Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of data cable technology, and in particular relates to a foldable HDMI data cable. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of high-definition multimedia technology, HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), as a widely used digital video and audio interface standard, has become the preferred solution for connecting various high-definition display devices (such as televisions, projectors, computer monitors, etc.) and high-definition signal sources (such as Blu-ray players, game consoles, high-definition cameras, computers, etc.). As a key component in realizing this technology, the performance and convenience of the HDMI cable directly affect the user experience.

[0003] Traditional HDMI cables are mostly designed with a fixed length, which is particularly inconvenient in scenarios where space is limited or frequent carrying is required. To solve this problem, the market has tried using magnetic coiling for storage, but this solution has limitations in many aspects.

[0004] While magnetic cable management can reduce cable clutter to some extent by using built-in magnetic components to attract cables together during winding, keeping them compact and organized, this design not only increases product complexity and production costs but may also potentially impact signal transmission quality. More importantly, the risk of weakened or failed magnetism after prolonged and frequent use cannot be ignored. This would directly result in cables not being able to hold together tightly, affecting storage effectiveness and user experience. Furthermore, magnetic cable management falls short in protecting cables from external damage, especially during transport or storage, where cables remain susceptible to damage from compression and friction.

[0005] Therefore, the inventors dedicated themselves to designing an HDMI cable to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable HDMI data cable with a simple structure, which not only simplifies the folding and storage process of the cable, but also significantly improves its structural stability, durability, ease of operation and protection.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A foldable HDMI data cable includes a cable with HDMI connectors at both ends. The cable has multiple magnetic rings spaced apart to facilitate folding and magnetic attraction to hold the folded cable together. At least one magnetic ring is fitted with a retaining sleeve. Two clamping pieces extend outward from the edge of the notch on the side wall of the retaining sleeve to hold a stack of magnetic rings connected by magnetic attraction. The ends of the two clamping pieces are magnetically sealed.

[0009] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, the fixing sleeve and the two clamping pieces are integrally formed, and the two clamping pieces are symmetrically arranged.

[0010] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, the notch is arranged along the axial direction of the fixing sleeve, and each of the clamping pieces is wavy.

[0011] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, a positioning collar is provided on each of the two ends of the fixing sleeve, and both positioning collars are sleeved on the cable, with the notch located between the two positioning collars.

[0012] As an improvement to the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, the inner diameter of the positioning collar is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixing sleeve.

[0013] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, the inner walls of the fixing sleeve and the two clamping pieces are provided with inner magnetic sheets for magnetic connection with the corresponding magnetic rings.

[0014] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, the inner wall of the fixing sleeve and each of the clamping pieces is provided with a groove for installing the corresponding inner magnetic sheet.

[0015] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, the inner magnetic sheet is in the shape of an arc plate and matches the outer wall of the corresponding magnetic ring.

[0016] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, the end gap of the two clamping pieces is set to form an opening and is sealed by two magnetic strips, with the two magnetic strips respectively disposed at the ends of the two clamping pieces.

[0017] As an improvement of the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, each of the clamping pieces is provided with a mounting groove at its end, and the two magnetic strips are respectively installed in the two mounting grooves. The two mounting grooves are respectively located on the two corresponding inner walls of the opening, and the magnetic strips are elongated.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, this foldable HDMI data cable features multiple magnetic rings spaced apart on the cable, facilitating folding and magnetic attraction to hold the folded cable together. A retaining sleeve is fitted onto at least one magnetic ring, with two clamping tabs extending outwards from the notch edge of the retaining sleeve to hold a stack of magnetically connected rings, preventing the cable from loosening. This invention combines magnetic rings, retaining sleeves, and clamping tabs, resulting in a simple structure that simplifies cable folding and storage while significantly improving structural stability, durability, ease of operation, and protection. With its simple structure, excellent performance, and higher cost-effectiveness, this foldable HDMI data cable offers users a brand-new experience and leads a new trend in HDMI data cable storage technology.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are for reference and illustration only and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of patent protection of this utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 10 A foldable HDMI data cable includes a cable 3 and two HDMI connectors 1. The two HDMI connectors 1 are respectively disposed at both ends of the cable 3. The cable 3 is provided with a plurality of magnetic rings 4 at intervals to facilitate folding of the cable 3 and to attract the folded cable 3 together by magnetic attraction. At least one magnetic ring 4 is fitted with a fixing sleeve 5. The side wall notch edge of the fixing sleeve 5 extends outward to form two clamping pieces 52. The two clamping pieces 52 are used to clamp a stack of magnetic rings 4 connected together by magnetic attraction. The ends of the two clamping pieces 52 are magnetically sealed.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The cable 3 of this foldable HDMI data cable is made of high-quality materials, with excellent signal transmission performance and durability; while the HDMI connector 1 adopts a design that conforms to the HDMI standard, supports high-definition transmission, and has good compatibility and stability.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Each magnetic ring 4 is ring-shaped and is fitted onto the cable 3. Adjacent magnetic rings 4 are spaced apart to form a certain distance. When the cable 3 is curled, they are stacked together and the adjacent magnetic rings 4 are magnetically attracted together.

