DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0041] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0042] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and may refer to, for example, an electrical connection, internal communication between two components, a direct connection, or an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above term according to the specific circumstances.
[0043] It should be noted that the terms "first / second / third" used in the embodiments of the present application are merely used to distinguish between similar objects and do not represent a particular order of the objects. It is understood that, where permitted, "first / second / third" can be used interchangeably to refer to a particular order or sequence. It is to be understood that objects distinguished by "first / second / third" can be used interchangeably under appropriate circumstances to allow the embodiments of the present application described herein to be implemented in an order other than that shown or described.
[0044] Hereinafter, a cable management device 100, a data cable device, and an ultra-thin, expandable data cable device according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0045] The cable storage device 100 includes a rotating part 110 and a cable 130. The cable 130 includes a fixed section 131 and a winding section 132. The fixed section 131 is fixed to the rotating part 110, and the winding section 132 can be wound around the outside of the fixed section 131.
[0046] In the related art, cables usually do not have a storage structure and are placed directly on a desk or in a bag, which often causes the cable to become tangled with other items on the desk or in the bag. When using the cable, the user must first untangle the cable from the tangled items, which results in a time-consuming operation and a poor user experience. In contrast, in the cable management device 100 of the present application, the cable 130 includes a fixed section 131 and a winding section 132, the fixed section 131 is fixed to the rotating part 110, and the winding section 132 can be wound around the outside of the fixed section 131. This prevents the cable 130 from becoming tangled with other components, saving the time required to untangle the cable 130 and significantly improving the user experience of the cable 130.
[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the manner in which the fixed stage 131 is fixed to the rotating component 110. For example, the fixed stage 131 can be fixed to the rotating component 110 by a fitting structure or adhesive.
[0048] In another example, the rotating part 110 includes a first seat portion 111 and a first connecting portion 112, the first seat portion 111 has a storage space 1113, the first connecting portion 112 is arranged in the storage space 1113 along the axial direction of the rotating part 110, the cable storage device 100 further includes a first strip-shaped part 120, the first strip-shaped part 120 is arranged in the storage space 1113 along the axial direction of the rotating part 110, a first gap is formed between the first strip-shaped part 120 and the first connecting portion 112, the cable 130 includes a fixed part 131, a first part 1311 of the fixed part 131 is engaged in the first gap, and a second part 1312 of the fixed part 131 is wound around the first strip-shaped part 120.
[0049] In some examples, the cable management device includes a rotating component and a cable. The rotating component typically has a fixed space and a winding space located outside the fixed space, with a portion of the cable fixed within the fixed space and another portion wound within the winding space. This requires a separate space for securing the cable, increasing the volume of the rotating component and increasing the installation space for the rotating component. On the other hand, by defining a first gap between the first strip-shaped component 120 and the first connecting portion 112, the first portion 1311 of the fixed section 131 can be locked into the first gap and the second portion 1312 of the fixed section 131 can be wound around the first strip-shaped component 120, allowing the fixed section 131 of the cable 130 to be fixed by the first strip-shaped component 120 and the first connecting portion 112. This eliminates the need for a separate wire-fixing space in the rotating component 110 for securing the fixed section 131, thereby reducing the installation space for the rotating component 110 and enabling the cable management device 100 to be more compact.
[0050] As shown in Figures 1 and 8, an embodiment of the present application further provides a data cable device, which includes a housing 200 and the cable storage device 100 of the embodiment of the present application, wherein the housing 200 has an accommodating cavity 210 and a second connecting portion 220 located in the accommodating cavity 210, and the rotating part 110 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 210, and the second connecting portion 220 is rotatably connected to the first connecting portion 112, thereby allowing the rotating part 110 to be rotatably connected to the first connecting portion 112 via the second connecting portion 220 and rotate within the accommodating cavity 210.
[0051] The housing 200 may further include two openings 230, each of which communicates with the receiving cavity 210, allowing the two free ends of the cable 130 to pass through the two openings 230 and be positioned outside the housing 200. The two openings 230 may be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the housing 200. As an example, the two openings 230 may be provided on opposite sides of the housing 200.
[0052] 3, the housing 200 may include an upper case 201 and a lower case 202, with an accommodating cavity 210 and two openings 230 formed between the upper case 201 and the lower case 202, a second connecting portion 220 connected to the upper case 201, and the second connecting portion 220 and the lower case 202 may be connected by screws, and the housing 200 may further include a cover 203, which is disposed to cover the side of the lower case 202 opposite to the upper case 201 and shields the connection area between the lower case 202 and the upper case 201, thereby making the overall appearance of the data cable device neater.
[0053] The manner in which the rotatable connection between the second connecting portion 220 and the first connecting portion 112 is realized is not particularly limited.
[0054] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 , the first connecting portion 112 has a through hole 1121 arranged along the axial direction of the rotating element 110, and the second connecting portion 220 is inserted into the through hole 1121, and the second connecting portion 220 is rotatable within the through hole 1121, thereby allowing the rotating element 110 to rotate within the accommodating cavity 210.
[0055] In another example, in some other implementations, the first connecting portion 112 has a first protruding post arranged along the axial direction of the rotating part 110, the second connecting portion 220 includes a groove, the first protruding post is inserted into the groove, and the first protruding post is rotatable within the groove, thereby allowing the rotating part 110 to rotate within the accommodating cavity 210.
[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the structure of the first seat portion 111 of the rotating part 110 .
[0057] For example, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the first seat portion 111 has a first plate portion 1111 and a second plate portion 1112 spaced apart in the axial direction of the rotating part 110, and a storage space 1113 is formed between the first plate portion 1111 and the second plate portion 1112. The first connection portion 112 is connected to the first plate portion 1111 and the second plate portion 1112, respectively, and the first strip-shaped part 120 is connected to the first plate portion 1111 and the second plate portion 1112, respectively. This allows the cable 130 to be stored between the first plate portion 1111 and the second plate portion 1112, preventing wear on the cable 130. Furthermore, the plate-shaped structure reduces the weight of the first seat portion 111, making the rotating part 110 lighter and thinner.
[0058] Here, the first plate portion 1111, the second plate portion 1112, and the first connecting portion 112 may be different parts of the same structural component. Of course, the first plate portion 1111, the second plate portion 1112, and the first connecting portion 112 may also be different structural components, in which case the first plate portion 1111, the second plate portion 1112, and the first connecting portion 112 may be connected by welding, adhesive, or other methods.
