Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display screen technology, and in particular to a data connection cable and a data device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of LED display technology, data cables are used to transmit control signals and display data, and are an important component connecting the control card and the LED display module. However, some existing data cables have weak connections to external devices, leading to reduced data transmission speeds and potentially causing problems such as reduced charging efficiency and device recognition failures, severely impacting the user experience. A key characteristic is that when the data cable is accidentally pulled by external force, its connection to the control card easily becomes loose, resulting in signal transmission interruption. Utility Model Content

[0003] One objective of this invention is to solve the technical problem of unstable connection between the data connection cable and the control card or LED display module, and to provide a data connection cable that is stable, strong, and not easily loosened.

[0004] Another objective of this invention is to provide a data device including the aforementioned data connection line.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A data cable for plugging into a connection device to form an electrical connection, comprising: Line body, A connector includes a housing, a connector, and a snap-fit ​​structure. The connector and the wire are respectively disposed on different sides of the housing. The connector can pass through a connection hole on the connecting device to be inserted into a socket in the connecting device, thereby forming an electrical connection between the connector and the connecting device. The snap-fit ​​structure includes an elastic part and a crimping part. One end of the elastic part is connected to the housing, and the other end extends outward beyond the end face of the housing. The crimping part is disposed on the end of the elastic part that extends outward beyond the housing. The elastic part is elastic, and when an external force is applied to the crimping part, the elastic part can undergo elastic deformation, so that the crimping part can be relatively close to the housing and can be inserted into the connecting device through the connecting hole; when the external force is released, the elastic part returns to its original deformation, so that the crimping part is relatively far away from the housing and can abut against the inner wall of the connecting device, so that the snap-fit ​​structure is snapped and fixed on the connecting device.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the elastic portion includes a straight section and an arc-shaped section. One end of the straight section is disposed on the housing, and the other end is provided with the arc-shaped section. The pressing portion is disposed on the arc-shaped section and is disposed at an angle to the straight section. When an external force is applied to the pressing portion, elastic deformation can occur between the arc-shaped section and the straight section.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the crimping portion includes a body and an extension, the body being connected to the arcuate segment, the extension being connected to the end of the body away from the arcuate segment, and the width of the extension being smaller than the width of the body.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the crimping portion includes reinforcing ribs that protrude from the surface of the extension section opposite to the straight section.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the body includes a connecting segment and a protrusion. The connecting segment connects the arcuate segment and the extension segment to opposite sides, respectively. The protrusion is disposed on the end of the connecting segment away from the arcuate segment, and the surface of the protrusion forms an abutment surface with the end face of the connecting segment away from the arcuate segment.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the housing and the snap-fit ​​structure are integrally formed.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the two ends of the line are respectively provided with the connectors, wherein the orientation of the connector in one connector is set at an angle to the orientation of the connector in the other connector.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the connector is a reversible pluggable connector.

[0013] A data device includes a connection means and a data connection cable as described above, the connection means comprising: The base has a connection hole, and the outline of at least a portion of the edge of the connection hole is convex. The snap-fit ​​structure in the data connection cable can be snapped and fixed to the base through the connection hole. A circuit board is disposed inside the base; A socket is located inside the base and is electrically connected to the circuit board. The socket corresponds to the connection hole so that the connector in the data cable can be inserted into the socket through the connection hole to form an electrical connection.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the connection hole includes a first hole area and a second hole area, the edge contour of the first hole area is convex, the edge contour of the second hole area is convex, and the first hole area and the second hole area are mirror symmetrical along the center line of the socket.

[0015] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model has at least the following advantages and positive effects: This utility model discloses a data connection cable, comprising a cable body and a connector. The connector includes a housing, a plug, and a snap-fit ​​structure. The plug and the cable body are respectively disposed on different sides of the housing. The plug can pass through a connection hole on a connecting device to be inserted into a socket in the connecting device, thereby forming an electrical connection between the connector and the connecting device. The snap-fit ​​structure includes an elastic part and a crimping part. One end of the elastic part is connected to the housing, and the other end extends beyond the end face of the housing. The crimping part is disposed on the end of the elastic part that extends beyond the housing.

[0016] The elastic part is elastic; when an external force is applied to the crimping part, it undergoes elastic deformation, allowing the crimping part to approach the housing and extend into the connecting device through the connection hole. When the external force is released, the elastic part returns to its original shape, moving the crimping part away from the housing and abutting against the inner wall of the connecting device. This allows the snap-fit ​​structure to lock firmly onto the connecting device, making the connection between the data cable and the connecting device more secure and reliable. Even if the data cable is accidentally pulled by an external force, the side wall of the connecting device prevents the crimping part from detaching, thus ensuring that the connection between the connector and the socket remains unaffected and guaranteeing stable signal transmission.

