Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a flat plate support, specifically a flat plate gyroscope support and its weight-reducing support method. Background Technology
[0002] Gaming on electronic devices has become a daily entertainment activity for most electronic users. Many games utilize the gyroscope function of electronic devices during operation, providing users with an immersive gaming experience, which is very popular. Compared to mobile phones with smaller screens, tablets with larger screens offer a better gaming experience, so more and more users are choosing tablets for gaming. However, due to the large size and weight of tablets, and the need to constantly move and flip them during gameplay, users often experience hand fatigue from holding them for extended periods, affecting the gaming experience. Some players have even developed various illnesses due to prolonged tablet use, such as wrist tenosynovitis and finger and palm deformities. The incidence of these illnesses is particularly high among esports players, and the conditions are often more severe. For this reason, gyroscope holders for electronic devices have emerged, such as the gyroscope holder disclosed in Chinese patent document CN219588663U. It discloses a tablet clamp that holds and fixes a tablet computer, and a puller connected to the tablet clamp. During use, the puller applies an upward pulling force to the tablet clamp. However, in actual use, the force on the tablet clamp varies at different positions, which means that the support force applied by the user to the tablet clamp needs to be constantly changed. If not handled carefully, the tablet clamp may break free at any time. It can be seen that the existing tablet holders have poor performance, so it is necessary to further improve the existing products. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a tablet gyroscope holder and its weight-reducing support method. The tablet gyroscope holder can provide a constant support force for the tablet holder. Although the position of the tablet holder changes, the support force required by the user can remain constant. Furthermore, the tablet holder constructs a three-point dynamic balance system, which allows the edge of the palm to counteract the flipping force of the tablet device, eliminating the need for the fingers to actively exert force to grip the tablet device, reducing the burden on the wrist and fingers, and thus improving the gaming experience.
[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows: A flat panel gyroscope holder includes a flat panel clamp for holding a flat panel device. It also includes a constant force support mechanism that outputs a substantially constant support force to the flat plate clamping frame; The tablet clamp includes a support body for clamping a tablet device and a connecting seat for connecting a constant force support mechanism; hand rests are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the support body; the connecting seat is provided on the back of the support body to form a first fulcrum supporting the support body; the hand rests on both sides are used for the user's palm edge to abut against to form an auxiliary support point relative to the first fulcrum. When the constant force support mechanism outputs the support force to the flat plate clamping frame, the hand rest is configured to receive the abutment force from the edge of the palm and cooperate with the first fulcrum to balance the overturning torque generated by the support body.
[0005] As a specific embodiment, an adjustment component is provided between the connecting seat and the support body. The connecting seat can be adjusted in the vertical direction relative to the flat plate device to its position on the back of the support body. By adjusting the position of the connecting seat, the distance of the first fulcrum relative to the center of gravity of the flat plate device is changed, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the rotation torque of the support body. The end of the support cantilever mechanism is movably connected to the connecting seat through a ball joint, so that the support body can move omnidirectionally relative to the support cantilever mechanism, and the ball joint forms the first fulcrum.
[0006] As another specific solution, the constant force support mechanism includes a constant force traction component and a support arm component; the support arm component is rotatably configured, with one end of the support arm component connected to a connecting seat on the flat plate clamping frame, and the force output end of the constant force traction component connected to the support arm component; the constant traction force output by the constant force traction component acts on the support arm component, causing the support arm component to rotate and output a constant support force to the flat plate clamping frame.
[0007] As another specific solution, the two ends of the support arm assembly are rotatably connected, and the end of the support arm assembly that is not connected to the flat plate clamping frame is connected to the force output end of the constant force traction assembly. Alternatively, the end of the support arm assembly that is not connected to the flat plate clamp can be rotated, and the force output end of the constant force traction assembly can be connected between the two ends of the support arm assembly.
[0008] As another specific solution, the supporting lever arm assembly includes a lever arm body and a movable part; the lever arm body is rotatably configured with a transition point T2, and one end of the lever arm body is connected to a flat plate clamping frame; the movable part is movably configured on the lever arm body, and the force output end of the constant force traction assembly is connected to the movable part with a connection point T1; an adjustment component for adjusting the relative position between the lever arm body and the movable part is provided, and the adjustment component adjusts the lever arm length L between T1 and T2.
[0009] As another specific embodiment, the supporting lever arm assembly includes a turntable and a lever arm body connected to the flat plate clamping frame; the force output end of the constant force traction assembly is connected to the turntable through a flexible traction line, the turntable is rotated, and the lever arm body is connected to the turntable.
