[0037] The edge storage space can store objects such as smartphones and tablets. The baffle configured in an inclined state facilitates the placement of objects. At the same time, a convex edge 105 extending upward is provided at the edge of the adjustable base, forming an edge storage groove with the edge storage space, which can be used as a bracket to prevent the object from falling, so as to provide better support. Further, a soft pad can be provided on the edge storage groove to protect the stored object.

[0038] The display screen is fixed in the groove 139 configured inside the baffle, and a protective cover plate 138 is provided on the outer surface of the display screen. Considering the overall volume of the product and the need to display information, the display screen is configured to be 5.45 inches in size and has a resolution of 720X1440, which can meet the user's information display needs. Further, a touch button 140 is provided on one side of the display screen, specifically arranged side by side and adjacent to the display screen at a position on one side of the display groove inside the baffle, for switching the display content according to the preset mode of the control component, and is also convenient for the user to operate. For example, the user can project the computer or smartphone to the display screen through the wireless communication module or by using an electrical connection method. To display other content, the signal source can be switched through interaction methods such as buttons, touches, or voices.

[0039] The expansion interface component is configured according to the actual interface usage requirements, mainly including a Type-C interface, a USB interface, an HDMI interface, an RJ45 interface, and an SD card slot. Among them, the Type-C interface includes a Type-PD interface for power supply and a full-function Type-C interface for external devices. The USB interface is mainly based on the USB3.0 protocol. Multiple USB interfaces and Type-C interfaces can be configured according to actual needs. The RJ45 interface can be configured as RJ45 1000M to provide high-speed network signal transmission requirements. The SD card slot can be configured with two types: a standard SD card slot and a Micro SD card slot, to meet the needs of the user for using large and small cards. According to the user's daily usage habits, the SD card slot can be configured at the front of the base, and the remaining interfaces can be configured at the rear of the base.

[0040] In another embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, a wireless charging module electrically connected to the control component is embedded in the first front baffle to integrate the wireless charging function. Specifically, the standard wireless charging coil 137 of the wireless charging module is embedded and installed inside the baffle, and is electrically connected to the control component through corresponding cables. A groove 139 for fixing the wireless charging coil is configured inside the baffle, and the surface is covered by a protective cover plate 138. After being powered on, users can place electronic devices such as mobile phones or tablets with wireless charging functions on the front position of the baffle to perform wireless charging. In actual products, the wireless charging module and the display screen can be selected according to user needs. If only one of them is selected, it is configured on the first front baffle. If both the wireless charging module and the display screen are selected, the display screen is configured on the first front baffle, and the wireless charging module is configured on the first rear baffle.

[0041] The control component includes a control board placed in an adjustable base and carrying a control circuit. The control board is also configured with a wireless transmission module, a speaker, and a microphone, thereby enabling the function of a Bluetooth speaker. The through-hole corresponding to the speaker can be configured on the side or bottom of the base. The size of the control board is designed according to the internal space of the base, and a split structure can also be adopted. Multiple control boards can be electrically connected by pin-and-wire harnesses.

[0042] In terms of the control circuit, the full-function Type-C interface can access the signals of an external host. It adopts a standardized communication protocol and outputs USB signals and video signals through the VL171 chip. The video signal is separated into HDMI signals through the MST function of the Longxun LT8712SX chip, which can be output to an external display screen through the HDMI interface. The HDMI signal can also be converted into a MIPI signal through the LT6911C chip and then output to the display screen of this product through the switch aw35645fbr chip (at this time, the video information input by the external host is displayed). At the same time, the switch aw35645fbr chip can switch to another MIPI signal output of the local main control chip and output it to the local display screen to display information such as albums, calendars, and weather. The local main control chip uses the Allwinner (Soc) T113-s3 chip, which can insert a memory card through interfaces such as the USB interface and SD card slot to read picture signals or video signals. After being converted into MIPI signals by the main control chip, they are output to the display screen through the switch aw35645fbr chip to realize the function of a digital photo frame electronic album. The USB signal output by the VL171 chip can be split into multiple USB signals through the USB3.0Hub chip. One of the USB signals is converted into a type C USB 3.0 interface output through the VL162switch chip. At the same time, a group of USB 3.0 signals are connected to the RTL8153B to convert to a gigabit network card (RJ45 1000M), thereby realizing the function of an expansion dock. The wireless transmission module can be configured as a Bluetooth module and a wireless network card. By connecting to the Internet, it can synchronously update information such as calendars, weather, and time, and realize the function of multi-information display. In addition, by replacing it with a more advanced control module, artificial intelligence (AI) can also be combined to realize an intelligent assistant with interactive functions.

[0043] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any changes made by using the design principle of the present invention and non-creative labor on this basis shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
