Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a TYPE-C cable connector assembly, including a housing 1, a connector 2 at one end of the housing 1, a data cable 3 at the other end of the housing 1, a protective component 4 at one end of the housing 1, and an anti-breakage component 5 on the data cable 3;
[0033] The protective component 4 includes a protective cover 41, which is located on the outside of the outer shell 1. Slider 42 is symmetrically arranged on the inner side of the protective cover 41. Guide grooves 43 are respectively provided on the top and bottom of the outer shell 1. The slider 42 is slidably connected to the guide grooves 43. A dustproof net 44 is provided at one end of the protective cover 41. Hinges 45 are symmetrically arranged between the protective cover 41 and the dustproof net 44. A first locking mechanism is provided at the bottom of the dustproof net 44, and a second locking mechanism is provided at the top of the protective cover 41. The protective cover 41 protects the connector 2, preventing the connector 2 from being damaged by external pressure. At the same time, the dustproof net 44 provides dust protection for the connector 2, preventing the connector 2 from accumulating a lot of dust, which would lead to poor contact of the connector 2. The slider 42 and the guide groove 43 are tightly engaged and can only slide when external force is applied.
[0034] The first locking mechanism includes a locking block 461, which is located at the bottom of the dustproof net 44. A mounting base 462 is located at the bottom of the protective cover 41. The locking block 461 is engaged inside the mounting base 462. A pin 463 is slidably connected to the locking block 461. One end of the pin 463 has a sliding plate 464. The pin 463 is inserted into the locking block 461 along the mounting base 462, thereby locking the dustproof net 44.
[0035] A first spring 465 is fitted on the outer surface of the pin 463. The first spring 465 is located between the mounting base 462 and the slide plate 464. A T-slot 466 is provided at the bottom of the protective cover 41. The slide plate 464 is slidably connected to the T-slot 466. The first spring 465 can drive the pin 463 back to its initial position.
[0036] The second locking mechanism includes a fixing block 471, which is located on the top of the protective cover 41. A U-shaped plate 472 is provided on one side of the fixing block 471. A sliding shaft 473 is slidably connected to the fixing block 471. A step plate 474 is provided on the sliding shaft 473. A second spring 476 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding shaft 473. The second spring 476 is located between the step plate 474 and the U-shaped plate 472. A circular plate 475 is provided at one end of the sliding shaft 473. A pin hole 477 is provided on the locking block 461. The sliding shaft 473 is inserted into the pin hole 477, thereby fixing the dustproof net 44 that has flipped to the top of the protective cover 41.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the anti-breakage component 5 includes a movable plate 51, a flexible tube 52 on one side of the movable plate 51, and a rigid tube 53 on the other side of the movable plate 51. The data cable 3 passes through the flexible tube 52 and the rigid tube 53 respectively. By wrapping the flexible tube 52 and the rigid tube 53 on the movable plate 51 around the data cable 3, the connection between the data cable 3 and the outer casing 1 is less likely to break.
[0038] A telescopic shaft 54 is symmetrically provided on the other side of the movable plate 51. A push plate 55 is provided at one end of the telescopic shaft 54, and a storage cylinder 56 is symmetrically provided at the other end of the outer shell 1. The storage cylinder 56 is slidably connected to the telescopic shaft 54. The push plate 55 is located inside the storage cylinder 56. A third spring 57 is provided on one side of the push plate 55. The third spring 57 is located inside the storage cylinder 56. Through the elastic connection mechanism between the movable plate 51 and the outer shell 1, the anti-breakage effect is better.
[0039] During use, the operator pushes the protective cover 41, which moves along the guide groove 43 away from the data cable 3 via the slider 42. The protective cover 41 protects the connector 2, preventing damage caused by external pressure. Next, the dustproof mesh 44 is rotated along the hinge 45, and then the locking block 461 on the dustproof mesh 44 is engaged inside the mounting base 462. The tension of the first spring 465 pushes the pin 463 into the locking block 461, thus fixing the dustproof mesh 44. The dustproof mesh 44 protects the connector 2 from dust accumulation, preventing poor contact and ensuring the normal operation of the TYPE-C connector assembly. When the connector 2 is in use, the sliding plate 464 is pulled, sliding along the T-slot 466. The sliding plate 464 disengages the pin 463 from the locking block 461, and then the dustproof mesh 44 is flipped to the top of the protective cover 41 via the hinge 45. Simultaneously, the circular plate 475 is pulled, which drives the sliding shaft 473 to move. The sliding shaft 473 compresses the second spring 476 through the step plate 474 to generate tension. After the dustproof net 44 flips to the top of the protective cover 41, the circular plate 475 is released. The tension of the second spring 476 drives the sliding shaft 473 to insert into the pin hole 477, thereby fixing the dustproof net 44 to the top of the protective cover 41, so as not to affect the use of the connector 2. By putting the flexible tube 52 and rigid tube 53 on the movable plate 51 onto the data cable 3, the data cable 3 will cause the flexible tube 52 to bend when it bends, and will compress the movable plate 51. The movable plate 51 pushes the push plate 55 through the telescopic shaft 54 to compress the third spring 57. The third spring 57 buffers it, which helps to protect the data cable 3. The flexible tube 52 makes it less likely for the data cable 3 to break at the joint with the outer shell 1, and thus will not cause the internal cable to break, avoiding damage to the TYPE-C connector assembly.
[0040] It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
