Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and in particular to a connector, charging cable and electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use and diversified functions of smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets, users' demands for charging cables have expanded from simple charging / data transfer functions to aspects such as scene adaptability, multi-functional integration, and portability.

[0003] There are already charging cables on the market that can support mobile phones, but the support structure of these charging cables is usually horizontal, which cannot meet users' needs for vertical support of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issue that the support direction of existing charging cable support structures cannot meet users' vertical support requirements for electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, this utility model provides a connector, a charging cable, and an electronic device.

[0005] The present invention provides a connector that solves the technical problem by providing a connector including a terminal and a bracket; an interface is provided on one side of the terminal, and a bracket is rotatably connected to each end of the terminal opposite to the interface; the bracket can be rotatably stored in the side of the terminal opposite to the interface, or can be rotatably opened to form a support structure.

[0006] Preferably, when the two brackets are housed on the side of the terminal opposite to the interface, the two brackets are in a centrally symmetrical state.

[0007] Preferably, when one of the supports is rotated and unfolded for support, a preset angle is formed between it and the un-unfolded support; the preset angle is 70°-120°.

[0008] Preferably, the terminal further includes an electrical connection structure and a housing, the housing surrounding the electrical connection structure, the interface connecting the electrical connection structure and protruding from one side of the housing; the bracket includes a rotating part and a supporting part, and through holes are respectively provided at both ends of the housing corresponding to the rotating part of each bracket, and part of the rotating part passes through the through holes into the interior of the terminal and is rotatably connected to the terminal; at least one bracket has a boss on its rotating part, and a groove is provided on the housing corresponding to the boss; when the rotating part drives the supporting part to rotate and unfold relative to the housing, it drives the boss to slide from the first end of the groove to the second end of the groove and abut against the groove wall at the second end of the groove.

[0009] Preferably, the rotating part is provided with a rotating shaft, and the rotating part passes through the rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the housing. The boss is arranged around the rotating shaft. The rotating part is provided with a positioning protrusion around the rotating shaft. The housing is provided with a set of positioning grooves corresponding to each positioning protrusion. The set of positioning grooves includes two positioning grooves arranged at an angle with the corresponding rotating shaft as the center. When each bracket is retracted to rotated and unfolded, the positioning protrusion on each bracket moves from one of the positioning grooves in the corresponding set of positioning grooves on the housing to the other positioning groove in the same set. The positioning protrusion, the rotating shaft and the boss on the rotating part are linearly distributed.

[0010] Preferably, the connector further includes a threaded component and an elastic component. The rotating shaft is hollow inside, and the threaded component passes through the through hole and is threaded to the inner wall of the rotating shaft. The through hole includes a first hole and a second hole communicating with the first hole. The diameter of the first hole is larger than the diameter of the second hole. The rotating shaft passes through the second hole and into the first hole. An elastic component is sleeved on the rotating shaft that passes into the second hole, and the two ends of the elastic component abut against the threaded component and the bottom wall of the second hole, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the bracket is greater than 2 / 3 of the overall length of the terminal block, but less than the overall length of the terminal block.

[0012] Preferably, the interface is inclined relative to the terminal block; the angle of inclination of the interface relative to the terminal block is 6°-15°.

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model also provides a charging cable, which includes a cable body and a connector as described in any of the above claims, wherein the cable body is electrically connected to the terminal block.

[0014] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model also provides an electronic device, which includes a connector as described in any one of the above-mentioned methods and an electronic device body, wherein the electronic device body is electrically connected to the connector.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the connector, charging cable and electronic device of this utility model have the following advantages:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides a connector, including a terminal and a bracket. An interface is provided on one side of the terminal, and a bracket is rotatably connected to each end of the terminal opposite to the interface. The bracket can be rotatably stored in the side of the terminal opposite to the interface, or rotated open to form a support structure. By providing a bracket at each end of the side of the terminal opposite to the interface, when both brackets are simultaneously deployed on the terminal, the width of the support is expanded, allowing support for the two ends of the boundaries of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. This better addresses the issue of the high center of gravity of electronic devices when placed vertically, thus achieving vertical support for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices and meeting users' needs for vertical support. Furthermore, providing two brackets to support the two ends of the boundaries of mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices also improves the stability of the vertical support. In addition, when one bracket is deployed, lateral support for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices can also be achieved.

