[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. Example

[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an expansion dock. This device includes a connecting component 100, a support base 101, a housing 102 disposed outside the support base 101, and an interface 103 embedded in the side wall of the support base 101. The support base 101, the housing 102, and the interface 103 form a basic expansion dock. The positioning component 200 includes a suction cup 201 disposed at the bottom of the support base 101, a cavity 202 opened in the support base 101, an adjustment component 204 that passes through the cavity 202 and is connected to the suction cup 201, and a reset component 205 disposed on the outer shell 102. The positioning component 200 drives the suction cup 201 to generate suction force, thereby positioning the support base 101 on the contact surface where the suction cup 201 generates suction force. The clamping component 300 is disposed in the accommodating space N formed by the support base 101 and the outer shell 102, and the clamping component 300 is connected to the connecting rod 204a of the adjusting component 204.

[0028] Furthermore, multiple positioning components 200 are provided, and the positioning components 200 are arranged in a circular array on the support base 101 and the outer shell 102. The positioning component 200 also includes a baffle plate 203 slidably disposed on the outer shell 102. The baffle plate 203 is initially in a closed state.

[0029] During use, the positioning component 200 drives the suction cup 201 to generate suction, thereby positioning the support base 101 on the contact surface where the suction cup 201 generates suction. At the same time, the clamping component 300 works synchronously to clamp and protect the cable end and the interface 103. In this way, the support base 101 is positioned on the contact surface, and the interface 103 is clamped and protected to prevent the cable from bending. Example

[0030] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the adjusting component 204 includes a cylindrical body 204b disposed on the connecting rod 204a. The cylindrical body 204b is slidably disposed in the cavity 202. A connecting tube 204c is fixedly inserted between the cavity 202 and the suction cup 201. When the connecting rod 204a slides, the cylindrical body 204b slides synchronously. When the cylindrical body 204b slides, a negative pressure is generated in the cavity 202. At this time, a suction force is generated in the connecting tube 204c, which causes the suction cup 201 to have a suction force with the contact surface, thereby positioning the suction cup 201 on the contact surface.

[0031] Furthermore, a piston 204c-1 is provided on the outside of the connecting pipe 204c, and the cylinder 204b is slidably disposed on the outside of the piston 204c-1. The piston 204c-1 and the cylinder 204b are seamlessly connected to prevent the negative pressure generated by the cylinder 204b and the cavity 202 from being neutralized by the external atmospheric pressure.

[0032] Furthermore, the reset assembly 205 includes a telescopic rod 205a disposed on the baffle plate 203. A spring 205b is disposed on the outer side of the telescopic rod 205a. The two ends of the spring 205b are respectively connected to the corresponding surfaces of the baffle plate 203 and the outer shell 102. The telescopic rod 205a guides the spring 205b to prevent the spring 205b from bending when squeezed. The reset assembly 205 drives the baffle plate 203 to reset. When the baffle plate 203 slides, the baffle plate 203 squeezes the telescopic rod 205a, and the telescopic rod 205a is squeezed and contracted. At the same time, the spring 205b on the telescopic rod 205a is also squeezed and contracted.

[0033] During use, when the sliding baffle 203 is extended, the interface 103 on the support base 101 is exposed. When the cable is inserted into the interface 103, the telescopic rod 205a on the baffle 203 is compressed and retracted, and the spring 205b on the telescopic rod 205a is also compressed and retracted. The baffle 203 drives the connecting rod 204a to slide synchronously, and the connecting rod 204a drives the cylinder 204b to slide synchronously. The cylinder 204b slides along the cavity 202 and cooperates with the piston 204c-1, which generates negative pressure in the cavity 202. At this time, suction is generated in the connecting tube 204c, which causes the suction cup 201 to be attracted to the contact surface, thereby positioning the suction cup 201 on the contact surface.

[0034] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1. Example

[0035] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that multiple clamping components 300 are provided, and the clamping components 300 are arranged in a circular array on the outer shell 102. The clamping components 300 are used to clamp and protect the cable end and the interface 103.

[0036] Furthermore, the clamping component 300 includes guide plates 301 respectively disposed on both sides of the blocking plate 203, each of the two guide plates 301 is provided with a push block 302, and the outer shell 102 is provided with a fixing component 303, which guides the blocking plate 203 through the guide plates 301.

[0037] Furthermore, the fixing component 303 includes two clamping blocks 303a that are slidably disposed on the housing 102. Each clamping block 303a is provided with a second actuating block 303b. By combining the two clamping blocks 303a, a frame is formed at the cable and the interface 103 to protect the cable and the interface 103 and prevent the cable from bending.

[0038] Furthermore, the ends of both the first actuating block 302 and the second actuating block 303b are wedge-shaped, and the first actuating block 302 and the second actuating block 303b are adapted to each other. When the blocking plate 203 slides out, the guide plates 301 on both sides of the blocking plate 203 slide synchronously. The first actuating block 302 on the guide plate 301 squeezes the second actuating block 303b. Since the ends of both the first actuating block 302 and the second actuating block 303b are wedge-shaped, the first actuating block 302 drives the second actuating block 303b on both sides of the blocking plate 203 to move towards each other.

[0039] A second spring 304 is provided on the corresponding surface of the outer shell 102 and the clamping block 303a, and the clamping block 303a is reset by the second spring 304.

[0040] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 2.

[0041] Working principle: When the sliding stop plate 203 is extended, the interface 103 on the support base 101 is exposed. Inserting a cable into the interface 103 causes the telescopic rod 205a on the stop plate 203 to be compressed and retracted. Simultaneously, the spring 205b on the telescopic rod 205a is also compressed and retracted. The guide plates 301 on both sides of the stop plate 203 slide synchronously. The first actuating block 302 on the guide plate 301 compresses the second actuating block 303b. Because the ends of both the first actuating block 302 and the second actuating block 303b are wedge-shaped, the first actuating block 302 drives the second actuating blocks 303b on both sides of the stop plate 203 to move towards each other. Through the combination of the two clamping blocks 303a, the cable is inserted into the interface 103. A frame is formed at the cable and interface 103 to protect the cable and interface 103 and prevent the cable from bending. At the same time, the baffle plate 203 drives the connecting rod 204a to slide synchronously, and the connecting rod 204a drives the cylinder 204b to slide synchronously. The cylinder 204b slides along the cavity 202 and cooperates with the piston 204c-1, which creates a negative pressure in the cavity 202. At this time, a suction force is generated in the connecting tube 204c, which causes the suction cup 201 to be attracted to the contact surface, thereby positioning the suction cup 201 on the contact surface. At this time, the cable is inserted into the interface 103, where the corresponding suction cup 201 generates suction. When the cable is pulled out, the suction force of the suction cup 201 disappears.
