[0026] In order to make the above objectives, features and advantages of the present application more clear and comprehensible, specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It can be understood that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] Embodiments of the present application provide a vertical docking station. In embodiments of the present application, the vertical docking station can be placed on a placement surface, such as but not limited to a desktop, a table top, a ground, etc. The vertical docking station can be used to provide expansion ports for a computer to meet the needs of a user.

The vertical docking station can provide expanded ports for the notebook computer, so that the notebook computer can be connected to external devices such as but not limited to a power adapter, a network cable, a mouse, an external keyboard, a printer, and an external display through the vertical docking station.

[0028] Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a perspective structural schematic diagram of a vertical docking station provided by some embodiments of the present application.

[0029] In some embodiments, the vertical docking station 10 can include a host 11 and a plurality of interfaces 12 exposed to the outer surface of the host 11. The host 11 can be internally provided with a plurality of elements connected with the interfaces 12, such as but not limited to a hub, a control chip (MCU), a PD (Power Delivery) chip, etc. The vertical docking station 10 can be connected to a computer and external devices through the plurality of interfaces 12, so that the computer can be connected to a plurality of external devices through the vertical docking station 10. In some application scenarios, the vertical docking station 10 can be placed on a desktop, and the plurality of interfaces 12 of the vertical docking station 10 can be connected to a notebook computer and external devices such as but not limited to one or more external displays, an external keyboard, an external sound box, etc.

[0030] In some embodiments, the host 11 can include a first end 100 and a second end 200 opposite to each other along a first width direction X, and the first width direction X is perpendicular to a height direction Z of the host 11.

[0031] The height direction Z of the host 11 can be defined as a vertical direction of the vertical docking station 10 when placed on a flat placement surface. For example, when the vertical docking station 10 is placed on a flat table top, the height direction Z of the host 11 can be a direction perpendicular to the table top. It can be understood that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in a certain posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the certain posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0032] The first width direction X of the host 11 can be any direction perpendicular to the height direction Z. In some embodiments, the first width direction X can be defined as a certain specific direction of the host 11. For example, in an embodiment where the host 11 is a cuboid, the first width direction X can be a width direction or a thickness direction of the host 11. For another example, in an embodiment where the host 11 is a square, the first width direction X can be a width direction of the host 11. For yet another example, in an embodiment where the host 11 is a cylinder, the first width direction X can be a radial direction of the host 11. Of course, the first width direction X is not limited to the specific directions described above. In addition, the host 11 provided in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to the shapes described above, and the host 11 can also be of other regular or irregular shapes.

[0033] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a top view structural schematic diagram of the vertical docking station in the embodiment of FIG. 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, the area of the orthographic projection of the first end portion 100 in the height direction Z can be greater than the area of the orthographic projection of the second end portion 200 in the height direction Z. The volume of the first end portion 100 can be greater than the volume of the second end portion 200. In the first width direction X, the first end portion 100 can be wider than the second end portion 200. In other words, the orthographic projection length of the first end portion 100 in the height direction can be greater than the orthographic projection length of the second end portion 200 in the height direction.

[0035] The embodiments of the present application can design one end portion of the host 11 to be wider and the other end portion to be narrower in the first width direction X, so that the host 11 is not easy to fall or shift when placed, which is beneficial to improve the placement stability of the vertical docking station 10.

[0036] It should be noted that the first end portion 100 and the second end portion 200 can be defined as follows: with the central axis of the host 11 along the first width direction X as the dividing line, the part of the host 11 on one side is the first end portion 100, and the part of the host 11 on the other side is the second end portion 200. The central axis of the host 11 along the first width direction X can be defined as the first central axis 111. In other words, the first central axis 111 can divide the host 11 into the first end portion 100 and the second end portion 200.

[0037] The first central axis 111 can be specifically defined as follows: in the first width direction X, at the middle position of the host 11, and perpendicular to the first width direction X and the height direction Z, respectively. It can be understood that the central axis of the host 11 along other directions can refer to this definition.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first end portion 100 can be the rear end portion of the host 11, which can be used to face away from the user when the vertical docking station 10 is used. The second end portion 200 can be the front end portion of the host 11, which can be used to face the user when the vertical docking station 10 is used. The present embodiment can improve the stability of the host 11 by designing the host 11 to be narrow in front and wide in back, so as to avoid the phenomenon of the host 11 falling or shifting when the user performs operations such as plugging and unplugging.

[0039] In some embodiments, the weight of the first end portion 100 can be greater than the weight of the second end portion 200, so that the host 11 is not easy to fall or shift when placed. It can be understood that the weight of each region of the host 11 can be controlled by, for example but not limited to, setting counterweight blocks in each region of the host 11, designing the shell thickness of each region of the host 11, using different materials to form the structure of each region of the host 11, and the like.

[0040] It can be understood that the host 11 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is only an example provided by the present application, and the host 11 in other embodiments of the present application can also have other shapes. For example, the first end portion 100 can be partially wider than the second end portion 200, or can be overall wider than the second end portion 200. Those skilled in the art can design the host 11 into various shapes based on the above features.