[0010] As another specific embodiment, the constant force support mechanism also includes a locking component that restricts the rotation of the turntable; when the locking component is unlocked, the turntable is not restricted from rotation; when the locking component is locked, the turntable is restricted from rotation by a flexible traction line.
[0011] As another specific embodiment, the constant force traction assembly includes one or more springs for outputting a basically constant force, and the force output end of one or more springs is connected to the support arm assembly. Alternatively, two or more springs may be provided, with the force output ends of the two or more springs respectively connected to a force transmission component, and the two or more springs connected to a supporting arm assembly through the force transmission component.
[0012] The spring can also be a spiral spring, a constant force gas spring, or a magnetic constant force mechanism.
[0013] As another specific embodiment, the flat-plate gyroscope bracket further includes a cantilever mechanism that is movably connected to the constant force support mechanism; the cantilever mechanism includes a first linkage arm, a support member, and an elastic connecting assembly connecting the two; the first linkage arm and the support member are provided with a first rotating shaft and a first shaft hole that rotate relative to each other, so that the first linkage arm can rotate relative to the support member; the first linkage arm and the support member are connected through the elastic connecting assembly, so that the first linkage arm has a tendency to elastically return to a set posture relative to the support member.
[0014] As another specific embodiment, the support member includes a second linkage arm, a cantilever fixing assembly, and another set of elastic connection assemblies connecting the two; the first linkage arm is rotatably connected to the second linkage arm in the support member; The second linkage arm and the cantilever fixing assembly are provided with a second rotating shaft and a second shaft hole that rotate with each other, so that the second linkage arm can rotate relative to the cantilever fixing assembly. The second linkage arm is connected to the cantilever fixing assembly through the elastic connection assembly, so that the second linkage arm tends to elastically return to the set posture relative to the cantilever fixing assembly.
[0015] As another specific embodiment, the flat-plate gyroscope bracket further includes a parking mechanism for limiting the swing of the flat-plate clamping frame; the parking mechanism includes a parking base connected to the cantilever mechanism or its mounting base, and a parking support frame disposed on the flat-plate clamping frame; the parking support frame can be detachably connected to or confined on the parking base to limit the free swing of the flat-plate clamping frame.
[0016] A method for reducing the weight of a flat-panel gyroscope bracket, the method comprising the following steps: Step 1, Configure constant force support: Provide the constant force support mechanism, connect it to the flat plate clamping frame, and configure the constant force support mechanism to output a basically constant upward support force to the flat plate clamping frame; Step 2, offsetting part of the gravity: clamp the flat panel device on the flat panel clamping frame, and use the supporting force output by the constant force support mechanism to offset part of the gravity of the flat panel clamping frame and the flat panel device; Step 3, constructing torque balance fulcrum: take the connecting seat on the back of the flat plate clamp as the first fulcrum, and take the two hand rests set at the lower part of the flat plate clamp as auxiliary support points; Step 4, Dynamic Balancing Operation: When the user operates the tablet device to generate a flipping torque relative to the first fulcrum, the hand rest receives the passive resistance force from the edge of the user's palm, and the auxiliary support point generates a reverse torque to balance the flipping torque.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: ① A three-point dynamic balance system is constructed on the tablet holder; the connecting seat and the ball joint of the cantilever mechanism form the first fulcrum (central fulcrum), and the hand rests on both sides form the second and third fulcrums (two auxiliary fulcrums). In actual operation, the cantilever mechanism of the support usually provides an upward support force to the tablet device; since the center of gravity of the tablet device often does not coincide with the position of the first fulcrum (ball joint), a torque (rotation force) is generated that causes the tablet device to rotate around the first fulcrum; existing supports require wrist strength to counteract this torque, which can easily lead to fatigue and related diseases during long-term operation. The hand rest design of this application cleverly utilizes the edge of the palm as the force point, thus forming two auxiliary fulcrums; when the rotation force is generated, the hand rest will automatically press against the edge of the palm, and the passive blocking force of the palm can counteract this rotation force without the need for the fingers to actively exert force to grip the tablet device, thereby greatly reducing the burden on the wrist and fingers and achieving the best feel.
[0018] More importantly, the adjustment component of this application has a torque sensitivity adjustment function; when the user adjusts the connector to be close to the center of gravity of the tablet device ("adjusted to be close to the center position of the tablet device"), the lever arm is shortened, the flipping torque is minimized, and the operation is extremely stable; when the user needs more sensitive feedback or according to personal habits and preferences, the connector can be adjusted to be far away from the center of gravity of the tablet device, the lever arm is increased, thereby changing the feedback force during operation; this kind of mechanical force feedback adjustment is not available in existing electronic brackets.
