A plurality of storage grooves 3 are provided on one side of the docking station body 1, and the movable cover 2 is slidably connected to one side of the docking station body 1 close to the storage grooves 3; a connecting line is connected to the docking station body 1, and a connector 4 is provided at one end of the connecting line away from the docking station body 1. Installation grooves 5 are provided at the four corners on the other side of the docking station body 1, and a support plate 6 is rotatably connected in the installation grooves 5. A plurality of heat dissipation fins 13 are vertically arranged on the outer surface of the docking station body 1.

[0026] Wherein, the support plate 6 is rotatably connected to the two side walls of the installation groove 5 through a connecting shaft, and circular digging grooves 7 are provided on the outer surface of the support plate 6, which is convenient to expand the support plate 6 through the circular digging grooves 7 to improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0027] Wherein, a magnet is provided on the inner wall of the support plate 6, and a metal sheet adsorbed to the magnet is provided on the inner wall of the installation groove 5, which is beneficial to fix the support plate 6 on the docking station body 1 when the support plate 6 is closed.

[0028] Among them, sliders 8 are fixedly connected on both sides of the movable cover 2, and slide grooves 9 are opened on both sides of the storage slot 3. The sliders 8 are slidably connected in the inner cavity of the slide grooves 9, and the outer surface of the movable cover 2 is fixedly connected with anti-slip strips 12, which makes it more convenient to slide the movable cover 2 and prevents deviation during the sliding process.

[0029] Among them, permanent magnets 10 are provided on one side of the slider 8 and the slide groove 9, and the polarities of the two groups of permanent magnets 10 are opposite. The movable cover 2 is connected to the docking station body 1 through magnetic force, which is convenient for user operation.

[0030] Among them, the multiple groups of storage slots 3 include circular slots and square slots, and the circular slots and square slots are used to place data cables and storage cards respectively. When the storage cards and data cables are not in use, they are placed in the storage slots 3 to prevent loss and facilitate storage.

[0031] Among them, interfaces 11 are set on both sides of the expansion dock body 1, and the interfaces 11 include a memory card interface, a USB interface, an HDMI interface, and a Type-c interface, which are used for external expansion devices or inserting memory cards.
