[0007] Preferably, the hooks are provided in two groups, each group of hooks has at least two hooks, and the hooks are integrated with the PCB board.
[0008] Preferably, the sinking groove is located at the edge of the hook, and the sinking groove is also provided in two groups, and each group of sinking grooves is provided with two.
[0009] Preferably, the clamping member and the plastic shell are an integral injection-molded structure, the two ends of the clamping member close to the plastic shell are designed to be bent at right angles, and the clamping member is connected to the hook by a clamping groove.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting plate and the clamping member are of an integrated design, and the limiting plate is located on both sides of the right-angle bending structure at both ends of the clamping member.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the expansion dock shell structure,
[0012] The two ends of the clamp are perpendicular to the plastic shell, so that when the clamp is inserted into the aluminum profile shell, the two ends of the clamp can be fastened on the hooks through the card slots, allowing the plastic shell to simultaneously fasten the PCB board from both sides of the PCB board through the clamp, making it unnecessary to process grooves on the inner wall of the aluminum profile shell, thereby reducing the production cost of the aluminum profile shell.

[0017] 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.
[0018] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a docking station shell structure, including an aluminum profile shell 1, a PCB board 2 is installed inside the aluminum profile shell 1, hooks 3 are provided at both ends of the PCB board 2, and sinking grooves 4 are also provided at both ends of the PCB board 2. Plastic shells 5 are provided at the opening positions at both ends of the aluminum profile shell 1, and a clamping piece 6 is provided on the surface of the plastic shell 5 close to the aluminum profile shell 1, a clamping slot 7 is provided on the clamping piece 6, and a limit plate 8 is provided on the edge of the clamping piece 6.
[0019] There are two groups of hooks 3 , each group of hooks 3 has at least two hooks 3 , and the hooks 3 are integrated with the PCB board 2 to facilitate the subsequent mating connection between the hooks 3 and the clamping member 6 .
[0020] The sinking groove 4 is located at the edge of the hook 3. There are also two groups of sinking grooves 4, and each group of sinking grooves 4 has two sinking grooves, which facilitates the clamping member 6 to be fastened in the sinking groove 4 and stably connected thereto to prevent the clamping member 6 from slipping off.
[0021] The clamping member 6 and the plastic shell 5 are an integral injection-molded structure, and the two ends of the clamping member 6 close to the plastic shell 5 are designed with right-angle bends. The clamping member 6 is engaged with the hook 3 through the slot 7, so that the plastic shell 5 can be fastened to both sides of the PCB board 2 through the clamping member 6 and the hook 3.
