[0024] In the following description, specific details such as specific system architectures and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present application can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present application.

[0025] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present application more obvious and understandable, the following provides a detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It can be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] The embodiments of the present application provide a vertical docking station. In the embodiments of the present application, the vertical docking station can be placed on a placement surface for use, and the placement surface can be, for example but not limited to, a desktop, a tabletop, a floor, etc. The vertical docking station can be used to provide expansion ports for a computer to meet the user's needs. Taking a laptop as an example, due to its own volume limitations, the number and types of ports of a laptop are much fewer than those of a desktop computer, and it is difficult to meet the needs of users in many application scenarios. The vertical docking station can provide multiple expanded ports for it, so that the laptop can be connected to external devices such as, for example but not limited to, a power adapter, a network cable, a mouse, an external keyboard, a printer, and an external monitor through the vertical docking station.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic perspective view of a vertical docking station provided by some embodiments of the present application.

[0028] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station 10 can include a host 11 and a plurality of interfaces 12 exposed on the outer surface of the host 11. A plurality of components can be provided inside the host 11 and connected to the interfaces 12, such as, for example but not limited to, a hub, a control chip (MCU), a PD (Power Delivery) chip, etc. The vertical docking station 10 can be connected to a computer and external devices through the plurality of interfaces 12, so that the computer can be connected to a plurality of external devices through the vertical docking station 10. In some application scenarios, the vertical docking station 10 can be placed on a desktop, and the plurality of interfaces 12 of the vertical docking station 10 can be connected to a laptop and external devices such as, for example but not limited to, one or more external monitors, an external keyboard, and an external speaker.

[0029] In some embodiments, the host 11 may include a first end portion 100 and a second end portion 200 facing away from each other along a first width direction X, and the first width direction X is perpendicular to the height direction Z of the host 11.

[0030] Wherein, the height direction Z of the host 11 may be defined as the vertical direction when the vertical docking station 10 is placed on a flat placement surface. For example, when the vertical docking station 10 is placed on a flat desktop, the height direction Z of the host 11 may be the direction perpendicular to the desktop. It can be understood that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings). If this specific posture changes, then the directional indication also changes accordingly.

[0031] The first width direction X of the host 11 may be any direction perpendicular to the height direction Z. In some embodiments, the first width direction X may be defined as a certain specific direction of the host 11. For example, in an embodiment where the host 11 is a cuboid, the first width direction X may be the width direction or the thickness direction of the host 11. Another example is that in an embodiment where the host 11 is a cube, the first width direction X may be the width direction of the host 11. Still another example is that in an embodiment where the host 11 is a cylinder, the first width direction X may be the radial direction of the host 11. Of course, the first width direction X is not limited to the above specific directions. In addition, the host 11 provided in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the above shapes, and the host 11 may also be other regular shapes or irregular shapes.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic top view structure diagram of the vertical docking station in the embodiment.

[0033] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection area of the first end portion 100 in the height direction Z may be greater than the orthographic projection area of the second end portion 200 in the height direction Z. Among them, the volume of the first end portion 100 may be larger than the volume of the second end portion 200. In the first width direction X, the first end portion 100 may be wider than the second end portion 200. In other words, the orthographic projection length of the first end portion 100 in the height direction may be greater than the orthographic projection length of the second end portion 200 in the height direction.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present application, by designing the two end portions of the host 11 facing away from each other along the first width direction X to be one wider and the other narrower, the host 11 is not easily toppled or displaced when placed, which is beneficial to improving the placement stability of the vertical docking station 10.

[0035] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first end portion 100 and second end portion 200 can be defined as follows: Taking the central axis of the host 11 in the first width direction X as the dividing line, the part of the host 11 on one side is the first end portion 100, and the part of the host 11 on the other side is the second end portion 200. The central axis of the host 11 in the first width direction X can be defined as the first central axis 111. In other words, the first central axis 111 can divide the host 11 into the first end portion 100 and the second end portion 200.

