The present invention may be an embodiment implemented in other ways. Moreover, it should be understood that the words and terms used herein are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be interpreted restrictively. The words "include", "comprise", "have" and the like used herein are intended to include the items listed thereafter, their equivalents and other additional items. In particular, when describing "a certain element", the present invention does not limit the number of the element to one, but may also include multiple elements.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a damping connector 10 for connecting two adjacent pipes 20. Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the damping connector 10 includes a rotating shaft 11 and a damping member 12 coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 11 . Two damping members 12 are provided, and the two damping members 12 are mirror-imaged and arranged opposite to each other. The two damping members 12 are detachably connected to the ends of two adjacent pipes 20 , respectively.

[0026] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the adjacent end of the pipe 20 is recessed with a first installation groove 21, and a damping member 12 can be placed in the first installation groove 21 of a pipe 20 and detachably connected to the pipe 20.

[0027] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the damping member 12 includes a connecting seat 12a and a mounting plate 12b which are coaxially sleeved on the rotating shaft 11. A groove a is concavely provided on the surface of the connecting seat 12a. The mounting plate 12b is placed in the groove a and fixedly connected to the connecting seat 12a. The mounting plates 12b of the two mirror-image damping members 12 are opposite to each other, and the connecting seats 12a of the two damping members 12 are respectively placed in the first mounting grooves 21 of the two pipe fittings 20 and are respectively detachably connected to the two pipe fittings 20.

[0028] Preferably, the outer contour of the connection seat 12a is a polygonal structure, and the connection seat 12a of the polygonal structure is circumferentially limited to the end of the pipe 20, that is, circumferentially limited in the first installation groove 21. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the outer contour of the connecting seat 12a is a quadrilateral structure, and adaptively, the first mounting groove 21 is also a quadrilateral structure, so that when a damping member 12 can be placed in the first mounting groove 21 of a pipe 20, the damping member 12 does not rotate relative to the pipe 20, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0029] As an implementation method for realizing the detachable connection between the damping member 12 and the pipe 20, the damping member 12 and the pipe 20 are fastened together by fasteners. Exemplarily, the fasteners are one or more of screws and clips.

[0030] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the damping member 12 and the pipe 20 are fastened by fasteners. The fasteners are screws T1. The connection seat 12a is provided with a hole b for the shaft 11 to be inserted, and the connection seat 12a is also provided with a through hole c for the screw fastener to be connected. The mounting plate 12b is also provided with a through hole c for the screw fastener to be connected, so that the damping connector 10 and the pipe 20 are locked by the screws T1.

[0031] For example, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the damping member 12 is connected to the pipe 20 by snap-fitting. When the damping member 12 is snap-fitting to the pipe 20, a slot d is recessed on the outer wall of the connection seat 12a to match the snap-fitting 32. When connected, the damping member 12 is placed in the first installation groove 21, and the slot d on the outer wall of the connection seat 12a is opposite to the side wall of the third installation groove 23. The block 31 provided with the snap-fitting 32 and the elastic member 33 enters the third installation groove 23 under the elastic extrusion of the elastic member 33. During the entry process, the snap-fitting 32 is snapped into the slot d on the outer wall of the connection seat 12a, thereby realizing the snap-fitting connection.

[0032] Further, based on the structure of the damping connector 10, in order to further improve the connection effect and effectively ensure the stability, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the damping member 12 of the damping connector 10 is magnetic. Preferably, the damping connector 10 also includes a magnetic fixing member 13 axially magnetically connected to the outer sides of the two damping members 12. When connected, the magnetic fixing member 13 is placed in the second mounting groove 22 of the pipe 20, and the top of the magnetic fixing member 13 is magnetically connected to the damping member 12. Exemplarily, the connecting seat 12a of the damping member 12 is made of magnetic material. It should be noted that when the damping member 12 of the damping connector 10 is magnetic, the magnetic fixing member 13 can be used as a part of the damping connector 10. It is also possible that the magnetic fixing member 13 is used as an independent magnetic connecting member to connect the damping connector 10 and the pipe 20. It is also possible that the magnetic fixing member 13 is pre-embedded in the second mounting groove 22 of the pipe 20 as a part of the pipe 20.

