Electronic connection device
View Patent ↗An electronic connection device for electrically connecting two electronic devices to each other includes a connection unit for electrically connecting the two electronic devices to each other and a receiving unit. The connection unit includes a data cable. The receiving unit includes a main body and a sleeve barrel. The sleeve barrel is detachably assembled to the main body and receives the main body therein. The data cable is coiled on the sleeve barrel when the sleeve barrel assembled to the main body and is coiled on the main body when the sleeve barrel is detached.
1. An electronic connection device for electrically connecting two electronic devices to each other, comprising:
a connection unit for electrically connecting the two electronic devices to each other, the connection unit including a data cable; and
a receiving unit, the receiving unit including a main body and a sleeve barrel, the sleeve barrel detachably assembled to the main body and receiving the main body therein, the data cable coiled on the sleeve barrel when the sleeve barrel assembled to the main body and coiled on the main body when the sleeve barrel is detached;
wherein the sleeve barrel is a hollow cylinder and defines a receiving groove therein, the receiving groove opening on at least one end of the sleeve barrel; and the receiving unit further includes two retaining mechanisms mounted on the main body, the retaining mechanisms received in the receiving groove when the sleeve barrel receives the main body therein.
2. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the receiving unit further includes a base connected to the main body, the base being a suction cup for fixing the receiving unit.
3. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body is a hollow cylinder.
4. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each retaining mechanism includes two elastic retaining members mounted on the main body, the two retaining member bent to contact each other to form a retaining space between the two retaining members.
5. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the connection unit includes two connectors respectively connected to two ends of the data cable, the two ends of the data cable respectively received in the retaining spaces of the two retaining mechanisms, the two mechanisms respectively prevent the two connectors from passing through their retaining space, thereby preventing the connection unit from separating from the receiving unit.
6. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the two connectors are audio plugs.
7. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the two connectors are universal serial bus (USB) connectors.
8. An electronic connection device for electrically connecting two electronic devices to each other, comprising:
a connection unit for electrically connecting the two electronic devices to each other, the connection unit including a data cable; and
a receiving unit, the receiving unit including a main body having a less outer diameter and a sleeve barrel having a larger outer diameter, the sleeve barrel detachably assembled to the main body and receiving the main body therein, the data cable coiled on the sleeve barrel; wherein when the sleeve barrel is detached, the data cable is coiled on the main body, and two ends of the data cable extend from the main body due to a part of the data cable coiled on the main body being shorter than a part of the data cable coiled on the sleeve barrel;
wherein the sleeve barrel is a hollow cylinder and defines a receiving groove therein, the receiving groove opening on at least one end of the sleeve barrel; and the receiving unit further includes two retaining mechanisms mounted on the main body, the retaining mechanisms received in the receiving groove when the sleeve barrel receives the main body therein.
9. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the receiving unit further includes a base connected to the main body, the base being a suction cup for fixing the receiving unit.
10. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the main body is a hollow cylinder.
11. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each retaining mechanism includes two elastic retaining members mounted on the main body, the two retaining member bent to contact each other to form a retaining space between the two retaining members.
12. The electronic connection device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the connection unit includes two connectors respectively connected to the two ends of the data cable, the two ends of the data cable respectively received in the retaining spaces of the two retaining mechanisms, the two mechanisms respectively prevent the two connectors from passing through their retaining space, thereby preventing the connection unit from separating from the receiving unit.
