Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electronic accessories, specifically a desktop multi-functional extension product. Background Technology

[0002] In existing office and home environments, desktop speakers, desktop cameras, computer and mobile phone chargers, USB hubs, HDMI video interfaces, and AI voice assistants are common electronic devices. These devices combine to create multi-functional products. While each device has its own purpose, in practical applications, due to their independent design, they need to be placed separately on the desktop, resulting in a significant amount of desktop space being occupied. This is especially true in office environments, where limited desktop space is consumed by multiple devices, severely impacting desktop tidiness and work efficiency.

[0003] For example, a typical office desktop may need to accommodate speakers, cameras, multiple chargers, a USB hub, HDMI video interface devices, and AI voice assistant devices, making the desktop appear cluttered.

[0004] Secondly, since each device has its own connection cable, the cables are prone to getting tangled during use, which not only affects the appearance, but may also cause damage or poor contact during pulling, thus increasing maintenance costs.

[0005] Furthermore, the connection interface standards of different devices are inconsistent, requiring users to prepare various adapters or connectors for proper use. This not only increases user costs but also complicates the device connection process. Moreover, due to the limited functionality of each device, users need to frequently switch between them, making the operation complex. For example, when conducting video conferencing, users need to connect a camera, speakers, a USB hub, an HDMI video interface device, and an AI voice assistant device separately, resulting in cumbersome steps and impacting the user experience.

[0006] Based on the above description, existing devices such as desktop speakers, desktop cameras, computer and mobile phone chargers, USB hubs, HDMI video interfaces, and AI voice assistants, while having clearly defined functions, present numerous inconveniences in practical use. These include large space requirements, messy cables, interface compatibility issues, low efficiency, high maintenance costs, and a lack of intelligent interactive functions. These problems severely impact user experience and work efficiency, urgently requiring a new technological solution to address these issues. Utility Model Content
