Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of components for connecting devices, and more particularly to an electronic device accessory. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous popularization and development of electronic devices, the accessories for these devices are also being updated and iterated accordingly. Some of these accessories come with built-in data cables, such as power banks and adapters. Currently, most of these accessories use a recessed design on the casing, with the data cable fitted into the recessed area for secure storage.

[0003] However, during the storage and retrieval of the data cable, there is strong friction between the interference fit data cable and the groove. After long-term use, not only will both sides wear down and reduce the aesthetics, but the fixing strength may also be reduced. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides an electronic device accessory in which the data cable can be fixed in the first groove of the housing through a snap-fit ​​structure. During the process of retracting the data cable, the elastic element of the snap-fit ​​structure deforms and provides a small frictional force, resulting in less wear on the elastic element, the data cable and the first groove.

[0005] This application provides an electronic device accessory, comprising: a housing, wherein a first groove is formed on a first surface of the housing; a data cable, partially located inside the housing, for electrically connecting to an electronic device or a power source; and a locking structure, including a slot and an elastic element, wherein the slot is disposed in the first groove, and the elastic element is disposed in the data cable, and / or the slot is disposed in the data cable, and the elastic element is disposed in the first groove; wherein, when the data cable is housed in the first groove, the slot and the elastic element engage to fix the data cable within the first groove.

[0006] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, since the first groove and the data cable are respectively provided with a slot and an elastic element, the slot and the elastic element can engage with each other to fix the data cable in the first groove. The first groove can protect part of the data cable and can also press the elastic element to remove the data cable from the first groove. The structure is simple and convenient to use. During the process of storing and removing the data cable, the elastic element is deformed by being pressed by the first groove and / or the data cable. The main friction between the data cable and the first groove is provided by the elastic element. The storage and removal of the data cable causes little wear to itself, the elastic element and the first groove, which helps to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device accessories and helps to maintain the reliability of the fixation.

[0007] In some embodiments, the data cable includes a wire and a connector; the slot is disposed on the connector, and the elastic element is correspondingly disposed on the first groove, and / or, the elastic element is disposed on the connector, and the slot is correspondingly disposed on the first groove.

[0008] Thus, the connector is fixed in the first groove by the snap-fit ​​structure, and both ends of the data cable are fixed. The connector at one end is fixed in the first groove, and the wire at the other end is fixed at the penetration point of the housing, which helps to improve the stability of the data cable in the first groove.

[0009] In some embodiments, the two slots are respectively disposed on both sides of the connector, and the elastic members are correspondingly disposed on the side walls of the first groove; or, the two elastic members are respectively disposed on both sides of the connector, and the slots are correspondingly disposed on the side walls of the first groove.

[0010] Therefore, both sides of the connector are equipped with a snap-fit ​​structure, which makes the force on the connector more uniform and allows the connector to be more stably and firmly fixed in the first groove.

[0011] In some embodiments, a plurality of the slots are arranged sequentially on the connector along the extension direction of the connector, and a plurality of elastic elements are correspondingly disposed in the first groove; or, a plurality of elastic elements are arranged sequentially on the connector along the extension direction of the connector, and a plurality of slots are correspondingly disposed in the first groove.

[0012] Therefore, the connector and the first groove are provided with multiple engaging structures, which makes the connector more stable and firmly fixed in the first groove.

[0013] In some embodiments, the elastic element includes a metal spring or a positioning bead.

[0014] Therefore, the metal springs and positioning beads can provide stable rebound force and low friction, resulting in a good feel and low cost.

[0015] In some embodiments, a portion of the sidewall of the first groove surrounds the outline of the data line, while another portion is spaced apart from the data line.

[0016] This allows users to insert their fingers into the gap and remove the data cable from there, making it easy to detach the data cable.

[0017] In some embodiments, the data line is provided with at least two lines, and at least two first grooves are provided corresponding to the data line, with the extension directions of each first groove being parallel to each other.

[0018] Therefore, electronic device accessories can be electrically connected to two or more electronic devices via data cables; electronic device accessories can also be electrically connected to a power source via one data cable, while other data cables are used to connect to electronic devices, thus adapting to various application scenarios. The first groove is arranged in a relatively regular manner on the first surface, which helps to improve the space utilization on the first surface.

[0019] In some embodiments, a second groove is formed on the second surface of the housing, and at least one data line can be housed in the second groove and interference-fitted with the sidewall of the second groove; wherein the second surface is adjacent to the first surface.

