So, the vertical space of putting of horizontal putting has been practiced thrift to setting up support 2 and increasing area of support, making the docking station be difficult to empty, and for through with the base with the docking station support vertical put, support 2 is small, weight lighter, accomodate and carry the docking station lighter and more convenient.

Specifically, a plurality of interfaces 9 are disposed on the housing 1, and may be used for connecting a plurality of expansion devices required by a user, so as to meet simultaneous connection of the plurality of expansion devices, where the interfaces 9 may be any one or any combination of a plurality of USB interface, type-C interface, HDMI interface, DP (DisplayPort, abbreviated as DP, i.e. high definition digital display interface standard) interface, RJ45 interface (REGISTERED JACK, i.e. communication terminal), type PD (Power Delivery, abbreviated as PD, i.e. fast charging standard) interface, and memory card interface.

Here, it should be noted that, the plurality of interfaces 9 are not limited to the listed USB interface, type-C interface, HDMI interface, DP interface, RJ45 interface, type PD interface, and memory card interface, and may be added with other expansion interfaces such as VGA (Video GRAPHICS ARRAY, simply called VGA, i.e. Video graphics array), DVI (Digital Visual Interface, simply called DVI, i.e. digital Video interface) according to actual needs, so as to further improve the application range of the docking station. Of course, the types of the interface 9 may be reduced according to the needs of the user, and may be reasonably adjusted according to the actual needs of the user, which is not limited herein.

In addition, referring to fig. 2, a docking station switch button 10 is further provided on the housing 1 of the docking station for switching the docking station on and off, so that a user can select the starting of the docking station by himself or herself when connecting to the device and the docking device with a connection line, or can switch off the docking station without cutting off the connection, and the connection line is not required to be re-connected next time when the docking device is required to be connected.

When a user uses the docking station in a narrow space, in order to save the transverse placing space of the docking station, the short side of the shell 1 of the docking station is supported at the bottom, the long side extends upwards to be vertically placed, and if only the bottom support of the shell 1 is utilized, the shell 1 is easy to topple over, and equipment connection interruption is easy to cause data transmission interruption or data loss. Therefore, the support 2 is arranged at one or more side edges of the shell 1 of the docking station, the shell 1 is supported by the side surface where the side edge is located, the support 2 supports the shell 1 together, the shell 1 is well prevented from tilting down, the support 2 and the side support shell 1 at the bottom of the shell 1 are placed vertically, the shell 1 can be well supported, more support points exist, the shell 1 is not easy to tilt, the shell 1 is supported by the short side of the shell 1, the long side of the shell 1 extends upwards, the shell 1 forms vertical placement, only occupies less transverse space, utilizes more vertical space, saves the area of the docking station to be placed, meets the requirement of a user for using the docking station in a place with a small space, increases the heat dissipation area of the docking station, is beneficial to heat dissipation of the docking station, and compared with the vertical placement of the docking station through a base, the support of the docking station is small in size, light in weight, easy to carry, and convenient.

It should be noted that the shape of the docking station housing 1 may be set as needed, and may be, for example, a rectangular structure, an elliptical structure, a trapezoidal structure, a cylindrical structure, or the like. Wherein, in the case of a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the aspect ratio of the rectangular parallelepiped structure is usually close to that of a conventional patch board, and when a user with a small placement space of the docking station wants to place the docking station housing 1 vertically, the bracket 2 can be disposed at the shorter side edge of the docking station housing 1, where the brackets 2 can be disposed at both shorter side edges. The support 2 supports the shell 1 to be placed vertically, so that the longest side of the shell 1 extends upwards. At this time, the length of the side edge of the bottom of the housing 1 is smaller than the height of the housing 1 or more.

