Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0031] Example

[0032] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the multifunctional base includes an adjustable base 100 with front and rear width adjustment function, at least two baffles 101 disposed on the upper part of the adjustable base, a display screen 102 embedded in the first baffle on the front, a control component disposed in the adjustable base and electrically connected to the display screen, and an expansion interface component 109 disposed in the adjustable base and electrically connected to the control component. A central storage groove 103 is formed between adjacent baffles, and an edge storage space 104 is formed between the baffles and the edge of the adjustable base. The width of the central storage groove formed between at least two baffles changes with the width adjustment of the adjustable base. The display screen displays an electronic calendar, electronic photo album, or preset content, such as playing videos, displaying time, and checking the weather, according to the preset mode of the control component.

[0033] In terms of structure, this embodiment uses two baffles as an example for illustration. These baffles, together with the adjustable base, form a central storage slot of adjustable size to store larger flat objects, such as tablets and books. When multiple baffles are configured, they can be arranged in a front-to-back direction to form multiple central storage slots.

[0034] The adjustable base includes a first base 110 and a second base 120 that cooperate to achieve front and rear width adjustment, and a locking mechanism 130 that locks the first base and the second base after adjustment. The first base 110 includes a first outer shell 111, a first receiving cavity and an adjustment receiving cavity 113 disposed in the first outer shell. A front baffle is integrally connected to the first outer shell. The first outer shell is provided with a through hole for the installation of an expansion interface component with a specified function. The first receiving cavity is used to house some control components, and the adjustment receiving cavity is used to cooperate with the second base to achieve front and rear width adjustment. The second base 120 includes a second outer housing 121, a second receiving cavity disposed within the second outer housing, and an adjustment plug portion 123 disposed at one end of the second outer housing facing the first base. The latter has a baffle integrally connected to the second outer housing. The second outer housing is provided with a through hole for housing an expansion interface component for a specified function. The first receiving cavity is used to house the remaining control components. The adjustment plug portion is inserted into the adjustment receiving cavity to achieve front and rear width adjustment function according to the insertion depth.

[0035] The locking mechanism 130 includes a rack 131 disposed at the bottom of the adjustment receiving cavity and running along the adjustment direction, a clearance groove 132 disposed at the bottom of the adjustment receiving cavity and parallel to the rack, an adjustment pressure sleeve 133 disposed on the adjustment plug portion and corresponding to the rack, a toothed buckle 134 disposed in the adjustment pressure sleeve and meshing with the rack, a spring 135 disposed between the end of the toothed buckle and the adjustment pressure sleeve, and an adjustment button 136 connected to the toothed buckle and corresponding to the clearance groove. In the locked state, the pressure of the spring causes the toothed buckle to engage and lock onto the rack. When it is necessary to adjust the front and rear width, the user presses the adjustment button from the bottom up, the toothed buckle is released from the rack and pressed into the adjustment pressure sleeve, at which time the first seat and the second seat can move along the depth direction of the adjustment receiving cavity, thereby realizing the front and rear width adjustment. After the adjustment is completed, releasing the adjustment button will lock it again to maintain the adjusted width.

[0036] To facilitate the overall placement of the product, the bottom of the first and second bases is provided with support feet 107, and the bottom of the support feet can also be equipped with soft pads 106. To facilitate the storage of the central storage slot and the edge storage slot, the two baffles can be configured in a relatively inclined form to form a clamping support structure. Soft pads 106 can also be provided on the upper side of the baffles to protect the stored items.

[0037] The edge storage space can store items such as smartphones and tablets. The inclined baffle makes it easy to place items. Meanwhile, the adjustable base has an upwardly extending protruding edge 105, which forms an edge storage groove with the edge storage space. This groove can be used as a support to prevent items from falling and provide better support. Furthermore, a soft pad can be added to the edge storage groove to protect the stored items.

