Abstract

The invention relates to an external module, an electronic device and a method for driving the external module, wherein the electronic device comprises a host computer and a plurality of external modules; each external module is suitable for being detachably connected to the electronic device, and comprises a main body, a first connector, a movement subassembly and a second connector; the main body comprises a plurality of docking ports; the first connector is fixedly arranged at one docking port; the electronic device is suitable for being electrically connected to the first connector to provide power to the external module, so as to drive the movement subassembly; the movement subassembly is arranged inside the main body; the second connector is assembled to the movement subassembly and electrically connected to the first connector; the movement subassembly drives the second connector to convert between the docking ports, and the docking port, at which the second connector is positioned, is different from the docking port at which the first connector is positioned.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to an external module, and in particular to an external module with a movable connector. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of science and technology, the use of computers by modern people has become more and more common, and the functions of computers have become more and more diversified. In order to allow users to quickly and conveniently enhance the computer performance or increase its functions, the host computer has a bus expansion portion, such as AGP bus slot, PCI bus expansion slot , Universal Serial Bus expansion pin set (USB expansion pin set) or Thunderbolt bus expansion slot. [0003] Generally speaking, multiple bus connectors are originally provided on the host to connect to interface devices, such as a mouse, printer, scanner, or external hard disk. However, not all bus connectors meet the current needs of users. Therefore, with the diversification of computer-supported interface devices, the number of b...
