Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of expansion docks, and in particular to a multifunctional expansion dock. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology, people's requirements for the portability of electronic devices have also increased. Some functions of electronic devices cannot be fully realized, so users need the assistance of expansion docks when using electronic devices. In order to meet the needs of users when using electronic devices and expand the functions of electronic devices, the application of expansion docks has become more and more common.
[0003] Currently, the existing expansion docks have a single function and only have the function of plugging in different connection cables. There are still the following shortcomings in terms of ease of use: 1. When using a mobile phone, tablet or game console to connect to the expansion dock, the user needs to support the electronic product when using it, but the expansion dock does not have the function of supporting the electronic product, and a bracket needs to be purchased separately; 2. Its data transmission cable is generally exposed and does not have the storage function, which makes it inconvenient to use and carry; 3. Generally, the expansion dock is placed directly on the desktop for use, and the lower end surface of the expansion dock is close to the desktop, so the heat dissipation of the expansion dock is slow. As the number of expansion interfaces increases, the operation speed will be slow due to heat dissipation problems; 4. The sockets of the expansion docks on the existing market all adopt an open design. When the user is not using the expansion dock, the exposed interface components are neither beautiful nor safe, and dust is easily accumulated.

The data transmission line 3 extends from the storage groove 6 and can be wound around the wire harness winding component, and when the support component and the wire harness winding component are both flipped out of the upward shape, the wire harness winding component can support the support component.
[0039] First, a storage groove 6 is provided at the upper end of the expansion dock host shell 1, and a support assembly and a wire harness winding assembly are respectively flipped inside the storage groove 6.

[0043] A left support slide 7 and a right support slide 8 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the expansion dock host shell 1, so that when the expansion dock is not in use, the left support slide 7 and the right support slide 8 on the left and right sides can be directly slid inward to each other, so as to store the expansion dock host shell 1 inside, and also store the support assembly and the wire harness winding assembly in the storage groove 6, and at the same time, the first expansion socket 4 and the second expansion socket 5 on the front and rear sides of the expansion dock host shell 1 are stored and shielded, which improves the aesthetics of the expansion dock on the one hand, and improves the safety and portability of the expansion dock on the other hand, has a dust-proof effect, and at the same time protects the expansion dock host shell, and the user experience is also improved simultaneously.
[0044] In addition, when the left support slide 7 and the right support slide 8 are in an outward sliding state, both the left support slide 7 and the right support slide 8 can be flipped downward, thereby supporting the expansion dock host shell 1 upward, providing heat dissipation conditions for the expansion dock host shell 1, and obtaining greater heat dissipation efficiency.

A slide groove 33 extending in the left and right directions is arranged on the front and rear side surfaces of the upper shell 22, a left rotating shaft 34 is arranged in the front and rear intervals on the left supporting slide cover 7, and a right rotating shaft 35 is arranged in the front and rear intervals on the right supporting slide cover 8, and the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 on the front and rear sides are correspondingly slidably arranged in the slide grooves 33 on the front and rear sides, so that the left supporting slide cover 7 is driven to slide left and right in the slide groove 33 by the left rotating shaft 34, and the right rotating shaft 35 is driven to slide left and right in the slide groove 33, so that the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8 can slide inwardly relative to each other to store the expansion dock host shell 1 inside, or the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8 can slide outward relative to each other to expose the expansion dock host shell 1 outside.
[0047] See also Figure 1-Figure 13As shown, a first extension tube 41 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the left supporting sliding cover 7, the left rotating shaft 34 is telescopically extended on the first extension tube 41 along the front and rear directions, a first left positioning ring groove 42 and a second left positioning ring groove 43 are provided on the front rotating shaft 31 and the rear rotating shaft 32, the left rotating shaft 34 is on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the front rotating shaft 31 and the rear rotating shaft 32, and the inner end of the left rotating shaft 34 can abut against the outer wall of the front rotating shaft 31 or the rear rotating shaft 32, and the outer end of the left rotating shaft 34 is outward. A first extension tube 41 is extended, and a first elastic component is arranged in the first extension tube 41 so that the inner end of the left rotating shaft 34 can be kept against the outer wall of the front rotating shaft 31 or the rear rotating shaft 32. When the inner end of the left rotating shaft 34 is against the first left positioning ring groove 42, the left supporting slide cover 7 will store the expansion dock host shell 1, and when the inner end of the left rotating shaft 34 is against the second left positioning ring groove 43, the left supporting slide cover 7 will expose the expansion dock host shell 1. In the embodiment, a second extension tube 44 is provided on both the front and rear sides of the right supporting sliding cover 8, the right rotating shaft 35 is telescopically extended on the second extension tube 44 along the front and rear directions, a first right positioning ring groove 45 and a second right positioning ring groove 46 are provided on the front rotating shaft 31 and the rear rotating shaft 32, the right rotating shaft 35 is on the same horizontal plane as the axis of the front rotating shaft 31 and the rear rotating shaft 32, and the inner end of the right rotating shaft 35 can abut against the outer wall of the front rotating shaft 31 or the rear rotating shaft 32, and the outer end of the right rotating shaft 35 extends outward. A second extension tube 44 is extended, and a second elastic component is provided in the second extension tube 44 to allow the inner end of the right rotating shaft 35 to remain against the outer wall of the front rotating shaft 31 or the rear rotating shaft 32. When the inner end of the right rotating shaft 35 is against the first right positioning ring groove 45, the right supporting slide cover 8 will store the expansion dock host shell 1, and when the inner end of the right rotating shaft 35 is against the second right positioning ring groove 46, the right supporting slide cover 8 will expose the expansion dock host shell 1.
