[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an expansion dock, including a bracket 1 and a body 2. The body 2 is mounted on the bracket 1. The bracket 1 includes a base 10, a first support 11, and a second support 12. One end of the first support 11 is connected to the base 10 and can rotate relative to the base 10. The second support 12 is connected to the other end of the first support 11 away from the base 10. The second support 12 is provided with a mounting part 121, and the body 2 is mounted on the mounting part 121. The second support 12 is provided with an adjustment structure 122 that can be bent to adjust the support position.

[0028] Understandably, the docking station has a bracket 1 and a main body 2. The main body 2 is mounted on the bracket 1. The main body 2 can be detached from the bracket 1 according to user needs. The bracket 1 is adjustable. The main body 2 moves to the target position on the bracket 1 as the bracket 1 deforms, and maintains relatively stable support for the main body 2.

[0029] Specifically, the bracket 1 includes a base 10, a first support body 11, and a second support body 12. The bracket 1 is placed on or connected to a table via the base 10. One end of the first support body 11 is connected to the second support body 12, and the other end of the first support body 11 is connected to the base 10. The first support body 11 can rotate relative to the base 10, thereby causing the second support body 12 to rotate. A mounting part 121 is provided at the end of the second support body 12 away from the first support body 11. The main body 2 is connected to the bracket 1 via the mounting part 121.

That is, the first support body 11 can rotate relative to the base 10, and the second support body 12 can be adjusted at least around the axis of the adjustment structure 122, increasing the adjustable directions of the bracket 1 and allowing the main body 2 to be adjusted to more target positions required by the user, thus improving the flexibility of the bracket's adjustment.

[0030] This utility model provides an expansion dock, including a bracket and a main body, with the main body mounted on the bracket. The bracket includes a base, a first support body, and a second support body. One end of the first support body is connected to the base and can rotate relative to the base. The second support body is connected to the other end of the first support body away from the base, and a mounting part is provided on the second support body. The main body is mounted on the mounting part, and the second support body is provided with an adjustment structure that allows for bending and adjusting the support position. This configuration allows for position adjustment not only by rotating the first support body but also by bending the second support body, making both the first and second support bodies in the bracket adjustable in angle, thus increasing the range of adjustable support positions. With the main body connected to the second support body via the mounting part, users can not only adjust the rotation of the first support body according to their needs but also further adjust it by bending the second support body to maintain the main body in a suitable position. This meets the needs of the expansion dock for more usage configurations, improves the flexibility and accuracy of the expansion dock's position adjustment, brings convenience to users, and enhances the user experience.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second support 12 includes a fixed piece 123 and a movable component 124. The fixed piece 123 is mounted on the first support 11 (see reference 124). Figure 1 On the first support 11, the movable component 124 is connected to the fixed plate 123. An adjustment structure 122 is at least provided on the movable component 124, and a mounting portion 121 is provided adjacent to the adjustment structure 122 on the movable component 124. Understandably, the second support 12 is mounted on the first support 11 via the fixed plate 123. The movable component 124 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 123. In the normally positioned state of the support 1, the axis of the adjustment structure 122 extends horizontally. That is, the second support 12 can be adjusted at least vertically around the axis of the adjustment structure 122. The mounting portion 121 is provided on the movable component 124 adjacent to the adjustment structure 122. During the rotation of the movable component 124 relative to the fixed plate 123, it drives the mounting portion 121 to move together, keeping the body 2 mounted on the mounting portion 121 in the target position and improving the adjustment flexibility of the second support 12.

[0032] This utility model embodiment provides an adjustment structure on the movable component, enabling the movable component to be adjusted vertically. The mounting part can be adjusted to a suitable position along with the movable component, keeping the main body in the target position. This improves the flexibility of the second support body in vertical adjustment and expands the applicability of the extension dock.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and 3As shown, the movable component 124 includes movable parts 1241. Multiple movable parts 1241 are provided, and adjacent movable parts 1241 are movably connected via an adjustment structure 122. The fixed plate 123 is movably connected to adjacent movable parts 1241 via a rotating shaft 1231. It can be understood that the movable component 124 is composed of multiple movable parts 1241 connected together. Adjacent movable parts 1241 are connected via the adjustment structure 122, and the fixed plate 123 is also connected to adjacent movable parts 1241 via a rotating shaft 1231. That is, each movable part 1241 in the movable component 124 can rotate relative to adjacent movable parts 1241, and the movable component 124 as a whole can also rotate relative to the fixed plate 123. At this time, the second support body 12 can be bent to any angle and arc according to the user's needs. When the adjustment of the first support body 11 cannot meet the adjustment requirements, the second support body 12 can be further bent to improve the accuracy of the multi-angle adjustment component 1.

