Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer accessories technology, specifically an expansion dock that can store and protect the plug. Background Technology

[0002] A docking station, also known as a port replicator, is an external device designed specifically for laptops. By replicating or even expanding the ports of a laptop, it allows for convenient one-stop connection between the laptop and multiple accessories or external devices.

[0003] A search revealed an expansion dock with announcement number CN218887662U that can store and protect a plug. When the movable connector is inserted into the socket, a limiting block can engage with the engaging groove of the movable connector to fix the connector in place. Furthermore, a baffle prevents dust from entering the interface. This solves the problem that when the expansion dock is not in use, the movable connector is inserted into the expansion dock housing. If it is dropped when picked up or subjected to pulling force, the connector will be pulled out forcefully, causing wear and tear on the movable connector and interface, which will affect the subsequent use of the expansion dock.

[0004] However, in the application of the above solution, due to the lack of effective management measures, the connecting cables are prone to getting tangled with other wires when carried, making the management process before use quite cumbersome.

[0005] To address this issue, the present invention provides an expansion dock that can retract and protect the plug. Summary of the Invention

A storage box is fixedly connected to one side of the cable tray.

[0008] Preferably, the take-up assembly includes a linear slide bar, a displacement frame, a take-up sleeve, and a helical spring. The linear slide bar is fixedly connected inside the take-up box, and the displacement frame is slidably connected to the outside of the linear slide bar. The take-up sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the displacement frame. The transmission line enters from one end of the take-up box, passes through one end and the other end of the take-up sleeve in sequence, and finally exits from the other end of the take-up box. A stabilizing cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the displacement frame. A linear groove is formed at the top of the take-up box, and the stabilizing cylinder is located inside the linear groove. A transmission screw is threaded to the top of the stabilizing cylinder, and a stabilizing plate is rotatably connected to one end of the transmission screw inside the stabilizing cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, one end and one side of the take-up box are provided with clearance holes, and the transmission line is slidably connected inside the clearance holes.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 An expansion dock with a retractable and protective plug includes an expansion dock body 1, a transmission line 2, and a plug body 3. One end of the expansion dock body 1 is fixedly connected to the transmission line 2, and the other end of the transmission line 2 away from the expansion dock body 1 is fixedly connected to the plug body 3. A cable tray 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the expansion dock body 1. A cable tray assembly 5 is provided inside the cable tray 4 for organizing the transmission line 2. A storage box 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the cable tray 4.

[0024] In detail, the take-up box 4 has clearance holes on one end and one side, and the transmission line 2 is slidably connected inside the clearance holes. The clearance holes allow the transmission line 2 to pass through the take-up box 4, ensuring the smooth connection between the transmission line 2 and the take-up box 4.

[0025] The take-up assembly 5 includes a linear slide bar 7, a displacement frame 8, a take-up sleeve 9, and a helical spring 10. The linear slide bar 7 is fixedly connected inside the take-up box 4, and the displacement frame 8 is slidably connected to the outside of the linear slide bar 7. The take-up sleeve 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the displacement frame 8. The transmission line 2 enters from one end of the take-up box 4, passes through one end and the other end of the take-up sleeve 9 in sequence, and finally exits from the other end of the take-up box 4.

[0026] Here, the take-up sleeve 9 is U-shaped, and protective rings are provided at the bends of the take-up sleeve 9. By utilizing the structural characteristics of the take-up sleeve 9, the end of the take-up sleeve 9 will not damage the transmission line 2. Multiple ball bearings are installed inside the take-up sleeve 9.

[0027] The top of the displacement frame 8 is fixedly connected to a stabilizing cylinder 11. The top of the take-up box 4 is provided with a straight slide groove, and the stabilizing cylinder 11 is located inside the straight slide groove. The top of the stabilizing cylinder 11 is threadedly connected to a transmission screw 12. One end of the transmission screw 12 located inside the stabilizing cylinder 11 is rotatably connected to a stabilizing plate 13.

[0028] Furthermore, both sides of the stabilizing cylinder 11 are fixedly connected to limit grooves, and both ends of the stabilizing plate 13 are fixedly connected to stabilizing strips. The stabilizing strips are slidably connected inside the limit grooves, and the bottom end of the stabilizing strips is fixedly connected to an anti-slip pad. The bottom end of the anti-slip pad has multiple anti-slip patterns. By using the limit grooves, the displacement of the stabilizing plate 13 can be effectively guided, preventing the stabilizing plate 13 from rotating with the transmission screw 12.

[0029] Furthermore, a positioning magnet A14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the storage box 6, and a positioning magnet B15 is fixedly connected to one side of the plug body 3. The positioning magnet B15 is magnetically connected to the positioning magnet A14. By utilizing the structural cooperation of the positioning magnet A14 and the positioning magnet B15, when the cord retractor 4 is inserted into the storage box 6, the positioning magnet A14 can attract the positioning magnet B15, thereby locking the position of the plug body 3.

[0030] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0031] The working principle is as follows: First, the plug body 3 is pulled out from the storage box 6, and the stabilizing cylinder 11 is pulled, which causes the displacement frame 8 to slide on the outside of the linear slide bar 7 and compress the spiral spring 10. Then, the transmission line 2 is pulled outward, so that the transmission line 2 is guided by the take-up sleeve 9 and moves part of the transmission line 2 out of the take-up box 4. Then, the transmission screw 12 is rotated, which, in conjunction with the connection between the stabilizing cylinder 11 and the transmission screw 12, allows the transmission screw 12 to be screwed into the stabilizing cylinder 11, thereby driving the stabilizing plate 13 to move until the stabilizing plate 13 is in close contact with the top of the take-up box 4, thereby locking the position of the displacement frame 8.

[0032] After the plug body 3 is connected to the laptop, data transmission can be performed. After the docking station body 1 is used, first disconnect the plug body 3 from the laptop, then rotate the transmission screw 12 in the opposite direction to move the stabilizing plate 13 away from the cable retractor 4, thereby unlocking the position of the displacement bracket 8. The return of the spiral spring 10 pushes the displacement bracket 8 back to the initial position, retracting the transmission cable 2 into the cable retractor 4, thus effectively placing the plug body 3. Finally, insert the plug body 3 into the storage box 6 and attach it through the positioning magnet A14 to complete the effective protection of the plug body 3.
