Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical structure technology, and in particular to a pop-out mechanism, functional components, and electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, electronic devices are typically equipped with detachable functional components, such as batteries. These detachable components are generally secured and removed using clips and springs. The clips and springs are usually integrated with the functional component, resulting in a complex internal structure and difficult assembly. Furthermore, the overall weight and size of the functional component tend to be heavier and larger, making installation and removal inconvenient and hindering operation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides an ejection mechanism, a functional component, and an electronic device.

[0004] The pop-out mechanism of this application includes a fixed bracket, a sliding bracket, an elastic component, and a limiting component. The sliding bracket is slidably connected to the fixed bracket and is used to mount functional elements. The sliding bracket can slide relative to the fixed bracket to switch between a locked state and a pop-out state. In the locked state, the sliding bracket is housed within the fixed bracket and fixed relative to it. In the pop-out state, the sliding bracket extends at least partially out of the fixed bracket. The elastic component is connected to the fixed bracket and is used to apply a driving force to the sliding bracket to maintain a tendency to move away from the elastic component. The limiting component includes a limiting part, a hook, and a first elastic member. The limiting part is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket. One end of the hook is rotatably connected to the sliding bracket. When the sliding bracket is in the locked state, the other end of the hook abuts against the limiting part under the action of the elastic member to lock the sliding bracket and the fixed bracket. One end of the first elastic member is connected to the sliding bracket, and the other end is connected to the hook. When the sliding bracket slides towards the elastic member in the locked state, the first elastic member applies a force to the hook to drive the hook to rotate so that the hook separates from the limiting part to unlock the fixed bracket and the sliding bracket, thereby allowing the sliding bracket to switch to the pop-out state under the action of the elastic member.

[0005] The functional components of this application include functional elements and the pop-out mechanism described in the above embodiments. The functional elements are detachably mounted on the sliding bracket.

[0006] The electronic device according to the embodiments of this application includes a body and the functional components described in the above embodiments. The functional components are mounted on the body.

[0007] In the pop-out mechanism, functional component, and electronic device of this application, the sliding bracket can slide relative to the fixed bracket to switch between a locked state and a pop-out state. The pop-out mechanism applies a driving force to the sliding bracket to keep it moving away from the elastic component. The limiting part and the latch in the limiting component cooperate to lock and unlock the sliding bracket and the fixed bracket. When the sliding bracket continues to slide towards the elastic component in the locked state, the first elastic member applies a force to the latch to drive the latch to rotate, causing the latch to separate from the limiting part and thus unlocking the fixed bracket and the sliding bracket, so that the sliding bracket switches to the pop-out state under the action of the elastic component. In this way, on the one hand, there is no need to set a relatively complex assembly structure on the functional component, reducing the overall weight and size of the functional component and facilitating the installation, disassembly, and replacement of the functional component. On the other hand, after the functional component is installed and the sliding bracket and the fixed bracket are locked, the user only needs to push the sliding bracket towards the fixed bracket again to unlock it, so that the sliding bracket and the functional component automatically pop out under the action of the elastic component, improving the user's operating experience.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the electronic device 300 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the electronic device 300 in this embodiment. The electronic device 300 of this application includes a body 320 and a functional component 200, the functional component 200 being mounted on the body 320. The body 320 may have an accommodating cavity, and the functional component 200 may be disposed within the accommodating cavity.

[0029] As people's living standards improve, electronic devices 300 that provide convenience in daily life are gradually coming into view. For example, electronic devices 300 may include robotic vacuum cleaners, food delivery robots, and some robotic toys. The body 320 can cover the exterior of the functional components 200, protecting the internal functional components 200. The shape of the accommodating cavity can match the shape of the functional components 200, allowing the functional components 200 to be stably installed within the body 320. The electronic device 300 can operate by multiple functional components 200 working together. These functional components 200 may include consumable components, components requiring frequent cleaning, or functional components 220 requiring periodic maintenance (e.g., batteries). To facilitate replacement or maintenance, the functional components 200 are generally detachably installed within the body 320.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the functional component 200 in the embodiment of this application. The functional component 200 in the embodiment of this application includes an ejection mechanism 100 and a functional element 220, which is detachably mounted on the ejection mechanism 100.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the sliding bracket 20 of the pop-out mechanism 100 in the embodiment of this application in a locked state. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the ejection mechanism 100 of this application in the ejected state, showing the sliding bracket 20. The ejection mechanism 100 of this application includes a fixed bracket 10, a sliding bracket 20, an elastic component 30, and a limiting component 40.

