UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS CONNECTING DEVICE

Abstract

A universal serial bus connecting device is provided, including a first housing, a second housing, a connector, and second pins. The second housing, movably disposed at one side of the first housing, has a first opening located at one side of the second housing far from the first housing. The connector includes a substrate inserted in the second housing, and four first pins embedded in the substrate. The four second pins are disposed within the second housing. Each second pin is electrically connected to the corresponding first pin. When the connector is accommodated within the second housing, the connector and the second housing form a receptacle. When the second housing is moved to make the connector protrude from the first opening, the connector and the second housing form a plug.

Claims

1. A USB connecting device, comprising: a first housing;a second housing, movably disposed at one side of the first housing, wherein a first opening is located at one side of the second housing far from the first housing;a connector, inserted in the second housing, comprising: a substrate, inserted in the second housing;four first pins, embedded in the substrate; andfour second pins, disposed within the second housing, wherein the second pins are electrically and correspondingly connected to the first pins respectively,wherein when the connector is accommodated within the second housing, the connector and the second housing form a receptacle, and when the second housing is moved to make the connector protrude from the first opening, the connector and the second housing form a plug.

2. The USB connecting device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a circuit board, disposed within the first housing, wherein the first pins are connected to a circuit of the circuit board.

3. The USB connecting device as claimed in claim 2, further comprising: a third pin, disposed on the first housing or the second housing, suitable for providing a signal to the circuit board, so as to determine whether the connector and the second housing function as the plug or the receptacle.

4. The USB connecting device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a controller, connected to the second housing, suitable for driving the second housing to move along a moving path, thereby making the connector protrude from the first opening or be accommodated within the second housing.

5. The USB connecting device as claimed in claim 4, wherein one surface of the first housing further has a second opening, and the controller is connected to the second housing through the second opening.

6. The USB connecting device as claimed in claim 4, wherein the controller is a button, and the first housing is connected to the second housing via a spring.

7. The USB connecting device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: a fixture, disposed on the first housing, suitable for limiting the position of the second housing.