[0035] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The notch on the fixing sleeve 5 is arranged along the axial direction of the fixing sleeve 5. A positioning collar 51 is provided on each of the two end faces of the fixing sleeve 5. The inner diameter of the positioning collar 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the fixing sleeve 5. Both positioning collars 51 are sleeved on the cable 3. The notch is located between the two positioning collars 51. Two clamping pieces 52 are symmetrically arranged. Each clamping piece 52 is wavy to match the shape of the magnetic ring 4. The inner walls of the fixing sleeve 5 and each clamping piece 52 are provided with grooves 54. The gap between the ends of the two clamping pieces 52 forms an opening 53. Each end of the clamping piece 52 is provided with an installation groove 55. The two installation grooves 55 are located on the two corresponding inner walls of the opening 53. The fixing sleeve 5, the two clamping pieces 52 and the two positioning collars 51 are all integrally formed from the same material. The two clamping pieces 52 can be manually pried open.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 The ends of the two clamping pieces 52 are magnetically sealed by two magnetic strips 2. The two magnetic strips 2 are respectively set at the ends of the two clamping pieces 52. Specifically, each magnetic strip 2 is long and narrow, and the two magnetic strips 2 are respectively installed in the two mounting slots 55.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 The inner walls of the fixing sleeve 5 and the two clamping plates 52 are provided with inner magnetic plates 6 for magnetic connection with the corresponding magnetic rings 4. These inner magnetic plates 6 are installed in their respective grooves 54. The inner magnetic plates 6 are arc-shaped plates and match the outer walls of the corresponding magnetic rings 4.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 10 The method of using the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] Manually open the openings 53 of the two clamping plates 52, and fold or coil the HDMI cable 3 into a spiral shape. During the folding or coiling process, place the portion of the cable 3 with the magnetic rings 4 positioned opposite the fixing sleeve 5 between the two clamping plates 52. This allows the multiple overlapping and magnetically attracted magnetic rings 4 located between the two clamping plates 52 to be attracted to the magnetic rings 4 inside the fixing sleeve 5 through the notch at the top of the fixing sleeve 5. At this time, the magnetic rings 4 inside the fixing sleeve 5 are attracted to the two inner magnetic sheets 6 inside the fixing sleeve 5, and the magnetic rings 4 between the two clamping plates 52 are attracted to the inner magnetic sheets 6 on the inner wall of the clamping plates 52. The openings 53 of the two clamping plates 52 are magnetically sealed by the two magnetic strips 2, thus fixing the magnetic rings 4 overlapping on one side. Since the other magnetic rings 4 on each loop of cable 3 are positioned opposite each other, the other overlapping magnetic rings 4 attract each other, ultimately forming a spiral shape. Figure 1 As shown, this configuration makes it convenient for both storage and folding.

[0040] When the HDMI cable needs to be unwound, simply pull each loop of cable 3 outwards to open the openings 53 of the two clamping pieces 52, ultimately forming a long HDMI cable.

[0041] This invention proposes a foldable HDMI data cable, aiming to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide an HDMI data cable that is simple in structure, easy to operate, easy to store, and does not affect signal transmission quality. The data cable includes a cable 3, with standard HDMI connectors 1 at both ends for connecting to device interfaces. Multiple magnetic rings 4 are spaced apart on the cable 3. These magnetic rings 4 not only facilitate folding the cable 3 as needed but also firmly attract the folded cable 3 together through magnetic attraction. To enhance the stability and protection of the folded cable 3, this invention includes a fixing sleeve 5 fitted onto at least one magnetic ring 4. The fixing sleeve 5 is cleverly designed; its sidewall notch extends outward to form two clamping pieces 52. These two clamping pieces 52 can tightly clamp a stack of magnetic rings 4 connected by magnetic attraction, ensuring the folded structure is stable and does not loosen. Simultaneously, the ends of the two clamping pieces 52 are designed with magnetic closures. When the clamping pieces 52 are fully closed, they automatically lock through magnetic attraction, eliminating the need for additional locks or straps, further simplifying the operation process and improving the user experience.

[0042] In summary, the foldable HDMI data cable of this utility model, through the innovative design of introducing a magnetic ring 4, a fixing sleeve 5, and a clamping piece 52, achieves flexible folding and stable storage of the cable 3, which not only meets the length requirements in different scenarios, but also greatly improves the convenience of use and the protection of the cable 3. It is an important improvement over the existing HDMI data cable technology.

[0043] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
