[0002] A car docking station is a device specifically designed for use in vehicles. Its main purpose is to expand the vehicle's interface functionality. It expands the vehicle's limited interfaces, such as USB and HDMI ports, allowing drivers and passengers to connect various electronic devices like smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches. This meets needs for charging, data transfer, and external displays. For example, with a car docking station, users can easily project navigation information from their phone onto the car's display screen for easier navigation viewing. It can also charge multiple devices simultaneously, solving the problem of insufficient charging ports in the car.

[0003] Traditional vehicle docking stations have limited functionality, merely fulfilling device connectivity needs. While electronic devices are stored inside for charging or when not in use, they lack effective storage and organization. This leads to devices shifting and swaying when driving on bumpy roads, causing serious damage to idle devices. Charging devices may be severely bent, resulting in irreparable damage. Furthermore, as travel time increases and the number of devices grows, tangled wires become unsightly and prone to damage. Therefore, we propose a vehicle docking station with integrated storage functionality. Utility Model Content

The extension length of the telescopic magnetic head data cable 6 is effectively controlled by the cable winding device integrated inside the expansion dock body 1.

[0022] Furthermore, a set of equally spaced output interfaces 5 are provided on the top end of the docking station 1, away from the electronic device placement slot 7. The output interfaces 5 are integrated and connected to the interior of the docking station 1. The output interfaces 5 facilitate the connection of data cables with different interfaces to the outside, thereby improving its functional versatility.

[0023] Furthermore, a spare magnetic connector placement compartment 11 is provided between the output interface 5 at the top of the docking station body 1 and the electronic device placement slot 7. The top of the spare magnetic connector placement compartment 11 has a rectangular opening structure. On the side of the output interface 5 at the top of the spare magnetic connector placement compartment 11, there are two symmetrically distributed connecting blocks 12. The connecting blocks 12 are rotatably connected to the protective cover 4. The bottom of the spare magnetic connector placement compartment 11 has five equally spaced placement slots 13. Multiple different magnetic connectors to be replaced can be placed in the placement slots 13 inside the spare magnetic connector placement compartment 11. The magnetic connectors can be freely replaced with the telescopic magnetic head data cable 6 connectors, improving the overall practicality and flexibility.

[0024] Furthermore, the clamping device 2 consists of two parts: a clamping plate 14 and two sets of axially symmetrically distributed elastic elements 15.
