Supporting structure and docking station using the same

A docking station, comprising:

• a housing;
• a floating cover movably disposed on the housing and partially covers a surface of the housing, wherein the floating cover has a bottom surface;
• at least one trigger disposed on the bottom surface;
• and
• at least one supporting structure disposed on the housing, wherein the at least one supporting structure comprises:
• an elastic member;
• a sliding member having an inclined plane and connected to the elastic member, when the at least one trigger activates the supporting structure, the elastic member receives a force and forces the sliding member to move along a first axis line;
• a lifting element arranged over a travel path of the inclined plane and having an abutting portion, when the sliding member moves, the inclined plane faces toward the lifting element, and when the lifting element receives another force so that the abutting portion abuts against the inclined plane, the sliding member stops moving and a height position of the lifting element is fixed;
• and
• a damper mated with the sliding member to slow down a velocity of the sliding member.

A supporting structure adapted to be arranged on a housing, comprising:

• an elastic member;
• a sliding member having an inclined plane and connected to the elastic member, when the elastic member receives a force, the elastic element forces the sliding member to move along a first axis line;
• a lifting element arranged over a travel path of the inclined plane, wherein the lifting element includes an abutting member having an abutting portion and an elastic component, the elastic component has one end connected to the housing and the other end connected to the abutting member so that the abutting member is capable of moving along a second axis line, and the second axis line is not parallel to the first axis line,
• when the sliding member moves, the inclined plane faces toward the lifting element, and when the lifting element receives another force so that the abutting portion abuts against the inclined plane, the sliding member stops moving and the abutting member is fixed at a height position;
• and
• a damper mated with the sliding member to slow down a velocity of the sliding member.