[0032] Typical embodiments embodying the features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that this utility model can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of this utility model, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit this utility model.

[0033] In the description of this application, it should be understood that, in the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, the indications of direction or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, etc.) are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. These descriptions are appropriate when these elements are in the positions shown in the accompanying drawings. If the description of the positions of these elements changes, these directional indications also change accordingly.

[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a data connection cable 100, including a cable body 1 and a connector 2. One end of the cable body 1 is connected to the connector 2, and the connector 2 can be plugged into an external connection device to form an electrical connection.

[0036] Specifically, the connector 2 includes a housing 21 and a connector 22. The connector 22 extends beyond the surface of the housing 21 and is capable of passing through a connection hole on the connecting device to be fitted into a socket in the connecting device, thereby forming an electrical connection between the connector and the connecting device.

[0037] See Figure 2 The housing 21 has a wire 1 and a connector 22 on different sides to protect the wire 1 and prevent wear caused by bending of the wire 1 when the connector 22 is plugged into the socket 5 to avoid interference with the connecting device 200. For ease of description, the side of the housing 21 with the wire 1 is defined as the first side 211, and the side of the housing 21 with the connector 22 is defined as the second side 212.

[0038] For example, the outer contour of the housing 21 can be rectangular. The first side 211 and the second side 212 can be arranged opposite to each other; for example, the first side 211 is... Figure 2 On the left side of the casing 21 shown, the second side 212 is Figure 2The right side surface of the housing 21 shown. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first side surface 211 and the second side surface 212 can be arranged adjacent to each other; for example, the first side surface 211 is... Figure 2 On the left side of the casing 21 shown, the second side 212 is Figure 2 On the bottom side surface of the housing 21 shown; or, the first side surface 211 is Figure 2 On the left side of the casing 21 shown, the second side 212 is Figure 2 The front side shown is above.

[0039] In other embodiments, the housing 21 can also be configured as other irregular structures. For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 21 includes a main body 213 and a bent portion 214, which are arranged at an angle. The wire 1 is connected to the main body 213, and the connector 22 is provided on the end of the bent portion 214 away from the main body 213. For example, the angle between the main body 213 and the bent portion 214 can be 90 degrees.

[0040] For ease of description, the configuration where the wire 1 and connector 22 are respectively located on opposite sides of the housing 21 in the connector 2 is defined as a straight connector. Alternatively, the configuration where the wire 1 and connector 22 are respectively located on adjacent sides of the housing 21 in the connector 2, or the connector 2 as... Figure 3 The structural form shown is defined as a bent connector.

[0041] In a data connection cable 100, at least one connector 2 may be provided at each end of the cable body 1. The number ratio of the connectors 2 at each end of the cable body 1 can be one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many.

[0042] Specifically, each end of the line body 1 can be provided with a connector 2.

[0043] Alternatively, one end of the cable body 1 may have a connector 2, and the other end may have multiple connectors 2. In this case, the cable body 1 may include a main cable body, an adapter section, and multiple branch cables, with the adapter section located at both ends of the main cable body. Each branch cable is connected to the main cable body through the adapter section, and each branch cable has a corresponding connector 2.

[0044] Alternatively, one end of the cable body 1 can have multiple connectors 2, and the other end can also have multiple connectors 2. In this case, the cable body 1 can include a main cable body, two adapter sections, and multiple branch wires. The two adapter sections are respectively located at both ends of the cable body 1. Each adapter section is also connected to multiple branch wires, and each branch wire is equipped with a connector. It should be noted that the multiple connectors 2 at both ends of the cable body 1 can be set to an equal number or an unequal number, depending on the actual needs.

[0045] This embodiment uses a cable 1 with a connector at both ends as an example. In this case, each connector 2 is connected to an external electronic device, so that two different electronic devices can transmit signals and / or power through the data connection cable 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, the orientation of the connector 2 in one connector 2 and the orientation of the connector 22 in the other connector 2 can be set at an angle, such as... Figure 1 As shown, one connector 2 can be a straight connector, and the other connector 2 can be an angled connector. Alternatively, as... Figure 4 As shown, among the connectors 2 connected to both ends of the cable 1, both connectors 2 can be straight connectors. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of this application, both connectors 2 in a data connection cable 100 can be bent connectors. It is understood that when a data connection cable 100 has multiple connectors 2 at one end of the cable 1, the multiple connectors 2 can all be straight connectors or bent connectors, or some can be straight connectors and some can be bent connectors.

