Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing chargers typically consist of a charging plug and a data cable. After charging a device, users usually just coil the data cable up and store it away. This can lead to the data cable becoming tangled and potentially damaged when charging is needed again. Furthermore, because the charger and data cable are stored separately, when it is urgently needed, users often find the charging plug but not the data cable, or vice versa, which affects the user experience.

[0003] Therefore, existing design solutions propose a cable winder for storing data cables; the cable winder is fixed to the charging plug, and the data cable is then wound around the cable winder to complete the storage.

[0004] However, the existing cable winder design has the problem of being bulky when it is not necessary to store the data cable. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a folding winder to solve the problem of the large size of existing winders.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is a folding winder, comprising:

[0007] The winding device body has a hollow cavity inside. The outer side wall of the winding device body has a winding area continuously arranged in the circumferential direction. The winding area has a fold structure continuously arranged in the circumferential direction. The fold structure divides the winding area into a storage part and a folding part. The folding part contracts axially around the fold structure, so that the folding part is folded and stored in the storage part.

[0008] A fixed structure is located at one end of the winding body.

[0009] Furthermore, the edge of the winding body away from the fixed structure is provided with a baffle continuously along the circumference, and the baffle is inclined towards the side facing the fixed structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the baffle is provided with multiple inwardly recessed limiting grooves along the circumferential direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes a fixing plate, a connector, and a fixing member;

[0012] A fixing plate is provided along the circumferential edge of one end of the winding body. Connectors are provided at opposite ends of the fixing plate, and each connector has a bent portion. A fixing member is connected to the other end of the connector away from the fixing plate. The fixing plates cooperate with each other to fix the winding body to the charging plug.

[0013] Furthermore, the fastener has an adhesive part on one side corresponding to the winding body.

[0014] Furthermore, both ends of the hollow cavity are open structures.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the hollow cavity with a fixed structure is a closed structure, and the other end of the hollow cavity is an open structure.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention reduces the overall volume of the folding winder by pressing the folding part to cause it to shrink axially around the crease structure, thereby folding the part over and storing it in the storage compartment. This reduces the space occupied by the folding winder and makes it portable. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Therefore, a feature pointed out in this specification is used to describe one feature of one embodiment of the present utility model, and does not imply that every embodiment of the present utility model must have the described feature. Furthermore, it should be noted that this specification describes many features. Although certain features may be combined to illustrate possible system designs, these features may also be used in other combinations not explicitly stated. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, the described combinations are not intended to be limiting.

[0032] The principle and structure of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model proposes a folding winder, comprising:

[0034] The winding device body 10 has a hollow cavity 20 inside. The outer side wall of the winding device body 10 has a winding area 30 continuously arranged circumferentially. The winding area 30 has a fold structure 40 continuously arranged circumferentially. The fold structure 40 divides the winding area 30 into a storage part 301 and a folding part 302 from top to bottom. The folding part 302 can be axially contracted around the fold structure 40, so that the folding part 302 is folded inward and stacked and stored in the storage part 301.

[0035] A fixing structure 50 is located at one end of the winding body 10.

[0036] It is understood that the folding cable winder proposed in this embodiment is illustrated by taking the storage of a mobile phone charger's data cable as an example. Correspondingly, the fixing structure 50 is fixed to the charging plug of the mobile phone charger. Of course, the folding cable winder proposed in this embodiment can also be used for other devices that need to store data cables or wires, so that the data cables or wires of other devices can be stored. The other devices are preferably power banks, iPad chargers, etc., and are not limited here. At the same time, the fixing structure 50 is fixed to the casing of the power bank, the charging plug of the iPad charger, or other suitable fixing positions of the device, and is not limited here.

[0037] The crease structure 40 proposed in this embodiment can be set in multiple ways, so that the winding area 30 can be folded multiple times, and no limitation is made here.

[0038] It should be noted that the shape of the winding body 10 proposed in this embodiment is preferably a cuboid or a cylindrical shape, and the shape of the hollow cavity 20 proposed in this embodiment is preferably a cuboid or a cylindrical shape. Of course, the shapes of the winding body 10 and the hollow cavity 20 can also be frustum, truncated pyramid or other suitable shapes depending on the actual situation, and are not limited here.

[0039] When a folding winder is needed to store the data cable, first fix the fixing structure 50 to the charging plug, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the user then unfolds the folding cable winder (that is, pulls the folding part 302 out of the storage part 301 and unfolds it), and then the user winds the data cable compatible with the charging plug around the unfolded winding area 30 to complete the storage; when the folding cable winder does not need to store the data cable, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the user can press the folding part 302 on the storage part 301 to make the folding part 302 shrink axially around the crease structure 40, so that the folding part 302 is folded and stacked in the storage part 301, thereby making the winding area 30 folded, thereby reducing the volume of the entire folding winder, thereby reducing the space occupied by the folding winder, so as to facilitate carrying; and the folding winder proposed in this embodiment has a simple structure and low cost.

[0040] Furthermore, even when the winding area 30 is in a folded state, it can still wrap the data cable for storage. However, compared to the unfolded state, the storage capacity of the folded winding area 30 is smaller. This storage capacity is equivalent to the length of the data cable wrapped around the winding area 30.

[0041] It is understood that the material of the winding area 30 proposed in this embodiment is preferably silicone, rubber, soft rubber or other materials that are easy to fold, and is not limited here.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the crease structure 40 divides the winding area 30 into a folding portion 302 and a storage portion 301 from top to bottom. The folding portion 302 can shrink axially around the crease structure 40, so that the folding portion 302 is folded over and stacked and stored in the storage portion 301. This is not limited here.

