Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of data cable technology, and specifically relates to a data cable with a rotatable connector. Background Technology

[0002] Data cables are flexible cables made of copper core conductors and insulation layers. They have USB, Type-C, Lightning connectors at both ends and are used for power and signal transmission between devices. They support fast charging and high-speed data synchronization. The outer layer is often braided or TPE, making them resistant to bending and durable. The length is generally 0.2-2 m.

[0003] Most data cable connectors on the market are currently of a fixed structure. While right-angled data cables can alleviate stress concentration during plugging and unplugging to some extent, their angle is fixed and cannot be flexibly adjusted to a straight or other angles depending on the usage scenario. Similarly, straight data cables cannot be converted into a right-angled form. This structure limits the applicability of data cables in different spatial environments. Especially in situations with compact device layouts or special interface locations, users often experience inconvenience, excessive bending, or even damage to the cable because the connector cannot be turned. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a data cable with a freely adjustable connector angle to improve applicability and durability.

[0004] This invention attempts to solve or at least alleviate the problem of data cables being unable to flexibly adjust their angle by providing a data cable with a rotatable connector. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of one or more of the above-mentioned defects or improvement needs of the prior art, the present invention provides a data cable with a rotatable connector, which has the advantage of being able to rotate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a data cable with a rotatable connector, comprising: an output end, an input end, and a connector end connecting the output end and the input end;

[0007] The output end includes an output connector, and a fixed sleeve and a movable sleeve of the same diameter are sequentially arranged between the output connector and the connection end;

[0008] The fixed sleeve has an arc-shaped slot on its bottom surface, and a limiting slide with a size larger than the arc-shaped slot is provided immediately connected to the arc-shaped slot. The movable sleeve has an arc-shaped insert on its top surface, and an arc-shaped baffle on its top surface. The arc-shaped insert is the same size as the arc-shaped slot, and the arc-shaped baffle is the same size as the limiting slide. When the movable sleeve is rotated, the arc-shaped insert can slide in the arc-shaped slot without falling off.

[0009] The connecting end is installed at the rear end of the movable sleeve, and the transmission line in the connecting end passes through the fixed sleeve and the movable sleeve and then connects to the output connector.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the output connector is provided with an adapter at the front end, and connecting blocks are fixed on both sides of the adapter. A first slide is provided on one side of each connecting block, and a fixing block is provided on the side of the output connector. The fixing block can slide in the first slide.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a limiting block is provided at the top of the fixing block, and a second slide is provided at the top of the first slide, and the limiting block can slide in the second slide.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, mounting blocks are provided on both opposite sides of the connecting block, and insertion rods are provided on the mounting blocks. Top stops are provided on the top of the insertion rods. Two limiting holes are provided on the output connector on the same side as the fixing block, and the insertion rods can be inserted into the limiting holes.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, a middle stop block is provided in the middle of the insertion rod. The middle stop block is located below the mounting block, and the top stop block and the middle stop block can prevent the insertion rod from detaching from the mounting block.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the tops of the two top blocks are connected by a connecting rod.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model, the movable sleeve is made of silicone, and the arc-shaped insert, arc-shaped baffle, and fixed sleeve are all made of hard plastic.

[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of the above-described technical solutions conceived by this utility model compared with the prior art include:

[0017] This utility model provides a data cable with a rotatable connector. Through an innovative combination of a fixed sleeve and a movable sleeve, the connector angle can be flexibly adjusted. The arc-shaped slot and plug design allow the movable sleeve to rotate smoothly relative to the fixed sleeve without falling off, effectively solving the problems of fixed angle and curling under torsional force in traditional data cable connectors. The sliding engagement mechanism between the adapter and the connecting block, combined with the locking structure of the plug rod and the limiting hole, allows the data cable to freely switch between straight and bent modes and be stably fixed at the desired angle, expanding its application range. The combination of the flexible movable sleeve material and the rigid transmission components ensures both the flexibility of rotation and significantly improves bending resistance and overall structural durability. This design greatly expands the adaptability of the data cable in different usage environments, effectively avoiding damage caused by excessive bending of the cable. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, easy to operate, and significantly improves user experience and product practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The terms “comprising,” “including,” etc., as used herein indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, or components.

[0033] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art, unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the context of this specification, and not in an idealized or overly rigid way.

[0034] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-7 A data cable with a rotatable connector is provided, comprising: an output terminal 1, an input terminal 3, and a connector 2 connecting the output terminal 1 and the input terminal 3;

[0035] The output end 1 includes an output connector 11. A fixed sleeve 13 and a movable sleeve 14 of the same diameter are sequentially arranged between the output connector 11 and the connection end 2. The bottom surface of the fixed sleeve 13 has an arc-shaped slot 131. A limiting slide 132 with a size larger than the arc-shaped slot 131 is provided immediately connected to the arc-shaped slot 131. The top surface of the movable sleeve 14 has an arc-shaped insert 141. The top surface of the arc-shaped insert 141 has an arc-shaped baffle 142. The arc-shaped insert 141 is the same size as the arc-shaped slot 131. The arc-shaped baffle 142 is the same size as the limiting slide 132. When the movable sleeve 14 is rotated, the arc-shaped insert 141 can slide in the arc-shaped slot 131 without falling off. The rear end of the movable sleeve 14 is equipped with a connection end 2. The transmission line 21 in the connection end 2 passes through the fixed sleeve 13 and the movable sleeve 14 and is connected to the output connector 11.