[0019] ② In the constant force support mechanism, the constant traction force output by the constant force traction component is directly or indirectly applied to the support arm component, and is converted into an upward support force through the rotation of the support arm component, thereby subjecting the tablet clamp to a constant support force. The constant force support mechanism can provide a constant support force for the tablet clamp, and although the position of the tablet clamp changes constantly, the support force required by the user remains constant, thus greatly improving the gaming experience and achieving a weight reduction effect, reducing the burden on the user's hands.
[0020] ③ In the cantilever mechanism, the first linkage arm and the support member together form a movable joint, and are interconnected by elastic connecting components, allowing for relative elastic reset rotation. This elastic reset rotation ultimately transforms into elastic traction force, which acts on the tablet clamping frame. When using the tablet device for gaming, the elastic traction force provides external force to the tablet clamping frame, assisting the player in completing the corresponding directional movement. Guided by this movable joint, the tablet device can move freely on at least one plane, meeting gaming requirements. The support member itself can form another movable joint, and is interconnected by another elastic connecting component, allowing for relative elastic reset rotation. This elastic reset rotation also ultimately transforms into elastic traction force, which acts on the tablet clamping frame. The elastic traction forces of the two movable joints act on the tablet clamping frame, allowing the tablet device to have a wider range of motion and higher flexibility on one plane, basically meeting the movement requirements of different positions within the effective plane range. In the non-use state, each movable joint elastically resets to the retracted state of the cantilever mechanism, preventing the cantilever mechanism from extending and causing collision damage.
[0021] ④ In the parking mechanism, a parking base and a parking support frame work together. When the flatbed clamp is not in use, the flatbed clamp can be stably supported on the parking base through the cooperation of the parking base and the parking support frame. This prevents the flatbed clamp from colliding with the user or surrounding obstacles due to free swinging, and also avoids the flatbed equipment on the flatbed clamp from falling off when it swings or collides. This not only avoids collision safety accidents, but also better protects the flatbed equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0044] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. First Embodiment
[0045] See Figures 1-12 The flat-panel gyroscope bracket involved in this embodiment includes, Flat plate clamp A is used to clamp flat plate device P; The constant force support mechanism B outputs a basically constant support force to the flat plate clamping frame A; The tablet clamp A includes a support body A1 for clamping a tablet device P, and a connecting seat A3 for connecting a constant force support mechanism B. Hand rests A2 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the support body A1. The connecting seat A3 is located on the back of the support body A1 and forms a first fulcrum X1 supporting the support body A1. The hand rests A2 on both sides are used for the user's palm edge to abut against, forming auxiliary support points relative to the first fulcrum X1. The support points include a second fulcrum X2 formed on one hand rest A2 and a third fulcrum X3 formed on the other hand rest A2. The first fulcrum X1 is located above the line connecting the second fulcrum X2 and the third fulcrum X3. When the constant force support mechanism B outputs a substantially constant supporting force to the tablet clamp A, the hand rests A2 are configured to receive the abutment force from the palm edge and cooperate with the first fulcrum X1 to balance the overturning torque generated by the support body A1. In the tablet holder A, a three-point dynamic balance system is constructed. In actual operation, the support arm assembly B4 usually provides an upward support force to the tablet device P. Since the center of gravity O of the tablet device P does not coincide with the position of the first fulcrum X1, a torque is generated that causes the tablet device P to rotate around the first fulcrum X1. The hand support A2 is cleverly designed to use the edges of the two palms as two auxiliary fulcrums (X2, X3). When the rotation force is generated, the hand support A2 will automatically press against the edge of the palm, and the rotation force can be offset by the passive blocking force of the palm, without the need for the fingers to actively exert force to grip the tablet device, thereby greatly reducing the burden on the wrist and fingers and obtaining the best feel.
[0046] This tablet gyroscope holder combines a tablet holder A with a constant force support mechanism B. When the user is playing games on the tablet device P, the three-point dynamic balance system on the tablet holder A greatly reduces the burden on the wrist and fingers by counteracting the rotational force, thus achieving the best feel. The tablet holder A outputs a constant support force, so that even though the position of the tablet holder A is constantly changing, the support force required by the user remains constant, thereby improving the gaming experience and achieving a weight reduction effect, further reducing the burden on the user's hands.
