本創作涉及擴充裝置，尤其涉及內建有USB C-Type連接器的擴充裝置。This creation relates to expansion devices, and more particularly to expansion devices with built-in USB C-Type connectors.
現今的電腦，例如個人電腦主要係通過各式各樣的連接器來與外界溝通，例如通用序列匯流排(Universal Serial Bus,USB)連接器、外部序列先進技術配置(External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment,eSATA)連接器、火線(Fire wire，或稱為IEEE 1394)及音源連接器(Audio Jack)等。雖然很方便，但是在電腦內部的主板上設置這些連接器，將會佔據主板上相當比率的配置空間。Today's computers, such as personal computers, communicate with the outside world through a variety of connectors, such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors, and External Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (eSATA). ) Connector, FireWire (or IEEE 1394) and Audio Jack (Audio Jack). Although it is convenient, setting these connectors on the motherboard inside the computer will occupy a considerable proportion of the configuration space on the motherboard.
一般來說，主板上能夠分配給連接器使用的空間相當有限，故其上設置的連接器數量及種類通常會受到限制。再者，以個人電腦為例，為了因應主板之設置位置，其連接器通常會設於整台電腦主機之後方，如此一來，使用者於插、拔連接在該些連接器上的外部電子設備(例如USB隨身碟、e-SATA硬碟、耳機及麥克風等)時，將會產生極大的不便。In general, the space that can be allocated to a connector on a motherboard is rather limited, so the number and types of connectors that are placed on it are often limited. Moreover, in the case of a personal computer, in order to respond to the location of the motherboard, the connector is usually placed behind the entire computer host, so that the user plugs in and pulls the external electronics connected to the connectors. Devices such as USB flash drives, e-SATA hard drives, headphones, and microphones can cause great inconvenience.
有鑑於此，即有人提出一種電腦擴充裝置(即，俗稱之前置線)，主要是通過線材的連接，將原本設置在主板上的連接器，延伸設置於電腦主機的前端，以方便使用者直接在電腦主機的前端插接使用，並且減少主板被該些連接器佔據的配置空間。In view of this, some people have proposed a computer expansion device (that is, commonly known as the front line), mainly through the connection of the wire, the connector originally set on the motherboard is extended to the front end of the computer host to facilitate the user. Plug directly in the front of the host computerUse and reduce the configuration space occupied by the motherboard by these connectors.
然而，近年來連接器的種類變化速度相當地快，而各式連接器所能支援的資料傳輸速度以及電力大小亦不斷提昇。因此，如何令所述前置線能夠跟得上連接器的演進，即為本領域的技術人員極欲探討的課題。However, in recent years, the types of connectors have changed at a relatively high speed, and the data transmission speed and power size that various connectors can support have been increasing. Therefore, how to make the front line able to keep up with the evolution of the connector is a subject that is highly sought by those skilled in the art.
本創作的主要目的，在於提供一種具有USB C-Type連接器的擴充裝置，可延伸設置於電腦的機殼前端，並供使用者可直接於電腦的機殼前端插接使用USB C-Type連接器。The main purpose of this creation is to provide an expansion device with a USB C-Type connector that can be extended to the front end of the computer casing and can be directly connected to the front end of the computer casing using a USB C-Type connection. Device.
為了達成上述之目的，本創作主要提供包括一電路板、複數連接器、複數導線及一連接器接頭的一擴充裝置，其中該複數連接器至少包括一USB C-Type連接器。該複數連接器分別電性連接於該電路板上，該複數導線的一端分別電性連接該電路板，另一端分別電性連接該連接器接頭。該擴充裝置主要通過該連接器接頭連接一外部電腦的一主機板，藉此該複數連接器分別通過該複數導線及該連接器接頭與該電腦電性連接。當一USB C-Type連接器公頭插接該擴充裝置上的該USB C-Type連接器時，該USB C-Type連接器公頭後方所連接的一設備即可通過USB C-Type介面與該電腦進行資料與電力傳輸。In order to achieve the above object, the present invention mainly provides an expansion device including a circuit board, a plurality of connectors, a plurality of wires and a connector connector, wherein the plurality of connectors includes at least one USB C-Type connector. The plurality of connectors are electrically connected to the circuit board, and one end of the plurality of wires is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the other end is electrically connected to the connector connector. The expansion device is mainly connected to a motherboard of an external computer through the connector connector, whereby the plurality of connectors are electrically connected to the computer through the plurality of wires and the connector connector. When a USB C-Type connector is plugged into the USB C-Type connector on the expansion device, a device connected to the rear of the USB C-Type connector can pass through the USB C-Type interface. The computer performs data and power transmission.
