[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a data cable with controllable length, including:

[0028] The storage mechanism 100 includes an upper plate 110, a rotating component 120 disposed on the outside of the upper plate 110, a damping shaft 130 hinged to one side of the upper plate 110, an adjusting plate 140 fixedly installed on the rotating part of the damping shaft 130, and a lower plate 150 disposed on the outside of the upper plate 110.

[0029] The telescopic mechanism 200 includes a housing 210 movably fitted at the central through hole of the upper plate 110, an elastic component 220 disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 210, and a limiting groove 230 disposed in the inner wall of the housing 210.

[0030] The data cable 170 is flexibly adjustable in length through the cooperation of the storage mechanism 100 and the telescopic mechanism 200. The upper plate 110 is combined with the rotating component 120 to facilitate manual control of the data cable 170's winding and unwinding. The design of the damping shaft 130 and the adjusting plate 140 makes the winding process more stable and prevents the data cable 170 from becoming loose. The lower plate 150 provides support. The telescopic design of the shell 210 and the elastic component 220 can adapt to different usage scenarios. The limiting groove 230 prevents the data cable 170 from being misaligned or stuck during the extension and retraction process.

[0031] Specifically, the elastic component 220 includes a movable sleeve 221 that is movably fitted inside the cavity of the housing 210, and a connecting plate 222 that is fixedly installed on one side of the movable sleeve 221. The elastic component 220 also includes a return spring 223 that is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting plate 222, and an iron block 224 that is fixedly installed on the end of the return spring 223.

[0032] The movable sleeve 221 and connecting plate 222 in the elastic component 220 enhance the flexibility of the telescopic mechanism, making the data cable 170 smoother when stretched or retracted. The movable sleeve 221 can move along the inner cavity of the shell 210 to ensure that the data cable 170 is evenly wound or released, while the connecting plate 222 provides a fixed fulcrum for the return spring 223, improving the reliability of the overall structure. The addition of the return spring 223 and the iron block 224 enables the telescopic mechanism to have an automatic rebound function. After the user releases the data cable 170, it will automatically retract, preventing the data cable 170 from being too long and tangled. The iron block 224 cooperates with the magnetic block 250 to further stabilize the retracted state, prevent the data cable 170 from accidentally coming loose, and improve the ease of use.

[0033] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism 200 also includes a limiting plate 240 fixedly installed on the outside of the housing 210, and a magnetic block 250 fixedly installed in the center of the inner cavity of the housing 210.

[0034] Among them, the limiting plate 240 and the magnetic block 250 optimize the limiting and fixing functions of the telescopic mechanism 200. The limiting plate 240 restricts the movement range of the movable sleeve 221 to avoid excessive stretching and damage to the data cable 170. The magnetic block 250 and the iron block 224 are attracted by magnetic force to ensure that the data cable 170 remains compact when stored, while facilitating quick unfolding or re-storage.

[0035] Preferably, the rotating assembly 120 includes a connecting plate 121 fixedly installed on the outside of the limiting plate 240, a knob 122 fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting plate 121, and an anti-slip groove 123 opened on the outside of the knob 122. The limiting groove 230 is opened in an annular shape, and one side edge of the movable sleeve 221 is movably engaged in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 230.

[0036] The design of the connecting plate 121, knob 122, and anti-slip groove 123 in the rotating assembly 120 enhances the convenience of user operation. The knob 122 facilitates manual rotation to adjust the length of the data cable 170, and the anti-slip groove 123 increases friction to prevent slippage. The connecting plate 121 ensures that the rotation action is smoothly transmitted to the adjustment plate 140, so that the data cable 170 can be evenly wound on the outer surface of the housing 210. The cooperation between the annular limiting groove 230 and the movable sleeve 221 ensures the stability of the extension and retraction process. When the movable sleeve 221 slides along the limiting groove 230, it can avoid skewing or jamming, making the data cable 170 easier to extend and retract, while preventing the data cable 170 from being misaligned or overlapping during the winding process, ensuring that the data cable 170 is neatly arranged.

[0037] Furthermore, the storage mechanism 100 also includes a suction cup 160 fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower plate 150, a data cable 170 wound around the outside of the telescopic mechanism 200, and a connector 180 fixedly installed at one end of the data cable 170.

[0038] The suction cup 160 can fix the data cable 170 on a flat surface such as a desktop to prevent it from moving around. The data cable 170 is wrapped around the outside of the telescopic mechanism 200 and can be wound or released in an orderly manner by adjusting the unfolding of the adjustment plate 140, which makes it easy to quickly adjust the length or remove it completely. The connector 180 has a standardized design that is compatible with a variety of devices and meets the plug-and-play requirement. The overall structure takes into account functionality, portability and durability.

[0039] In use, the user rotates the knob 122 to drive the connecting plate 121 and the adjusting plate 140 to rotate, releasing or winding the data cable 170 from the housing 210. When stretched, the movable sleeve 221 slides along the limiting groove 230, the return spring 223 is stretched, and the iron block 224 separates from the magnetic block 250. When released, the return spring 223 automatically retracts, driving the movable sleeve 221 to reset, and the iron block 224 is re-adsorbed onto the magnetic block 250 for fixation. The suction cup 160 can fix the entire device on the desktop, and the connector 180 connects to the equipment for use, realizing controllable adjustment of the data cable length, automatic retraction, and stable fixation.

[0040] In summary, the rotating component 120, in conjunction with the damping shaft 130 and the adjusting plate 140, achieves stable winding, ensuring that the data cable 170 is neatly and orderly wound up and down. The elastic component 220, through the magnetic attraction structure achieved by the return spring 223, the iron block 224, and the magnetic block 250, gives the data cable 170 an automatic retraction function, preventing tangling and knotting. The precise cooperation between the limiting groove 230 and the movable sleeve 221 ensures smooth extension and retraction, while the suction cup 160 and modular design enhance the product's fixing ability and compatibility, solving the problems of tangling and pulling caused by the non-adjustable length of the traditional data cable 170. Furthermore, the integrated design enables quick adjustment, automatic storage, and device compatibility, significantly improving the user experience and product durability.