[0036] Among them, the first central axis 111 can be specifically defined as follows: A line located at the middle position of the host 11 in the first width direction X and perpendicular to both the first width direction X and the height direction Z. It can be understood that the central axes of the host 11 in other directions can refer to this definition.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first end portion 100 can be the rear end portion of the host 11, which can be used to face away from the user when the vertical docking station 10 is in use. The second end portion 200 can be the front end portion of the host 11, which can be used to face the user when the vertical docking station 10 is in use. By designing the host 11 into a shape with a narrow front and a wide rear in this embodiment, the placement stability of the host 11 can be improved, and the phenomenon of the host 11 tipping over or shifting during operations such as plugging in and unplugging wires by the user can be avoided.

[0038] In some embodiments, the weight of the first end portion 100 can be greater than the weight of the second end portion 200, so that the host 11 is not easily tipped over or shifted when placed. It can be understood that the embodiments of the present application can control the weights of the respective regions of the host 11 by, for example, but not limited to, setting weight blocks in the respective regions of the host 11, designing the shell thicknesses of the respective regions of the host 11, and using different materials to form the structures of the respective regions of the host 11.

[0039] It can be understood that Figure 1 and Figure 2 the host 11 shown is only an example provided by the present application, and the host 11 in other embodiments of the present application can also have other shapes. For example, the first end portion 100 can be partially wider than the second end portion 200, or can be overall wider than the second end portion 200. Those skilled in the art can design the host 11 into various shapes based on the above features.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic top view structure diagram of a vertical docking station provided by some embodiments of the present application.

[0041] In some embodiments, the host 11 may include a third end 300 and a fourth end 400 facing away from each other along the second width direction Y. The second width direction Y may be another width direction different from the first width direction X, and the second width direction Y and the first width direction X are not parallel to each other. In some embodiments, the second width direction Y may be perpendicular to the first width direction X and the height direction Z, respectively.

[0042] Among them, the third end 300 and the fourth end 400 may be defined as follows: taking the central axis of the host 11 along the second width direction Y as the dividing line, a part of the host 11 on one side is the third end 300, and a part of the host 11 on the other side is the fourth end 400. The central axis of the host 11 along the second width direction Y may be defined as the second central axis 112. In other words, the second central axis 112 may divide the host 11 into the third end 300 and the fourth end 400. Among them, the second central axis 112 may be specifically defined as follows: a line located at the middle position of the host 11 in the second width direction Y and perpendicular to the second width direction Y and the height direction Z, respectively.

[0043] In some embodiments, the third end 300 and the fourth end 400 may be as Figure 3 shown, and the orthographic projection areas of the two in the height direction Z are symmetric along the second central axis 112. Among them, the volume of the third end 300 may be equal to the volume of the fourth end 400. The third end 300 and the fourth end 400 may have the same width in the second width direction Y.

[0044] Optionally, the third end 300 may be the left end of the host 11, and the fourth end 400 may be the right end of the host 11. In this embodiment, by designing the host 11 to have a shape that is narrow in the front and wide in the back and equal in width on the left and right, the placement stability of the host 11 can be improved, and the phenomenon that the host 11 topples or shifts during operations such as plugging and unplugging by the user can be avoided.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is a schematic top view structure diagram of a vertical docking station provided in some other embodiments of the present application.

[0046] In some embodiments, the third end 300 and the fourth end 400 may also be as Figure 4As shown, the orthographic projection areas of the two in the height direction Z are asymmetric along the second central axis 112. The orthographic projection area of the third end 300 in the height direction Z may be greater than the orthographic projection area of the fourth end 400 in the height direction Z. Among them, the volume of the third end 300 may be greater than the volume of the fourth end 400. The third end 300 may be wider than the fourth end 400 in the second width direction Y. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the host 11 may also be designed such that the orthographic projection area of the third in the height direction Z is less than the orthographic projection area of the fourth end 400 in the height direction Z.

