The present invention provides a one way safety charging cable for bag and luggage having a bag or luggage body (1000), a cable (604) with at least one male connector (600) and at least one female connector (602), a sheath (1002) fixed on the body (1000) to receive the female connector (602) of the cable, and retained above the outer surface of the body (1000), wherein the male connector (600) is retained inside of the body adjacent to a power source placing space (e.g. 2306), wherein inside of the male connector there is a pull-down resistor (1100) in regular standard between 45-60 kΩ (around 56 KΩ) and a pull-up resistor (1102) between 4.5 kg and 12 KΩ, and at least 4 Diodes (1104), forming a special one way cable for output non input function to avoid the risk of overcharging and overheating of the power source inside of the body. The purpose of adding the 4× Diodes: Rectifier circuit, detection circuit, voltage regulation circuit, is so that all the current can not pass, so that the external charger can not charge-in through this cable. The female connector may have a regular USB output port (606) and a type C output port (608). As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 8, and 9, the regular USB output port and the type C output port are settled in one female connector and their distance is at least 1 mm. It is critical that the distance is at least 1 mm so that the current can not pass through. As shown in FIG. 15, the male connector may be a regular USB input port (1500) and a type C input port (1502). FIG. 15 depicts a stacked female connector configuration (regular USB port on the bottom and type C port on the top in a single unit) and a split male connector.

FIGS. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 depict a Cable with one Type-C male connector and two types of female connector (one way charging). FIGS. 12, 13 and 14 depicts a cable with one Type-C male connector and two types of female connectors (one way charging). FIGS. 15, 16 and 17 depict a cable with two types of male connectors and two types of female connectors (one way charging). FIGS. 18, 19 and 20 depict a cable with type C male connectors and type C female connectors (one way charging). The female connector (602) is in a shape and size matching the sheath on the body. This is to say the female connector may be slightly smaller than the sheath and can fit inside of the sheath which then attaches the female connector to the luggage body. As can be seen in FIG. 10, the female connector may sit inside the sheath and may be in communication with or above the outer surface of the body (1000).

As shown in FIGS. 23, 24, 25 and 26, the body may have a cable laying channel for the cable getting through the outer surface of the body to the inside of the body. The external cable (2300) is plugged into the output port of the female end of the cable female connector. The cable (2302) with the male connector (2304) plugged into a power source in a power source placing space (2306). The power source placing space (2306) as shown is a pocket to hold a battery or a power bank. There may be at least two exits (2500) on the body (2502) between the two ends of cable laying channel to let the male connector (2504) and female connector (2506) get through. There may also be an opening (2404) that is provided on the cable laying channel of the body for convenient replacement of the cable (2400). There may be a channel closing or opening accessory (e.g. zipper) provided on the opening (2404) of the cable laying channel. There may also be an external connecting cable having a male end, wherein the male end of the external cable is plugged into the output port of the female end of the cable female connector. There may be a second outer surface (2600) that covers the outer surface of the body. In this way there may be an outer pocket that can hold and protect the device to be charged and the protect the sheath (2602). In this case the outer surface of the body is the inside of the pocket.

A one way safety charging cable for bag and luggage, comprising, a bag or luggage body, a cable with at least one male connector and one female connector, a sheath fixed on the body to receive the female connector of the cable, and retained above the outer surface of the body, wherein the male connector is retained inside of the body, adjacent to a power source placing space, wherein the female connector is contained a master integrated circuit (2100) inside, controlling the charging port (female connector) to be a special one way charging, forming the cable for output non input function, to avoid the risk of overcharging and overheating of the power source inside of the body. The integrated circuit is equipped with a current-sensing sensor, which manages the current output to the female connector only, and sends a command to disconnect the current connection as soon as there is current input to the male connector.

According to one embodiment, the female connector is a regular USB output port and a type C output port (e.g. 602). According to some embodiments (as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 8 and 9 by way of example), the regular USB output port and the type C output port are settled in one female connector, and their distance is at least 1 mm. The distance is critical to prevent the current from passing through. This is the distance to make the user can use two external cable to connect the both USB and Type C female connector to charge their two device at the same time, because the external cable connector with thickness, to have two together will need some distance.

The female connector is in a shape and size that matches the sheath on the body. The female connector may have a shape (300, 800) which may be a plastic wrap, cover or a case surrounding the female connectors to contain and protect them, while allowing them to sit inside the sheath. FIG. 10 depicts the female connector (1000) sitting inside the sheath (1002) from a bottom view. The sheath may also have a bottom surround portion (1650) that allows the sheath to be attached to the body and maintain the female connector above the outer surface of the body. This is important as it allows the female connector to be easy to plug into as it is above the outer surface of the body.

The integrated circuit (2100) inside of the female connector may be a wireless module, configured to connect with a mobile phone to control and check the charging status, or to track the bag or luggage. The wireless module may be is a Bluetooth module.

FIGS. 27, 28 and 29 depicts male connector with a regular USB end (2900) and a type C connector end (2902). The design concept of this TYPE-C charging protection cable is to make it more safe and reliable for consumers to use. A unidirectional transistor (2800) is added to the TYPE-C male to prevent power bank explosions caused by mismatched chargers charging the power bank. At the same time, the reasonable layout of unidirectional transistors also ensures stability during the conduction process of the extension line. The wire of this product may be made of TPE material, which is resistant to bending; Soft and silky to the touch, not prone to overheating.

The specific embodiments above are only detailed explanation on the technical solutions of the utility model, and the utility model is not limited only by the embodiments above. Any improvement or replacement based on the principle of the utility model shall be within the protection scope defined in claims of the utility model.