[0033] Therefore, solutions in which the damping connector 10 includes the magnetic fixing member 13 and does not include the magnetic fixing member 13 are both within the protection scope of the present application.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] Reference Figure 5As shown, this embodiment provides a bracket assembly 200, including a pipe 20 and the damping connector 10 described in Example 1, wherein the pipe 20 includes at least two adjacent pipes, and the adjacent ends of the pipe 20 are recessed with a first mounting groove 21 for accommodating the damping connector 10. Figure 2 to Figure 4 As shown, the damping connector 10 includes a rotating shaft 11 and a damping member 12 coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 11. Two damping members 12 are provided, and the two damping members 12 are arranged opposite to each other in a mirror image. One damping member 12 can be placed in a first mounting groove 21 of a pipe 20 and can be detachably connected to the pipe 20.

[0036] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the damping member 12 includes a connecting seat 12a and a mounting plate 12b which are coaxially sleeved on the rotating shaft 11. A groove a is concavely provided on the surface of the connecting seat 12a. The mounting plate 12b is placed in the groove a and fixedly connected to the connecting seat 12a. The mounting plates 12b of the two mirror-image damping members 12 are opposite to each other, and the connecting seats 12a of the two damping members 12 are respectively placed in the first mounting grooves 21 of the two pipe fittings 20 and are respectively detachably connected to the two pipe fittings 20.

[0037] Preferably, a single pipe fitting 20 is a straight pipe, a curved pipe or an L-shaped pipe. After the pipe fittings 20 of different shapes are connected through the damping connector 10, they can provide support at a variety of different angles and / or heights. Users can select and assemble according to actual needs to meet the needs of use in multiple scenarios. Moreover, the two pipe fittings 20 are detachably connected through the damping connector 10, so users can complete the disassembly and assembly operations simply and quickly.

[0038] Preferably, the outer contour of the connecting seat 12a is a polygonal structure, and the first mounting groove 21 at the end of the pipe 20 is a polygon that matches the outer contour of the connecting seat 12a, so that when the connecting seat 12a of the polygonal structure is placed in the first mounting groove 21, it is circumferentially limited to the end of the pipe 20, that is, it is circumferentially limited in the first mounting groove 21. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the outer contour of the connecting seat 12a is a quadrilateral structure, and adaptively, the first mounting groove 21 is also a quadrilateral structure, so that when a damping member 12 can be placed in the first mounting groove 21 of a pipe 20, the damping member 12 does not rotate relative to the pipe 20, thereby improving the stability of the connection.

[0039] As an implementation method for realizing the detachable connection between the damping member 12 and the pipe 20, the damping member 12 and the pipe 20 are fastened together by fasteners. Exemplarily, the fasteners are one or more of screws and clips.

[0040] For example, refer to Figure 4As shown, the damping member 12 and the pipe 20 are fastened by a fastener. The fastener is a screw T1. The connection seat 12a is provided with a hole b for the shaft 11 to be inserted, the connection seat 12a is also provided with a through hole c for the fastener to be connected, and the mounting plate 12b is also provided with a through hole c for the fastener to be connected, so that the damping connector 10 and the pipe 20 are locked by the screw T1.

[0041] Preferably, the bracket assembly 200 also includes a sleeve 40, which is sleeved on the end of the pipe 20 to cover the screw hole of the screw T1, thereby preventing liquid from penetrating into the screw hole and causing the screw T1 to rust. At the same time, covering the screw hole can further enhance the overall aesthetic effect.

[0042] For example, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the damping member 12 is connected to the pipe 20 by snap-fitting. When the damping member 12 is snap-fitting to the pipe 20, a slot d cooperating with the snap-fitting 32 is concavely provided on the outer wall of the connecting seat 12a. At the same time, a third mounting slot 23 is concavely provided outwardly on the side wall of the first mounting slot 21 of the pipe 20. The bracket assembly 200 further comprises a block 31 which can be accommodated in the third mounting slot 23. A snap-fitting 32 which can be snapped into the slot d is provided on the inner side wall of the block 31. An elastic member 33 is provided on the outer side wall of the block 31. When connected, the damping member 12 is placed in the first mounting slot 21. The slot d on the outer side wall of the connecting seat 12a is opposite to the side wall of the third mounting slot 23. The block 31 provided with the snap-fitting 32 and the elastic member 33 enters the third mounting slot 23 under the elastic extrusion of the elastic member 33. During the entry process, the snap-fitting 32 is snapped into the slot d on the outer side wall of the connecting seat 12a, thereby realizing the snap-fitting connection. Exemplarily, the elastic member 33 is a V-shaped elastic sheet.

