Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of 3C accessories technology, and in particular to a car air vent mounting bracket and a mobile phone holder. Background Technology
[0002] When driving, people often use their mobile phones for navigation. During this process, a phone holder is needed to hold the phone securely. Car air vents have internal and external blades for adjusting the airflow direction. Phone holders typically use their included air vent mounting bracket to clamp onto the external blades of the car's air conditioning vent, thus securing the phone to the vent.
[0003] Some automotive air conditioning vent clips on the market use barbs to hold the vent in place. The vent mounting bracket is fixed by adjusting the position of the barbs and connecting them to the outer blades of the vent. However, this type of clip often requires aligning it with the vent blades and then slowly tightening it while maintaining that alignment. Due to the gap between the blades, the barbs are usually quite small, making them difficult to control once inside the blades. This often results in failure because the barbs are not aligned properly. Furthermore, during disassembly, the clips may not completely avoid the blades, making them difficult to remove.
[0004] Some air vent clips that can hide the barbs have appeared on the market, but the current models are still cumbersome for users to disassemble, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a car air vent mounting bracket and mobile phone holder that can quickly store barbs, which can reduce the length of the driven rod and the active rod left in the air vent, minimize interference with the internal blades, and facilitate disassembly and use.
[0006] This invention discloses an automotive air vent mounting bracket, comprising a main body, a driven rod, a driving rod, a rotating hook, and a manual actuator; the driven rod, driving rod, and manual actuator are directly or indirectly mounted on the main body, the rotating hook is mounted on the driving rod and / or the driven rod and can rotate relative to the driving rod, the driven rod and the driving rod can extend or retract relative to the main body, and the manual actuator is connected to the driving rod to drive the driving rod to extend or retract.
[0007] When the manual actuator drives the active rod to retract, the rotating hook flips and stands up. When the active rod continues to retract, the driven rod also retracts. When the manual actuator drives the active rod to extend outward, the rotating hook flips and retracts in the opposite direction. When the active rod continues to extend outward, the driven rod also extends outward. The flipping hook can be erected and retracted at least two different locations away from the main body.
[0008] Optionally, the driven rod or the driving rod is provided with a storage space for hiding the rotating hook.
[0009] Optionally, when the rotating hook is raised and lowered, part or all of the rotating hook is hidden in the storage space.
[0010] Optionally, the driven rod and the rotating hook are embedded in the driving rod.
[0011] Optionally, a support portion is provided on the main body; the support portion is fixedly connected to the main body or detachably connected to it.
[0012] Optionally, a blocking mechanism is provided between the driven rod and the main body, which provides resistance to the driven rod when it extends or retracts.
[0013] Optionally, the braking mechanism includes a damping part and an elastic part; the elastic part is connected to the damping part, and the damping part presses against the driven rod to generate resistance.
[0014] Optionally, the damping part and the driven rod are provided with mutually pressing concave and convex parts.
[0015] Optionally, a limiting element is provided on the main body, and the limiting element is arranged opposite to the driven rod.

[0017] In this invention, the rotating hook of the automotive air vent mounting bracket is in active contact with the driven rod and the driving rod. When the manual actuator drives the driving rod to retract, the rotating hook quickly stands up. As the driving rod continues to retract, the driven rod also retracts. When the driving rod extends, the rotating hook quickly rotates and retracts. As the driving rod continues to extend, the driven rod also extends. This structure allows the rotating hook to quickly stand up or retract, with a short driving distance, facilitating assembly and disassembly. Attached Figure Description

[0033] It should be understood that the terminology, specific structural and functional details used herein are merely for describing particular embodiments and are representative. However, the invention can be implemented in many alternative forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and optional embodiments.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, as an embodiment of the present invention, a car air vent mounting bracket is disclosed, including a body 1, a driven rod 2, a driving rod 3, a rotating hook 4, and a manual driver 5; the driven rod 2, the driving rod 3, and the manual driver 5 are directly or indirectly disposed on the body 1, the rotating hook 4 is disposed on the driving rod 3 and / or the driven rod 2, and can rotate relative to the driving rod 3; the driven rod 2 and the driving rod 3 can extend outward or retract inward relative to the body 1; the manual driver 5 is connected to the driving rod 3 to drive the driving rod 3 to extend outward or retract inward.
[0036] When the manual drive 5 drives the active rod 3 to retract inward, the rotating hook 4 flips and stands up. When the active rod 3 continues to retract inward, the driven rod 2 also retracts inward. When the manual drive 5 drives the active rod 3 to extend outward, the rotating hook 4 flips and retracts in the opposite direction. When the active rod 3 continues to extend outward, the driven rod 2 also extends outward. The flipping hook can be stood up and retracted at least two different positions away from the main body 1.
