[0013] 1. An expansion dock is an external device specially designed for a laptop computer. The expansion dock can increase the interface of the laptop computer, making it convenient for the laptop computer to connect to more devices. When protecting the interface body of the expansion dock, by toggling the lever, the lever will squeeze the through slot in the first card block through the roller on one side when it rotates, so that the first card block moves. When the first card block moves, it will squeeze the spring on one side, and the spring will shrink when squeezed. When the first card block moves out of contact with the internal card slot of the shield plate, the shield plate can be rotated. The shield plates are provided with two groups. The same operation is performed on the other group of shield plates, and then the two groups of shield plates are rotated to protect the interface body. When the magnets on one side of the two groups of shield plates are in contact, the two groups of magnets will be attracted to limit the connection of the two groups of shield plates. At this time, the shield plate can protect the interface body. The above operation can facilitate the protection of the interface body of the expansion dock.

[0014] 2. The expansion dock is an external device specially designed for laptop computers. The expansion dock can increase the interface of the laptop computer, making it convenient for the laptop computer to connect to more devices. By pulling the Type-C interface to contact the protective cover, the protective cover can be moved through the second connecting block and the slider to contact the Type-C interface. When the Type-C interface enters the protective cover, the rubber protective cover will be deformed to squeeze and limit the Type-C interface. At this time, the wire harness connected to the Type-C interface can be docked with the notch on one side of the second card block. When the wire harness contacts the second card block made of plastic, the second card block will be deformed, so that the wire harness enters the interior of the second card block and fixes and limits the wire harness. At this time, the storage protection of the Type-C interface is completed. In this way, the above operation can facilitate the storage protection of the Type-C interface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a square Type-C new expansion dock, comprising: a body 1, a shield 4 and a second card block 14, one side of the body 1 is connected to a Type-C interface 2, and the other side of the body 1 is installed with an interface body 3;

[0023] One side of the baffle plate 4 is movably connected to the body 1 through a rotating shaft, and a sliding rod 5 is connected to the other side of the baffle plate 4, and a magnet 6 is bonded and fixed to one end of the sliding rod 5; a first connecting block 7 is bonded and fixed to one side of the body 1 close to the baffle plate 4, and a lever 8 is movably connected to the inside of the first connecting block 7 through a rotating shaft; one side of the lever 8 is movably connected to a roller 9 through a rotating shaft, and one side of the roller 9 is connected to a first clamping block 10; a through groove 12 is provided inside the first clamping block 10, and a spring 11 is connected to one side of the first clamping block 10, and one end of the spring 11 is connected to the first connecting block 7, and heat dissipation nets 13 are connected to both sides of the body 1, the first connecting block 7, the first clamping block 10 and the spring 11 form an elastic telescopic structure, and the lever 8 forms a rotating structure with the first connecting block 7 through the rotating shaft.

[0024] In specific implementation, the expansion dock is an external device specially designed for a laptop computer. The expansion dock can increase the interface of the laptop computer, making it convenient for the laptop computer to connect to more devices. When protecting the interface body 3 of the expansion dock, by toggling the lever 8, the lever 8 will squeeze the through groove 12 in the first card block 10 through the roller 9 on one side when it rotates, so that the first card block 10 moves. When the first card block 10 moves, it will squeeze the spring 11 on one side, and the spring 11 will shrink when it is squeezed. When the first card block 10 moves out of contact with the internal card groove of the shield plate 4, the shield plate 4 can be rotated. The shield plate 4 is provided with two groups. The same operation is performed on the other group of shield plates 4, and then the two groups of shield plates 4 are rotated to protect the interface body 3. When the magnets 6 on one side of the two groups of shield plates 4 are in contact, the two groups of magnets 6 will be attracted to limit the connection of the two groups of shield plates 4. At this time, the shield plate 4 can protect the interface body 3;

[0025] When the expansion dock is needed, the shield 4 is rotated. When the shield 4 contacts the inclined surface on one side of the first card block 10, the first card block 10 will move and squeeze the spring 11 on one side to shrink it. When the first card block 10 contacts the card slot inside the shield 4, the spring 11 will reset and push the first card block 10 to move and engage with the shield 4. At this time, the position of the shield 4 is fixed, and the body 1 can be supported by the shield 4, so that the heat dissipation nets 13 on both sides of the body 1 can effectively dissipate the heat inside the body 1. The interface body 3 will be opened at this time and can be used. The above operation can facilitate the protection of the interface body 3 of the expansion dock.

[0026] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 One side of the second card block 14 is bonded and fixed to the body 1, the inside of the body 1 is connected to the connecting line of the Type-C interface 2, and one side of the Type-C interface 2 is connected to a protective cover 15; a second connecting block 16 is bonded and fixed to the outside of the protective cover 15, a slider 17 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the second connecting block 16, the outside of the slider 17 is connected to the body 1, and the slider 17 and the body 1 form a sliding structure, the material of the protective cover 15 is rubber, and the material of the second card block 14 is plastic.

[0027] In specific implementation, the expansion dock is an external device specially designed for a laptop computer. The expansion dock can increase the interface of the laptop computer, making it convenient for the laptop computer to connect more devices. After the expansion dock is used, in order to prevent the Type-C interface 2 from being damaged when it is scattered randomly, it needs to be stored and protected. By pulling the Type-C interface 2 to contact the protective cover 15, the protective cover 15 can be moved through the second connecting block 16 and the slider 17 to contact the Type-C interface 2. The entrance of the protective cover 15 is arc-shaped, which can make the Type-C interface 2 Smooth entry. When the Type-C interface 2 enters the protective cover 15, the rubber protective cover 15 will be deformed to squeeze and limit the Type-C interface 2. At this time, the wiring harness connected to the Type-C interface 2 can be docked with the notch on one side of the second card block 14. When the wiring harness contacts the second card block 14 made of plastic, the second card block 14 will be deformed, so that the wiring harness enters the interior of the second card block 14, and the wiring harness is fixed and limited. At this time, the storage protection of the Type-C interface 2 is completed. In this way, the above operation can facilitate the storage protection of the Type-C interface 2.

[0028] To sum up: when using the square Type-C new expansion dock, first insert the Type-C interface 2 on one side of the body 1 into the interface of the laptop, and then insert the interface to be connected to the computer into the interface body 3.
