Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As mobile devices such as laptops and tablets become thinner and lighter with simplified interfaces, docking stations have become essential accessories for users to connect external monitors, wired networks, storage devices, keyboards, mice, and other peripherals, as well as for high-speed charging. The magnetic design allows the docking station to be more stably fixed in the desired location.

[0003] Existing docking stations have complex structures and unreasonable designs. In actual use, due to the shape of the docking station, the magnets on the surface of the docking station will continuously rub against the chassis when the docking station is taken out, which will cause some damage to the surface of the chassis. To address this problem, the inventor designed a magnetic docking station. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a magnetic expansion dock, which includes an expansion dock body 1 and a guide member 5; the guide member 5 is disposed at the bottom of the expansion dock body 1.

[0026] The guide component 5 includes a fixing block 51, a mounting groove 52, a rotating plate 55, and a guide groove 56. The fixing block 51 is located at the bottom of the main body 1 of the expansion dock. The mounting groove 52 is opened inside the fixing block 51. The rotating plate 55 is rotatably connected to the inside of the mounting groove 52. The guide groove 56 is opened inside the rotating plate 55. The guide groove 56 is rectangular in shape.

[0027] The main body 1 of the docking station is the core functional module, integrating expansion interfaces such as USB, HDMI, and network port, as well as internal circuit boards, to realize functions such as data transmission, video output, and charging. The fixing block 51 is fixed to the bottom of the main body 1 of the docking station and serves as the mounting base for the guide 5. The mounting groove 52 is used to accommodate the mounting block 53 and provides mounting space for the rotating plate 55. The rotating plate 55 is the core operating component and can rotate 90° around the connecting shaft 54. The guide groove 56 on it allows fingers to pull and exert force, and then the docking station is pried off the magnetic surface using the lever principle.

[0028] A connecting shaft 54 ​​is sleeved inside the rotating plate 55;

[0029] The connecting shaft 54 ​​is a rotating shaft structure, which allows the rotating plate 55 to rotate;

[0030] Mounting blocks 53 are fixed on the outer surfaces of both sides of the connecting shaft 54. The mounting blocks 53 are inserted into the interior of the mounting groove 52. There are two sets of mounting blocks 53.

[0031] Mounting block 53 is used to place connecting shaft 54 ​​inside mounting groove 52, and then rotating plate 55 inside mounting groove 52;

[0032] Screws 57 are threadedly connected between any set of mounting blocks 53 and fixing blocks 51.

[0033] Screw 57 is used to lock the mounting block 53 and the fixing block 51 to ensure that the rotating plate 55 is stable and does not fall off;

[0034] A connecting column 2 is provided on the top of the main body 1 of the expansion dock, and a support plate 3 is fixed on the top surface of the connecting column 2;

[0035] The connecting post 2 is a winding and storage structure for the data cable 6, and the connecting post 2 supports and installs the main body 1 of the docking station, and then supports and installs the support plate 3. The support plate 3 is used to support and install the magnet block 4.

[0036] A magnet block 4 is fixed to the top surface of the support plate 3, and the magnet block 4 is located in the middle of the support plate 3;

[0037] Data cable 6 is wrapped around the outside of connecting post 2;

[0038] Magnet 4 is magnetically attached to the metal surface of a computer or device, enabling quick fixing and disassembly of the docking station. Data cable 6 connects the docking station to the computer host, transmitting data and power.

[0039] Working principle: When the docking station is needed, first plug in the corresponding connecting cable. Under the action of the magnet 4, the docking station body 1 can be quickly fixed in the required position. When the docking station body 1 is not placed in the required position, under the action of the connecting shaft 54, the rotating plate 55 applies a rotational force, causing the rotating plate 55 to rotate 90 degrees. Then, put your finger into the guide groove 56, so that your finger grips the rotating plate 55 and applies a pulling force to the docking station body 1, removing the docking station body 1 from the surface of the chassis. Then, place the docking station body 1 in the required position.

[0040] When it is necessary to install the rotating plate 55, align the mounting block 53 with the mounting groove 52 so that the mounting block 53 is placed inside the fixing block 51, and then screw 57 into the fixing block 51 and the mounting block 53.

[0041] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