[0047] In this embodiment, the host 11 can be designed to have a shape that is narrow in the front and wide in the rear and has unequal left and right widths, so as to improve the placement stability of the host 11 while meeting the usage requirements of the vertical docking station 10 in some specific scenarios.

[0048] It should be understood that the terms used in the specification and appended claims of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the specification and appended claims of the present application, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms. Also, as used in the description of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. Also, as used in the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 . It can be understood that there must be a part of the third end 300 of the host 11 that intersects with the first end 100 and another part that intersects with the second end 200, and the same is true for the fourth end 400. In some embodiments, the part of the third end 300 that intersects with the first end 100 is the first corner 110. The part of the third end 300 that intersects with the second end 200 is the second corner 120. The part of the fourth end 400 that intersects with the first end 100 is the third corner 130. The part of the fourth end 400 that intersects with the second end 200 is the fourth corner 140.

[0050] Optionally, the first end portion 100 may be the rear end portion of the host 11, the second end portion 200 may be the front end portion of the host 11, the third end portion 300 may be the left end portion of the host 11, and the fourth end portion 400 may be the rear end portion of the host 11. In this case, the first corner 110 may be regarded as the left rear end portion of the host 11, the second corner 120 may be regarded as the left front end portion of the host 11, the third corner 130 may be regarded as the right rear end portion of the host 11, and the fourth corner 140 may be regarded as the right front end portion of the host 11.

[0051] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection area of the first corner 110 in the height direction Z may be greater than the orthographic projection area of the second corner 120 in the height direction Z. Among them, the volume of the first corner 110 may be greater than the volume of the second corner 120. The first corner 110 may be wider than the second corner 120 in the second width direction Y.

[0052] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection area of the third corner 130 in the height direction Z may be greater than the orthographic projection area of the fourth corner 140 in the height direction Z. Among them, the volume of the third corner 130 may be greater than the volume of the fourth corner 140. The third corner 130 may be wider than the fourth corner 140 in the second width direction Y.

[0053] The host 11 in some embodiments of the present application may be as Figure 3 shown, the orthographic projection area of the first corner 110 in the height direction Z is greater than the orthographic projection area of the second corner 120 in the height direction Z, and the orthographic projection area of the third corner 130 in the height direction Z is greater than the orthographic projection area of the fourth corner 140 in the height direction Z. Optionally, in this embodiment, the host 11 may be designed such that the left rear end portion is wider than the left front end portion and the right rear end portion is wider than the right front end portion, so as to further improve the placement stability of the host 11 and prevent the host 11 from tipping or shifting when the user performs operations such as plugging in and unplugging wires.

[0054] Of course, the host 11 in some other embodiments of the present application may also be as Figure 4 shown, the orthographic projection area of the first corner 110 in the height direction Z is equal to the orthographic projection area of the second corner 120 in the height direction Z, and the orthographic projection area of the third corner 130 in the height direction Z is greater than the orthographic projection area of the fourth corner 140 in the height direction Z.

[0055] Understandably, in other embodiments of the present application, the orthographic projection area of the first corner 110 of the host 11 in the height direction Z may be greater than, equal to, or less than the orthographic projection area of the second corner 120 in the height direction Z; the orthographic projection area of the third corner 130 of the host 11 in the height direction Z may be greater than, equal to, or less than the orthographic projection area of the fourth corner 140 in the height direction Z. As long as the orthographic projection area of the first end 100 of the host 11 in the height direction Z is greater than the orthographic projection area of the second end 200 in the height direction Z, the placement stability of the host 11 can be improved. The specific shape of the host 11 can be designed according to the usage scenario requirements of the vertical docking station 10.

[0056] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the first corner 110 in the first width direction X may completely cover the second corner 120. In other words, the first corner 110 may be comprehensively wider than the second corner 120 in the first width direction X. For example, the first corner 110 may protrude from the second corner 120 in the second width direction Y. Another example is that the first corner 110 may be flush with the second corner 120 in the second width direction Y.