It should be noted that, the bracket 2 is disposed on a side of the bottom of the housing 1, and may be integrally formed with the housing 1 and the bracket 2, but this is inconvenient to manufacture. The connection of the bracket 2 to the side of the bottom of the housing 1 may also be a fixed connection. The fixed connection means that the connecting pieces cannot move relatively, and the fixed connection comprises a non-detachable fixed connection and a detachable fixed connection. The non-detachable fixed connection can connect the housing 1 and the bracket 2 together by welding, gluing, riveting, interference connection, etc., which is easy to manufacture or install, but the bracket 2 cannot be taken up, and the bracket 2 may be damaged after being detached, will not be installed again, and the docking station with the fixedly connected bracket 2 is not easy to store and carry.

The detachable fixed connection can connect the bracket 2 with the shell 1 in a threaded connection, a key connection, a plug connection, a buckle connection, a pin connection and the like. For example, during the supporting posture, the bracket 2 may be inserted into the bottom side of the housing 1, during the closing posture, the bracket 2 may be detached from the housing 1, and the bracket 2 may be attached to the housing 1 by using a structure such as a slot and a magnet. With the structure, the support 2 of the docking station can be attached to the shell 1 in the closed posture, so that the portability of the movement of the docking station is improved, and the docking station is more convenient to carry and store. However, in this connection, the angle of the docking station supported by the stand 2 is fixed, the docking station cannot be placed at a plurality of angles, and the detached stand 2 is easy to be lost. In addition, some of the detachable fixed connection, for example, may require a tool to assist when the bracket 2 is mounted or dismounted by the threaded connection, so that the user cannot mount or dismount the bracket 2 without the tool, which is inconvenient for the user. In addition, the bracket 2 may be movably connected to the side edge of the bottom of the housing 1.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, the stand 2 is movably connected to the side of the bottom of the housing 1 such that the stand 2 is movable relative to the housing 1 between a supporting position and a closed position in which the stand 2 is attached to the housing 1.

The movable connection means that the movable connection can do relative motion according to a certain motion mode, after the support 2 and the shell 1 do relative motion, the support 2 of the docking station can be attached to the shell 1 when the movable connection is in a closed posture, so that the portability of the movement of the docking station is improved, and the movable connection is convenient to carry and store.

It should be noted that the movable connection may be a sliding connection, a rotating connection, a spring connection, or the like. For example, the side of the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a groove which can completely accommodate the bracket 2 and is parallel to the short side, and sliding structures are arranged on both sides of the groove and the bracket 2, and in the closed posture, the bracket 2 moves towards the direction approaching the housing 1, and the bracket 2 can slide to be completely embedded in the accommodating groove. The support 2 can be parallel to the surface of the shell 1, which is beneficial to storage and carrying, and when in a supporting posture, the support 2 moves outwards from the containing groove 6 to a direction far away from the shell 1, the sliding structure arranged on the support 2 supports the shell 1, but the angle of the support 2 for supporting the shell 1 is fixed.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, the stand 2 and the side of the bottom of the housing 1 are rotatably connected such that the stand 2 is rotatable relative to the housing 1 between a supporting position and a closed position.

Thus, referring to fig. 1, the user can rotate the stand 2 by himself to form a relative angle θ1 between the stand 2 and the housing 1, as shown in fig. 1. The angle of the support 2 supporting the shell 1 can be a plurality of angles, a user can use the docking station in a place with a small space, can vertically place the docking station, can maximize and utilize the vertical space, saves the horizontal placing space, when the docking station is placed vertically, when the user needs to connect a plurality of expansion devices, if connecting wires of the expansion devices are too short or interfaces are too high, corresponding interfaces on the docking station cannot be connected, the relative angle theta 1 of the support 2 and the shell 1 can be changed through rotating connection, wherein the angle theta 1=0-90 DEG enables the angle of the docking station to be changed in the middle of 0-90 DEG, the user can easily connect the expansion devices, in addition, the rotating connection can enable the user to conveniently enable the shell 1 to be switched between a supporting posture and a closing posture, and the support 2 cannot be separated from the shell 1 so as to be difficult to lose.

The stand 2 may be a plate or a stick, and if the stand is a stick, the stand supports the housing 1, and the housing 1 is easily tilted due to a small supporting area. The bracket 2 may be a plate-like object, and the supporting area of the plate-like object bracket 2 is larger.

