Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data cable protection technology, and more specifically, to a data cable connector protective sleeve. Background Technology
[0002] Data cables are a common accessory in digital products, used to provide power and transmit data. Traditional data cables often break at the connection between the connector and the wires, severely shortening their lifespan and even posing safety hazards such as fires. This is because when charging or transmitting data, the connector is horizontal, while the wires hang down, causing bending at the connection point. Prolonged bending severely wears down the outer protective shell and the internal wires. Furthermore, users often pull on the data cable during connection, ultimately leading to breakage at the connector-wire connection. With the cable broken, the exposed wires are susceptible to electrical leakage and even fire hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a protective sleeve for the data cable connector to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing data cable connectors may cause danger due to breakage at the connection point with the data cable after long-term use.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A protective sleeve for a data cable connector includes a sleeve body, the sleeve body including a head cover, a cable sleeve disposed at the bottom of the head cover, and a limiting ball disposed at the bottom of the cable sleeve. The head cover, cable sleeve, and limiting ball have placement cavities inside, and the surfaces of the head cover, cable sleeve, and limiting ball have slots communicating with the placement cavities. The top of the head cover is provided with a sealing component for protecting the connector, and the side wall of the cable sleeve is provided with a fastening component.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the sealing assembly includes a rubber block disposed on the side wall of the headgear and a sealing sleeve disposed at the end of the rubber block away from the headgear.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the top of the headgear is provided with a sealing groove, and the top of the sealing sleeve is provided with a sealing strip that cooperates with the sealing groove.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the fastening component includes an elastic restraint band disposed on one side of the sleeve and a fixed shaft disposed on the other side of the sleeve. The surface of the elastic restraint band is provided with a groove that mates with the fixed shaft, and the end of the fixed shaft is provided with a limiting bead.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with several anti-slip grooves.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a reinforcing sleeve is provided at the connection end between the headgear and the cable sleeve.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the headgear, the thread sleeve, and the limiting ball are integrally formed, and the headgear, the thread sleeve, and the limiting ball are all made of rubber.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] By designing a sleeve, when using the data cable, the connector is inserted into the sleeve, while the cable itself, where it connects to the connector, is tucked into the sleeve. This sleeve and head cover protect the data cable and connector. Furthermore, the cable at the connector connection point is prevented from bending and being damaged by the sleeve and head cover. When the data cable is not in use, the sealing component further protects the connector, preventing it from coming into contact with foreign objects or becoming contaminated and damaged. This solves the problem of existing technologies where data cables and connectors lack protective measures during use, easily leading to cable bending and damage, as well as connector damage from contact with foreign objects.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a data cable connector protective sleeve, including a sleeve body 1. The sleeve body 1 includes a head sleeve 101, a cable sleeve 102 disposed at the bottom of the head sleeve 101, and a limiting ball 103 disposed at the bottom of the cable sleeve 102. The head sleeve 101, the cable sleeve 102, and the limiting ball 103 have placement cavities inside, and the surfaces of the head sleeve 101, the cable sleeve 102, and the limiting ball 103 have slots 4 that communicate with the placement cavities. The top of the head sleeve 101 is provided with a sealing component 2 for protecting the connector, and the side wall of the cable sleeve 102 is provided with a fastening component 3.
[0022] When using the data cable, the connector of the data cable is inserted into the head sleeve 101 through the slot 4, and the cable body connected to the connector is inserted into the cable sleeve 102. Therefore, the head sleeve 101 and the cable sleeve 102 can protect the data cable and the connector from damage caused by impact from external objects. In addition, the connection end between the data cable and the connector is blocked by the cable sleeve 102, preventing it from bending easily and thus avoiding breakage at the data cable connector. The limiting ball 103 makes it easy for personnel to pick up the sleeve 1 and prevents it from slipping. When the data cable is not in use and the time interval before the next use is short, the sleeve 1 does not need to be removed. The sealing component 2 can seal and protect the connector, which can not only prevent the connector from being damaged by impact from external objects, but also prevent the connector from being damaged by contact with dirt. In addition, the fastening component 3 can bind and tighten the cable sleeve 102 to prevent the slot 4 on the surface of the cable sleeve 102 from opening and causing the data cable to fall off.