[0037] In this invention, the rotating hook 4 of the automotive air vent mounting bracket is in active contact with the driven rod 2 and the driving rod 3. When the manual drive 5 drives the driving rod 3 to retract inward, the rotating hook 4 will quickly stand up. When the driving rod 3 continues to retract inward, the driven rod 2 will also retract inward. When the driving rod 3 extends outward, the rotating hook 4 will also quickly rotate and retract. When the driving rod 3 continues to extend outward, the driven rod 2 will also extend outward. With this structure, the rotating hook 4 can quickly stand up or quickly retract, with a short driving distance, making it easy to assemble and disassemble.
[0038] Furthermore, the rotating hook 4 of this invention, through its rotational connection with the driven rod 2 and the driving rod 3, can simultaneously stand up or retract when the driven rod 2 and the driving rod 3 retract or extend. This design is simple, stable, reliable, and easy to manufacture. When releasing the lock, the rotating hook 4 immediately retracts and hides, allowing for quick unlocking and removal of the car air vent mounting bracket from the external blades. When clamping, driving the manual actuator 5 immediately raises the rotating hook 4, achieving locking. Unlocking or secondary locking requires minimal drive stroke, making disassembly and installation quick.
[0039] Optionally, the driven rod 2 or the driving rod 3 is provided with a storage space for hiding the rotating hook 4, and the storage of the rotating hook 4 reduces the volume of the car air vent mounting bracket. Specifically, the driving rod 3 is provided with a storage space for hiding the rotating hook 4. Specifically, the driven rod 2 and the rotating hook 4 are embedded in the driving rod 3. Specifically, when the rotating hook 4 is erected and retracted, part or all of the rotating hook 4 is hidden in the storage space.
[0040] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the driving rod 3 has a receiving cavity 32, forming a storage space, and the driven rod 2 is embedded in the receiving cavity 32. The manual actuator 5 is a knob 51, and the inner wall of the knob 51 is provided with a threaded groove 33. The driving rod 3 is provided with a thread 33, and the thread 33 and the threaded groove 33 cooperate. When the knob 51 is turned, the driving rod 3 retracts, the rotating hook 4 is driven to stand up, and at the same time, the driven rod 2 is driven to retract until it is clamped on the outer blade; when the knob 51 is turned in the opposite direction, the driving rod 3 extends outward, the rotating hook 4 is driven to retract, the rotating hook 4 is unlocked from the outer blade, and at the same time, the driven rod 2 is driven to extend outward until it is clamped on the outer blade.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the driven rod 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 32, and a connecting shaft 22 is provided at the end of the driven rod 2. A pin 34 is provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 32, and a shaft groove 41 is provided on the side of the rotating hook 4. The rotating hook 4 is installed in the receiving cavity 32, and the pin 34 is inserted into the shaft groove 41, thereby realizing the rotatable installation of the rotating hook 4 onto the driving rod 3. The rotating hook 4 also includes a driven connecting part 42 and a hook part 43, and the shaft groove 41 is provided on the side of the driven connecting part 42. A shaft mounting opening is provided on the driven connecting part 42, and the connecting shaft 22 is inserted into the shaft mounting opening, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the rotating hook 4 and the driven rod 2. The active rod 3 includes a top abutment 35, which is an arc-shaped surface located on the surface of the receiving cavity 32. The arc-shaped top abutment 35 engages with the outer hook 45 of the rotating hook 4, thereby abutting against the back side of the hook. When hooking the air outlet blade, it provides a flipping force to the rotating hook 4, thus assisting in lifting the rotating hook 4 upright. The inner hook 44 of the rotating hook 4 is used to hook the air outlet blade. Specifically, the inner hook 44 is the inner surface of the hook part 43, and the outer hook 45 is the outer surface of the hook part 43.
[0042] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, a support portion 11 is provided on the main body 1; the support portion 11 is integrally connected to the main body 1 or detachably connected. In this solution, the support portion 11 increases the area of the car air vent mounting bracket at the air vent, ensuring a stable fixation. The support portion 11 and the main body 1 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected. An integral connection provides better overall integrity and higher structural strength; a detachable connection facilitates the removal or replacement of the support portion 11 to suit different scenarios or air vents.
[0043] Optionally, the support portion 11 includes two first sub-support portions 111, which form a V-shaped structure. In this design, the two first sub-support portions 111 form a V-shaped structure, providing stable support and good support effect.
[0044] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the support portion 11 includes a second sub-support portion 112, which is located between the two first sub-support portions 111. In this design, the second sub-support portion 112 is located between the two first sub-support portions 111, which can further increase the support contact area and make the support more stable.
