Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of docking station technology, specifically a novel modular docking station. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of mobile office and multi-device collaboration, traditional docking stations, due to their fixed interfaces, large size, and limited compatibility, are unable to meet users' personalized needs. For example, thin and light laptops often face difficulties in expansion due to their simplified interfaces, and users need to carry multiple dedicated adapters, which not only increases the burden but also shortens the lifespan of the devices due to frequent plugging and unplugging. Therefore, modular docking stations are one of the essential tools in office scenarios.

[0003] Existing docking stations have complex structures and unreasonable designs. In actual use, when a thin and light laptop needs to be moved to a desired location, the docking station needs to be stowed away at the same time. However, the docking station has a lot of data cables inside, so more time is spent on stowing the data cables. To address this problem, the inventors designed a new type of modular docking station.