[0047] Furthermore, See Figures 4-7 An adjustment component is provided between the connecting seat A3 and the support body A1. The connecting seat A3 can be adjusted in the vertical direction relative to the tablet device P, relative to the back of the support body A1. By adjusting the position of the connecting seat A3, the distance of the first fulcrum X1 relative to the center of gravity O of the tablet device P is changed, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the rotation torque of the support body A1. The end of the constant force support mechanism B is movably connected to the connecting seat A3 through the ball head B5, allowing the support body A1 to move omnidirectionally relative to the constant force support mechanism B. The ball head B5 forms the first fulcrum X1. This adjustment component has a torque sensitivity adjustment function. When the user adjusts the connecting seat A3 to be close to the center of gravity of the tablet device P ("adjusted to be close to the center position of the tablet device"), the lever arm is shortened, the rotation torque is minimized, and the operation is extremely stable. When the user needs more sensitive feedback or according to personal habits and preferences, the connecting seat can be adjusted to be farther away from the center of gravity of the tablet device, increasing the lever arm, thereby changing the feedback force during operation, giving the player a personalized feel and meeting the needs of different players. This mechanical force feedback adjustment is not available in existing electronic supports.
[0048] See Figure 4 , 67. The adjustment assembly for adjusting the relative position of the connecting seat A3 includes an adjusting screw A5 and an adjusting nut (not shown in the figure). The adjusting nut is threadedly disposed on the adjusting screw A5 and connected to it by threads. The adjusting screw A5 is rotatably disposed on the back side of the bracket body A1. The adjusting nut is fixedly disposed on the connecting seat A3. When the adjusting screw A5 is rotated, the vertical position of the connecting seat A3 relative to the bracket body A1 is adjustable under the action of the threads.
[0049] See Figures 4-7 A movable gap A100 is formed between the bottom of the tablet device P on the support body A1 and the hand rest A2. The movable gap A100 is generally slightly larger than the hand, and the movable gap A100 provides the necessary space for hand movement. When the user holds the tablet device P for use, at least part of the edge of the palm is placed in the movable gap A100, and the edge of the palm is supported on the hand rest A2, thus forming a force fulcrum.
[0050] See Figures 4-7 The support body A1 is provided with a first clamping member A6 located on the upper side and a second clamping member A7 located on the lower side; in this embodiment, the first clamping member A6 (and / or the second clamping member A7) is elastically vertically reset, and the first clamping member A6 and the second clamping member A7 together elastically clamp the flat plate device P.
[0051] Furthermore, See Figures 8-12 The constant force support mechanism B includes a constant force traction component B2 and a support arm component B4. The support arm component B4 is rotatably configured, with one end connected to the connecting seat A3 on the plate clamping frame A. The force output end of the constant force traction component B2 is connected to the support arm component B4. The constant traction force output by the constant force traction component B2 acts on the support arm component B4, causing the support arm component B4 to rotate and output a constant support force to the plate clamping frame A.
[0052] In the constant force support mechanism B, the constant traction force output by the constant force traction component B2 is directly or indirectly applied to the support arm component B4, and is converted into an upward support force through the rotation of the support arm component B4, thereby subjecting the flat plate clamp A to a constant support force.
[0053] See Figures 8-12The supporting arm assembly B4 is bent (such as L-shaped) and rotates between its two ends. The transition point T2 is close to its bend. The end of the supporting arm assembly B4 that is not connected to the plate clamp A is connected to the force output end of the constant force traction assembly B2. The force output end of the constant force traction assembly B2 acts on the supporting arm assembly B4 in a straight pulling manner, causing the supporting arm assembly B4 to rotate and output a constant supporting force to the plate clamp A. If the supporting force is constant at T, the weight of the tablet holder A is constant at G1, and the weight of the tablet device P is constant at G2, and T < G1 + G2, then during the use of the tablet gyroscope bracket, the downward force on the tablet holder A holding the tablet device P is G3, where G3 = G1 + G2 - T. Obviously, G3 is constant and must be less than G1 + G2. Under the constant force support of the constant force support mechanism B, an effective weight reduction effect is achieved. Users only need to use a small force to lift the tablet holder A holding the tablet device P, effectively avoiding the increase of hand burden caused by the presence of the tablet holder A. Moreover, users can move the tablet holder A at will with a constant force, making the user's gaming process more relaxed, and at the same time reducing the probability of causing related diseases (such as: wrist tenosynovitis, finger and palm deformities, etc.).
[0054] See Figure 9 and Figure 12 The constant force traction component B2 includes one or more springs B201 for outputting a basically constant force. The springs B201 can also be components that can output a constant force, such as spiral springs, constant force gas springs, or magnetic constant force mechanisms. The force output ends of one or more springs B201 are connected to the support arm component B4. Among them, the spring B201 is a spring in which the spiral is wound into a planar spiral shape in a plane. One end of the spring B201 is fixed and the other end is the force output end. When the end is pulled, the spiral is subjected to bending torque and produces bending elastic deformation. The spiral elastically returns to its original deformation, thereby generating traction force. The spring B201 used in this embodiment is also known as a "constant force spring". When the spiral in the spring B201 is pulled out, its force can remain basically constant within a large range. This is because its working principle does not rely on the elastic deformation of the material (like ordinary cylindrical springs or torsion springs), but on the torque generated when the spiral bends around the axis. Its force (traction force) mainly comes from the bending stress generated when the spiral is wound. As the spiral is released, the change in its bending radius is cleverly controlled, so that the torque output by the spring B201 remains constant, that is, the output traction force is guaranteed to be constant.
