[0018] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by this application more clearly understood, this application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0019] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed on” or “disposed on” another element, it may be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0020] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0022] With the development of the short video industry, more and more people are participating in filming, using electronic devices such as cameras, SLR cameras, mirrorless cameras, and mobile phones. These devices typically use memory cards or internal storage as storage media. With the increasing demand for shooting resolution and lossless video, traditional memory cards and the internal storage of electronic devices can no longer meet the needs of large-capacity and high-speed data storage. PSSD, with its compact size and large capacity, has become the preferred choice for both office and entertainment.

[0023] Since the Type-C interface supports reversible insertion, it is very convenient to use. With the upgrade of the version, the transmission speed is getting faster and faster, so PSSD is usually equipped with a Type-C interface. More and more electronic devices such as cameras, SLRs, micro-singles and mobile phones are also equipped with Type-C interfaces. For example: the interface of the iPhone 15 mobile phone has been changed from Lightning to Type-C. In order to obtain better shooting effects, users often use handheld gimbals, rabbit cages, fill lights, radio equipment, external lenses, etc., and use them in combination as needed to solve complex shooting scenes and achieve professional shooting effects.

[0024] Electronic devices typically have only one Type-C port. When multiple Type-C peripherals need to be connected, a docking station (hub) is often used to expand the port. Electronic devices such as PSSDs and mobile phones connect to the hub via a data cable.

[0025] When filming, cameras, phones, hubs, and other electronic devices are often secured using a cage or gimbal. When using a cage, the hub can be fixed to the cage or an auxiliary bracket. This makes the cage heavier and the wiring more complicated. For scenes using a gimbal, the gimbal has axis load limits, and the wiring can affect the rotation during rotation, which can easily cause malfunctions.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the PSSD provided by an embodiment of the present application. PSSD 100 includes: a USB Type-C male connector 101, two USB Type-C female connectors: a first USB Type-C female connector 103 and a second USB Type-C female connector 102, a hub controller 104, a PD controller 107, a flash memory controller 105, and a flash memory chip 106. Hub controller 104 is connected to USB Type-C male connector 101, first USB Type-C female connector 102, and second USB Type-C female connector 103, respectively. PD controller 107 is connected to USB Type-C male connector 101 and second USB Type-C female connector 103, respectively. PD controller 107 is used to output power from USB Type-C female connector 103 to charge electronic devices through USB Type-C male connector 101. Flash memory controller 105 is used to store data acquired from USB Type-C male connector 101 in flash memory chip 106. This allows the USB Type-C male connector to be connected to external devices, reducing wiring. It can be connected to other peripherals through the USB Type-C socket. In addition, the embodiment of the present application also supports charging function, which enhances the practicality of PSSD and improves the user experience.

See 2B, Figure 2B 300 is a side view of PSSD100 connected to mobile phone 200 via U-shaped interface 300. In this embodiment, the pictures or videos and other data captured by mobile phone 200 can be stored in flash memory chip 106 via U-shaped interface 300, USB Type-C male connector 101, and flash memory controller 105. It should be noted that PSSD100 can be connected to mobile phone 200 via U-shaped interface 300, or as Figure 3 As shown, PSSD 100 is connected to mobile phone 200 by directly inserting USB Type-C male connector 101 into the USB Type-C female connector of mobile phone 200. It is understandable that the external electronic device is not limited to mobile phones, but can also be electronic devices such as tablets, laptops, cameras, etc., which are not limited here.

[0031] like Figure 6 The PSSD600 shown Figure 1 The difference between the PSSD 100 and the PSSD 100 is that the PD controller 107 is connected to the first USB Type-C female connector 102 and the USB Type-C male connector 101. That is, the USB Type-C female connector connected to the PD controller 107 can be on the same side of the PSSD as the USB Type-C male connector, or on different sides. Figure 6 As shown in .

[0032] like Figure 7 The PSSD700 shown with Figure 1 The difference between the PSSD 100 and the PSSD 100 is that the PD controller 104 is connected to the first USB Type-C female connector 102 and the USB Type-C male connector 101. That is, the USB Type-C female connector connected to the PD controller 107 can be on the same side of the PSSD as the USB Type-C male connector, or on different sides. Figure 6 As shown in .
