When interlocked, the upper and lower shells form an "L"-shaped component. An internal cavity is formed within the "L"-shaped component, and an expansion module circuit board assembly 22 is disposed within the cavity. The circuit board assembly 22 is electrically connected to an expansion Type-C interface 221, an HDMI interface 222, an expansion Type-A interface 223, and a PD Type-C interface 224. The expansion Type-C interface 221 penetrates the upper expansion module shell 21 and is located on the upper end of the "L"-shaped component base. The HDMI interface 222, expansion Type-A interface 223, and PD Type-C interface 224 are electrically connected to the upper expansion module shell 21. Type-C interfaces 224 are all located on the back wall of the "L"-shaped component. A fastening tongue 211 perpendicular to the upper surface of the base of the "L"-shaped component is provided on the upper surface of the base.

Then, the data cable connects the base's Type-C interface 132 and the PD Type-C interface 224, providing high-power PD output to the data expansion module 2 through the circuit of the heat dissipation base 1, so as to maintain the stability of the power supply of the data expansion module 2 to the handheld game console, thereby improving the circuit expansion performance and the stability of the device operation. The card reader module 3 can be connected to the base's Type-A interface 134 on the heat dissipation base 1 via the card reader data cable 321 to provide power to the card reader module 3 when it is working. The handheld game console can be connected to the handheld game console's Type-C interface and the base's Type-A interface 134 on the heat dissipation base 1 or the expansion Type-A interface 223 on the data expansion module 2 via the data cable to provide working power to the handheld game console. The HDMI interface 222 is used to connect multimedia devices or external displays.

[0024] In summary: This utility model features a heat dissipation base 1 with multiple built-in cooling fans and a heat dissipation vent 111 located on the upper surface of the heat dissipation base 1. When the handheld game console is connected to the heat dissipation base 1, it can efficiently dissipate heat for the handheld game console.
