Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of expansion docks, and in particular to an expansion dock with an adjustable stabilizing bracket. Background Art

[0002] A docking station is an external device designed specifically for laptops, primarily used to expand the limited port functionality of thin and light laptops or mini-computers. It provides multiple interfaces (such as USB, HDMI, Ethernet, and card readers) to enable one-stop connectivity to peripherals such as monitors, keyboards, mice, and storage devices.

[0003] Most of the common expansion docks on the market currently have single functions and only have basic interface expansion and data transmission functions. A few expansion docks have simple stands that can support laptops, but their supporting structures are fixed and cannot be adjusted, resulting in a larger overall size. They take up more space when stored, which brings inconvenience to users in carrying and storing them. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the disadvantage that the bracket of the expansion dock cannot be adjusted, the present invention provides a expansion dock with an adjustable stable bracket.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: an expansion dock with an adjustable stable bracket, comprising an expansion dock main body, a first bracket, a folding bracket, a second bracket, a support plate, a first jacking assembly, a support block and a second jacking assembly, wherein both ends of the expansion dock main body are fixedly connected to the first bracket, and a plurality of interfaces are provided on the expansion dock main body, and the first bracket is hingedly provided with a folding bracket at one end away from the expansion dock main body, and the second bracket is rotatably provided at both ends of the expansion dock main body, and the support plate is rotatably provided at one end of the folding bracket away from the first bracket, and a first jacking assembly for jacking up the support plate is provided inside the folding bracket, and a support block is slidably provided at one end of the first bracket close to the folding bracket, and a second jacking assembly for jacking up the support block is provided inside the first bracket. The first jacking assembly comprises a connecting frame, a torsion spring, a jack rod and a first elastic member, and connecting frames are provided at both ends of the support plate, and a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the connecting frame and the folding frame, and jacking frames are slidably provided at both ends of the folding frame. The folding frame is in the folded state, and one end of the folding frame is in the folded state, and ...

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a sliding block, a fourth elastic member, a pressing block, an extrusion rod and a fifth elastic member. A plurality of sliding blocks are slidably provided at one end of the second bracket, and a fourth elastic member is connected between the sliding block and the second bracket. A pressing block is slidably provided at one end of the first bracket, and a plurality of extrusion rods are provided on the pressing block. A fifth elastic member is connected between the pressing block and the first bracket, and the extrusion rods are respectively in contact with the sliding blocks, and the sliding block is embedded in the first bracket.

[0007] Furthermore, the side of the pressing block away from the extrusion rod is arc-shaped.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a connecting block, a sliding rod and a sixth elastic member. Connecting blocks are slidably provided on both sides of one end of the first bracket close to the folding frame. A sliding rod is provided on the connecting block. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the first bracket. A sixth elastic member is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod. The sixth elastic member connects the first bracket and the connecting block. When the folding frame is unfolded, the connecting block is embedded in the folding frame.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a cover plate, which is slidably provided on the expansion dock body.

[0010] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve is included, and the middle part of the second bracket is covered with the rubber sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, a damping block is provided at the hinge between the first bracket and the folding frame.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention has two usage states: folding and unfolding. By switching between folding / unfolding modes, it can adapt to the support requirements of small (mobile phones / tablets) and large (laptop computers) electronic devices; at the same time, when switching modes, the support plate and support block can automatically open or close according to the mode, providing stable support for the electronic device.

[0013] 2. The present invention can lock the angle of the second bracket to prevent it from accidentally rotating through the embedded engagement of the sliding block and the first bracket; pressing the lower block drives the extrusion rod to press the sliding block to release the lock, making it convenient to adjust the angle of the second bracket. After adjustment, release the lower block to re-fix it. The operation is simple and can ensure the stability of the bracket angle.

[0014] 3. When the present invention is in the unfolded state, the connecting block is embedded in the folding frame to fix the folding frame and prevent it from shaking due to external force. At the same time, it increases the fulcrum points so that the pressure applied by the electronic device is more evenly distributed to the entire bracket structure, avoiding deformation or damage of the bracket caused by excessive local pressure, and improving the stability of the entire expansion dock bracket.