[0017] 2. When the two brackets of this utility model are stored on the side opposite to the interface on the terminal, the two brackets are in a centrally symmetrical state, which can better adapt to the shape of the terminal and make it easier to completely store the two brackets on the housing without them protruding from the terminal, thereby reducing the space occupied by the connector as a whole.

[0018] 3. When one of the brackets of this utility model is rotated and unfolded for support, a preset angle is formed between it and the unfolded bracket. The preset angle is 70°-120°, so that the unfolded bracket and the electronic device connected to the interface also form a preset angle, which is beneficial to complete the support of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets by unfolding one bracket.

[0019] 4. The terminal block of this utility model further includes an electrical connection structure and a housing. The housing surrounds the electrical connection structure, and the interface connects to the electrical connection structure and protrudes from one side of the housing. The bracket includes a rotating part and a supporting part. Through holes are provided at both ends of the terminal block corresponding to the rotating part of each bracket. Part of the rotating part passes through the through holes and rotatably connects to the terminal block. At least one rotating part of the bracket is provided with a boss, and a groove is provided on the housing corresponding to the boss. When the rotating part drives the supporting part to rotate and unfold relative to the terminal block, it drives the boss to slide from the first end of the groove to the second end of the groove and abut against the groove wall at the second end of the groove. By providing a boss on the rotating part and a groove on the terminal block, the boss is positioned within the groove. When the bracket is in its retracted state, the boss can be located at the first end of the groove. When the bracket is in its rotated and unfolded state, the rotation of the rotating part can drive the boss to move within the groove, from the first end to the second end, and abut against the groove wall at the second end. This abutment between the boss and the groove wall at the second end limits the rotation of the rotating part, thus restricting its rotation. This ensures that when the bracket is horizontally supporting electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets at this angle, the boss will continuously abut against the groove wall at the second end, improving the stability of the bracket and preventing the supported electronic devices from tipping over.

[0020] 5. This utility model features a positioning protrusion on each bracket corresponding to two positioning grooves at different angles. When the bracket is folded up and unfolded, the positioning protrusion will engage with different positioning grooves, thus limiting the bracket's position in its current state and further improving its stability during both folded and unfolded support. Furthermore, the linear distribution of the positioning protrusion, rotating shaft, and boss ensures a more balanced and stable limiting effect on the rotating shaft.

[0021] 6. The connector of this utility model also includes a threaded component and an elastic component. The rotating shaft is hollow inside. The threaded component passes through the through hole and is threaded into the inner wall of the rotating shaft. The through hole includes a first hole and a second hole communicating with the first hole. The diameter of the first hole is larger than the diameter of the second hole. The rotating shaft passes through the second hole into the first hole. An elastic component is sleeved on the rotating shaft that passes through the second hole. The two ends of the elastic component abut against the bottom wall of the threaded component and the second hole, respectively. The threaded component realizes the connection between the rotating shaft and the housing. The elastic component sleeved on the rotating shaft facilitates the movement of the entire bracket along the compression direction of the spring when the bracket rotates. This causes the positioning protrusion on the rotating part to move from the current positioning groove to another positioning groove. After the elastic component unfolds, it causes the positioning protrusion to engage with the positioning groove. Thus, the setting of the elastic component realizes the movement of the positioning protrusion from the current positioning groove to engage with the next positioning groove, avoiding any impact on the rotation of the bracket.

[0022] 7. The interface of this utility model is tilted relative to the terminal block; the angle of tilt between the interface and the terminal block is 6°-15°, so that when mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices are vertically supported by the bracket in this embodiment, the mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices are tilted relative to the support surface at a certain angle, making it easier for users to view the electronic devices vertically.

