Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of keyboards with built-in docking stations, and particularly to a keyboard with a built-in docking station. Background Technique
[0002] As an input device, a tablet keyboard can improve the typing speed of a tablet computer and perform basic operations. A docking station, as an interface expansion device, is used to expand more interfaces for devices such as computers to meet different functional requirements. In the current technology, when a tablet computer wants to expand more interfaces, it generally directly externally connects a docking station and cannot be connected to the docking station through the tablet keyboard. Moreover, the interfaces on the tablet computer are usually set at its bottom. After connecting the docking station, the externally connected connection cable easily affects the normal operation of the tablet computer (such as pulling the connection cable during operation), resulting in problems such as a messy desktop, and at the same time increasing the usage space of the tablet computer and reducing the convenience of use.
[0003] The Chinese patent with the publication number CN220208222U discloses a tablet keyboard with a built-in expansion interface, including a keyboard body. An internal component is provided at the front end of the keyboard body. The internal component includes a storage box, and the storage box is embedded inside the keyboard body. A clamping box is slidably installed inside the storage box, and a docking station is fixed inside the clamping box. A plurality of sockets are equally spaced on both sides of the docking station. A cable storage box is fixed on the back of the storage box, and a connection cable is stored inside the cable storage box. When the docking station is stored inside the storage box, the insertion plate at the top of the clamping box is inserted into the slot plate to form a clamping fixation to maintain the stability of the docking station. Compared with the prior art, the storage box stores the docking station inside the keyboard body, which is sealed by a magnetic plate when not in use to prevent dust from entering, and is pulled out through a slide rail when in use. A plurality of sockets of different models on both sides can meet the connection and use of multiple external devices.
[0004] However, the above patent has the following deficiencies: The above patent pulls out the internal component from the keyboard body and then inserts the corresponding connection cable into the internal component. However, pulling out the internal component during use increases the overall volume of the keyboard and is not aesthetically pleasing. Content of the Utility Model