[0059] Here, the first strip-shaped part 120 can be connected to the first plate part 1111 and the second plate part 1112 by means of close fitting, welding, or adhesive, respectively.
[0060] Here, there is no particular limitation on the shape of first plate portion 1111. For example, first plate portion 1111 may have a disk-like structure, and in this case, the axis of first plate portion 1111 may be the rotation axis of rotating component 110.
[0061] Here, there are no particular limitations on the shape of second plate portion 1112. For example, second plate portion 1112 may have a disk-like structure, and in this case, the axis of second plate portion 1112 may be the rotation axis of rotating component 110.
[0062] Both the second plate portion 1112 and the first plate portion 1111 may have a disk-shaped structure, and the diameter of the second plate portion 1112 may be the same as or approximately the same as the diameter of the first plate portion 1111. Of course, the diameter of the second plate portion 1112 may be different from the diameter of the first plate portion 1111.
[0063] Of course, in some other embodiments, the first seat portion 111 may include only the first plate portion 1111 or the second plate portion 1112, in which case one side of the first plate portion 1111 or the second plate portion 1112 is the storage space 1113, and the first connecting portion 112 and the first strip-shaped part 120 may be arranged on one side of the first plate portion 1111 or the second plate portion 1112.
[0064] The first connecting portion 112 is used to connect to the second connecting portion 220 of the housing 200 to realize rotation of the rotating part 110 relative to the housing 200 .
[0065] The structure of the first connecting portion 112 is not particularly limited. For example, in some implementations, the first connecting portion 112 may have a strip-like structure. The cross-sectional shape of the first connecting portion 112 is not particularly limited. For example, the cross-section of the first connecting portion 112 may be circular, in which case the first connecting portion 112 may have a columnar structure. In another example, the first connecting portion 112 has a first width direction in which the dimension is relatively large in the radial direction and a second width direction in which the dimension is relatively small in the radial direction. That is, the cross-section of the first connecting portion 112 is not circular. For example, the cross-section of the first connecting portion 112 is rectangular. For another example, the cross-section of the first connecting portion 112 is elliptical, in which case the surface of the first connecting portion 112 is an arcuate surface, which can prevent abrasion of the cable 130 by the first connecting portion 112. As another example, the first connection portion 112 has two flat surfaces and two convex arc surfaces arranged opposite each other on its circumferential side, and the two flat surfaces are connected to the two corresponding convex arc surfaces, thereby allowing the surface on the circumferential side of the first connection portion 112 to transition smoothly and preventing wear on the cable 130 caused by the first connection portion 112.
[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the first strip-shaped part 120 is arranged in the storage space 1113 along the axial direction of the rotating part 110, and a first gap is formed between the first strip-shaped part 120 and the first connection part 112, and the fixing part 131 of the cable 130 can be fixed through the first gap.
[0067] The shape of the first strip-shaped part 120 is not particularly limited. For example, the surface of the first strip-shaped part 120 wound by the fixed stage 131 is an arcuate surface. In some examples, the cable storage device includes a rotating part and a cable, and the rotating part is typically provided with a fixed space and a winding space located outside the fixed space, the fixed space and the winding space communicate with each other via a cable trough, a portion of the cable is fixed in the fixed space via the cable trough, and another portion of the cable is wound in the winding space, and the cable is easily damaged by corners of the peripheral side wall of the cable trough. On the other hand, a first gap is formed between the first strip-shaped part 120 and the first connection part 112, the first part 1311 of the fixed part 131 is engaged in the first gap, and the second part 1312 of the fixed part 131 is wrapped around the periphery of the first strip-shaped part 120. Since the surface of the first strip-shaped part 120 wrapped around by the fixed part 131 is an arc-shaped surface, the first strip-shaped part 120 can be prevented from scratching the cable 130 and the service life of the cable 130 can be guaranteed.
[0068] As an example, the first strip-shaped part 120 may have a columnar structure, and the columnar first strip-shaped part 120 can prevent the first strip-shaped part 120 from scratching the cable 130 and reduce the space required for the first strip-shaped part 120, thereby reducing the volume of the rotating part 110 and making the cable storage device 100 more compact.
[0069] As shown in FIG. 1, in some alternative implementation forms of the embodiments of the present application, the cable storage device 100 further includes a second strip-shaped part 140, which is arranged in the storage space 1113 along the axial direction of the rotating part 110, and a second gap is formed between the second strip-shaped part 140 and the first connecting part 112; the fixed stage 131 further includes a third part 1313, which is located on the opposite side of the first part 1311 from the second part 1312, and which is engaged in the second gap; and the parts of the fixed stage 131 located at both ends of the third part 1313 are wrapped around the circumferential side of the first connecting part 112; in this case, both parts of the fixed stage 131 are engaged in the gap; and the second strip-shaped part 140 can more firmly fix the fixed stage 131 and prevent the fixed stage 131 from moving relative to the rotating part 110.
[0070] In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the shape of the second strip-shaped part 140. For example, the surface of the second strip-shaped part 140 facing the first connecting part 112 is an arcuate surface, which allows the second strip-shaped part 140 to firmly fix the third part 1313 of the fixing section 131 through the arcuate surface, prevents the second strip-shaped part 140 from scratching the cable 130, and ensures the service life of the cable 130.
[0071] As an example, the second strip-shaped part 140 may have a columnar structure, and the columnar second strip-shaped part 140 can prevent the second strip-shaped part 140 from scratching the cable 130 and reduce the space required for arranging the second strip-shaped part 140, thereby reducing the volume of the rotating part 110 and enabling the cable storage device 100 to be made more compact.
[0072] In this embodiment, the second strip-shaped part 140 and the first strip-shaped part 120 can be spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the first connecting part 112. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , the second strip-shaped part 140 and the first strip-shaped part 120 are located on opposite sides of the first connecting part 112, and the fixing part 131 of the cable 130 is fixed via the opposite sides of the first connecting part 112, so that the fixing part 131 of the cable 130 is fixed more firmly.
