Description

Complete cable structure

The present invention relates to a cable structure, and more particularly to a cable structure suitable for a cable such as a power line, a signal line or a transmission line, which can be wound into a disk-like complete line.

Due to the large number of electrical equipment and portable consumer electronic products, the power transmission of each electrical equipment and the power supply or data transmission of various consumer electronic products are carried out through a variety of cables. However, due to the diversified types of cables, people are more and more inconvenient to store or organize them. In particular, for long cable lengths, such as inconvenient storage, limited storage space, and inconvenient use. Causes many users troubles. In view of this, how to solve the problems of cable confusing and inconvenient storage has become one of the urgent problems that the relevant industry has to solve.

One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a cable structure that can be wound into a disk-like complete line.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a wire-wound cable structure comprising at least one core and an insulating layer. The core is used to transfer power or/and electrical signals. The insulating layer covers the core to prevent the core from being electrically connected to the outside. The insulating layer has a corresponding at least one groove portion and at least one convex portion, wherein the shape of the groove portion is the same as the shape of the convex portion, so that the convex portion is positioned at the groove portion.

The present invention also has the following effects. The cable structure preferably uses a plurality of concave portions and a corresponding number of convex portions on the opposite sides of the insulating layer, so that the convex portions are positioned on the respective concave portions and can be continuously collected along the length of the insulating layer. Rolled into a disc shape for easy storage and finishing. Therefore, the cable structure of the present invention can effectively reduce the storage volume, occupy a small space, facilitate collection, and it is convenient and systematic to organize and reuse.

In addition, the creation also includes a first connector and a second connector connecting the two ends of the cable structure. The first connector and the second connector further have an insulating base, a plug interface protruding from the insulating base, and a protective sleeve extending from one end of the insulating base. The protective sleeve and the insulating seat body are integrally formed, which can increase the strength and waterproof effect of the protective insulating layer bending and not breaking.

The detailed description and technical content of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings, but the drawings are only for reference and explanation, and are not intended to limit the creation.

However, in other different embodiments, the groove portion 122 and the convex portion 124 may also be disposed on the corresponding two short sides, as needed. The shape of the groove portion 122 as shown in the drawing is preferably an arcuate groove or a semi-circular arc groove, and the shape of the convex portion 124 is an arcuate ridge or a semicircular ridge. However, in other different embodiments, the shape of the groove portion 122 may also be a rectangular shape or other suitable shape, and the convex portion 124 may be rectangular or other corresponding shape to be positioned and engaged with each other.

In the present embodiment, the number of the groove portions 122 or the convex portions 124 is preferably two or more, respectively, to increase the effect of the positioning and the limit engagement. The number of the cores 110 may be eight or more of the first joints 130 or the second joints 140 to be used, which are juxtaposed in a straight line distributed in the insulating layer 120. However, in other embodiments, the core 110 is disposed in the insulating layer 120 in a double row or three rows, and is not limited.

Further, the core portion 110 in this embodiment is preferably a single core wire. However, in other different embodiments, the core wire 110 may also be a combination of a twisted wire or a twisted wire and a single core wire, and is not limited.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , a first joint 130 and a second joint 140 connecting the two ends of the cable structure 100 are further included. The first connector 130 of this embodiment is preferably a Lighting connector having only 8 contact terminals on the upper surface for connection with Apple's handheld consumer electronics. The second connector 140 can be a USB Type A, a USB Type C or other USB interface connector. However, in other different embodiments, the first connector 130 and the second connector 140 may also be selected from the following connectors, such as IEEE 1394, HDMI, Display Port, Thunderbolt, fiber optic connectors, or other I/O connectors.

In addition, the first connector 130 and the second connector 140 further have an insulating base 132, 142, a plug interface 134, 144 protruding from the insulating base 132, 142, and a protection extending from one end of the insulating base 132, 142. Set 136, 146. As described above, the first connector 130 of the present embodiment is preferably a plug interface that conforms to the Lighting specification interface, and the second connector 140 is a plug interface that conforms to the USB Type A, a USB Type C, or other USB interface. The protective sleeves 136 and 146 are preferably integrally formed with the insulating bases 132 and 142, and can increase the strength and waterproof effect of the protective insulating layer 120 when the bending is not broken.

The cable structure 100 of the present embodiment is preferably provided with a plurality of recesses 122 and a corresponding number of protrusions 124 on the opposite sides of the insulating layer 120, so that the protrusions 124 are positioned on the recesses 122 and can be along the insulating layer 120. The length is continuously rolled into a disc shape for easy storage and finishing. Therefore, the cable structure 100 of the present invention can effectively reduce the storage volume, occupy a small space, facilitate collection, and is convenient and systematic to organize and reuse.

In summary, the embodiments disclosed herein are to be considered as illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The scope of this creation is defined by the scope of the appended patent application and covers its legal equivalents and is not limited to the foregoing description.