[0023] 8. This utility model also provides a charging cable, which has the same beneficial effects as the connectors mentioned above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] 9. This utility model also provides an electronic device that has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned electronic device, which will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0046] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this invention and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0048] Furthermore, in addition to indicating direction or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0049] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0050] Please see Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a connector 1, including a terminal 12 and a bracket 13; an interface 121 is provided on one side of the terminal 12, and a bracket 13 is rotatably connected to each end of the terminal 12 opposite to the interface 121; the bracket 13 can be rotatably stored in the side of the terminal 12 opposite to the interface 121, or can be rotatably opened to form a support structure.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 1 can be used for charging and / or data transmission, and the interface 121 on the terminal 12 is used to connect electronic devices for charging and / or data transmission. The type of the interface 121 includes, but is not limited to, USB Type-C, USB Type-A, Micro USB and Lightning interfaces.

[0052] Specifically, on the terminal 12 connecting to the electronic device, a bracket 13 can be connected to each end of the side opposite to the interface 121, that is, the two brackets 13 are rotatably connected to the terminal 12. The two brackets 13 can be stored on the surface of the terminal 12 and can be unfolded by rotation to support the mobile phone, tablet or other electronic device connected to the terminal 12.

[0053] It should be noted that the storage and rotation of the two supports 13 are independent. When supporting electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, one support 13 can be unfolded for support, or both supports 13 can be unfolded at the same time. The corresponding support 13 can be unfolded according to the specific support needs.

[0054] Understandably, when both supports 13 are simultaneously deployed on the terminal 12, the width of the support is expanded by the two deployed supports 13, facilitating support at both ends of the boundaries of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. This better addresses the issue of the high center of gravity of electronic devices when placed vertically, thus achieving vertical support for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices and meeting users' needs for vertical support. Furthermore, setting two supports 13 to support the boundaries of mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices also improves the stability of vertical support. In addition, when one support 13 is deployed, lateral support for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices can also be achieved. Therefore, the arrangement of two supports 13 in this embodiment can achieve multi-directional support for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices, easily meeting users' different support needs in different directions.

[0055] Understandably, this embodiment does not restrict the placement of the two brackets 13 on the terminal 12, as long as the boundaries of the two brackets 13 do not exceed the boundaries of the terminal 12 when both brackets 13 are placed on the side of the terminal 12 opposite to the interface 121, or the placement of the two brackets 13 does not interfere with the connection of the connector 1 or the user's use.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 In one optional embodiment, when the two supports 13 are housed on the side of the terminal 12 opposite to the interface 121, the two supports 13 are in a centrally symmetrical state, which helps to reduce the area occupied by the two supports 13 on the housing 123 of the terminal 12, and is more conducive to the miniaturization of the terminal 12 as a whole, reducing the overall volume of the terminal 12.

[0057] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, when one support 13 rotates and unfolds to provide support, it forms a preset angle β with the unfolded support 13 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in β), the preset angle β is 70°-120°.

[0058] Understandably, when only one bracket 13 on the terminal 12 is rotated and unfolded for support, the other bracket 13 remains retracted on the terminal 12, creating a preset angle β between the unfolded bracket 13 and the non-unfolded bracket 13. This, in turn, creates a preset angle β between the unfolded bracket 13 and the electronic device connected to the interface 121, facilitating user viewing. This achieves lateral support for the connected electronic device through the unfolding of one bracket 13.

[0059] Please see Figure 2 Optionally, if the bracket is long, the preset angle can be an acute angle, i.e., within the range of 70°-90°, to ensure that when the support angle formed by the bracket is an acute angle, the bracket can directly support the corresponding electronic device.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 Optionally, when the bracket is short, the preset angle can be an obtuse angle, i.e., within the range of 90°-120°, to ensure that the support angle formed by the bracket can support the corresponding electronic device.

