Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable connectors, and in particular to a modular data cable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Existing data cable connectors are mainly used for charging or data transmission of electronic devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers).

[0003] With the diversification of connector designs, existing connectors are also equipped with display devices to display predetermined data (such as temperature, transmission speed, charging power, or charging percentage). The current practice is to use a one-piece injection molding method, which improves both ease of use and the aesthetics of the connector.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN202320621183.3 uses an integrated injection molding structure to achieve the installation and fixation of the display device. However, in actual production, it was found that the predetermined temperature would affect the stability of the display screen and even cause damage. Therefore, the melting temperature requirement for the integrated injection molding plastic is lower, thereby reducing damage to the display screen. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to propose a modular data cable connector, which aims to improve the design of existing display devices and thereby achieve modular installation while enhancing the aesthetics of the connector.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a modular data cable connector, comprising:

[0007] An electronic component, comprising a PCB board, a connector disposed on the PCB board, and a display device connected to the PCB board, wherein the PCB board and the display device are connected by a cable;

[0008] The inner shell includes an upper frame and a lower frame that cooperate with each other, the upper frame and the lower frame forming a receiving cavity, the upper frame having a through hole, the PCB board being disposed in the receiving cavity, the connector extending out of the inner shell, and the display device extending out of the through hole and disposed on the upper wall of the upper frame.

[0009] The outer shell is integrally formed and has a positioning cavity that conforms to the shape of the inner shell. The inner shell extends into the positioning cavity and is locked in place.

[0010] The outer casing is located above the display device and has a window opposite to it.

[0011] In practical design, modular assembly is achieved by modularizing the connectors (i.e., electronic components), positioning the electronic components using an inner shell, and then securing the inner shell with an outer shell.

[0012] The data cable's mesh tail and the rear end of the outer casing are locked together, thus assembling the connector.

[0013] Its structure is simple, and it effectively protects the stability of electronic components. At the same time, this design can also effectively reduce the high temperature generated by the PCB board during high-power charging, thus improving the stability of use. Attached Figure Description