[0047] It should be noted that the elbow-type connector is particularly suitable for application scenarios where the cable 1 has to be bent due to the influence of the external environment and the use of a straight connector. Switching to an elbow-type connector can effectively extend the service life of the cable 1 and prevent the cable 1 from breaking or wearing out due to prolonged bending.

[0048] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, the surface of the housing 21 may be provided with anti-slip portions 215 to increase the friction when the operator grips the housing 21, making it easier to plug and unplug the data connection cable 100. Exemplarily, the anti-slip portions 215 are multiple spaced-apart ribs. In other embodiments, the anti-slip portions 215 may also be provided in other forms, such as grooves recessed into the surface of the main body; or other protrusions provided on the surface of the main body, including patterns of any shape and style.

[0049] The connector 22 can be a Type-A connector, Type-B connector, Type-C connector, HDMI connector, DisplayPort connector, etc., and can be set according to actual needs, without limitation here. Furthermore, the connectors 22 at both ends of the cable 1 can be of the same type or different types. It is understood that when a data cable 100 has multiple connectors 2 at one end of the cable 1, the types of connectors 22 among the multiple connectors 2 can be the same or different, depending on actual needs.

[0050] Preferably, connector 22 is a reversible plug-in connector, allowing operators to quickly connect the data cable 2 to an external device without needing to pay attention to the orientation of connector 22. For example, the reversible plug-in connector is a Type-C connector. The Type-C connector 100 integrates current and signal transmission, enabling simultaneous power supply and signal transmission. This effectively simplifies the wiring between two electronic devices, requiring only one data cable 100 for each device, making operation convenient without the need for separate connections of the power supply line and the signal transmission line.

[0051] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 This embodiment uses a Type-C connector (22) as an example for explanation. It can be understood that the Type-C connector is elliptical in shape, with semicircular ends and parallel sides. For ease of description, the parallel sides of the Type-C connector are defined as parallel side 221.

[0052] In some embodiments, the Type-C connector can be arranged laterally, that is, the length extension direction of the parallel side 221 of the Type-C connector is parallel to that of the parallel side 221. Figure 7 The width direction of the housing 21 shown is the same. Alternatively, the Type-C connector can be arranged vertically, that is, the length extension direction of the parallel side 221 of the Type-C connector is the same as that of the housing 21. Figure 7 The thickness direction of the shell 21 shown is the same.

[0053] See Figure 6 The data connection cable 100 includes a snap-fit ​​structure 23. The snap-fit ​​structure 23 is disposed on the housing 21. When the connector 22 is inserted into the socket 5 on the connecting device 200, the snap-fit ​​structure 23 snaps into and fixes the connecting device 200, thereby enhancing the connection stability and reliability between the data connection cable 100 and the connecting device 200, and facilitating stable data transmission.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing 21 and the snap-fit ​​structure 23 are integrally molded. Compared to detachable connections such as screws, snaps, or adhesives, this method eliminates the risks of loose screws, broken snaps, or aging adhesives, thus providing higher reliability. For example, the housing 21 can be a plastic housing 21, and the snap-fit ​​structure 23 can be a plastic snap-fit. This allows the housing 21 and snap-fit ​​structure 23 to be manufactured in one step using injection molding, reducing the assembly steps between them.

[0055] The snap-fit ​​structure 23 can be disposed on the same side of the housing 21 where the connector 22 is located, that is, the snap-fit ​​structure 23 is disposed on the second side 212. Or, see Figure 7In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​structure 23 can be disposed on the side surface adjacent to the second side surface 212. Compared with the arrangement where the snap-fit ​​structure 23 and the connector 22 are disposed on the same side of the housing 21, the snap-fit ​​structure 23 and the housing 21 can increase the contact area between the snap-fit ​​structure 23 and the housing 21, thereby improving the connection strength between the snap-fit ​​structure 23 and the housing 21.

