Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of docking station technology, and in particular to a wireless internet access docking station. Background Technology
[0002] Existing docking stations are typically equipped with wired network interfaces, providing network support to computers via Ethernet cables. However, this design has significant drawbacks when working remotely or using outdoors. When there are no wired network interfaces available, the docking station cannot provide network connectivity to the computer, limiting its usage scenarios.
[0003] While some docking stations on the market support wireless networks, most rely on Wi-Fi hotspots, which are insufficient when network signals are unstable or when independent network access is required. Furthermore, the interfaces of traditional docking stations are constantly exposed, making them prone to dust accumulation or physical damage, affecting device lifespan and stability.

[0025] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described below.
[0028] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a wireless internet access extension dock, including a housing 1, a control module disposed inside the housing 1, and a connecting line 11 disposed at one end of the housing 1 and electrically connected to the control module. The end of the housing 1 away from the connecting line 11 is connected to an outer shell 4. A limiting guide structure 3 is provided between the housing 1 and the outer shell 4. Several expansion interfaces 2 are provided on the side of the housing 1.
[0029] Several expansion interfaces 2 include at least an HDMI interface, a SIM card slot, and a USB interface.
[0030] The docking station consists of a housing 1 and an outer shell 4. The housing 1 is used to install the control module (PCB board). One end of the housing 1 is connected to a connection cable 11 that is electrically connected to the control module. Several expansion interfaces 2 are arrayed on one side of the housing 1. The expansion interfaces 2 can include HDMI interface, USB interface, Type-C interface and SIM card slot. The control module is equipped with a network adapter unit relative to the SIM card slot. By inserting a SIM card, the docking station can provide a stable and independent network signal for computer devices in various situations without the need to connect an external network cable.
[0031] A limiting guide structure 3 is provided between the housing 1 and the outer shell 4. The outer shell 4 itself can be slidably connected to the housing 1 through the limiting guide structure 3. Through the limiting guide structure 3, the user can push the outer shell 4 and close several expansion interfaces 2 when the expansion dock is not in use. This can effectively protect the various interfaces of the expansion dock and extend the service life of the expansion dock. Through the cooperation of the above structures, the user experience can be effectively improved.
[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the end of the housing 1 away from the outer shell 4 is provided with a connector 12 connected to the outer shell 4. The connecting line 11 passes through the connector 12. The connector 12 has a sealing part protruding towards the outer shell 4. By providing the connector 12, when the outer shell 4 covers the housing 1, the opening of the outer shell 4 can be sealed by abutting against the sealing part on the connector 12, so that the outer shell 4 can protect the entire housing 1 to the greatest extent.
[0033] In one embodiment of this application, the housing 1 is provided with a buckle 13 at one end near the connecting line 11 relative to the outer shell 4, the buckle 13 is provided with a reset structure relative to the housing 1, and the outer shell 4 is provided with a mating part 41 relative to the buckle 13;
[0034] When the outer casing 4 is connected to the sealing part, the buckle 13 is engaged with the mating part 41.
[0035] The housing 1 is provided with a buckle 13. One end of the buckle 13 is rotatably connected to the housing 1, and a reset structure (spring) is provided between the buckle 13 and the housing 1. By pressing the buckle 13, the buckle 13 can be retracted from the mating part 41 of the outer shell 4 into the housing 1. The buckle 13 can quickly lock the outer shell 4 and the housing 1, thereby improving the protective effect of the outer shell 4.
[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the connector 12 is provided with a first support block 14 at the end away from the outer shell 4, the first support block 14 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the connector 12, and the outer shell 4 is provided with a second support block 42 at the end away from the connecting line 11.
[0037] The first support block 14 and the second support block 42 have the same height.
[0038] The connector 12 has a first support block 14 at its end, and the outer shell 4 has a second support block 42 at its end. The first support block 14 and the second support block 42 are both made of rubber and are of the same height. The two support blocks can ensure that the expansion dock is placed stably in a certain place, making the expansion dock easy to use.
[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the limiting guide structure 3 includes a guide groove 31 disposed on the outer periphery of the housing 1 and a guide block 34 disposed on the inner wall of the housing 4, the guide block 34 being slidably connected to the guide groove 31.
[0040] Multiple guide grooves 31 are provided at the corners of the outer periphery of the housing 1, while guide blocks 34 are provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 4. The guide grooves 31 and guide blocks 34 cooperate with each other to ensure that the outer shell 4 opens and closes smoothly relative to the housing 1. The entire groove structure can increase the contact area between the guide grooves 31 and guide blocks 34, making the connection between the two more stable.
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, a connecting block 32 protrudes from the guide groove 31 toward the guide block 34, and a connecting groove 35 is provided on the guide block 34 relative to the connecting block 32. By setting the connecting block 32 and the connecting groove 35, the structure inside the guide groove 31 and the guide block 34 can be made more complex, and the connection between the two can be made tighter, which can effectively prevent loosening between the outer shell 4 and the housing 1.
[0042] In one embodiment of this application, a locking member 33 is provided at the end of the housing 1 away from the connecting line 11. The locking member 33 is connected to a return spring. A locking groove 36 is provided at the end of the housing 4 near the connecting line 11 relative to the locking member 33. A release part 37 is provided at the end of the housing 4 away from the connecting line 11 at the locking groove 36. The height of the release part 37 gradually decreases along the direction close to the locking groove.
[0043] The locking element 33 can be a locking pin or a locking bead structure. The locking element 33 can automatically lock the outer shell 4 through the return spring. The locking element 33 itself is installed on the shell 1, and the outer shell 4 is provided with a locking groove 36. When the outer shell 4 is pulled to a certain length, the locking element 33 will pass into the locking groove 36 to achieve automatic locking. Because the locking groove 36 has a release part 37 on the side away from the connecting line 11, when it is necessary to close the outer shell 4 again, it is only necessary to push the outer shell 4, and the release part 37 will press the locking element 33 back into the shell 1. Through the above structure, the outer shell 4 can protect the entire structure of the expansion dock and can efficiently self-lock to prevent the outer shell 4 from falling off, which can effectively improve the user experience.