[0034] This utility model embodiment makes the movable component consist of multiple movable parts, and adjacent movable parts can rotate relative to each other, and the movable parts and the fixed plate can also rotate. The movable component can be bent to any angle and shape, and the degree of adjustability of the movable component is increased. Users can adjust the support position of the movable component according to the size of the main body, which expands the application range of the docking station and optimizes the performance of the product.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting structure 122 includes connecting ears 1221 and hinge shafts 1222. Connecting ears 1221 are respectively disposed on each movable member 1241. The connecting ears 1221 on two connected movable members 1241 are arranged side-by-side. The hinge shaft 1222 passes through the two side-by-side connecting ears 1221, allowing adjacent movable members 1241 to be rotatably connected. Understandably, the connecting ears 1221 are respectively disposed on two adjacent movable members 1241, and the hinge shaft 1222 passes through the side-by-side connecting ears 1221, allowing the connecting ears 1221 to be rotatably connected, thus connecting the two adjacent movable members 1241. During rotation, the connecting ears 1221 guide the rotation of the movable members 1241, preventing misalignment during rotation and ensuring smooth rotation of the movable members 1241.

[0036] This embodiment of the utility model connects adjacent movable parts together by cooperating with connecting ears and hinge shafts. The hinge shaft passes through the middle of the connecting ears arranged side by side, so that the connecting ears guide the rotation of the hinge shaft, thereby improving the accuracy of the rotation of the movable parts, avoiding misalignment during rotation, and ensuring the bending effect of the second support body.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the bracket 1 also includes a housing 13. The housing 13 is at least fitted onto the outside of the second support 12. The mounting portion 121 is disposed on the housing 13. Understandably, the housing 13 is fitted onto the outside of the second support 12. The housing 13 can be made of a flexible material, such as silicone, and can bend along with the second support 12, optimizing the feel during rotation. Simultaneously, the housing 13 can protect the components within the second support 12 and further optimize the appearance of the second support 12.

[0038] In this embodiment of the invention, an outer shell is fitted over the outside of the second support body, providing a good feel during the bending process of the second support body. At the same time, the outer shell protects the parts of the second support body, extends the service life of the product, and optimizes the user experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the mounting part 121 has a mounting groove 1210, and the main body 2 is snapped into the mounting groove 1210. The mounting part 121 is movably mounted on the second support 12 or integrally formed with the second support 12. Understandably, the main body 2 is snapped into the mounting part 121 via the mounting groove 1210, and the mounting groove 1210 and the main body 2 are interference-fitted, allowing the main body 2 to be stably connected to the mounting part 121.

[0040] Furthermore, the mounting part 12 can be movably mounted on the second support 12, or it can be integrally formed with the second support 12. When the mounting part 12 can be movably mounted on the second support 12, the user can adjust the position of the mounting part 121 on the second support 12 according to usage requirements, improving the flexibility of adjustment of the second support 12; when the mounting part 121 is fixed on the second support 12 and integrally formed with the second support 12, the main body 2 is stably connected to the second support 12 through the mounting part 121, avoiding unstable connection between the second support 12 and the main body 2.