[0057] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the third corner 130 in the first width direction X may completely cover the fourth corner 140. In other words, the third corner 130 may be comprehensively wider than the fourth corner 140 in the first width direction X. For example, the third corner 130 may protrude from the fourth corner 140 in the second width direction Y. Another example is that the third corner 130 may be flush with the fourth corner 140 in the second width direction Y.

[0058] Embodiments of the present application may design the host 11 such that the orthographic projection area of the first corner 110 in the height direction Z is greater than the orthographic projection area of the second corner 120 in the height direction Z, and the orthographic projection of the first corner 110 in the first width direction X completely covers the second corner 120 to further improve the placement stability of the host 11.

[0059] Similarly, embodiments of the present application may also design the host 11 such that the orthographic projection area of the third corner 130 in the height direction Z is greater than the orthographic projection area of the fourth corner 140 in the height direction Z, and the orthographic projection of the third corner 130 in the first width direction X can completely cover the fourth corner 140 to further improve the placement stability of the host 11.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first corner 110 and the third corner 130 of the host 11 may be Figure 3 as shown, symmetric about the central axis of the host 11 in the second width direction Y, that is, symmetric about the second central axis 112, to further improve the placement stability of the host 11. The second corner 120 of the host 11 may be Figure 3As shown, it is symmetric along the second central axis 112 to further improve the placement stability of the host 11.

[0061] In some other embodiments of the present application, the first corner 110 and the third corner 130 of the host 11 may also be not symmetric along the second central axis 112 as Figure 4 shown, and the same is true for the second corner 120 and the fourth corner 140. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the first corner 110 and the third corner 130 of the host 11 may be symmetric along the second central axis 112, and the second corner 120 and the fourth corner 140 are not symmetric along the second central axis 112, and vice versa.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 which are the schematic perspective views of the vertical docking station provided by some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 5 is the schematic top view of the vertical docking station in the

[0063] In some embodiments, the host 11 may include a bottom end portion 500 and a top end portion 600 that face away from each other in the height direction Z. When the vertical docking station 10 is placed on the placement surface, the bottom end portion 500 may be located below the top end portion 600.

[0064] The bottom end portion 500 and the top end portion 600 may be defined as follows: taking the central axis of the host 11 in the height direction Z as the dividing line, a part of the host 11 on one side is the bottom end portion 500, and a part of the host 11 on the other side is the top end portion 600. The central axis of the host 11 in the height direction Z may be defined as the third central axis 113. In other words, the third central axis 113 may divide the host 11 into the bottom end portion 500 and the top end portion 600. The third central axis 113 may be specifically defined as follows: a line located at the middle position of the host 11 in the height direction Z and perpendicular to the height direction Z.

[0065] In some embodiments, the bottom end portion 500 and the top end portion 600 may be as Figure 5 shown, the orthographic projection area of the bottom end portion 500 in the first width direction X is larger than the orthographic projection area of the top end portion 600 in the first width direction X. Among them, the volume of the bottom end portion 500 may be larger than the volume of the top end portion 600. The bottom end portion 500 may be wider than the top end portion 600 in the first width direction X.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment, the host 11 may be designed to have a shape that is narrow in the front and wide in the back, and wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, so as to improve the placement stability of the host 11 and avoid the phenomenon of the host 11 tipping over or shifting when the user performs operations such as plugging in and unplugging wires.

[0067] Understandably, there must be a part of the bottom end 500 of the host 11 that intersects with the first end 100, and another part that intersects with the second end 200. The same is true for the top end 600. And, there must be a part of the bottom end 500 of the host 11 that intersects with the third end 300, and another part that intersects with the fourth end 400. The same is true for the top end 600. Moreover, in the part where the bottom end 500 intersects with the first end 100, there is further a part that intersects with the third end 300 and another part that intersects with the fourth end 400. The same is true for other parts of the bottom end 500 and the top end 600. In other words, there must be four parts of the bottom end 500 that intersect with the first corner 110, the second corner 120, the third corner 130, and the fourth corner 140 respectively. The same is true for the top end 600.