The rotation of the bracket 2 may be in a plurality of directions with respect to the housing 1, may be in a vertical direction, may be in a horizontal direction, or may be in other directions, but the rotation in the horizontal direction cannot change the angle of the docking station in the middle of 0 ° to 90 °, and the rotation in other directions is not favorable for the stability of the support. The rotation of the bracket 2 relative to the vertical direction of the housing 1 can enable the angle of the bracket 2 for supporting the housing 1 to have an optional range of 0-90 degrees, and enable the housing 1 to be placed in a stable vertical mode.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, 3 and 4, the bracket 2 includes a support plate 21, and the support plate 21 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 through the rotation shaft 3.

Thus, the supporting plate 21 has more supporting points compared with the supporting sticks, the span of the supporting points is large, the supporting area of the supporting shell 1 is larger, and the supporting shell 1 can be better supported, so that the docking station is more stable and is not easy to fall down when supporting the posture. The support plate 21 is rotatably connected with the shell 1 through the rotating shaft 3, the angle theta 1 between the support 2 and the shell 1 is changed at will at 0-90 degrees through the rotating shaft 3, and the rotating shaft 3 is simple in connection structure, few in parts and easy to assemble.

It should be noted that, the shape of the supporting plate 21 may be rectangular, semicircular, trapezoidal, triangular, or irregular, and referring to fig. 5, when the supporting plate 21 is semicircular, a semicircular straight edge is connected to the housing 1, and the semicircular edge is supported on the bottom surface, so that the supporting area is large and attractive.

Referring to fig. 6, when the supporting plate 21 is trapezoidal, the shorter bottom edge of the trapezoid is connected with the housing 1, the longer bottom edge is supported on the bottom surface, and the two supporting points of the long bottom edge of the support have larger span, so that better supporting effect is achieved, the docking station is more stable, and is not easy to topple.

In addition, backup pad 21 is connected through pivot 3 with casing 1, and general pivot 3 is easy to move about, and the relative angle of backup pad 21 and casing 1 is difficult to stable, and the angle of putting of docking station can't be fixed, also emptys easily, and the angle of putting of the common docking station of user 70 ~90, in order to fix the docking station angle, can set up other structure fixed bolster 2.

The support plate 21 is connected with the shell 1 through the rotating shaft 3, in order to support the shell 1, the support is fixed at a preset angle, the support 2 positioning structure can be arranged, in the example, the positioning plate is hinged to one surface of the shell 1, on which the support 2 is arranged, the support 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves for positioning the plate, the positioning plate can be clamped in the positioning grooves, the positioning plate is hinged to the shell 1, the positioning plate is rotatably inserted into different positioning grooves, and corresponding high-low angle adjustment can be obtained, so that the adjustment of the support angle of the docking station by a user is met. However, the structure has excessive parts, is complex to assemble and is not attractive.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and 4, in order to allow the support plate 21 to stably support the housing 1 to maintain a predetermined angle, the rotation shaft 3 may be provided to be interference-fitted with both the support plate 21 and the housing 1 to position the relative positions of the bracket 2 and the housing 1 when rotated to a predetermined position. With the structure, the docking station is in a supporting state, and after the user places the docking station to a preset angle, the angle of the docking station is more stable, and the docking station cannot be easily toppled over. Compared with the fixed angle of the support 2 fixed structure, the interference fit rotating shaft has the advantages of simple structure, fewer parts, easy assembly and more attractive appearance.

The design range of the torsion force generated by the interference fit of the rotating shaft 3 with the supporting plate 21 and the shell 1 is matched with the weight of the docking station, and the weight of the docking station is generally between 500g and 1500g, and the interference fit of the rotating shaft 3 with the supporting plate 21 and the shell 1 is realized by the interference fit of the torsion force generated by the rotating shaft 3 with the supporting plate 21 and the shell 1, wherein the design range of the torsion force is 3kg.cm to 4kg.cm.

