Data Cable Plug Fixing Structure for Stable Device Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electronic devices experience unstable data transmission due to disengagement of data cables from the device interface during dynamic applications, leading to interruptions in data transmission and charging.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device assembly that includes a housing with a data interface and a data cable featuring a connection plug with a fixing structure, which secures the plug to the housing, enhancing the connection's firmness and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a data cable is connected to an electronic device through a data interface, then data transmission and charging functions are achieved, but the connection is likely to disengage during dynamic application scenarios
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is divided into separate functional components: a connection plug with a fixing structure, a cable body, and a data interface. The fixing structure is further segmented into a fixing component and a limiting component, allowing independent optimization of each part's function while maintaining overall connection reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixing structure is pre-integrated into the connection plug before insertion. The limiting component is designed with predetermined geometric features (such as limiting grooves or protrusions) that automatically engage with corresponding features in the housing, preventing disengagement before the problematic dynamic motion occurs.
2Reliability
If the connection plug is secured to the housing, then disengagement is prevented, but the device structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fixing structure acts as an intermediary element between the connection plug and the housing. Rather than directly modifying the housing or the plug in complex ways, the fixing structure mediates the connection by providing a simple mechanical interlocking mechanism (such as a limiting groove and protrusion pair) that ensures reliable data transmission while adding minimal structural complexity.

AI summary
Provided is an electronic device assembly. The electronic device assembly includes an electronic device and a data cable. The electronic device includes a housing, and the housing has a data interface. The data cable includes a cable body, a connection plug, and a fixing structure. The connection plug is disposed at one end of the cable body, and the fixing structure is disposed on a side of the connection plug. When the connection plug is plugged in the data interface, the fixing structure can fix the connection plug to the housing.
