Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of data cable technology, and specifically relates to a data cable, an electrical device, and a combination of electrical devices. Background Technology

[0002] Data cables typically have connectors (such as Type-C interfaces) at their ends, which are plugged into the connectors (male / female) of electrical devices to establish an electrical connection. However, it is difficult to align the connectors with the interfaces, and misalignment can easily damage the connectors during connection. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a data cable, a power device, and a combination of power devices, designed to improve the problem of misalignment between connectors and plugs.

[0004] This application provides a data cable, including a housing, a circuit board, a wire body, conductive terminals, and two or more magnetic adsorption members; the housing includes a receiving cavity and an abutment surface; the circuit board is disposed in the receiving cavity; the wire body is disposed in the receiving cavity and electrically connected to the circuit board; the conductive terminals are electrically connected to the circuit board and extend from the receiving cavity to the abutment surface; two or more magnetic adsorption members are disposed at intervals on the abutment surface and are configured to magnetically engage with corresponding mating parts on the electrical device, so that the conductive terminals can be plugged into the electrical device.

[0005] In the aforementioned data cable, when all the adsorption components and mating components correspond one-to-one, the conductive terminals are aligned with the plug interface of the electrical device. All the adsorption components and their corresponding mating components magnetically engage simultaneously, enabling the contact surface to stably abut against the electrical device under the action of magnetic attraction, thus allowing the conductive terminals to be stably plugged into the plug interface, and consequently enabling the data cable to be stably electrically connected to the electrical device.

[0006] By adjusting the adsorption components to correspond with the mating components, the part of the outer shell with the contact surface can be adjusted to the correct position and orientation, so that the conductive terminals are aligned with the plug interface. The connection between the conductive terminals and the electrical equipment is convenient, reliable, and accurate, reducing the risk of the conductive terminals being difficult to insert into the plug interface due to misalignment between the contact surface and the electrical equipment, as well as the risk of damage to the conductive terminals or the plug interface.

[0007] In some embodiments, the conductive terminal is provided with adsorption elements on both sides of the opposite side in the width direction of the contact surface.

[0008] When the adsorption component and the corresponding mating component are magnetically attracted, a multi-point magnetic attraction force can be formed between the contact surface and the electrical equipment. The conductive terminal is fixed in position by the magnetic attraction force on both sides, so that the conductive terminal and the plug interface form a stable and accurate plug-in fit. The magnetic attraction force is distributed on both sides along the width direction of the contact surface, so that the connection between the contact surface and the electrical equipment is firm, which can reduce the risk of accidental detachment of the conductive component.

[0009] In some embodiments, the adsorption element is configured as a magnet, and the magnetic poles of the adsorption elements distributed on one side of the width direction are different from those of the adsorption elements distributed on the other side of the width direction.

[0010] By using the different magnetic poles of the magnets at both ends of the contact surface, it is ensured that the casing can only be stably attracted to the electrical equipment in the only correct orientation, effectively preventing assembly errors or damage to conductive terminals caused by incorrect casing orientation.

[0011] In some embodiments, the abutment surface is provided with a clearance groove, which is configured to accommodate and fix the adsorption member.

[0012] The contact surface is equipped with a recessed groove to accommodate and fix the adsorption component, thereby providing installation space for the adsorption component.

[0013] In some embodiments, the housing includes a flexible shell and a cover; the flexible shell has a cavity and a first groove, the cavity communicating with the first groove and being configured to receive a line; the cover is at least partially fixed to the first groove to connect with the flexible shell to form a receiving cavity; the abutment surface is located on the side of the cover opposite to the first groove.

[0014] The aforementioned cover and the flexible shell together form an outer shell. The cover is at least partially fixed within the first groove to position the cover and prevent it from shifting relative to the flexible shell. In some embodiments, a first retaining ring surrounds the side surface of the cover; a second retaining ring surrounds the inner wall of the first groove, and the second retaining ring is located at the opening of the first groove; when the cover is connected to the flexible shell, the first retaining ring is located in the first groove; the second retaining ring abuts against the side of the first retaining ring near the opening of the groove.

