Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of expansion docks, in particular to a data line extender. Background Art

[0002] The port is the "window" for connecting laptops to external devices. With the continuous increase of external devices, more and better ports are needed. However, due to the size limitation of laptops, the ports they are equipped with are extremely limited in both type and quantity, which can hardly meet people's needs. Therefore, it is necessary to connect expansion ports through data cables to greatly improve the expandability of laptops.

[0003] A docking station, also known as a port replicator, is an external device designed specifically for laptop computers. By duplicating or even extending the ports of a laptop, it allows a convenient one-stop connection between the laptop and multiple accessories or external devices (such as a power adapter, network cable, mouse, external keyboard, printer, and external monitor).

[0004] In the prior art, a plurality of USB sockets are evenly arranged on the expansion dock for plugging in the expansion data cable. However, the distance between two adjacent USB sockets is relatively close. When plugging in the two adjacent USB sockets, interference is easy to occur, resulting in a situation where one data cable cannot be plugged in after the other data cable is plugged in.

[0007] A positioning groove is provided on the surface of the expander body, and a positioning seat is fixedly installed on the bottom of the expander body. Meanwhile, a wire is fixedly installed on the expander body, and a USB socket is fixedly installed on the end of the wire.

[0008] Preferably, a center hole is opened in the middle of the expander body, and the expander body is a regular octahedron structure, and the cross-section of the center hole is a regular octagon.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning grooves are evenly arranged in three groups on the surface of the expander body, and the positioning seats are evenly installed in three groups on the bottom of the expander body. At the same time, the expander body and the expander body are stacked together and positioned and plugged through three groups of positioning grooves and positioning seats.

[0010] Preferably, the three groups of positioning grooves and the three groups of positioning seats are all centrally symmetrical structures about the central end of the expander body, and the sizes of the positioning grooves and the positioning seats are matched.

[0011] Preferably, the positioning seat is inserted into the positioning groove, and both the positioning groove and the positioning seat are arc-shaped structures, and the length of the positioning seat is equal to the depth of the positioning groove.
