Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of docking stations, and specifically to a docking station with a handle function. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the e-sports industry, many handheld gaming devices (hereinafter referred to as "handheld consoles") have emerged, primarily designed for gaming. These consoles cater to gamers, catering to their needs for playing games outdoors or while on the go. These handheld consoles have the following characteristics: 1. They feature physical buttons and joysticks, something virtual buttons can never replace. 2. They offer a better grip; the design prioritizes both portability and comfortable handling. 3. Battery life and heat management: handheld consoles generally have long battery life. Regarding heat, due to recent improvements in processor performance and the increasing computational demands of games, the surface temperature of a handheld console typically reaches around 45-55 degrees Celsius. While not technically high, it can feel quite warm to the touch. 4. All of the handheld's performance is dedicated to gaming, allowing for better performance even with hardware limitations compared to PCs. 5. They support peripheral expansion, enabling connection to monitors, networks, keyboards, mice, and other peripherals for data exchange and device control.

[0003] These features have made them popular with more users, leading to increased user engagement. Users may continue playing at home, but prolonged gaming sessions can become too demanding on the built-in display, causing eye strain and fatigue. Furthermore, if the handheld's temperature isn't properly dissipated during extended use, it can negatively impact the user experience and even cause overheating. These handhelds are feature-rich and support Type-C expansion, allowing users to connect to large monitors and external keyboard and mouse players for a better, more immersive desktop gaming experience. This product utilizes Type-C technology to enable desktop mode expansion for these handhelds and aids in heat dissipation, providing a superior user experience. To address the aforementioned issues, publication number 202222351036.7 discloses a multi-functional expansion dock specifically for handheld game consoles. It includes a base, with a backrest bracket integrally connected to the upper surface of the base housing. A heat sink is rotatably connected to the backrest bracket via a rotating mechanism. The heat sink includes a heat dissipation working surface, and a placement slot is provided on the base on the side of the heat sink's working surface. The heat dissipation working surface protrudes from the plane of the backrest bracket on the same side. The expansion dock can be used as a support for the handheld console, allowing users to free their hands and switch from handheld to desktop gaming. It also allows the handheld console to connect to large-screen displays, game controllers, and other peripherals, providing a better gaming experience. Furthermore, the efficient heat sink effectively overcomes the high-temperature problem of handheld consoles. However, this expansion dock still has the following problems: its functionality is limited, only providing expansion and placement functions. When users need to control the console with a gamepad, an external gamepad is required, affecting the user's immediate usage needs, resulting in poor convenience and impacting portability.
