Figure 1 shows a rotary wireless network card with dual rotary axes according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The rotary wireless network card shown in Figure 1 comprises a wireless network card body 1, an ultrathin USB interface 12, and a first rotary axis 13, wherein the ultrathin USB interface 12 is rotatably connected to the body. 1 of wireless network card through the first rotary axis 13, An opening is provided in the top of the wireless network card body 1 to house the ultrathin USB interface 12 when retracted, and the ultrathin USB interface 12 can be extended out of, or returned back to, the opening by rotating around the first rotary shaft 13. The wireless network card body 1 comprises a USB head, a main body, a signal lamp, a check hole, a trim piece, and other existing components.

As shown in Fig. 1, the wireless network card body 1 disclosed in the present description is U-shaped. The U-shaped body 1 differs from the prior art in that it has a part that extends inwardly (specifically, in a folding direction) at the opening in the upper part of the body and that it has a second rotary axis 11 which it is disposed in the opening of the wireless network card body 1 and housed outside and connected to the ultrathin USB interface 12. A slide rail 14 is arranged to coincide with the second rotary axis 11 within the U-shaped wireless network card body 1.

Referring to Figure 1a, when in use, the ultrathin USB interface 12 can be rotated around the first rotary axis 13 to open and for easy use angle. Referring to Fig. 1b, after being used, the ultra-thin USB interface 12 can be inserted, together with the second rotary axis 11, into the U-shaped wireless network card body 1, then the ultra-thin USB interface 12 will be in a closed state; this helps

In combination with the rotation around the first rotary axis 13 as shown in figure 2, the ultrathin USB interface 12 can be rotated any degree with respect to the wireless network card body 1 to effectively avoid various interfaces of a small computer. laptop and allow a user to simultaneously use various functions of the small laptop.

Figure 4 shows a wireless network card with an integrated extension cable according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 4, a rotary shaft bearing 15 is arranged on the wireless network card body 1 to connect the second rotary shaft 11 to the wireless network card body 1. An integrated extension cable 16 is arranged between the second rotary shaft 11 and the rotary shaft bearing 15 to allow the use of the ultrathin USB interface 12 independently of the wireless network card body 1 via the integrated extension cable 16.

Referring to Figure 4, the integrated extension cord is wound on a cable winder 17 and can be pulled and retracted by rotating about a rotary axis of the cable winder 17. The cable winder 17 is fixed to the wireless network card body 1 through the rotary shaft bearing 15. When the ultrathin USB interface 12 is rotated around the second rotary axis 11 to an angle in the range of 90 degrees to 270 degrees (only in this range the ultrathin USB interface 12 can be released from the U-shaped Wireless network card body 1 ), the second rotary axis 11 and the ultra-thin USB interface 12 can be removed from the rotary axis support, and then the rotary shaft of the cable winder can be rotated with a pulling force to allow the integrated and positioned extension cable 16 to be pulled out for use. In the embodiment of the present description, the cable winder 17 may be provided with a locking mechanism that allows the integrated extension cord to be removed when a pulling force greater than the drag force generated by the locking mechanism is applied. and then position the integrated extension cord 16 when it is pulled out. If you want to retract the integrated extension cable 16 after use, the integrated extension cable 16 is pulled out once more and then loosened to release the locked cable positioning point, so that the rotary axis of the winder 17 The cable winder can be reversely rotated to retract the integrated extension cable 16 back to the cable winder 17. The above operation is repeated if a next use is required.

With the above arrangement of the integrated extension cable, after taking out the integrated extension cable, the user can position the wireless network card body 1 in an optimal position for signals, and insert the ultra-thin USB interface 12 into a USB port of a small laptop for your use. Since the ultra-thin 12 USB interface is used by connecting it to! Wireless network card body 1 by means of a connection cable, its connection to a PC computer does not affect the normal plug-in / unplug operation and the use of other adjacent interfaces.

In summary, the swivel design of the swiveling ultrathin USB interface in the present disclosure avoids an easy cap to lose and effectively protects the USB from damage. The rotary design of the dual rotary shafts allows a second rotation of the USB rotary axis relative to the wireless network card body, effectively avoiding interference with other interfaces due to the width of a USB network card. By means of the integrated extension cable, the rotary axis of the USB interface can be removed from the second rotary axis support for use when the second rotary axis is rotated to an arbitrary angle in the range of 90 degrees to 270 degrees. The integrated extension cable arrangement reduces cost and avoids the addition of an accessory USB extension cable and also the loss of an accessory USB extension cable; The built-in extension cord is convenient to carry and use and can be pulled out and lengthened by external force and winding line automatically; user can freely position the wireless network card to find an optimal signal point to use the wireless network card; And the integrated extension cable allows the use of the wireless network card away from people, thus reducing radiation to people.