In addition, the rotation shaft 3 generally has about 30% loss after 5000 to 10000 times, and generally has about 50% loss after 10000 to 15000 times.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and 4, in order to allow the support plate 21 to stably support the housing 1, to be maintained at a predetermined angle, the rotation shaft 3 connecting the housing 1 and the support plate 21 may be further provided as a damping rotation shaft. By the structure, the docking station can be placed in various angles in a supporting state more stably, is convenient and simple to operate, and is not easy to topple. The damping rotating shaft has the advantages of simple structure, few parts, easy assembly and more attractive appearance.

The torque design range of the damping rotating shaft is matched with the weight of a docking station, and the weight of the docking station is generally 500g to 1500g, and the torque design generated by the rotating shaft 3 is 3kg.cm to 4kg.cm.

The rotation shaft 3 has about 30% loss after 5000 to 10000 times, and about 50% loss after 10000 to 15000 times.

In addition, the length of the side where the support plate 21 is connected to the housing 1 and the length of the side edge of the bottom of the housing 1 may be different, and for example, the side length where the support plate 21 is connected to the housing 1 may be set smaller than the length of the side edge of the bottom of the housing 1, but thus the bottom support area where the support plate 21 is set is smaller, and the docking station is easy to topple in use.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2, 4 and 7, the side edges of the support plate 21 extend to opposite outer edges of the housing 1 along the extension direction of the rotation shaft 3. Thus, the bottom surface fulcrum span of backup pad 21 is big, and the area of backup pad 21 will be bigger, and support casing 1's effect is better, and the docking station is difficult for empting.

In addition, the lower the gravity center of the docking station is, the less easy to topple, so the gravity center of the docking station can be arranged on one side close to the supporting plate 21 or on the bottom surface of the docking station, so the supporting plate 21 can better support the shell 1, and the less easy to topple.

In addition, the longer the length of the bottom supporting surface of the supporting plate 21 is, the larger the area of the supporting plate 21 is, the better the effect of supporting the shell 1 is, and the docking station is less prone to toppling, so that the length of the bottom supporting surface of the supporting plate 21 can be larger than 1/4 of the height of the shell 1 connected with the supporting plate 21. Thus, the bottom surface fulcrum span of backup pad 21 is big, and the area of backup pad 21 will be bigger, and support casing's effect is better, and the docking station is difficult for empting.

In addition, since the support plate 21 has a larger area, the support housing 1 has a better effect, and the docking station is less prone to toppling, we can increase the number of support plates 21 to increase the sum of the areas of the support plates 21.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the bracket 2 may include a plurality of support plates 21, and the plurality of support plates 21 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the rotation shaft 3. In this way, the total support area of the plurality of support plates 21 is increased, and the housing 1 is better supported, so that the docking station is not easy to topple.

For example, two support plates 21 may be disposed at positions near two ends of the side edge of the bottom surface of the housing 1, so that the bottom surface pivot span of the two support plates 21 is large, the total sum of the support areas is increased, the effect of supporting the housing 1 is better, and the docking station is less prone to toppling. In addition, support 2 and casing 1 can direct connection, but support 2 and casing 1 direct connection, can lead to because casing 1 volume has great instrument operating space when having restricted the assembly, increased the assembly degree of difficulty, and casing 1 processing need with pivot 3 and support 2's connecting portion, increased the processing degree of difficulty, and the connecting portion on the casing 1 damages, is difficult to maintain, and casing 1's material selection is limited, and some material strength are unsuitable for with support 2 direct assembly connection.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4 and 7, an adaptor 4 is further provided, the adaptor 4 is disposed between the housing 1 and the bracket 2, the bracket 2 is movably connected with the adaptor 4, and the adaptor 4 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The adapter 4 is smaller in volume than if the bracket 2 were assembled directly with the housing 1. The tool operation space during assembly is abundant, and the assembly difficulty is lower. The connecting part between the adapter 4 and the rotating shaft 3 and the support 2 is easy to process, the connecting part on the adapter 4 is damaged and is easy to maintain, the adapter 4 can be directly replaced, the material selection of the adapter 4 can be quite large, and the adapter can be directly assembled and connected with the support 2 with high material strength.