[0036] When using this utility model to charge or transmit data while also using a mobile phone, the arc-shaped plug 141 can slide in the arc-shaped slot 131, and the movable sleeve 14 can rotate slightly under the drive of the connecting end 2. This avoids the connection end 2 from being fixed at both ends and twisting, which would cause damage to the connection with the output end 1 and extend its service life.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an adapter 12 is provided at the front end of the output connector 11. Connecting blocks 15 are fixedly provided on both sides of the adapter 12. A first slide rail 155 is provided on one side of each connecting block 15. A fixing block 112 is provided on the side of the output connector 11, and the fixing block 112 can slide within the first slide rail 155. The adapter 12 is located in front of the output connector 11, and the adapter inlet 121 and adapter outlet 122 on the adapter 12 are set at a 90-degree angle. This arrangement ensures that the output end 1 can be converted into an elbow when using the adapter 12. The adapter 12 is existing technology and is also referred to as an extension head. When using adapter 12, simply insert the limiting hole 111 into the adapter inlet 121. At this time, the connecting block 15 moves toward the output connector 11, and the fixing block 112 slides to the bottom in the first slide rail 155. When not using adapter 12, unplug adapter 12, and the fixing block 112 slides to the top in the first slide rail 155. Then, rotate adapter 12 to one side.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a limiting block 113 is provided at the top of the fixing block 112, and a second slide rail 156 is provided at the top of the first slide rail 155. The limiting block 113 can slide within the second slide rail 156. By providing the limiting block 113 at the top of the fixing block 112, the limiting block 113 can completely prevent the connecting block 15 from falling off when sliding within the second slide rail 156, further ensuring the stability of the connecting block 15.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, mounting blocks 151 are provided on both opposite sides of the connecting block 15, and insertion rods 152 are inserted through each mounting block 151. Each insertion rod 152 has a top stop 153 at its top. Two limiting holes 111 are provided on the same side as the fixing block 112 on the output connector 11, and the insertion rods 152 can be inserted into the limiting holes 111. Inserting the insertion rods 152 into the limiting holes 111 ensures that the connecting block 15 does not shift, thus ensuring the stability of the connection after insertion, rather than relying solely on friction at the interface when using the adapter 12. The top stop 153 facilitates the removal of the insertion rods 152 when not in use.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a central stop 154 ​​is provided in the middle of the insertion rod 152. The central stop 154 ​​is located below the mounting block 151. The top stop 153 and the central stop 154 ​​prevent the insertion rod 152 from detaching from the mounting block 151. The central stop 154 ​​and the top stop 153 limit the insertion rod 152 on the mounting block 151 to prevent it from falling off.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the two top stops 153 are connected at their tops by a connecting rod 157. When it is necessary to pull out the insert 152, it is easier to pull it out simultaneously by simply holding the connecting rod 157.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the movable sleeve 14 is made of silicone, while the arc-shaped insert 141, arc-shaped baffle 142, and fixed sleeve 13 are all made of hard plastic. The hard plastic facilitates the flexible rotation of the movable sleeve 14, and the silicone material of the movable sleeve 14 allows for flexible contact with the connecting end 2.

[0043] Working principle: The output connector 11 is connected to the adapter 12 via the connecting block 15. The connecting block 15 is provided with a first slide rail 155 and a second slide rail 156. The fixing block 112 and the limiting block 113 on the side of the output connector 11 can slide along the slide rails. When the connecting block 15 moves the adapter 12 away from the output connector 11 and disengages from the output connector 11, it changes to a straight head. When the connecting block 15 moves the adapter 12 closer to the output connector 11 and inserts it into the output connector 11, it changes to a bent head, thereby achieving angle adjustment. The insertion rod 152 can be inserted into the limiting hole 111 to fix the angle, making the adapter 12 more stable after insertion. The movable sleeve 14 cooperates with the arc-shaped insertion block 141 and arc-shaped baffle 142 at the top with the arc-shaped slot 131 and limiting slide rail 132 at the bottom of the fixed sleeve 13, allowing the movable sleeve 14 to rotate slightly relative to the fixed sleeve 13 without falling off. The transmission line 21 passes through the fixed sleeve 13 and the movable sleeve 14 and connects to the output connector 11, realizing the unification of signal transmission and mechanical steering.

[0044] In summary, this utility model provides a data cable with a rotatable connector. Through an innovative combination of a fixed sleeve and a movable sleeve, the angle of the connector can be flexibly adjusted. The arc-shaped slot and plug design allow the movable sleeve to rotate smoothly relative to the fixed sleeve without falling off, effectively solving the problem of fixed angle and curling under torsional force in traditional data cable connectors. The sliding engagement mechanism between the adapter and the connecting block, combined with the locking structure of the plug rod and the limiting hole, allows the data cable to freely switch between straight and bent modes and can be stably fixed at the required angle, expanding its application range. The combination of the flexible movable sleeve material and the rigid transmission components ensures both the flexibility of rotation and significantly improves the bending resistance and overall structural durability. This design greatly expands the adaptability of the data cable in different usage environments, effectively avoiding damage caused by excessive bending of the cable. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, easy to operate, and significantly improves the user experience and product practicality.