[0041] This utility model embodiment simplifies the user's installation operation by providing an installation groove on the installation part, allowing the main body to snap into the installation groove. At the same time, the installation part has two setting methods: it can be movably connected to the second support, further increasing the flexibility of bracket adjustment, while the integral molding setting with the second support can reduce the assembly difficulty.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4As shown, the first support 11 includes a rotating arm 110. One end of the rotating arm 110 is inserted into the base 10, and the other end of the rotating arm 110 is connected to the second support 12. Understandably, the rotating arm 110 of the first support 11 is inserted inside the base 10, and the axis of rotation of the rotating arm 110 extends vertically. During the rotation of the rotating arm 110, the rotating arm 110 can drive the second support 12 to rotate in the horizontal plane.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a buckle 1101 is provided at one end of the rotating arm 110 that is inserted into the base 10. A slot 1102 is provided in the base 10 at a position corresponding to the buckle 1101, and the buckle 1101 is movably engaged in the slot 1102. That is, in the rotational axial direction, at least one buckle 1101 is provided at one end of the rotating arm 110 that is inserted into the base 10, and a slot 1102 is provided in the base 10 at a position corresponding to the buckle 1101. The slot 1102 and the buckle 1101 cooperate to fix the position of the rotating arm 110 in the base 10 and prevent the rotating arm 110 from moving axially.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, the first support body is inserted into the base via a rotating arm. The rotation of the rotating arm enables the first support body to rotate, allowing the bracket to rotate in the horizontal plane. Furthermore, the cooperation of the buckle and the slot improves the stability of the connection between the rotating arm and the base, reduces shaking, and extends the service life of the product.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first support 11 also includes a silicone washer 111, which is fitted onto the outside of the rotating arm 110. The rotating arm 110 has a step 1103, and the silicone washer 111 abuts against the step 1103. The inner diameter of the silicone washer 111 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rotating arm 110 at the step 1103. Understandably, the rotating arm 110 also has a step 1103, and the silicone washer 111, fitted onto the outside of the rotating arm 110 and abutting against the step 1103, allows the silicone washer 110 to be inserted into the base 10 along with the rotating arm 110, evenly distributing the resistance generated during rotation between the rotating arm 110 and the base 10. Furthermore, the rotating arm 110 and the silicone washer 111 are interference-fitted to ensure a tight fit, producing a damping effect, preventing slippage of the rotating arm 110 during rotation, and maintaining stability after rotational adjustment.

[0046] This embodiment of the utility model uses a silicone gasket on the outside of the rotating arm to ensure a tight connection between the rotating arm and the base. This provides a buffering effect on the rotation of the rotating arm, evens out the resistance generated during rotation, optimizes the feel of rotating the arm, and ensures an interference fit between the silicone gasket and the rotating arm. This improves the stability of the connection between the silicone gasket and the rotating arm, prevents slippage during rotation, and optimizes the performance of the product.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rotation direction of the first support 11 is perpendicular to the bending direction of the second support 12. That is, the rotation axis of the first support 11 extends vertically. When the first support 11 rotates, it drives the second support 12 to rotate horizontally. At the same time, the rotation axis of the adjustment structure 122 of the second support 12 extends horizontally, causing the mounting part 121 to rotate vertically. At this time, the bracket 1 can be adjusted in both the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0048] Specifically, the first support 11 rotates within a range of 0 to 360°, and the second support 12 bends within a range of 15° to 350°. In other words, the rotating arm 110 of the first support 11 can rotate one full revolution, while each movable component 1241 in the second support 12 can rotate relative to its adjacent movable component 1241. This expands the rotational range of the second support 12 and increases the adjustable range of the bracket 1.

[0049] This embodiment of the utility model achieves adjustment of the main body in the horizontal plane through the first support body, and at least vertical adjustment of the main body through the second support body, thereby expanding the adjustable range of the bracket, making the product more applicable, and bringing convenience to users.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the base 10 includes a main body 101, a receiving cavity 102, a counterweight 103, and a base plate 104. A first support 11 is movably inserted into the main body 101. The receiving cavity 102 is located on the side of the main body 101 away from the first support 11. The counterweight 103 is disposed within the receiving cavity 102. The base plate 104 is installed at the bottom of the main body 101 to close the receiving cavity 102. Understandably, since the main body 2 and the second support 12 have a certain weight, the base 10 needs sufficient weight to ensure the stable placement of the support 1 during use. That is, the first support 11 is connected to the main body 101 of the base 10, and the receiving cavity 102 can be opened inside the base 10. The counterweight 103 is disposed within the receiving cavity 102, and the receiving cavity 102 is closed by the base plate 104, increasing the weight of the base 10 and ensuring the stability of the support 1 during use.

[0051] This utility model embodiment increases the weight of the base by setting a counterweight inside the base, which balances the weight of the second support and the main body, preventing the bracket from tipping over during use, ensuring the bracket can be placed stably, guaranteeing the stability of the docking station during user use, optimizing product performance, and improving the user experience.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
