[0048] When the memory 41 is produced and sold in combination with the memory storage box 1, the size of the memory 41 can be further considered to be reduced, so that the size of the memory storage box 1 is reduced, thereby facilitating the user to carry, specifically, when the width of the memory 41 can be designed to be less than 2 cm, the length of the memory 41 can be designed to be less than 3 cm, and the height of the memory 41 can be designed to be less than 3 cm, the internal structure of the memory storage box 1 can be designed and arranged according to the memory 41 with the size as shown in Figure 3 .

[0049] The memory storage box 1 can be designed and arranged according to the memory 41 with the size as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 8 , for example, as shown in Figure 4 , the memory storage box 1 is provided with two first interfaces 11, as shown in Figure 8 , the memory storage box 1 is provided with three first interfaces 11, and without considering the data line 30, as shown in Figure 4 , the actual size of the memory storage box 1 is 93 mm in length, 34 mm in height and 19.8 mm in width, and as shown in Figure 8 , the actual size of the memory storage box 1 is 69 mm in length, 34 mm in height and 24 mm in width.

[0050] The second interface 12 can be a charging port, and the first external device can be a mobile phone, a keyboard, a mouse, or the like. Preferably, the second interface 12 is a fast charging port. When the second external device is connected to the data line 30 and the first external device is connected to the second interface 12, the second external device is configured to supply power to the first external device at a charging power that is not less than a preset power.

[0052] Preferably, the bottom surface of the base 10 is further provided with a third magnet block 14 for attracting the first external device. For example, when a mobile phone with a magnetic attraction function (provided with a metal sheet or a magnet sheet) is connected to the second interface 12, the memory storage box 1 can be attracted to the mobile phone by the third magnet block 14 as shown in the figure, thereby relieving the cluttered desktop phenomenon caused by too many electronic devices. Figure 1

[0053] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 To facilitate storage of the data line 30, the base 10 is further provided with a storage cavity 15 and a wire hole 16, and the first interface 11 is at least partially located inside the base 10. The data line 30 includes a wire body 31 and a connector 32. One end of the wire body 31 passes through the wire hole 16 to access the inside of the base 10 and is electrically connected to the first interface 11 and the second interface 12, respectively. The other end of the wire body 31 is connected to the connector 32. At least part of the connector 32 carrying the wire body 31 is located outside the base 10. The storage cavity 15 is in communication with the external space of the base 10. The connector 32 is used to be drawn from the external space of the base 10 into the storage cavity 15 and to be drawn from the storage cavity 15 to the external space of the base 10.

[0054] The connector 32 can be a USB-A, USB-C, Type-C, or the like. After the connector 32 is drawn from the storage cavity 15 to the external space of the base 10, the connector 32 can be connected to a second external device, such as a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, or the like. Thus, the output interface on the second external device can be expanded to the first interface 11 and the second interface 12 through the data line 30.

[0055] ​Consider the case that the user needs to store the memory box 1 to provide multiple expansion interface to access different physical devices, for example, please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the memory box 1, the user connects the connector 32 of the data line 30 to the output interface of the notebook computer, connects the mouse to the second interface a121, and connects the keyboard to the second interface b122. If you also need to connect the mobile hard disk to the notebook computer, you need to provide sufficient expansion interface for the user to use. Therefore, the first interface 11 can be considered to be opened to meet the user's use demand. Specifically, the upper cover 20 can be separated and fixed to the base 10, used to close the first interface 11 when fixed to the base 10, and used to open the second interface 12 when separated from the base 10; the second interface 12 is also used for electrically connecting the third external device.

[0056] When the user uses it, the upper cover 20 can be separated from the base 10 to open the first interface 11, and the memory 41 inserted in the first interface 11 can be pulled out, and the mobile hard disk can be connected to the first interface 11.

[0057] When the upper cover 20 is fixed to the base 10, the interior of the upper cover 20 and the interior of the base 10 form a containing space 42, the memory 41 is inserted in the first interface 11, and the memory 41 can be electrically connected to the second external device in the containing space 42; when the upper cover 20 is separated from the base 10, the first interface 11 is opened, the memory 41 can be pulled out, and the third external device that needs to be connected to the second external device can be connected to the first interface 11, thereby meeting the user's demand for the expansion dock function of the memory box 1.