In some embodiments, the second width direction Y can be perpendicular to the first width direction X and the height direction Z, respectively.

[0043] The third end portion 300 and the fourth end portion 400 can be defined as follows: taking the middle axis of the host 11 along the second width direction Y as a dividing line, the part of the host 11 on one side of the middle axis is the third end portion 300, and the part of the host 11 on the other side of the middle axis is the fourth end portion 400. The middle axis of the host 11 along the second width direction Y can be defined as a second middle axis 112. In other words, the second middle axis 112 can divide the host 11 into the third end portion 300 and the fourth end portion 400. The second middle axis 112 can be specifically defined as follows: in the second width direction Y, the second middle axis 112 is located at the middle position of the host 11 and is perpendicular to the second width direction Y and the height direction Z.

[0044] In some embodiments, the third end portion 300 and the fourth end portion 400 can be as shown in FIG. 3, and the projection areas of the third end portion 300 and the fourth end portion 400 in the height direction Z are symmetrical along the second middle axis 112. The volume of the third end portion 300 can be equal to the volume of the fourth end portion 400. The third end portion 300 and the fourth end portion 400 can have the same width in the second width direction Y.

[0045] Optionally, the third end portion 300 can be the left end portion of the host 11, and the fourth end portion 400 can be the right end portion of the host 11. The host 11 can be designed to have a shape of being narrower in front and wider in back and having the same width on the left and right sides, so as to improve the stability of the host 11 and avoid the host 11 from tilting or shifting when a user performs operations such as plugging or unplugging a cable.

The volume of the third end portion 300 can be greater than the volume of the fourth end portion 400. The third end portion 300 can have a greater width in the second width direction Y than the fourth end portion 400. Of course, other embodiments of the present application can also design the host 11 to have a smaller projection area in the height direction Z than the fourth end portion 400.

[0048] The host 11 can be designed to have a shape of being narrower in front and wider in back and having different widths on the left and right sides, so as to improve the stability of the host 11 and meet the use requirements of the vertical docking station 10 in some specific scenarios.

[0104] The power supply 13 is accommodated in the internal space of the host 11, so that the vertical docking station 10 can realize self-power supply and can be normally used without being equipped with an additional power adapter, which improves the portability of the vertical docking station 10 and is also beneficial to save the desktop space where the vertical docking station 10 is placed, so that the wiring layout of the vertical docking station 10 and the external device is more neat; the vertical docking station 10 can also control the scene with a maximum temperature rise of 52 degrees Celsius to a temperature rise range of 35 degrees Celsius when in use, which is beneficial to improve the user temperature experience.

[0105] The power supply 13 is accommodated in the internal space of the host 11, so that the vertical docking station 10 can realize self-power supply and can be normally used without being equipped with an additional power adapter, which improves the portability of the vertical docking station 10 and is also beneficial to save the desktop space where the vertical docking station 10 is placed, so that the wiring layout of the vertical docking station 10 and the external device is more neat; the vertical docking station 10 can also control the scene with a maximum temperature rise of 52 degrees Celsius to a temperature rise range of 35 degrees Celsius when in use, which is beneficial to improve the user temperature experience.

The bottom of the host 11 can be provided with an accommodating groove 701, and the heat dissipation member 740 can be limited by being embedded in the accommodating groove 701. Of course, the heat dissipation member 740 can also be limited by other ways, for example, by being adhered to the bottom of the host 11 by glue.

[0111] Optionally, the heat dissipation member 740 is a metal block. The metal block itself can dissipate heat, and has a large mass, which can be used as a counterweight to improve the stability of the host 11 when placed. The heat dissipation member 740 can be arranged at the bottom of the host 11, so that the center of gravity position of the host 11 is located at the bottom of the host 11. The power supply 13 can be arranged at the bottom of the host 11 and at the center of gravity position of the host 11. By arranging the heat dissipation member 740 at the bottom of the host 11, the host 11 can form a state of being cold at the bottom and hot at the top, which is conducive to improving the flow efficiency of the air flow through the above-mentioned heat dissipation ports.

[0113] In some embodiments, the host 11 can include a housing 810 and a middle frame 820. The housing 810 can form a receiving space 801. The middle frame 820 can be disposed in the receiving space 801 and divide the receiving space 801 into a first space 802 and a second space 803. In other words, the receiving space 801 can be divided into two spaces by the middle frame 820 as a boundary. The power supply 13 of the vertical dock 10 can be received in the first space 802, and the circuit board 14 can be received in the second space 803. It can be understood that the first space 802 and the second space 803 are not limited to two separate spaces, and the two spaces can be in communication with each other.

[0114] It can be understood that the partial vertical dock 10 shown in FIG. 10 is the structure of the vertical dock 10 shown in FIG. 7 after the housing 810 is removed.

