Description

Docking station

Technical Field

Background

Docking stations, also known as Docking stations (Docking stations) or Port replicators (Port replicators), are external devices of computers. Such external devices typically have a connector for connection to a computer and a number of identical or different ports (e.g., USB TYPE-A, USB TYPE-C, HDMI, internet ports, etc.). When the number of ports of a terminal, such as a notebook computer, is limited or is not matched, the number of ports is increased through the docking station, so that the terminal can be connected with a plurality of accessories or external devices (such as a power adapter, a network cable, a mouse, an external keyboard, a printer, an external display and the like) at the same time.

With the development of storage technology and the increase of user demands, the existing docking station integrates the connection port structure of the solid state disk and other ports on the PCB together, so that the docking station can load the solid state disk, and has the function of a mobile hard disk.

A docking station with the function of the mobile hard disk is characterized in that a solid state disk is fixed on a hard disk support, and a shell is sleeved on the hard disk support to protect and dissipate heat of the solid state disk. However, the inner diameter of the shell is equal to the outer diameter of the hard disk support, and the shell and the hard disk support are mutually fixed by virtue of friction force between contact surfaces. After long-time use, friction force between the contact surfaces of the shell and the hard disk support is easy to be reduced due to factors such as abrasion, deformation and the like, so that the situation that the shell is separated from the hard disk support is easy to occur, and the service life and safety of the expansion dock are influenced.