[0055] See Figure 9 and Figure 12In this embodiment, three springs B201 are arranged side by side (more than two springs B201 can be arranged depending on the required traction force). The force output end of each spring B201 is connected to the force transmission component B202, so that each spring B201 is connected to the support arm assembly B4 through the force transmission component B202. By setting the force transmission component B202, the traction force of each spring B201 is applied to the force transmission component B202, and then the force transmission component B202 outputs the force in a unified direction, ensuring that the traction force of each spring B201 is concentrated, thereby ensuring the stable and reliable performance of the constant force traction assembly B2.
[0056] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 The supporting lever arm assembly B4 includes a lever arm body B401 and a movable member B402. The lever arm body B401 is rotatably mounted with a transition point T2, and one end of the lever arm body B401 is connected to the flat plate clamping frame A. The movable member B402 is slidably mounted on the lever arm body B401. The force output end of the constant force traction assembly B2 is connected to the movable member B402 (specifically, the force transmission component B202 is connected to the movable member B402 through the transmission component B203), with a connection point T1. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the lever arm body B401 and the movable member B402 for adjusting their relative positions. The adjustment component for this relative position adjusts the lever arm length L between T1 and T2. Since G3 = G1 + G2 - T, where G1 and G2 are not adjustable, T (support force) can be adjusted to meet the different requirements of different users for G3 (drop force). Therefore, this embodiment provides an adjustment component. By adjusting L, the support force at the end of the support lever arm component B4 (the end connected to the flat plate clamp A) can be adjusted, thereby adapting to the usage habits of different users and to flat plate devices P (and other electronic devices) of different weights / sizes.
[0057] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 The adjusting assembly includes an adjusting bolt B403 and an adjusting nut that are threaded together. The adjusting bolt B403 is rotatably mounted on the lever arm body B401, and the adjusting nut is directly machined onto the movable member B402. When the adjusting bolt B403 is rotated, the position of the movable member B402 relative to the lever arm body B401 is adjustable under the action of the thread. As the movable member B402 moves, the relative position between T1 and T2 changes, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting L. To enable the movable member B402 to move linearly in a set direction, a linearly extending guide groove B405 is provided on the movable member B402, and a guide component B404 is provided on the lever arm body B401. The guide component B404 is slidably disposed within the guide groove B405.
[0058] See Figure 8 and Figure 9The constant force support mechanism B also includes a support base B1, a constant force traction component B2 is disposed on the support base B1, and a support arm component B4 is rotatably connected to the support base B1 through bearing components.
[0059] Furthermore, See Figure 13 and Figure 14 The flat-plate gyroscope bracket also includes a cantilever mechanism C that is movably connected to the constant force support mechanism B; the cantilever mechanism C includes a first linkage arm C1, a support member, and an elastic connecting component C3 connecting the two; the first linkage arm C1 and the support member are provided with a first rotating shaft C101 and a first shaft hole C201 that are mutually rotatably engaged, so that the first linkage arm C1 can rotate relative to the support member; the first linkage arm C1 and the support member are connected by the elastic connecting component C3, so that the first linkage arm C1 has a tendency to elastically return to a set posture relative to the support member. In this cantilever mechanism C, the first linkage arm C1 and the support member together form a movable joint, and are interconnected by an elastic connecting component C3, allowing them to rotate relative to each other elastically. This elastic rotational motion ultimately transforms into an elastic traction force, which acts on the tablet holder A. When using the tablet device P for gaming, the elastic traction force provides an external force to the tablet holder A, assisting the player in completing the corresponding directional movement. Under the guidance of this movable joint, the tablet device P can move freely on at least one plane to meet gaming requirements. In the non-use state, the first linkage arm C1 elastically returns to its retracted state relative to the support member, effectively preventing the first linkage arm C1 from extending outward and causing collision damage.