[0073] As an example, as shown in FIG. 1, the first connecting portion 112 has a first width direction in which the dimension is relatively large in the radial direction and a second width direction in which the dimension is relatively small, the first strip-shaped part 120 and the second strip-shaped part 140 are located on opposite sides of the first connecting portion 112 in the second width direction, the first connecting portion 112, the first strip-shaped part 120, and the second strip-shaped part 140 form a winding structure, and the winding section 132 of the cable 130 is wound along the circumferential direction of the winding structure consisting of the first connecting portion 112, the first strip-shaped part 120, and the second strip-shaped part 140, so that the dimensions of the wound winding section 132 in the first width direction and the second width direction become more uniform, the shape of the wound winding section 132 becomes closer to a disk, and the shape of the winding section 132 can be closer to the disk-shaped rotating part 110.
[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 1 and 8, the cable 130 further includes a winding stage 132, which is located at both ends of the fixed stage 131 and can be wound around the outside of the fixed stage 131 along the circumferential direction of the fixed stage 131, thereby allowing the two winding stages 132 to be stored in the storage space 1113, and the two winding stages 132 can further extend outside the housing 200 through two openings 230 in the housing 200 to increase the effective usable length of the data cable device.
[0075] The cable 130 further includes two connection terminal portions 133, which are respectively connected to one end of the two winding stages 132 away from the fixed stage 131, and at least a portion of the two connection terminal portions 133 is located outside the housing 200, so that when the data cable device needs to be used, the two connection terminal portions 133 can be plugged into the connection terminals of two different devices, respectively, so that the two different devices can transmit signals, charge, etc. through the data cable device.
[0076] Here, the two connection terminal units 133 may include only one plug-in connection terminal or may include multiple plug-in connection terminals, and the multiple plug-in connection terminals may be of different types so that the data cable device can be electrically connected to different external devices having similar connection terminals. For example, as shown in Figure 8, one of the two connection terminal units 133 includes one plug-in connection terminal, and the other of the two connection terminal units 133 includes three plug-in connection terminals of different types.
[0077] When the operator pulls either end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, the rotating part 110 rotates relative to the housing 200, and the two winding sections 132 inside the housing 200 are pulled out of the housing 200 through the two openings 230, increasing the distance between the two connection terminal portions 133. When the operator continues to pull either end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, the distance between the two connection terminal portions 133 further increases, thereby adaptively adjusting the distance between the two connection terminal portions 133 of the data cable device to match the distance between the two devices connected corresponding to the two connection terminal portions 133. When the distance between the two connection terminal portions 133 becomes large enough to connect the two connection terminal portions 133 to the connection terminals of the two devices respectively, the operator can stop pulling both ends of the cable 130 or one end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200, and at this time, when the operator stops pulling both ends of the cable 130 or one end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200, the rotating part 110 can stop rotating relative to the housing 200 directly, or the rotating part 110 can stop rotating relative to the housing 200 by the positioning component 400 of the data cable device.
[0078] For example, in some embodiments, the cable storage device 100 further includes an operating element connected to the rotating element 110, a portion of which passes through an opening in the housing 200 and protrudes outside the housing 200. When an operator pulls either end or one end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200, the rotating element 110 drives the operating element to rotate within the opening. When the operator stops pulling either end or one end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200, the rotating element 110 directly stops rotating due to friction with the housing 200. When it is necessary to store the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 in the storage space 1113 of the rotating element 110, the operating element can be manually rotated to drive the rotating element 110 to rotate in the opposite direction. The winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 enters the housing 200 through the opening 230 and is stored in the storage space 1113, thereby reducing the distance between the two connection terminal portions 133.
[0079] In another example, in some other embodiments, the first seat 111 has a first plate portion 1111 and a second plate portion 1112 spaced apart in the axial direction of the rotating part 110, and as shown in FIG. 4, the data cable device further includes a first elastic part 310, which is arranged on the side of the first plate portion 1111 opposite the second plate portion 1112, and a first end of the first elastic part 310 is fixed to the housing 200, and a second end of the first elastic part 310 is fixed to the first plate portion 1111, which provides a rotational restoring force to the rotating part 110, that is, when the operator pulls both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, the first elastic part 310 is deformed, and when the operator stops pulling both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, the rotating part 110 stops rotating due to the positioning action of the positioning component 400 of the data cable device. When the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 needs to be stored in the storage space 1113 of the rotating part 110, the operator can gently pull both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130 again, causing the rotating part 110 to be released from the positioning action of the positioning component 400 of the data cable device, and rotate in the opposite direction due to the deformation of the first elastic part 310, so that the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 enters the housing 200 through the opening 230 and is stored in the storage space 1113, thereby reducing the distance between the two connection terminal parts 133.
[0080] Here, the first elastic component 310 may be a coil spring. A first end of the first elastic component 310 can be fixed to the second connecting portion 220. As shown in FIG. 4 , a fixed wall 1114 is provided on the side of the first plate portion 1111 opposite to the second plate portion 1112, and a second end of the first elastic component 310 can be locked to the fixed wall 1114.
[0081] Of course, the data cable device can also stop the rotation of the rotating part 110 relative to the housing 200 in other ways. For example, an external clamping structure can be attached to a portion of the winding stage 132 located at the opening 230, and the clamping structure can be engaged with the opening 230 to prevent the winding stage 132 from entering the housing 200 through the opening 230, thereby stopping the rotation of the rotating part 110 relative to the housing 200. When the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 needs to be stored in the storage space 1113, the external clamping structure can be removed from the winding stage 132. At this time, the rotating part 110 rotates in the opposite direction due to the deformation of the first elastic part 310, and the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 enters the housing 200 through the opening 230 and is stored in the storage space 1113, thereby reducing the distance between the two connection terminal parts 133. For example, the clamping structure can be a clip.
[0082] There is no limitation here on the structure of the positioning component 400 .
