[0020] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] 1. In this utility model, by providing a pull-out component and a rotating positioning component inside, and using a flexible soft rubber material as the outer shell, the cushioning force of the outer shell is greatly improved. Even if the USB flash drive is dropped from a height, it can protect the internal core to a great extent. Moreover, when the USB flash drive is in use, a large amount of heat will not be concentrated on the flexible outer shell, improving the overall user experience of the USB flash drive. After the USB flash drive is stored, the positioning structure can provide good protection and positioning for the USB flash drive, improving the overall practical application effect of the USB flash drive.
[0022] 2. In this utility model, by providing a first sealing gasket and a second sealing gasket inside, after the USB flash drive is stored, the interface of the USB flash drive body faces the inside of the soft rubber sleeve. At the same time, the first sealing gasket and the second sealing gasket can fit tightly together, so that the inside of the USB flash drive body has a good and stable sealing effect, thereby playing an effective dustproof role. External dust is not easy to enter the interface of the USB flash drive body, ensuring the continuous use effect of the USB flash drive. Moreover, at night, multiple fluorescent strips can reflect a lot of light, making the USB flash drive easy to find. The actual application effect is good. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] In specific implementation, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a novel USB flash drive with a flexible shell, including a soft rubber sleeve 3, a hanging strap 1 at one end of the soft rubber sleeve 3, a positioning groove 5 and a travel groove 6 on the top surface of the soft rubber sleeve 3, and fluorescent strips 2 on both outer walls of the soft rubber sleeve 3.
[0032] The pull-out assembly 8 and the rotary positioning assembly 4 are provided. The pull-out assembly 8 is movably installed inside the soft rubber sleeve 3, and the rotary positioning assembly 4 is rotatably installed on the top of the pull-out assembly 8.
[0033] The pull-out assembly 8 includes a protective frame 81, which is slidably installed on the inner side of the soft rubber sleeve 3. The inner side of the protective frame 81 is provided with an inner mounting groove 82. The inner side of the inner mounting groove 82 is rotatably installed with a USB flash drive body 83 via a rotating shaft. The outer walls on both sides of the USB flash drive body 83 are provided with second sealing gaskets 84.
[0034] The rotary positioning assembly 4 includes a pivot pin 42. A mounting sleeve 86 is provided on the top surface of the protective frame 81. The pivot pin 42 is rotatably installed inside the mounting sleeve 86. A rotating ring 45 is provided on the outside of the pivot pin 42. The rotating ring 45 is rotatably installed in an annular inner groove 85 provided on the inner side of the mounting sleeve 86. A bottom spring 44 is provided at the bottom of the pivot pin 42. The bottom end of the bottom spring 44 is in close contact with the inner wall of the bottom surface of the mounting sleeve 86. A positioning insert plate 41 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the pivot pin 42 by a connecting post 43. The positioning insert plate 41 is snapped into the inner side of the positioning groove 5. The mounting sleeve 86 is movably connected to the travel groove 6. There are two positioning insert plates 41 and two connecting posts 43 symmetrically arranged about the longitudinal center plane of the soft rubber sleeve 3.
[0035] In actual use, when it is necessary to push out the pull-out component 8, simply lift the pivot pin 42 to disengage the positioning plates 41 on both sides from the positioning groove 5. At this time, the pull-out component 8 is released from positioning. Then, rotate the pivot pin 42 to rotate the positioning plates 41 to an angle perpendicular to the positioning groove 5. The pull-out component 8 can then be pushed outward. After pushing out, the USB flash drive body 83 can be rotated directly for use. At this time, the positioning plates 41 can be reset and locked in the corresponding positioning groove 5, thus completing the positioning of the pull-out component 8. During use, the heat of the USB flash drive body 83 will only be conducted to the protective frame 81 and not to the soft rubber sleeve 3, improving the user experience.

[0037] After the USB flash drive is stored, the interface of the USB flash drive body 83 faces the inside of the soft rubber sleeve 3. At the same time, the first sealing gasket 7 and the second sealing gasket 84 can fit tightly together, so that the inside of the USB flash drive body 83 has a good and stable sealing effect, which can effectively prevent dust. External dust is not easy to enter the interface of the USB flash drive body 83, ensuring the continuous use of the USB flash drive. In addition, at night, multiple fluorescent strips 2 can reflect a lot of light, making the USB flash drive easy to find.
[0038] Working principle: In actual use, when it is necessary to push out the pull-out component 8, simply lift the pivot pin 42 to disengage the positioning plates 41 on both sides from the positioning groove 5. At this time, the pull-out component 8 is released from positioning. Then, rotate the pivot pin 42 to rotate the positioning plates 41 to an angle perpendicular to the positioning groove 5. The pull-out component 8 can then be pushed outward. After pushing out, the USB flash drive body 83 can be rotated directly for use. This will reset the positioning plates 41, which will then be locked in the corresponding positioning groove 5, thus completing the positioning of the pull-out component 8. During use, the heat of the USB flash drive body 83 will only be conducted to the protective frame 81 and not to the soft rubber sleeve 3, improving the user experience.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