[0015] 4. The expansion dock of the present invention is provided with a sliding cover on the main body, which can be opened or closed as needed to protect the interface, prevent dust, debris, etc. from entering the interface, avoid damage or short circuit of the interface, and extend the service life of the expansion dock.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] A docking station with an adjustable stabilizing bracket, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes an expansion dock body 1, a first bracket 2, a folding frame 3, a second bracket 4, a support plate 5, a first lifting component, a support block 10 and a second lifting component. The two ends of the expansion dock body 1 are fixedly connected to the first bracket 2, and a plurality of interfaces are provided on the expansion dock body 1. The end of the first bracket 2 away from the expansion dock body 1 is connected to the folding frame 3 through a hinge structure, and the second bracket 4 is rotatably provided at both ends of the expansion dock body 1. The middle parts of the first bracket 2, the folding frame 3 and the second bracket 4 are all hollowed out. The end of the folding frame 3 away from the first bracket 2 is rotatably provided with a support plate 5, and the inside of the folding frame 3 is provided with a first lifting component for lifting the support plate 5. The end of the first bracket 2 close to the folding frame 3 is slidably provided with a support block 10, and the inside of the first bracket 2 is provided with a second lifting component for lifting the support block 10.

[0029] The expansion dock with an adjustable stable bracket has two usage states. In the folded state, the folding frame 3 is used as the bottom support structure, and some small electronic devices (such as tablets, mobile phones, etc.) can be placed on the first bracket 2 and the second bracket 4. At this time, the support block 10 will be lifted up by the second lifting component to support the electronic devices; in the unfolded state, the end of the folding frame 3 and the end of the second bracket 4 are used as the support structure, and some larger electronic devices (such as laptops) can be placed on the first bracket 2 and the folding frame 3. At this time, the support plate 5 will rotate open under the action of the first lifting component and support the electronic devices. By switching between these two states, the placement and support requirements of different electronic devices can be met. At the same time, when the state is switched, the support plate 5 and the support block 10 can automatically open or close according to the state. Specifically, the support plate 5 will be closed in the folded state to prevent the protrusion from affecting the supporting effect of the folding frame 3, and the support block 10 will be closed in the unfolded state to avoid affecting the placement of larger electronic devices.

[0030] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the first lifting assembly includes a connecting frame 6, a torsion spring 7, a push rod 8 and a first elastic member 9. The connecting frame 6 is provided at both ends of the support plate 5. The connection between the connecting frame 6 and the folding frame 3 is provided with a torsion spring 7. The folding frame 3 has push rods 8 slidably provided at both ends. The end of the push rod 8 close to the first bracket 2 extends outside the folding frame 3. The first elastic member 9 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod 8. The first elastic member 9 connects the folding frame 3 and the push rod 8. The end of the push rod 8 away from the first bracket 2 contacts the connecting frame 6. In the unfolded state, the first bracket 2 will squeeze the push rod 8 to move, and the push rod 8 squeezes the connecting frame 6 to rotate, thereby causing the support plate 5 to rotate and open, playing the role of supporting the electronic device. When folded, the first bracket 2 no longer squeezes the push rod 8. The push rod 8 is reset under the action of the first elastic member 9. The support plate 5 and the connecting frame 6 are reset under the action of the torsion spring 7, so that the support plate 5 is completely retracted into the folding frame 3, preventing the support plate 5 from bulging and affecting the supporting effect of the folding frame 3.

[0031] like Figure 6-Figure 7As shown, the second lifting assembly includes a second elastic member 11, an extrusion block 12, and a third elastic member 13. The second elastic member 11 is connected between the support block 10 and the first bracket 2. The extrusion block 12 is slidably provided inside the first bracket 2. The third elastic member 13 is connected between the extrusion block 12 and the first bracket 2. The support block 10 contacts the extrusion block 12, and the contact surface is an inclined surface. When the folding frame 3 is in the folded state, one end of the support block 10 and the extrusion block 12 both extend out of the first bracket 2. In the folded state, the extrusion block 12 squeezes the support block 10 upward under the action of the third elastic member 13, and the support block 10 extends out of the first bracket 2 to support the electronic device. In the unfolded state, the folding frame 3 will completely press the extrusion block 12 into the first bracket 2. The extrusion block 12 no longer squeezes the support block 10. The support block 10 is retracted into the first bracket 2 under the action of the second elastic member 11, preventing the support block 10 from extending and affecting the placement of larger electronic devices.

