Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of HDMI cable technology, and more specifically, to an HDMI cable rotary connector. Background Technology

[0002] HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. It can transmit uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel audio data with high quality. The maximum data transfer speed is 5Gbps. At the same time, it does not require digital-to-analog or analog-to-digital conversion before signal transmission, which can ensure the highest quality audio and video signal transmission. It is widely used in devices such as TVs, monitors, game consoles, computers, and projectors.

[0003] Traditional HDMI cable connectors are mostly fixedly connected to the cable body. However, when connecting devices to each other via HDMI cable, it is difficult to ensure that the cable body remains in a relatively smooth state, resulting in a large degree of bending between the cable body and the connector. This leads to greater bending stress on the cable, affecting its lifespan, and reducing the flexibility of the cable body and connector in use, making it less practical. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed an HDMI cable swivel connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an HDMI cable swivel connector that allows for flexible rotation of the second connector. This not only improves the flexibility of HDMI cable connection but also reduces damage to the HDMI cable caused by frequent twisting, extending its service life and enhancing its practicality, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the aforementioned flexible rotation of the second connector, which not only improves the flexibility of HDMI cable connection but also reduces damage to the HDMI cable from frequent twisting, extends its service life, and enhances its practicality, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An HDMI cable rotating connector includes a first connector, a second connector, a data cable body, a fixed mounting base, a first rotating round head, and a second rotating round head. The first connector is connected to one end of the data cable body, and the second connector is connected to the other end. An outer sheath is fitted onto the data cable body, and a fixed mounting base is fixedly installed at one end of the outer sheath. A rotating seat is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the fixed mounting base.

A second rotating round head is fixedly installed on the second connector, and a rotating slip ring is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head. A rotating groove is formed at one end of the first rotating round head, and a rotating slip ring is fitted into the rotating groove. The second connector is fixedly installed in the center of the second rotating round head.

[0008] Furthermore, a flexible protective sleeve is fixedly connected between the fixed mounting base and the first rotating round head.

[0009] Furthermore, a protective sleeve is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head, and the protective sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting round head.

[0010] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the center of one side of the first rotating head.

[0011] Furthermore, the central axes of the first rotating head and the second rotating head are on the same straight line.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an HDMI cable swivel connector, which has the following advantages:

[0015] (1) This utility model is provided with a first connecting connector, a second connecting connector, a data cable body, a fixed mounting base, a first rotating round head, and a second rotating round head. One end of the data cable body is connected to and installed with the first connecting connector, and the other end of the data cable body is connected to and installed with the second connecting connector. An outer sheath is sleeved on the data cable body. A fixed mounting base is fixedly installed on one end of the outer sheath, and a rotating seat is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the fixed mounting base. A rotating rod is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the first rotating round head, and a rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the rotating rod and installed on the rotating seat. A flexible protective sleeve is fixedly connected between the fixed mounting base and the first rotating round head, and the flexible protective sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the data cable body. A second rotating round head is fixedly installed on the second connecting connector, and a rotating slip ring is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head. A rotating groove is opened at one end of the first rotating round head, and the rotating groove is locked inside. Equipped with a rotating slip ring, when connecting an HDMI cable between two devices, if the connection orientation of the second connector needs to be changed, the rotating rod can rotate around the rotating axis, causing the first rotating head to drive the second rotating head and the second connector to rotate, thus changing their connection orientation. If the connection angle of the second connector needs to be changed, the rotating slip ring can rotate around the rotating groove, thus causing the second connector to rotate, thus changing its connection angle. The through hole of the data cable body located in the inner cavity of the first rotating head does not have an outer sheath and is relatively loose, so excessive bending stress will not be generated during the rotation of the second connector, thus preventing significant damage to the data cable body. This allows for flexible rotation of the second connector in an HDMI cable rotary connector, improving the flexibility of HDMI cable connection and reducing damage to the HDMI cable from frequent twisting, extending its service life, and enhancing its practicality.

[0016] (2) The present invention is provided with a flexible protective sleeve and a protective tube. As described above, a flexible protective sleeve is fixedly connected between the fixed mounting base and the first rotating round head. When the rotating rod rotates around the rotating axis, the flexible protective sleeve can bend, so as not to have a great impact on the rotation process. Moreover, the flexible protective sleeve can protect the data cable body exposed outside the outer sheath. On the other hand, a protective tube is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head, and the protective tube is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting round head, thereby protecting the connection between the first connecting round head and the second connecting round head to reduce the intrusion of external dust or moisture, effectively protecting the data cable body and making it more practical.

