Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable technology, and in particular to a protective structure for a metal connector of a data cable. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the metal connectors of data cables are usually directly exposed, making them highly susceptible to physical damage during daily use or carrying, such as bending, pulling, or impact. Especially with frequent plugging and unplugging, not only are the metal connectors easily damaged, but it can also lead to unstable connections or complete failure. Furthermore, traditional protective measures, such as simple plastic covers or sleeves, while providing some protection, are inconvenient to operate, difficult to install and remove quickly, and fail to meet users' needs for convenience.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a protective structure that can be easily and quickly installed on data cables and effectively cover and protect the metal connectors. This structure not only needs to have good protective performance but also needs to be easy for users to operate quickly in actual use. For example, it should be able to quickly cover the metal connectors when the data cable is not in use and easily open them when needed, ensuring convenience and efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional protective measures, such as simple plastic covers or sleeves, which provide some protection but are inconvenient to operate, difficult to install and remove quickly, and cannot meet users' needs for convenience, this utility model provides a protective structure for metal connectors of data cables.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a protective structure for a data cable metal connector, including a shell, a protective shell, a limiting slider, and a spring-loaded assembly. The protective shell is slidably connected to the front side of the shell, and the limiting slider is fixedly connected to the rear top of the protective shell. The limiting slider passes through the shell and is slidably connected to its top. Spring-loaded assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the front of the shell. The spring-loaded assembly includes a spring, a lifting slider, a locking block, and a torsion spring. A spring is fixedly connected between the bottom of the shell and the rear side of the protective shell. Vertical slides and horizontal slides are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the front of the shell, and the horizontal slides are located in front of the vertical slides. The lifting slider is slidably connected to the vertical slides, and the locking block is slidably connected to the horizontal slides. The lower sides of the protective shell have slots that fit the locking blocks. A certain space is left between the lifting slider and the locking block inside the shell to accommodate the torsion spring, which is rotatably connected within this space.
[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a limit strip and a baffle. A placement groove is provided on the top of the protective shell, and a limit strip is fixedly connected to the rear side of the placement groove on the top of the protective shell. A baffle is rotatably connected to the front end of the limit strip.
[0007] Furthermore, the limiting strip is made of elastic material, and the baffle is made of rubber.
[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a protective sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer shell, and the protective sleeve conforms to the size of the existing data cable.
[0009] Furthermore, a deformation groove is provided at the bottom of the protective cylinder.
[0010] Furthermore, the protective casing is made of a tough material.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: 1. The present invention has a simple operation process, including sliding the outer shell and protective shell into place to cover the metal connector of the data cable, and controlling the position of the protective shell by a limiting slider, so that users can quickly install and adjust when needed, achieving the effect of convenient operation.
[0012] 2. This utility model, through the design of a rubber baffle, not only prevents the metal connector from being bumped or scratched when not in use, but also prevents small particles from entering the protective shell, further enhancing the sealing performance and achieving the effect of improving the safety and reliability of the data cable.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Example: A protective structure for a data cable metal connector, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes an outer shell 1, a protective shell 2, a limiting slider 3, and a spring-loaded assembly. The protective shell 2 is slidably connected to the front interior of the outer shell 1. The limiting slider 3 is integrally formed on the top rear side of the protective shell 2. The outer shell 1, the protective shell 2, and the limiting slider 3 are all made of rigid material, and the limiting slider 3 passes through the outer shell 1 and is slidably connected to its top. Spring-loaded assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the front of the outer shell 1. The spring-loaded assemblies include a spring 4, a lifting slider 5, a locking block 6, and a torsion spring 7. The bottom of the inner shell 1 and the rear side of the protective shell 2 are connected to the protective shell 2. A spring 4 is connected between the two sides of the front of the outer shell 1. Vertical slide rails 51 and horizontal slide rails 62 are provided on both sides of the front of the outer shell 1. The horizontal slide rail 62 is located in front of the vertical slide rail 51. The vertical slide rail 51 is slidably connected to the lifting slider 5. The horizontal slide rail 62 is slidably connected to the locking block 6. The lower part of the protective shell 2 has slots 61 that are adapted to the locking block 6 on both sides. A certain space is left between the lifting slider 5 and the locking block 6 inside the outer shell 1 to accommodate the torsion spring 7. The torsion spring 7 is rotatably connected in this space.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a limiting strip 8, a baffle 9, and a protective cylinder 10. The top of the protective shell 2 has a placement groove 81. The limiting strip 8 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the placement groove 81 on the top of the protective shell 2. The front end of the limiting strip 8 is rotatably connected to the baffle 9. The limiting strip 8 is made of elastic material, the baffle 9 is made of rubber material, and the protective cylinder 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the shell 1. The protective cylinder 10 conforms to the size of the existing data cable. The protective cylinder 10 is made of tough material, and the lower part of the protective cylinder 10 has a deformation groove 11.
[0024] First, the user needs to install this device onto the data cable B. Align the deformation groove 11 at the bottom of the protective sleeve 10 with the data cable B, so that the protective sleeve 10 can tightly wrap around the tail of the data cable B. Because the protective sleeve 10 is made of a tough material, when the data cable B is bent or pulled, the protective sleeve 10 can absorb and disperse the external force, reduce the impact on the internal wires, and ensure that the data cable B is not easily damaged during long-term use. Next, the user slides the outer shell 1 and protective shell 2 in, covering the metal connector B1 of the data cable B. Then, the user slides the limiting slider 3 from back to front, sliding the protective shell 2 out from inside the outer shell 1. At this time, the spring 4 deforms and continues to slide. When the slots 61 on both sides of the protective shell 2 slide to engage with the locking blocks 6, under the action of the torsion spring 7, the locking blocks 6 on both sides slide along the horizontal slide 62 into the slots 61 of the protective shell 2. At the same time, the lifting sliders 5 on both sides slide from bottom to top along the vertical slide 51, so that the protective shell 2 maintains its coverage and protection of the metal connector B1. Then, the baffle 9 is rotated to the front of the protective shell 2 to engage, thus completing the protection of the metal connector B1 of the data cable B. The baffle 9 can prevent the metal connector B1 from being bumped or scratched when not in use. The rubber baffle 9 prevents small particles from entering the interior of the protective shell 2, further enhancing the sealing effect.
[0025] When the user is ready to use data cable B, the user needs to pinch and simultaneously slide the limit sliders 3 on both sides backward. The limit sliders 3 slide backward, causing the torsion spring 7 to compress. Then, the locking block 6 disengages from the slot 61, the spring 4 contracts, and the protective shell 2 quickly slides into the outer shell 1. When the protective shell 2 drives the baffle 9 to slide backward together, the baffle 9 will be subjected to the relative force of the metal connector B1. The limit strip 8 is made of elastic material, which can provide a certain buffer when the protective shell 2 is closed, reducing the impact of the impact on the metal connector B1. The baffle 9 rotates, thereby opening the front side of the protective shell 2. Then the user can use it by facing the metal connector B1 towards the device, achieving the effect of convenient use.
[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