[0015] The second retaining ring abuts against the side of the first retaining ring facing the groove to stop the first retaining ring from moving toward the groove, thereby confining the first retaining ring within the first groove and preventing the cover from detaching from the soft shell.

[0016] In some embodiments, the cover has a first mating surface and a second groove. The first mating surface is configured to abut against the surface of the circuit board, and the second groove is configured to accommodate a conductive terminal. The bottom of the second groove has a through hole, which is configured to accommodate the contact end of the conductive terminal extending out of the mating surface.

[0017] When the cover is connected to the flexible shell, the first mating surface abuts against the circuit board to the first groove to position the circuit board and limit its vertical movement. The second groove avoids and accommodates the conductive terminals to protect them, and the through hole can accommodate the contact end protruding from the mating surface, allowing the contact end of the conductive terminal to be inserted into the connector.

[0018] In some embodiments, the cable is configured as a flexible flat cable.

[0019] Flexible flat cables are highly flexible and foldable, making it easy to fold, store, and carry data cables.

[0020] In some embodiments, the circuit board has a positioning hole that can accommodate a conductive terminal; the circuit board has an electrical connection portion that surrounds the positioning hole, and the conductive terminal is soldered to the electrical connection portion.

[0021] The conductive terminal is accommodated through the positioning hole to position it relative to the circuit board. After the conductive terminal is positioned in the positioning hole, it can be soldered to the electrical connection part surrounding the positioning hole so that the conductive terminal is fixed relative to the circuit board and electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0022] This application also provides an electrical device configured to be electrically connected to a data line as described in any of the above embodiments; the electrical device includes a plug interface and at least two mating members, the mating members being configured to magnetically engage with the data line's adsorption members, and the plug interface being configured to plug into the conductive terminals of the data line.

[0023] This application also provides an electrical device assembly, including a data cable and an electrical device in any of the above embodiments; the electrical device includes a plug interface and at least two mating parts, the mating parts being configured to magnetically engage with the adsorption parts of the data cable, and the plug interface being configured to plug into the conductive terminals of the data cable.

[0024] In the aforementioned electrical equipment and equipment combinations, by adjusting the adsorption components to correspond one-to-one with the mating components, the outer casing can be adjusted to the correct position and orientation so that the conductive terminals are aligned with the plug-in interface. This makes the connection between the data cable and the electrical equipment convenient, reliable, and highly accurate, reducing the risk of the conductive terminals being difficult to insert into the plug-in interface due to misalignment of the data cable and the electrical equipment, as well as the risk of damage to the conductive terminals or the plug-in interface.

[0031] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate this application. Detailed Implementation

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0033] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "perpendicular" is used to describe the ideal state between two components. In actual production or use, two components may be in a state that is approximately perpendicular. The term "parallel" is used to describe the ideal state between two components. In actual production or use, two components may be in a state that is approximately parallel.

[0035] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0037] Data cables typically have connectors (such as Type-C interfaces) at their ends, which are plugged into the connectors (male / female) of electrical devices to establish an electrical connection. However, it is difficult to align the connectors with the interfaces, and misalignment can easily damage the connectors during connection.

[0038] An embodiment of this application provides a data cable, including a housing, a circuit board, a wire body, conductive terminals, and two or more magnetic adsorption members; the housing includes a receiving cavity and an abutment surface; the circuit board is disposed in the receiving cavity; the wire body is disposed in the receiving cavity and electrically connected to the circuit board; the conductive terminals are electrically connected to the circuit board and extend from the receiving cavity to the abutment surface; two or more magnetic adsorption members are disposed at intervals on the abutment surface and are configured to magnetically engage with corresponding mating parts on the electrical device, so that the conductive terminals can be plugged into the electrical device.

