Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of USB data cable technology, and more specifically, to a waterproof structure for a USB data cable. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of technology, USB data cables have become commonplace and are widely used in various digital products and electronic devices. As USB data cables have developed, more and more different kinds of USB data cables have appeared on the market.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent CN202021270525.4, a USB data cable with a safe and waterproof structure reduces the likelihood of breakage during use by incorporating an anti-breakage structure. Protective rubber sleeves are fitted around the input and output ports near the cable body. Inside these sleeves are protective springs that wrap around the cable body and protect it. Because partitions are placed at both ends of the inner side of the protective rubber sleeve, the springs are prevented from popping out of the sleeve. The protective springs effectively protect both sides of the cable body, preventing breakage. In existing USB data cables, the waterproof cover is connected to the input port via a spring. When the input port is connected to a device, the spring force can compress the device, causing the input port to loosen or detach, resulting in an unreliable connection.
[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a waterproof structure for USB data cables to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A waterproof structure for a USB data cable includes a waterproof shell first, a waterproof shell second on one side of the waterproof shell first, the waterproof shell second being connected to the waterproof shell first via a connecting mechanism, a USB connector between the waterproof shell first and the waterproof shell second, the USB connector being connected to the waterproof shell first via a fixing block, and a cable on one side of the USB connector, one end of the cable extending outside the waterproof shell first and connecting to an output port.
[0008] Preferably, a protective tube is fitted on the side of the waterproof shell one away from the waterproof shell two and on the outer wall of the line, and the protective tube is fixedly connected to the waterproof shell one.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the waterproof shell is provided with symmetrically arranged placement boxes on both sides, each placement box containing an activated carbon pack, and the outer wall of the placement box has several evenly distributed ventilation holes.
[0010] Preferably, the second waterproof shell is provided with a sealing gasket on the side near the first waterproof shell, and the first waterproof shell is provided with a sealing groove that matches the sealing gasket.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes symmetrically arranged insert plates on one side of the second waterproof shell near the first waterproof shell, an insertion port matching the insert plates on one side of the first waterproof shell, a mounting groove on the top of the insert plates, a matching sliding block in the mounting groove, a spring at the bottom of the sliding block, a retaining ball extending out of the mounting groove at the top of the sliding block, and a retaining groove on the first waterproof shell matching the retaining ball.
[0012] Preferably, the sliding block is connected to the insert plate via the spring, and the retaining ball is in rolling connection with the sliding block.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting up waterproof shell one and waterproof shell two, the USB connector can be protected in all directions. By setting up a connection mechanism, the waterproof shell two can be quickly removed when the USB connector is needed, so that the USB connector can be smoothly inserted into the device interface. When the USB connector is not used, the waterproof shell two can be quickly fixed to the waterproof shell one to protect the USB connector. The waterproof shell two can be dried inside by setting up a placement box and activated carbon bag, which further improves the waterproof performance of the interior of the waterproof shell one and waterproof shell two.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a waterproof structure for a USB data cable is provided.
[0022] Example 1;
[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the waterproof structure of the USB data cable according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a waterproof shell 1, a waterproof shell 2 on one side of the waterproof shell 1, the waterproof shell 2 being connected to the waterproof shell 1 via a connecting mechanism, a USB connector 3 being provided between the waterproof shell 1 and the waterproof shell 2, the USB connector 3 being connected to the waterproof shell 1 via a fixing block 4, a cable 5 being provided on one side of the USB connector 3, one end of the cable 5 extending outside the waterproof shell 1 and connecting to an output port 6.
[0024] Example 2;
[0025] like Figure 1-3As shown, the device includes a waterproof shell 1, with a second waterproof shell 2 on one side of the first waterproof shell 1. The second waterproof shell 2 is connected to the first waterproof shell 1 via a connecting mechanism. A USB connector 3 is provided between the first waterproof shell 1 and the second waterproof shell 2. The USB connector 3 is connected to the first waterproof shell 1 via a fixing block 4. A cable 5 is provided on one side of the USB connector 3, with one end of the cable 5 extending outside the first waterproof shell 1 and connecting to an output port 6. A protective tube 7 is fitted onto the outer wall of the first waterproof shell 1 away from the second waterproof shell 2 and located on the outer wall of the cable 5. The protective tube 7 is fixedly connected to the first waterproof shell 1. Symmetrically arranged placement boxes 8 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the second waterproof shell 2. Activated carbon packets are placed in the placement boxes 8, and several evenly distributed ventilation holes 9 are opened on the outer wall of the placement boxes 8. A sealing gasket 10 is provided on the side of the second waterproof shell 2 closest to the first waterproof shell 1, and a sealing groove matching the sealing gasket 10 is opened on the first waterproof shell 1. The connecting mechanism includes symmetrically arranged insert plates 11 on the side of the second waterproof shell 2 near the first waterproof shell 1. The first waterproof shell 1 has an insertion port 12 on one side that matches the insert plates 11. The top of the insert plates 11 has a mounting groove 13, and a matching sliding block 14 is provided in the mounting groove 13. A spring 15 is provided at the bottom of the sliding block 14, and a retaining ball 16 extending beyond the mounting groove 13 is provided at the top of the sliding block 14.

[0026] In practical applications, when the USB connector 3 is not used, the waterproof housing 2 and waterproof housing 1 are connected and installed. First, the insert plate 11 on the waterproof housing 2 is inserted into the socket 12 on the waterproof housing 1. After the insert plate 11 is fully inserted into the socket 12, the retaining ball 16, under the elastic compression of the sliding block 14 and the spring 15, will lock into the retaining groove 17 on the waterproof housing 1, limiting the insert plate 11, thereby connecting and fixing the waterproof housing 2 and waterproof housing 1. When using the USB connector 3, simply pull the waterproof housing 2 to connect it to the waterproof housing. The shell can be disassembled into two waterproof shells to provide all-around protection for the USB connector. The connection mechanism allows the waterproof shell to be quickly removed when the USB connector is needed, enabling the USB connector to be easily inserted into the device interface.
