[0001] This invention relates to the field of docking station structure technology, and more particularly to a portable multi-purpose wireless projection docking station. Background Technology

[0002] A docking station, also known as a port replicator, is an external device designed specifically for laptops. By replicating or even expanding the ports of a laptop, it allows for convenient one-stop connection between the laptop and multiple accessories or external devices (such as power adapters, network cables, mice, external keyboards, printers, and external monitors).

[0003] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, docking stations on the market now offer multiple functions such as wireless signal connection, wireless screen projection, and intelligent playback. However, these multi-functional docking stations tend to be bulky, making them inconvenient to carry. Furthermore, the multiple ports on the docking station can inevitably allow impurities to enter during transport. To address this, a portable multi-purpose wireless screen projection docking station has been developed. It is deformable, unfolding to reveal its multi-functional accessories during use and folding away to seal the ports when carried. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of inconvenience in carrying and inability to close ports in existing multi-functional docking stations, and to propose a portable multi-purpose wireless screen projection docking station.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A portable, multi-purpose wireless projection docking station includes a storage sphere with a circuit control module. The storage sphere consists of an upper sphere and a lower sphere, which are connected by multiple elastic telescopic components. The outer walls of both the upper and lower spheres are connected to protective hemispherical covers via arc-shaped moving components. The storage sphere has a data cable storage port. A multi-functional sphere is located at the bottom of the upper sphere, housing a projection component and a ring-shaped speaker component. A wiring hemisphere is located at the top of the upper sphere, with multiple data interfaces of different types evenly distributed on it. A leg storage port is located at the bottom of the lower sphere, with auxiliary legs connected to the inner wall of the leg storage port via snap-fit ​​components. The protective hemispherical cover has a through-hole adapted to the auxiliary legs. The upper and lower spheres are connected by limiting components.

[0007] Preferably, the elastic telescopic member includes a plurality of cylindrical grooves formed on the opposing surfaces of the upper and lower spheres. Telescopic columns are connected to the cylindrical grooves by limiting rings. The telescopic column at the bottom extends through the telescopic column at the top and is connected to a retaining ring for limiting. The cylindrical grooves and telescopic columns, as well as the telescopic columns themselves, are all connected by elastic springs.

[0008] Preferably, the arc-shaped moving component includes spherical annular grooves corresponding to the positions on the outer walls of the upper and lower spheres, the protective hemispherical cover is fitted on the outer wall of the receiving sphere, and the moving limiting ball connected through its inner wall slides in contact with the spherical annular groove.

[0009] Preferably, the lower sphere has a hemispherical storage opening for storing the multi-functional ball, and the lower sphere has a connecting ball opening that fits into the multi-functional ball. The projection component includes a rectangular opening at the bottom of the multi-functional ball, and a projection device is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular opening via a pivot. The ring-shaped speaker component includes a ring-shaped mounting opening on the outer wall of the multi-functional ball, and a ring-shaped speaker player is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the ring-shaped mounting opening.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the upper sphere has a spherical opening, the inner wall of the spherical opening is connected to the wiring hemisphere via a connecting shaft, and the wiring of the data interface passes through the connecting shaft and is connected to the circuit control module on the housing sphere.

[0011] Preferably, the fastener includes a limiting post disposed on the inner wall of the outrigger storage opening, a spring groove is provided on the auxiliary outrigger, the limiting post passes through the spring groove and is connected to the inner wall of the spring groove through a contact spring, a periodic limiting slot is provided on the inner side wall of the outrigger storage opening, a rectangular opening is provided on the side wall of the auxiliary outrigger, a slider is connected to the inner wall of the rectangular opening through a guide post, a locking post located in the limiting slot is fixedly connected to the slider, and the slider is connected to the inner wall of the rectangular opening through a return spring sleeved on the guide post.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting member includes a rotating locking ring rotatably connected to the edge of the lower sphere, the rotating locking ring having a plurality of L-shaped locking elements evenly arranged on it, and the lower end face of the upper sphere having a locking groove corresponding to the L-shaped locking elements.

[0013] Preferably, the data cable storage port is arranged in a ring shape on the surfaces of the upper and lower spheres, and the sidewall of the data cable storage port is provided with edge points to limit the data cable.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. This solution designs the docking station as a sphere, with an upper and lower sphere that can be folded and unfolded. When in use, it can be unfolded for proper use, and when stored, the docking station can be folded into a sphere for easy carrying.

[0016] 2. When storing the sphere, this solution uses a protective hemispherical cover to close and seal the exposed data interface on the wiring hemisphere, thereby preventing dust from entering the wiring port on the expansion dock when not in use and ensuring the connection of data signals.