[0083] 5, 6, and 7, the positioning component 400 may include a moving gear 410, a connecting part 420, a stopper gear 430, and a reset part 440. The moving gear 410 is fixed to the side of the second plate part 1112 opposite to the first plate part 1111, the connecting part 420 and the stopper gear 430 are rotatably disposed on the lower case 202 of the housing 200, one end of the reset part 440 abuts on the connecting part 420, and the other end of the reset part 440 is fixed to the lower case 202 of the housing 200. When the cable management device 100 rotates, it rotates the moving gear 410, which has a first groove 411 formed therein. The number of the first grooves 411 may be one or more, and the number of the first grooves 411 affects the length of the data cable positioned each time. The connecting part 420 is provided with a first protrusion 421, which fits into the first groove 411. The connecting part 420 is further provided with a second protrusion 422 and a third protrusion 423 which protrude in the axial direction. The stopper gear 430 is rotatably connected to the housing 200, and the stopper gear 430 is located between the first protrusion 421 and the second protrusion 422. The connecting part 420 swings along with the moving gear 410, and the first protrusion 421 and the second protrusion 422 respectively engage with different stopper grooves 431 of the stopper gear 430, thereby realizing engagement and disengagement between the first protrusion 421 and the first groove 411. One end of the resetting part 440 abuts against the connecting part 420, and the other end of the resetting part 440 is connected to the lower case 202 of the housing 200, thereby storing energy when the moving gear 410 rotates in a first direction and discharging energy when the moving gear 410 moves in a direction opposite to the first direction. Here, the resetting part 440 is disposed on one side of the connecting part 420 and engages with the moving gear 410, causing elastic deformation in response to the movement of the moving gear 410. Rotation of the rotating part 110 moves the moving gear 410, causing the resetting part 440 to elastically deform, providing a preload force that causes the rotating part 110 to swing toward or away from the resetting part 440. Rotation of the rotating part 110 allows the cable 130 wound around the rotating part 110 to freely extend and retract.The interlocking of the rotating part 110 and the moving gear 410 allows the rotating part 110 to position the cable 130 when the cable 130 wound around the rotating part 110 is pulled out to a desired length. After the user pulls out the cable 130 to the appropriate length, the user can simply let go of the cable 130, and the rotating part 110 will interlock with the moving gear 410, the connecting part 420, and the reset part 440, allowing the cable 130 to maintain its length, making it easier to use. As can be seen, the interlocking design of the positioning component 400 and the rotating part 110 simplifies the telescopic structure of the data cable and effectively improves the practicality of the data cable.
[0084] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the movable gear 410 includes at least two first grooves 411, and the first protrusions 421 are protrusions that fit into the first grooves 411. The engagement between the first grooves 411 and the first protrusions 421 allows the movable gear 410 to drive the connecting piece 420 to swing. After the connecting piece 420 moves a certain distance, the connecting piece 420 slides out of the first grooves 411 and rebounds due to the preload force to fit into the next first groove 411. The presence of at least two first grooves 411 ensures that the connecting piece 420 does not remain disengaged from the first grooves 411 for a long period of time when the movable gear 410 rotates, thereby preventing the cable 130 from being locked in a timely manner. As can be seen, the engagement between the first protrusions 421 and the first grooves 411 makes the data cable structure more reasonable and easier to use.
[0085] The stopper gear 430 has stopper grooves 431 of different depths spaced apart, and the second protrusion 422 and the third protrusion 423 are respectively disposed on both ends of the connecting part 420 and fitted with the connecting part 420 .
[0086] As shown in Figures 5 and 7, when the cable 130 is pulled, the moving gear 410 swings the connecting part 420 via the second protrusion 422, and the second protrusion 422 comes into contact with the stopper gear 430, causing the stopper gear 430 to rotate. When the pulling stops, the elastic force of the resetting part 440 causes the rotating part 110 to slightly reverse. At this time, the reversal of the rotating part 110 and the preload of the resetting part 440 cause the connecting part 420 to swing in the opposite direction by a certain distance. At this time, the second protrusion 422 of the connecting part 420 engages with the stopper groove 431 of the stopper gear 430, fixing the connecting part 420 in its current position, thereby fixing the moving gear 410, which engages with the first protrusion 421, in its current position, thereby fixing the rotating part 110 and the cable 130. When the cable 130 needs to be retrieved, the cable 130 is pulled to an appropriate distance, and the movable gear 410 drives the connecting part 420 to swing a certain distance. The third protrusion 423 drives the stopper gear 430 to rotate, rotating the stopper groove 431 to a predetermined position. When the user releases the cable 130, the rotation of the movable gear 410 and the preload force cause the connecting part 420 to swing in the opposite direction, and the third protrusion 423 engages with the stopper groove 431. At this time, the first protrusion 421 no longer engages with the first groove 411 of the movable gear 410, and the rotating part 110 rotates due to the drive of the movable gear 410, completing the recovery of the cable 130.
[0087] The ultra-thin expandable data cable device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.
[0088] The ultra-thin, retractable data cable device includes a housing 200 and a cable storage device according to an embodiment of the present application. The housing 200 has a storage cavity 210, a rotating component 110 is rotatably disposed within the storage cavity 210, and the cable 130 includes a fixed section 131 and a winding section 132, the fixed section 131 is fixed to the rotating component 110, the winding section 132 can be wound around the rotating component 110, and the wound winding section 132 is located in a space defined by the housing 200.
[0089] In some examples, the data cable device includes a housing, a rotating part, and a cable. The rotating part typically has a storage groove for storing the cable. For example, the rotating part may have two opposing walls at both axial ends, with a storage groove formed between the two opposing walls. This increases the axial thickness of the rotating part. In this case, the housing that houses the rotating part must also be thick, resulting in a thicker overall data cable device. In contrast, in the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, the cable 130 includes a fixed section 131 and a winding section 132. The fixed section 131 is fixed to the rotating part 110, and the winding section 132 can be wound around the rotating part 110 in the circumferential direction. The wound winding section 132 is located in a space defined by the housing 200. This means that there is no need to provide a storage groove in the rotating part 110. This reduces the axial thickness of the rotating part 110, allowing the housing 200 to be made thinner, thereby achieving a lighter ultra-thin stretchable data cable device.
[0090] In the present embodiment, the thickness direction of the ultra-thin retractable data cable device may be the same as or approximately the same as the axial direction of the rotating component 110 .
[0091] The embodiment of the present application is not limited to the structure of the housing 200. For example, the housing 200 may have a disk-like structure.
[0092] As shown in FIG. 9 , the housing 200 can have a first wall 204 and a second wall 205 arranged opposite each other in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, and the wound winding section 132 is located in the space defined by the first wall 204 and the second wall 205. That is, the wound winding section 132 can be restricted by the first wall 204 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200, eliminating the need to provide a restricting wall in the axial direction of the rotating part 110. This reduces the axial thickness of the rotating part 110, allowing the thickness of the housing 200 to be relatively small, thereby achieving a lightweight ultra-thin stretchable data cable device.
