[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] This embodiment of the utility model provides a docking station 1 for a desktop computer 2, such as... Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, the docking station 1 of the desktop computer 2 is used to expand the connection ports and / or storage of the desktop computer 2. The docking station 1 has a connection structure 11 that is electrically connected to the desktop computer 2; the docking station 1 has a top surface 12 for placing the desktop computer 2; a recessed recess 121 is provided at one corner of the top surface 12, the recessed recess 121 is recessed towards the bottom of the docking station, and the recessed recess 121 has an opening on the side of the docking station 1.
[0026] The base expansion dock 1 of this utility model is used to connect to the desktop computer 2, expand the connection port and / or storage of the desktop computer 2. When in use, the desktop computer 2 can be placed directly on the placement top surface 12 of the base expansion dock 1, at which time the base expansion dock 1 is equivalent to a base.
[0027] The docking station 1 has a recessed groove 121 at one corner of its top surface 12. The recessed groove 121 is recessed towards the bottom of the docking station and has an opening on its side. In use, the power button on the bottom corner of the desktop computer 2 is aligned with this recessed groove 121. Because the recessed groove 121 is open on both its side and top, it provides adequate space for the power button. Users can conveniently press the power button on the bottom while using the docking station 1 to expand the connection ports and / or storage of the desktop computer 2.
[0028] Specifically, the base expansion dock 1 of this utility model is used for Apple Mac mini desktop computers. The bottom of the Apple Mac mini desktop computer has a protrusion 21, and air vents 211 are arranged around the periphery of the protrusion 21. The air vents 211 include air outlets and air inlets.
[0029] Further, the placement top surface 12 comprises a placement sub-surface 122 and an inclined annular surface 123. The placement sub-surface 122 is located at the middle of the placement top surface 12, and the inclined annular surface 123 is arranged around the placement sub-surface 122 and is inclined from the inside to the bottom of the base docking station 1. In this way, the placement top surface 12 is divided into the placement sub-surface 122 and the inclined annular surface 123. In use, the convex portion 21 at the bottom of the desktop computer 2 is placed on the placement sub-surface 122, and at this time, the air inlet and outlet of the air port 211 located on the side of the convex portion 21 pass through the inclined annular surface 123. Since the inclined annular surface 123 is inclined from the inside to the bottom of the base docking station 1, the inclined annular surface 123 can guide the air flow when the air is inhaled and exhaled, thereby improving the smoothness of air inhalation and exhalation and improving the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the air noise of air inhalation and exhalation is also reduced. In addition, since the inclined annular surface 123 is inclined from the inside to the bottom of the base docking station 1, the distance between the edge of the base docking station 1 and the edge of the desktop computer 2 is large, which is also conducive to improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0030] The placement sub-surface 122 is provided with a placement groove 1221, and the shape of the placement groove 1221 is adapted to the shape of the convex portion 21 at the bottom of the desktop computer 2. In use, the convex portion 21 at the bottom of the desktop computer 2 can be placed in the placement groove 1221 to limit the desktop computer 2 and improve the stability of the desktop computer 2. The desktop computer 2 placed on the base docking station 1 can be more stable. Further, the edge of the placement groove 1221 is provided with a first groove 1221a around the placement groove 1221, and an anti-skid rubber ring 1222 is installed in the first groove 1221a.
[0031] The anti-skid rubber ring 1222 can further improve the friction to stably prevent the desktop computer 2 from rotating on the placement sub-surface 122, to prevent the bottom power supply case from being dislocated from the sunken recess 121, and to prevent the desktop computer 2 from sliding out of the placement groove 1221. The first groove 1221a can provide installation and limiting of the anti-skid rubber ring 1222, and the anti-skid rubber ring 1222 can be bonded in the first groove 1221a by glue. The anti-skid rubber ring 1222 can be a rubber ring, a silica gel ring, etc.
[0032] Specifically, the upper opening of the sunken recess 121 in the top surface is located on the inclined annular surface 123. The wall surface of the sunken recess 121 is an arc surface, which is more suitable for accommodating the fingers of a user pressing the power button. The sunken recess 121 is small at the bottom and large at the top, which is convenient for a user to press the power button.
[0033] Further, the side of the base docking station 1 is provided with a plurality of connection interfaces 13. The connection interface 13 is, for example, a Type-C port, a Type-A port, an HDMI port, an audio plug, a memory card plug, etc. The base docking station 1 is internally provided with a circuit board, and the connection interface 13 is installed in the circuit board. The connection structure 11 is a connecting head 111 provided on the side of the base docking station 1, and the connecting head 111 has a connecting end 1111. Specifically, the connecting head 111 has two connecting ends 1111, which are connected with two connecting ports of the desktop computer 2. Both of the two connecting ends 1111 are Type-C ports, which are connected with the corresponding connecting ports of the desktop computer 2.
[0034] Further, the base docking station 1 is internally provided with a storage bar. The storage bar can expand the storage of the desktop computer 2. The base docking station 1 is provided with a window 14, and the window 14 is provided with a cover plate 15 for covering the window 14 through a screw. The storage bar inside the base docking station 1 can be installed and removed through the window 14, and the cover plate 15 installed through the screw is convenient to disassemble and assemble, so that the storage bar can be conveniently installed and removed.
[0035] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not to limit them. For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; all these modifications and replacements should belong to the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
