Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product charging cable and data cable storage technology, and in particular to a cable storage and hanging system for data cables and charging cables. Background Technology

[0002] Data cables are essential peripherals for modern electronic systems such as mobile phones and tablets, requiring them for data transfer and charging. With the increasing prevalence of portable electronic products, especially smartphones and tablets, data cables have become an indispensable part of everyday life. Currently, data cables, charging cables, and other power cord storage products typically use individual storage sleeves or rope structures, with hooks added to the storage rope for hanging functionality.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN207069153U discloses a lanyard data cable, including a data cable and a storage device. The data cable includes a USB interface, a data interface, and a cable body. The storage device includes a main body and a cover. The USB interface and data interface at both ends of the data cable can be housed inside the storage device. The cover is installed at one end of the main body to prevent the USB interface and data interface from falling out of the main body. The cable body extends from the other end of the main body to form a lanyard. This utility model enables the data cable to be used as a lanyard to hang items; while avoiding bending and tangling of the data cable, it expands the functionality of the data cable, giving it more uses.

[0004] Another Chinese utility model patent, CN222168808U, discloses a retractable charging cable with a mobile phone lanyard function. It includes a charging cable assembly, a hook, and a base. The charging cable assembly includes a protective shell and a charging plug. The protective shell has a cavity with its two ends communicating with each other. The charging plug is slidably disposed within the cavity inside the protective shell. When the charging plug slides to the bottom of the cavity, it is in a retracted and hidden state. Vertically spaced grooves of a certain depth are formed on opposite sides of the charging plug. These grooves extend downwards along the sides of the charging plug to near its bottom. The length of the grooves is the maximum travel distance of the charging plug as it slides outwards from the protective shell. This utility model features a protective shell with the charging plug slidingly mounted inside. When charging is not needed, the charging plug can be hidden and stored in the protective shell, effectively preventing damage to the plug and making it very practical. Furthermore, by incorporating a hook and base, with the base connected and fixed to the phone, the charging cable assembly can be suspended from the phone, making it more convenient to carry. The charging cable assembly can also be used as a phone lanyard or ornament.

[0005] While the aforementioned existing patents can achieve the storage and hanging of charging cables and data cables, they require additional hooks or fasteners, increasing manufacturing costs and usage complexity. Furthermore, the storage products lack protection mechanisms against cable wear or accidental detachment, affecting lifespan and safety. Therefore, a simpler, more protective solution for cable storage and hanging is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a simpler structure and a protective cable storage and hanging device, and to provide at least a beneficial option or create conditions for solving one or more technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A cable storage and hanging device includes a locking connector, a cable, and a support member. The locking connector has a first locking position and a second locking position on two opposite sides, which form an opposite locking structure. The two ends of the cable enter the locking positions from different directions and are locked in place. The support member is snapped into the middle of the cable to support the suspended items and reduce wear on the cable caused by the suspended items.

[0009] More preferably, both the first locking position and the second locking position are locking slots, and the two locking slots are offset on opposite sides of the locking connector.

[0010] More preferably, a fixing position is provided in the locking slot for locking and fixing both ends of the wire.

[0011] More preferably, the first locking position and the second locking position are rotary snap-locking structures, spring clamping locking structures or magnetic fixing locking structures.

[0012] More preferably, a hanging recess is provided on the lower side of the locking connector, or a hanging hole is provided on the top of the locking connector.

[0013] More preferably, the body of the wire is flat, with necks at both ends, the necks respectively matching the first locking position and the second locking position on the locking connector.

[0014] More preferably, the neck is located on the two opposite sides of the wider part of the wire, and the neck is a concave arc structure that transitions from the end of the wire to the middle of the wire.

[0015] More preferably, the body of the wire can be in the shape of a round strip, and the two ends of the wire form necks that match the first locking position and the second locking position through right-angle transition structures.

[0016] More preferably, the support member is a U-shaped, O-shaped, or S-shaped structure, and has an outward-curved edge for wrapping and fastening with the wire.

[0017] More preferably, the support component is a flexible or rigid component, such as a silicone component, a rubber component, a metal component, a plastic component, or a rubber-coated metal core structure.

[0018] The technical solution provided by this utility model has at least the following technical effects or advantages.

[0019] 1. The suspension structure is simpler: the suspension is achieved through the wire and locking connector, eliminating the need for additional hooks. The wire itself has both storage and suspension functions, achieving integrated storage and suspension and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0020] 2. Opposite locking design: The two ends of the wire are fixed to the locking connector from different directions, which significantly improves stability and reduces the risk of falling off.

[0021] III. Protective function of the support component: The support component not only reduces wire wear, but also provides secondary protection when the wire falls off, ensuring the safety of the suspended items.