[0093] In the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, there is a gap between the cable 130 and the first wall 204 of the housing 200 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200, and the minimum thickness of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device is equal to the sum of the width of the cable 130, the thickness of the first wall 204, the thickness of the second wall 205, and the gap, thereby achieving a lightweight ultra-thin stretchable data cable device.
[0094] The gap between the cable 130 and the first wall 204 of the housing 200 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200 may be a first gap between the cable 130 and the first wall 204 of the housing 200 and a second gap between the cable 130 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200, allowing the cable 130 to freely stretch within the receiving cavity 210 without being abraded by the first wall 204 and the second wall 205. The minimum thickness of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable apparatus is equal to the sum of the width of the cable 130, the thickness of the first wall 204, the thickness of the second wall 205, the first gap, and the second gap.
[0095] The gap between the cable 130 and the first wall 204 of the housing 200 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200 may be a first gap between the cable 130 and the first wall 204 of the housing 200 and no gap between the cable 130 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200, allowing the cable 130 to freely stretch within the receiving cavity 210 without being abraded by the first wall 204. The minimum thickness of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable apparatus is equal to the sum of the width of the cable 130, the thickness of the first wall 204, the thickness of the second wall 205, and the first gap.
[0096] The presence of a gap between the cable 130 and the first wall 204 of the housing 200 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200 may be replaced by a second gap between the cable 130 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200, and no gap between the cable 130 and the first wall 204 of the housing 200, allowing the cable 130 to freely stretch in the receiving cavity 210 without being abraded by the second wall 205. The minimum thickness of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable apparatus is equal to the sum of the width of the cable 130, the thickness of the first wall 204, the thickness of the second wall 205, and the second gap.
[0097] Here, there are no other structural parts between the first wall 204 and the wound winding stage 132, and there are no other structural parts between the second wall 205 and the wound winding stage 132, so that the first wall 204 and the second wall 205 directly restrict the wound winding stage 132 in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, thereby preventing the wound winding stage 132 from moving in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device.
[0098] The structure of the first wall 204 is not particularly limited. For example, in some embodiments, the first wall 204 may have a flat plate-like structure. In another example, in some other embodiments, the first wall 204 may have a curved plate-like structure.
[0099] The structure of the second wall 205 is not particularly limited. For example, in some embodiments, the second wall 205 may have a flat plate-like structure. In another example, in some other embodiments, the second wall 205 may have a curved plate-like structure.
[0100] As shown in FIG. 9 , the housing 200 further includes a first opening 161 and a second opening 162 communicating with the accommodating cavity 210, the number of winding stages 132 may be two, and the two winding stages 132 are located at both ends of the fixed stage 131, the cable 130 may further include a first connection terminal portion 320 and a second connection terminal portion 330, the first connection terminal portion 320 is connected to one of the two winding stages 132, and at least a portion of the first connection terminal portion 320 passes through the first opening 161 and is located outside the housing 200, and the second connection terminal portion 330 is connected to one of the two winding stages 132. The connecting terminal portion 330 is connected to the other of the two winding stages 132, and at least a portion of the second connecting terminal portion 330 passes through the second opening 162 and is located outside the housing 200, so that the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device can be inserted into the connecting terminal of a first external device through the first connecting terminal portion 320 and into the connecting terminal of a second external device through the second connecting terminal portion 330, thereby electrically connecting the first device and the second device via the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device and realizing charging, signal transmission, etc.
[0101] The number of connection terminals of the first connection terminal unit 320 is not particularly limited. For example, in some embodiments, the first connection terminal unit 320 may include at least two first connection terminals, and the types of the at least two first connection terminals may be the same or different. As an example, the at least two first connection terminals may include at least two of a USB type connection terminal, a Type-C type connection terminal, a micro type connection terminal, and a lightning type connection terminal.
[0102] The number of connection terminals of the second connection terminal unit 330 is not particularly limited. For example, in some embodiments, the second connection terminal unit 330 may include at least two second connection terminals, and the types of the at least two second connection terminals may be the same or different. As an example, the at least two second connection terminals may include at least two of a USB type connection terminal, a Type-C type connection terminal, a micro type connection terminal, and a lightning type connection terminal.
[0103] The connection terminal type of the first connection terminal unit 320 may be the same as or different from the connection terminal type of the second connection terminal unit 330. For example, as shown in Fig. 9, the first connection terminal unit 320 includes one Type-C type connection terminal, and the second connection terminal unit 330 includes one Type-C type connection terminal.
[0104] The first aperture 161 and the second aperture 162 may be spaced apart along the periphery of the housing 200. As an example, as shown in Figure 9, the first aperture 161 and the second aperture 162 are provided on opposite sides of the housing 200.
[0105] The housing 200 may include an upper case 201 and a lower case 202, which may be fixedly connected by screws, a snap structure, or the like, and between the upper case 201 and the lower case 202, an accommodating cavity 210 and a first opening 161 and a second opening 162 communicating with the accommodating cavity 210 are formed.
[0106] The upper case 201 may include a first wall 204 and a side wall located on the circumferential side of the first wall 204. The lower case 202 may include a second wall 205 and a side wall located on the circumferential side of the second wall 205. The circumferential side wall of the first wall 204 and the circumferential side wall of the second wall 205 define a first opening 161 and a second opening 162.
[0107] The upper case 201 may include a third connection portion 206, and the lower case 202 may include a first fixing hole 180. A second fixing hole may be provided in the third connection portion 206, and the first fixing hole 180 and the second fixing hole may be connected by a screw. Of course, the upper case 201 and the lower case 202 may also be connected by a snap structure.
[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no limitation on the structure of the rotating element 110. For example, the rotating element 110 may have a columnar structure. In another example, the rotating element 110 may have a disk-like structure.
[0109] The rotating component 110 can be rotatably disposed within the receiving cavity 210 via a rotating shaft structure.