An outer sheath 7 is sleeved on the data cable body 2, and a fixed mounting base 3 is fixedly installed at one end of the outer sheath 7. A rotating base 8 is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the fixed mounting base 3. A rotating rod 10 is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the first rotating round head 4, and a rotating rod 10 is fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 10. A rotating shaft 9 is fixedly installed on a rotating base 8. A second rotating round head 5 is fixedly installed on the second connecting connector 6, and a rotating slip ring 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head 5. A rotating groove 13 is opened at one end of the first rotating round head 4, and the rotating slip ring 14 is embedded in the rotating groove 13. The second connecting connector 6 is fixedly installed in the center of the second rotating round head 5, which enables the second connecting connector 6 to rotate flexibly. This not only improves the flexibility of HDMI cable connection, but also reduces the damage to the HDMI cable caused by frequent twisting of the cable, extends its service life, and makes it more practical.

[0028] In one embodiment, a flexible protective sleeve 11 is fixedly connected between the fixed mounting base 3 and the first rotating round head 4, which prevents it from having too much impact on the rotation process, and the flexible protective sleeve 11 can protect the data cable body 2 exposed outside the outer sheath 7.

[0029] In one embodiment, a protective sleeve 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head 5, and the protective sleeve 15 is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting round head, which protects the connection between the first connecting round head and the second connecting round head, so as to reduce the intrusion of external dust or moisture, effectively protect the data cable body 2, and make it more practical.

[0030] In one embodiment, a through hole 12 is provided in the center of one side of the first rotating round head 4, which serves to make way for the data cable body 2 that connects to the second connector 6.

[0031] In one embodiment, the central axes of the first rotating head 4 and the second rotating head 5 are on the same straight line.

[0032] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the rotating seat 8 is U-shaped.

[0033] Working Principle: This utility model includes a first connecting connector 1, a second connecting connector 6, a data cable body 2, a fixed mounting base 3, a first rotating round head 4, and a second rotating round head 5. One end of the data cable body 2 is connected to the first connecting connector 1, and the other end is connected to the second connecting connector 6. An outer sheath 7 is fitted onto the data cable body 2. A fixed mounting base 3 is fixedly mounted on one end of the outer sheath 7, and rotating seats 8 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on one side of the fixed mounting base 3. A rotating rod 10 is symmetrically fixedly mounted on one side of the first rotating round head 4, and a rotating shaft 9 is fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 10 and mounted on the rotating seat 8. A flexible protective sleeve 11 is fixedly connected between the base 3 and the first rotating round head 4, and the flexible protective sleeve 11 is sleeved on the outside of the data cable body 2. A second rotating round head 5 is fixedly installed on the second connecting connector 6, and a rotating slip ring 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head 5. A rotating groove 13 is opened at one end of the first rotating round head 4, and the rotating slip ring 14 is embedded in the rotating groove 13.

The portion of the data cable body 2 that passes through the through hole 12 and is located within the inner cavity of the first rotating round head 4 does not have an outer sheath 7 and is relatively loose. Therefore, excessive bending stress will not be generated during the rotation of the second connector 6, thus preventing significant damage to the data cable body 2. This allows for flexible rotation of the second connector 6 in an HDMI cable rotary connector, improving the flexibility of HDMI cable connection and reducing damage to the HDMI cable from frequent twisting, extending its service life, and enhancing its practicality. Furthermore, this utility model... As described above, a flexible protective sleeve 11 and a protective tube 15 are provided. The flexible protective sleeve 11 is fixedly connected between the fixed mounting base 3 and the first rotating round head 4. When the rotating rod 10 rotates around the rotating shaft 9, the flexible protective sleeve 11 can bend, so as not to have a significant impact on the rotation process. Moreover, the flexible protective sleeve 11 can protect the data cable body 2 exposed outside the outer sheath 7. On the other hand, the protective tube 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the second rotating round head 5, and the protective tube 15 is sleeved on the outside of the first connecting round head, thereby protecting the connection between the first connecting round head and the second connecting round head, reducing the intrusion of external dust or moisture, effectively protecting the data cable body 2, and making it more practical.