[0048] The specific working principle of the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8 sliding left and right is as follows:
[0049] When the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8 store the expansion dock host housing 1 (such as Figure 3 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 As shown in the figure, the inner end of the left rotating shaft 34 abuts against the first left positioning ring groove 42, and the inner end of the right rotating shaft 35 abuts against the first right positioning ring groove 45. At this time, since the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 are both limited by the corresponding positioning ring grooves 45, the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 cannot move in the left and right directions, thereby fixing the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8, and stably storing the expansion dock host shell 1 inside; when the expansion dock host shell 1 needs to be exposed (as shown in the figure), ... left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 are both limited by the corresponding positioning ring grooves 45, and thus the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 cannot move in the left and right directions. Figure 4 , Figure 6-Figure 8As shown in the figure, first, the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 are pulled outward respectively, so that the left rotating shaft 34 disengages from the first left positioning ring groove 42, and the right rotating shaft 35 disengages from the first right positioning ring groove 45. Then, the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8 can both slide outward, and the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 both slide in the sliding groove 33. When they move to the outermost end, under the action of the first elastic component, the left rotating shaft 34 is pushed into the second left positioning ring groove 43, and under the action of the second elastic component, the right rotating shaft 35 is pushed into the second right positioning ring groove 46, thereby limiting the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 again, and the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 cannot slide left and right, thereby exposing the expansion dock host shell 1, and the user can plug and connect in the first expansion socket 4 or the second expansion socket 5.
[0050] It should be noted that the left rotating shaft 34 can only perform telescopic activities forward and backward along the axis of the first extension tube 41, and the left rotating shaft 34 cannot rotate on its own in the first extension tube 41, and the right rotating shaft 35 can only perform telescopic activities forward and backward along the axis of the second extension tube 44, and the right rotating shaft 35 cannot rotate on its own in the second extension tube 44. Guide ridges extending along their axial directions are provided on the outer walls of the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35, and then guide grooves are correspondingly provided on the first extension tube 41 and the second extension tube 44. The guide ridges slide back and forth in the guide grooves (not shown in the drawings), so that the left rotating shaft 34 and the right rotating shaft 35 can move along the axial direction without rotating on their own. These are all existing conventional designs and are not described in detail here.
[0051] See also Fig.13 As shown, the first elastic component has the same structure as the second elastic component, wherein the first elastic component includes a cavity 51 arranged in the first extension tube 41, a limiting flange 52 is arranged on the left rotating shaft 34 and in the cavity 51, and a first spring 53 is arranged in the cavity 51, the first spring 53 is sleeved on the left rotating shaft 34, and one end abuts against the limiting flange 52, one end of the first spring 53 abuts against the limiting flange 52, and under the action of the first spring 53, the limiting flange 52 and the left rotating shaft 34 maintain a tendency to move inwards. Of course, the structure of the first elastic component is the same as that of the second elastic component, and it is also through the action of the spring that the left rotating shaft 34 and the left rotating shaft 35 maintain a tendency to move inwards, so that the left rotating shaft 34 and the left rotating shaft 35 can be more stably abutted against the corresponding positioning ring groove.
[0052] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.10As shown, circular grooves 61 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper shell body 22, and a locking column 62 is provided in the circular groove 61. A second spring 63 is connected between the inner end of the locking column 62 and the bottom end of the circular groove 61, and a limiting groove 64 is provided on the lower side of the inner end opening of the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8. When the left supporting slide cover 7 or the right supporting slide cover 8 is flipped downward, the lower side of the locking column 62 abuts against the upper edge of the inner end opening of the left supporting slide cover 7 or the right supporting slide cover 8, and the limiting groove 64 abuts against the lower end of the lower shell body 21.
[0053] When the expansion dock host shell 1 needs to be supported upward, since the left rotating shaft 34 is located in the second left positioning ring groove 43 and the right rotating shaft 35 is located in the second right positioning ring groove 46, the left supporting slide 7 can rotate in the second left positioning ring groove 43 with the left rotating shaft 34 as the axis, and the right supporting slide 8 can rotate in the second right positioning ring groove 46 with the right rotating shaft 35 as the axis. When the left supporting slide 7 and the right supporting slide 8 are flipped downward, the limiting notch 64 at the lower end of the left supporting slide 7 and the right supporting slide 8 abuts against the lower end surface of the lower shell 21. At this time, the left supporting slide 7 and the right supporting slide 8 are The upper ends of the sliding cover 7 and the right supporting sliding cover 8 are disengaged from the locking column 62, and the locking column 62 is pushed out of the circular groove 61 by the action of the second spring 63, so that the locking column 62 is located at the upper end of the opening edge of the left supporting sliding cover 7 and the right supporting sliding cover 8, thereby fixing the left supporting sliding cover 7 and the right supporting sliding cover 8 by the locking column 62 and the limiting groove 64, so that the left supporting sliding cover 7 and the right supporting sliding cover 8 are kept in a downwardly tilted supporting state, so that the expansion dock host shell 1 is supported upward and away from the desktop, providing heat dissipation conditions for the expansion dock host shell 1 and obtaining greater heat dissipation efficiency.