[0061] Please see Figures 4-6 Furthermore, the terminal 12 also includes an electrical connection structure 122 and a housing 123. The housing 123 surrounds the electrical connection structure 122, and the interface 121 connects to the electrical connection structure 122 and protrudes from the surface of the housing 123. The bracket 13 includes a rotating part 131 and a supporting part 132. The two ends of the housing 123 are respectively provided with through holes 1231 corresponding to the rotating part 131 of each bracket 13. Part of the rotating part 131 passes through the through holes 1231 and enters the interior of the terminal 12 to be rotatably connected to the terminal 12. At least one rotating part 131 on the bracket 13 is provided with a boss 1311, and the housing 123 is provided with a groove 1232 corresponding to the boss 1311. When the rotating part 131 drives the supporting part 132 to rotate and unfold relative to the housing 123, it drives the boss 1311 to slide from the first end 1238 of the groove 1232 to the second end 1239 of the groove 1232 and abuts against the groove wall of the second end 1239 of the groove 1232.

[0062] Specifically, the electrical connection structure 122 of the terminal 12 can be used for electrical communication with the interface 121. A housing 123 is provided around the electrical connection structure 122 of the terminal 12, with through holes 1231 and grooves 1232 on the housing 123 to achieve a rotatable connection with the bracket 13 and to limit the position after the bracket 13 is rotated and unfolded. Thus, the housing 123 can separate the electrical connection structure 122 from the bracket 13, avoiding the impact on the charging or data transmission of the electronic devices connected to the terminal 12 when the bracket 13 is supported and rotated. In addition, the housing 123 completely surrounds the electrical connection structure 122, which can protect the electrical connection structure 122.

[0063] Optionally, the electrical connection structure 122 can be extended at both ends, and positioning holes 1221 are opened on the extended portions corresponding to the through holes 1231 on the housing 123, so that the rotating shaft 1312 enters the housing 123 from the through hole 1231 at one end of the housing 123 and passes through the positioning holes 1221. In this way, the rotating shaft 1312 limits the position of the electrical connection structure 122 located inside the housing 123, so that the electrical connection structure 122 can be more stable inside the housing 123.

[0064] It should be noted that the connecting wires inside the electrical connection structure 122 must bypass the position of the positioning hole 1221 inside the housing 123 to avoid affecting the electrical connection of the connector 1.

[0065] More specifically, the bracket 13 includes a rotating part 131 rotatably connected to the terminal 12 and a supporting part 132 connected to the rotating part 131. The rotating part 131 and the supporting part 132 can be integrally formed to improve the overall strength of the bracket 13. A through hole 1231 is provided on the terminal 12, and part of the rotating part 131 extends into the interior of the terminal 12 through the through hole 1231 and is rotatably connected to the terminal 12.

[0066] Optionally, a boss 1311 can be provided on the rotating part 131 of one bracket 13, and a groove 1232 can be provided on one end of the housing 123 corresponding to the boss 1311, while the other bracket 13 and the other end of the housing 123 are not provided; thereby, the bracket 13 with the boss 1311 and the groove 1232 on one end of the housing 123 cooperate to achieve the limitation of supporting the unfolding of the bracket 13.

[0067] Optionally, a boss 1311 can be provided on each of the two brackets 13, and a groove 1232 can be provided at each end of the housing 123, thus providing more options for support.

[0068] Specifically, a boss 1311 may be provided on the side of the rotating part 131 near the housing 123, and a groove 1232 may be provided on the housing 123 corresponding to the boss 1311. The groove 1232 may be an arc-shaped groove 1232, and the boss 1311 extends into the groove 1232. The first end 1238 may be defined as one end of the groove 1232 that the boss 1311 abuts against when the bracket 13 is housed on the surface of the terminal 12, and the second end 1239 may be defined as the other end of the groove 1232 that the boss 1311 abuts against after the bracket 13 has rotated and unfolded.

