Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A docking station is an external device designed specifically for laptops. By replicating or expanding the laptop's ports, it enables one-stop connectivity with peripherals such as monitors, USB flash drives, SD cards, TF cards, external hard drives, keyboards, and mice. Docking stations are typically carried in laptop bags along with the laptop. To avoid losing small devices like USB flash drives, SD cards, and TF cards due to frequent plugging and unplugging, many users choose to plug the connected storage devices directly into the docking station and carry them with them. However, docking stations are easily squeezed or bumped when moved within a bag. External force may be transmitted through the casing to the storage device's interface, causing deformation of the USB flash drive's gold fingers, breakage of the SD card slot, or detachment of internal solder joints. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of existing docking stations, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a docking station with a storage function, which can store small devices inside the docking station and effectively avoid damage to the devices caused by bumps and knocks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention is achieved through the following technical measures: an expansion dock with storage function, including a shell and a cover plate, wherein the shell is provided with an expansion interface and a storage slot, and a cover plate is detachably fixed to the outside of the storage slot, and the cover plate is fixedly closed to the outside of the storage slot to completely seal the storage slot.

[0005] Furthermore, the storage slot and the cover are detachably fixedly connected by a magnetic structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the expansion dock with storage function also includes storage strips, the two ends of which are fitted and snapped into the inner wall of the storage slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the storage strip is provided with several slots, which are available in various sizes for inserting various small devices.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage strip that fits into the storage slot is provided with an anti-slip strip.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage strip is provided with a snap-fit ​​strip.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: This is an expansion dock with a storage function, which allows users to store small devices after use in the expansion dock, effectively avoiding damage to the devices caused by bumps and knocks.

[0015] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present application can be combined with each other.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", "bottom", "top", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an expansion dock with storage function, including a shell 1, a cover plate 2, and a storage strip 3. The shell 1 has storage slots 4 on the left and right sides, and expansion interfaces 5 on the other sides. Magnets 6 are provided on the outer edge of the storage slots 4 and the cover plate 2. The cover plate 2 is fixed to the outside of the storage slots 4 by the magnets 6 to completely close the storage slots 4. At least one of the above-mentioned storage slots 4 is provided with a storage strip 3. The storage strip 3 is provided with a groove 7. The groove 7 is provided with various specifications for small devices to be plugged in. One side of the storage strip 3 extends vertically to form a snap-fit ​​strip 8. The two ends of the storage strip 3 are attached to the inner wall of the storage slot 4 and snap-fitted into the storage slot 4. Anti-slip strips 9 are provided on its contact surface.

[0018] This embodiment provides an expansion dock with a storage function. In use, the storage strip 3 is snapped into the storage slot 4, and the anti-slip strip 9 adheres to the side wall of the storage slot 4 to increase friction. When the cover 2 is opened, the storage strip 3 and small devices will not fall out of the storage slot 4. Small devices can be inserted into the slot 7, and the vertical position of the storage strip 3 within the storage slot 4 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the small device. Figure 2 When encountering a small device that cannot fit into slot 7, the storage strip 3 can be reversed so that the snap-fit ​​strip 8 faces outward. Adjust the position of the storage strip 3 up and down so that the small device snaps into the inner wall of the storage slot 4 between the storage strip 3 and the small device. The snap-fit ​​strip 8 can increase the snap-fit ​​stability of the small device. The data cable can be coiled and placed into the storage slot 4, and the data cable is snapped into the inner wall of the storage slot 4 for fixation.

[0019] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