[0054] When unlocking the left supporting slide 7 and the right supporting slide 8, the locking column 62 is directly pressed into the circular groove 61 to disengage the locking column 62 from the left supporting slide 7 and the right supporting slide 8, so that the left supporting slide 7 and the right supporting slide 8 can be flipped upward.
[0055] See also Figure 6-Figure 9 As shown, a first bevel gear 71 is provided on the front shaft 31, and a second bevel gear 72 is provided on the left shaft 34 on the front side. When the inner end of the left shaft 34 abuts against the second left positioning ring groove 43, the second bevel gear 72 meshes with the first bevel gear 71. A third bevel gear 81 is provided on the rear shaft 32, and a fourth bevel gear 82 is provided on the right shaft 35 on the rear side. When the inner end of the right shaft 35 abuts against the second right positioning ring groove 46, the fourth bevel gear 82 meshes with the third bevel gear 81. Through a clever mechanical combination, the support assembly and the harness winding assembly can be automatically turned out, and its specific working principle is as follows:
[0056] The first gear 77 is engaged with the first gear 71 on the left side of the lock core 34, and the second gear 78 is engaged with the first gear 71 on the right side of the lock core 34. When the lock core 34 is engaged with the first gear 71 on the lock core 34, the second gear 78 is engaged with the first gear 71 on the lock core 34. When the lock core 34 is engaged with the first gear 71 on the lock core 34, the second gear 78 is engaged with the first gear 71 on the lock core 34.
[0057] Of course, it should be noted that when the left supporting slide cover 7 and the right supporting slide cover 8 are flipped downward, the left supporting slide cover 7 needs to be flipped up first before the right supporting slide cover 8 can be flipped up. The left supporting slide cover 7 is flipped up to allow the supporting assembly to flip out of the storage groove 6 first, and then the right supporting slide cover 8 is flipped up to allow the wiring harness winding assembly to flip out later and allow the wiring harness winding assembly to be supported on the supporting assembly; similarly, during the storage operation, the right supporting slide cover 8 needs to be flipped up first before the left supporting slide cover 7 can be flipped up.
[0058] See also Fig. 9 , 14 As shown, the support assembly includes a support long plate 91 arranged on the front rotating shaft 31 at intervals along the left and right directions, a notch 92 is provided at the lower end of the support long plate 91, and a support lower baffle 93 is flipped in the notch 92. The support lower baffle 93 can be flipped out of the notch 92, or flipped inward and stored in the notch 92.
[0059] Furthermore, a transmission gear 95 is provided at the outer end of the flipping shaft 94 of the supporting lower baffle 93, and an arc-shaped rack 96 coaxially arranged with the front rotating shaft 31 is provided in the storage groove 6. The arc-shaped rack 96 can engage with the transmission gear 95. When the supporting long plate 91 is flipped outward from the storage groove 6, the supporting lower baffle 93 flips outward with a notch 92 relative to the supporting long plate 91.
[0060] During operation, when the front rotating shaft 31 rotates to drive the supporting long plate 91 to flip outward, the transmission gear 95 on the flip shaft 94 of the supporting lower baffle 93 engages with the arc-shaped rack 96. Since the arc-shaped rack 96 is fixed, it will drive the transmission gear 95 to rotate, and the supporting lower baffle 93 will flip out of the notch 92 with the flip shaft 94 as the axis. Therefore, when the front rotating shaft 31 is fixed and rotates, the supporting long plate 91 and the supporting lower baffle 93 are also fixed, and the electronic product is fixed by the supporting long plate 91 and the supporting lower baffle 93.
[0061] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig. 9 As shown, the wiring harness winding assembly includes a winding plate 10 arranged on the rear rotating shaft 32, and a threading hole 11 is arranged on the winding plate 10 for allowing the data transmission line 3 to pass through. The data transmission line 3 is connected to the main control board 2, and then the data transmission line 3 passes through the lower shell 21 and the upper shell 22 respectively, and then passes through the storage groove 6, and then passes through the threading hole 11 of the winding plate 10 to connect with the electronic product. When winding, the data transmission line 3 can be directly wound on the winding plate 10.
[0062] When the winding plate 10 and the supporting long plate 91 are respectively received in the receiving groove 6, the supporting long plate 91 can press the data transmission line 3 wound on the winding plate 10 (such as Figure 4 As shown), the data transmission line 3 is prevented from loosening and the stability during storage is improved.
[0063] When the winding plate 10 and the supporting long plate 91 are respectively turned out of the storage groove 6, the outer end of the winding plate 10 can avoid supporting the lower side of the supporting long plate 91, thereby improving the stability of the supporting long plate 91 when supporting the electronic product.
