具体实施方式
于以下说明中，如有指出请参阅特定附图或是如特定附图所示，其仅是用以强调于后续说明中，所述及的相关内容大部分出现于该特定附图中，但不限制该后续说明中仅可参考所述特定附图。
请一并参阅图1至图4，图1为本发明的固态硬盘外接盒组的示意图，图2为本发明的固态硬盘外接盒组的分解示意图，图3为本发明的固态硬盘外接盒的方块示意图，图4为本发明的固态硬盘外接盒与外部设备、电子装置连接的示意图。
本发明的固态硬盘外接盒组A包含：一固态硬盘外接盒A1及两个固态硬盘(SSD)卡A2、A3。固态硬盘外接盒A1包含一壳体1、一盖体2及一基板3。壳体1内包含一容置空间11。盖体2可拆卸地与壳体1相连接，而使用者可以是通过拆卸盖体2，以使容置空间11外露。
基板3设置有多个多媒体连接器、一外接连接器5、一电源模块6、两个多功能连接器7A、7B、一切换控制器8及一多媒体控制器10。其中两个多媒体连接器为固态硬盘连接器4A、4B，另一个多媒体连接器9例如是SD读卡器，但不以此限。在不同的实施例中，多媒体连接器9也可以是Type-A USB连接器或Type-C USB连接器。在实际应用中，基板3所设置的多个多媒体连接器中，可以是仅包含单一个固态硬盘连接器，或者，可以是包含两个以上的固态硬盘连接器，于此不加以限制，且基板3所设置的多媒体连接器的数量不以图中所示为限，其可依据实际需求加以增减。
两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B位于容置空间11中。两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B用以与两个固态硬盘卡A2、A3相连接，而容置空间11能容置两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B所连接的两个固态硬盘卡A2、A3。
在实际应用中，其中一个固态硬盘连接器4A，例如可以是用以提供具有M.2接口的所述固态硬盘卡A2连接，而另一个固态硬盘连接器4B，则可以是用以提供具有SATA接口的所述固态硬盘卡A3连接。当然，在不同的实施例中，基板3也可以是仅具有单一个固态硬盘连接器，而其可以是能同时支持具有PCIe或SATA的接口的固态硬盘卡连接。关于各个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B所包含的连接接口，不以上述说明为限。
当用户使固态硬盘卡A2、A3的接口，分别与固态硬盘连接器4A、4B相连接，而固态硬盘卡A2、A3位于容置空间11中时，使用者可以使盖体2闭合，以遮蔽容置空间11，据以使固态硬盘卡A2、A3被收藏于壳体1内。需说明的是，于本实施例的附图中，是以两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B彼此并排地设置于基板3为例，但两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B设置于基板3的位置不以图中所示为限。在不同的实施例中，两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B也可以是设置于基板3彼此相反的两侧，当然，壳体1则是对应具有两个容置空间11及两个盖体2。
外接连接器5的一部分外露于壳体1，外接连接器5用以连接一外部设备B，外部设备B例如是各式笔记本电脑、平板计算机等。外接连接器5所连接的外部设备B能存取固态硬盘连接器4A、4B所连接的固态硬盘卡A2、A3内的数据。具体来说，外接连接器5例如可以是Upstream USB-C。于本实施例的附图中，是以外接连接器5为母接口(Female Connector)为例，但不以此为限，在不同的实施例中，外接连接器5也可以是公接头。
电源模块6包含一电源输入连接器61及一供电控制器62。电源输入连接器61的一部分外露于壳体1，电源输入连接器61用以连接一外部电源C(例如是市电或移动电源)，且电源输入连接器61连接切换控制器8及多媒体控制器10，而外部电源C所提供的电力能通过电源输入连接器61供给切换控制器8及多媒体控制器10运作使用。需特别强调的是，在实际应用中，若是电源输入连接器61仅与切换控制器8连接，而未与多媒体控制器10连接，则可能发生多媒体控制器10，因为无法取得足够的电力，而发生无法工作的问题，因此，通过使电源输入连接器61同时连接切换控制器8及多媒体控制器10，可以确保两个都可以正常地工作。
供电控制器62与电源输入连接器61、外接连接器5相连接。供电控制器62用以依据外接连接器5所连接的外部设备B的电力需求，转换电源输入连接器61所连接的外部电源C所提供的电力。多功能连接器7A、7B的一部分外露于壳体1。切换控制器8连接两个多功能连接器7A、7B、电源输入连接器61、多媒体控制器10及外接连接器5。多媒 体控制器10连接多个多媒体连接器(即，两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B及多媒体连接器9)。
当电源输入连接器61与外部电源C连接时，外部电源C将通过电源输入连接器61、供电控制器62及外接连接器5给电至外接连接器5所连接的外部设备B；于此同时，与外接连接器5相连接的外部设备B也可以通过外接连接器5、切换控制器8、多媒体控制器10、固态硬盘连接器4A、4B、多媒体连接器9、多功能连接器7A、7B，存取固态硬盘卡A2、A3中的数据、多媒体连接器9所连接的外部储存装置中的数据及多功能连接器7A、7B所连接的装置中的数据。举例来说，电源输入连接器61可以是USB Type-C(UFP)，而供电控制器62可以是USB PD控制器(Power Delivery Controller)；当电源输入连接器61连接市电或大输出功率的移动电源时，外接连接器5将能以最高100W的电力，对其所连接的外部设备B进行充电。