[0068] In some embodiments, the part where the first corner 110 intersects with the bottom end 500 is the first end corner 210. The part where the first corner 110 intersects with the top end 600 is the second end corner 220. The part where the third corner 130 intersects with the bottom end 500 is the third end corner 230. The part where the third corner 130 intersects with the top end 600 is the fourth end corner 240.

[0069] Optionally, the first corner 110 can be regarded as the left rear end of the host 11, and the third corner 130 can be regarded as the right rear end of the host 11. In this case, the first end corner 210 can be regarded as the left rear bottom end of the host 11, the second end corner 220 can be regarded as the left rear top end of the host 11, the third end corner 230 can be regarded as the right rear bottom end of the host 11, and the fourth end corner 240 can be regarded as the right rear top end of the host 11.

[0070] Among them, the orthographic projection area of the first end corner 210 in the first width direction X can be greater than the orthographic projection area of the second end corner 220 in the first width direction X. The volume of the first end corner 210 can be greater than the volume of the second end corner 220. The first end corner 210 can be wider than the second end corner 220 in the first width direction X.

[0071] The orthographic projection area of the third end corner 230 in the first width direction X can be greater than the orthographic projection area of the fourth end corner 240 in the first width direction X. The volume of the third end corner 230 can be greater than the volume of the fourth end corner 240. The third end corner 230 can be wider than the fourth end corner 240 in the first width direction X.

[0072] Optionally, in this embodiment, the host 11 can be designed such that the left rear bottom end is wider than the left rear top end, and the right rear bottom end is wider than the right rear top end, so as to further improve the placement stability of the host 11 and prevent the host 11 from tipping or shifting when the user performs operations such as plugging in or unplugging wires. Of course, the shape of the host 11 in other embodiments of the present application is not limited to this.

[0073] Optionally, the weight of the first end corner 210 may be greater than the weight of the second end corner 220. The weight of the third end corner 230 may be greater than the weight of the fourth end corner 240.

[0074] In some embodiments, the positive projection of the first end corner 210 in the height direction Z may completely cover the second end corner 220. In other words, the first end corner 210 may be comprehensively wider than the second end corner 220 in the height direction Z.

In other embodiments, the host 11 may not be provided with the second heat dissipation opening 302, and dissipate heat through the third heat dissipation opening 303.

[0091] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the first heat dissipation opening 301 on the first inclined surface 331 and / or providing the third heat dissipation opening 303 on the second inclined surface 341, the collision suffered by the air flow during the flow to the second heat dissipation opening 302 can be reduced, the flow efficiency of the air flow can be improved, and further the heat dissipation efficiency of the vertical docking station 10 can be improved.

[0092] In some embodiments, the bottom side surface 350 may be convexly provided with a first foot pad 351, a second foot pad 352, a third foot pad 353 and a fourth foot pad 354. The bottom side surface 350 may be provided with a fourth heat dissipation opening 304.

[0095] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station 10 may include control keys 710, which can be used to control the operating state of the vertical docking station 10, such as but not limited to power on, power off, function switching, etc. The control keys 710 may be provided on the top side surface 360 of the host 11, so that the pressing force received by the control keys 710 can be a force towards the placement surface of the vertical docking station 10, so that the vertical docking station 10 is not easily toppled or displaced due to the pressing of the control keys 710. In some embodiments, the control keys 710 may be located on the central axis of the host 11 along the first width direction X, that is, on the first central axis 111. In some embodiments, the control keys 710 may be located on the central axis of the host 11 along the second width direction Y, that is, on the second central axis 112. Optionally, the control keys 710 may be located at the overlapping position of the first central axis 111 and the second central axis 112 to minimize the risk of the vertical docking station 10 being toppled or displaced due to the pressing of the control keys 710.

