[0020] Also, the technical features according to different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the strap-type charging cable 1000 for mobile phones (hereinafter abbreviated as the charging cable 1000) includes a first connector 10, a second connector 20, and a connection cable 30. Both ends of the connection cable 30 are respectively connected to the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 to realize the connection between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20. Note that one of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 is used for connection to an electronic device, and the other is used for connection to an external power source, thereby realizing charging of the electronic device. Alternatively, one of the first connector 10 and the second connector 20 is used for connection to an electronic device, and the other is used for connection to another electronic device, thereby realizing data transmission between two electronic devices. The user can install and use it according to actual needs, and it is not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0022] Regarding the first connector 10, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first connector 10 is provided with a first base 101, a first connection post 102, and a first lock sleeve 103. A first insertion terminal 1011 extends from the first base 101. The first connection post 102 is removably connected to the first insertion terminal 1011. The first lock sleeve 103 is externally fitted to the first connection post 102 and is removably connected to the first base 101. One end of the first connection post 102 close to the first base 101 abuts against the inner wall of the first lock sleeve 103. The first lock sleeve 103 is used to lock the first connection post 102 to the first insertion terminal 1011. The first insertion terminal 1011 is used for connection to an electronic device or an external power source. Optionally, the first insertion terminal 1011 is a USB insertion terminal. As can be understood, the removable connection method between the first connection post 102 and the first insertion terminal 1011 includes, but is not limited to, fastening, screw connection, screwing, etc.

[0023] Understandably, since the first lock sleeve 103 is removably connected to the first base 101, when the user needs to set the charging cable 1000 to the first state, the first lock sleeve 103 is connected to the first base 101, and the first connection post 102 is locked to the first insertion terminal 1011, and the first connection post 102 can be used to make a call on the mobile phone. When the user needs to set the charging cable 1000 to the second state, the first lock sleeve 103 is separated from the first base 101, the first connection post 102 can be removed from the first insertion terminal 1011, and the first insertion terminal 1011 is exposed and in a state where it can be inserted into an external electronic device or an external power source. As shown in FIG. 3, the first state of the charging cable 1000 refers to a state where the charging cable 1000 is used as a strap for a mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 4, the second state of the charging cable 1000 refers to a state where the charging cable 1000 can be normally charged or data can be transmitted differently.

[0024] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the first lock sleeve 103 is screw-connected to the outer wall of the first base 101. When the charging cable 1000 is in the first state, the first lock sleeve 103 is screw-connected to the outer wall of the first base 101, and the first connection post 102 is locked to the first insertion terminal 1011. When the charging cable 1000 is in the second state, the first lock sleeve 103 rotates relative to the first base 101 and is separated from the first base 101. The first connection post 102 can be removed from the first insertion terminal 1011, and the first insertion terminal 1011 is exposed and in a state where it can be inserted into an external electronic device or an external power source. It should be noted that in the two different states of the charging cable 1000, the first lock sleeve 103 needs to rotate correspondingly. Regarding the rotation direction of the first lock sleeve 103 corresponding to different states of the charging cable 1000, it is not specifically limited in the present invention. For example, when the charging cable 1000 is in the first state, the first lock sleeve 103 rotates clockwise to be connected to the first base 101. When the charging cable 1000 is in the second state, the first lock sleeve 103 rotates counterclockwise to be separated from the first base 101.

[0025] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, when the first lock sleeve 103 rotates, in order to reduce the rotation of the first base 101, a first insertion groove 1021 is provided on the first connection post 102, the groove opening of the first insertion groove 1021 faces the first insertion terminal 1011, and when the charging cable 1000 is in the first state, the first insertion terminal 1011 is inserted into the first insertion groove 1021. Thereby, when the first lock sleeve 103 rotates, the rotation of the first base 101 is reduced, the rotation of the connection cable 30 connected to the first base 101 is reduced, the risk of torsional damage occurring between the first connector 10 and the connection cable 30 is reduced, and the durability of the first connector 10 and the connection cable 30 is improved.

[0026] In some embodiments, a first position regulating protrusion 1031 is peripherally provided on the inner wall of the first lock sleeve 103, a second position regulating protrusion 1022 is peripherally provided on the outer wall of the first connection post 102, and when the charging cable 1000 is in the first state, the second position regulating protrusion 1022 abuts against the first position regulating protrusion 1031. Thereby, the first lock sleeve 103 realizes locking the first connection post 102 to the first insertion terminal 1011, and the risk of the first connection post 102 falling off from the first lock sleeve 103 is reduced.

[0027] In some embodiments, a first connection hole 1023 is provided at one end of the first connection post 102 away from the first base 101, the first connection hole 1023 is used to connect an external hook or an external wire, and the external hook or the external wire is used to make a phone call, thereby realizing making a phone call.

