Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0021] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.
[0022] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features for a similar purpose, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a multi-functional expansion dock for split-line storage, including an expansion dock body 1 and a storage shell 2. The storage shell 2 is fitted onto the expansion dock body 1. A connecting strap 3 is installed on the open end face of the storage shell 2, and a positioning plate 4 is installed on the other end of the connecting strap 3. Multiple longitudinal grooves 8 are provided on the surface of the expansion dock body 1. A slider 9 is installed on the inner side of the positioning plate 4 opposite to the groove 8. The slider 9 is slidably disposed in the groove 8. Multiple positioning grooves are provided on both sides of the connecting strap 3 on the surface of the expansion dock body 1. Each positioning groove is provided with a positioning post 5. The positioning post 5 on one side abuts against the side of the positioning plate 4. Multiple grooves 11 are provided on the inner wall surface of the storage shell 2. Each groove 11 is provided with a winding post 14.
[0024] In this embodiment, one end of the winding post 14 is threadedly connected to a sleeve 13. The groove 11 is located on both sides of the sleeve 13 and is provided with shaft holes 15. Shaft rods 12 are provided in the shaft holes 15. One end of the shaft rods 12 is installed on the sleeve 13. The bottom surface of the groove 11 is provided with screw holes 6 that match the winding post at the position opposite to the sleeve 13.
[0025] In this embodiment, one end of the groove 11 expands outward to form an enlarged groove 10, and one end of the winding post 14 extends into the enlarged groove 10 and protrudes to form a limiting part. The enlarged groove facilitates the insertion of fingers.
[0026] In this embodiment, one end of the storage shell 2 is provided with a wiring groove 7, and the cables on the docking station body 1 are arranged through the wiring groove 7.
[0027] In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the slide groove 8 and the slider 9 are both trapezoidal. The slide groove and the slider can position the positioning plate, preventing the positioning plate from detaching from the slide groove and also tightening the storage shell.
[0028] In this embodiment, a compression spring is installed on one end of the positioning post 5 inside the positioning groove, and the other end of the compression spring is installed on the inner wall of the positioning groove. When the storage shell needs to be moved, the positioning post can be squeezed. The movement of the positioning post can squeeze the compression spring, so that the positioning post can be smoothly retracted into the positioning groove.
[0029] In this embodiment, the inner side of the storage shell 2 is arranged to contact the outer side of the docking station body 1, which increases the sealing between the storage shell and the docking station body and can better seal the interface.
[0030] In this embodiment, both the positioning plate 4 and the slider 9 are made of plastic material, which is a high-strength plastic similar to engineering plastics, to ensure its sturdiness and service life.
[0031] When the splitter is not carried, the storage shell covers the outside of the docking station, thereby sealing the interfaces on the docking station, preventing external dust from entering, and increasing the service life of the interfaces.
[0032] When carrying the split line, the positioning post is squeezed. After the positioning post is no longer blocked, the positioning plate can move to one side along the slide. After the tension of the positioning plate is no longer released, the storage shell can be taken out downward along the dock body and opened outward by the flexibility of the connecting belt, so that the inner cavity of the storage shell is set upward.
[0033] After the above is completed, insert your fingers into the enlarged groove and lift the winding post by holding the limiting part. After the winding post is vertical, the winding post will be positioned opposite the screw hole. The winding post can be rotated so that one end of the winding post can be threaded into the screw hole, so that the winding post can be vertically positioned. At this time, the branch wire can be coiled on the two horizontally opposite winding posts.
[0034] After the winding is completed, the storage shell can be put back onto the docking station body. As the positioning plate is pulled, the connecting belt and the storage shell can be driven to rise. The storage shell and the docking station body can press the internal branch lines together to ensure its stability. The positioning plate will then move to the two positioning posts on the other side, thereby tightening the moved storage shell.
[0035] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