[0110] 9 and 10 , in some embodiments, the housing 200 may further include a third connecting portion 206 disposed in the accommodating cavity 210 along the axial direction of the rotating component 110, wherein the rotating component 110 has a connecting through-hole 270 at a position corresponding to the third connecting portion 206, and the third connecting portion 206 is inserted into the connecting through-hole 270 and is rotatable within the connecting through-hole 270, thereby rotatably disposing the rotating component 110 within the accommodating cavity 210. When the housing 200 includes the first wall 204 and the second wall 205, the third connecting portion 206 and the first wall 204 may be different parts of a single structural component, and of course, the third connecting portion 206 and the first wall 204 may be connected by welding, adhesive, or the like. The third connecting portion 206 and the second wall body 205 are detachably connected via a screw or a snap structure, so that the rotating component 110 can be attached inside the housing 200.
[0111] In another example, in some other embodiments, the third connecting portion 206 has a connecting protrusion arranged along the axial direction of the rotating part 110, and the first wall 204 and / or the second wall 205 include a connecting groove, and the connecting protrusion is inserted into the connecting groove, and the connecting protrusion can rotate within the connecting groove, thereby allowing the rotating part 110 to rotate within the accommodating cavity 210.
[0112] In some alternative implementation forms of the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, on a projection plane B perpendicular to the axis A of the rotating part 110, at least a portion of the projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the rotating part 110, that is, the rotating part 110 does not have space to accommodate the wound and arranged winding stage 132, thereby reducing the axial thickness of the rotating part 110 and making the thickness of the housing 200 relatively small, thereby realizing a lightweight ultra-thin stretchable data cable device.
[0113] In this embodiment, in a projection plane B perpendicular to the axis A of the rotating part 110, at least a portion of the projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the rotating part 110, which may mean that at least a portion of the projection of the winding stage 132 that is wound and arranged is located outside the projection area of the rotating part 110, or at least a portion of the projection of the winding stage 132 that is not wound and arranged is located outside the projection area of the rotating part 110.
[0114] In this implementation, the fact that at least a portion of the projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the rotating component 110 may mean that the entire projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the rotating component 110. The fact that at least a portion of the projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the rotating component 110 may mean that a portion of the projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the rotating component 110.
[0115] For example, the rotating part 110 may include a winding section 150, the first end of which is located on the first wall 204 side, i.e., the first end of the winding section 150 is arranged adjacent to the first wall 204, the fixed stage 131 is fixed to the winding section 150, the winding stage 132 can be wound around the winding section 150 in the circumferential direction, and in the projection plane B, the projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the winding section 150.
[0116] This example does not impose any limitations on the shape of the take-up portion 150. For example, in some embodiments, the take-up portion 150 may have a columnar structure.
[0117] 10 , the second end of the winding section 150 is located on the second wall 205 side, i.e., the second end of the winding section 150 is disposed adjacent to the second wall 205. The rotating element 110 may further include a positioning portion 160, which is disposed at the second end of the winding section 150 and protrudes from the circumferential side of the winding section 150 along the circumferential direction of the winding section 150, and the wound portion of the winding stage 132 abuts against the positioning portion 160. By abutting the wound portion of the winding stage 132 against the positioning portion 160, the axial position of the winding stage 132 of the rotating element 110 can be limited, so that the winding stage 132 can be wound within a predetermined region on the circumferential side of the winding section 150 and the winding stage 132 can be prevented from shifting too far in the axial direction of the winding section 150. In the projection plane B, part of the projection of the winding stage 132 is located outside the projection area of the positioning portion 160, that is, the positioning portion 160 is used to limit the axial position at which the winding stage 132 connected to the fixed stage 131 is wound onto the winding portion 150, and the other wound and arranged winding stage 132 is mainly located within the space defined by the housing 200 and is limited by the first wall 204 and the second wall 205 of the housing 200.
[0118] The structure of the positioning portion 160 is not particularly limited. For example, in some embodiments, the positioning portion 160 may have a ring-shaped structure. In another example, in some other embodiments, the positioning portion 160 may have a strip-shaped structure. In another example, in some other embodiments, the positioning portion 160 may have a block-shaped structure.
[0119] There is no particular limitation on the height of the positioning portion 160 protruding from the winding portion 150. For example, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 10, by making the height H1 of the positioning portion 160 protruding from the winding portion 150 smaller than the thickness H2 of the winding stage 132, it is possible not only to reduce the arrangement space for the positioning portion 160 but also to use the positioning portion 160 to limit the axial position at which the winding stage 132 connected to the fixed stage 131 is wound around the winding portion 150.
[0120] Of course, in other implementations, the rotating part 110 may include only the winding part 150 without the positioning part 160, in which case the entire projection of the wound stage 132 positioned in a wound manner is located outside the projection area of the rotating part 110.
[0121] In the present embodiment, the cable 130 includes a fixed section 131 and a winding section 132. The fixed section 131 is fixed to the rotating element 110, and the winding section 132 can be wound around the rotating element 110. The wound winding section 132 is located within the space defined by the housing 200. When the winding section 132 needs to be used, pulling either end or one end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 positions the winding section 132 outside the housing 200, thereby increasing the distance between the first connecting terminal section 320 and the second connecting terminal section 330, making it possible to electrically connect two external devices with different distances. When the winding section 132 needs to be stored, it can be stored within the housing 200, thereby reducing the distance between the first connecting terminal section 320 and the second connecting terminal section 330. This reduces the volume of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, making it easier to store and carry.
[0122] The manner in which the fixed stage 131 is fixed to the rotating component 110 is not particularly limited. For example, in some embodiments, the rotating component 110 may be provided with a clamping groove, and the fixed stage 131 may be locked to the rotating component 110 via the clamping groove. In another example, in some other embodiments, a pressing and clamping structure may be provided on the rotating component 110, and the fixed stage 131 may be fixed to the rotating component 110 via the pressing and clamping structure.
[0123] The manner in which the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 is accommodated inside the housing 200 is not particularly limited.
[0124] For example, in some embodiments, the cable 130 storage device may further include an operating component, which is connected to the rotating component 110, and a portion of the operating component passes through a through-groove in the housing 200 and protrudes outside the housing 200. When an operator pulls either end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, the rotating component 110 is driven to rotate within the through-groove, and when the operator stops pulling either end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, the rotating component 110 stops rotating directly due to the frictional force with the housing 200. When the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 needs to be stored inside the housing 200, the operating part can be manually rotated to cause the rotating part 110 to rotate in the reverse direction, and the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 enters the housing 200 through the first opening 161 and the second opening 162 and is stored inside the housing 200, thereby reducing the distance between the first connection terminal part 320 and the second connection terminal part 330.
