Each charging area 130 is provided with a power bank 200. The power bank 200 is provided with a second connector (not shown in the figure) and a second charging interface (not shown in the figure). The first connector and the second connector are detachably connected, and the first charging interface and the second charging interface are electrically connected.

[0035] This utility model's charging station features several charging areas 130 on a main unit 100, each with a detachable sub-power bank 200. When a user needs to charge multiple mobile electronic devices, they can remove the sub-power bank 200 from the main unit 100 to charge the devices simultaneously, meeting the needs of multiple users or devices charging at the same time. Furthermore, users can carry the sub-power bank 200 with them to charge their mobile electronic devices, solving the problems of exposed charging cables affecting user movement and difficulties in cable management.

[0036] This invention provides a first charging interface on the charging area 130 and a second charging interface electrically connected to the first charging interface on the sub-power bank 200. When the sub-power bank 200 needs charging, it is only necessary to connect the second connector of the sub-power bank 200 to the first connector of the charging area 130 to assemble the sub-power bank 200 onto the charging area 130, thus completing the electrical connection between the first and second charging interfaces. The female connector 100 can then charge the sub-power bank 200, making charging convenient and efficient.

[0037] This invention provides a cable tray 110 and a clearance groove 120 at the bottom of the female connector 100. The clearance groove 120 connects the inner wall of the cable tray 110 and the outer wall of the female connector 100. A power supply interface 140 is provided in the cable tray 110. The cable tray 110 is used to store the charging cable of the female connector 100. When the female connector 100 is not needed for charging, the charging cable can be stored in the cable tray 110, which manages the charging cable and prevents it from being exposed, affecting aesthetics or the user's movement. When the female connector 100 needs to be charged, one end of the charging cable is inserted into the power supply interface 140, and the charging cable located at the bottom of the female connector 100 is inserted into the clearance groove 120 and passes through the clearance groove 120 to the bottom of the female connector 100. On the one hand, this can keep the bottom of the female connector 100 stable and prevent the charging station from shaking or collapsing. On the other hand, the clearance groove 120 guides the direction of the charging cable and manages the cable during charging.

[0038] In summary, the charging station of this utility model has both charging and cable storage functions. Specifically, the charging station of this utility model can meet the needs of multiple people or multiple devices charging at the same time. It is simple to operate and has high charging efficiency. It also solves the problems of exposed charging cables affecting user movement and cable management difficulties when multiple devices are charging at the same time, and has the function of storing the 100mm female charging cable.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the female connector 100 is a quadrangular prism, comprising a first side 150, a second side 151, a third side 152, and a fourth side 153. The first side 150 and the third side 152 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second side 151 and the fourth side 153 are arranged opposite to each other. In this embodiment, two charging areas 130 are provided on each of the second side 151 and the fourth side 153 of the female connector 100, and the two charging areas 130 are arranged vertically spaced apart. In other embodiments, charging areas 130 can be provided on each side of the female connector 100, and one, three, four, or five charging areas 130 can be provided on each side, and the number of charging areas 130 can be set as needed.

[0040] Furthermore, the first and second connectors are magnetically attached, a simple magnetic method that allows users to quickly install the sub-power bank 200 onto the charging area 130 of the female connector 100 or remove it from the charging area 130 for charging. In other embodiments, the first and second connectors can be connected by a threaded connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or a Velcro connection. Furthermore, when the first and second connectors are connected, the first and second charging interfaces are electrically connected, and the female connector 100 charges the sub-power bank 200.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the power supply interface 140 is disposed on the inner side wall of the cable take-up groove 110, and the power supply interface 140 is disposed opposite to the relief groove 120. By disposing of the relief groove 120 on the opposite side of the power supply interface 140, the charging cable can pass directly through the relief groove 120 and extend from the side of the base without bending, reducing the bending frequency of the charging cable, protecting the charging cable, and helping to extend the service life of the charging cable.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the relief groove 120 is arc-shaped. Since the charging cable is generally round, the arc-shaped bottom of the groove can be adapted to the outer surface of the charging cable, making it easier for the charging cable to pass through the relief groove 120.