The adaptor 4 may be fixed on the housing 1 by gluing or screwing, as shown in fig. 4, at least one screw hole 42 is provided on the adaptor 4, the adaptor 4 may be connected on the housing 1 by a screw 5 in a firm fixing manner, and the number of screws 5 may be 1 or more.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the adapter 4 and the bracket 2 are the same shape, size, and dimension. The adapter 4 is connected with the support 2 with the pivot 3, and the example, pivot 3 use the pivot structure of hinge form, pass shaft hole 41 on the adapter 4 and the shaft hole 211 on the support 2 by pivot axle core 31, and the shaft hole 41 on pivot axle core 31 and the adapter 4 and the shaft hole 211 on the support 2 are interference fit, and the diameter of pivot axle core 31 is greater than the internal diameter of shaft hole 41 and shaft hole 211, through the torsion that the diameter area of pivot axle core 31 produced with the area friction of support 2, can make support 2 support casing 1 multiple angle stable the putting.

In addition, since the docking station is a portable mobile device and the stand 2 has a certain thickness, the stand 2 is attached to the housing 1 in a closed posture, but the stand 2 is easily turned and broken during movement, and is not beautiful.

So, the user can put the space more abundant time, lets the docking station transversely put, prevents that support 2 from protruding in the bottom, influences docking station transverse level and places, has improved docking station's stability.

However, when the bracket 2 is completely positioned in the accommodating groove 6 in the closed posture, and the outer side surface of the bracket 2 is flush with the surface of the shell 1, if the bracket 2 needs to be rotated to be in the supporting posture, the operation space is insufficient, and the bracket 2 is not easy to be rotated and opened from the accommodating groove 6 by hands or tools.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, 4 and 7, the housing 1 is provided with a avoidance groove 7, the avoidance groove 7 is disposed at a side edge of the accommodating groove 6 and is communicated with the accommodating groove 6, and a avoidance space of the operation support 2 is reserved. The hand or tool can stretch into the avoidance groove, and the operation support 2 is stirred to be far away from the avoidance groove, so that the structure can facilitate a user to rotate the support 2 from a closed posture to a supporting posture.

For example, the avoidance groove 7 may be disposed on one side of the accommodating groove 6 away from the bottom of the housing 1, or one or more avoidance grooves 7 may be disposed on two adjacent sides of the side away from the bottom of the housing 1.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7 and 8, the housing 1 further includes a stop member 8, where the stop member 8 is disposed at a connection between the housing 1 and the support 2, and when the support 2 moves to a preset position relative to the housing 1, the support 2 abuts against the stop member 8 to prevent the support 2 from moving continuously. One of the stop pieces 8 may be disposed on each of the left and right sides, or one of the stop pieces 8 may be disposed at the junction of the housing 1 and the bracket 2 so as to extend to two opposite outer edges of the housing 1 along the extending direction of the rotating shaft 3. In addition, when the accommodating groove 6 is provided, the stopper piece 8 is provided at the bottom of the accommodating groove 6. By adopting the structure, the support 2 can better support the shell 1 and cannot be rotated to an unsafe placement at a non-preset position or damage the support 2.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 4, the housing 1 includes a front case 11 and a rear case 12, the front case 11 and the rear case 12 being snapped to form the housing 1, and the bracket 2 is disposed at least one side of the rear case 12. With this structure, the docking station can be placed in a closed state with the front housing 11 facing upward and the bottom of the rear housing 12 contacting the table top.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 2 and 3, a plurality of docking ports 9 are located on the front housing 11 of the docking station due to the bottom contact surface required for the rear housing 12 when laterally placed. The number of the transfer ports 9 is large, the size of the docking station is small, or the distribution of the transfer ports 9 is more suitable for the use habit, and the transfer ports 9 can be arranged on the same side. In addition, when the switching port 9 is a small number of expansion ports most commonly used by users, the switching ports can be arranged on the same side, the use frequency is high, and the operation convenience of the users can be improved.

The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present application, and the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art will readily recognize that variations or substitutions are within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