[0022] Other beneficial effects of this invention will become more apparent in the following description or may be learned through practice. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, making the technical solution and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0043] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will become apparent in the following description or may be learned by practice of this invention.

[0044] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, a cable storage and hanging device includes a locking connector 1, a cable 2, and a support 3. The locking connector 1 has a first slot 1-1 and a second slot 1-2 on two opposite sides for fixing the two ends of the cable 2. The support 3 is snapped into the middle of the cable 2. The support 3 can be a flexible part, such as a silicone part, or a rigid part, such as a plastic part or a metal part. The support 3 is used to support the suspended items and reduce the wear and tear on the cable 2 caused by the suspended items.

[0045] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the body of the wire 2 is flat, with necks 2-3 and 2-4 at its two ends 2-1 and 2-2, respectively. These necks 2-3 and 2-4 mate with the first slot 1-1 and the second slot 1-2 on the locking connector 1. Preferably, the necks are located on the two wider opposite sides of the wire and are concave arc structures transitioning from the ends to the middle. This makes the connection between the wire 2 and the slots on the locking connector 1 more stable and less prone to detachment. In some embodiments, the body of the wire 2 may be cylindrical, and the necks at both ends may have right-angle transition structures, not limited to this embodiment.

[0046] Combined Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first slot 1-1 and the second slot 1-2 have the same shape and are offset on opposite sides of the locking connector 1. The two ends of the wire 2 are fixed to the locking connector 1 from different directions, achieving opposite-directional locking, which significantly improves stability and reduces the risk of the wire falling off due to unidirectional external force. Preferably, the first slot 1-1 and the second slot 1-2 are also provided with a fixing position 1-3 that cooperates with the neck of the wire 2. By setting the fixing position 1-3, the connection can be further tightened, improving the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0047] This utility model provides a wire storage and hanging device. The first slot 1-1 and the second slot 1-2 on the locking connector 1 adopt a fastening design to precisely match the necks at both ends of the wire 2. The fixing operation is as follows: 1) Insert the neck 2-3 of the first end 2-1 of the wire 2 into the first slot 1-1, and move the first end 2-1 downwards. Automatic locking is achieved through the fastening structure of the first slot 1-1. 2) Insert the neck 2-4 of the second end 2-2 of the wire into the second slot 1-2, and move the second end 2-2 downwards. Automatic locking is achieved through the fastening structure of the second slot 1-2, completing the locking connection and fixing of the wire 2 to the locking connector 1. This locking structure ensures that both ends of the wire are firmly fixed to the locking connector 1, preventing slippage or detachment.

[0048] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, the disassembly procedure is as follows: First, push wire 2 upwards to disengage its ends 2-1 and 2-2 from the corresponding first slot 1-1 and second slot 1-2; then, wire 2 can be completely removed from the slots. This two-step design significantly reduces the risk of wires falling off due to accidental contact, ensuring the stability of suspended items.

[0049] Combination Figure 7As shown, the support member 3 has a U-shaped structure, with outward-curling edges 3-1 and 3-2 on both sides for wrapping and fastening with the wire 2. The main functions of the support member 3 include: 1) providing a hanging point, allowing the wire 2 to be hung on a backpack or other items; 2) reducing friction between the wire 2 and the suspended item through material selection (soft or hard), extending the lifespan of the wire 2; and 3) maintaining the U-shaped structure in case one end of the wire 2 accidentally falls, preventing the suspended item from falling immediately and enhancing safety.

[0050] It should be noted that the slot structure of the locking connector 1 is not limited to the examples above. In some embodiments, the slot may adopt other existing or future known locking mechanisms, such as rotating buckles, spring clamps or magnetic fixation, to replace the slot fastening structure, as long as it can achieve opposite-direction locking and fixation of the wires.

[0051] It should be noted that the material and shape of the support 3 are not limited to the examples above. In some embodiments, the support 3 can be changed to other shapes, such as O-shape or S-shape, or composite materials, such as rubber-coated metal core, to enhance durability or adapt to different suspension scenarios.

[0052] It should be noted that the shape of the locking connector 3 is not limited to the examples above. In some embodiments, a recess is provided on the lower side of the locking connector 1 or a hanging hole is provided on the top of the locking connector 1 to meet different suspension requirements and adapt to different suspension scenarios.

[0053] It should also be noted that in the description of this utility model, directional terms such as "center", "horizontal", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this utility model.

[0054] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in this description of the utility model, "at least" means one or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0055] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "assembly," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can also refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0056] In this utility model, unless otherwise 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," "below," and "over" the second feature includes the first feature being 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. "Above," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being 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.

[0057] Based on the above description of the structure and principle, those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Improvements and substitutions made using techniques known in the art based on this utility model all fall within the protection scope of this utility model, which should be defined by the claims and their equivalents.
