TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of mobile storage devices, and particularly relates to an expansion dock with a storage function. BACKGROUND

[0002] The expansion dock, also known as a port replicator, is an external device specially designed for a notebook computer. By replicating or even expanding the ports of the notebook computer, the notebook computer can be conveniently connected to multiple accessories or external devices (such as a power adapter, a network cable, a mouse, an external keyboard, a printer, and an external display). With the gradual development of mobile intelligent devices, the expansion dock can not only meet the expansion interface connection of the notebook computer, but also can be connected with various electronic products, increase various types of data ports, and further improve the expansion performance.

[0003] In order to increase the performance of the expansion dock, the expansion dock combined with a mobile hard disk has also been put on the market. A common implementation form is to add a storage unit capable of setting a solid state disk to the expansion dock, so that the expansion dock integrates the storage function, and the expansion dock can be used like a mobile hard disk. When data transmission is needed, a data line can be connected between the expansion dock and an external device, so as to realize data transmission.

[0004] Although the data line can be a matching part sold with the expansion dock, the data line is an independent accessory, and the data line is small and light, and is easy to forget or lose. The carrying or storage of the data line is not convenient. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the embodiment of the application is to provide an expansion dock with a storage function, so as to solve the storage and storage problems of the data line equipped on the expansion dock in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the application is to provide an expansion dock with a storage function, comprising:

[0007] an upper box body provided with an expansion interface, a storage unit, and a data line in electrical connection with the storage unit, the data line extending out of the expansion dock;

[0008] a lower box body connected with the upper box body through a telescopic mechanism;

[0009] The telescopic mechanism comprises a guide ring extending from the upper box body to the lower box body, and the outer periphery of the guide ring is provided with a stroke limiting structure matched with the lower box body, so that the upper box body and the lower box body can be close to each other or expanded, so as to form a storage space for winding the data line between the upper box body and the lower box body.

[0010] The docking station provided by the application has the beneficial effects that, compared with the prior art, the docking station provided by the embodiment of the application comprises an upper box body and a lower box body, the upper box body is provided with an expansion interface and a storage unit, and the expansion interface is used to realize the expansion connection function. The docking station has data lines extending outward, and the storage unit can be connected with external equipment by using the data lines to realize data transmission. Since the data lines are integrally connected to the docking station, the data lines are not separate accessories, and the data lines can be stored together with the docking station, thereby effectively avoiding the problem that the data lines are easily lost in actual use.

[0011] For the storage structure of the data lines on the docking station, a telescopic mechanism is arranged between the upper box body and the lower box body, and the upper box body and the lower box body can be relatively close to each other or expanded by the telescopic mechanism, so that a storage space capable of winding the data lines is formed between the upper box body and the lower box body. In this way, the length of the data lines is not limited on the docking station of the application, the data lines can be wound around the outer periphery of the guide ring between the upper box body and the lower box body and stored in the storage space between the upper box body and the lower box body, and a hidden storage design is realized. The data lines are only drawn out to be connected with external equipment when in use, thereby effectively avoiding the interference of the data lines when the expansion interface is used.

[0012] The structure of the telescopic mechanism is improved, the stroke limiting structure comprises at least two limiting blocks arranged at different heights on the outer periphery of the guide ring, the lower box body is provided with a ring for the guide ring to extend into, and the ring is provided with a buckle hole matched with the position of the limiting block; and the at least two limiting blocks are respectively buckled and positioned with the buckle hole to limit the moving stroke of the guide ring in the ring. In this way, at least two stroke limiting parts are formed on the telescopic mechanism, thereby setting the range of mutual close or expansion of the upper box body and the lower box body.

[0013] In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the guide ring is provided with a buckle hook, and the ring is provided with a buckling part for buckling the buckle hook, thereby effectively preventing the upper box body and the lower box body from being separated from each other.

[0014] In one embodiment, the outer periphery of the guide ring is further provided with a guide rib, and the ring is provided with a guide groove for the guide rib to extend into. The guide rib can move linearly along the guide groove on the ring, thereby effectively improving the stability of the mutual movement of the upper box body and the lower box body.

[0015] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the lower box body and the ring have a receiving groove for the data lines to be embedded. In this way, the inner part of the lower box body has enough space to accommodate the cable part of the data lines, so that the data lines can be wound around the outer periphery of the ring and accommodated in the receiving groove of the lower box body, thereby enabling the upper box body and the lower box body to be close to each other when they are close to each other, and effectively hiding the data lines in the inner part of the docking station.