[0028] Regarding the second connector 20 and the connection cable 30, as shown in FIG. 1, one end of the connection cable 30 is connected to the first connector 10, and the other end of the connection cable 30 is connected to the second connector 20. The second connector 20 is provided with a second base 201, a second connection post 202, and a second lock sleeve 203. A second insertion terminal 2011 extends from the second base 201. The second connection post 202 is removably connected to the second insertion terminal 2011. The second lock sleeve 203 is externally fitted to the second connection post 202 and is removably connected to the second base 201. One end of the second connection post 202 close to the second base 201 abuts against the inner wall of the second lock sleeve 203. The second lock sleeve 203 is used to lock the second connection post 202 to the second insertion terminal 2011. The second insertion terminal 2011 is used to connect an electronic device or an external power source. Optionally, the second insertion terminal 2011 is a USB insertion terminal. As can be understood, the removable connection method between the second connection post 202 and the second insertion terminal 2011 includes, but is not limited to, fastening, screw connection, screwing, etc.

[0029] In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when the first connection post 102 is connected to the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second connection post 202 is connected to the second insertion terminal 2011, the charging cable 1000 is in the first state. At this time, both the first connection post 102 and the second connection post 202 can be used to make a call, and the charging cable 1000 functions as a strap for the mobile phone. As shown in FIG. 4, when the first connection post 102 is separated from the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second connection post 202 is separated from the second insertion terminal 2011, the charging cable 1000 is in the second state. Both the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second insertion terminal 2011 are used to be inserted into an electronic device or an external power source. At this time, the charging cable 1000 is in a state where it can normally perform charging or data transmission. It should be noted that the second connector 20 has the same function and configuration as the first connector 10, and the configuration of the second connector 20 can refer to the configuration of the first connector 10 above.

[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, when the second lock sleeve 203 rotates, in order to reduce the rotation of the second base 201, a second insertion groove 2021 is provided in the second connection post 202, and the groove opening of the second insertion groove 2021 faces the second insertion terminal 2011. When the charging cable 1000 is in the first state, the second insertion terminal 2011 is inserted into the second insertion groove 2021. Thereby, when the second lock sleeve 203 rotates, the rotation of the second base 201 is reduced, the rotation of the connection cable 30 connected to the second base 201 is reduced, the risk of torsional damage occurring between the second connector 20 and the connection cable 30 is reduced, and furthermore, the durability of the second connector 20 and the connection cable 30 is improved.

[0031] As can be understood, in the present invention, by reducing the torsion between the first connector 10 and the connection cable 30 and the torsion between the second connector 20 and the connection cable 30, the torsion between the first connector 10 and the second connector 20, that is, the torsion of the connection cable 30 itself, is reduced. Thereby, the usage experience of the charging cable 1000 in the first state can be improved.

[0032] In some embodiments, a third position regulating protrusion 2031 is peripherally provided on the inner wall of the second lock sleeve 203, and a fourth position regulating protrusion 2022 is peripherally provided on the outer wall of the second connection post 202. When the charging cable 1000 is in the first state, the fourth position regulating protrusion 2022 abuts against the third position regulating protrusion 2031. Thereby, the second lock sleeve 203 realizes locking the second connection post 202 to the second insertion terminal 2011, and the second connection post 202 can be prevented from falling off from the second lock sleeve 203.

[0033] In some embodiments, a second connection hole 2023 is provided at one end of the second connection post 202 away from the second base 201. The second connection hole 2023 is used to connect an external hook or an external wire, and the external hook or the external wire is used to hang a mobile phone, thereby realizing hanging a mobile phone.

The second connector 20 is provided with a second base 201 and a second connection post 202. A second insertion terminal 2011 extends from the second base 201, and the second connection post 202 is removably connected to the second insertion terminal 2011. One end of the connection cable 30 is connected to the first connector 10, and the other end of the connection cable 30 is connected to the second connector 20. When the first connection post 102 is connected to the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second connection post 202 is connected to the second insertion terminal 2011, the charging cable 1000 is in a first state. When the first connection post 102 is separated from the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second connection post 202 is separated from the second insertion terminal 2011, the charging cable 1000 is in a second state. Thereby, the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second insertion terminal 2011 in the charging cable 1000 are both correspondingly connected by the first connection post 102 and the second connection post 202, thereby avoiding the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second insertion terminal 2011 from being in an exposed state and reducing the entry of external dust and foreign objects into the first insertion terminal 1011 and the second insertion terminal 2011. Further, the charging cable 1000 in the present invention can be in two different states.