[0069] Understandably, when the bracket 13 is in its retracted state, the boss 1311 can be located at the first end 1238 within the groove 1232. When the bracket 13 is in its rotated and unfolded state, the rotation of the rotating part 131 can cause the boss 1311 to slide within the groove 1232, from the first end 1238 to the second end 1239 within the groove 1232, and abut against the groove wall of the second end 1239 of the groove 1232. Thus, the rotation of the rotating part 131 is achieved through the abutment of the boss 1311 against the groove wall of the second end 1239 of the groove 1232. The limit is used to limit the rotation of the rotating part 131, and when the bracket 13 is horizontally supporting electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets at this angle position, the boss 1311 will continuously abut against the groove wall of the second end 1239 of the groove 1232. That is, the direction of the force provided by the external support platform to the bracket 13 is opposite to the direction of the force generated by the groove 1232 abutting against the boss 1311. In this way, the bracket 13 can stably support electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets horizontally, thereby improving the stability of the support of the bracket 13 and preventing the supported electronic devices from tipping over.

[0070] Please see Figures 5-7 Furthermore, a rotating shaft 1312 is provided on the rotating part 131. The rotating part 131 passes through the rotating shaft 1312 and is rotatably connected to the housing 123 inside the housing 123. The boss 1311 is arranged around the rotating shaft 1312.

[0071] Understandably, a rotating shaft 1312 is provided on the side of the rotating part 131 near the terminal 12. This rotating shaft 1312 can pass through the through hole 1231 on the housing 123 and enter the interior of the housing 123 to achieve a rotatable connection with the housing 123. A boss 1311 is provided around the rotating shaft 1312, and an arc-shaped groove 1232 is provided corresponding to the rotation direction around the rotating shaft 1312, so that when the rotating part 131 rotates, the boss 1311 will move within the groove 1232 along the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 1312. By setting the rotating shaft 1312 to extend into the housing 123, the connection between the bracket 13 and the housing 123 is tighter, which is more conducive to improving the stability of the rotatable connection between the bracket 13 and the housing 123.

[0072] Please see Figures 5-7 Furthermore, the rotating part 131 is provided with a positioning protrusion 1313 around the rotating shaft 1312, and the housing 123 is provided with a set of positioning grooves 1233 corresponding to each positioning protrusion 1313. The set of positioning grooves 1233 includes two positioning grooves 1233 arranged at an angle with the corresponding rotating shaft 1312 as the center. When each bracket 13 is retracted to rotate and unfolded, the positioning protrusion 1313 on each bracket 13 moves from one of the positioning grooves 1233 in the set of positioning grooves 1233 on the housing 123 to the other positioning groove 1233 in the same set.

[0073] Specifically, in addition to the rotating shaft 1312 and the boss 1311, at least one positioning protrusion 1313 may be provided on the rotating part 131 of a bracket 13. A set of positioning grooves 1233 will be provided on the housing 123 corresponding to each positioning protrusion 1313. The set of positioning grooves 1233 includes two positioning grooves 1233, which are angularly arranged with the rotating shaft 1312 as the center, and the distance between the two positioning grooves 1233 and the rotating shaft 1312 is the same, so that the two positioning grooves 1233 in the set of positioning grooves 1233 will be set to correspond to the retracted and unfolded states of the bracket 13, respectively. When the bracket 13 is retracted into the surface of the housing 123 of the terminal 12, the positioning protrusion 1313 is engaged into one of the positioning grooves 1233 in the corresponding set of positioning grooves, thereby limiting the bracket 13 in the retracted state, fixing the bracket 13 in the current position, improving the stability of the retracted state of the bracket 13, and preventing the bracket 13 from rotating or shifting due to accidental contact or other reasons. Under the action of external force, the rotating part 131 rotates, causing the boss 1311, the support part 132, and the positioning protrusion 1313 to rotate. The positioning protrusion 1313 will then disengage from the current positioning groove 1233 and rotate to another positioning groove 1233, where it will engage. This limits the unfolded state of the bracket 13, fixing it in its current position and improving the stability of the bracket 13 in its unfolded support state. Therefore, by setting one positioning protrusion 1313 on each bracket 13 corresponding to two positioning grooves 1233 at different angles, the positioning protrusion 1313 will engage in different positioning grooves 1233 when the bracket 13 is folded up and unfolded, thus limiting the bracket 13 in its current state and further improving the stability of the bracket 13 in both folded and unfolded support states.

