A foldable signal conversion device

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of signal conversion devices, specifically a foldable signal conversion device, including a male converter. By setting up a protective mechanism, after the male and female converters are folded, pulling the handle moves the moving box. After the moving box is pulled out, the second protective cover is rotated to a vertical position. Then, pulling the second protective cover upwards moves the first and second lifting blocks. Subsequently, pushing the second protective cover to the back moves the first protective cover, thus placing the first and second protective covers over the interface of the male and female converters, protecting the interface. This solves the problems of exposed metal contacts and physical pins at the interface being easily damaged, and the external protective cover being easily lost during use. If not replaced in time, this directly affects the reliability and service life of the equipment.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of signal conversion devices, specifically a foldable signal conversion device. Background Technology

[0002] A signal conversion device is a device that uses hardware or software technology to convert one signal type, protocol, or interface standard into another compatible form. It aims to solve communication barriers between different systems, devices, or interfaces, and its core value lies in breaking down technical barriers and achieving interoperability.

[0003] To facilitate storage, existing signal conversion devices typically use flexible circuit boards for connection, thereby changing their spatial form. While maintaining the signal conversion function, the folding structure solves the problem of poor portability in traditional devices.

[0004] However, when the signal conversion device is folded and stored, its interface is usually exposed. The exposed metal contacts and physical pins are prone to physical damage, oxidation and corrosion, electrostatic breakdown, and foreign object intrusion. The external protective cover is easy to be lost during use. If it is not replaced in time, it will directly affect the reliability and service life of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses a foldable signal conversion device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A foldable signal conversion device includes a male converter 1, a flexible circuit board 6 mounted on the front side of the male converter 1, a female converter 2 mounted on the front side of the flexible circuit board 6, a positioning frame 5 fixedly mounted on the top of the female converter 2, a protective pad 4 fixedly mounted on the inner side of the positioning frame 5, one side of the protective pad 4 being in contact with the surface of the male converter 1, and a protective mechanism 3 mounted on the bottom of the female converter 2.

[0027] The protective mechanism 3 includes a storage box 302, the top of which is fixedly installed to the bottom of the female adapter 2. A movable box 301 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the storage box 302. A storage slot 306 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the movable box 301. A support block 310 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the storage slot 306. A first lifting block 316 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the support block 310. A second lifting block 318 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the first lifting block 316. The top of the second lifting block 318 is fixed. A fixed base 311 is connected, and a connecting rod 313 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the fixed base 311. A damping seat 312 is rotatably connected to the surface of the connecting rod 313. A second protective cover 304 is fixedly connected to the top of the damping seat 312. A connecting plate 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the second protective cover 304. A first protective cover 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 305. The back sides of the first protective cover 303 and the second protective cover 304 are respectively attached to the surfaces of the male adapter 1 and the female adapter 2.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Both sides of the support block 310 are fixedly connected to the connecting seat 314. The inner cavity of the connecting seat 314 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 315. The surface of the limiting rod 315 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the storage groove 306. By setting the limiting rod 315, the movement of the support block 310 can be guided, so that the support block 310 keeps moving horizontally and prevents the position of the support block 310 from shifting during the movement, thereby affecting the normal use of the first protective cover 303 and the second protective cover 304.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 Limiting grooves 317 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the support block 310 and the first lifting block 316. The inner cavity of the limiting groove 317 is slidably connected to the limiting plate 319. One side of the limiting plate 319 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first lifting block 316 and the second lifting block 318 respectively. By setting the limiting plate 319, the first lifting block 316 and the second lifting block 318 are respectively limited to prevent the first lifting block 316 and the second lifting block 318 from moving too far, causing the first lifting block 316 and the second lifting block 318 to detach from the inside of the support block 310 and the first lifting block 316, which would affect the subsequent normal reset.

[0030] Reference Figure 3 The front side of the inner cavity of the mobile box 301 is provided with a groove 309. A handle 307 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the groove 309. An anti-slip sleeve 308 is fixedly connected to the surface of the handle 307. The anti-slip sleeve 308 is made of silicone. By setting the handle 307, the contact area between the operator's hand and the mobile box 301 is increased, thereby making it easier to pull the mobile box 301 out from the inside of the storage box 302.

[0031] Reference Figure 6Guide grooves 321 are provided on both sides of the inner cavity of the movable box 301. A guide rod 323 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide groove 321. One end of the guide rod 323 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the storage box 302. The guide rod 323 guides the movable box 301, improves the stability of the movable box 301 during movement, and facilitates the movable box 301 to enter and exit the interior of the storage box 302.

[0032] Reference Figure 6 A weak spring 320 is fixedly connected to the back side of the movable box 301. One end of the weak spring 320 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the storage box 302. The inner cavity of the weak spring 320 is sleeved on the surface of the guide rod 323. The position of the movable box 301 is positioned by the weak spring 320. When the movable box 301 is not under force, the movable box 301 can be reset by restoring its deformation through the weak spring 320. This allows the first protective cover 303 and the second protective cover 304 to fit tightly against the surfaces of the male adapter 1 and the female adapter 2, and also facilitates the storage of the movable box 301.

[0033] Reference Figure 6 A positioning groove 324 is provided on the front side of the inner cavity of the guide groove 321. A positioning ring 322 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the positioning groove 324. The inner cavity of the positioning ring 322 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod 323. The positioning ring 322 is provided to prevent the moving box 301 from detaching from the inside of the storage box 302 during the movement process, which would affect the normal use of the moving box 301.

[0034] Working Principle: First, by gripping and rotating the male adapter 1, it is rotated to the top of the female adapter 2. Simultaneously, the surface of the male adapter 1 is engaged with the inside of the positioning frame 5, positioning the male adapter 1 stably on top of the female adapter 2. The protective pad 4 protects the surface of the male adapter 1 from wear during contact with the positioning frame 5. After the male adapter 1 and female adapter 2 are folded, the operator pulls the handle 307 forward, causing the moving box 301 to move out of the storage box 302. After the moving box 301 is pulled out, the second protective cover 304 can be rotated from a horizontal to a vertical position. During the rotation of the second protective cover 304, the damping seat 312 rotates on the surface of the connecting rod 313. The damping seat 312, made of rubber, increases the resistance during rotation, preventing it from rotating without external force and thus improving the fixation of the second protective cover 304. Pulling the second protective cover 304 upwards moves the first lifting block 316 and the second lifting block 318 upwards. Once fully extended, the first and second protective covers 303 and 304 can be pulled out of the storage slot 306. Finally, pushing the second protective cover 304 to the back moves the first protective cover 303, thus fitting the first and second protective covers 303 onto the interfaces of the male adapter 1 and the female adapter 2, protecting them from damage caused by external environmental interference.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