[0038] The display screen is fixed within a recess 139 inside the baffle, and a protective cover 138 is provided on the outer surface of the display screen. Considering the overall size of the product and the information display requirements, the display screen is configured to be 5.45 inches in size with a resolution of 720x1440, which can meet the user's information display needs. Furthermore, a touch button 140 is provided on one side of the display screen, specifically located next to the display screen on one side of the display recess inside the baffle. It is used to switch the display content according to the preset mode of the control component, and also facilitates user operation. For example, the user can project a computer or smartphone onto the display screen via a wireless communication module or by using an electrical connection. To display other content, the signal source can be switched through interactive methods such as buttons, touch, or voice.

[0039] The expansion interface components are configured according to actual usage requirements, mainly including a Type-C interface, a USB interface, an HDMI interface, an RJ45 interface, and an SD card slot. The Type-C interface includes a Type-PD interface for power supply and a full-featured Type-C interface for connecting external devices. The USB interface primarily uses the USB 3.0 protocol. Multiple USB and Type-C interfaces can be configured as needed. The RJ45 interface can be configured as RJ45 1000M to provide high-speed network signal transmission. The SD card slot can be configured with both standard SD card slots and Micro SD card slots to accommodate users with different card sizes. Based on user habits, the SD card slot can be located at the front of the base, while the other interfaces are located at the rear.

[0040] In another embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a wireless charging module electrically connected to the control component is embedded in the first front panel to integrate the wireless charging function. Specifically, a standard wireless charging coil 137 used in the wireless charging module is embedded inside the panel and electrically connected to the control component via a corresponding cable. The panel has a groove 139 for fixing the wireless charging coil, and its surface is covered by a protective cover 138. After power-on, the user can place a wireless charging-enabled electronic device such as a mobile phone or tablet on the front of the panel to perform wireless charging. In the actual product, the wireless charging module and the display screen can be selected according to user needs. If only one is selected, it is configured on the first front panel; if both the wireless charging module and the display screen are selected, the display screen is configured on the first front panel, and the wireless charging module is configured on the first rear panel.

[0041] The control assembly includes a control board housed within an adjustable base and carrying control circuitry. The control board also includes a wireless transmission module, a speaker, and a microphone, enabling Bluetooth speaker functionality. The speaker's corresponding through-hole can be located on the side or bottom of the base. The size of the control board is designed according to the internal space of the base; a modular structure is also possible, with multiple control boards electrically connected via pin-mount cables.

[0042] In terms of control circuitry, the full-function Type-C interface can receive signals from an external host, employing a standardized communication protocol. The signals are output as USB and video signals via the VL171 chip. The video signal is then separated into an HDMI signal by the MST function of the Longxun LT8712SX chip, which can be output to an external display. The HDMI signal can also be converted to a MIPI signal via the LT6911C chip, and then output to the product's display screen via the switch AW35645FBR chip (in this case, displaying video information input from the external host). Simultaneously, the switch AW35645FBR chip can switch to another MIPI signal output from the main control chip to the product's display screen, enabling the display of information such as photo albums, calendars, and weather. The main control chip is the Allwinner (Soc) T113-S3 chip, which can read image or video signals from a memory card inserted via USB, SD card slot, or other interfaces. These signals are converted to MIPI signals by the main control chip and then output to the display screen via the switch AW35645FBR chip, realizing the digital photo frame and electronic photo album functions. The USB signal output from the VL171 chip can be split into multiple USB signals via a USB 3.0 hub chip. One of these USB signals is converted to a Type-C USB 3.0 interface output via the VL162 switch chip. Simultaneously, one set of USB 3.0 signals connects to an RTL8153B to Gigabit Ethernet adapter (RJ45 1000M), thus enabling docking station functionality. The wireless transmission module can be configured as a Bluetooth module and a wireless network adapter, connecting to the internet to synchronize and update calendar, weather, time, and other information, enabling multi-information display. Furthermore, replacing the control module with a more advanced one can integrate artificial intelligence (AI) to create an interactive smart assistant.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any changes made based on the design principles of this utility model, or any non-creative changes made on this basis, shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
