Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of docking station technology, specifically a docking station with mobile storage function. Background Technology

[0002] A hard drive expansion dock is a device used to connect multiple hard drives, enabling data storage expansion and convenient management. It is commonly used in scenarios that require frequent reading and writing of multiple hard drives (such as video editing, data backup, server expansion, etc.). It can connect multiple drive bays simultaneously, supporting 2-10 drive bays (commonly 2-bay and 4-bay), and is compatible with SATA interface hard drives (HDD and SSD). Some high-end models support NVMe protocol M.2 interfaces.

[0003] Existing docking stations with mobile storage functionality still have the following problems when in use: they have certain issues with heat dissipation. Specifically, when a 3.5-inch HDD is installed inside, it generates significant heat during prolonged operation. Furthermore, the multiple 3.5-inch HDDs in these portable docking stations are usually stacked, and the overall casing of the docking station is typically made of plastic without any active heat dissipation design. This easily leads to overheating of the multiple 3.5-inch HDDs, thus shortening their lifespan. Utility Model Content

A front baffle 2 is provided at the front end of the shell 11, and a rear main control board 3 is provided at the rear end of the shell 11. Multiple first heat dissipation holes 14 are provided at both ends of the inner sidewall of the shell 11. Two temperature-controlled fans 19 are fixedly installed symmetrically on one side of the inner sidewall of the shell 11. A bracket 15 is fixedly connected to the other side of the inner sidewall of the shell 11. Four limiting strips 17 are fixedly connected equidistantly from top to bottom on one side of the inner sidewall of the bracket 15, and four limiting strips 17 are also fixedly connected equidistantly from top to bottom on the other side of the inner sidewall of the shell 11. The limiting clip 17 and the outer shell 11 are made of aluminum alloy. The bracket 15 and the limiting clip 17 are both made of copper. Multiple second heat dissipation holes 16 are opened on one side of the inner wall of the bracket 15. The entire outer shell 11 is made of aluminum alloy, and it contains a copper bracket 15 and a copper limiting clip 17. This facilitates the heat from the hard drive installed inside to be conducted to the outer shell 11 for dissipation through the copper bracket 15 or the limiting clip 17. At the same time, the two ends of the outer shell 11 and one side of the bracket 15 have through heat dissipation holes that match the mounting position of the hard drive. Two temperature-controlled fans 19 are provided on one side of the outer shell 11. They can automatically adjust their speed according to the temperature inside the outer shell 11, taking into account both heat dissipation and quiet operation, and preventing the hard drive in the expansion dock from overheating and being damaged.

[0024] The outer casing 11 has grooves 12 at the front and rear openings, and each of the four corners of the inner side wall of the groove 12 has a threaded hole 13. The front baffle 2 includes a sealing plate 21 fixedly installed in the front groove 12 by four first screws 22. The first screws 22 are threaded into the threaded holes 13 on their corresponding sides. A handle 23 is fixedly connected to the center of the front end of the sealing plate 21, which can be held to lift and move the entire expansion dock.

[0025] The rear main control board 3 includes a control board 31 fixedly installed in the rear groove 12 by four second screws 33. The second screws 33 are threaded into the threaded holes 13 on the corresponding side. The front end of the control board 31 has four hard disk interfaces 32 arranged equidistantly from top to bottom. The four hard disk interfaces 32 can be used to connect the outer casing 11 and the four hard disks assembled in the bracket 15 for operation. It adopts a loading structure design that facilitates disassembly and assembly. The front and rear ends of the outer casing 11 are respectively equipped with a front baffle 2 and the rear main control board 3 by screws. The front end of the rear main control board 3 is provided with a hard disk interface 32 that matches the hard disk. After disassembly, the hard disk slidably assembled inside can be pushed out through its copper bracket 15, which is more convenient when replacing and maintaining the internal hard disks of the overall expansion dock.

[0026] A display screen 4 is provided at the upper rear end of the control board 31 for providing feedback on the working status. A data transmission panel 5 is provided on one side of the middle rear end of the control board 31, which can be connected to a data terminal via a data cable for data transmission. A power supply interface 6 is provided on the other side of the middle rear end of the control board 31, which can be connected to a power supply device via a power supply cable to power the docking station.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: It connects the four hard drives mounted in the housing 11 and the bracket 15 via four hard drive interfaces 32. It adopts a loading structure design that facilitates disassembly and assembly. The front and rear ends of the housing 11 are respectively fitted with a front baffle 2 and a rear main control board 3 via screws. The front end of the rear main control board 3 is provided with a hard drive interface 32 matching the hard drives. After disassembly, the hard drives slidably mounted inside can be pushed out through its copper bracket 15. This makes it convenient to replace and maintain the internal hard drives of the overall expansion dock. A display screen 4 is provided at the upper rear end of the control board 31 for feedback on the working status. A data transmission panel 5 is provided on one side of the middle rear end of the control board 31, which can be connected to a data terminal via a data cable. For data transmission, a power interface 6 is located on the other side of the rear center of the control board 31. It can be connected to a power supply device via a power cable to power the docking station. Since the entire body is made of aluminum alloy shell 11, and it has a built-in copper bracket 15 and a copper limiting strip 17, the heat of the hard drive installed inside can be conducted to the shell 11 for dissipation through the copper bracket 15 or the limiting strip 17. At the same time, the two ends of the shell 11 and one side of the bracket 15 have through heat dissipation holes that match the mounting position of the hard drive. Two temperature-controlled fans 19 are provided on one side of the shell 11. They can automatically adjust their speed according to the temperature inside the shell 11 (such as stopping the fan when the temperature is below 40°C), which takes into account both heat dissipation and quiet operation, and avoids the hard drive inside the docking station from overheating and being damaged.