当电源输入连接器61连接外部电源C，且多功能连接器7A、7B连接能被供电的一电子装置(例如手机、各式具备有充电电池的装置等)时，切换控制器8将使外部电源C通过多功能连接器7A、7B给电至多功能连接器7A、7B所连接的电子装置。如图2至图4所示，举例来说，当外部电源C与电源输入连接器61连接，且多功能连接器7B与能被供电的电子装置D连接时，外部电源C将对电子装置D进行充电。
举例来说，多功能连接器7A例如可以是USB Type-A(DFP)，多功能连接器7B例如可以是USB Type-C(DFP)，切换控制器8可以是USB HUB控制器(USB HUB Controller)；当电源输入连接器61连接市电或移动电源时，多功能连接器7B将能以最高15W的电力对其所连接的电子装置D进行充电。当然，在实际应用中，两个多功能连接器7A、7B也可以是都是USB Type-C。在不同的实施例中，基板3也可以是仅设置有单一个多功能连接器。
当外接连接器5连接外部设备B，电源输入连接器61连接外部电源C，且切换控制器8判定多功能连接器7A、7B连接能被供电的电子装置D时，外部电源C所提供的一部分的电力，将通过供电控制器62及外接连接器5供电给外接连接器5所连接的外部设备B，且外部电源所提供的一部分的电力，将通过切换控制器8及多功能连接器7A、7B，供电给多功能连接器7A、7B所连接的电子装置。也就是说，本发明的固态硬盘外接盒A1的电源输入连接器61连接外部电源C时，外部电源C可以同时对外接连接器5连接的外部设备B及多功能连接器7A、7B所连接电子装置进行充电。
相对地，若是电源输入连接器61连接外部电源C，且外接连接器5未连接外部设备B， 而切换控制器8判定多功能连接器7A、7B连接能被供电的电子装置时，切换控制器8能使外部电源C提供电力至多功能连接器7A、7B所连接的能被供电的电子装置。也就是说，本发明的固态硬盘外接盒A的电源输入连接器61连接外部电源C时，若外接连接器5没有连接外部设备B，则外部电源C仍可以对多功能连接器7A、7B所连接能被供电的电子装置进行充电。
在实际应用中，外接连接器5可以是Type-C USB连接器，多媒体控制器10可以是多媒体USB控制器(Multimedia-USB Bridge Controller)，而多媒体控制器10主要是用来使两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B及多媒体连接器9，能够与外接连接器5进行沟通，即，将两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B的信号、多媒体连接器9的信号转换为外接连接器5可读取的信号，反之亦然。
当切换控制器8判定外接连接器5与外部设备B连接，多媒体控制器10判定固态硬盘连接器4A、4B、多媒体连接器9中的任一个有与外部储存装置(例如固态硬盘卡、SD卡、随身碟等)连接，且切换控制器8判定多功能连接器7A、7B中的任一个有与外部储存装置(例如手机、随身碟、移动硬盘等)连接时，切换控制器8及多媒体控制器10将能依据外部设备B所传递的指令，而使外部设备B能存取固态硬盘连接器4A、4B所连接的固态硬盘卡A2、A3、多媒体连接器9所连接的外部储存装置、多功能连接器7A、7B所连接的电子装置中的数据。
依上所述，如图2至图4所示，举例来说，当使用者使笔记本电脑(即所述外部设备B)通过连接线E与外接连接器5连接，并使两个固态硬盘连接器4A、4B连接两个固态硬盘卡A2、A3，且使多功能连接器7B通过连接线E与手机(即所述电子装置D)连接，而使电源输入连接器61连接移动电源(即所述外部电源C)，并将外部储存装置F1(例如SD卡)、外部储存装置F2(例如随身碟)分别插入多媒体连接器9及多功能连接器7A中时，移动电源将能对笔记本电脑及手机进行充电，且使用者同时可以通过操作笔记本电脑，而存取两个固态硬盘卡A2、A3、SD卡、随身碟及手机中的数据。当然，外部设备B不局限为笔记本电脑，外部设备B也可以是平板计算机等，多功能连接器7A、7B不局限于仅可连接手机、随身碟，多功能连接器7A、7B也可以是连接外接硬盘(或相类似的具有储存功能的装置)、移动电源(或相类似的具有充电需求的装置)等，电源输入连接器61不局限于仅可连接移动电源，电源输入连接器61也可以连接市电。
需强调的是，本发明的固态硬盘外接盒A1可以是独立贩卖、实施及制造，而固态硬 盘外接盒A1不局限于必需与固态硬盘卡A2、A3作为一固态硬盘外接盒组A进行贩卖、实施及制造。
综上所述，本发明的固态硬盘外接盒组A通过固态硬盘连接器4、外接连接器5、电源模块6、多功能连接器7A、7B、切换控制器8、多媒体连接器9及多媒体控制器10等设计，不但可以让外部电源C对外部设备B、电子装置D充电外，还可以让外部设备B存取固态硬盘卡A2、A3、多功能连接器7A、7B及多媒体连接器9所连接的外部储存装置中的数据。为此，使用者在使用仅具有单一个端口的笔记本电脑时，让笔记本电脑与本发明的固态硬盘外接盒组A的外接连接器5相连接，并使电源输入连接器61连接外部电源C后，在存取固态硬盘卡A2、A3中的数据及多功能连接器7A、7B及多媒体连接器9所连接的外部储存装置中的数据的同时，还可以对笔记本电脑进行充电。
综上所述，本发明的固态硬盘外接盒及固态硬盘外接盒组，可以让用户在存取固态硬盘卡的同时，还能对与固态硬盘外接盒连接的至少一个外部设备进行充电，且使用者不但可以存取固态硬盘卡中的数据外，还可以存取插接于固态硬盘外接盒的外部储存装置，为此，让使用者在使用本发明的固态硬盘外接盒及固态硬盘外接盒组时，具有灵活、便利的操作性。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳可行实施例，非因此局限本发明的专利范围，故凡运用本发明说明书及附图内容所做的等效技术变化，均包含于本发明的保护范围内。