[0074] Optionally, the positioning protrusion 1313 can be elastically protruded. The elastic protrusion can be set so that it can disengage from the current positioning groove 1233 and move into the next positioning groove 1233 without affecting the rotation of the bracket 13.

[0075] Please see Figure 7 Furthermore, the positioning protrusion 1313, the rotating shaft 1312, and the boss 1311 on the rotating part 131 are distributed in a straight line.

[0076] Understandably, the rotating shaft 1312 is located between the positioning protrusion 1313 and the boss 1311, and the three are arranged in a straight line. This facilitates the positioning protrusion 1313 to engage with the positioning groove 1233, and the boss 1311 abuts against the groove wall of the recess 1232. Both of these elements limit the two ends of the rotating shaft 1312, thereby enhancing the overall limiting effect on the rotating shaft 1312 through their combined action. In addition, the linear distribution of the positioning protrusion 1313, the rotating shaft 1312, and the boss 1311 makes the limiting effect of the rotating shaft 1312 more balanced and stable.

[0077] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 Furthermore, the connector 1 also includes a threaded component 14. The rotating shaft 1312 is hollow inside, and the threaded component 14 passes through the through hole 1231 into the interior of the rotating shaft 1312 and is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating shaft 1312.

[0078] Understandably, the rotating shaft 1312 and the housing 123 are connected by a threaded part 14, which facilitates quick disassembly between the bracket 13 and the housing 123, and makes it easy to disassemble, inspect or replace damaged parts in a timely manner.

[0079] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 Furthermore, the through hole 1231 includes a first hole 1235 and a second hole 1236 communicating with the first hole 1235, wherein the diameter D of the first hole 1235 is (e.g., ...). Figure 9 As shown in the figure, D) is larger than the diameter d of the second hole 1236 (e.g. Figure 9 As shown in d), the rotating shaft 1312 passes through the first hole 1235 from the second hole 1236; an elastic element 15 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1312 that passes through the second hole 1236, and the two ends of the elastic element 15 abut against the threaded part 14 and the bottom wall of the second hole 1236 respectively.

[0080] Specifically, when the diameter D of the first through hole 1231 is greater than the diameter d of the second hole 1236, after the rotating shaft 1312 passes through the second hole 1236 and enters the first hole 1235, an annular receiving space is formed between the rotating shaft 1312 and the hole wall of the second hole 1236. An elastic element 15 can be provided in this receiving space, so that the elastic element 15 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1312, and the two ends of the elastic element 15 abut against the threaded part 14 and the bottom wall of the second hole 1236 respectively. Thus, after the rotating shaft 1312 is connected to the threaded part 14, the rotating shaft 1312 can drive the threaded part 14 to move along the compression direction of the spring.

[0081] More specifically, when the bracket 13 rotates, the compression spring allows the entire bracket 13 to move along the compression direction of the spring, thereby causing the positioning protrusion 1313 on the rotating part 131 to move from the current positioning groove 1233 to another positioning groove 1233. After the elastic member 15 unfolds, it causes the positioning protrusion 1313 to engage with the positioning groove 1233. Thus, the setting of the elastic member 15 enables the positioning protrusion 1313 to move from the current positioning groove 1233 to the next positioning groove 1233, avoiding any impact on the rotation of the bracket 13.

[0082] Optionally, the elastic element 15 can be a spring or made of an elastic material, depending on the specific circumstances.

[0083] Please see Figure 8 Furthermore, the length M of the support 13 (e.g.) Figure 8 As shown, M) is greater than the overall length N of terminal 12 (e.g. Figure 8 It is 2 / 3 of the length of N shown, and less than the overall length N of terminal 12.