[0115] The housing 810 can have a hollow shape. In some embodiments, the housing 810 can have a hollow structure with four sides. The housing 810 can be used to form the above-mentioned left side 330, right side 340, bottom side 350, and top side 360 of the host 11. The middle frame 820 can be used to form the above-mentioned back side 310 of the host 11. The host 11 can further include a front housing 830, which can be disposed at the front end of the housing 810 to form the above-mentioned front side 320 of the host 11. The front housing 830 can be connected to the middle frame 820, for example, but not limited to, clamped, bonded, and the like. The middle frame 820 can be connected to the inner side of the housing 810, for example, but not limited to, clamped, bonded, and the like. FIG. 15 shows the structure of the vertical dock 10 with the front housing 830 removed.

[0116] In other embodiments, the housing 810 can also have other shapes, for example, the rear end of the housing 810 can be provided with a plate body for forming the back side 310. In other embodiments, the host 11 can also not be provided with the front housing 830, for example, the middle frame 820 is used to form the front side 320.

[0117] The middle frame 820 can include a partition plate 821. The opposite sides of the partition plate 821 are exposed to the first space 802 and the second space 803, respectively. The power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can be located on the opposite sides of the partition plate 821, respectively. The power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can be arranged along the above-mentioned second width direction Y. The power supply 13 can be disposed between the partition plate 821 and the part of the housing 810 for forming the left side 330, and the circuit board 14 can be disposed between the partition plate 821 and the part of the housing 810 for forming the right side 340. Of course, the positions of the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can be exchanged.

[0119] The present application can avoid the heat of the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 from being superimposed in the direction of gravity by arranging the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 in the first space 802 and the second space 802 respectively, which is conducive to improving the heat dissipation capacity of the vertical docking station 10.

[0120] Please refer to FIG. 16, which is a structural schematic diagram of a middle frame provided by some embodiments of the present application.

[0121] In some embodiments, the partition plate 821 can be provided with at least one heat conduction hole 804. The heat conduction hole 804 communicates the first space 802 and the second space 803, and can be used to conduct the hot air in the first space 802 to the second space 803, so as to avoid the accumulation of heat in the first space 802. It can be understood that the power supply 13 generates more heat during operation, and therefore the heat in the first space 802 is more likely to accumulate than the heat in the second space 802. The present application can improve the overall heat dissipation capacity of the vertical docking station 10 by providing the heat conduction hole 804 in the partition plate 821, so that the hot air in the first space 802 can be dissipated by the second space 802, which is conducive to improving the user temperature experience.

[0122] In some embodiments, the heat conduction hole 804 can be provided with a plurality of heat conduction holes 804, and the plurality of heat conduction holes 804 can be distributed at different positions of the partition plate 821. The position, number and size of the heat conduction hole 804 are not limited. For example, the plurality of heat conduction holes 804 can be arranged in an array.

The support plate 822 can be used to improve the strength of the middle frame 820. The support plate 822 can abut against the shell 810, which is used to improve the assembly stability of the middle frame 820. The number and position of the support plate 822 are not specifically limited. For example, the support plate 822 can be arranged at one end of the partition plate 821 to form a T-shaped middle frame 820. For another example, the support plate 822 can be arranged at opposite ends of the partition plate 821 to form an I-shaped middle frame 820. For another example, the partition plate 821 can be rectangular, and the support plate 822 can be arranged at the edges of the four sides of the partition plate 821.

[0124] Optionally, the middle frame 820 can be connected with the outer shell 810 by the support plate 822, for example but not limited to clamping, bonding and the like. The power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can be fixed to the middle frame 820 and assembled into the accommodating space 801 together with the middle frame 820. Specifically, the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can be connected to the partition plate 821 or the support plate 822, for example but not limited to clamping, bonding and the like. Of course, the power supply 13 and the circuit board 14 can also be fixed to the outer shell 810.

[0125] Please refer to FIG. 14 and FIG. 17, FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of partial assembly structure of the vertical docking station provided by some embodiments of the present application.

The heat conduction member 840 can be made of a heat conduction material, and the specific material is not limited herein. Optionally, the heat conduction coefficient of the heat conduction member 840 is not less than 0.8 W / (m·℃), for example 0.8 W / (m·℃), 0.9 W / (m·℃), 1.0 W / (m·℃) and the like. It should be noted that the heat conduction coefficient refers to that under the condition of stable heat transfer, the temperature difference of 1 meter thick material on both sides is 1 degree Celsius (1℃), and the heat transferred through 1 square meter area in 1 second is 1 W / (m·℃). It should be noted that the degree Celsius (℃) in the heat conduction coefficient mentioned herein can also be replaced by Kelvin (K).

[0127] The heat conduction member 840 can be partially located in the first space 802 and partially located in the second space 803, so that when the temperature in the first space 802 is greater than the second space 803, the heat of the part of the heat conduction member 840 located in the first space 820 can be conducted to the part located in the second space 803. The heat conduction member 840 can be in contact with the power supply 13 to conduct the heat of the power supply 13 to the part of the heat conduction member 840 located in the second space 803, and then utilize the air in the second space 803 to dissipate heat.
