In one embodiment, the surface of the shell body 11 away from the second shell 20 is recessed to form a groove 113 to cooperate with the rubber pad 13.

[0033] See also Figure 3 , the side wall 12 is used to be snap-fitted with the second shell 20. In one embodiment, a snap-fit ​​structure 121 may be provided on the side wall 12 to snap-fit ​​with the second shell 20. In one embodiment, the two sides of the side wall 12 in a direction perpendicular to the direction from the shell body 11 to the side of the mounting frame 900 are respectively broken to form a first opening 122 and a second opening 123, so that when the shell body 11 is snap-fitted with the second shell 20, the functional part 600 is installed at the first opening 122 and the second opening 123. In one embodiment, the side wall 12 is broken between the mounting column 112 and the mounting frame 900 to make way for the mounting frame 900, so that the mounting frame 900 extends into the interior of the handle body 300 and connects with the mounting column 112.

[0034] For the names described above and below, “first opening”, “second opening” and “opening” can be interchanged. For example, “first opening” can also be called “second opening” or “opening”.

[0035] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 The structural diagram of the rubber pad 13 in one embodiment of the present application is disclosed. Figure 6 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the rubber pad 13 in one embodiment of the present application is disclosed. The rubber pad 13 can be placed in the groove 113 so that the surface of the rubber pad 13 away from the shell body 11 is flush with the outer surface of the shell body 11, or has an arc transition. In one embodiment, the rubber pad 13 can be covered on the outer surface of the entire shell body 11.

The first adhesive layer 131, the first flexible layer 132, the second adhesive layer 133 and the second flexible layer 134 are stacked in sequence. The second flexible layer 134 is bonded to the first flexible layer 132 through the second adhesive layer 133, and of course the first flexible layer 132 and the second flexible layer 134 can also be composited together through a thermoplastic molding process. In one embodiment, the edge of the second flexible layer 134 can be extended to one side of the first flexible layer 132 to wrap the edge of the first flexible layer 132, and the first adhesive layer 131 can be provided on the edge of the first flexible layer 132 and the second flexible layer 134, so as to be fixed to the first shell 10 and the third shell 30 through the first adhesive layer 131. In one implementation, the first flexible layer 132 and the second flexible layer 134 can both be made of elastic materials, and the density of the first flexible layer 132 is less than that of the second flexible layer 134, so as to reduce the mass of the adhesive pad 13. For example, the first flexible layer 132 may be foam, and the second flexible layer 134 may be silicone. The first flexible layer 132 and the second flexible layer 134 may also be made of other elastic materials. Of course, the first flexible layer 132 and the second flexible layer 134 may also be made of the same elastic material, but with different densities. The low-density first flexible layer 132 may also enhance the softness of the second flexible layer 134, and enhance the gripping feeling of the user holding the control handle 100. In one embodiment, the first adhesive layer 131 may be omitted, and other methods such as screw fixing and clamping fixing may be used to complete the fixation of the rubber pad to the first shell 10 and the third shell 30.

[0037] For the names described above and below, “first flexible layer”, “second flexible layer” and “flexible layer” can be interchanged. For example, “first flexible layer” can also be called “second flexible layer” or “flexible layer”.

[0038] For the names described above and below, "first adhesive layer", "second adhesive layer" and "adhesive layer" can be interchanged. For example, "first adhesive layer" can also be called "second adhesive layer" or "adhesive layer".

The first telescopic unit 61 is connected to the second telescopic unit 62, the third telescopic unit 63 is connected to the fourth telescopic unit 64, the first telescopic unit 61 and the third telescopic unit 63 may be connected to the handle body 300 respectively, and the second telescopic unit 62 and the fourth telescopic unit 64 may be connected to the clamping member 70. The telescopic frame 60 is telescoped by telescoping each telescopic unit, thereby completing the distance adjustment between the clamping member 70 and the handle body 300.

[0056] For the names described above and below, “first telescopic unit”, “second telescopic unit”, “third telescopic unit”, “fourth telescopic unit”, “telescopic unit” and “telescopic unit” can be interchanged. For example, the “first telescopic unit” can also be called the “second telescopic unit” or the “telescopic unit”.