[0043] In some embodiments, to ensure that the data cable wound in the winding area 30 does not become loose, such as Figure 1 As shown, the edge of the winding body 10 away from the fixed structure 50 is provided with baffles 60 continuously in the circumferential direction, and the baffles 60 are inclined on the side facing the fixed structure 50.

[0044] It should be noted that the baffle 60, which is continuously arranged circumferentially along the edge away from the fixed structure 50, is rectangular.

[0045] In this way, when the user winds the data cable in the winding area 30 between the baffle 60 and the fixing structure 50, the baffle 60 and the fixing structure 50 cooperate to prevent the data cable from loosening towards both ends of the winding body 10, avoiding the data cable from falling and being damaged, and making it convenient to take out the data cable at any time as needed.

[0046] In some embodiments, to further ensure that the data cable wound in the winding area 30 does not loosen, such as Figure 1 As shown, the baffle 60 is provided with a plurality of inwardly recessed limiting grooves 601 along the circumferential direction.

[0047] It is understood that, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 601 is preferably provided in the center of each of the four sides of the rectangular baffle 60. Of course, multiple grooves can be provided according to actual conditions, and this is not limited here. The limiting groove 601 is composed of a circular through hole and a strip through hole. A circular through hole is provided in the center of the four sides of the baffle 60. A strip through hole is provided radially outward from the side away from the hollow cavity 20. The strip through hole communicates with the circular through hole, and the width of the strip through hole is smaller than the diameter of the data cable. The diameter of the circular through hole is equal to the diameter of the data cable. In this way, when the user squeezes the data cable into the strip through hole and into the circular through hole along the length of the strip through hole, it is ensured that the data cable will not fall into the outside through the strip through hole without the action of external force.

[0048] In this way, when the user winds the data cable around the winding area 30, after winding is complete, the user then places the data cable into the limiting slot 601 to prevent the data cable from falling out of the limiting slot 601 and being damaged. This also makes it convenient to take out the data cable as needed. In addition, this can organize various data cables and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fixing structure 50 includes a fixing plate 501, a connector 502, and a fixing member 503;

[0050] A fixing plate 501 is provided along the circumferential edge of one end of the winding body 10. Both ends of the fixing plate 501 are provided with connectors 502, and each connector 502 is provided with a bending portion 504. The other end of the connector 502 away from the fixing plate 501 is connected to a fixing member 503. The fixing plates 501 cooperate with each other to fix the winding body 10 to the charging plug.

[0051] In this way, when the user aligns the end of the cable winder body 10 with the fixing member 503 with the outer wall of the charging plug, and then the two fixing members 503 are respectively connected and fixed to the two opposite outer walls of the charging plug, the folding cable winder is stably placed on the charging plug. Furthermore, when the charger is not needed or after charging is complete, the user can axially retract the folding part 302 around the crease structure 40, folding and stacking the folding part 302 inside the storage part 301. Then, the data cable is wound around the folded winding area 30, thus completing the storage of the charger. This prevents situations where the charging plug is found but the data cable is not, or vice versa, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] Specifically, in order to ensure that the fixing member 503 matches and fits the outer wall of the corresponding charging plug, the fixing member 503 is provided with an adhesive part on one side of the winding body 10, so that the folding winding is attached to the charging plug.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the side of the fixing member 503 facing away from the winding body 10 is provided as a magnet part, and then the two outer side walls opposite to the charging plug are provided with magnetized parts made of ferromagnetic material. In this way, when one end of the fixing member 503 is fitted with the outer side wall of the charging plug, the magnet parts of the two fixing members 503 will be magnetically connected to the magnetized parts of the two outer side walls opposite to the charging plug, respectively.

[0054] Of course, the side of the fixing member 503 facing away from the winding body 10 is provided with a magnetized part made of ferromagnetic material, and then magnets are provided on the two opposite outer walls of the charging plug. In this way, when one end of the fixing member 503 is fitted with the outer wall of the charging plug, the magnetized parts of the two fixing members 503 will be magnetically connected to the magnets on the two opposite outer walls of the charging plug, which is not limited here.

[0055] In order to further improve the connection stability between the folding winder and the charging plug, the side wall of the fixing plate 501 facing away from the baffle 60 is also covered with an adhesive layer.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, both ends of the hollow cavity 20 are open structures.

[0057] In this way, one end of the cable winder body 10 with the fixing member 503 can fit against the side wall of the charging plug with the port for connecting the data cable. Then, the two fixing members 503 are respectively connected and fixed to the two opposite outer side walls of the charging plug. When the charger needs to charge the mobile phone, the data cable can be removed from the winding area 30, and one end of the data cable can be inserted into the hollow cavity 20 and connected to the charging plug. Then, the other end of the data cable can be connected to the mobile phone.

[0058] When it is necessary to store the data cable on the folding winder, there is no need to move the position of the winder body 10. Instead, the data cable is directly inserted into one of the limiting slots 601, then wound around the folded winding area 30, and finally the end of the data cable is inserted into one or two limiting slots 601 to complete the storage.

[0059] Of course, if the data cable is too long, the data cable can be partially wrapped around the winding area 30 to shorten the length of the data cable.

[0060] In other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the hollow cavity 20 has a closed structure at one end with a fixing structure 50, and an open structure at the other end away from the fixing structure 50.

[0061] In this way, the end of the cable winder body 10 with the fixing member 503 cannot be attached to the side wall of the charging plug with the port for connecting the data cable, but is attached to the outer side wall of the charging plug without the port for connecting the data cable. At this time, the data cable is directly wound around the folded winding area 30, and finally the end of the data cable is snapped into one or two limiting grooves 601 to complete the storage.

[0062] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing specific embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any equivalent structures made using the content of this utility model specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are similarly within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