[0056] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The snap-fit ​​structure 23 includes an elastic portion 231 and a crimping portion 232. One end of the elastic portion 231 is disposed on the housing 21, and the other end extends outward beyond the end face of the housing 21. The crimping portion 232 is disposed on the end of the elastic portion 231 that extends beyond the housing 21. The elastic portion 231 is elastic; when an external force is applied to the crimping portion 232, the elastic portion 231 can undergo elastic deformation, allowing the crimping portion 232 to approach the housing 21 and extend into the interior of the connecting device 200 through the connecting hole 33. When the external force is released, the elastic portion 231 returns to its original deformation, allowing the crimping portion 232 to move away from the housing 21 and abut against the inner wall of the connecting device 200, thereby snapping the snap-fit ​​structure 23 onto the connecting device 200.

[0057] In some embodiments, the elastic portion 231 includes a straight section 2311 and an arc-shaped section 2312. One end of the straight section 2311 is disposed on the housing 21. Exemplarily, the straight section 2311 includes an arc-shaped transition surface 2311a, located on the back side of the junction between the straight section 2311 and the housing 21. This transition surface 2311a evenly distributes stress, preventing stress concentration and cracking, thereby improving the connection stability and durability between the straight section 2311 and the housing 21. Furthermore, the transition surface 2311a makes the end of the straight section 2311 approximately arched, providing better bending resistance, thus enhancing the structural strength of the straight section 2311 and reducing the possibility of deformation or vibration.

[0058] A straight section 2311 is spaced apart from the connector 22. The straight section 2311 extends in the same direction as the housing 21 toward the connector 22, and extends beyond the end face of the housing 21. An arc-shaped section 2312 is provided at the end of the straight section 2311 that extends beyond the surface of the housing 21. The cross-section of the arc-shaped section 2312 is approximately inverted C-shaped, with its two ends on the same side by a fold in the middle. The arc-shaped section 2312 is connected to the crimping part 232, and the crimping part 232 is located on the side of the straight section 2311 away from the connector 22.

[0059] Furthermore, the crimping portion 232 is set at an angle to the straight section 2311. And the arc-shaped section 2312 is elastic, so when an external force is applied to the crimping portion 232, elastic deformation can occur between the arc-shaped section 2312 and the straight section 2311.

[0060] In some embodiments, the crimping portion 232 includes a body 2321 and an extension 2322. The body 2321 is connected to the arc-shaped segment 2312, and the extension 2322 is connected to the end of the body 2321 opposite to the arc-shaped segment 2312. The width of the body 2321 can be the same as the width of the arc-shaped segment 2312 to ensure a stable connection between the body 2321 and the arc-shaped segment 2312.

[0061] See Figure 8 In some embodiments, the body 2321 includes a connecting segment 2321a and a protrusion 2321b. An arcuate segment 2312 and an extension segment 2322 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the connecting segment 2321a, and the protrusion 2321b is disposed on the end of the connecting segment 2321a away from the arcuate segment 2312. The surface of the protrusion 2321b forms an abutment surface 2321c with the end face of the connecting segment 2321a away from the arcuate segment 2312. The protrusion 2321b increases the contact area between the body 2321 and the inner wall of the connecting device 200, thereby helping to improve the connection stability between the snap-fit ​​structure 23 and the connecting device.

[0062] See also Figure 8 The width of the extension section 2322 is smaller than the width of the main body 2321. When the snap-fit ​​structure 23 in the data connection cable 100 is snapped and fixed on the connection device, the extension section 2322 can abut against the wall of the hole corresponding to the connection hole 33 on the connection device 200.

[0063] When disconnecting the data cable 100 from the connecting device, the user presses the extension section 2322 with their thumb, causing the extension section 2322 to move closer to the straight section 2311 away from the surface of the connector 22. At the same time, the main body 2321 and the arc-shaped section 2312 connected to the main body 2321 deform along with the extension section 2322. After the external force is released, the arc-shaped section 2312, the main body 2321, and the extension section 2322 can return to their original shape by utilizing the elasticity of the arc-shaped section 2312.

[0064] In some embodiments, the end of the extension 2322 that is away from the body 2321 may be rounded to improve user comfort and avoid scratching the user's skin.

[0065] In some embodiments, the crimping portion 232 may include at least one rib 2323, which protrudes from the extension section 2322 to increase friction and improve user ease of operation. Exemplarily, three ribs 2323 are provided, spaced apart along the length of the extension section 2322. It should be noted that the protruding ribs 2323 also help to enhance the structural strength of the extension section 2322, preventing breakage of the extension section 2322 during crimping.