[0060] See Figure 13 and Figure 15 The support component includes a second linkage arm C2, a cantilever fixing component C4, and another set of elastic connecting components C3 connecting the two. The flat panel gyroscope bracket can be fixedly connected to a desktop, chair, bed, wall, or ground via the cantilever fixing component C4 to meet different usage scenarios. The first linkage arm C1 is rotatably connected to the second linkage arm C2 in the support component. A second rotating shaft C401 and a second shaft hole C202 are provided between the second linkage arm C2 and the cantilever fixing component C4 for mutual rotational engagement, allowing the second linkage arm C2 to rotate relative to the cantilever fixing component C4. The second linkage arm C2 and the cantilever fixing component C4 are connected by the elastic connecting component C3, giving the second linkage arm C2 a tendency to elastically return to a set posture relative to the cantilever fixing component C4. The second linkage arm C2 and the cantilever fixing component C4 together form another movable joint, and are interconnected by another elastic connecting component C3, allowing them to elastically return to their set rotation relative to each other. This elastic return rotation action ultimately becomes an elastic traction force, which acts on the flat panel clamp A.
[0061] In the cantilever mechanism C, the elastic traction force of the two movable joints acts on the flat plate clamping frame A, which makes the flat plate equipment P have a wider range of movement and higher flexibility on a plane, basically meeting the movement needs of different positions within the effective plane range; when not in use, each movable joint elastically resets to restore the cantilever mechanism to the contracted state, avoiding collision damage caused by the cantilever mechanism extending outward.
[0062] See Figure 14 and Figure 15 The elastic connection assembly C3 includes a first bearing component C301 and an elastic component C302. Between the first linkage arm C1 and the second linkage arm C2, the first bearing component C301 is disposed between the first rotating shaft C101 and the first shaft hole C201, making the rotation between the first linkage arm C1 and the second linkage arm C2 smoother and more precise. One elastic end of the elastic component C302 acts on the first linkage arm C1, and the other elastic end acts on the second linkage arm C2. Between the second linkage arm C2 and the cantilever fixing assembly C4, the first bearing component C301 is disposed between the second rotating shaft C401 and the second shaft hole C202. One elastic end of the elastic component C302 acts on the cantilever fixing assembly C4, and the other elastic end acts on the second linkage arm C2. Specifically, the second rotating shaft C401 is fixedly mounted on the cantilever fixing assembly C4, the second shaft hole C202 is opened at the end of the second linkage arm C2, and the second rotating shaft C401 is rotatably inserted into the second shaft hole C202; the elastic member C302 is sleeved on the outside of the first rotating shaft C101.
[0063] See Figure 16 The elastic reset rotation direction of the first linkage arm C1 relative to the second linkage arm C2 is F1, and the elastic reset rotation direction of the second linkage arm C2 relative to the cantilever fixing assembly C4 is F2. F1 and F2 are both clockwise (or counterclockwise). The elastic reset rotation of each joint in the same direction helps the cantilever mechanism to elastically return to the set contraction state along the set trajectory.
[0064] See Figure 13The first linkage arm C1 includes a first linkage seat C102, a second linkage seat C103, a first connecting rod C104, a second connecting rod C105, and a stroke cylinder C106. The first linkage seat C102 is connected to the first rotating shaft C101. One end of the first connecting rod C104 is hinged to the first linkage seat C102, and the other end of the first connecting rod C104 and one end of the stroke cylinder C106 are coaxially hinged to the second linkage seat C103. One end of the second connecting rod C105 and the other end of the stroke cylinder C106 are coaxially hinged to the first linkage seat C102, and the other end of the second connecting rod C105 is hinged to the second linkage seat C103. The two connecting rods are respectively hinged to the two linkage seats to form a rectangular hinge structure. The two ends of the stroke cylinder C106 are respectively hinged to the diagonal hinge points of the rectangular hinge structure to form a stable hinge structure. The user can manually adjust the tilt of the first linkage arm C1, thereby effectively adjusting the height position of the flat plate clamping frame A. The second linkage seat C103 is provided with a second rotating shaft C107, and the end of the constant force support mechanism B is provided with a hinge joint B6. The hinge joint B6 is fixedly assembled on the support base B1. The hinge joint B6 is rotatably connected to the second linkage seat C103 through the second rotating shaft C107. The hinge joint B6 is provided with a second bearing component B7, and the second rotating shaft C107 and the second bearing component B7 are interlocked.
[0065] Furthermore, See Figures 17-19 The tablet gyroscope bracket also includes a docking mechanism to limit the swing of the tablet holder A. The docking mechanism includes a docking base E connected to the cantilever mechanism C (or its mounting base, which is generally understood as connecting to the external environment to which the cantilever mechanism C is attached, such as a desktop, wall, or ground), and a docking support frame A4 mounted on the tablet holder A. The docking support frame A4 can be detachably connected to or confined to the docking base E to limit the free swing of the tablet holder A. By setting the docking base E and the docking support frame A4, when the tablet holder A is not in use, it can be stably supported on the docking base E through the cooperation of the docking base E and the docking support frame A4, preventing the tablet holder A from colliding with the user or surrounding obstacles due to free swing, and avoiding the tablet device P on the tablet holder A from falling off during swing or collision. This avoids collision accidents and better protects the tablet device P.