[0057] In one embodiment, the telescopic frame 900 includes at least one row of telescopic units, and each row includes at least one telescopic unit. The telescopic units in each row are connected in sequence. The telescopic unit closest to the handle body 200 in each row is connected to the handle body 200, and the telescopic unit closest to the clamping member 70 in each row is connected to the clamping member 70. Fig.10 , wherein the telescopic frame 900 includes two rows of telescopic units, with two in each row.

[0058] Below, one of the telescopic units, for example, the first telescopic unit 61 is taken as an example. Fig.11 , which discloses a schematic diagram of the structure of the first telescopic unit 61 in an embodiment of the present application. The first telescopic unit 61 may include a plurality of connecting rods. For example, the first telescopic unit 61 may be formed by connecting the first connecting rod 611, the second connecting rod 612, the third connecting rod 613 and the fourth connecting rod 614 end to end in sequence. Fig.11It can be seen that the first telescopic unit 61 is rhombus-shaped, which is unstable and can change its shape at will to achieve telescopic characteristics, and when stored, the volume can be smaller.

[0059] For the names described above and below, “first connecting rod”, “second connecting rod”, “third connecting rod”, “fourth connecting rod”, “connecting rod” and “connecting rod” can be interchanged. For example, “first connecting rod” can also be called “second connecting rod” or “connecting rod”.

[0060] See also Fig.11 The first connecting rod 611, the second connecting rod 612, the third connecting rod 613 and the fourth connecting rod 614 are pivotally connected end to end in sequence, so that the first telescopic unit 61 has the characteristic of being telescopic in one direction. Fig.12 , which discloses a schematic structural diagram of the first link 611 and the second link 612 connected in one embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the first link 611 and the second link 612 can be connected together through a damping member 65 and a pivot shaft 66. The corresponding first link 611 is provided with a through hole at one end facing the second link 612, and the second link 612 is provided with a through hole at one end facing the first link 611. The pivot shaft 66 can pass through the through hole of the first link 611 and the through hole of the second link 612 in sequence to fix the first link 611 and the second link 612 together. The damping member 65 can be provided between the contacting parts of the first link 611 and the second link 612, and is located around the pivot shaft 66 to increase the maximum rotational static friction between the first link 611 and the second link 612 when the first telescopic unit 61 is telescoped, so that after the mounting frame 900 is installed with the electronic device, the telescopic frame 60 will not cause the electronic device to fall off from the mounting frame 900 under the action of the rotational static friction.

[0061] See also Fig.13 , which is a cross-sectional view of the first connecting rod 611 and the second connecting rod 612 connected in one embodiment of the present application. The damping member 65 can be a damping silicone rubber gasket, which can be made of materials such as filled silicone rubber damping material, silicone rubber-acrylate damping material, polysiloxane-butyl rubber damping material, polysiloxane-EPDM rubber damping material, polysiloxane-polyurethane damping material, etc. The damping member 65 is placed around the pivot shaft 66 and is located between the contact parts of the first connecting rod 611 and the second connecting rod 612. The first connecting rod 611, the damping member 65 and the second connecting rod 612 are pressed and fixed in sequence by the pivot shaft 66, so that when the user adjusts the first telescopic unit 61 to a state, the existence of the damping member 65 can make the first telescopic unit 61 maintain the stability of this state. In one embodiment, at least one damping member may be disposed among the first connecting rod 611 , the second connecting rod 612 , the third connecting rod 613 and the fourth connecting rod 614 , and a damping member 65 may also be disposed between two connected connecting rods.

[0062] See also Fig.14 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 The schematic diagram of the structure of the connection between the first connecting rod 611 and the second connecting rod 612 in another embodiment of the present application is disclosed respectively. Fig.16 Revealed Fig.15 The cross-sectional expansion diagram of the middle dotted line A. The damping member 65 may include a spring 651 and an extrusion block 614. The first connecting rod 611 is recessed around the through hole on one side facing the second connecting rod 612 to form an annular groove 614. The overall shape of the annular groove 614 is annular, and the surface of the first connecting rod 611 in the annular groove 614 facing the second connecting rod 612 is a serrated surface. The annular groove 614 is coaxially arranged with the through hole of the first connecting rod 611 to cooperate with the extrusion block 614. The second connecting rod 612 has a plurality of stop grooves 651 uniformly distributed around the through hole on one side facing the first connecting rod 611 to cooperate with the damping member 65.