[0043] Furthermore, the bottom of the cable tray 110 is provided with a first magnetic attracting element (not shown in the figure) for attracting the charging cable. Correspondingly, the charging cable of the female connector 100 of this invention includes a conductive wire (not shown in the figure) and a flexible magnetic attracting layer (not shown in the figure) wrapped around the wire. The flexible magnetic attracting layer is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic attracting element. When the female connector 100 is not needed for charging, the user can organize the charging cable and the flexible magnetic attracting layer on the surface of the charging cable can attract the first magnetic attracting element at the bottom of the cable tray 110, making it less likely for the charging cable to fall out of the cable tray 110.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the female base 100 is provided with a receiving groove (not shown in the figure), and a storage box 300 is slidably disposed within the receiving groove. By providing a receiving groove on the female base 100 and slidably disposing of the storage box 300 within it, the storage box 300 can be used to store items, giving the charging station not only a charging function but also a storage function. Specifically, in this embodiment, a receiving groove is provided on each of the first side 150 and the third side 152 of the female base 100. In other embodiments, the receiving grooves can be provided on various sides of the female base 100 as needed.

[0045] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the storage box 300 includes a first side plate 310 near the bottom of the receiving groove. The upper part of the first side plate 310 is provided with a guide groove 320 that penetrates the thickness direction of the first side plate 310. The bottom of the receiving groove is provided with a slide rail. One end of the slide rail is fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving groove, and the other end of the slide rail extends toward the opening of the receiving groove. The slide rail penetrates the guide groove 320 and is slidably connected with the guide groove 320.

[0046] like Figure 5As shown, a second magnetic member 340 is provided on the side of the first side plate 310 near the receiving groove, and a third magnetic member (not shown in the figure) is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove to magnetically engage with the second magnetic member 340. Through the magnetic engagement of the third magnetic member and the second magnetic member 340, the storage box 300 is less likely to fall out of the receiving groove.

[0047] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 The storage box 300 also includes a second side plate 350 away from the bottom of the receiving groove. The second side plate 350 is located outside the receiving groove, and the side of the second side plate 350 near the female seat 100 abuts against the side wall of the female seat 100. By setting the above structure, when the storage box 300 is located inside the receiving groove, that is, when the storage box 300 is in the closed state, the second side plate 350 protrudes outside the receiving groove. The user can pull the storage box 300 out of the receiving groove by pulling the second side plate 350. In other words, the setting of the second side plate 350 makes it convenient for the user to open the storage box 300 for storage.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the female dock 100 is also equipped with a speaker mechanism 400 for playing audio, allowing users to enjoy music or other audio content while charging, enhancing the user experience and satisfaction. Specifically, in this embodiment, a speaker mechanism 400 is provided on each of the first side 150 and the third side 152 of the female dock 100, enabling stereo playback. By separating the left and right channels, it provides users with a richer and more realistic audio experience. This configuration can simulate the position and movement of sound in three-dimensional space, enhancing the immersive experience of media such as music and movies. The relatively positioned speaker mechanisms 400 can create a wider sound field, making the sound distribution more uniform, allowing users to enjoy good sound quality over a larger area.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a wireless charging coil 500 is provided on the top of the female base 100, which allows mobile electronic devices to be directly placed on the top of the female base 100 for charging.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the female seat 100 is provided with an anti-slip pad 600, which makes the female seat 100 less prone to sliding, and the anti-slip pad 600 can protect the bottom of the female seat 100 and prevent the bottom of the female seat 100 from being damaged by friction with the ground or table.

[0051] In summary, compared with existing technologies, the charging station of this utility model has multiple functions, integrating charging, cable storage, audio playback, and storage functions. It allows users to charge multiple mobile devices while enjoying music or audio playback, and also stores and organizes items, thus improving the user experience.

[0052] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0053] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