[0020] Therefore, some data cables can be staggered to allow for relatively independent use, reducing the probability of mutual interference between data cables.

[0021] In some embodiments, the housing is further provided with a socket for electrically connecting electronic devices or a power source.

[0022] Therefore, electronic device accessories can be used to charge, discharge, or connect to other electronic devices via the connector, making them suitable for a wider range of applications.

[0023] In some embodiments, the electronic device accessory further includes a battery cell, and the data cable passes through the housing and is electrically connected to the battery cell.

[0024] Therefore, the battery cell can be charged and discharged at least through the data line.

[0025] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, the following are specific embodiments of this application.

[0043] The following is a detailed description of this application.

[0044] With the continuous popularization and development of electronic devices, the accessories for these devices are also being updated and iterated accordingly. Some of these accessories come with built-in data cables, such as power banks and adapters. Currently, most of these accessories use a recessed design on the casing, with the data cable fitted into the recessed area for secure storage.

[0045] However, during the storage and retrieval of the data cable, there is strong friction between the interference fit data cable and the groove. After long-term use, not only will both sides wear down and reduce the aesthetics, but the fixing strength may also be reduced.

[0046] The inventors of this application discovered through research that a snap-fit ​​structure can be provided between the data cable and the first groove, so that the data cable and the first groove can be detachably connected through the snap-fit ​​structure. The elastic element in the snap-fit ​​structure can meet the strength required for fixation, while minimizing wear on the first groove and the data cable.

[0047] Based on this design concept, this application provides an electronic device accessory, which includes: a housing, on the first surface of the housing having a first groove; a data cable, partially located inside the housing, for electrically connecting to an electronic device or a power source; and a locking structure including a slot and an elastic member, the slot being located in the first groove and the elastic member being located in the data cable, and / or the slot being located in the data cable and the elastic member being located in the first groove; wherein, when the data cable is housed in the first groove, the slot and the elastic member engage to fix the data cable within the first groove.

[0048] Because the first groove and the data cable are respectively provided with a slot and an elastic element, the slot and the elastic element can engage with each other to fix the data cable in the first groove. The first groove can protect part of the data cable and can also press the elastic element to remove the data cable from the first groove. The structure is simple and convenient to use. During the process of storing and removing the data cable, the elastic element is deformed by being pressed by the first groove and / or the data cable. The main friction between the data cable and the first groove is provided by the elastic element. The storage and removal of the data cable causes little wear to itself, the elastic element, and the first groove, which helps maintain the aesthetic appearance of electronic device accessories and helps maintain the reliability of the fixation.

[0049] The following explanation is based on the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Figure 1 A perspective view of an electronic device accessory provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 A perspective view of an electronic device accessory provided for another embodiment of this application; Figure 3 An exploded view of an electronic device accessory provided in another embodiment of this application; Figure 4 An exploded view of an electronic device accessory with a hidden first surface provided for yet another embodiment of this application; Figure 5 for Figure 4 A magnified view of part A in the middle; Figure 6 A perspective view of an electronic device accessory provided in yet another embodiment of this application.

[0051] This application provides an electronic device accessory, such as... Figures 1 to 3As shown, the device includes: a housing 10, on which a first groove 102 is formed on the first surface 101 of the housing 10; a data cable 11, partially located inside the housing 10, for electrically connecting to an electronic device or power supply; and a locking structure 12, including a slot 121 and an elastic member 122, wherein the slot 121 is disposed in the first groove 102, and the elastic member 122 is disposed in the data cable 11, and / or the slot 121 is disposed in the data cable 11, and the elastic member 122 is disposed in the first groove 102; wherein, when the data cable 11 is housed in the first groove 102, the slot 121 and the elastic member 122 engage to fix the data cable 11 in the first groove 102.

[0052] The electronic device accessory includes a housing 10, a data cable 11, and a locking structure 12. A first groove 102 is formed on the surface of the housing 10, and this surface is referred to as the first surface 101. The data cable 11 passes through the housing 10 and is partially exposed, and can be accommodated in the first groove 102. Locking structures 12 that can cooperate with each other are respectively provided on the first groove 102 and the data cable 11, and the first groove 102 and the data cable 11 are detachably connected through the locking structures 12.