Among them, at least one interface 12 may be provided on both the front side surface 320 and the rear side surface 310, so that after the interface 12 on the front side and the interface 12 on the back side are inserted with connection wires, the host 11 can symmetrically receive the pulling force of the wires, making the host 11 not easily toppled and displaced.

[0097] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station 10 may include a display screen 720, and the display screen 720 may be provided on the front side surface 320. The vertical docking station 10 may include a power cord 730 for connecting to an external power supply, and the power cord 730 may be provided on the rear side surface 310.

[0098] It should be understood that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof used in the specification and appended claims of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally further includes steps or units not listed, or optionally further includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0099] Please refer to the above text in conjunction with Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 . Figure 10 is Figure 7 a partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the vertical docking station in the embodiment. Figure 11 and Figure 12 are respectively Figure 10 the three-dimensional structural schematic diagrams of the vertical docking station shown in two other perspectives.

[0100] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station 10 may include a host 11 and a power supply 13. The power supply 13 can be accommodated inside the host 11. Among them, the power supply 13 can be in a long strip shape. The length direction of the power supply 13 can be substantially parallel to the height direction of the host 11. In other words, the length direction of the power supply 13 can be parallel to the height direction of the host 11. The length direction of the power supply 13 can also be slightly inclined to the height direction of the host 11 so that the two are close to parallel. When the length direction of the power supply 13 is slightly inclined to the height direction of the host 11, the length direction of the power supply 13 can form an acute angle with the height direction of the host 11. The range of this acute angle can be less than or equal to 30 degrees, such as 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, etc. The above control key 710 can be electrically connected to the power supply 13. The above display screen 720 can be electrically connected to the power supply 13.

[0101] Optionally, the power supply 13 can be an AC-DC module power supply. An AC-DC module power supply is a power supply device that converts alternating current into direct current. It usually consists of a transformer, a rectifier, a filter, a voltage regulator, etc. The main function of the AC-DC module power supply is to convert alternating current into direct current to meet the power supply requirements of various electronic devices.

[0102] Related docking stations need to be equipped with an additional power adapter to achieve normal use. Therefore, on the one hand, the docking station is not convenient to carry and use. On the other hand, according to relevant safety regulations, the docking station needs to be controlled according to a temperature rise of 35 degrees Celsius, while the power adapter used with it is controlled according to a temperature rise of 52 degrees Celsius. When the docking station is used in combination with the power adapter, it is easy to cause a poor temperature experience for users. It should be noted that the temperature rise refers to the temperature of each component in the electronic and electrical equipment that is higher than the environment.

[0103] In this application, by accommodating the power supply 13 inside the host 11, the vertical docking station 10 can achieve self-power supply and can be used normally without being equipped with an additional power adapter. This not only improves the portability of the vertical docking station 10 but also helps save the desktop space where the vertical docking station 10 is placed, making the wiring layout between the vertical docking station 10 and external devices neater. When the vertical docking station 10 is in use, it can also control the scenario with a maximum temperature rise of 52 °C for components during use within the range of a 35 °C temperature rise, which is beneficial to enhancing the user's temperature experience.

[0104] This application also adopts a strip-shaped power supply 13 and makes the length direction of the power supply 13 parallel to the height direction of the host 11, so that the cooling air flow flowing inside the host 11 can flow more smoothly along the height direction of the host 11. When the vertical docking station 10 is placed on a placement surface, the cooling air flow can flow smoothly in the direction of gravity, which can enhance the heat exchange inside the host 11 and improve the heat dissipation effect. In some embodiments, a gap can be formed between the power supply 13 and the host 11, and the cooling air flow inside the host 11 can flow through the gap between the power supply 13 and the host 11. It can be understood that the outside air can enter the inside of the host 11 through at least one of the above-mentioned first heat dissipation port 301, third heat dissipation port 303, and fourth heat dissipation port 304 to form a cooling air flow, and then flow out through the second heat dissipation port 302.