[0039] In the aforementioned data cable, when all the magnetic adsorption components and mating components correspond one-to-one, the conductive terminals align with the connector of the electrical device. All the magnetic adsorption components and their corresponding mating components simultaneously engage magnetically, allowing the contact surface to stably abut against the electrical device under the influence of magnetic force. This ensures the conductive terminals are stably inserted into the connector, thereby providing a stable electrical connection between the data cable and the electrical device. By adjusting the magnetic adsorption components to correspond one-to-one with the mating components, the portion of the outer casing with the contact surface can be adjusted to the correct position and orientation, ensuring the conductive terminals align with the connector. This makes the connection between the conductive terminals and the electrical device convenient, reliable, and highly accurate, reducing the risk of misalignment between the contact surface and the electrical device, which could lead to difficulty in inserting the conductive terminals into the connector, or damage to the conductive terminals or the connector.

[0040] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the various embodiments in this application can be combined with each other.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 Embodiments of this application provide an electrical device assembly 200, including an electrical device 210 and a data cable 100, wherein the electrical device 210 is electrically connected to the data cable 100 for transmitting data via the data cable 100. Exemplarily, the electrical device 210 includes a hard disk.

[0042] Please combine Figures 2 to 4 The data cable 100 includes a housing 10, a circuit board 20, a cable body 30, conductive terminals 40, and two or more magnetic attachments 50. The housing 10 includes a receiving cavity 101 and an abutment surface 102. The circuit board 20 and the cable body 30 are both disposed in the receiving cavity 101, and the circuit board 20 is electrically connected to the cable body 30, so that the housing 10 can mount and protect the circuit board 20 and the cable body 30. The conductive terminals 40 are mechanically and electrically connected to the circuit board 20 and extend from the receiving cavity 101 to the abutment surface 102. Two or more magnetic attachments 50 are spaced apart on the abutment surface 102.

[0043] Two or more magnetic attachments 50 are configured to magnetically engage with corresponding mating parts on the electrical device 210, so that the conductive terminal 40 is inserted into the electrical device 210, thereby electrically connecting the data cable 100 to the electrical device 210 (see Figure 100). Figure 1 ).

[0044] Please see Figure 5 The electrical device 210 has a plug-in interface 2101 and two or more mating parts, the number of which is the same as the number of adsorption parts 50, so that each adsorption part 50 corresponds to and magnetically engages with one mating part. In the illustrated embodiment, the mating parts are fixedly disposed inside the electrical device 210 to conceal them and make the surface of the electrical device 210 smooth. In other embodiments, the mating parts are disposed on the surface of the electrical device 210, making it convenient for the user to observe the position of the mating parts during the connection of the data cable 100 and the electrical device 210.

[0045] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 When all the adsorption components 50 and mating components correspond one-to-one, the conductive terminal 40 is aligned with the plug interface 2101. All the adsorption components 50 and their corresponding mating components are magnetically attracted and mated at the same time (each adsorption component 50 adsorbs one mating component). This allows the contact surface 102 to stably abut against the outer surface of the electrical device 210 under the action of magnetic attraction, so that the conductive terminal 40 is stably plugged into the plug interface 2101 of the electrical device 210 and remains plugged in without external force, thereby enabling the data cable 100 to stably connect to the electrical device 210.

[0046] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, one end of the cable 30 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20 and interacts with the device 210 through the conductive terminal 40, the contact surface 102 and the adsorption member 50, so that the cable 30 is electrically connected to the device 210; the other end of the cable 30 is electrically connected to an interface module C (such as a Type-C interface module C), the interface module C is a male connector and is used to plug into the female connector of the host, so that the cable 30 is electrically connected to the host, thereby enabling the cable 30 to transmit data between the device 210 and the host.

[0047] The structure of the data cable 100 used to mate with the electrical device 210 is defined as connector A. Connector A mainly involves the circuit board 20, the contact surface 102, the adsorption element 50, the conductive terminal 40, and part of the outer shell 10. In other embodiments, connectors A are provided at both ends of the cable 30; or, connector A is provided at one end of the cable 30, and the other end of the cable 30 is directly electrically connected to the host, which also allows the electrical device 210 to transmit data with the host via the data cable 100.