[0066] See Figure 17 and Figure 18The first type of mooring mechanism includes a mooring pressure block E1 integrally bent at one end of the mooring base E, and a support block A401 integrally bent at the bottom of the mooring support frame A4. The mooring pressure block E1 and the support block A401 are interlocked such that, under the weight of the flat plate clamping frame A, the top of the support block A401 abuts against the bottom of the mooring pressure block E1, and the bottom of the support block A401 abuts against the top of the mooring base E. This interlocking of the mooring pressure block E1 and the support block A401 moors the flat plate clamping frame A on the mooring base E, preventing it from swinging freely.
[0067] See Figure 19 The second type of parking mechanism has a slot E2 integrally bent at the end of the parking base E, and a support block A401 integrally bent at the bottom of the parking support frame A4. The support block A401 is inserted into the slot E2, and after insertion, the bottom of the support block A401 abuts against the top of the parking support frame A4.
[0068] The third type of parking mechanism (not shown in the figure) involves a parking support frame A4 and a parking base E being magnetically connected to each other. This parking mechanism can be combined with the first or second type of parking mechanism.
[0069] Furthermore, the docking base E is adjustablely mounted on the cantilever fixing assembly C4. Specifically, the cantilever fixing assembly C4 is equipped with an adjusting bolt C5, through which the end of the docking base E passes. The cantilever fixing assembly C4 and the adjusting bolt C5 together clamp and fix the docking base E. When the adjusting bolt C5 is loosened, the docking base E can rotate around the through hole, making its position adjustable. By adjusting the position of the docking base E, it can be adapted to the usage habits of different users. This flat-panel gyroscope bracket can be fixed to a mounting base such as a desktop, chair, bed, wall, or floor using the cantilever fixing assembly C4.
[0070] The weight reduction and support method for the flat-panel gyroscope bracket in this embodiment includes the following steps: Step 1, Configure constant force support: Provide a constant force support mechanism B, which is movably connected to the flat plate clamping frame A through ball head B5, and configure the constant force support mechanism B to output a basically constant upward support force to the flat plate clamping frame A; Step 2, offsetting part of the gravity: Clamp the flat device P on the flat device holder A, and use the supporting force output by the constant force support mechanism B to offset part of the gravity of the flat device holder A and the flat device P. Generally speaking, this supporting force is less than the combined gravity of the flat device holder A and the flat device P. However, this relationship can be adjusted according to the actual situation. Step 3, construct the torque balance fulcrum: take the connecting seat A3 on the back of the flat plate clamp A as the first fulcrum X1, and take the two hand rests A2 set at the lower part of the flat plate clamp A as auxiliary support points (the second fulcrum X2 and the third fulcrum X3 respectively). Step 4, Dynamic Balancing Operation: When the user manipulates the tablet device P to generate a flipping torque relative to the first fulcrum X1, the hand rest A2 receives the passive resistance force from the edge of the user's palm and forms a reverse torque through the auxiliary support point to balance the flipping torque. Second Embodiment
[0071] See Figures 20-23 The flat-plate gyroscope bracket involved in this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the constant force support mechanism B includes a constant force traction component B2 capable of outputting a constant traction force, a turntable B406 that converts rotational function into support kinetic energy, and a lever arm body B401 connected to the flat plate clamping frame A; the force output end of the constant force traction component B2 is connected to the action part B407 on the outer circumference of the turntable B406 through a flexible traction line B205, the turntable B406 is positioned and rotated, and the lever arm body B401 is connected to the turntable B406; the traction force of the constant force traction component B2 causes the turntable B406 to reset and rotate, and the reset rotation kinetic energy of the turntable B406 is applied to the flat plate clamping frame A through the lever arm body B401, so that the flat plate clamping frame A is subjected to a constant upward support force.
[0072] Furthermore, See Figures 20-23 The constant force support mechanism B also includes a locking component B3 that restricts the rotation of the turntable B406. When the locking component B3 is unlocked, the turntable B406 is not restricted from rotation. When the locking component B3 is locked, the turntable B406 is restricted from rotation via the flexible traction line B205. During normal use, the locking component B3 is in the unlocked state. When maintenance of the constant force traction component B2 is required (such as replacing / repairing the spring B201), the locking component B3 enters the locked state, and the flexible traction line B205 restricts the rotation of the turntable B406.