[0105] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station may include a circuit board 14. Optionally, the circuit board 14 can be accommodated inside the host 11. The circuit board 14 can be strip-shaped. The length direction of the circuit board 14 can be parallel to the height direction of the host 11 to improve the heat dissipation capacity. The circuit board 14 can be arranged side by side with the power supply 13. The above-mentioned control key 710 can be electrically connected to the power supply 13. The above-mentioned display screen 720 can be electrically connected to the power supply 13. Various electronic components can be provided on the circuit board 14, such as the above-mentioned hub, control chip, PD chip, etc.

[0106] Among them, the power supply 13 can be electrically connected to the circuit board 14, so that the power supply 13 can supply power to the circuit board 14.

[0107] In some embodiments, the power supply 13 can be set at the center of gravity position of the host 11 so that the vertical docking station 10 is not prone to tipping or displacement when placed. It can be understood that the weight of the power supply 13 can account for a large proportion of the overall weight of the vertical docking station 10, such as more than 60%.

[0108] Please further refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 which is a partial structural schematic diagram of the vertical docking station provided in some embodiments of this application.

[0109] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station 10 may include a heat dissipation component 740. The heat dissipation component 740 may be disposed inside the host 11 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the host 11. Optionally, the heat dissipation component 740 may be disposed at the bottom of the host 11. A receiving groove 701 may be provided at the bottom of the host 11, and the heat dissipation component 740 may be limited in position by being embedded in the receiving groove 701. Of course, the heat dissipation component 740 may also be limited in position by other means, such as being adhesively bonded to the bottom of the host 11 with a colloid.

[0110] Optionally, the heat dissipation component 740 is a metal block. The metal block itself can dissipate heat and has a relatively large mass, and can be used as a counterweight to improve the placement stability of the host 11. The heat dissipation component 740 may be disposed at the bottom of the host 11 such that the center of gravity of the host 11 is located at the bottom of the host 11. The power supply 13 may be disposed at the bottom of the host 11 and at the center of gravity of the host 11. By providing the heat dissipation component 740 at the bottom of the host 11 in the present application, the host 11 can be in a state of being cold at the bottom and hot at the top, which is beneficial to improving the flow efficiency of the air flow through the above-mentioned heat dissipation ports.

[0111] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 14 which is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the vertical docking station provided in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 15 is Figure 14 a partial three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the vertical docking station in the embodiment.

[0112] In some embodiments, the host 11 may include a housing 810 and a middle frame 820. Among them, the housing 810 encloses to form a receiving space 801. The middle frame 820 may be disposed in the receiving space 801 and divide the receiving space 801 into a first space 802 and a second space 803. In other words, the receiving space 801 may be divided into two spaces with the middle frame 820 as the boundary. The power supply 13 of the vertical docking station 10 may be received in the first space 802, and the circuit board 14 may be received in the second space 803. It can be understood that the first space 802 and the second space 803 are not limited to two separated spaces, and the two may be in communication with each other.

[0113] It can be understood that Figure 10 the partial vertical docking station 10 shown is Figure 7 the structure of the vertical docking station 10 shown after removing the housing 810.

[0114] Among them, the outer shell 810 can be in a hollow shape. In some embodiments, the outer shell 810 can be a hollow structure surrounded on all four sides. The outer shell 810 can be used to form the above-mentioned left side surface 330, right side surface 340, bottom side surface 350, and top side surface 360 of the host 11. The middle frame 820 can be used to form the above-mentioned rear side surface 310 of the host 11. The host 11 can further include a front shell 830, and the front shell 830 can be covered at the front end of the outer shell 810 to form the above-mentioned front side surface 320 of the host 11. Among them, the front shell 830 can be connected to the middle frame 820, such as but not limited to snap connection, bonding, etc. The middle frame 820 can be connected to the inner side surface of the outer shell 810, such as but not limited to snap connection, bonding, etc. Figure 15 Shown is the structure of the vertical docking station 10 with the front shell 830 removed.