[0066] In some embodiments, the crimping portion 232 may include a reinforcing rib 2324, which protrudes from the surface of the extension section 2322 opposite to the straight section 2311. The length direction of the reinforcing rib 2324 is the same as the length direction of the extension section 2322, so that the extension section 2322 can withstand greater longitudinal pressure and constrains the movement path of the extension section 2322, ensuring that it rotates around the fold of the arc section 2312, and preventing only the extension section 2322 from deforming while the arc section 2312 remains unaffected when crimped onto the extension section 2322. In addition, the setting of the reinforcing rib 2324 also enhances the structural strength of the extension section 2322, improves the bending resistance and fatigue life of the extension section 2322, and prevents the extension section 2322 from deforming or breaking under long-term reciprocating motion.

[0067] See Figure 8 In some embodiments, a guide surface 2324a may be provided on the end of the reinforcing rib 2324 near the body 2321. The guide surface 2324a is inclined from the surface of the reinforcing rib 2324 away from the extension section 2322 toward the surface of the body 2321. When the snap-fit ​​structure 23 is connected to the connecting device 200, the provision of the guide surface 2324a allows the crimping portion 232 in the snap-fit ​​structure 23 to smoothly and easily extend into the interior of the connecting device 200 until the body 2321 in the crimping portion 232 is completely located inside the connecting device 200.

[0068] See Figure 9 This application also provides a data device, which includes a connection device 200 and a data connection cable 100 as described above. The data device can be a display module, a control card, a power supply box, etc., and can be specifically configured according to actual needs.

[0069] In some embodiments, the connection device 200 includes a base 3. The data device includes a main housing 300. The connection device 200 may be disposed on the main housing 300 of the data device, or disposed inside the main housing 300; or the base 3 in the connection device 200 may be the main housing 300 itself (e.g., Figure 10 (As shown). This embodiment uses the example of the connection device 200 being installed on a data device for illustration.

[0070] See Figure 11 The connector includes a circuit board 4 and a socket 5. The circuit board 4 is disposed within the housing 3 to protect it. The socket 5 is disposed on the circuit board 4 and forms an electrical connection with it. The socket 5 is adapted to the connector 22 in the data cable 100 so that the connector 22 can be plugged into the socket 5 to form an electrical connection. Specifically, in this embodiment, the socket 5 is a Type-C socket with an oval-shaped interface.

[0071] In some embodiments, the base 3 may be formed by an upper cover 31 and a lower box 32. See also Figure 9 and Figure 11 , the lower box body 32 is provided with a connecting hole 33. The contour of at least a partial region of the edge of the connecting hole 33 is in a convex shape. The socket 5 corresponds to the connecting hole 33, so that the connector 22 in the data connection line 100 can pass through the connecting hole 33 and be plugged onto the lower box body 32 to form an electrical connection, and the buckle structure 23 can pass through the connecting hole 33 and be clamped and fixed on the lower box body 32.

[0072] Refer to Figure 12 , the connecting hole 33 includes a main body area 331 and a first hole position area 332. The main body area 331 is in communication with the first hole position area 332. The socket 5 corresponds to the main body area 331, so that the connector 22 in the data connection line 100 can pass through the main body area 331 and be plugged onto the socket 5. The edge contour of the first hole position area 332 is in a convex shape, and the buckle structure 23 in the data connection line 100 can pass through the first hole position area 332 and be clamped and fixed on the lower box body 32.

[0073] Specifically, the lower box body 32 includes a base body 321 and first flanges 322. The connecting hole 33 is provided on the base body 321. The first flanges 322 are connected to the base body 321 and are provided corresponding to the connecting hole 33. There are two first flanges 322. Wherein, the side edge of the first flange 322 corresponding to the connecting hole 33 is approximately " ", and the other first flange 322 is arranged symmetrically with this first flange 322. There is a spacing between the two first flanges 322. At this time, the side edges of the two first flanges 322 and the hole wall of the base body 3 corresponding to the connecting hole 33 together enclose an edge contour to form the first hole position area 332 with a "convex" shape. For convenience of description, the lower "mouth" of the "convex" character is defined as the first hole, and the upper "mouth" formed by the interval arrangement of the two first flanges 322 is defined as the second hole.

