Connector, charging cable, and electronic device

A connector, characterized by comprising:

• a terminal and a bracket, an interface is provided on one side of the terminal, and each of the two ends of the side of the terminal opposite to the interface is rotatably connected with one of the brackets, the brackets are configured to rotate to be stored on the side of the terminal opposite to the interface, or to rotate outward to form a supporting structure;
• wherein the terminal further comprises an electrical connection structure and a housing, the housing surrounding the electrical connection structure, and the interface being connected to the electrical connection structure and exposed on one side of the housing;
• the bracket comprises a rotating portion and a supporting portion, and through-holes are formed at both ends of the housing corresponding to the rotating portion of each bracket, wherein part of the rotating portion passes through the through-holes into the interior of the terminal and is rotatably connected to the terminal;
• a boss is provided on the rotating portion of at least one of the brackets, and a groove corresponding to the boss is formed on the housing;
• when the rotating portion drives the supporting portion to rotate and unfold relative to the housing, the boss is driven to slide from a first end of the groove to a second end of the groove, and to abut against the groove wall at the second end;
• a rotating shaft is provided on the rotating portion, the rotating portion penetrating into the interior of the housing through the rotating shaft and being rotatably connected to the housing, and the boss being disposed around the rotating shaft;
• positioning protrusions are arranged around the rotating shaft on the rotating portion, and a set of positioning slots is correspondingly provided on the housing for each positioning protrusion, each set of positioning slots comprising two positioning slots arranged at an angle with respect to the corresponding rotating shaft;
• when each bracket moves from a stored state to a rotated and unfolded state, the positioning protrusion on each bracket moves from one of the positioning slots in the corresponding set of positioning slots on the housing to the other positioning slot in the same set, the positioning protrusion, the rotating shaft, and the boss on the rotating portion are linearly arranged;
• the connector further comprises a threaded member and an elastic member, wherein the rotating shaft is hollow, the threaded member passes through the through-hole into the interior of the rotating shaft and is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating shaft;
• the through-hole comprises a first hole and a second hole communicating with the first hole, the diameter of the first hole being larger than that of the second hole, and the rotating shaft passing from the second hole into the first hole;
• an elastic member is sleeved over the rotating shaft within the second hole, with both ends of the elastic member respectively abutting against the threaded member and the bottom wall of the second hole;
• when the bracket rotates, the elastic member allows the bracket to move along a compression direction of the elastic member, driving the positioning protrusion to disengage from a current positioning slot and move to another positioning slot, and after the elastic member expands, the positioning protrusion is driven to engage with the another positioning slot.
