[0025] The following drawings will disclose several embodiments of this utility model. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit this utility model. That is, in some embodiments of this utility model, these physical details are not essential. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner.

[0026] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" is for descriptive purposes only and does not specifically refer to any order or sequence, nor is it intended to limit the utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only if they are feasible for those skilled in the art. If a combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0027] This embodiment provides a quick-release expansion dock. The components of the quick-release expansion dock are installed in a split structure. When the expansion dock malfunctions, it can be quickly disassembled to identify the faulty component. By replacing the faulty component, the expansion dock can be put back into normal use without replacing the entire expansion dock, thereby effectively reducing the operating cost of the expansion dock.

[0028] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the quick-release expansion dock of this embodiment includes a housing 10, a PCB board 20, a first plug 30 and a second plug 40. The PCB board 20 is detachably installed inside the housing 10. The first plug 30 seals the first end of the housing 10 and the second plug 40 seals the second end of the housing 10 to form a quick-release expansion dock.

[0029] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is a flat hollow structure with several openings 11 on its side and an open structure at its end. The PCB board 20 is located inside the housing 10 and has several connectors 21 on its side. The connectors 21 are embedded in the openings 11 on the side of the housing 10 for use.

[0030] Specifically, the connector 21 in this embodiment includes a USB connector 21, a Type-C connector 21, an HDMI connector 21, and a network port connector 21. The configuration of the above connectors 21 meets the expansion needs of the docking station.

[0031] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first plug 30 is installed at the first end of the housing 10, and the first plug 30 is provided with a first mounting hole 31. The second plug 40 is installed at the second end of the housing 10, and the second plug 40 is provided with a second mounting hole 41. The first mounting hole 31 corresponds to the position of the adapter 70 for installing the adapter 70, and the second mounting hole 41 corresponds to the position of the wire harness interface 80 for installing the wire harness 90. In this embodiment, both the first plug 30 and the second plug 40 are plastic caps. The first plug 30 and the second plug 40 respectively seal both ends of the housing 10. The first mounting hole 31 can be used to install the adapter 70 so that the adapter 70 can be used normally, while the second mounting hole 41 can be used to install the wire harness interface 80 so that the wire harness 90 can be installed later.

[0032] In this embodiment, both the first plug 30 and the second plug 40 are provided with magnetic suction parts 50, and a fixing magnet 60 is provided inside the housing 10. After the first plug 30 and the second plug 40 are installed, the magnetic suction parts 50 and the fixing magnet 60 are magnetically attracted and bonded together. In order to ensure the stable installation of the first plug 30 and the second plug 40, the magnetic suction parts 50 and the fixing magnet 60 cooperate to strengthen the connection between the first plug 30, the second plug 40 and the housing 10 by magnetic attraction, which also makes it easy to remove the first plug 30 and the second plug 40.

[0033] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the PCB board 20 is detachably installed inside the housing 10. One end of the PCB board 20 is provided with an adapter 70, and the other end is provided with a wire harness interface 80. A slot 12 is provided inside the housing 10, and the side of the PCB board 20 is located within the slot 12 to position and install the PCB board 20. In this embodiment, the PCB board 20 is installed inside the housing 10 via the slot 12, achieving precise positioning of the PCB board 20 while facilitating its disassembly.

[0034] In this embodiment, a positioning pin 100 is provided at the end of the PCB board 20, and a positioning hole 32 is provided on the first plug 30. After the positioning pin 100 is inserted into the positioning hole 32, the first plug 30 is positioned and installed. Under the cooperation of the positioning pin 100 and the positioning hole 32, the first plug 30 is stably installed, thereby improving the installation stability of the first plug 30.

[0035] In practical use, the quick-release expansion dock of this embodiment adopts a split structure for each component. When the expansion dock malfunctions, it can be quickly disassembled to identify the faulty component. By replacing the faulty component, the expansion dock can be put back into normal use without replacing the entire expansion dock, thereby effectively reducing the operating cost of the expansion dock.
