, both the upper and lower terminal blocks are obtained through a stamping process and are connected together by a strip, enabling automatic feeding during the injection molding process. After the injection molding of the upper and lower terminal blocks is completed, the plastic parts of the terminal blocks form a single unit with the upper terminal block, and the lower terminal block forms a single unit with the lower cover. The data cable is then soldered to the lower terminal block, and the plastic parts of the terminal blocks are installed on the turntable. Next, the spring and locking assembly are installed sequentially. Finally, the upper and lower covers are fastened together to complete the assembly of the entire data cable storage device.

[0079] In this embodiment, no plastic material needs to be reserved around the lower terminal block, that is, the plastic part of the terminal block does not need to extend out of the lower terminal block. Therefore, the lower terminal block can be connected to the material strip. The lower terminal block achieves automatic feeding during the injection molding process, eliminating the need for manual feeding and reducing production costs.

[0080] In summary, the data cable storage device and its manufacturing method provided by this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0081] By setting the locking structure on the turntable, that is, transferring the locking structure from the terminal block plastic part to the turntable, the terminal block plastic part can be injection molded into the upper terminal block in the process. The upper terminal blocks can be connected together by the material strip to achieve automated production. Compared with the traditional manual operation to complete the injection molding process of a single upper terminal block, the production efficiency is improved.

[0082] The aforementioned partition structure is provided on the back of the terminal block plastic parts. During soldering, the solder joints are isolated by the partition structure, which can prevent the solder from connecting two adjacent terminals together and causing a short circuit during soldering.

[0083] The hinge is made of metal, and the top cover is injection molded onto the hinge. This increases the strength of the hinge, thereby extending the service life of the data cable storage device.

[0084] The data cable is clamped between the first mounting part and the second mounting part through its buckle, realizing the fixed connection between the data cable and the turntable. This eliminates the need for glue, preventing the data cable from loosening due to glue failure, and can withstand greater pressure.