[0084] Understandably, the terminal 12 can be elongated to allow for the setting of the length of the bracket 13, maximizing the range of the bracket 13 length M to further improve the stability of the support.

[0085] It should be noted that the overall length N of the connector 1 terminal 12 must be adapted to the shortest boundary length of the electronic device to ensure that the overall length N of the terminal 12 can support the electronic device vertically after the bracket 13 is unfolded.

[0086] Understandably, the overall length and width of the bracket are smaller than the overall length and width of the outer surface of the terminal 12, so that when the bracket 13 is stored, its boundary will not exceed the boundary of the terminal 12. Furthermore, the overall length of the bracket 13 must be greater than 2 / 3 of the length of the terminal 12 but less than the overall length of the terminal 12. This ensures the support length of the bracket 13 after it is unfolded, thereby ensuring the stability of the support and the control of the support angle.

[0087] Furthermore, one bracket 13 has a rotation angle of 0°-90°, and the other bracket 13 has a rotation angle of 0°-270°.

[0088] Understandably, by limiting the rotation angle of the two supports 13, the support angle of the supports 13 when providing lateral support is limited. In addition, by setting the two supports 13 with different rotation angles, the total range of rotation angle of the two supports 13 is 360°, which makes it easier for the two supports 13 to be fully stored in a rotationally symmetrical state, so that the two supports 13 can be fully stored on the housing 123 without protruding from the housing 123, thereby further improving the stability of the supports 13 when stored.

[0089] Please see Figure 10 Furthermore, the interface 121 is inclined relative to the terminal 12; the angle α of the inclination of the interface 121 relative to the terminal 12 is as follows: Figure 10 The α shown is 6°-15°.

[0090] Understandably, the interface 121 is tilted relative to the terminal 12 so that when electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets are vertically supported by the bracket 13 in this embodiment, they are tilted relative to the support surface at a certain angle α, making it easier for users to view the electronic devices vertically. Controlling the tilt angle α of the interface 121 relative to the terminal 12 within the range of 6°-15° allows for tilting of the interface 121 relative to the terminal 12 while avoiding excessive tilting that could affect the electrical connection between the connector 1 and the electronic device.

[0091] Please see Figure 11 The second embodiment of this utility model provides a charging cable 2, which includes a cable body 21 and a connector 1 as described in any one of the first embodiments. The cable body 21 is electrically connected to the terminal 12.

[0092] Understandably, the charging cable 2 can be a charging cable or a data cable, and can realize the corresponding charging function and / or data transmission function.

[0093] Please see Figures 12-14 The third embodiment of this utility model provides an electronic device 3, which includes an electronic device body 31 and a connector 1 as described in any one of the first embodiments. The electronic device body 31 is electrically connected to the connector 1.

[0094] Understandably, the main body of the electronic device 31 may include mobile phones, tablets, power banks, TWS earphone charging cases, rechargeable devices with cables, or data transmission devices, etc.

[0095] Compared with the prior art, the connector of this utility model has the following advantages:

[0096] Compared with the prior art, the connector, charging cable and electronic device of this utility model have the following advantages:

[0097] 1. This utility model provides a connector, including a terminal and a bracket. An interface is provided on one side of the terminal, and a bracket is rotatably connected to each end of the terminal opposite to the interface. The bracket can be rotatably stored in the side of the terminal opposite to the interface, or rotated open to form a support structure. By providing a bracket at each end of the side of the terminal opposite to the interface, when both brackets are simultaneously deployed on the terminal, the width of the support is expanded, allowing support for the two ends of the boundaries of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. This better addresses the issue of the high center of gravity of electronic devices when placed vertically, thus achieving vertical support for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices and meeting users' needs for vertical support. Furthermore, providing two brackets to support the two ends of the boundaries of mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices also improves the stability of the vertical support. In addition, when one bracket is deployed, lateral support for mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices can also be achieved.