[0053] The housing 10 encloses a receiving space, and a portion of the data cable 11 is located within the receiving space, with the data cable 11 passing through the housing 10 and protruding from the receiving space. The portion of the data cable 11 located within the receiving space can be electrically connected to a circuit board or a battery cell. The housing 10 may have multiple surfaces, and the first surface 101 may be any one of the surfaces of the housing 10.

[0054] Optionally, the data cable 11 passes through the second surface 103, with a portion of the data cable 11 located within the receiving space and another portion of the data cable 11 extending from the second surface 103 and being able to bend in a direction parallel to the first surface 101. The data cable 11 is bent to a direction parallel to the first surface 101 and received in the first groove 102.

[0055] Alternatively, the data cable 11 passes through the bottom wall of the first groove 102 of the first surface 101, with a portion of the data cable 11 located within the receiving space and another portion of the data cable 11 extending from the first surface 101 and being able to bend in a direction parallel to the first surface 101. The data cable 11 is bent to a direction parallel to the first surface 101 and received in the first groove 102.

[0056] The second surface 103 is adjacent to the first surface 101.

[0057] At least one engaging structure 12 is provided, and each engaging structure 12 includes a slot 121 and an elastic element 122 that can engage with each other. When the data cable 11 is placed in the first groove 102, the engaging structure 12 is located on the surfaces of the data cable 11 and the first groove 102 that are directly opposite each other.

[0058] The card slot 121 can be set on the data cable 11, and the elastic element 122 can be set on the first groove 102 corresponding to the position of the card slot 121; or the card slot 121 can be set on the first groove 102, and the elastic element 122 can be set on the data cable 11 corresponding to the position of the card slot 121; or the card slot 121 and the elastic element 122 can be set on the data cable 11, the elastic element 122 can be set on the first groove 102 corresponding to the position of the card slot 121, and the card slot 121 can be set on the first groove 102 corresponding to the position of the elastic element 122.

[0059] When the data cable 11 is not in use, it can be placed in the first groove 102, which stores it. The elastic member 122, located between the first groove 102 and the data cable 11, can be inserted into the slot 121, where it is engaged by the side wall of the slot 121. When the data cable 11 is needed, it is removed from the first groove 102. During removal, the elastic member 122 is compressed and deformed, releasing the engagement between the elastic member 122 and the slot 121.

[0060] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, since the first groove 102 and the data cable 11 are respectively provided with a slot 121 and an elastic member 122, the slot 121 and the elastic member 122 can engage with each other to fix the data cable 11 in the first groove 102. The first groove 102 can protect part of the data cable 11, and can also press the elastic member 122 to remove the data cable 11 from the first groove 102. The structure is simple and convenient to use. During the process of storing and removing the data cable 11, the elastic member 122 is pressed by the first groove 102 and / or the data cable 11 and deforms. The main friction between the data cable 11 and the first groove 102 is provided by the elastic member 122. The wear of the data cable 11 on itself, the elastic member 122 and the first groove 102 is small, which helps to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the electronic device accessories and helps to maintain the reliability of the fixation.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the data cable 11 includes a cable 111 and a connector 112; a slot 121 is provided on the connector 112, and an elastic element 122 is correspondingly provided on the first groove 102, and / or, the elastic element 122 is provided on the connector 112, and a slot 121 is correspondingly provided on the first groove 102.

[0062] The data cable 11 includes a cable 111 and a connector 112. The cable 111 passes through the housing 10, one end of the cable 111 is electrically connected to a circuit board or a battery cell, and the other end of the cable 111 is electrically connected to the connector 112.

[0063] The sidewall of the first groove 102 at least partially conforms to the outline of the data cable 11. The connector 112 is an interface for electrically connecting to an electronic device or an external power source. Exemplarily, the interface of the connector 112 can be a USB interface, such as a type-A interface, a type-B interface, and a type-C interface, through which the cable 111 can be electrically connected to an electronic device or an external power source.

[0064] Optionally, a slot 121 is formed on the connector 112, and an elastic element 122 is provided in the first groove 102 corresponding to the position of the slot 121. The slot 121 may be located on at least one side surface of the connector 112 facing the side wall of the first groove 102, and the elastic element 122 may be correspondingly provided on the side wall of the first groove 102; the slot 121 may also be located on the surface of the connector 112 facing the bottom wall of the first groove 102, and the elastic element 122 may be correspondingly provided on the bottom wall of the first groove 102.

