Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle support frames, and in particular relates to an IPAD support frame with supporting and retracting functions. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of residents' living standards and the development of the automobile industry, family cars are becoming more and more popular, which has also led to the rapid development of upstream and downstream enterprises in the automobile industry, auto parts and other enterprises. In addition, smart phones and smart tablets are increasingly used. Many drivers will use the navigation function of such smart devices during driving, and passengers will also use smart phones or tablets to watch videos while riding in the car.

[0003] As more and more drivers and passengers use smart devices in the car, corresponding vehicle support frames are appearing more and more. However, at present, these vehicle support frames are external devices, which are attached to the car windshield or clamped on the air-conditioning outlet for use. They take up a large space, and when not in use, the rod-like structure will be exposed outside, posing certain safety hazards.

[0004] If there is a hidden, retractable support frame structure set on the vehicle body, the smart device can be pulled out and fixed on the support frame when needed, which can solve some current problems. Therefore, based on this point, the present application further designs and improves the existing vehicle support frame. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is solved by the following technical solutions.

[0007] An IPAD stand with supporting and retractable functions comprises a shell, a support frame retractably arranged in the shell, and a support seat detachably arranged on the support frame. The shell and the support frame are connected by a slide rail mechanism to achieve retractable movement, and a locking mechanism is also provided between the shell and the support frame; a rotatable clamping piece is provided on the support seat, and the clamping piece can be clamped and fixed on the support frame; an assembly part is provided on the support seat, and the assembly part is used to fix external equipment.

[0008] Most of the support frames in the prior art are external structures, which are not beautiful and occupy space in the car. The support frame in the present application has a telescopic function. When not in use, the support base can be removed and pushed into the shell and locked by a locking mechanism, which takes up less space. When it is needed, the support frame is pulled out of the shell and the support base is fixed to the support frame by a clamp. At this time, the assembly parts on the support base can be used to fix external devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, etc., which is convenient to use.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism is a labyrinth lock structure disposed between the housing and the support frame, including a labyrinth lock and a labyrinth column movable in the labyrinth lock. In this structure, the labyrinth lock structure can be locked and unlocked under the action of an external force, such as: the labyrinth lock is disposed on the housing, and the labyrinth column is disposed on the support frame. After the support frame is pushed to the bottom, the labyrinth column on it is inserted into the labyrinth lock to achieve locking; when pulled out, under the action of an external force, the labyrinth column can be pulled out because the labyrinth lock has elasticity.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a matching rack and a damping gear are provided between the housing and the support frame to achieve damped telescopic extension, so that the telescopic process of the support frame feels good.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping member can rotate around the rotating shaft, and the clamping member is connected to an elastic member, and the elastic member enables the clamping member to maintain a clamping posture. In this structure, after the support seat is fixed to the support frame through the clamping member, the elastic member prevents it from falling out easily, and the elastic member can be a tension spring or other mechanism.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the clamping member is provided with a hook-shaped portion for clamping, which is used to hook onto an assembly position on the support frame.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a lever is provided on the outside of the clamping member, and a guide groove is provided on the clamping member, and a guide column on the support seat is placed in the guide groove. In this structure, the setting of the lever is convenient for manual operation. When the support seat needs to be removed, the lever can be moved to make the clamping member rotate to overcome the elastic force and release the clamping state, so that the support seat can be removed; the setting of the guide groove and the guide column makes the guiding property better during rotation.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the support seat is provided with a limit member to prevent the clamping member from excessively rotating.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, two symmetrically arranged clamping members are provided in the support seat, and meshing racks are provided at the positions where the two clamping members contact each other. In this structure, the two clamping members are linked by the arrangement of the meshing racks.

The shell 1 and the support frame 2 realize retractable movement through a slide rail mechanism 11, and a locking mechanism is also provided between the shell 1 and the support frame 2; a rotatable clamping member 52 is provided on the support seat 5, and the clamping member 52 can be clamped and fixed on the support frame 2; an assembly part 4 is provided on the support seat 5, and the assembly part 4 is used to fix external equipment; the shell 1 can be assembled on the interior structure of a car.

[0033] As can be seen from the accompanying drawings, in the present application, the locking mechanism is a labyrinth lock structure disposed between the housing 1 and the support frame 2, including a labyrinth lock 13 and a labyrinth column 12 movable in the labyrinth lock 13. The labyrinth lock structure can be locked and unlocked under the action of an external force. In this embodiment, the labyrinth lock 13 is disposed on the housing 1, and the labyrinth column 12 is disposed on the support frame 2. After the support frame 2 is pushed to the bottom, the labyrinth column 12 thereon is inserted into the labyrinth lock 13 to achieve locking; when pulled out, under the action of an external force, the labyrinth column 12 can be pulled out due to the elasticity of the labyrinth lock 13. In addition, a matching rack 24 and a damping gear 14 are provided between the housing 1 and the support frame 2 to achieve damping telescopic movement, so that the telescopic process of the support frame 2 has a good feel.

[0034] In the embodiment of the present application, the support seat 5 is provided with two symmetrically arranged clamping members 52, and a meshing rack 54 is provided at the position where the two clamping members 52 contact each other, and the two clamping members 52 are linked by the setting of the meshing rack. The clamping member 52 can rotate around the rotating shaft 56, and the clamping member 52 is connected to the elastic member 53, and the elastic member 53 keeps the clamping member 52 in a clamping posture. In this structure, after the support seat is fixed on the support frame by the clamping member 52, the elastic member 53 makes it difficult to fall out, and the elastic member 53 can be a tension spring. In addition, the clamping member 52 is provided with a hook-shaped portion 55 for clamping, which is used to hook on the assembly position on the support frame; the outer side of the clamping member 52 is provided with a dial 57, and the clamping member 52 is provided with a guide groove 521, and the guide column 522 on the support seat 5 is placed in the guide groove 521.
