[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model and not to limit the utility model.

[0020] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the utility model provides a multi -functional docking station 100 of interface position adjustable, it includes package shell 10, upper cover 20, circuit board 30, connecting line 40, connecting terminal 50, several extension lines 60 and several extension terminals 70.

[0021] The top of package shell 10 is equipped with the adjusting cavity 11 of upper end opening, and its bottom is also equipped with the installation cavity 12, the upper cover 20 covers on the top of package shell 10, the circuit board 30 is installed in the installation cavity 12, one end of connecting line 40 is electrically connected with circuit board 30, and the other end extends outside package shell 10, and connecting terminal 50 is installed on the outside end of connecting line 40. The top edge of package shell 10 and the bottom edge of upper cover 20 are also equipped with several clamping grooves 13 that are connected inside and outside, several extension lines 60 are located in adjusting cavity 11, and one end of the extension lines 60 extends in installation cavity 12 and is electrically connected with circuit board 30, and several extension terminals 70 are respectively installed on the other end of several extension lines 60, and the several extension terminals 70 are respectively clamped and installed in the clamping grooves 13 of package shell 10 and upper cover 20.

[0022] When the interface position of docking station needs to be adjusted, only need to open the upper cover 20 on the top of package shell 10, then take out the extension port that needs to be changed from the original clamping groove 13, then clamping and installing it in the new clamping groove 13, and finally, re-covering the upper cover 20 on the top of package shell 10. Since the extension line 60 inside the adjusting cavity 11 can ensure that the extension terminal 70 is electrically connected with the circuit board 30 to realize the extension function, and has flexibility and sufficient length that can be pulled and bent, the extension terminal 70 can be flexibly exchanged in any one clamping groove 13 position to correspond to the position of the external equipment. The docking station with flexible interface position can not be messy, tortuous and entangled when connected with external equipment, so that the wire harness is more neat.

[0023] The interface position adjustable multifunctional docking station 100 further comprises a telescopic adjusting rod 80 and a telescopic spring 81, and the adjusting cavity 11 of the packaging shell 10 is further provided with a mounting column 14, and the mounting column 14 is provided with a telescopic adjusting hole 15 with an upper opening. The telescopic adjusting rod 80 extends in the telescopic adjusting hole 15 from top to bottom through the upper cover 20 and is movable and telescopic, and the telescopic spring 81 is sleeved on the telescopic adjusting rod 80 and the two ends thereof are respectively abutted against the lower end of the telescopic adjusting rod 80 and the upper end of the telescopic adjusting hole 15. Through the connection of the elastic telescopic structure, the opening and closing between the packaging shell 10 and the upper cover 20 is also more convenient.

[0024] The inner wall of the telescopic adjusting hole 15 is provided with a limiting strip (not shown in the figure), the lower end of the telescopic adjusting rod 80 is correspondingly provided with a limiting notch 82, and the relative position of the limiting notch 82 and the limiting strip can be adjusted by movable rotation of the telescopic adjusting rod 80. The limiting strip and the limiting notch 82 are designed to enable the telescopic adjusting rod 80 to be limited or unlocked between the telescopic adjusting hole 15 through movable rotation, thereby preventing the problem of the upper cover 20 not being tightly closed due to accidental upward movement of the telescopic adjusting rod 80.

[0025] The interface position adjustable multifunctional docking station 100 further comprises a bottom cover 90, and the mounting cavity 12 at the bottom of the packaging shell 10 is designed with an open lower end. The circuit board 30 is clamped and mounted in the mounting cavity 12 from bottom to top, and the bottom cover 90 is clamped and mounted on the bottom of the packaging shell 10 from bottom to top to clamp and limit the circuit board 30. The movably mounted bottom cover 90 facilitates disassembly and assembly, so that the circuit board 30 can be more easily clamped and mounted in the mounting cavity 12 or disassembled from the mounting cavity 12 for maintenance. The bottom cover 90 is further provided with a plurality of heat dissipation through holes 91 which penetrate the bottom cover 90 from top to bottom and laterally. The heat dissipation through holes 91 on the bottom cover 90 can improve the heat dissipation effect of the circuit board 30 of the docking station during operation.

[0026] The expansion terminal 70 comprises an insulating shell 71 and an electrical interface 72, the insulating shell 71 is clamped and mounted in the clamping groove 13, and the electrical interface 72 is mounted in the insulating shell 71 and is electrically connected with the expansion line 60. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shapes and sizes of the plurality of clamping grooves 13 are consistent, and the shapes and sizes of the plurality of insulating shells 71 are consistent. The use of clamping grooves 13 and insulating shells 71 with unified standards enables multiple expansion terminals 70 to be randomly replaced, and the electrical interfaces 72 in the insulating shells 71 can be set to different models according to the functional requirements of the docking station, highlighting the multifunctionality of the docking station.

[0027] The tail of the insulating shell 71 is also provided with a limiting groove 711, and the corresponding limiting protrusion 131 is arranged in the clamping groove 13, and the limiting groove 711 can be clamped and limited by the limiting protrusion 131. The structure of the limiting groove 711 and the limiting protrusion 131 enables the insulating shell 71 to be firmly clamped and arranged in the clamping groove 13, effectively avoiding the problems of loose clamping and difficult plugging of the expansion terminal 70. The middle part of the plurality of expansion lines 60 is designed in a spiral structure. The spiral middle part of the expansion line 60 ensures sufficient length to support the movement of the expansion terminal 70, and can also reduce the degree of disorder of the mutual entanglement of the expansion lines 60 in the adjusting cavity 11.

[0028] In summary, the multifunctional docking station 100 with adjustable interface position has the advantages that: through the design of the upper and lower cover combined shell structure, combined with the plurality of expansion lines 60 and the plurality of movably arranged expansion terminals 70, the position of each expansion terminal 70 can be flexibly adjusted during use, thereby more conveniently connecting with the corresponding position accessories or equipment, greatly improving the problems of expansion terminal wiring bending, winding and even difficult wiring; and the combined installation of the packaging shell 10, the upper cover 20, the bottom cover 90 and the telescopic adjusting rod 80 and the like structure is more convenient for disassembly and assembly or interface position adjustment; the multifunctional docking station 100 has strong practicability and strong popularization significance.