[0043] Further, based on the structure of the damping connector 10, in order to further improve the connection effect and effectively ensure the stability, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the damping member 12 of the damping connector 10 is magnetic. Preferably, the damping connector 10 also includes a magnetic fixing member 13 axially magnetically connected to the outer sides of the two damping members 12. At the same time, a second mounting groove 22 for accommodating the magnetic fixing member 13 is also recessed in the pipe 20. When connected, the magnetic fixing member 13 is placed in the second mounting groove 22, and the top of the magnetic fixing member 13 is magnetically connected to the damping member 12. Exemplarily, the connecting seat 12a of the damping member 12 is made of magnetic material. It should be noted that when the damping member 12 of the damping connector 10 is magnetic, the magnetic fixing member 13 can be used as a part of the damping connector 10. It is also possible that the magnetic fixing member 13 is used as an independent magnetic connector to connect the damping connector 10 and the pipe 20. It is also possible that the magnetic fixing member 13 is pre-embedded in the second mounting groove 22 of the pipe 20 as a part of the pipe 20.

[0044] Therefore, the damping connector 10 including the magnetic fixing member 13 and not including the magnetic fixing member 13 are both within the protection scope of the present application. It is inevitable that, no matter which method, when the damping member 12 of the damping connector 10 is magnetic, a bracket assembly 200 of this embodiment must include the magnetic fixing member 13.

[0047] Exemplarily, the base 50 is a rectangular plate-shaped structure, and the plug-in portion 60 is disposed in the middle of the base 50, so that the top of the bracket assembly 200 can provide stable support on a plane when connected to an external device (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a liquid crystal display, etc.). It should be understood that in other embodiments, the base 50 may also be other shapes.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 As shown, based on the structure of the above-mentioned fixing bracket 300, in order to further improve the fixing convenience of the fixing bracket 300 and expand its application scenarios, the fixing bracket 300 of this embodiment further includes a clamping assembly 70 connected to the base 50, and the clamping assembly 70 is used to clamp and connect with an external device. The external device can be the edge of a plate-like structure, such as a desk, a thin wall, etc.

[0049] Exemplarily, the clamping assembly 70 includes a clamping body 71 having a U-shaped groove, a pressing member 72 and an adjusting nut 73. One of the two opposite sides of the clamping body 71 is connected to the connection base 50, the pressing member 72 is placed between the two opposite sides of the clamping body 71, and the adjusting nut 73 passes through the other side and is connected to the pressing member 72. The adjusting nut 73 is rotated to adjust the distance between the pressing member 72 and the two opposite sides of the clamping body 71. The clamping assembly 70 can be clamped on the edge of a plate-like structure, such as an external device such as a desk or a thin wall.

[0050] Reference Figure 8 As shown, the end of the fixing bracket 300 away from the clamping assembly 70 is connected to the to-be-fixed part A. For example, the to-be-fixed part A may be an electronic product, for example, a mobile phone. It should be noted that the to-be-fixed part is not limited thereto.

[0051] The present invention solves the shaking problem by making a damping structure with adjustable force and applying it to the fixed bracket; the fixed bracket structure can adjust the angle and realize multi-directional rotation and adjustable angle. The fixed bracket can be matched with a variety of connectors and a variety of fixing parts to achieve multi-occasion use; in addition, since the damping structure can adjust the force, it can also be used for fitness after increasing the force; the fixed bracket can be combined with different shapes to meet the problem of people using the fixed bracket in a variety of scenarios, such as: taking pictures, live broadcasting, hanging objects, watching dramas, etc.

[0052] The damping connector, bracket assembly and fixed bracket of the present invention have multiple pipes that are detachably connected through a damping connector. Users can change the angle and height of the connection according to actual usage scenarios. At the same time, the damping connector can maintain the adjusted angle, improve stability and meet the diverse usage needs of users.