[0048] In some embodiments, the cable 30 is a flexible flat panel cable. A flexible flat panel cable, also known as a flexible printed circuit board 20 or a flexible circuit board, is highly flexible, foldable, lightweight, and thin, making it convenient to fold, store, and carry the data cable 100. The flexible flat panel cable is soldered to the circuit board 20 and the interface module C.

[0049] Understandably, if the conductive terminal 40 is misaligned with the connector 2101, the adsorption member 50 will also be misaligned with the mating member. This would cause the magnetic attraction of the connector A to weaken significantly when it moves closer to the electrical equipment 210, or even result in the adsorption member 50 and the mating member repelling each other. This would prevent the contact surface 102 from contacting the electrical equipment 210, meaning that the conductive terminal 40 would experience resistance (magnetic repulsion) when moving towards the connector 2101. This reduces the risk of damage to the conductive terminal 40 or the electrical equipment 210 due to misalignment. Thus, the connector A can only magnetically engage with the mating member when its position relative to the electrical equipment 210 is correct. By positioning the position and orientation of the connector A, the risk of misalignment between the conductive terminal 40 and the connector 2101 is reduced.

[0050] By adjusting the adsorption element 50 to align with the mating parts, connector A can be adjusted to the correct position and orientation, ensuring that the conductive terminal 40 is aligned with the insertion interface 2101. This makes the connection between connector A and the electrical device 210 convenient, reliable, and highly accurate, reducing the risk of misalignment between connector A and the electrical device 210, which could lead to difficulty in inserting the conductive terminal 40 into the insertion interface 2101, or damage to the conductive terminal 40 or the insertion interface 2101. Furthermore, during the movement or rotation of connector A relative to the electrical device 210, the user can feel the changes in the magnetic force between the adsorption element 50 and the mating parts (mutual attraction, mutual repulsion, increase / decrease in magnetic attraction, increase / decrease in repulsion, etc.), and can adjust connector A to the correct position under the guidance of the magnetic force, reducing the probability of incorrect rotation or movement of connector A and improving the user experience.

[0051] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the conductive terminal 40 is provided with adsorption elements 50 on both sides of the abutment surface 102 in the width direction Y.

[0052] When the adsorption component 50 and the corresponding mating component are magnetically attracted, a multi-point magnetic attraction force can be formed between the contact surface 102 and the electrical equipment 210. The conductive terminal 40 is fixed in position by means of the magnetic attraction force on both sides, so that the conductive terminal 40 and the plug interface 2101 form a stable and accurate plug-in fit.

[0053] For example, the contact surface 102 is generally rectangular, with a long side and a wide side. The long side is longer than the wide side. The wide side is parallel to the width direction Y, while the long side is parallel to the length direction X. With the width direction Y of the contact surface 102 as the central axis, suction members 50 are distributed on both sides of the central axis to suction and fix the contact surface 102 to the electrical device 210. A larger length dimension makes it easier to detach from the electrical device 210. By providing suction members 50 at opposite ends of the long side, magnetic attraction can be used to constrain the long side of the contact surface 102, reducing the risk of the contact surface 102 shifting, lifting, or detaching from the electrical device 210, thus ensuring a stable connection between the contact surface 102 and the electrical device 210.

[0054] In some embodiments, adsorption members 50 are also provided on both sides of the longitudinal direction X of the contact surface 102, that is, with the longitudinal direction X of the contact surface 102 as the central axis, adsorption members 50 are distributed on both sides of the central axis, so that the contact surface 102 is more firmly adsorbed to the electrical equipment 210.

[0055] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of each adsorption element 50 at the contact surface 102 is circular (see Figure 1). Figure 2 In other embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the adsorption members 50 distributed on both sides of the width direction Y on the contact surface 102 is set to be an elongated strip extending along the width direction Y, or the cross-sectional shape of the adsorption members 50 distributed on both sides of the length direction X on the contact surface 102 is set to be an elongated strip extending along the length direction X, so as to increase the effective area of ​​the magnetic attraction force and to more firmly adsorb the contact surface 102 to the electrical device 210.