[0018] 4. This solution has a simple structure, and the components can be used together or independently. It has functions such as data conversion, data storage, sound output, and wireless projection. When stored, it can effectively store each component and protect each element.

[0029] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1-9 A portable multi-purpose wireless projection dock includes a storage sphere with a circuit control module. The storage sphere is composed of an upper sphere 1 and a lower sphere 2. The circuit control module in the storage sphere has common functions on the market, including but not limited to Bluetooth connection, WiFi connection, data storage, data conversion, Internet of Things interaction and so on.

[0032] The upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2 are connected by multiple elastic telescopic components. Further, the elastic telescopic components include multiple cylindrical grooves 11 formed on the opposite surfaces of the upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2. Telescopic columns 12 are connected to the cylindrical grooves 11 by limiting rings. The telescopic column 12 located at the bottom extends into the telescopic column 12 at the top and is connected to a retaining ring 13 for limiting. The cylindrical grooves 11 and the telescopic columns 12, as well as the telescopic columns 12 and the telescopic columns 12 are all connected by elastic springs.

[0033] The further advantage of adopting the above is that, through the setting of the above elastic telescopic component, when the limiting component is released, the lower ball 2 and the upper ball 1 can automatically unfold into a cylindrical shape under the action of the elastic spring, so that the various components inside can be opened.

[0034] The outer walls of the upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2 are both connected to a protective hemispherical cover 3 by an arc-shaped moving component. Further, the arc-shaped moving component includes a spherical annular groove 14 opened on the outer walls of the upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2 at corresponding positions. The protective hemispherical cover 3 is fitted on the outer wall of the receiving sphere, and the movable limiting ball connected to its inner wall slides in contact with the spherical annular groove 14.

[0035] It should be noted that the spherical annular groove 14 is eccentrically set on both sides of the sphere. The movable limiting ball fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective hemispherical cover 3 is exactly inside the spherical annular groove 14. It can only move within the spherical annular groove 14 and cannot be detached, thus ensuring the connection between the protective hemispherical cover 3 and the sphere.

[0036] The data cable storage port 4 is arranged in a ring on the surface of the upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2. The side wall of the data cable storage port 4 is provided with a ridge point 15 to limit the data cable. The ridge point 15 can ensure that the data cable can be locked when it is stored in the data cable storage port 4. With this design, the space inside the storage sphere can be fully utilized, and the data cable can realize the data connection between the sphere's expansion dock and the outside world.

[0037] The storage sphere is equipped with a data cable storage port 4, and the bottom of the upper sphere 1 is equipped with a multi-functional sphere 5, which is equipped with a screen projection component and a ring speaker component.

[0038] Furthermore, the lower sphere 2 has a hemispherical storage opening 16 for storing the multi-functional sphere 5, and the lower sphere 2 has a connecting sphere opening that fits into the multi-functional sphere 5. The projection component includes a rectangular opening at the bottom of the multi-functional sphere 5, and the inner wall of the rectangular opening is rotatably connected to the projection device 17 via a pivot. The ring-shaped speaker component includes a ring-shaped mounting opening on the outer wall of the multi-functional sphere 5, and the inner wall of the ring-shaped mounting opening is rotatably connected to the ring-shaped speaker player 18.

[0039] It should be noted that the multi-functional ball 5 can rotate freely within the ball port, and all components on the multi-functional ball 5 are connected to the circuit control module, which can be connected by wires.

[0040] The further advantages of adopting the above are: by rotating the ring-shaped speaker 18 to the ring-shaped mounting port on the multi-functional ball 5, it can be ensured that the ring-shaped speaker 18 can play stereo sound from all directions, making the user experience better; the screen projector 17, which is rotatably connected to the rectangular port at the bottom of the multi-functional ball 5 through a pivot, can be stored at the bottom of the multi-functional ball 5 when not in use, thereby achieving the effect of using the screen projector 17 and the ring-shaped speaker 18 alone or in combination.

[0041] The protective hemispherical cover 3 has a through-hole 10 adapted to the auxiliary support leg 9. The upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2 are connected by a limiting member. Further, the limiting member includes a rotating locking ring 26 rotatably connected to the opening of the lower sphere 2. The rotating locking ring 26 is evenly provided with a plurality of L-shaped locking pieces 27. The lower end face of the upper sphere 1 is provided with a locking groove 28 corresponding to the L-shaped locking pieces 27. The locking groove 28 is L-shaped, and its shape can be referred to as Figure 5 Features of lock slot 28 (designated as 'lock groove 28');