[0058] Among them, the third external device can be a memory, but also a keyboard, mouse, mobile hard disk, mobile phone and other devices.

[0059] Further, consider the structure of the separable fixed connection between the upper cover 20 and the base 10, preferably, one end of the upper cover 20 is provided with a first magnet block, the other end is provided with a buckling piece 21; the base 10 is provided with a second magnet block matched with the first magnet block, and the interior of the base 10 is further provided with a buckling groove 13 matched with the buckling piece 21, the second magnet block is used for adsorbing the first magnet block, and the buckling piece 21 can be separated and buckled in the buckling groove 13.

[0060] Optionally, the buckling piece and the buckling groove can be buckled connection; please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7In a preferred embodiment, both the fastening groove 13 and the fastening member 21 are L-shaped. The fastening groove 13 includes a first groove 131 extending vertically and a second groove 132 extending horizontally. The fastening member 21 includes a first fastening body 211 extending vertically and a second fastening body 212 extending horizontally. The sum of the width of the first fastening body 211 and the length of the second fastening body 212 is less than the width of the first groove 131. The width of the second groove 132 is the same as the width of the second fastening body 212, which is used to restrict the movement of the second fastening body 212 in the vertical direction.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 In the diagram, W1 represents the width of the first buckle body 211, L1 represents the length of the second buckle body 212, W2 represents the width of the first groove body 131, and W3 represents the width of the second buckle body 212.

[0062] The sum of W1 and L1 is set to be less than W2, so that the fastener 21 can slide horizontally in the second groove 132 until both the first fastener 211 and the second fastener 212 are located in the first groove 131. Then, the fastener 21 slides vertically out of the first groove 131, thus separating the fastener 21 from the fastening groove 13. The width of the second groove 132 is set to be the same as the width of the second fastener 212, so that the second fastener 212 can slide as follows: Figure 7 As shown, it is snapped into the second groove 132 in the vertical direction, thereby fixing the upper cover 20 to the base 10.

[0063] Because the upper cover 20 and the base 10 are also magnetically secured, it is difficult for the user to discern the sliding direction when pushing the upper cover 20 horizontally to slide the second fastener 212 into the first groove 131. Therefore, preferably, the direction in which the second groove 132 extends toward the first groove 131 is the first direction, and an identifier 23 is formed on the side of the upper cover 20 facing away from the base 10. The identifier 23 is used to indicate the first direction.

[0064] The storage box 1 provided in this application embodiment can store the storage box 41 based on the accommodating space 42 formed by the cooperation between the inside of the upper cover 20 and the inside of the base 10, so that the storage box 41 is not easily lost; for example, the user can insert a USB flash drive purchased with the storage box 1 into the first interface 11 to store the USB flash drive through the accommodating space 42.

[0065] The memory storage box 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application can also be based on the electrical connection between the first interface 11 inside the base 10 and the data line 30, so that the memory 41 plugged into the first interface 11 can be used in the accommodation space 42, without taking out the memory 41 for use, improving the convenience of use of the memory 41; for example, the user connects the data line 30 to the notebook computer, and then can operate the data in the memory 41 through the notebook computer, without taking out the memory 41 to connect to the notebook computer.

[0066] The memory storage box 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application can also be based on the electrical connection between the data line 30 and the first interface 11 and the second interface 12, when the second external device is connected to the data line 30, the expansion of the output interface of the second external device is realized, so as to adapt to the demand of the user for the docking station function when using the memory 41; for example, the user can connect the data line 30 to the notebook computer, and connect the keyboard and the display screen sub-screen to the second interface a121 and the second interface b122 respectively, the user can operate the notebook computer through the connected keyboard, and can display the interface content of the notebook computer through the display screen sub-screen, and can also operate the memory 41 plugged into the first interface 11 in the memory storage box 1 through the notebook computer.

[0067] The memory storage box 1 provided by the embodiment of the present application can also be based on that the upper cover 20 can be separated and fixed to the base 10, the memory 41 is pulled out from the first interface 11, and the third external device is connected to the first interface 11, improving the flexibility of use of the first interface 11 and increasing the expansion function of the memory storage box 1; for example, the user can pull out the memory 41 originally plugged into the first interface 11 to connect another memory to the first interface, and can also pull out the memory 41 from the first interface 11 to connect a mouse to the first interface 11.