[0023] The inner wall of the cable sleeve 102 is provided with several anti-slip grooves 6. After the data cable is inserted into the cable sleeve 102, the anti-slip grooves 6 can increase the friction between the cable sleeve 102 and the data cable, prevent the data cable from rotating inside the cable sleeve 102, and thus improve the stability of the data cable inside the cable sleeve 102.
[0024] A reinforcing sleeve 5 is provided at the connection end of the head cover 101 and the cable sleeve 102. The reinforcing sleeve 5 can increase the hardness of the contact end between the head cover 101 and the cable sleeve 102, prevent the contact end between the head cover 101 and the cable sleeve 102 from bending, and thus further prevent the contact end between the connector and the data cable from bending and being damaged.
[0025] The head cover 101, cable sleeve 102, and limiting ball 103 are integrally molded, and all three are made of rubber. The sleeve 1, made of rubber, has elasticity, allowing it to bend slightly, which facilitates slight movement of the data cable to adjust its direction of use. In addition, the soft rubber material can also cushion and protect the data cable and connector, preventing them from being damaged by impacts from external objects.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the sealing assembly 2 further includes a rubber block 202 disposed on the side wall of the headgear 101 and a sealing sleeve 201 disposed on the end of the rubber block 202 away from the headgear 101.
[0027] The headgear 101 has a sealing groove 1011 at the top, and the sealing sleeve 201 has a sealing strip 2011 at the top that cooperates with the sealing groove 1011.
[0028] When the data cable and connector are not in use, rotate the sealing sleeve 201 so that it abuts against the top of the head cover 101. This will protect the connector end extending to the outside of the head cover 101. Furthermore, the sealing strip 2011 on the top of the sealing sleeve 201 is inserted into the sealing groove 1011 on the top of the head cover 101. This not only improves the sealing performance of the connector and prevents dirt from seeping into the inside of the head cover 101, but also improves the stability of the connection between the sealing sleeve 201 and the head cover 101.
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, based on the above method, the fastening component 3 further includes an elastic restraint band 301 disposed on one side of the sleeve 102 and a fixed shaft 302 disposed on the other side of the sleeve 102. The surface of the elastic restraint band 301 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the fixed shaft 302, and the end of the fixed shaft 302 is provided with a limiting bead.
[0030] After the data cable and connector are inserted into the cable sleeve 102 and the head cover 101, the elastic restraint band 301 can be pulled to wrap the cable sleeve 102 and pass the slot through the fixed shaft 302. The limit bead blocks the elastic restraint band 301, thereby tightening the cable sleeve 102 through the elastic restraint band 301 and preventing the slot 4 on the surface of the cable sleeve 102 from opening and causing the data cable to fall off.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using the data cable, the connector of the data cable is inserted into the head sleeve 101 through the slot 4, and the cable body at the connection point with the connector is inserted into the cable sleeve 102. Therefore, the head sleeve 101 and the cable sleeve 102 can protect the data cable and connector from damage caused by impact from external objects. In addition, the connection end between the data cable and the connector is blocked by the cable sleeve 102, preventing it from bending easily and thus avoiding breakage at the data cable connector. The limiting ball 103 facilitates personnel to pick up the sleeve 1 and prevents it from slipping. When the data cable is not in use and the time interval before the next use is short, and there is no need to remove the sleeve 1, rotate the sealing sleeve 201 so that the sealing sleeve 201 abuts against the top of the head cover 101. This will cover and protect the connector end extending to the outside of the head cover 101. Moreover, the sealing strip 2011 on the top of the sealing sleeve 201 is inserted into the sealing groove 1011 on the top of the head cover 101, which not only improves the sealing performance of the connector and prevents dirt from seeping into the inside of the head cover 101, but also improves the stability of the connection between the sealing sleeve 201 and the head cover 101.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Therefore, any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present utility model, and all technical solutions and improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention, are covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
