Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of docking station technology, specifically a split-type docking station. Background Technology

[0002] In mobile office scenarios, due to physical space limitations, thin and light laptops generally use multi-functional composite interfaces such as USB-C or Thunderbolt to replace traditional diverse interfaces. As a key accessory, the docking station can expand a single high-speed interface into a complete workstation interface group that includes video output, USB peripherals, wired network and power supply.

[0003] In practical use, existing docking stations fix the data cable connecting to the laptop interface inside the docking station. When the data cable is damaged, it is difficult to replace it later, and the length of the data cable cannot be changed, which makes it impossible to place the docking station in a flexible position and reduces the flexibility of using the docking station. To address this problem, the inventor designed a split-type docking station. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides an embodiment of a split-type expansion dock, which includes an expansion dock body 1, a rotating component 2 and a limiting component 3. The rotating component 2 is disposed on the top of the expansion dock body 1, and the limiting component 3 is located on one side of the rotating component 2.

[0027] The docking station body 1 includes a housing 11 and a connection port 12, with the connection port 12 located on the side of the housing 11 away from the limiting member 3;

[0028] The housing 11 serves as the basic support structure for the docking station, protecting the internal components and accommodating other functional modules. The connection port 12, via a data cable, allows the docking station to be connected to a computer for data transmission.

[0029] The rotating component 2 includes a first connecting plate 24, a connecting post 25, a second connecting plate 26, and a limiting hole 27. The first connecting plate 24 is disposed on the top of the housing 11. The connecting post 25 is fixed between the first connecting plate 24 and the second connecting plate 26. The diameter of the second connecting plate 26 is smaller than the diameter of the first connecting plate 24. The limiting hole 27 is opened inside the first connecting plate 24, and the limiting holes 27 are arranged in a circular array along the center of the first connecting plate 24.

[0030] The first connecting plate 24 supports the rotation of the connecting shaft 23 and serves as the core support plate for winding the data cable. The connecting column 25 provides the axial structure for winding the data cable. The second connecting plate 26 works with the first connecting plate 24 to clamp the cable. The limiting hole 27 and the limiting rod 34 cooperate to fix the position of the cable.

[0031] A fixing tube 21 is fixed in the middle of the upper surface of the housing 11, and a bearing 22 is fixed inside the fixing tube 21;

[0032] The fixed tube 21 provides a mounting base for the bearing 22, which enables the low-friction rotation of the connecting shaft 23.

[0033] The inner ring of the bearing 22 is provided with a connecting shaft 23, and the top surface of the connecting shaft 23 is fixed to the bottom surface of the first connecting plate 24;

[0034] The connecting shaft 23 transmits rotational power, driving the first connecting plate 24 to rotate around the bearing 22;

[0035] The limiting component 3 includes a fixing plate 31, a spring 32, and a limiting post 33; the fixing plate 31 is fixed to the upper surface of the housing 11, the fixing plate 31 is disposed on one side of the first connecting plate 24, the spring 32 is disposed inside the fixing plate 31, and the limiting post 33 is connected through the interior of the fixing plate 31.

[0036] The fixing plate 31 provides a mounting base for the spring 32 and the limiting post 33. The spring 32 provides a reset force, so that the limiting post 33 automatically springs back into the limiting rod 34. The limiting post 33 is used to fix the limiting rod 34 in the required position.

[0037] A limiting rod 34 is inserted into the inside of the fixing plate 31, and the limiting rod 34 vertically penetrates the inside of the first connecting plate 24. The limiting post 33 is horizontally arranged inside the limiting rod 34.

[0038] The limiting rod 34 is used to fix the first connecting plate 24 in the required position, thereby preventing the first connecting plate 24 from rotating automatically;

[0039] A guide plate 35 is fixed to the top surface of the limiting rod 34, and the surface of the guide plate 35 is in contact with the surface of the first connecting plate 24;

[0040] The guide plate 35 facilitates the application of an upward pulling force to the limiting rod 34;

[0041] A guide frame 36 is fixed to the surface of the spring 32 and the limiting post 33, and a limiting groove 37 is opened inside the guide frame 36;

[0042] The guide frame 36 facilitates the application of a pulling force to the limiting rod 34, while the limiting groove 37 facilitates the application of a pulling force to the guide frame 36.

[0043] Working principle: When a damaged data cable needs to be replaced, remove the connectors at both ends of the data cable from the computer and the main body 1 of the expansion dock, respectively. Then, insert the connectors at both ends of the new data cable into the computer and the main body 1 of the expansion dock. Next, wrap the data cable around the outside of the connecting post 25, and apply a rotational force to the second connecting plate 26. Under the action of the bearing 22, the connecting shaft 23 drives the first connecting plate 24 to rotate synchronously, so that the data cable is tightened between the first connecting plate 24 and the second connecting plate 26. Under the guidance of the limiting groove 37, apply a pulling force to the guide frame 36, so that the limiting post 33 is displaced inside the fixing plate 31. Then, insert the limiting rod 34 into the corresponding limiting hole 27, so that the bottom of the limiting rod 34 is inserted into the interior of the fixing plate 31. Then, release the force applied to the guide frame 36. Under the action of the spring 32, the limiting post 33 springs back into the interior of the limiting rod 34.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