[0063] See also Fig.14 and Fig.16 , the extrusion block 614 is placed in the limiting groove 615, the spring 651 is placed in the limiting groove 651, and one end abuts the first connecting rod 611, and the other end abuts the extrusion block 652, so as to squeeze the extrusion block 652 toward the second connecting rod 612. The serrated surface of the first connecting rod 611 abuts against the extrusion block 652, and the surface of the extrusion block 652 facing the serrated surface of the first connecting rod 611 is toothed, so as to mesh with the first connecting rod 611 at the serrated surface of the first connecting rod 611. The extrusion force of the extrusion block 652 by the spring 651 is converted into the extrusion force of the extrusion block 652 and the serrated surface of the first connecting rod 611. When the first connecting rod 611 and the second connecting rod 612 rotate, it is necessary to overcome the resistance of the extrusion block 652 and the serrated surface of the first connecting rod 611. Therefore, the existence of the damping member 65 can make the first telescopic unit 61 maintain stability in this state.

[0064] See also Fig.14 and Fig.16 When the first link 611 and the second link 612 rotate, the teeth on the serrated surface of the first link 611 will press the extrusion block 652, and overcome the elastic force of the spring 651 during the rotation, so that the extrusion block 652 presses the spring 651, and the extrusion block 652 moves to the side of the second link 612. When the extrusion block 652 is not restricted by the serrated surface of the first link 611, the first link 611 and the second link 612 will rotate relative to each other, and then the extrusion block 652 will mesh with a tooth adjacent to the tooth on the current serrated surface of the first link 611, and the rotation and fixation between the first link 611 and the second link 612 are realized in sequence. At the same time, through the meshing of the serrated surface of the first link 611 and the extrusion block 652, the expansion amount of the first telescopic unit 61 can be quantitatively adjusted.

[0065] See also Fig.10 At least one damping member 65 may be provided in each telescopic unit, such as the first telescopic unit 61, the second telescopic unit 62, the third telescopic unit 63 and the fourth telescopic unit 64. The connection between two adjacent telescopic units is also connected in a pivoted manner, and a damping member 65 may also be provided at the pivoted connection.

[0066] In one embodiment, the pivot point may also be disposed in the middle of the connecting rod, that is, the pivot shaft 66 may be disposed in the middle of the connecting rod.

[0067] In one embodiment, the first telescopic unit 61 and the third telescopic unit 63 may be pivotally connected to the mounting column 111 on the first housing 10 . Similarly, the mounting column 111 may be provided with damping members 65 at positions connected to the first telescopic unit 61 and the third telescopic unit 63 , respectively.

[0068] See also Fig.10 The clamping member 70 may include a connecting plate 71 and a first clamping portion 72 and a second clamping portion 73 extending from the connecting plate 71 to one side of the second housing. Specifically, the connecting plate 71 is connected to the telescopic frame 60, such as the second telescopic unit 62 and the fourth telescopic unit 64. In one embodiment, the first clamping portion 72 and the second clamping portion 73 may extend toward each other to form a whole.

[0069] For the names described above and below, "first clamping portion", "second clamping portion" and "clamping portion" can be interchanged. For example, "first clamping portion" can also be called "second clamping portion" or "clamping portion".

[0070] See also Figure 1 , Fig. 9 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig.16 When using the control handle 100, the clamping member 70 can be stretched first to adjust the distance between the clamping member 70 and the second shell 20 so that the electronic device can be placed. Then, the electronic device can be placed on the telescopic frame 900, and then the clamping member 70 can be pushed so that the clamping member 70 clamps the electronic device. Under the action of the damping member 65, the telescopic frame 900 can maintain its current shape, so the clamping member 70 can always be in a state of clamping the electronic device.
