Abstract

An electronic device connection system has a cable, a cable connector, and an electronic device. The electronic device has a socket. When the cable connector is mounted through the socket, the cable is electrically connected to the electronic device. The cable connector has a casing, a resilient latch, and a pulling member. The casing forms a protrusion and a first engaged opening. The resilient latch forms a hooked opening and a first hook. The protrusion can be engaged in the hooked opening, and the first hook can be engaged in the first engaged opening so the resilient latch is firmly fixed on the casing. Thus, the resilient latch may not be separated from the casing when a user pulls the pulling member, which ensures that the casing will be detached from the socket when the pulling member is pulled.

Claims (43)

1. A cable connector sleeved on a cable, and comprising:

a casing sleeved on a first end of the cable and comprising:

an outer wall;

at least one protrusion formed on the outer wall of the casing; and

at least one first engaged opening formed on the outer wall of the casing;

a resilient latch securely mounted on the casing and comprising:

a first sheet securely mounted on the casing and comprising:

at least one hooked opening configured to be disposed around and engaged with the at least one protrusion; and

at least one first hook configured to be received and engaged in the at least one first engaged opening;

a second sheet spaced apart from the first sheet and comprising:

a detachment structure; and

a connection portion elastically and bendably connecting the first sheet and the second sheet; and

a pulling member connected to the detachment structure and comprising:

a connecting belt comprising a first end and a second end opposite each other, the first end of the connecting belt connected to the second sheet; and

a pull-loop securely mounted on the second end of the connecting belt.

2. The cable connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the at least one first hook of the resilient latch is a plate and defines:

a first direction being a normal direction of the plate; wherein the first direction is perpendicular to an insertion direction of the cable connector.

3. The cable connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the at least one protrusion of the casing forms:

an engaging surface being one surface, away from the pulling member, of the protrusion; the engaging surface configured to abut an inner edge of the hooked opening of the resilient latch and defining:

a second direction being a normal direction of the engaging surface; wherein the second direction is parallel with an insertion direction of the cable connector.

4. The cable connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the at least one protrusion of the casing forms:

a guiding surface being one surface, close to the pulling member, of the protrusion; the guiding surface being inclined with respect to an insertion direction of the cable connector.

5. The cable connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in an insertion direction of the cable connector, the at least one protrusion is located in front of the at least one first engaged opening.

6. The cable connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the detachment structure of the second sheet comprises:

a beam portion; the first end of the connecting belt wound on the beam portion.

7. The cable connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:

the second sheet comprises:

a main body piece connected to the connection portion and spaced apart from the first sheet; and

the detachment structure includes:

an operation piece; one end of the operation piece securely mounted on the main body piece and another end of the operation piece obliquely extending away from the first sheet; the first end of the connecting belt connected to the operation piece.

8. The cable connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first sheet comprises:

a through hole; the connecting belt passing through the through hole from a surface, away from the second sheet, of the first sheet and then the first end of the connecting belt connected to the second sheet.

9. An electronic device connection system comprising:

a cable;

the cable connector as claimed in claim 1 securely mounted on an end of the cable; and

an electronic device comprising:

a socket, the cable connector detachably mounted through the socket; the cable and the electronic device electrically connected to each other when the cable connector is mounted through the socket.

10. The electronic device connection system as claimed in claim 9 , wherein:

the socket comprises:

at least one second engaged opening; and

the second sheet of the cable connector further comprises:

at least one second hook extending away from the first sheet;

the at least one second hook configured to be received and engaged in the at least one second engaged opening.