[0032] The sliding bracket 20 is slidably connected to the fixed bracket 10. The sliding bracket 20 is used to mount the functional element 220. The sliding bracket 20 can slide relative to the fixed bracket 10 to switch between a locked state and a pop-out state. In the locked state, the sliding bracket 20 is housed within the fixed bracket 10 and fixed relative to the fixed bracket 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown), in the pop-up state, the sliding bracket 20 extends at least partially out of the fixed bracket 10 (as shown). Figure 5 (As shown).

[0033] The elastic component 30 is connected to the fixed bracket 10. The elastic component 30 is used to apply a driving force to the sliding bracket 20 so that the sliding bracket 20 tends to move away from the elastic component 30.

[0034] The limiting component 40 includes a limiting part 42262, a hook 44, and a first elastic member 46. The limiting part 42262 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 10. One end of the hook 44 is rotatably connected to the sliding bracket 20. When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state, the other end of the hook 44 abuts against the limiting part 42262 under the action of the elastic component 30 to lock the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10. One end of the first elastic member 46 is connected to the sliding bracket 20, and the other end is connected to the hook 44. When the sliding bracket 20 slides towards the elastic component 30 in the locked state, the first elastic member 46 applies a force to the hook 44 to drive the hook 44 to rotate so that the hook 44 separates from the limiting part 42262 to unlock the fixed bracket 10 and the sliding bracket 20, thereby allowing the sliding bracket 20 to switch to the pop-out state under the action of the elastic component 30.

[0035] Specifically, the functional element 220 can be directly mounted on the sliding bracket 20. The functional element 220 may include components such as a battery, dust collection box, and water tank. For example, when the electronic device 300 is a robot, the functional element 220 may be a battery, and the battery can be installed and ejected through the ejection mechanism 100 to provide power to the robot.

[0036] The fixed bracket 10 can be made of rigid materials such as metal or plastic. The elastic component 30 is installed at one end of the fixed bracket 10 and abuts against the sliding bracket 20. The fixed bracket 10 can be fixed to the body 320, or it can be directly formed from the body 320. For example, as... Figure 2 As shown, the fixing bracket 10 can be integrally formed with the body 320, that is, the fixing bracket 10 can be a part of the body 320. Of course, in other embodiments, the fixing bracket 10 can also be fixedly installed on the body 320 by other fixing methods.

[0037] In the pop-out mechanism 100, functional component 200, and electronic device 300 of this application embodiment, the sliding bracket 20 can slide relative to the fixed bracket 10 to switch between a locked state and a pop-out state. The pop-out mechanism 100 can apply a driving force to the sliding bracket 20 to keep it moving away from the elastic component 30. The limiting part 42262 and the hook 44 in the limiting component 40 cooperate to lock and unlock the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10. When the sliding bracket 20 continues to slide towards the elastic component 30 in the locked state, the first elastic member 46 can apply a force to the hook 44 to drive the hook 44 to rotate so that the hook 44 separates from the limiting part 42262 and unlocks the fixed bracket 10 and the sliding bracket 20, so that the sliding bracket 20 can switch to the pop-out state under the action of the elastic component 30. Thus, on the one hand, there is no need to set up a relatively complex assembly structure on the functional element 220, which reduces the overall weight and size of the functional element 220 and makes it easier to install, disassemble and replace the functional element 220. On the other hand, after the functional element 220 is installed and the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10 are locked, the user only needs to push the sliding bracket 20 to slide it closer to the fixed bracket 10 to unlock it, so that the sliding bracket 20 and the functional element 220 can automatically pop out under the action of the elastic component 30, which improves the user's operating experience.