[0045] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, a damping mechanism 6 is provided between the driven rod 2 and the main body 1. When the driven rod 2 extends or retracts, the damping mechanism 6 provides reverse resistance to the driven rod 2. In this scheme, the damping of the driven rod 2 by the damping of the damping mechanism 6 can improve the positioning effect of the driven rod 2.
[0046] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the damping mechanism 6 includes a damping part 61 and an elastic part 62; the elastic part 62 is connected to the damping part 61, and the damping part 61 presses against the driven rod 2 under the elastic force of the elastic part 62 to generate a damping force. In this embodiment, under the action of the elastic part 62, the damping part 61 presses against the driven rod 2 to generate damping, thereby positioning the driving rod 3. Specifically, the elastic part 62 is a spring, or it can be any single component or assembly that provides restoring force.
[0047] Optionally, a damping plate is provided on the damping part 61, which presses against the driven rod 2, providing good damping effect. In another embodiment, the damping part 61 and the driven rod 2 are provided with mutually pressing concave and convex portions 21. The concave and convex portions 21 can be selected to be similar to rack and pinion meshing, so as to achieve damping and generate vibration and sound during movement, providing movement feedback. Specifically, the damping part 61 and the elastic part 62 can be installed in the body 1.
[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, a limiting member 113 is provided on the main body 1, and the limiting member 113 is arranged opposite to the driven rod 2. In this design, the limiting member 113 and the driven rod 2 form a clamping space, which, together with the driven rod 2 and the rotating hook 4, clamps the blade, resulting in a better clamping and fixing effect. Specifically, the limiting member 113 is plate-shaped, with a large clamping contact area.
[0049] Optionally, the end of the active rod 3 furthest from the main body 1 has an opening 31, and the rotating hook 4 is located at the opening 31. In this design, the rotating hook 4 is located at the opening 31, which can avoid the rotation of the rotating hook 4 and reduce the thickness of the active rod 3.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the rotating hook 4 is basically housed within the receiving cavity 32, with only a small portion protruding relative to the receiving cavity 32. In another embodiment, as... Figure 8 As shown, the rotating hook 4 can be mostly protruding relative to the receiving cavity 32. Understandably, when the rotating hook is retracted, it can be configured to be completely hidden within the receiving cavity.
[0051] Regarding the specific installation of the rotating hook 4, in another embodiment, the difference from the above is that, as shown... Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the rotating hook 4 and the driven rod 2 are connected, with an elastic element 7 between them. The elastic element 7 provides the driving force for the rotating hook 4 to be housed on the driven rod. When the driving rod 3 retracts, the driving rod 3 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 7 and push the rotating hook 4 up. When the driving rod 3 extends to unlock, the rotating hook 4 is housed on the driven rod under the action of the elastic element 7, thus unlocking. In this embodiment, the elastic element 7 provides the elastic force for retracting the rotating hook 4. Those skilled in the art will understand that the elastic force of the elastic element 7 in this embodiment can also be reversed, that is, the elastic element 7 provides the elastic force for erecting the rotating hook.
[0052] In another embodiment, such as Figure 13 As shown, the rotating hook 4 is connected to the active rod 3. The elastic element 7 provides the driving force for the rotating hook 4 to stand upright relative to the active rod. When the active rod 3 is driven to retract, the rotating hook 4 opens under the action of the elastic element 7. When the active rod 3 is driven to extend outward, the passive rod 2 can overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 7 to retract the rotating hook 4, thus unlocking it. In this embodiment, the elastic element 7 provides the elastic force for standing up the rotating hook 4. Those skilled in the art will understand that the elastic force of the elastic element 7 in this embodiment can also be reversed, that is, the elastic element 7 provides the elastic force for retracting the rotating hook.
[0053] Specifically, the elastic element 7 can be a torsion spring, or any component or assembly that can provide restoring force.
[0054] Regarding the specific configuration of the driving link 3 and the driven link 2, as follows: Figure 1 In one embodiment shown, the driven rod 2 is embedded in the driving rod 3; while in another embodiment, it is... Figure 1 The difference is that, for example Figure 13 As shown, the receiving cavity 32 is disposed on the driven rod 2, and the driving rod 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 32 of the driven rod 2, that is, the driving rod 3 is embedded in the driven rod 2. It can be understood that the driving rod and the driven rod can also be configured in a structure where they are partially embedded or not embedded at all.
[0055] This invention also discloses a mobile phone holder, including a clamping mechanism and a car air vent mounting base as described above. The clamping mechanism is connected to the car air vent mounting base and is used to clamp electronic devices such as mobile phones. The clamping mechanism and the car air vent mounting base can be a detachable connection structure or an integrated non-detachable structure.
[0056] The above description, in conjunction with specific optional embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