[0016] The fixing structure of the data line connector is improved, the fixing groove for embedding the data line connector is arranged on the outer periphery of the docking station, and the cable part of the data line is accommodated in the interior of the docking station, and the connector of the data line is fixed in the fixing groove outside the docking station, so that the storage problem of the data line connector is solved. In this way, after the cable of the data line is accommodated in the interior of the docking station, the connector of the data line can be fixed on the outer surface of the docking station, so that the connector of the data line cannot easily shield the docking interface and affect the use.

[0017] In one embodiment, the docking station is provided with a magnetic member in the fixing groove, and the connector of the data line is provided with a magnetic attraction member for mutual magnetic attraction with the magnetic member, so as to form a mutual magnetic attraction fixing structure.

[0018] In one embodiment, the docking station is further provided with a step in the fixing groove, and the terminal on the connector of the data line abuts against the step. In this way, the step fills the gap below the terminal part, effectively supports the terminal, so as to avoid damage to the terminal under the action of external force, and improves the fixing effect of the data line connector.

[0019] The storage unit structure of the docking station is improved, the storage unit includes a mounting seat for mounting a solid state disk, the mounting seat is provided with a detachable fixing member, and the fixing member is used for fixing the extended end of the solid state disk. In this way, the user can install the solid state disk with a corresponding storage capacity on the mounting seat according to the use demand, and the fixing member on the mounting seat can adapt to the installation and fixation of solid state disks of different specifications.

[0041] In order to make the technical problems to be solved by the present application, technical solutions and beneficial effects clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not intended to limit the present application.

[0042] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can 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 can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0043] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only used to facilitate the description of the present application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0044] In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0045] The conventional docking station combined with the structure of the mobile hard disk generally adds a storage unit capable of setting a solid state disk to the docking station, so that the docking station integrates the storage function, and the docking station can also be used like the mobile hard disk. When data transmission is needed, a data line can be connected between the docking station and external equipment such as a computer, a smart phone, a tablet computer and the like, so as to realize data transmission. In actual application, although the data line can be a matching part sold with the mobile body, the data line is an independent accessory, the data line is small and light in size, and is easy to forget or lose, and the carrying or storage of the data line is inconvenient.

[0046] In the related art, there is a linear slot opened on the docking station for accommodating the data line of the separate accessory. However, the volume of the linear slot is very limited, which limits the overall volume of the docking station, resulting in that the docking station cannot be made small. If a relatively long data line is used, the data line can only be coiled on the docking station, which greatly affects the use or appearance of the docking station. It can be seen that there is a storage and storage problem for the data line equipped on the docking station.

[0047] Herein, the embodiment of the present application provides a new docking station with storage function, which is designed to hide the storage of the data line equipped on the docking station, so that the data line can be hidden and stored in the docking station. When in use, the data line can be pulled out from the docking station to connect with the external equipment to realize data transmission, so that the appearance of the docking station is simple and fashionable, avoiding the interference caused by the use of the expansion interface, effectively solving the storage and storage problem of the data line equipped on the traditional docking station, which will be described in detail.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the docking station comprises an upper box body 1 and a lower box body 2, the upper box body 1 is provided with an expansion interface 11, a storage unit 3 and a data line 4.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 , the upper box body 1 can have a plurality of expansion interfaces 11, which are arranged around the outer periphery of the upper box body 1. These expansion interfaces 11 are different types of data ports, which can include but are not limited to TYPE-C, USB, HDMI, RJ45 network port, etc., in order to adapt to different mobile terminals for data connection or network connection. Each expansion interface 11 can include one or more, which can be set according to the outer periphery area of the upper box body 1 or the available space on the upper box body 1, which is not limited here. The above-mentioned expansion interface 11 can be arranged on a main control board (not shown in the figure) inside the upper box body 1.

[0050] In the embodiment, the upper box body 1 has a space for mounting a solid state disk 100, so that the solid state disk 100 such as M2 solid state disk 100 can be mounted in the upper box body 1, thereby forming a storage unit 3 on the docking station, which is electrically connected with the main control board arranged in the upper box body 1.

[0051] The data line 4 is electrically connected with the storage unit 3, and specifically can be electrically connected with the storage unit 3 through a main control board, and the data line 4 extends from the main control board to the outside of the docking station. In use, the data line 4 is connected between the docking station and an external device to realize data reading, writing and transmission of the storage unit 3 and the like. It can be seen that the docking station of the present application has the data line 4 which can be extended from the docking station and connected with the external device, avoiding the storage problem of the data line 4 as a separate accessory, and being conducive to preventing the data line 4 from being easily lost.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lower box body 2 is connected with the upper box body 1 through a telescopic mechanism, and the telescopic mechanism at least includes a guide ring 5 arranged on the upper box body 1, which extends from the upper box body 1 to the lower box body 2.