[0125] In another example, in some other embodiments, the ultra-thin stretchable data cable apparatus may further include a second elastic component 510, a first end of which is fixed to the housing 200, and a second end of which is fixed to the rotating component 110, to provide a rotational restoring force to the rotating component 110. That is, when an operator pulls either end of the cable 130 or one end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200, the second elastic component 510 is deformed, and when the operator stops pulling either end of the cable 130 or one end of the cable 130 outside the housing 200, the rotating component 110 stops rotating due to the positioning effect of the positioning structure of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable apparatus. When it is necessary to store the winding section 132 outside the housing 200 in the receiving cavity 210, the operator can again lightly pull both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, thereby releasing the rotating part 110 from the positioning function of the positioning structure of the ultra-thin telescopic data cable device and causing it to rotate in the opposite direction due to the deformation force of the second elastic part 510. The winding section 132 outside the housing 200 enters the housing 200 through the first opening 161 or the second opening 162 and is stored in the housing 200, thereby reducing the distance between the first connecting terminal part 320 and the second connecting terminal part 330.
[0126] Here, the second elastic component 510 may be a helical spring. A first end of the second elastic component 510 may be fixed to the third connecting portion 206. A second end of the second elastic component 510 may be locked to the rotating component 110.
[0127] Of course, the ultra-thin retractable data cable device can also stop the rotation of the rotating part 110 relative to the housing 200 in other ways, for example, an external clamping structure can be attached to the portion of the winding stage 132 located at the first opening 161 or the second opening 162, and the clamping structure can be engaged with the first opening 161 or the second opening 162 to prevent the winding stage 132 from entering the housing 200 through the first opening 161 or the second opening 162, thereby stopping the rotation of the rotating part 110 relative to the housing 200. When the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 needs to be retracted into the housing 200, the external clamping structure can be removed from the winding stage 132, and at this time, the rotating element 110 rotates in the opposite direction due to the deformation force of the second elastic element 510, and the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 enters the housing 200 through the first opening 161 or the second opening 162, thereby reducing the distance between the first connecting terminal portion 320 and the second connecting terminal portion 330. As an example, the clamping structure may be a clip.
[0128] Here, there is no limitation on the structure of the positioning structure.
[0129] In some alternative implementation forms of the embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 12 , the second end of the rotating part 110 is provided with an inner slide groove 281 and an outer slide groove 282 spaced apart, and an inlet 283 and an outlet 284 communicating with the inner slide groove 281 and the outer slide groove 282, respectively, and the outlet 284 of the winding part 150 is provided with a locking groove 285. As shown in FIGS. 13 and 15 , the ultra-thin retractable data cable device may further include a positioning part 600, which includes a second seat 610 rotatably disposed on the housing 200 and a positioning protrusion 620 protruding from the end surface of the second seat 610, and the positioning protrusion 620 can be locked in the locking groove 285 to limit the rotational position of the rotating part 110 relative to the housing 200.
[0130] In this embodiment, when the operator pulls both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, the rotating element 110 rotates in the first direction A, the positioning protrusion 620 slides in the inner slide groove 281, the second elastic element 510 is deformed, and when the extended length of the two winding sections 132 of the cable 130 meets the usage requirements, the operator can stop pulling both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 or one end of the cable 130, and at this time, the rotating element 110 rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction A due to the deformation force of the second elastic element 510, and the positioning protrusion 620 slides and locks into the locking groove 285, stopping the rotation of the rotating element 110 relative to the housing 200 and ensuring the length of the winding sections 132 outside the housing 200. When the winding stage 132 needs to be retracted, either one end of the cable 130 or both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 can be pulled gently, causing the positioning protrusion 620 to disengage from the locking groove 285 and enter the outer sliding groove 282 through the exit 284. The rotating element 110 continues to rotate in the second direction opposite to the first direction A due to the deformation force of the second elastic element 510, thereby causing the winding stage 132 outside the housing 200 to enter the housing 200 and retract the winding stage 132. When the length of the cable 130 needs to be increased again, either one end of the cable 130 or both ends of the cable 130 outside the housing 200 can be pulled again. At this time, the rotating element 110 rotates in the first direction A, causing the positioning protrusion 620 to slide from the outer sliding groove 282 to the entrance 283. The positioning protrusion 620 then enters the inner sliding groove 281 through the entrance 283 and slides within the inner sliding groove 281.
[0131] In this embodiment, the shapes of the inner slide groove 281 and the outer slide groove 282 are not limited, as long as when the rotating part 110 rotates in the first direction A, the positioning protrusion 620 can enter the inner slide groove 281 from the outer slide groove 282 through the entrance 283, and when the rotating part 110 rotates in a second direction opposite to the first direction A, the positioning protrusion 620 is engaged with the locking groove 285 and can enter the outer slide groove 282 from the locking groove 285 through the exit 284.
[0132] For example, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, the rotating part 110 has a first guide protrusion 286 on the inner wall of the inner slide groove 281, which is located at the exit 284, allowing the positioning protrusion 620 to slide into the locking groove 285 from the exit 284, and the rotating part 110 has a second guide protrusion 287 on the outer wall of the outer slide groove 282, which is located at the entrance 283, allowing the positioning protrusion 620 to slide into the inner slide groove 281 from the entrance 283.
[0133] In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the structure of the second seat 610. For example, as shown in Figures 14 and 16, the second seat 610 may be annular, and the housing 200 may further include a second protruding post 190 inserted into the inner cavity of the second seat 610, such that the positioning component 600 and the housing 200 are rotatably connected by inserting the second protruding post 190 into the inner cavity of the second seat 610, and the annular second seat 610 may reduce the arrangement space of the positioning component 600.
[0134] In some alternative implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device may further include a second elastic part 510, which is disposed on the rotating part 110, and in a projection plane parallel to the axis of the rotating part 110, at least a portion of the projection of the second elastic part 510 is located within the projection area of the fixed part 131. In this case, in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, at least a portion of the second elastic part 510 is disposed in the same space as the fixed part 131, thereby reducing the placement space of the rotating part 110 in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device and realizing a reduction in the weight of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device.