[0115] In other embodiments, the outer shell 810 can also be of other shapes. For example, a plate body for forming the rear side surface 310 can be provided at the rear end of the outer shell 810. In other embodiments, the host 11 can also not be provided with the front shell 830. For example, the middle frame 820 is used to form the front side surface 320.

[0116] Among them, the middle frame 820 can include a partition plate 821. The opposite side surfaces of the partition plate 821 are respectively exposed to the first space 802 and the second space 803. The power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can be respectively located on the opposite sides of the partition plate 821. Among them, the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can be arranged along the above-mentioned second width direction Y. The power supply 13 can be arranged between the partition plate 821 and the part of the outer shell 810 for forming the left side surface 330, and the circuit board 14 can be arranged between the partition plate 821 and the part of the outer shell 810 for forming the right side surface 340. Of course, the positions of the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can also be swapped.

[0117] It can be understood that in the case where the volume of the power supply 13 is larger than the volume of the circuit board 14, the first space 802 can be larger than the second space 803. The power supply 13 can be arranged at the center of gravity position of the bottom of the outer shell 810.

[0118] In this application, by respectively arranging the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 in the first space 802 and the second space, it is possible to avoid the superposition of the heat of the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 in the gravity direction, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation capacity of the vertical docking station 10.

[0119] Please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 which is a schematic structural diagram of the middle frame provided by some embodiments of this application.

[0120] In some embodiments, the partition plate 821 may be provided with at least one heat conduction hole 804. The heat conduction hole 804 communicates with the first space 802 and the second space 803, and can be used to conduct the hot air in the first space 802 to the second space 803, so as to avoid heat accumulation in the first space 802. It can be understood that the power supply 13 generates more heat during operation, so the heat in the first space 802 is more likely to accumulate than that in the second space 802. By providing the heat conduction hole 804 in the partition plate 821 in this application, the hot air in the first space 802 can dissipate heat by means of the second space 802, so as to improve the overall heat dissipation capacity of the vertical docking station 10, which is beneficial to improving the user's temperature experience.

[0121] Wherein, the sum of the occupied areas of all the heat conduction holes 804 on the partition plate 821 is not less than 30%. In other words, the ratio of the sum of the areas of the heat conduction holes 804 to the overall area of the partition plate 821 without the heat conduction holes 804 is not less than 30%. In some embodiments, a plurality of heat conduction holes 804 may be provided, and the plurality of heat conduction holes 804 may be distributed at different positions on the partition plate 821. Among them, the positions, numbers, and sizes of the heat conduction holes 804 are not limited. For example, the plurality of heat conduction holes 804 may be arranged in an array.

[0122] In some embodiments, the middle frame 820 may further include a support plate 822. The support plate 822 may be provided at the end of the partition plate 821. The support plate 822 can be used to improve the strength of the middle frame 820. The support plate 822 can abut against the outer shell 810 to improve the assembly stability of the middle frame 820. The number and position of the support plate 822 are not specifically limited. For example, the support plate 822 may be provided at one end of the partition plate 821 to form a T-shaped middle frame 820. Another example is that the support plate 822 may be provided at opposite ends of the partition plate 821 to form an I-shaped middle frame 820. Still another example is that the partition plate 821 may be rectangular, and the support plate 822 may be provided at the four side ends of the partition plate 821.

[0123] Optionally, the middle frame 820 may be connected to the outer shell 810 through the support plate 822, such as but not limited to snap connection, bonding, etc. The power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 may be fixed to the middle frame 820 and be loaded into the accommodation space 801 together with the middle frame 820 during assembly. Specifically, it may be connected to the partition plate 821 or connected to the support plate 822, and the connection method is such as but not limited to snap connection, bonding, etc. Of course, the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 may also be fixed to the outer shell 810.

[0124] Please refer to Figure 14 and Figure 17 , Figure 17 which is a partial assembly structure schematic diagram of the vertical docking station provided by some embodiments of the present application.

[0125] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station 10 may include a heat conducting member 840.