[0038] It is understood that functional element 220 can be detachably connected to sliding bracket 20. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the functional element 220 needs to be installed, an external force can be applied to the functional element 220 in the direction of the body 320. Under the action of the external force, the sliding bracket 20 can move from the pop-out state to the locked state. The limiting component 40 can lock the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10, so that the functional element 220 can follow the sliding bracket 20 into the locked state. At this time, the functional element 220 can be connected to other components of the electronic device 200 to realize its function. For example, when the functional element is a battery, in the locked state, the battery can contact the battery interface of the electronic device 200 to realize power transmission.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the functional element 220 needs to be disassembled, a certain external force can be applied to the functional element 220 in the direction of the interior of the body 320 (i.e., the direction where the elastic component 30 is located) while it is in the locked state. At this time, the sliding bracket 20 can overcome the driving force provided by the elastic component 30 and continue to move towards the elastic component 30. The limiting component 40 can unlock the fixed bracket 10 and the sliding bracket 20. Then, the external force applied to the functional element 220 is removed, and the sliding bracket 20 can move away from the elastic component 30 under the driving force of the elastic component 30. This allows the functional element 220 to move with the sliding bracket 20 to at least partially pop out of the fixed bracket 10, that is, the functional element 220 can at least partially pop out of the body 320, so that the functional element 220 can be removed from the sliding bracket 20 for replacement or maintenance.

[0040] In the embodiments of this application, the sliding bracket 20 can drive the functional element 220 to switch between a locked state and a pop-out state. Correspondingly, pushing the functional element 220 can also drive the sliding element 220 to slide relative to the fixed bracket 10 to slide into or out of the body 320.

[0041] The elastic component 30 can be fixedly mounted on the fixed bracket 10 and abut against the sliding bracket 20. When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state, the elastic component 30 abuts against the sliding bracket 20 to apply a driving force to the sliding bracket 20 in a direction away from the elastic component 30, thereby enabling the sliding bracket 20 to be locked relative to the fixed bracket 10 in the locked state. It can also push the sliding bracket 20 and the functional element 220 to slide away from the elastic component 30 to switch to the pop-up state when the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10 are unlocked.

[0042] The limiting component 40 can be disposed between the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10. With the cooperation of the elastic component 30, the limiting component 40 can keep the sliding bracket 20 relatively fixed relative to the fixed bracket 10 in the locked state. Simultaneously, after applying a force to the sliding bracket 20 to cause it to move a certain distance closer to the elastic component 30, the limiting component 40 can unlock the sliding bracket 20, removing the force. The elastic component 30 can then drive the sliding bracket 20 to slide away from the elastic component, thus popping out the sliding bracket 20 and the functional element 220.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, the limiting part 42262 can be directly formed on the fixed bracket 10. The limiting part 42262 can be configured as a groove, and its direction is towards the side of the sliding bracket 20. The hook 44 can be made of a relatively hard material, such as iron, copper, or hard plastic. One end of the hook 44 is rotatably connected to the sliding bracket 20, and the other end of the hook 44 can cooperate with the limiting part 42262 to limit the movement of the fixed bracket 10 and the sliding bracket 20.

[0044] The first elastic element 46 can be a spring, rubber band, or other element with a certain degree of elasticity. One end of the first elastic element 46 is sleeved on the hook 44, and the other end is fixed to the sliding bracket 20. The first elastic element 46 has an elastic force that causes the hook 44 to pop out from the limiting part.

[0045] During the process of the sliding bracket 20 switching from the pop-out state to the locked state, an external force is applied to the sliding bracket 20 to make the sliding bracket 20 slide in the direction of the elastic component 30. This can overcome the elastic force of the first elastic element 46 so that the hook 44 can slide into the limiting part 42262, thereby allowing the hook 44 to abut against the limiting part 42262 to lock the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10.

[0046] When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state and an external force is applied to the sliding bracket 20 to continue sliding towards the elastic component 30, the elastic force of the first elastic member 46 is restored so that the hook 44 can slide out of the limiting part 42262 under the drive of the elastic force, thereby enabling the limiting component 40 to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state. After the external force is removed, the sliding bracket 20 can slide away from the elastic component 30 under the action of the elastic component 30 to switch to the pop-out state.

[0047] Please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a cross-sectional view of the pop-out mechanism 100 in the locked state. Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional view of the pop-out mechanism 100 in the pop-out state. In some embodiments, the fixed bracket 10 has a top post 11, and the sliding bracket 20 has a spring arm 22 at the end away from the elastic component 30;

[0048] When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state, the top column 11 abuts against the spring arm 22.

[0049] Thus, when the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state, the spring arm 22 can hold the functional element 220, so that the functional element 220 can be stably installed in the body 320.