[0135] In this implementation, the second resilient element 510 is connected to the housing 200 and provides a rotational restoring force to the rotating element 110 .
[0136] In this embodiment, in a projection plane parallel to the axis of the rotating part 110, at least a portion of the projection of the second elastic part 510 being located within the projection area of the fixed part 131 may mean that the entire projection of the second elastic part 510 is located within the projection area of the fixed part 131. In this case, the second elastic part 510 occupies the arrangement space of the fixed part 131 in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, and the second elastic part 510 no longer needs to occupy space in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin stretchable data cable device, thereby achieving a lightweight ultra-thin stretchable data cable device.
[0137] Of course, in a projection plane parallel to the axis of the rotating element 110, at least a portion of the projection of the second elastic element 510 may be located within the projection area of the fixed element 131, or a portion of the projection of the second elastic element 510 may be located within the projection area of the fixed element 131. In this case, a portion of the second elastic element 510 will occupy the arrangement space of the fixed element 131 in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin telescopic data cable device, thereby reducing the space occupied by the second elastic element 510 in the thickness direction of the ultra-thin telescopic data cable device and realizing a lighter ultra-thin telescopic data cable device.
[0138] In this embodiment, a first end of the second elastic part 510 may be fixed to the housing 200. The manner in which the first end of the second elastic part 510 is fixed to the housing 200 is not limited. For example, the first end of the second elastic part 510 may be locked to the third connecting part 206.
[0139] The second end of the second elastic part 510 may be fixed to the rotating part 110. The manner in which the second end of the second elastic part 510 is fixed to the rotating part 110 is not limited. For example, the second end of the second elastic part 510 may be locked to the rotating part 110.
[0140] In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the position where the second elastic component 510 is disposed. For example, the second elastic component 510 can be disposed at a first end of the rotating component 110, and the fixed stage 131 can also be disposed at the first end of the rotating component 110. To prevent the second elastic component 510 from wearing out the fixed stage 131, one or two baffles may be disposed between the second elastic component 510 and the fixed stage 131. As an example, as shown in FIG. 11 , one partition 240 may be disposed between the second elastic component 510 and the fixed stage 131.
[0141] Of course, it is not necessary to dispose a baffle plate between the second elastic component 510 and the fixed stage 131.
[0142] In another example, as shown in Figures 11 and 17, the rotating part 110 may have a second groove 170, the groove opening of the second groove 170 being located at a first end of the rotating part 110, at least a portion of the second elastic part 510 being disposed within the second groove 170, the first end of the second elastic part 510 being fixed to the housing 200, and the second end of the second elastic part 510 being fixed to the rotating part 110, thereby providing a rotational restoring force to the rotating part 110, and protecting the second elastic part 510 by the second groove 170 and preventing other structures from colliding with the second elastic part 510 and affecting the deformation of the second elastic part 510.
[0143] In this example, the first end of the rotating component 110 is located on the first wall 204 side, and the first end of the rotating component 110 is the end of the rotating component 110 closer to the first wall 204 side, and the second end of the rotating component 110 is located on the second wall 205 side, and the second end of the rotating component 110 is the end of the rotating component 110 closer to the second wall 205 side.
[0144] In this example, the second elastic component 510 may be entirely or partially disposed within the second groove 170 .
[0145] In this example, the fixed section 131 of the cable 130 can be fixed in the second groove 170, which can accommodate the second elastic component 510 and fix the fixed section 131, thereby simplifying the structure of the rotating component 110. Of course, the fixed section 131 of the cable 130 can also be fixed outside the second groove 170.
[0146] The manner in which the fixed stage 131 is fixed to the second groove 170 is not particularly limited. For example, a first opening 250 communicating with the second groove 170 may be further provided on the circumferential side of the rotating component 110, and the fixed stage 131 may be fixed in the second groove 170 through the first opening 250.
[0147] The number of first openings 250 is not particularly limited. For example, there may be one first opening 250, and the fixed section 131 may be fixed to the second groove 170 by adhesive bonding, fitting, or other methods. The two winding sections 132 are wound around the rotating component 110 from one first opening 250 and positioned outside the second groove 170. In another example, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 17 , there may be two first openings 250, and the fixed section 131 is engaged with the second groove 170 through the two first openings 250. The two winding sections 132 are wound around the rotating component 110 from the two first openings 250 and positioned outside the second groove 170.
[0148] In this example, as shown in Figures 11 and 17, the rotating part 110 may further include a partition body 240 arranged in the second groove 170, the number of first openings 250 is two, and the two first openings 250 are located at both ends of the partition body 240, the partition body 240 separates the second groove 170 into a first space 171 and a second space 172, the fixed stage 131 is fixed in the first space 171 through the two first openings 250, and at least a portion of the second elastic part 510 is arranged in the second space 172, thereby separating the fixed stage 131 and the second elastic part 510 by the partition body 240, thereby preventing the fixed stage 131 and the second elastic part 510 from affecting each other, for example, preventing the fixed stage 131 from affecting the deformation movement of the second elastic part 510 and preventing the fixed stage 131 from being worn due to the deformation movement of the second elastic part 510.
[0149] As an example, as shown in Figures 11 and 17, a second opening 260 communicating with the second space 172 is further provided on the circumferential side of the rotating part 110, and a first end of the second elastic part 510 is fixed to the housing 200 within the second space 172, and a second end of the second elastic part 510 passes through the second opening 260 and is engaged with the wall of the rotating part 110 located on the circumferential side of the second groove 170.
[0150] Here, the first end of the second elastic component 510 can be locked to the third connecting portion 206 in the second space 172 .
[0151] The terminal end of the second end of the second elastic component 510 may be located outside the second space 172 or may be located inside the second space 172. For example, as shown in Fig. 17 , the terminal end of the second end of the second elastic component 510 is disposed inside the second space 172 through one of the first openings 250, and thereby the second end of the second elastic component 510 can be fixed by the wall between the first opening 250 and the second opening 260.
[0152] In this example, the rotating part 110 further has a connecting through hole 270 arranged axially along the bottom wall of the second groove 170, the housing 200 further has a third connecting portion 206 inserted into the connecting through hole 270, and the first end of the second elastic part 510 is fixed to the third connecting portion 206.
[0153] The above content is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, and the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any modifications or replacements that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application should be subject to the scope of protection of the claims. [Explanation of symbols]
