本申请提供了一种电子设备,以用于缓解迷你PC等计算机设备存在的外接扩展能力有限的问题,以更好地满足用户因使用场景的多样化而存在的多种功能模块扩展需求。接下来将通过多个实施例对本申请的电子设备进行说明。The present application provides an electronic device, which is used to alleviate the problem of limited external expansion capability of computer devices such as mini PCs, so as to better meet the user's various functional module expansion requirements due to the diversification of usage scenarios. Next, the electronic device of the present application will be described through multiple embodiments.

参考图1,是本申请提供的一种电子设备实施例一的结构示意图,如图1所示,本实施例中,所述电子设备,包括:Referring to FIG. 1 , it is a schematic structural diagram of Embodiment 1 of an electronic device provided by the present application. As shown in FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, the electronic device includes:

设备主体1,所述设备主体1包括主机11。A device body 1 , the device body 1 includes a host 11 .

所述电子设备可以是但不限于具有微型主机的迷你PC,或者笔记本电脑等计算机设备。The electronic device may be, but not limited to, a mini PC with a micro host, or a computer device such as a notebook computer.

本申请中所述设备主体1是与下文中的扩展部分(即电子设备的扩展盒2)相对的一个概念,具体是指电子设备中除了扩展部分之外的本体部分。以迷你PC、笔记本电脑等计算机设备为例,所述设备主体1一般可以包括设备主机及显示器等。The main body 1 of the device in this application is a concept opposite to the extension part hereinafter (ie, the extension box 2 of the electronic device), specifically referring to the body part of the electronic device except the extension part. Taking computer equipment such as mini PCs and notebook computers as examples, the main body 1 of the equipment generally includes a host computer and a display.

扩展盒2,独立于所述主机11,包括至少一个与所述主机11相连接的接口21,所述接口21中至少存在一个接口能够适配不同类型的功能模块,所述不同类型的功能模块设置于所述扩展盒2的内部。The extension box 2 is independent of the host 11, and includes at least one interface 21 connected to the host 11, at least one of the interfaces 21 can be adapted to different types of functional modules, and the different types of functional modules It is arranged inside the expansion box 2 .

迷你PC等电子设备的主机为微型主机,体积较小,一般为1L左右,主机内部的结构设计非常紧凑,这就会使得主机的扩展能力有限,很难在主机内部再进行更多功能模块的扩展,鉴于此,本申请采用外接方式对电子设备进行功能模块的扩展。The mainframe of electronic equipment such as mini PC is a micro mainframe, which is small in size, generally about 1L. The internal structure design of the mainframe is very compact, which will make the expansion ability of the mainframe limited, and it is difficult to carry out more functional modules inside the mainframe. Expansion. In view of this, this application uses an external connection method to expand the functional modules of the electronic equipment.

具体地,本申请在电子设备的主机11上外接一独立于所述主机11的扩展盒2,以扩展盒的形式进行电子设备的功能扩展,并将功能扩展时所涉及的一些接口或功能模块等扩展器件均设置在所述扩展盒2中。Specifically, the present application connects an extension box 2 independent of the host 11 to the host 11 of the electronic device, expands the function of the electronic device in the form of an extension box, and expands some interfaces or functional modules involved in the function expansion. and other expansion devices are all set in the expansion box 2.

本实施例中,所述扩展盒2包括至少一个与所述主机11相连接的接口21。其中,设置在扩展盒2中且与主机11相连接的各个接口21,具体用于提供所需扩展的功能模块的接入功能,所需扩展的各功能模块可通过接入所述接口21,来实现与主机11间的信号的连通,各个接口21上所接入的相应功能模块均设置在所述扩展盒2中。In this embodiment, the extension box 2 includes at least one interface 21 connected with the host 11 . Wherein, each interface 21 arranged in the expansion box 2 and connected with the host computer 11 is specifically used to provide the access function of the functional modules that need to be expanded, and each functional module that needs to be expanded can be connected to the interface 21, To realize signal communication with the host computer 11 , the corresponding functional modules connected to each interface 21 are all set in the expansion box 2 .

基于主机扩展接口的负载能力或扩展模块的空间占用等方面的考虑,在采用外接方式进行功能模块的扩展时,能够扩展的接口仍是非常有限的,为了能够基于有限的接口或空间资源更好地满足用户因使用场景的多样化而存在的多种功能模块扩展需求,本实施例提出在扩展盒包括的各个接口21中至少设计一个能够适配不同类型功能模块的接口,即该接口既能够提供第一类型功能模块的接入功能,又能够提供第二或第三等其他类型功能模块的接入功能,从而可通过一个物理接口位(只占用一个接口空间)接入不同类型的功能模块。Based on the consideration of the load capacity of the host expansion interface or the space occupation of the expansion module, when the function module is expanded by external connection, the expandable interface is still very limited. To fully meet the user's various functional module expansion requirements due to the diversification of usage scenarios, this embodiment proposes to design at least one interface that can adapt to different types of functional modules among the various interfaces 21 included in the expansion box, that is, the interface can be It provides the access function of the first type of functional modules, and can also provide the access functions of other types of functional modules such as the second or third, so that different types of functional modules can be accessed through one physical interface bit (only occupying one interface space) .

这里,需要说明的是,通过一个物理接口位接入不同类型的功能模块,是指,可以在不同的时间通过一个物理接口位接入不同类型的功能模块,也即,在同一时间由于仅有一个接口位从而只能接入一个功能模块,不同的功能模块可以在不同时间分享同一个接口,实际应用中,可根据不同场景的不同应用需求,在所述接口上接入配置相应所需的功能模块。Here, it should be noted that accessing different types of functional modules through one physical interface bit means that different types of functional modules can be accessed through one physical interface bit at different times, that is, at the same time because only One interface bit can only be connected to one functional module, and different functional modules can share the same interface at different times. In practical applications, according to different application requirements of different scenarios, corresponding required functions can be configured on the interface. functional module.

根据以上方案可知,本申请采用了外接方式对电子设备进行功能模块扩展,且在采用外接方式对电子设备进行功能模块扩展时,在电子设备主机外接的扩展盒中设置了能够适配不同类型功能模块的至少一个接口,从而应用本申请方案,可基于不同的功能扩展需求,在所述接口上配置相应不同的功能模块,即能够基于较少的物理接口位适配较多的功能模块,更好地满足了用户因使用场景的多样化而存在的多种功能模块扩展需求,进一步缓解了迷你PC等计算机设备存在的外接扩展能力有限的问题。According to the above scheme, it can be seen that this application adopts the external connection method to expand the function modules of the electronic equipment, and when the electronic equipment is extended by the external connection method, the expansion box externally connected to the electronic equipment host is set to be able to adapt to different types of functions. At least one interface of the module, thus applying the solution of this application, different functional modules can be configured on the interface based on different functional expansion requirements, that is, more functional modules can be adapted based on fewer physical interface bits, and more It well satisfies the needs of users for expansion of various functional modules due to the diversification of usage scenarios, and further alleviates the problem of limited external expansion capabilities of computer equipment such as mini PCs.
