Description

Cap structure

The present invention provides a cap structure for a flash drive, and in particular, a cap is placed in contact with the carrier and the housing to provide a connection piece, so that the cap does not have the risk of being lost, and the flash drive can be ensured. The inner circuit board and contacts can achieve the purpose of dust and dirt.

3C electronic products continue to innovate and improve, especially the computer peripheral electronic devices correspond to different levels of computer needs, and need to develop more new electronic products to meet these needs, and the flash drive is born in response to large-capacity data storage and portability. The connector specifications of the flash drive are USB TYPE A, USB TYPE C, USB Micro B or Lightning. These connection specifications can be used for computers (PCs), notebooks (Notebooks), and smart phones (Smartphones). Tablet PCs, so the pen drive can be used in a wide range of applications, making it easy to carry large amounts of electronic data.

Generally, the flash drive is used to prevent the circuit board and contacts in the male plug from being contaminated by external dust and dirt, and thus the telecommunications connection is poor. A cap cover is placed on the outside of the male plug to achieve dustproof and antifouling. The purpose, but the cap of the general pen drive is a separate component, and there is no connection with the body of the pen drive. When the pen drive is inserted into the connector base of the electronic device, the cap must be taken below to achieve the same, but The cap is easy to place anywhere, waiting for the flash drive When you look for the cap again after the storage is completed, there may be cases where you can't find it. However, some of the pen drive products are provided with a protruding structure at the tail of the body so that the cap can be temporarily coupled to the protruding structure. Even so, it is impossible to prevent the careless user from actually engaging the cap with the tail of the flash drive. Therefore, there is still the risk of losing the cap. Regarding the aforementioned shortcomings, it is still to be improved by those in this industry.

Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned lack of inconvenience and inconvenience is the direction that the relevant industry is eager to study and improve.

Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems and deficiencies, the creators have collected relevant information, and through multi-party assessment and consideration, and through years of experience in the industry, through continuous trial and modification, the cap of such a portable disc was designed. The new type of structure was born.

The main purpose of the cap structure of the portable disc is to provide a carrier having an accommodating space, the accommodating space is provided with a circuit board, and the circuit board is electrically connected at least with a pair of plugs, and then provides a shell The body is coupled with the carrier, and a cap is provided, the outer portion of which is fixed to one end of the flexible connecting piece, and the other end of the connecting piece is fixed to the carrier and the shell Between the bodies, the cap is slidably covered on the outside of the mating plug to form a cap structure of the present invention, since the cap is in a state of being connected to the carrier and the housing through the connecting piece Therefore, the cap will not be lost, and the circuit board and the contacts in the flash drive can be protected against dust and dirt.

The secondary purpose of the present invention is that the carrier has a limit frame corresponding to the docking plug, and the housing is provided with a limiting wall corresponding to the docking plug, and the docking plug is placed in the limiting frame. In the space formed by the limit wall.

Another purpose of the creation is that one side of the limit frame of the carrier is further provided with a a groove portion for accommodating and moving a connecting piece on the side of the limiting wall of the housing, so that the cap is rotated to be engaged or disengaged from the limiting frame and the The opposite side of the limit wall.
