Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of data communication, in particular to a compatible data transfer reading device. Background Art

[0002] With technological advancements in smartphones, digital cameras, and photographic equipment, image resolutions have evolved from 480p / 720p / 1080p to ultra-high-definition resolutions such as 2K / 4K / 8K. This has significantly improved image quality, resulting in smooth, detailed images and an exceptional video experience. However, with the prevalence of high-resolution video cameras, the size of recorded video files has also increased exponentially, placing increasing demands on the storage media used in cameras. Storage media specifications have evolved from SD / MicroSD to ultra-high-speed memory cards such as CFast / XQD / CFexpress Type B, with significant changes in physical size and transmission protocols. Traditional card readers struggle to accommodate multiple physical card sizes and protocols in a single product, forcing users to purchase multiple card readers to access data from their memory cards. Memory cards are also very expensive, and long-term recording sessions often face storage limitations. Users also need to regularly transfer data, creating a need for additional high-capacity storage, such as the popular M.2 SSD. Aware of the needs of such users, we hope to achieve storage data transfer through a multi-protocol card reader and hard disk box, which can act as a data center for user convenience. The secondary copy process can also be omitted during later editing of data. The device can be directly connected to the computer for multimedia data editing and simultaneous card reading operations.

[0025] See also Figure 6 Working principle: When the UFP Type C 40Gbps Receptacle is connected to a host device such as a mobile phone, tablet or computer, this product will immediately communicate with the host upstream device so that it can be automatically recognized on the host upstream device.

[0026] The USB4 / Thunderbolt to PCIe Gen4 x4 Controller generates two downstream ports: DFP1 (M.2 PCIe & NVMe SSD) and DFP2 (CFexpress). These two downstream ports can each connect to a downstream device. The USB4 / Thunderbolt to PCIe Gen4 x4 Controller establishes communication with the host upstream device connected to the UFP Type C 40Gbps Receptacle, sharing host device data with the two downstream ports: DFP1 (M.2 PCIe & NVMe SSD) and DFP2 (CFexpress). Data from these two downstream ports can also be exchanged with the host device.

[0027] Insert an M.2 PCIe & NVMe SSD into the M.2 port DFP1 on this product. This port converts data into data format compatible with the M.2 PCIe & NVMe SSD via the USB4 / Thunderbolt to PCIe Gen4 x4 Controller. Data (such as photos, videos, and files) on a connected device like a smartphone, tablet, or computer (such as a computer) can then be conveniently stored or backed up on the M.2 PCIe & NVMe SSD. The USB4 / Thunderbolt to PCIe Gen4 x4 Controller also converts data from the M.2 PCIe & NVMe SSD into a format compatible with the smartphone, tablet, or computer, and transmits it to the smartphone, tablet, or computer via the UFP Type-C 40Gbps Receptacle. This allows smartphones, tablets, or computers to easily access and manipulate data on the M.2 PCIe & NVMe SSD.

[0028] Insert the CFexpress card into the DFP2 CFexpress port of this product. This DFP2 CFexpress port converts the data format into data that the CFexpress card can recognize through the USB4 / Thunderbolt to PCle Gen4 x4 Controller unit. Data (such as photos, videos, files, etc.) on the host upstream device such as the mobile phone, tablet or computer connected to this product can be conveniently stored or backed up on the CFexpress card on this product. At the same time, the USB4 / Thunderbolt to PCle Gen4 x4 Controller unit can also convert the data on the CFexpress card into a data format that the mobile phone, tablet or computer can recognize, and transmit it to the mobile phone, tablet or computer through the UFP Type C 40Gbps Receptacle. In this way, the mobile phone, tablet or computer can also easily access and operate the data on the CFexpress card on this product.

[0029] Connecting a Type-C DC power supply to the DC Power Type-C Receptacle port provides ample power for your product, ensuring more stable and reliable operation. This is especially important for low-power host upstream devices (such as mobile phones and tablets). Otherwise, insufficient power from the host upstream device could cause insufficient power supply to your product, potentially leading to interruptions or unstable operation.

(PCIe & MVMe) + CFexpress Type B interface combination and protocol compatibility. It can access data from digital devices such as digital cameras and high-definition video cameras that use different card specifications, and can store data in the M.2 storage hard drive of this device for transfer. In this way, under limited conditions, such as insufficient computer storage space or a full outdoor camera memory card, data can be transferred to the M.2 hard drive space of this device. At the same time, data can also be edited and read and shared on devices such as mobile phones through upstream USB transmission;

[0031] In terms of hardware, the packaging cover 1 is detachably connected to the shell 8 through the plug-in tongue 11 and the self-spring snap mechanism 13. When assembling the internal components, the packaging cover 1 can be completely separated from the shell 8, so that the cavity opening is provided with the maximum space for the assemblers, thereby simplifying the assembly operation; the hard disk heat sink 2 uses a tension adjustment screw 3 to achieve adjustable pressure between the M.2 SSD solid-state drive 4, which is not only effectively compatible with solid-state drives of different thickness specifications, but also ensures the quality of heat conduction, achieves efficient heat dissipation, and guarantees the service life of the solid-state drive.