[0073] See Figure 22 and Figure 23The locking assembly B3 includes a connector B301 with a lock hole B302 and a locking component B303 with a locking pin B304. The force output end of the spring B201 is connected to the flexible traction line B205 through the connector B301 (the force output end of the spring B201 is connected to the connector B301 through the force transmission component B202). The locking component B303 is movably configured. In the unlocked state, the locking component B303 moves to the first position, and the locking pin B304 disengages from the lock hole B302, so that the traction force output by the constant force traction assembly B2 acts on the turntable B406 through the flexible traction line B205. In the locked state, the locking component B303 moves to the second position, and the locking pin B304 is inserted into the lock hole B302, so that the locking assembly B3 restricts the rotation of the turntable B406 through the flexible traction line B205. During the replacement of the spring B201, it is necessary to first disconnect the connection between the force output end of the constant force traction component B2 and the flexible traction line B205 (i.e., disconnect the connection between the force transmission component B202 and the connector B301). At this time, the traction force output by the constant force traction component B2 will temporarily disappear. If there is no external force, the flat plate clamp A will fall freely under the action of gravity. The lever arm body B401 will simultaneously drive the turntable B406 to rotate instantaneously. This situation may cause the flat plate equipment on the flat plate clamp A to fall, the flat plate clamp A to collide during its fall, or the flexible traction line B205 to detach. Therefore, this embodiment is designed to prevent this. Locking assembly B3 is engaged, and locking component B303 moves to the second position. Locking pin B304 is inserted into lock hole B302, and locking assembly B3 enters the locked state. One end of flexible traction line B205 is fixed through connector B301, thereby braking turntable B406 to prevent it from rotating. Braked turntable B406 effectively prevents flat plate clamp A from falling due to gravity. After replacing spring B201, restoring force transmission component B202 is connected to connector B301, locking component B303 returns to the first position, locking assembly B3 returns to the unlocked state, and constant force support mechanism B works normally.
[0074] See Figure 20 and Figure 21 The turntable B406 is rotatably connected to the support base B1 via bearing components; the support base B1 is provided with one or more steering wheels B204, and the flexible traction line B205 passes around the steering wheel B204 to achieve the steering of the traction force, thus meeting the force steering requirements; the locking assembly B3 also includes a locking base B305, which is fixed on the support base B1, and the locking component B303 is movably disposed within the locking base B305. The locking base B305 guides the locking component B303 to move linearly, and in the locked state, the locking pin B304 extends out of the locking base B305 and is inserted into the lock hole B302.
[0075] Since G3 = G1 + G2 - T, where G1 and G2 are not adjustable, T (supporting force) can be adjusted to meet the different requirements of different users for G3 (downward force). Therefore, the constant force support mechanism B in this embodiment also includes a counterweight (not shown in the figure). The counterweight is set on the lever arm body B401 and its position is adjustable. The counterweight is connected to the lever arm body B401 by magnetic attraction. This connection method is not only convenient to disassemble and assemble, but also allows for quick and easy adjustment of the relative position of the counterweight. When the counterweight is adjusted to be close to the flat plate clamp A, T decreases and G3 increases. When the counterweight is adjusted to be close to the turntable B406, T increases and G3 decreases.
[0076] The other undescribed parts are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be analyzed or explained in detail here. Third Embodiment
[0077] See Figures 24-28 The constant force support mechanism B involved in this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that: the support arm assembly B4 is in the shape of a straight strip (i.e., the arm body B401 is in the shape of a straight strip), one end of the support arm assembly B4 is connected to the flat plate clamping frame A, the end of the support arm assembly B4 not connected to the flat plate clamping frame A is rotatably set, the force output end of the constant force traction assembly B2 is connected between the two ends of the support arm assembly B4, and the force output end of the constant force traction assembly B2 acts on the support arm assembly B4 in a lifting manner.
[0078] Furthermore, There are two possible connection schemes between the constant force traction assembly B2 and the supporting arm assembly B4: Connection scheme one, see Figures 24-27 The constant force traction component B2 is vertically positioned above the support arm component B4. The force output end of the constant force traction component B2 extends downward and connects to the support arm component B4. The force output end of the constant force traction component B2 pulls the support arm component B4 upward, so that the flat plate clamp A is subjected to a constant upward support force. Connection scheme one, see Figure 28 The constant force traction component B2 is laterally positioned above the support arm component B4. The force output end of the constant force traction component B2 extends laterally and connects to the support arm component B4 via a flexible traction line B205. The flexible traction line B205 passes around one or more steering wheels B204. This connection method allows for adjustment of the position of the constant force traction component B2 according to actual product needs, and changes the direction of the force via the steering wheels B204, ensuring that the constant traction force output by the constant force traction component B2 ultimately acts on the support arm component B4 at the set position / direction.
[0079] The other undescribed parts are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be analyzed or explained in detail here.