[0053] The outer periphery of the guide ring 5 and the lower box body 2 have a matching stroke limiting structure, so that the lower box body 2 can be telescopically moved at the bottom of the upper box body 1, so that the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 can be close to each other or expanded, so as to form a storage space M between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 for winding the data line 4.

[0054] Compared with the prior art, the docking station provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises an upper box body 1 and a lower box body 2, the upper box body 1 is provided with an expansion interface 11 and a storage unit 3, and the expansion interface 11 is used to realize the expansion connection function. The docking station of the present application has a data line 4 extending outward, and the storage unit 3 can be connected with an external device by the data line 4 to realize data transmission. Since the data line 4 is integrally connected to the docking station, the docking station and the data line 4 can be integrally stored, and the problem that the data line 4 is easily lost in actual use is eliminated.

[0055] For the storage structure of the data line 4 on the docking station, the telescopic mechanism is arranged between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 of the docking station of the present application, so that the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 can be relatively moved to realize close or expansion, so as to form a storage space M between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 for winding the data line 4.

[0056] Compared with the structure of arranging a linear groove on the docking station to accommodate the data line 4 in the above-mentioned related art, the length of the data line 4 is not limited on the docking station of the present application, the data line 4 can be wound around the outer periphery of the guide ring 5 between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2, and can be accommodated in the storage space M between the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2, realizing a hidden storage design, and the data line 4 is only drawn out to be connected with the external device in use, effectively avoiding the interference of the data line 4 when using the expansion interface 11.

[0057] For the specific structure of the telescopic mechanism, in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 . The telescopic mechanism comprises stroke limiting structures on the guide ring 5 and the lower box body 2 that cooperate with each other, which are used to limit the movement stroke of the mutual expansion or closing of the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2. The stroke limiting structures comprise at least two limiting blocks 51 arranged on the outer periphery of the guide ring 5, which are arranged at different heights of the guide ring 5.

[0058] The lower box body 2 has a ring 6 into which the guide ring 5 extends, and the ring 6 is provided with a buckle hole 61 that cooperates with the position of the limiting block 51. The at least two limiting blocks 51 can be respectively buckled and positioned with the buckle hole 61, thereby limiting the movement stroke of the guide ring 5 in the ring 6.

[0059] In this way, at least two stroke limiting parts are formed on the telescopic mechanism, thereby setting the range of mutual closing or expansion of the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2.

[0060] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , the outer periphery of the guide ring 5 is provided with at least two sets of oppositely arranged limiting units, each set of limiting units has two limiting blocks 51, and each limiting block 51 is protrudingly arranged on the outer periphery of the guide ring 5. Among them, the two limiting blocks 51 of each set of limiting units are arranged at different heights of the outer periphery of the guide ring 5 and are aligned with each other.

[0061] As shown in Figure 6 , the inner wall of the ring 6 is provided with buckle holes 61 that are the same in number as the above-mentioned sets of limiting units, and each buckle hole 61 corresponds in position to the limiting blocks 51 of each set of limiting units. With the movement of the guide ring 5 in the ring 6, the two limiting blocks 51 of each set of limiting units can be respectively buckled and positioned with the same buckle hole 61, thereby limiting the movement stroke of the guide ring 5 in the ring 6.

[0062] Preferably, as shown in Figure 5 , the ring body of the guide ring 5 has a resilient plate 52 for arranging the above-mentioned limiting blocks 51. The guide ring 5 is also provided with a movable gap 521 located at both ends of the resilient plate 52, so that the resilient plate 52 can realize adaptive deformation, which is conducive to the buckling and disengagement of the limiting block 51 and the buckle hole 61.

[0063] For the structure on the guide ring 5, in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 . The outer periphery of the guide ring 5 is provided with a buckle hook 53, and the ring 6 of the lower box body 2 is provided with a buckling part 62 for buckling the buckle hook 53, which effectively prevents the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 from being separated from each other.

[0064] For the specific form of the buckling part 62, as an example, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in one embodiment, the buckling part 62 is a ring of inner protrusions on the opening of the ring 6, for the arbitrary buckling of the hooks 53 on the guide ring 5, to play the role of installation foolproof.

[0065] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the number of hooks 53 on the guide ring 5 can be matched with the number of inner protrusions on the opening of the ring 6, so that the hooks 53 can be buckled and fixed along the guide grooves 621 of the inner protrusions.

