Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Type-C connector technology, and specifically to a bending-resistant enhanced Type-C connector. Background Technology

[0002] The Type-C connector is a USB interface standard that is smaller than both Type-A and Type-B. It can be used in both PCs (host devices) and external devices (slave devices, such as mobile phones).

[0003] Currently, Type-C connectors generally consist of a cable and a Type-C interface. The cable is directly fixed to the Type-C interface. During use, the bending force will be applied to the connection between the cable and the Type-C interface for a long time, and the position of the bend cannot be adjusted. Prolonged bending may lead to breakage or damage. Furthermore, when plugged into a Type-C charger, the metal shell on the Type-C interface has low strength, and once subjected to lateral impact, the metal shell may bend. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a bending-resistant enhanced Type-C connector that can change the position of the bending point and increase the firmness when plugged into a Type-C charger, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a bending-resistant enhanced Type-C connector, including a cable, both ends of which are equipped with Type-C interfaces. A frame is fitted on the shell of each Type-C interface. Multiple widening plates are installed on one end of each frame via hinges. The widening plates are arranged parallel to each other, one above the other, and are in contact with the shell of the Type-C interface. An adjustment sleeve is fitted on the cable near the Type-C interface. Multiple connecting plates are installed between the adjustment sleeve and the frame.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution, each side of the frame is provided with a shaft hole, and the Type-C interface housing is provided with a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole on one side. The second positioning hole is located close to the metal housing of the Type-C interface. Each shaft hole is provided with a positioning post. One end of each positioning post is inserted into the first positioning hole, and the other end is installed with a push block. Each positioning post is fitted with a compression spring. One end of each compression spring is installed on the frame, and the other end is installed on the push block.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, multiple limiting blocks are installed on both sides of the frame near the widening plate. One side of the limiting block is flush with the end face of the frame, and the limiting blocks are all located between the hinges.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, all hinge components are torsion spring hinges.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a rubber layer is installed on the inner side of the adjusting sleeve, and the rubber layer is in contact with the surface of the cable.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the widening plate, frame, connecting plate, and adjusting sleeve are all made of engineering plastic materials.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a clearance space is formed between the adjustment sleeve and the Type-C interface.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the shape of the inner cavity of the frame matches the shape of the cross-section of the Type-C interface shell.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, the bending point of the cable is applied to the adjusting tube, and the position of the adjusting tube can be changed, which avoids rapid breakage caused by repeated application of a bending point in one place. Furthermore, after the Type-C interface is plugged into the Type-C charger, the outward-opening reinforcing plate increases the contact area with the Type-C charger, which can better withstand the lateral impact on the Type-C interface and reduce the probability of bending of the metal shell on the Type-C interface.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0022] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features for a similar purpose, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a bending-resistant enhanced Type-C connector, including a cable 2, both ends of which are equipped with Type-C interfaces 1. A frame 3 is fitted onto the shell of the Type-C interface 1. Multiple widening plates 4 are installed on one end of each frame 3 via hinges. The widening plates 4 are arranged parallel to each other, one above the other, and are in contact with the shell of the Type-C interface 1. An adjustment sleeve 5 is fitted onto each part of the cable 2 near the Type-C interface 1. Multiple connecting plates 7 are installed between the adjustment sleeve and the frame 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, a shaft hole is provided on one side of the frame 3, and a first positioning hole 11 and a second positioning hole 12 are provided on one side of the outer shell of the Type-C interface 1. The second positioning hole 12 is located close to the metal shell on the Type-C interface 1. A positioning post is provided in each shaft hole. One end of each positioning post is inserted into the first positioning hole 11, and a push block 8 is installed on the other end. A compression spring 9 is sleeved on the outside of each positioning post. One end of each compression spring 9 is installed on the frame 3, and the other end is installed on the push block 8.

[0025] In this embodiment, multiple limiting blocks 10 are installed on both sides of the frame 3 near the widening plate 4. One side of the limiting block 10 is flush with the end face of the frame 3, and the limiting blocks 10 are all located between the hinge members.

[0026] In this embodiment, the hinges are all torsion spring hinges. The torsion spring hinges allow the widened plate to rest against the outer surface of the Type-C interface, preventing it from opening on its own.

[0027] In this embodiment, a rubber layer 6 is installed on the inner side of the adjusting sleeve 5. The rubber layer 6 is in contact with the surface of the cable 2. The rubber layer can prevent the cable from directly contacting the adjusting sleeve, thus avoiding damage to the cable caused by contact with hard objects.

[0028] In this embodiment, the widening plate 4, the frame 3, the connecting plate 7, and the adjusting sleeve 5 are all made of engineering plastic materials, which increases the sturdiness and reduces the weight.

[0029] In this embodiment, a clearance space is formed between the adjustment sleeve 5 and the Type-C interface 1, so that the adjustment sleeve can move smoothly toward one end of the Type-C interface to change the position of the adjustment sleeve.

[0030] In this embodiment, the shape of the inner cavity of the frame 3 matches the shape of the cross-section of the Type-C interface 1 shell, so that the inner side of the frame can fit with the outer surface of the interface, increasing stability.

[0031] Because the cable is fitted with an adjustment sleeve, the bending point of the cable will act on the adjustment sleeve during normal use;

[0032] When connected to a Type-C charger, the push block can be pushed outward. The movement of the push block drives the positioning post. After the positioning post moves out of the first positioning hole, the frame can move towards one end of the metal shell. The movement of the frame drives the widening plate, connecting plate and adjusting sleeve, and opens the widening plate outward until the outer side of the widening plate abuts against the limiting block. The inner side of the widening plate is flush with the end face of the shell on the Type-C interface. When the metal shell is inserted into the Type-C charger, the widening plate can be placed on the surface of the Type-C charger, increasing the contact area with the Type-C charger, better withstanding the lateral impact on the Type-C interface, and reducing the probability of bending of the metal shell on the Type-C interface.

[0033] Furthermore, after the frame moves, the adjusting sleeve also moves, which changes the position of the cable's bending point, thus preventing rapid breakage caused by repeated action at a single bending point in one place.

[0034] After the frame is moved into place, the positioning pin can be inserted into the second positioning hole to position the moved frame.

[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