[0065] Alternatively, an elastic element 122 may be provided on the connector 112, and a slot 121 may be formed in the first groove 102 corresponding to the position of the elastic element 122. The elastic element 122 may be located on at least one side surface of the connector 112 facing the side wall of the first groove 102, and the slot 121 may be correspondingly provided on the side wall of the first groove 102; the elastic element 122 may also be located on the surface of the connector 112 facing the bottom wall of the first groove 102, and the slot 121 may be correspondingly provided on the bottom wall of the first groove 102.

[0066] Thus, the connector 112 is fixed in the first groove 102 by the snap-fit ​​structure 12, and both ends of the data cable 11 are fixed. The connector 112 at one end is fixed in the first groove 102, and the wire 111 at the other end is fixed at the point through the housing 10, which helps to improve the stability of the data cable 11 fixed in the first groove 102.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, two slots 121 are respectively provided on both sides of the connector 112, and elastic elements 122 are correspondingly provided on the side walls of the first groove 102; or, two elastic elements 122 are respectively provided on both sides of the connector 112, and slots 121 are correspondingly provided on the side walls of the first groove 102.

[0068] With the data cable 11 housed in the first groove 102, slots 121 can be provided on both sides of the connector 112 facing the side wall of the first groove 102, and elastic elements 122 can be provided on the side walls of the first groove 102 respectively; or elastic elements 122 can be provided on both sides of the connector 112 facing the side wall of the first groove 102, and slots 121 can be provided on the side walls of the first groove 102 respectively.

[0069] Therefore, both sides of the connector 112 are provided with a locking structure 12, and the connector 112 is subjected to more uniform force, so that the connector 112 can be more stably and firmly fixed in the first groove 102.

[0070] In some embodiments, a plurality of slots 121 are arranged sequentially on the connector 112 along the extension direction of the connector 112, and a plurality of elastic elements 122 are correspondingly disposed in the first groove 102; or, a plurality of elastic elements 122 are arranged sequentially on the connector 112 along the extension direction of the connector 112, and a plurality of slots 121 are correspondingly disposed in the first groove 102.

[0071] Optionally, multiple slots 121 are arranged along the extension direction of the connector 112, and all slots 121 located on the same extension line are considered as a row of slots 121. At least one row of slots 121 is provided on the connector 112. When the data cable 11 is housed in the first groove 102, the slots 121 can be provided on any surface of the connector 112 facing the first groove 102, for example, two rows of slots 121 are respectively provided on both sides of the connector 112. The elastic member 122 is provided on the first groove 102 corresponding to the position of the slot 121.

[0072] Alternatively, multiple elastic elements 122 may be arranged along the extension direction of the connector 112, with all elastic elements 122 located on the same extension line considered as a row of elastic elements 122. At least one row of elastic elements 122 may be provided on the connector 112. With the data cable 11 housed in the first groove 102, the elastic elements 122 may be disposed on any surface of the connector 112 facing the first groove 102, for example, two rows of elastic elements 122 may be disposed on opposite sides of the connector 112. The slot 121 is disposed on the first groove 102 corresponding to the positions of the elastic elements 122.

[0073] Alternatively, at least one row of slots 121 and at least one row of elastic elements 122 may be provided on the connector 112, and at least one row of elastic elements 122 and at least one row of slots 121 may be provided in the first groove 102.

[0074] With the data cable 11 housed in the first groove 102, the extension direction of the connector 112 is parallel to the extension direction of the first groove 102.

[0075] Therefore, the connector 112 and the first groove 102 are provided with multiple engaging structures 12, so that the connector 112 is more stably and firmly fixed in the first groove 102.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the elastic element 122 includes a metal spring 1221 or a positioning bead (not shown in the figure).

[0077] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 5As shown, the elastic element 122 includes a metal spring 1221. The metal spring 1221 is disposed on both side walls of the first groove 102. The metal spring 1221 includes a fixing part 1222, a deformable part 1223, and a engaging part 1224. The fixing part 1222 is connected to the housing 10, one end of the deformable part 1223 is connected to the fixing part 1222, and the other end of the deformable part 1223 is connected to the engaging part 1224. The deformable part 1223 can be bent about the end near the fixing part 1222, thereby causing the engaging part 1224 to extend into or out of the groove 121.

[0078] Therefore, the 1221 metal spring and the positioning bead can provide stable rebound force and low friction, resulting in a good feel and low cost.