[0032] like Figure 8-Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a sliding block 14, a fourth elastic member 15, a pressing block 16, an extrusion rod 17 and a fifth elastic member 18. A plurality of sliding blocks 14 are slidably provided at one end of the second bracket 4. The fourth elastic member 15 is connected between the sliding block 14 and the second bracket 4. A pressing block 16 is slidably provided at one end of the first bracket 2. A plurality of extrusion rods 17 are provided on the pressing block 16. The fifth elastic member 18 is connected between the pressing block 16 and the first bracket 2. The extrusion rods 17 are respectively in contact with the sliding blocks 14, and the sliding block 14 is embedded in the first bracket 2. The embedded engagement of the sliding block 14 locks the angle of the second bracket 4 to prevent the second bracket 4 from rotating accidentally. When the second bracket 4 needs to be rotated, the lower pressing block 16 is pressed, and the lower pressing block 16 drives the extrusion rod 17 to press the sliding block 14. At this time, the fourth elastic member 15 and the fifth elastic member 18 contract, and the sliding block 14 is no longer embedded in the first bracket 2. At this time, the second bracket 4 can be rotated. After adjusting the rotation angle, the lower pressing block 16 is released. The lower pressing block 16 is reset under the action of the fifth elastic member 18, and the sliding block 14 is re-embedded in the first bracket 2 under the action of the fourth elastic member 15, which plays a locking role to prevent the second bracket 4 from rotating accidentally.

[0033] The side of the pressing block 16 away from the squeezing rod 17 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped surface fits the pressing action of the finger, reducing the resistance when pressing. At the same time, the arc-shaped surface can better disperse the pressure, reduce the local pressure on the finger, and improve the comfort of operation.

[0034] like Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, it also includes a connecting block 19, a sliding rod 20 and a sixth elastic member 21. The connecting block 19 is slidably provided on both sides of the end of the first bracket 2 close to the folding frame 3. The sliding rod 20 is provided on the connecting block 19. The sliding rod 20 is slidably connected to the first bracket 2. The sixth elastic member 21 is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod 20. The sixth elastic member 21 connects the first bracket 2 and the connecting block 19. When the folding frame 3 is unfolded, the connecting block 19 is embedded in the folding frame 3. In the unfolded state, the connecting block 19 is embedded in the folding frame 3, playing the role of fixing the folding frame 3, which can prevent the folding frame 3 from shaking due to external forces during use. At the same time, it increases the fulcrum so that the pressure applied by the electronic device can be more evenly distributed to the entire bracket structure, avoiding deformation or damage caused by excessive local pressure.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, a cover plate 22 is also included. The cover plate 22 is slidably provided on the docking station body 1. The cover plate 22 can be opened or closed as needed to form a physical shield for the interface area on the docking station body 1, playing a protective role, preventing dust, debris, etc. from entering the interface, avoiding damage or short circuit of the interface.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the second bracket 4 also includes a rubber sleeve 23, which is mounted on the middle portion of the second bracket 4. When unfolded, the rubber sleeve 23 directly contacts the supporting surface (such as a desktop). The rubber material provides a stronger grip, preventing the docking station from slipping due to the weight of the device or vibration, thereby ensuring the stability of the docking station. When folded, the user can directly grasp the rubber sleeve 23 to lift the device. This increases friction between the rubber sleeve and the hand, preventing the docking station from slipping and ensuring safety and stability during hand-carrying.

[0037] A damping block is installed at the hinge between the first bracket 2 and the folding bracket 3. The damping block provides sufficient resistance to ensure that the first bracket 2 and the folding bracket 3 can maintain a relatively stable position when folded or unfolded, and will not easily change position due to the placement of electronic devices or slight shaking, thereby improving the stability of the entire docking station.

[0038] The above is a detailed introduction to the present application. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, based on the idea of the present application, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