[0074] The spacing between the two first flanges 322 is not less than the width of the extending section 2322 in the buckle structure 23, and is set to be smaller than the width of the main body 2321 in the buckle structure 23. Therefore, when the buckle structure 23 in the data cable 100 passes through the first hole area 332, the lower edge of the first flange 322 is pressed against the surface of the main body 2321, causing deformation of the pressing portion 232 and the arc-shaped section 2312 in the elastic portion 231, so that the buckle structure 23 enters the interior of the connecting device 200 through the first hole until the main body 2321 of the pressing portion 232 is completely accommodated inside the connecting device 200, the first flange 322 releases the pressing on the main body 2321, and then under the elastic action of the arc-shaped section 2312 in the buckle structure 23, the extending section 2322 rebounds and is accommodated in the second hole. At this time, the abutting surface 2321a of the main body 2321 abuts against the inner side wall of the first flange 322. Therefore, even if the data cable 100 is accidentally pulled by an external force, the first flange 322 blocks the main body 2321 from detaching from the connecting device 200, thereby ensuring that the connection between the connector 22 and the socket 5 is not affected, and ensuring stable signal transmission.

[0075] It can be understood that the operation steps for releasing the connection between the buckle structure 23 and the connecting device 200 may be: the operator's thumb presses the extending section 2322 in the pressing portion 232, so that the extending section 2322, the main body 2321 and the arc-shaped section 2312 deform, the extending section 2322 moves from the second hole to the first hole, and the main body 2321 is disengaged from abutting with the first flange 322 and is accommodated in the first hole; then the operator's other fingers can hold the housing 21 to move the plug connector 2 toward the outside of the connecting device 200, at this time, the main body 2321 and the arc-shaped section 2312 in the pressing portion 232 can smoothly pass through the first hole and be located outside the connecting device 200.

[0076] See Figure 12 , in some embodiments, the lower box body 32 may include two second flanges 323. A side edge of one of the second flanges 323 is in a shape of " ", and its side edge is connected to a side edge of one first flange 322, such that the side edge jointly formed by the first flange 322 and the second flange 323 is approximately " ". The other second flange 323 is arranged symmetrically with said second flange 323. At this time, the first flange 322 and the two second flanges 323 together enclose the first hole area 332 whose edge contour is in a "convex" shape.

[0077] The spacing between the two second flanges 323 forms the above-mentioned first hole. In some embodiments, the spacing between the two second flanges 323 is adapted to the width of the arc-shaped section 2312 to ensure the tight connection between the buckle structure 23 and the connecting device 200.

[0078] In some embodiments, the connecting hole 33 includes a second hole area 333, which is connected to the main body area 331. The edge contour of the second hole area 333 is also convex, and the first hole area 332 and the second hole area 333 are mirror-symmetrical along the center line of the socket 5.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, utilizing the reversible pluggable characteristic of the Type-C connector and Type-C interface, the Type-C connector can be plugged into the socket 5 in the forward direction (e.g., Figure 13 (As shown), it can also be plugged into socket 5 in reverse (as shown). Figure 14 As shown in the diagram, this allows operators to quickly connect the data cable 100 to the connecting device 200 without needing to pay attention to the orientation of the connector 22. Therefore, by combining the simultaneous provision of a second port area 333 and a first port area 332, while enabling the Type-C connector to be inserted into the Type-C interface in either direction, corresponding port areas cooperate with the snap-fit ​​structure 23 in the data cable 100 to ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the data cable 100 and the connecting device 200, ensuring stable signal and data transmission.

[0080] See Figure 14 , Figure 14 The snap-fit ​​structure 23 in the data connection cable 100 shown is used to snap and fix it to the connection device 200 through the second hole area 333. It should be noted that the interval between the straight section 2311 in the snap-fit ​​structure 23 and the connector 22 is not less than the thickness of the circuit board 4 in the connection device 200.

[0081] It is understood that in some other embodiments of this application, the connector 1 in the data connection cable 100 may include two snap-fit ​​structures 23, which are respectively on opposite sides of the connector 22. While the plug 22 in the connector 1 is inserted into the socket 5, the two snap-fit ​​structures 23 can be snapped and fixed to the base 3 through the first hole area 332 and the second hole area 333, respectively.

[0082] The data cable 100 in this application enhances the connection stability between the data cable 100 and the connecting device 200 by setting a snap-fit ​​structure 23, thereby ensuring stable signal transmission. Furthermore, the data cable 100's connector 22 is a Type-C connector, and the connecting device 200's socket 5 is a Type-C interface, with the base 3 having a first hole area 332 and a second hole area 333. This allows the data cable 100 to be plugged into the connecting device 200 in either the forward or reverse direction, enabling a quick and stable connection between the data cable 100 and the data device, while simultaneously facilitating power and signal transmission.

[0083] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples of structures. The structures in each embodiment are not fixed combinations. In the absence of structural conflicts, the structures in multiple embodiments can be arbitrarily combined and used.

[0084] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terminology used is descriptive and exemplary, and not restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