[0098] 2. When the two brackets of this utility model are stored on the side opposite to the interface on the terminal, the two brackets are in a centrally symmetrical state, which can better adapt to the shape of the terminal and make it easier to completely store the two brackets on the housing without them protruding from the terminal, thereby reducing the space occupied by the connector as a whole.

[0099] 3. When one of the brackets of this utility model is rotated and unfolded for support, a preset angle is formed between it and the unfolded bracket. The preset angle is 70°-120°, so that the unfolded bracket and the electronic device connected to the interface also form a preset angle, which is beneficial to complete the support of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets by unfolding one bracket.

[0100] 4. The terminal block of this utility model further includes an electrical connection structure and a housing. The housing surrounds the electrical connection structure, and the interface connects to the electrical connection structure and protrudes from one side of the housing. The bracket includes a rotating part and a supporting part. Through holes are provided at both ends of the terminal block corresponding to the rotating part of each bracket. Part of the rotating part passes through the through holes and rotatably connects to the terminal block. At least one rotating part of the bracket is provided with a boss, and a groove is provided on the housing corresponding to the boss. When the rotating part drives the supporting part to rotate and unfold relative to the terminal block, it drives the boss to slide from the first end of the groove to the second end of the groove and abut against the groove wall at the second end of the groove. By providing a boss on the rotating part and a groove on the terminal block, the boss is positioned within the groove. When the bracket is in its retracted state, the boss can be located at the first end of the groove. When the bracket is in its rotated and unfolded state, the rotation of the rotating part can drive the boss to move within the groove, from the first end to the second end, and abut against the groove wall at the second end. This abutment between the boss and the groove wall at the second end limits the rotation of the rotating part, thus restricting its rotation. This ensures that when the bracket is horizontally supporting electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets at this angle, the boss will continuously abut against the groove wall at the second end, improving the stability of the bracket and preventing the supported electronic devices from tipping over.

[0101] 5. This utility model features a positioning protrusion on each bracket corresponding to two positioning grooves at different angles. When the bracket is folded up and unfolded, the positioning protrusion will engage with different positioning grooves, thus limiting the bracket's position in its current state and further improving its stability during both folded and unfolded support. Furthermore, the linear distribution of the positioning protrusion, rotating shaft, and boss ensures a more balanced and stable limiting effect on the rotating shaft.

[0102] 6. The connector of this utility model also includes a threaded component and an elastic component. The rotating shaft is hollow inside. The threaded component passes through the through hole and is threaded into the inner wall of the rotating shaft. The through hole includes a first hole and a second hole communicating with the first hole. The diameter of the first hole is larger than the diameter of the second hole. The rotating shaft passes through the second hole into the first hole. An elastic component is sleeved on the rotating shaft that passes through the second hole. The two ends of the elastic component abut against the bottom wall of the threaded component and the second hole, respectively. The threaded component realizes the connection between the rotating shaft and the housing. The elastic component sleeved on the rotating shaft facilitates the movement of the entire bracket along the compression direction of the spring when the bracket rotates. This causes the positioning protrusion on the rotating part to move from the current positioning groove to another positioning groove. After the elastic component unfolds, it causes the positioning protrusion to engage with the positioning groove. Thus, the setting of the elastic component realizes the movement of the positioning protrusion from the current positioning groove to engage with the next positioning groove, avoiding any impact on the rotation of the bracket.

[0103] 7. The interface of this utility model is tilted relative to the terminal block; the angle of tilt between the interface and the terminal block is 6°-15°, so that when mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices are vertically supported by the bracket in this embodiment, the mobile phones, tablets and other electronic devices are tilted relative to the support surface at a certain angle, making it easier for users to view the electronic devices vertically.

[0104] 8. This utility model also provides a charging cable, which has the same beneficial effects as the connectors mentioned above, and will not be described in detail here.

[0105] 9. This utility model also provides an electronic device that has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned electronic device, which will not be described in detail here.

[0106] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