[0056] In some embodiments, the number of adsorption elements 50 is two (see Figure 1). Figure 2 In other embodiments, the number of adsorption elements 50 can be three, four, five, or even more. The following description pertains to the case of two adsorption elements 50.

[0057] The adsorption element 50 is a magnet, and the magnetic poles of the adsorption elements 50 distributed on one side of the width direction Y are different from those distributed on the other side of the width direction Y. Connector A is connected to the electrical device 210 by magnetic force, facilitating quick connection and disconnection of the data cable 100 and the electrical device 210, making operation simple and fast. The different magnetic poles of the magnets at both ends of the contact surface 102 ensure that connector A can only be stably adsorbed with the electrical device 210 in one correct orientation, effectively preventing assembly errors or damage to the conductive terminals 40 due to incorrect connector A orientation. For example, the opposite sides of the width direction Y are defined as the left and right sides. When the left adsorption element 50 is the cathode, the right adsorption element 50 is set as the anode to prevent connector A from being installed backwards during the connection process with the electrical device 210.

[0058] In some embodiments, the adsorption element 50 may be a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.

[0059] When the adsorption component 50 is a permanent magnet, without external force, the magnet can magnetically attract the mating component, causing the contact surface 102 to abut against the electrical device 210, thereby stably connecting the conductive terminal 40 to the connector 2101. Applying external force to the connector A can quickly separate the contact surface 102 from the electrical device 210, allowing the conductive terminal 40 to be pulled out of the connector 2101. When the adsorption component 50 is an electromagnet, the adsorption component 50 magnetically engages with the mating component when the data cable 100 is powered on. When the data cable 100 is disconnected from the power supply, the magnetic attraction between the adsorption component 50 and the mating component disappears, making it easier to pull out the conductive terminal 40 connected to the connector 2101.

[0060] Understandably, the mating part is a magnet, and the corresponding adsorption part 50 and the mating part can magnetically attract each other.

[0061] Please combine Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the abutment surface 102 is provided with a clearance groove 103, which is configured to accommodate and fix the adsorption member 50. The abutment surface 102 provides installation space for the adsorption member 50 by accommodating and fixing the adsorption member 50 with the clearance groove 103.

[0062] For example, an adhesive or other adhesive can be provided inside the recess 103 to bond and fix the adsorption member 50 within the recess 103. Alternatively, the adsorption member 50 can also be snapped and fixed within the recess 103.

[0063] Understandably, when electrical equipment 210 is used to horizontally install in the area abutting the contact surface 102 (see...) Figure 5 The surface of the adsorption element 50 is flush with the contact surface 102 (see reference). Figure 4 This increases the contact area between the contact surface 102 and the electrical equipment 210 when the adsorption component 50 and the mating component are magnetically engaged, making the connection between the contact surface 102 and the electrical equipment 210 stable and less prone to relative sliding and misalignment.

[0064] When the area of ​​the electrical device 210 with the mating part protrudes from the outer surface of the electrical device 210, the surface of the adsorption member 50 can be recessed into the abutment surface 102. When the adsorption member 50 and the mating part are magnetically engaged, the protruding part of the electrical device 210 can extend into the recessed part of the adsorption member 50 in the abutment surface 102. When the area of ​​the electrical device 210 with the mating part is recessed from the outer surface of the electrical device 210, the surface of the adsorption member 50 can protrude from the abutment surface 102. When the adsorption member 50 and the mating part are magnetically engaged, the protruding part of the adsorption member 50 protruding from the abutment surface 102 can extend into the recessed part of the surface of the electrical device 210. This allows the electrical device 210 and the abutment surface 102 to both magnetically engage and interlock, forming a mechanically limiting structure to prevent relative displacement.

