Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of docking station technology, specifically a USB-C multi-functional docking station. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, laptop interfaces have largely dominated the market with Type-C ports, with most models featuring one or two Type-C ports. The number of other ports has been decreasing. For example, recent Macbooks, except for the M3 and the Pro / Max versions M1 and M2, only have Type-C Thunderbolt ports, resulting in a severe shortage of other ports. To address this port shortage, the mainstream solution is to use a docking station, which expands a single Type-C port to include multiple USB-A ports, HDMI ports, SD card slots, Ethernet ports, and more.

[0003] The greatest advantage of a mini docking station is its port expansion capabilities. As we all know, laptops, due to their size limitations, have far fewer ports than desktop computers, both in terms of quantity and variety, sometimes failing to meet user needs. Mini docking stations, however, offer a variety of port expansion options, essentially giving laptops extra capabilities. Some ports are not natively found on laptops, such as serial ports, PS / 2, DVI, and IBM-specific floppy drive ports; others are more numerous than those on a laptop, such as USB ports. These numerous ports allow laptops to connect to more peripherals simultaneously, improving overall performance and work efficiency. Compared to typical expansion devices, mini docking stations also offer anti-theft features. On the right side of the mini docking station, there is a keyhole. When the laptop is loaded into the mini docking station, the user simply turns the key clockwise to horizontal to lock the laptop in place. Since the mini docking station itself weighs 1 kg, and the combined weight exceeds 3 kg when locked, it is very difficult to steal. Simply connect all the peripherals and cables needed for your daily work to the mini docking station at once. When at work, simply connect your laptop to the mini docking station; there's no need to connect each cable individually to the laptop. Leaving get off work is equally convenient; just press the release button on the mini docking station to detach the laptop from it.

[0004] Currently, the USB-C multi-functional docking station interface structure is relatively simple. After connecting various products to the interface, the connection points are not reinforced, which can easily lead to loosening or detachment between the product's connector and the interface. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a USB-C multi-functional expansion dock, which solves the problem that the current USB-C multi-functional expansion dock has a relatively simple interface structure, and after various products are connected to the interface, the connection parts are not reinforced, and the connector of the product is prone to loosening or falling off.

[0006] Technical solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A USB-C multi-functional docking station includes a docking station body, a conductive wire connected to the right side of the docking station body, a connection port on the front of the docking station body, a support cover and a pressure cover overlapping the front of the docking station body, a lifting groove on the front of the docking station body, a sliding shaft slidably connected inside the lifting groove, the front of the sliding shaft being fixedly connected to the back of the support cover, a sliding groove on the front of the docking station body, a slider slidably connected inside the sliding groove, the front of the slider being fixedly connected to the back of the pressure cover, and a locking frame snapped onto the surface of the support cover. When the support cover and pressure cover are pulled apart in opposite directions, and the product connector is inserted into the connection port, the support cover is released, and the telescopic structure pushes the sliding shaft upward, causing the sliding shaft to move the support cover upward to contact the lower surface of the product connector. Then, the pressure cover is pressed downward, causing anti-slip protrusions to engage with the upper surface of the product connector. Finally, the locking frame is engaged between the pressure cover and the support cover, locking the product connector.

[0007] Furthermore, a telescopic structure is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding shaft, and the bottom end of the telescopic structure is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the lifting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the pressure cover is fixedly connected with anti-slip protrusions.

[0009] Furthermore, the dimensions of the support cover and the pressure cover correspond to each other.

[0010] Furthermore, when the support cover comes into contact with the pressure cover, the locking frame can be positioned between the support cover and the pressure cover and locked in place.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking frame is U-shaped.

[0012] This utility model provides a USB-C multi-functional docking station. It has the following beneficial effects: This USB-C multi-functional docking station, through the cooperation of a support cover, lifting groove, sliding shaft, telescopic structure, locking frame, sliding groove, slider, anti-slip protrusions, and pressure cover, can press the connector head firmly after it is inserted into the interface, thereby preventing loosening or detachment. This solves the problem that the current USB-C multi-functional docking station interface structure is relatively simple, and the connection points are not reinforced after each product is connected to the interface, making it easy for the connector head to loosen or detach.