[0042] The further advantage of adopting the above is that the setting of the limiting component can realize that when the lower ball 2 and the upper ball 1 approach each other, the L-shaped lock 27 can be moved in the lock groove 28 by rotating the rotating locking ring 26 set on the lower ball 2, thereby locking the lower ball 2 and the upper ball 1, preventing them from opening automatically, realizing the deformation and storage of the entire storage ball, and making it convenient to carry.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] refer to Figure 1-9 The top of the upper sphere 1 is provided with a wiring hemisphere 6, on which multiple data interfaces 7 of different models are evenly distributed. When the wiring hemisphere 6 is stored, it can rotate into the spherical opening 19 on the upper sphere 1, thereby achieving the storage effect and ensuring the sealing effect of the data interfaces 7 when carried. The top of the upper sphere 1 has a spherical opening 19, and the inner wall of the spherical opening 19 is connected to the wiring hemisphere 6 through a connecting shaft 20. The wiring of the data interfaces 7 all passes through the connecting shaft 20 and is connected to the circuit control module on the storage sphere.

[0045] It should be noted that the circuit control module is a common circuit component and system used in wireless screen projection docks. It is a commonly used existing technology. This solution does not design the circuit control module. It only involves the signal connection between the various data interfaces 7, the ring speaker player 18 and the screen projector 17. It is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The outer walls of the upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2 are both connected to a protective hemispherical cover 3 via an arc-shaped moving assembly. The arc-shaped moving assembly includes spherical annular grooves 14 located on the outer walls of the upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2 respectively. The protective hemispherical cover 3 is fitted onto the outer wall of the receiving sphere, and a movable limiting ball connected to its inner wall slides in contact with the spherical annular groove 14. The spherical annular groove 14 is eccentrically located on both sides of the receiving sphere. The movable limiting ball fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective hemispherical cover 3 is exactly inside the spherical annular groove 14 and can only move within the spherical annular groove 14, and cannot be disengaged, thus ensuring the connection between the protective hemispherical cover 3 and the receiving sphere.

[0047] During daily carrying, by bringing the upper sphere 1 and the lower sphere 2 into close contact, the two unfolded hemispheres are combined into a storage sphere. By rotating the protective hemispherical cover 3, the protective hemispherical cover 3 is transferred from the lower sphere 2 to the upper sphere 1, thereby sealing all components on the lower sphere 2 and ensuring the sealing effect of the data interface 7 during carrying.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] refer to Figure 1-9 The bottom of the lower sphere 2 is provided with a support leg storage opening 8. The inner wall of the support leg storage opening 8 is connected to an auxiliary support leg 9 by a buckle. By providing auxiliary support legs 9 around the bottom of the lower sphere 2, when the storage sphere is opened, the auxiliary support legs 9 can ensure that the lower sphere 2 can be stably placed on the flat surface, thereby ensuring the projection effect of the projection device 17 inside.

[0050] Furthermore, the fastener includes a limiting post 21 set on the inner wall of the outrigger storage opening 8, and a spring groove is provided on the auxiliary outrigger 9. The limiting post 21 passes through the spring groove and is connected to the inner wall of the spring groove through a contact spring. The contact spring constantly applies downward pressure to the auxiliary outrigger 9, so that it always has a downward extending force under the limiting action of the limiting latch 22.

[0051] Furthermore, the inner wall of the outrigger storage opening 8 is provided with periodic limiting slots 22, and the side wall of the auxiliary outrigger 9 is provided with a rectangular opening. The inner wall of the rectangular opening is connected to a slider 24 through a guide post 23. A locking post 25 located in the limiting slot 22 is fixedly connected to the slider 24. The slider 24 is connected to the inner wall of the rectangular opening through a return spring sleeved on the guide post 23.

[0052] It should be noted that the periodic limiting latch 22 and the structure set on the auxiliary leg 9 can be referred to in the enlarged view. Figure 3 and Figure 8 Its limiting slot 22 is set for a return cycle, and the slider 24, which is slidably set on the guide post 23, will always have a force in one direction through the action of the reset spring.

[0053] The further advantage of the above is that when the expansion dock is deployed and the various components on the expansion dock are used, it is necessary to ensure the stable placement of the expansion dock. In order to ensure the stable placement of the lower ball 2, the auxiliary support leg 9 can ensure its stability. However, when the protective hemispherical cover 3 rotates on the lower ball 2, the auxiliary support leg 9 needs to be stored in the support leg storage port 8. Therefore, the fastener is used to achieve this effect.

[0054] Its movement is such that pressing the auxiliary support leg 9 once will cause the locking post 25 to move within the limiting slot 22, thus achieving the effect of retracting once when pressed and popping outward when pressed again. Therefore, this solution is more convenient for the actual use of the docking station.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
