Abstract
An adapter for universal serial bus (USB) interface is used to connect the non-USB storage device or other peripherals to USB PC. It is composed of lower cover, upper cover, PCB with driver IC, a USB socket for connecting USB of PCB, a socket for said storage device or other peripherals, and at least one external connection element.
Description
(1) technical field
The present invention particularly is mounted to the interface breakout box of PC relevant for the external adapter at a kind of USB (universal serial bus) (UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS) (being designated hereinafter simply as USB) interface via USB slot (Port) relevant for a kind of storing media device with non-USB interface (StorageMedium Device).
(2) background technology
Along with the application of various PC is weeded out the old and bring forth the new fast and constantly, the perimeter component of PC particularly storing media device also must be expanded often.For example: the notebook personal computer that will have single groove CD-ROM device (CD ROM Drive) is extended for double flute: i.e. a groove CD-ROM device and a groove compact disc-recordable (CD Writer), and use and carry out double flute record or data backup etc.The storing media device can be for example Hard Disk Drive (Hard Disk Drive), CD-ROM device, compact disc-recordable, DVD CD-ROM device or CF card (COMPACT FLASH Card) read/write machine (Reader/Writer) etc.Yet, owing to be subjected to the restriction of space and original hardware specification, particularly great majority are still only had the notebook personal computer of single groove CD-ROM device, being extended for double flute is not a nothing the matter.
Present PC all can be supported a kind of interface that is called USB (universal serial bus) (USB) so long as completely newly purchase.The technology at USB interface can connect the perimeter component that increases newly to central processing unit, and the perimeter component automatically setting that increases newly is on computer.In addition, the USB interfacial energy is supported many equipment in the mode of continued access: that is first equipment is to connect on computers, second equipment is to be connected on first equipment, the 3rd equipment then is to be connected on second equipment, by that analogy.Therefore, can utilize USB slot on the PC install another storing media device (for example: compact disc-recordable), to reach the purpose that single groove PC is extended for double flute.
Yet, have considerable storing media device still to use non-USB interface, for example interfaces such as IDE, PCI or PCMCIA.Therefore, be starved of the external adapter at development a kind of USB interface, the storing media device of using expediently non-USB interface is mounted on the PC via the USB slot.
But desire is extended for double flute with the PC (as notebook) of single groove, is not a nothing the matter.So can utilize the USB slot of PC to come external another storing media device for example Hard Disk Drive, CD-ROM device, compact disc-recordable, DVD CD-ROM device or CF card read/write machine etc., reach the purpose that single groove PC is extended for double flute.Yet the storing media device still uses for example non-USB interface such as IDE, PCI or PCMCIA mostly.
(3) summary of the invention
Therefore, the external adapter that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of general serial bus interface, using to allow uses the storing media device at non-USB interface to be mounted on the PC via the USB slot easily, storing media device with extendible PC, can allow simultaneously and use other perimeter components at non-USB interface to be able to be mounted on the PC via the USB slot easily, to expand the perimeter component of PC.
According to above-described purpose, the external adapter at USB of the present invention interface comprises at least: lower cover; Loam cake; Printed circuit board (PCB) (Printed Circuit Board) is between lower cover and loam cake; At least one outer connecting element is used fixing external storing media device or other perimeter components between lower cover and loam cake; Be electrically connected to printed circuit board (PCB) and the USB end slot between lower cover and loam cake, use the USB slot that is connected to PC via the USB cable line; Be electrically connected to printed circuit board (PCB) and the external device end slot between lower cover and loam cake, use the signal transmssion line that connects storing media device or other perimeter components; And internal fixation elements, in order to connection and fixed cover, lower cover and printed circuit board (PCB).This printed circuit board (PCB) also comprises drive integrated circult (Drive IC) at least, in order to carry out the interface conversion, non-USB interface is converted to the USB interface.
For further specifying purpose of the present invention, design feature and effect, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to accompanying drawing.