[0066] On the basis of the above, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the inner protrusions of the buckling part 62 are also provided with guide slopes 622 on each guide groove 621. In this way, when the guide ring 5 and the ring 6 are assembled with each other, the hooks 53 on the guide ring 5 can slide into the guide grooves 621 along the guide slopes 622, and smoothly buckle with the inner protrusions, thereby playing the role of installation foolproof, and being beneficial to reduce the assembly difficulty and improve the installation convenience.

[0067] In other embodiments (not shown), the buckling part 62 can also be a buckle (not shown) on the opening of the ring 6, which is one-to-one corresponding to the position of the hooks 53 on the guide ring 5, and is buckled and matched respectively, thereby preventing the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 from being separated from each other.

[0068] Preferably, as shown in Figure 5 , the hooks 53 on the guide ring 5 are preferably elastic buckles, and the specific structure of the hooks 53 can be integrally formed with the ring wall of the guide ring 5. Specifically, the guide ring 5 has a movable gap 531 on both sides of the hooks 53, so that the hooks 53 can be elastically moved. It is beneficial that the hooks 53 can be deformed adaptively when the guide ring 5 and the ring 6 are installed, and smoothly buckled with the buckling part 62 on the ring 6.

[0069] For the structure of the guide ring 5, in another embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the outer periphery of the guide ring 5 is also provided with a guide rib 54, and the ring 6 is provided with a guide groove 63 for the guide rib 54 to extend into. In this way, the guide ring 5 can move linearly along the guide groove 63 on the ring 6 with the guide rib 54, so as to make the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 realize mutual approach or expansion, effectively improving the stability of the mutual movement of the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2.

[0070] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The outer periphery of the guide ring 5 is provided with a plurality of vertical guide ribs 54, which are evenly distributed on the outer periphery of the guide ring 5 and preferably avoid the limiting block 51 on the outer periphery of the guide ring 5.

[0071] Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 The inner protruding ring of the opening of the ring 6 is provided with a guide groove 63 matched with the position of the guide rib 54. Each guide rib 54 can move linearly along the corresponding guide groove 63, effectively ensuring the stability of the mutual movement of the guide ring 5 and the ring 6.

[0072] For the structure for accommodating the data line 4 on the docking station, in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 There is an accommodation groove 21 between the inner wall of the lower box body 2 and the ring 6 for the data line 4 to be embedded, and one side of the lower box body 2 has a wire outlet hole 20 for the data line 4 to extend to the outside, so that the connector 41 of the data line 4 is fixed to the outside of the lower box body 2.

[0073] In this way, the inside of the lower box body 2 has enough space to accommodate the cable part of the data line 4, so that the data line 4 can be wound around the outer periphery of the ring 6 and accommodated in the accommodation groove 21 of the lower box body 2, so that when the upper box body 1 and the lower box body 2 are close to each other, they can be tightly attached to each other, effectively hiding the data line 4 in the docking station. On the one hand, the appearance of the docking station is complete, thereby improving the appearance and fashion sense. On the other hand, it is beneficial to avoid interference when the docking station is only used for the function of the expansion interface 11.

[0074] In actual application, the connector 41 of the data line 4 needs to be pulled out together with the cable from the docking station only when it needs to be used, and connected with external equipment. When idle, the cable and the connector 41 of the data line 4 need to be accommodated, so as to avoid interference when the expansion interface 11 function is used or accommodated. In the docking station of the embodiment of the present application, the connector 41 of the data line 4 is outside the docking station and cannot be accommodated inside the docking station. Therefore, the fixing structure of the connector 41 of the data line 4 on the outside of the docking station is particularly important.

[0075] Therefore, for the fixing structure of the data line connector 41, in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A fixing groove 7 is provided on the outer periphery of the docking station for the connector 41 of the data line 4 to be embedded, the cable part of the data line 4 is accommodated in the inside of the docking station, and the connector 41 of the data line 4 is fixed in the fixing groove 7 on the outside of the docking station, thereby solving the storage problem of the connector 41 of the data line 4.

[0076] In this way, after the data line 4 is stored in the docking station, the connector 41 of the data line 4 can be fixed on the outer surface of the docking station, avoiding that the connector 41 of the data line 4 easily blocks the expansion interface 11 and affects the use.

[0077] On the basis of the above, since the connector 41 of the data line 4 is only embedded in the fixing groove 7, most of the connector 41 is not fixed, and the entire connector 41 is still easy to come out of the fixing groove 7.

[0078] Therefore, in another embodiment of the present application (not shown in the figure), the docking station is further provided with a magnetic member (not shown in the figure) located in the fixing groove 7, and the connector 41 of the data line 4 is provided with a magnetic attraction member (not shown in the figure), which is used to magnetically attract the magnetic member when the data line connector 41 is embedded in the fixing groove 7, thereby forming a mutual magnetic attraction fixing structure.

