Magnetic data cable

Abstract

A magnetic data cable includes a cable body and data connectors. The data connectors are respectively connected to two ends of the cable body. The cable body includes a cable core and a wrapping material layer wrapped around the cable core. At least one layer of the wrapping material layer is a magnetic material layer. When the magnetic data cable is wound into coils, each two adjacent coils arranged from top to bottom or each two adjacent coils arranged from left to right are magnetically attracted to each other by the magnetic material layer. Since the magnetic material layer is integrally distributed in the wrapping material layer, so the cable body 100 is magnetic and it is easy and simple to adjust a diameter of the coils by winding.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(6) Technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

(7) Reference herein to “embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with one embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. The appearances of the “embodiment” in various positions in the specification are not necessarily referring to the same embodiment, and are not independent or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. Those skilled in the art explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

Embodiment 1

(8) As shown in FIG. 1, which shows a magnetic data cable according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure.

(9) The magnetic data cable comprises a cable body 100 and data connectors 6. The data connectors are respectively connected to two ends of the cable body. The cable body 100 comprises a cable core 1 and a wrapping material layer 2 wrapped around the cable core 1. At least one layer of the wrapping material layer 2 is a magnetic material layer 3.

(10) In the embodiment, the magnetic material layer 3 is directly wrapped around an outer side of the cable core 1. The magnetic material layer is formed by extruding and molding of a mixture of plastic and magnetic powder. The wrapping material layer 2 further comprises an outer protective layer 5 wrapped around an outer side of the magnetic material layer 3.

(11) In the embodiment, the outer protective layer 5 is a woven mesh layer formed by weaving a braided fabric. The woven mesh layer formed by weaving the braided fabric enhances toughness of the magnetic data cable, which prevents the magnetic data cable from breaking.

(12) In the embodiment, the data connectors 6 are respectively selected from a USB Type-C data connector, a Lightning data connector, or an audio data connector.

Embodiment 2

(13) As shown in FIG. 2, which shows the magnetic data cable according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure. Based on the above embodiment, the wrapping material layer 2 of the cable body 2 further comprises an inner protective layer 4 and an outer protective layer 5. The inner protective layer 4 is wrapped around an outer side of the cable core 1. The magnetic material layer 3 is wrapped around an outer side of the inner protective layer 4. The outer protective layer 5 is wrapped around an outer side of the magnetic material layer 3. The magnetic material layer 3 is formed by extruding and molding of a mixture of plastic and magnetic powder. By arranging the inner protective layer 4 between the cable core 1 and the magnetic material layer 3, when the magnetic data cable is bent, the cable core is protected and is prevented from directly contacting the magnetic material layer 3. Thus, the cable core and the magnetic material layer are prevented from friction, and the magnetic material layer 3 is prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, the outer protective layer 5 is wrapped around an outer side of the magnetic material layer 3, which prevents the magnetic data cable from breaking.

(14) In the embodiment, the data connectors 6 are respectively selected from a USB Type-C data connector, a Lightning data connector, or an audio data connector.

(15) Wound states of the magnetic data cable of the present disclosure is as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. When the magnetic data cable is wound into coils, each two adjacent coils arranged from top to bottom or each two adjacent coils arranged from left to right are magnetically attracted to each other by the magnetic material layer. Since the magnetic material layer is integrally distributed in the wrapping material layer, so the cable body 100 is magnetic and it is easy and simple to adjust a diameter of the coils by winding. On the contrary, a diameter of coils of the conventional magnetic data cable is limited by positions of magnetic portion (or magnet blocks/magnetic rings) in the prior art. It is convenient to adjust the diameter of the coils of the magnetic data cable of the present disclosure after winding for storage.

(16) In actual use, the magnetic data cable provided by the present disclosure can not only be vertically stacked into the coils of a cylinder shape (as shown in FIG. 3), but also can be horizontally stacked into the coils in a tape shape (as shown in FIG. 4), which saves a size of the magnetic data cable, makes the magnetic data cable easy to be stored in a bag, and saves a storage space of the magnetic data cable.