[0079] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a portion of the sidewall of the first groove 102 surrounds the outline of the data line 11, while the other portion is spaced apart from the data line 11.

[0080] The first groove 102 has an opening that opens away from the receiving space. The first groove 102 also has a bottom wall opposite the opening and a side wall adjacent to the bottom wall. The data cable 11 can extend into the first groove 102 through the opening. A portion of the side wall of the first groove 102 surrounds the outline of the data cable 11, while another portion of the side wall of the first groove 102 has a gap between it and the data cable 11, forming a notch. The notch can be located at the connector 112 or at the cable 111.

[0081] Therefore, the user can insert their finger into the gap and take out the data cable 11 from the gap, making it easy to remove the data cable 11.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the data line 11 has at least two lines, and the first groove 102 is provided at least two times for the data line 11, with the extension directions of each first groove 102 being parallel to each other.

[0083] Multiple first grooves 102 can be formed on the first surface 101, or the first grooves 102 can be formed on the first surface 101 and the second surface 103 respectively. The first grooves 102 can also be formed on the third surface. The third surface is the surface directly opposite the first surface 101.

[0084] Therefore, the electronic device accessory can be electrically connected to two or more electronic devices via the data cable 11; the electronic device accessory can also be electrically connected to a power source via one data cable 11, and other data cables 11 can be electrically connected to electronic devices, thus adapting to various application scenarios. The first groove 102 is arranged in a relatively regular manner on the first surface 101, which helps to improve the space utilization on the first surface 101.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second surface 103 of the housing 10 has a second groove 104, at least one data line 11 can be housed in the second groove 104 and have an interference fit with the side wall of the second groove 104; wherein, the second surface 103 is adjacent to the first surface 101.

[0086] Data cables 11 that are used less frequently, i.e., data cables 11 that do not need to be frequently retracted, can be stored using traditional storage methods to reduce costs.

[0087] Therefore, some data lines 11 can be staggered to facilitate relatively independent use, reducing the probability of mutual interference between data lines 11.

[0088] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a socket 13 for electrically connecting electronic equipment or a power supply.

[0089] The socket 13 can be located on any surface of the housing 10, such as the first surface 101, the third surface opposite to the first surface 101, and the second surface 103 adjacent to the first surface 101.

[0090] Multiple ports 13 can be configured, and these ports 13 can use the same type of interface or different types of interfaces. The interface can be a USB interface, such as a type-A interface, a type-B interface, or a type-C interface.

[0091] Therefore, electronic device accessories can be charged, discharged, or connected to other electronic devices via the connector 13, making them suitable for a wider range of applications.

[0092] In some embodiments, the electronic device accessory also includes a battery cell, with the data cable 11 passing through the housing 10 and electrically connected to the battery cell.

[0093] The battery cell is located within the housing and is used to store and provide electrical energy. The battery cell can be a rechargeable battery, which is a battery that can be recharged after a single cell has discharged, allowing the active materials to be reactivated and reused.

[0094] Therefore, the battery cell can be charged and discharged at least through data line 11.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a switch 14 is provided on the housing 10.

[0096] The switch 14 can be disposed on any surface of the housing 10. The switch 14 is electrically connected to the circuit board and is used to control the on / off state of the circuit. Furthermore, the circuit board, the battery cell, and the switch 14 are electrically connected to each other. When the switch 14 is turned on, the three form a circuit; when the switch 14 is turned off, the circuit is broken.

[0097] Therefore, disconnecting the power to the battery cells when not in use helps reduce the risk of accidental electric shock.

[0098] The electronic device accessory of this application includes a housing 10, a data cable 11, and a locking structure 12. The housing 10 has a first groove 102, and the locking structure 12 includes a slot 121 and a metal spring 1221. The slot 121 is provided on the connector 112 of the data cable 11, and the metal spring 1221 is provided in the first groove 102.

[0099] The user can remove the data cable 11 from the first groove 102 for use, and then put the data cable 11 back into the first groove 102 after use. During the process of inserting the data cable 11 into the first groove 102, the connector 112 presses against the metal spring 1221, causing the metal spring 1221 to deform. After the data cable 11 is fully inserted into the first groove 102, the metal spring 1221 aligns with the slot 121 and returns to its original shape, locking into the slot 121, thus securing the data cable 11. The principle for removing the data cable 11 is the same.