[0079] Among them, the magnetic member and the magnetic attraction member can be two magnets that can magnetically attract each other, or a combination of a magnet and a metal such as iron that can be magnetically attracted, which is not specifically limited here.

[0080] In this way, the connector 41 of the data line 4 can be magnetically fixed on the fixing groove 7 outside the docking station, effectively preventing the connector 41 of the data line 4 from easily coming off and avoiding interference with the normal use of the docking station.

[0081] For the structure of the connector 41 of the data line 4, as shown in Figure 7 , the connector 41 of the data line 4 has a terminal 42, which can select a terminal 42 of a corresponding data interface according to actual use, such as USB, TYPE-C, etc. However, the terminal 42 on the connector 41 is generally smaller than the entire connector 41, so that the terminal 42 is suspended on the connector 41 and cannot be well fitted to the groove bottom of the fixing groove 7. In this state, the terminal 42 is easy to be bent and damaged when subjected to external force.

[0082] At this point, in one embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the docking station is further provided with a step 71 located in the fixing groove 7, which is used to abut the terminal 42 on the data line connector 41.

[0083] In this way, after the data line connector 41 is embedded in the fixing groove 7, the terminal 42 on the data line connector 41 can abut on the step 71, and the step 71 fills the gap below the terminal 42 part, realizing effective support for the terminal 42, thereby avoiding that the terminal 42 is easy to be damaged when subjected to external force, and improving the fixing effect of the data line connector 41.

[0084] For the storage unit structure on the docking station, in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 9 The storage unit 3 comprises a mounting seat 31 for mounting the solid state disk 100, and the data line 4 is electrically connected with the solid state disk 100 through the mounting seat 31.

[0085] In the embodiment, the electrical connection end of the mounting seat 31 is connected to the main control board arranged inside the upper box body 1, and the data line 4 is electrically connected with the mounting seat 31 through the main control board, and the main control board is used to control the data transmission function.

[0086] In this way, the user can install the solid state disk 100 with corresponding storage capacity on the mounting seat 31 according to the use requirement, and realize data transmission by connecting the data line 4 on the docking station with the external equipment.

[0087] Since the lengths of the solid state disks 100 of different specifications are different, the adjustable fixing structure for the different lengths of the solid state disks 100 is also arranged on the mounting seat 31.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 9 , the adjustable fixing structure comprises the adjusting hole (not shown in the figure) on the mounting seat 31 and the fixing piece 32, and the fixing piece 32 is detachably arranged on the mounting seat 31 and used to fix the extended end of the solid state disk 100. The mounting seat 31 has a plurality of adjusting holes for arranging the fixing piece 32, and these adjusting holes are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the mounting seat 31, and the fixing piece 32 can be selectively arranged on each adjusting hole.

[0089] In this way, the user can arrange the fixing piece 32 on the adjusting hole at the corresponding position according to the length of the solid state disk 100, and clamp and fix the extended end of the solid state disk 100 by using the fixing piece 32, thereby improving the adjustable performance of the mounting seat 31 for fixing the solid state disk 100.

[0090] In actual application, the solid state disk 100 is easy to generate heat when running at high speed, and since the components on the upper box body 1 are arranged compactly, these heat is easy to be transferred to other components such as the main control board, so that the temperature inside the docking station is difficult to be reduced, which is easy to affect the normal operation of each electrical device.

[0091] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2 , the upper box body 1 is also provided with a detachable top cover 8, and the upper opening of the upper box body 1 can be opened by detaching the top cover 8, and the user can install the solid state disk 100 on the mounting seat 31 inside the upper box body 1 from the upper opening.

[0092] The top cover 8 has heat dissipation holes 81, so that the heat generated by the various heat generating components in the docking station, such as the solid state disk 100 and the main control board, can be dissipated outside through the heat dissipation holes 81 after the top cover 8 is closed, effectively improving the heat dissipation effect and prolonging the service life.

[0093] For the specific structure of the top cover 8, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 the top cover 8 has a downwardly extending surrounding edge 82, and a circle of heat dissipation holes 81 are formed in the surrounding edge 82, thereby expanding the heat dissipation range, so that the heat in the docking station can be dissipated outside through the heat dissipation holes 81 in any direction, effectively improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0094] For the overall structure of the docking station, in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 the bottom of the lower box body 2 is also provided with a non-slip pad 22, which generates friction with the surface (such as a table top) on which the carrier is placed, thereby improving the stability of the docking station placed on the carrier.

[0095] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