[0065] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the outer casing 10 includes a flexible shell 11 and a cover 12. The flexible shell 11 has a cavity 1101 and a first groove 1102, the cavity 1101 communicating with the first groove 1102 and accommodating the wire 30. The cover 12 is at least partially fixed to the first groove 1102 to connect with the flexible shell 11 to form a receiving cavity 101, and the first groove 1102 can be used to position the cover 12 to prevent the cover 12 from shifting relative to the flexible shell 11. The abutment surface 102 is located on the side of the cover 12 facing away from the first groove 1102.

[0066] The cover 12 is made of plastic alloy, which has good strength and rigidity, as well as good heat resistance. The cover 12 can provide rigid support for the connector A part of the data cable 100 and protect the conductive terminal 40.

[0067] The flexible shell 11 is made of thermoplastic elastomer, which has good resilience, fatigue resistance, and electrical insulation. It has a rubber-like feel and is made of safe and environmentally friendly materials. The flexible shell 10 can protect the cable 30 and the circuit board 20, and can support the bending and folding of the cable 30 for storage, thereby improving the user experience and extending the lifespan of the data cable 100.

[0068] The circuit board 20 and conductive terminals 40 are mounted on the cover 12. Then, the flexible shell 11 is injection molded onto the outer periphery of the cable 30, part of the interface module C, and part of the cover 12, facilitating the assembly and molding of the data cable 100. Alternatively, the flexible shell 11 can be injection molded onto the outer periphery of the cable 30 and part of the interface module C, and then the cover 12 with the circuit board 20 and conductive terminals 40 mounted can be connected to the first groove 1102. Finally, the cover 12 and the flexible shell 11 are connected by hot melt encapsulation.

[0069] Please see Figure 4In some embodiments, a first retaining ring 121 surrounds the side surface of the cover 12. A second retaining ring 111 surrounds the inner wall of the first groove 1102, and the second retaining ring 111 is located at the opening of the first groove 1102. When the cover 12 is connected to the flexible shell 11, the first retaining ring 121 is located in the first groove 1102; the second retaining ring 111 abuts against the side of the first retaining ring 121 near the opening.

[0070] When the cover 12 is connected to the flexible shell 11, the side surface of the first retaining ring 121 and the side surface of the circuit board 20 abut against the inner wall of the first groove 1102 to make full use of the horizontal space of the first groove 1102, position the first retaining ring 121 and the circuit board 20 in the horizontal position within the first groove 1102, and prevent the first retaining ring 121 and the circuit board 20 from shifting horizontally within the first groove 1102.

[0071] The second retaining ring 111 abuts against the side of the first retaining ring 121 facing the groove to stop the first retaining ring 121 from moving toward the groove, thereby confining the first retaining ring 121 within the first groove 1102 and preventing the cover 12 from moving upward and detaching from the soft shell 11.

[0072] Please see Figure 3 On one side of the soft shell 11, in the area corresponding to the cavity 1101, there is an anti-slip texture 112. The anti-slip texture 112 can increase friction to improve the user experience. The anti-slip texture 112 consists of multiple dot-shaped protrusions distributed at intervals.

[0073] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cover 12 has a first mating surface 1201, and the first mating surface 1201 has a second groove 1202. The first mating surface 1201 is configured to abut against the surface of the circuit board 20, and the first mating surface 1201 abuts against the circuit board 20 to the bottom of the first groove 1102 to position the circuit board 20 and limit the up-and-down movement of the circuit board 20. The second groove 1202 is configured to accommodate the conductive terminal 40, and the bottom of the second groove 1202 has a through hole 1203, which is configured to accommodate the contact end 41 of the conductive terminal 40 extending out of the abutment surface 102.

[0074] The second groove 1202 avoids and accommodates the portion of the conductive terminal 40 to protect the conductive terminal 40. The through hole 1203 can accommodate the contact end 41 extending out of the abutment surface 102, so that the contact end 41 of the conductive terminal 40 can be inserted into the plug interface 2101.

[0075] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the circuit board 20 is provided with a positioning hole 201, which can accommodate the conductive terminal 40 to position the conductive terminal 40 relative to the circuit board 20.