本創作相較於先前技術所達成之功效在於，可將擴充裝置當作內建於電腦的機殼中的前置線，或是獨立並外接至電腦的擴充設備。電腦可以通過擴充裝置上的USB C-Type連接器，插接具有對應的USB C-Type連接器公頭的設備，如此一來，使用者不會因為需要將USB C-Type連接器公頭彎折延伸至電腦後方以連接電腦主機板上的連接器，而意外損壞結構較小、較為脆弱的USB C-Type連接器公頭。The effect of this creation over the prior art is that the expansion unit can be thought of as a front-line built into the casing of the computer, or as an expansion device that is externally and externally connected to the computer. The computer can be plugged into the device with the corresponding USB C-Type connector male through the USB C-Type connector on the expansion device, so that the user does not need it.To extend the USB C-Type connector male connector to the rear of the computer to connect the connector on the computer motherboard, accidentally damage the smaller, more fragile USB C-Type connector male connector.

該複數導線15通過該對接連接器72與該轉接連接器71電性連接，藉此電性連接該擴充裝置7上的該些連接器12-14。通過該轉接連接器71及該對接連接器72，該擴充裝置7具有該複數導線15可插拔、易於組裝之特性。並且，於另一實施例中，該複數導線15更可以一排線，例如柔性扁平排線(Flex Flat Cable,FFC)來實現(圖中未示)，並不以圖6中所示者為限。並且若以該排線來取代該複數導線15，仍然具備有排線可插拔、易於組裝之特性(一般皆知，該排線的一端具有可插拔之連接器)。The plurality of wires 15 are electrically connected to the adapter connector 71 through the docking connector 72, thereby electrically connecting the connectors 12-14 on the expansion device 7. Through the adapter connector 71 and the docking connector 72, the expansion device 7 has the characteristics that the plurality of wires 15 are pluggable and easy to assemble. Moreover, in another embodiment, the plurality of wires 15 can be realized by a line of wires, such as a flexible flat cable (FFC) (not shown), not as shown in FIG. limit. And if the plurality of wires 15 are replaced by the cable, the cable is still pluggable and easy to assemble (generallyIt is known that one end of the cable has a pluggable connector).
參閱圖7及圖8，圖7為本創作的第四具體實施例的立體組合圖。圖8為本創作的第四具體實施例的使用示意圖。本實施例揭露了第四態樣的擴充裝置8，該擴充裝置8具有與前述該擴充裝置1相同的該電路板11、該複數連接器12、13、14、該複數導線15、該上蓋17與該下蓋18，於此不再贅述。Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, FIG. 7 is a perspective assembled view of a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 is a schematic view showing the use of the fourth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment discloses a fourth embodiment of the expansion device 8 having the same circuit board 11 as the expansion device 1 , the plurality of connectors 12 , 13 , 14 , the plurality of wires 15 , and the upper cover 17 . The lower cover 18 is not described here.
該擴充裝置8與前述的該擴充裝置1的差異在於，該擴充裝置8採用了一USB C-Type連接器公頭81取代上述的該連接器接頭16。本創作中，該USB C-Type連接器公頭81係電性連接該複數導線15的另一端，藉以通過該複數導線15電性連接該電路板11以及該電路板11上的該些連接器12-14。The expansion device 8 differs from the aforementioned expansion device 1 in that the expansion device 8 employs a USB C-Type connector male 81 in place of the connector connector 16 described above. In the present invention, the male connector 81 of the USB C-Type connector is electrically connected to the other end of the plurality of wires 15 , thereby electrically connecting the circuit board 11 and the connectors on the circuit board 11 through the plurality of wires 15 . 12-14.
更具體而言，該電腦3的該主機板32上，可內建有一對應的USB C-Type連接器母頭(圖未標示)。或者，該電腦3可內建有一前置線模組，並且該前置線模組上設置有一USB C-Type連接器母頭(例如為本創作的該擴充裝置1、6、7)。該擴充裝置8可通過其上的該USB C-Type連接器公頭81電性連接該電腦3上對應的USB C-Type連接器母頭，藉以通過USB C-Type介面與該電腦3電性連接並進行超高速的資料傳輸以及大電流/大電壓的電力傳輸。More specifically, a corresponding USB C-Type connector female (not shown) may be built in the motherboard 32 of the computer 3. Alternatively, the computer 3 may have a front line module built therein, and the front line module is provided with a USB C-Type connector female head (for example, the expansion device 1, 6, 7 of the present invention). The expansion device 8 can be electrically connected to the corresponding USB C-Type connector female on the computer 3 through the USB C-Type connector male 81 on the expansion device 8 to communicate with the computer through the USB C-Type interface. Connect and perform ultra-high-speed data transmission and high-current/large-voltage power transmission.
