[0017] The present invention is further described and illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A hard disk expansion dock structure includes a shell 10 and a mounting plate 20. The mounting plate 20 is inserted into the shell 10, and a cover plate 21 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 20. The cover plate 21 is fitted with one end of the shell 10. The shell 10 and the mounting plate 20 are detachably connected. A PCB board 30 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 20. A transfer interface 31 is provided on one side of the PCB board 30. A through hole 11 is provided on the shell 10 corresponding to the transfer interface 31. A mounting groove 32 for connecting a hard disk is provided on the side of the PCB board 30 close to the mounting plate 20. A avoidance groove 22 is provided on the mounting plate 20 corresponding to the mounting groove 32. An adapter cable 23 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 20 close to the card board 14. One end of the adapter cable 23 is connected to the PCB board 30, and the other end of the adapter cable 23 extends out of the shell 10.

[0019] Before use, the hard disk is first installed in the installation slot 32 on the PCB board 30, so that the hard disk is electrically connected to the PCB board 30, which plays the function of a mobile hard disk, and the installation plate 20 on one side of the PCB board 30 is provided with a avoidance slot 22, which is convenient for people to directly install the hard disk, and there is no need to disassemble the PCB board 30 and the installation plate 20 to affect the electronic components and the adapter 31 of the PCB board 30. After the hard disk is installed, the installation plate 20 and the PCB board 30 are inserted into the shell 10 as a whole, and finally the shell 10 and the installation plate 20 are fixed. The shell 10 is used to protect the electronic components and the hard disk on the PCB board 30 from dust, and the shell 10 is provided with a through hole 11 corresponding to the adapter 31, so that it will not affect the normal use of the adapter 31 of the PCB board 30, and the PCB board 30 is connected to the external computer device through the adapter cable 23, thereby increasing the expansion function of the expansion dock, facilitating people to carry and use, and also improving the utilization rate of the expansion dock.

[0020] In the above scheme, the surface of the housing 10 is provided with a fixing hole 12, and the mounting plate 20 is provided with a threaded hole 24 corresponding to the fixing hole 12, and the housing 10 is fixedly connected to the threaded hole 24 by screws 13 passing through the fixing hole 12. A clamping plate 14 is provided at the other end of the housing 10, and the clamping plate 14 is detachably connected to the housing 10. The clamping plate 14, the cover plate 21 and the housing 10 form a cavity, and the clamping plate 14 is provided with a plurality of buckles 141 at one end of the housing 10, and the buckles 141 are correspondingly arranged on both sides of the clamping plate 14, and the inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a clamping groove 15 corresponding to the buckles 141.

[0021] When people only need to roughly understand the working conditions inside the shell 10, there is no need to disassemble the shell 10 and the mounting plate 20. They only need to buckle down the card plate 14 at one end of the shell 10 to observe the internal conditions through one end of the shell 10, which serves the purpose of preliminary observation and reduces the need to disassemble the shell 10 and the mounting plate 20.

[0022] In addition, concave locking grooves 16 are provided on the sides of both ends of the shell 10, and the cover plate 21 and the locking plate 14 are correspondingly provided with lugs 142, which are inserted into the locking grooves 16. The locking grooves 16 and the lugs 142 can play a guiding role and prevent the shell 10 and the mounting plate 20 from rotating, which affects the normal use of the expansion dock.

[0023] A wire protection sleeve 25 is provided at one end of the adapter cable 23. The wire protection sleeve 25 is embedded in the middle of the card plate 14 and has a trapezoidal structure. The diameter of the wire protection sleeve 25 at one end inside the shell 10 is larger than the end extending out of the shell 10. A connecting connector 26 is provided at the other end of the adapter cable 23.

[0024] The wire sheath 25 protects the connection between the adapter cable 23 and the cover plate 21, and the diameter of the wire sheath 25 at one end inside the housing 10 is larger than that at the other end outside, so that the wire sheath 25 can be better clamped with the clamping plate 14 during the pulling process, thereby preventing the adapter cable 23 from being separated from the PCB board 30 due to dragging during use.

[0025] Baffles 27 are provided at the four corners of the mounting plate 20 corresponding to the PCB board 30. The baffles 27 are arranged perpendicular to the mounting plate 20. The baffles 27 are utilized to protect and limit the insertion of the housing 10, thereby preventing the PCB board 30 from being bumped during the insertion process, thereby affecting the use of the electronic components on the PCB board 30.

[0026] In addition, a guard plate 33 is provided on the side of the PCB board 30 away from the mounting plate 20. The guard plate 33 is fixedly connected to the PCB board 30 and covers the surface of the PCB board 30. The guard plate 33 is utilized to protect the electronic components on the surface of the PCB board 30. At the same time, when the mounting plate 20 is pulled out, the entire structural shape is neater and more beautiful.

[0027] The utility model provides a hard disk expansion dock structure. Before use, the hard disk is first installed in a mounting groove on a PCB board, so that the hard disk is electrically connected to the PCB board, and the function of a mobile hard disk is achieved. A mounting plate on one side of the PCB board is provided with a avoiding groove, so that people can directly install the hard disk without disassembling the PCB board and the mounting plate to affect the electronic components and the switching interface of the PCB board. After the hard disk is installed, the mounting plate and the PCB board are inserted into a shell as a whole, and finally the shell and the mounting plate are fixed. The shell is used to protect the electronic components and the hard disk on the PCB board from dust, and a through hole is provided in the shell corresponding to the switching interface, so that the normal use of the switching interface of the PCB board will not be affected. The PCB board is connected to an external computer device through a switching line, thereby increasing the capacity expansion function of the expansion dock, making it convenient for people to carry and use, and also improving the utilization rate of the expansion dock.
