[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the application more clear, the technical solutions of the application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the application.
[0022] First of all, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present application and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art can adjust them as needed to adapt to specific application occasions.
[0023] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the direction or positional relationship of the terms based on the direction or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.
[0024] Embodiment 1
[0025] As Figures 1-2 shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a hidden vehicle-mounted retractable line docking station, which comprises a front cover 1, a rear shell 2, two retractable line modules 3, a PCB board 4, an input C port male head 5 and an output A port+C port female seat 6, wherein:
[0026] The front cover 1 and the rear shell 2 are fixedly connected to form the outer shell of the docking station. Preferably, the front cover 1 and the rear shell 2 can be fixedly connected in a snap-fit manner, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.
[0027] The outer shell formed by the front cover 1 and the rear shell 2 has an internal space, and the two retractable line modules 3 and the PCB board 4 are located in the internal space. The retractable line module 3, the input C port male head 5 and the output A port+C port female seat 6 are connected to the PCB board 4 and extend out of the internal space.
[0028] More specifically, the two retractable line modules 3 are arranged on both sides of the PCB board 4, and the two retractable line modules 3 and the PCB board 4 are in a vertical state. At the same time, the outer shell formed by the front cover 1 and the rear shell 2 has a U-shaped structure to adapt to the installation of the two retractable line modules 3.
[0029] Among them, the cable connector of the two retractable line modules 3 and the output A port+C port female seat 6 extend out of the internal space through the top end of the front cover 1, and the input C port male head 5 extends out of the internal space through the front of the rear shell 2. The input C port male head 5 is used to connect the output C port female seat 300 of the automobile armrest box 100.
[0030] In addition, the docking station also comprises a silica gel sheet 7, which is fixed on the left and right sides of the outer shell formed by the combination of the front cover 1 and the rear shell 2. Preferably, the silica gel sheet 7 can be fixed on the outer shell in a bonding manner. The silica gel sheet 7 is provided to improve the friction force of the two sides of the docking station, so as to prevent the docking station from sliding after installation and improve the stability after installation.
[0031] Embodiment 2
[0032] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, as shown in Figure 3 , the telescopic wire module 3 is provided with one, and the telescopic wire module 3 is arranged in parallel with the PCB board 4. At this time, the shell formed by the front cover 1 and the rear shell 2 is in a linear structure to adapt to the installation of one telescopic wire module. The overall product structure is more simple.
[0033] The use principle of the hidden vehicle-mounted telescopic wire docking station of the present application is:
[0034] When in use, taking the hidden vehicle-mounted telescopic wire docking station in embodiment 1 as an example, as shown in Figures 4-5 , along the direction of the arrow in the figure, insert the input C port male head 5 on the docking station into the output C port female seat 300 inside the automobile armrest box 100. The silica gel sheet 7 on both sides of the docking station will generate friction to prevent the product from sliding during the process. Then you can start using it by pulling the telescopic wire on the telescopic wire module out of the armrest box cover 200.
[0035] The hidden vehicle-mounted telescopic wire docking station of the present application can be hidden inside the armrest box, and the docking station itself will not affect the opening or closing of the armrest box cover. In addition, since the docking station of the present application is directly connected to the output C port female seat inside the armrest box, it can realize charging while not affecting data transmission with the car (such as Tesla).
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
