Multi-type connector {MULTIPLE CONNECTOR}

The present invention relates to a first plug, and more particularly, to a first plug having a main body, a second plug for use in an electronic device such as a first plug and a smart phone, and a protruding means for selectively protruding, Type receptacle. The present invention relates to a multi-type connector which can be used in various kinds of appliances, thereby improving convenience for users.

2. Description of the Related Art [0002] Generally, there are inconvenient to use a memory device having different plugs according to the types of receptacles, in which sizes and types of receptacles for charging and data transmission are improved. Accordingly, techniques for enabling connection to different receptacles in order to solve such inconvenience have been proposed,

Such prior art is disclosed in Korean Patent Application No. 10-2011-0077235 entitled " Multiple Integrated Controlled USB Memory Device "

The above-mentioned prior art has a main body case and a main body case, which are provided in a front portion of the main body case and inserted into a USB port provided in an external device, and a signal pattern and a power source pattern plug; A signal terminal provided at a rear portion of the main body case and connected to a plug of the USB memory stick, the signal terminal being connected to the signal pattern formed on the plug of the USB memory stick and the power supply pattern, A plurality of receptacles provided with power terminals; And a built-in USB module provided on one side of the main body case and having a controller unit for controlling data input / output of each USB memory stick connected through the receptacle and a memory unit for storing data, .

However, the above-mentioned prior art discloses a technique for interlocking a plurality of USB memory devices into one memory plug, which is a problem in that a micro pin plug can not be used together.

In addition, Korean Patent No. 10-0957692 entitled " Mobile Communication Terminal Connected to USB Device Through Multi-gender and Multi-gender "

The above-mentioned prior art has a first gender for connecting the receptacle of the mobile communication terminal and the connector of the external device in a signal-wise manner, and a second gender for coupling the receptacle of the mobile communication terminal and the USB storage device And 20 pin or 18 pin of the mobile communication terminal is compatible with the 24 pin connector as well as being connectable to the USB storage device without a separate cable, A technique for managing and executing a file in the USB storage device is proposed.

Furthermore, there is a prior art disclosed in Korean Utility Model No. 20-2010-0011150, " Peripheral Device Simplified by Combining Data Communication Cable and Conversion Gender "

The above-mentioned prior art discloses a technique of connecting a conversion gender and a data communication cable so that the volume itself is small and easy to carry, and a USB and a micro pin can be used by a conversion gender.

However, the above-described conventional technique is capable of connecting both the USB and the second plug using a separate gender, and it is inconvenient to use the conversion gender and can not be used when the gender is lost.

In addition, there is a conventional USB storage device with a multi plug, which is disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0329834,

The USB storage device includes a first plug, a control unit, and a memory. The USB storage device is connected to the information terminal device and transmits /

The first plug may include a plurality of USB plugs to be compatible with the type of the USB socket provided in the information terminal apparatus and may be provided in an information terminal apparatus such as a PC, a notebook, an MP3 player, a digital camera, A USB storage device having a multi-plug regardless of the type of a specific USB socket is proposed.

However, in the case where a plurality of plugs are provided in one direction in a storage device having various types of plugs, there is a problem that such a plug breaks due to a cable being connected to the device body, And there is a problem that the user is inconvenienced by the cable even when carrying it.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems,

And the second plug can be pulled out to the first plug by the projecting means so that the second plug does not protrude when the first plug is used and the portability can be improved.

Further, since the first plug has four terminals on one or both sides of the first plug, when the multi-type connector is connected to the receptacle, in particular, if the plug is provided on both sides,

Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-type connector in which a reinforcing plate is provided at the front of the first plug to reinforce the strength of the first plug to improve durability.

In order to achieve the above object, a multi-type connector according to the present invention includes:

main body;

A first plug provided at one side of the main body and connected to the first receptacle;

A second plug provided at one side of the main body and connected to the second receptacle;

And protruding means for selectively protruding the first plug or the second plug,

And the second plug is inserted into the first plug by the protruding means.

As described above, the multi-type connector according to the present invention is provided with a first plug and a second plug in one direction of the main body, and the first plug and the second plug are selectively protruded to prevent mutual interference when the first plug and the second plug are used. So that it is possible to use both the computer and the mobile device, thereby improving the ease of use.

Further, the second plug is provided so as to be capable of being pulled out to and from the first plug by the protruding means, so that there is no protruding cable, which is also convenient for carrying, and there is no problem that the cable is disconnected.

In addition, since four terminals electrically connected to one or both surfaces of the first plug are provided, when the first plug is provided on both sides,

The reinforcing plate is provided in front of the first plug to increase the strength of the reinforcing plate which is weakened by the insertion of the second plug, thereby improving the durability of the reinforcing plate.
