Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bracket expansion dock, specifically a multi-functional bracket expansion dock suitable for Apple consoles. Background Technology

[0002] An Apple console stand / dock is an external device designed specifically for Apple consoles, primarily used to expand the connectivity options and functionality of Apple consoles. It allows Apple consoles to easily connect to multiple external devices and accessories, such as mice, external keyboards, printers, and external monitors, by replicating or even expanding the ports on the console.

[0003] Currently, most Apple device docking stations on the market are designed without a stand, which prevents them from working perfectly with the device. They are often placed haphazardly, resulting in the device and dock taking up excessive desk space and potentially causing various connection problems. This severely impacts the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-functional stand expansion dock suitable for Apple host. It can provide additional interfaces for the host and keep the host stable. The main body of the stand expansion dock occupies very little desktop space and is integrated with the host. During use, there will be no problem of cables coming loose or the host separating from the main body of the stand expansion dock.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-functional bracket expansion dock suitable for Apple host devices, comprising a bracket expansion dock body and a host device fixed on the bracket expansion dock body. The bracket expansion dock body includes a bottom expansion part and a top expansion part disposed on the bottom expansion part. The bottom expansion part includes a bottom panel, and the lower end surface of the bottom panel is provided with a solid-state drive mounting slot. The top expansion part includes a top panel. The bottom panel and the top panel are integrally formed and are both made of aluminum alloy. The top panel has a U-shaped design, and the inner walls on both sides of the top panel are provided with inclined inner walls. Both inclined inner walls are in contact with the host device, so that the host device remains stable when placed on the top panel. The top panel is a cavity structure with openings at both ends and a hollow interior. Side covers are provided at the openings at both ends of the top panel. Expansion interfaces are provided at both ends of the top panel and on the two side covers. A PCBA board is installed in the cavity of the top panel. An M.2 hard drive bay is provided at the bottom of the PCBA board, and the position of the M.2 hard drive bay corresponds to the opening of the solid-state drive mounting slot.

[0006] Preferably, the main body of the bracket expansion dock also includes a data cable. The end of the data cable closer to the host has two ports, which are connected to the PCBA board and the host respectively. The port connected to the main body of the bracket expansion dock is used to power the PCBA board, and the port connected to the host serves to power and transmit data. The end of the data cable away from the host is used to connect to an external power source.

[0007] Preferably, multiple silicone pads are fixed on the lower end surface of the bottom panel, and the multiple silicone pads are distributed in a rectangular array; the silicone pads are used to increase the friction between the bottom panel and the tabletop to ensure stability.

[0008] Preferably, a bottom sealing plate is fixed to the opening of the solid-state drive (SSD) mounting slot with screws. The lower end face of the bottom sealing plate is flush with the lower end face of the bottom panel. The bottom sealing plate is used to protect the SSD installed in the SSD mounting slot. The SSD is a 2280 form factor. A thermal pad can be pasted between the SSD and the bottom sealing plate to transfer the heat of the SSD to the bottom sealing plate and dissipate it.

[0009] Preferably, the expansion interfaces include DP, HDMI, TYPE-A, TYPE-C, TF card and SD card interfaces.

[0010] Preferably, the side cover is fixed to the top panel by screws located at its four corners.

[0011] Preferably, two protective cotton pads are fixedly bonded inside the top panel. The two protective cotton pads are symmetrically designed and are respectively attached to both ends of the main unit. The two ends of the main unit are positioned and cushioned. The protective cotton pads can be made of EVA cotton.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model combines the bracket and the expansion dock into one unit, which can provide additional interfaces for the host to enhance its expandability, and can also support the host to keep it stable. At the same time, the bracket and expansion dock occupy very little desktop space and are integrated with the host, so there will be no problem of cables coming loose or the host separating from the bracket and expansion dock during use, thus realizing the function of desktop decoration.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the expansion interfaces on the bottom and top panels are hidden on their surfaces, making them convenient to use. They do not obstruct the main body of the expansion dock from the surface, thus maintaining both aesthetics and practicality. Attached Figure Description
