Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of expansion dock technology, and in particular to a fully retractable expansion dock. 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 (such as power adapters, network cables, mice, external keyboards, printers, and external monitors).

[0003] Most expansion docks on the market are designed to be exposed, which means they lack adequate protection during use and are easily damaged when subjected to external impacts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fully retractable expansion dock that can solve the problem that expansion docks lack certain protective effects during use and are easily damaged when subjected to external impact.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fully retractable expansion dock, comprising a mounting bracket and a protective storage shell, wherein the mounting bracket has an installation opening inside, and the expansion dock body is fixedly installed inside the installation opening;

[0006] There are two sets of protective storage shells, and the expansion dock itself is located inside the two sets of protective storage shells.

[0007] Preferably, both sides of the expansion dock body are fixedly installed with mounting plates, which are located inside the protective storage shell and are slidably installed with the protective storage shell.

[0008] Preferably, mounting blocks are fixedly installed on both the front and rear inner walls of the protective storage shell, and a sliding connecting rod is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting block and one side of the inner wall of the protective storage shell. The sliding connecting rod and the fixed mounting plate are slidably installed.

[0009] Preferably, the top and bottom of the mounting bracket are fixedly installed with fixed adsorption plates, which connect the mounting bracket to the protective storage shell.

[0010] Preferably, there are two sets of fixed adsorption plates, and each set of fixed adsorption plates has an installation groove inside, which facilitates the installation of the first connecting magnet.

[0011] Preferably, a first connecting magnet is embedded in the mounting groove of the fixed adsorption plate, and there are two sets of protective storage shells. A second connecting magnet is fixedly installed on the top of each set of protective storage shells. The first connecting magnet and the second connecting magnet are set to attract each other with opposite poles. This setting facilitates the installation and positioning of the two sets of protective storage shells.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This fully retractable expansion dock, through the setting of two sets of protective storage shells, can store the expansion dock body inside the protective storage shells. This protects the expansion dock body and prevents it from being exposed to the outside and damaged by external forces during storage, thereby improving the protection of the expansion dock body, reducing the probability of damage to the expansion dock body, and improving the practicality of the device. Furthermore, the setting of two sets of protective storage shells can expose part of the expansion dock body's ports according to usage needs, further reducing the exposed area of ​​the expansion dock body. This not only reduces dust adhesion to the expansion dock body and prevents damage to the internal components, but also increases the aesthetics of the expansion dock body during use, further improving the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0014] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the present utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model;

[0016] Figure 3 This is an enlarged view of part A of this utility model.

[0017] Reference numerals: 1. Mounting bracket; 2. Dock body; 3. Fixed mounting plate; 4. Protective storage shell; 5. Sliding connecting rod; 6. Mounting block; 7. Fixed suction plate; 8. First connecting magnet; 9. Second connecting magnet. Detailed Implementation

[0018] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a technical solution: a fully retractable expansion dock, including a mounting bracket 1 and a protective storage shell 4. The mounting bracket 1 has an installation port inside, and the expansion dock body 2 is fixedly installed inside the installation port. There are two sets of protective storage shells 4, and the expansion dock body 2 is located inside the two sets of protective storage shells 4.

[0020] Furthermore, both sides of the expansion dock body 2 are fixedly installed with mounting plates 3. The mounting plates 3 are located inside the protective storage shell 4 and are slidably installed with the protective storage shell 4.

[0021] Furthermore, mounting blocks 6 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear inner walls of the protective storage shell 4. A sliding connecting rod 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting block 6 and one side of the inner wall of the protective storage shell 4. The sliding connecting rod 5 and the fixed mounting plate 3 are slidably installed. Fixed adsorption plates 7 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the mounting bracket 1. There are two sets of fixed adsorption plates 7, and each set of fixed adsorption plates 7 has an installation groove inside. This arrangement allows the docking station body 2 to be stored inside the protective storage shell 4, thus protecting the docking station body 2 and preventing it from being damaged. The main body 2 is exposed to the outside during storage, which may cause damage due to external forces. This improves the protection of the docking station main body 2, reduces the probability of damage to the docking station main body 2, and improves the practicality of the device. In addition, the setting of two sets of protective storage shells 4 can expose some of the ports of the docking station main body 2 according to the usage needs, further reducing the exposed area of ​​the docking station main body 2. This not only reduces the dust adhesion to the docking station main body 2 and the damage to the internal components of the docking station main body 2, but also increases the aesthetics of the docking station main body 2 during use, further improving the practicality of the device.

[0022] Secondly, a first connecting magnet 8 is embedded in the mounting groove on the fixed adsorption plate 7. There are two sets of protective storage shells 4. A second connecting magnet 9 is fixedly installed on the top of each set of protective storage shells 4. The first connecting magnet 8 and the second connecting magnet 9 are set to attract each other with opposite poles.

[0023] Working principle: When in use, pull the protective storage shell 4. The movement of the protective storage shell 4 can separate the first connecting magnet 8 and the second connecting magnet 9. When the protective storage shell 4 moves, the port on the docking station body 2 can be exposed. Then, connect the male connector on the docking station body 2 to the computer to use the docking station body 2. When storing, move the protective storage shell 4. When the second connecting magnet 9 on the protective storage shell 4 comes into contact with the first connecting magnet 8 on the fixed adsorption plate 7, the first connecting magnet 8 and the second connecting magnet 9 can be attracted to each other, thereby connecting the protective storage shell 4 to the mounting bracket 1.

[0024] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