[0050] Specifically, the top post 11 can be formed at the end of the fixed bracket 10 away from the elastic component 30, and the top surface of the top post 11 can be flush with the bottom surface of the sliding bracket 20. The spring arm 22 can have a certain elastic deformation. The spring arm 22 can include a protruding end 221, which protrudes towards the side facing the functional element 220. Correspondingly, the functional element 220 can be provided with a slot 211, which can cooperate with the protruding end 221 to restrict the functional element 220 to be stably installed in the body 320.

[0051] Please see Figure 6 When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state, the top post 11 abuts against the protruding end 221 of the spring arm 22, so that the protruding end 221 is stably engaged with the slot 211 on the functional element 220. Since the top post 11 abuts against the lower side of the protruding end 221, the spring arm 22 will not undergo elastic deformation, the protruding end 221 can be stably engaged in the slot 211, and the functional element 220 can be more stably installed in the body 320.

[0052] When the sliding bracket 20 is in the pop-out state, the protruding end 221 slides away from the top post 11, the top post 11 separates from the protruding end 221 of the spring arm 22, and the spring arm 22 can undergo a certain elastic deformation under the action of external force. The protruding end 221 of the spring arm 22 can be slightly tilted towards the fixed bracket 10, and the protruding end 221 separates from the slot 211, which facilitates the removal of the functional element 220 from the body 320.

[0053] Please see Figures 4-7 In some embodiments, a first limiting structure 14 is formed on the fixed bracket 10, and a second limiting structure 26 is formed on the sliding bracket 20. The first limiting structure 14 and the second limiting structure 26 cooperate to limit the sliding stroke of the sliding bracket 20.

[0054] The first limiting structure 14 may include a limiting post, and the second limiting structure 26 may include a limiting groove, which extends along the sliding direction of the sliding bracket 20.

[0055] Specifically, the limiting post can be a cylindrical structure, and it can be formed by the fixed bracket 10 protruding towards the sliding bracket 20. The limiting groove can be provided through the sliding bracket 20, or it can be a groove opened on the side of the sliding bracket 20 facing the fixed bracket 10. The height of the limiting post can be the same as the depth of the limiting groove, so that the limiting post and the limiting groove will not affect the installation of the functional element 220 on the sliding bracket 20.

[0056] A screw hole can be formed on the limiting post, which can be engaged with a screw. The screw can pass through the limiting groove and be screwed into the screw hole, thereby limiting the sliding stroke of the sliding bracket 20 on the fixed bracket 10.

[0057] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting groove may be formed on the fixed bracket 10 facing the sliding bracket 20, and the limiting post may be formed on the sliding bracket 20 facing the fixed bracket 10. This application does not limit the first limiting structure 14 and the second limiting structure 26.

[0058] Please see Figures 4-7 In some embodiments, the elastic component 30 includes a retaining member 34 and a second elastic member 32 connected to the retaining member 34. The retaining member 34 abuts against the sliding bracket 20, and the second elastic member 32 is connected to the fixed bracket 10.

[0059] Thus, the second elastic member 32 can provide elastic force to the abutment member 34, thereby enabling the sliding bracket 20 to be locked relative to the fixed bracket 10 in the locked state and to be driven to move away from the elastic mechanism 30.

[0060] Specifically, the second elastic element 32 can be an elastic element such as a spring. The supporting element 34 can be a block structure or a plate structure, and the supporting element 34 abuts against the sliding bracket 20 under the action of the second elastic element 32.

[0061] When the sliding bracket 20 is in the pop-out state, the second elastic element 32 can be in the pre-compressed state or the original length state; when the sliding bracket 20 switches from the pop-out state to the locked state, the second elastic element 32 has an elastic force on the sliding bracket 20 in the direction away from the fixed bracket 10, and the sliding bracket 20 needs to be provided with an elastic force to overcome the second elastic element 32 in order to complete the switching.

[0062] When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state, the second elastic member 32 exerts an elastic force on the sliding bracket 20 in a direction away from the fixed bracket 10, so that the sliding bracket 20 can switch to the locked state with the cooperation of the limiting component 40; when the sliding bracket 20 switches from the locked state to the pop-out state, the second elastic member 32 exerts an elastic force on the sliding bracket 20 in a direction away from the fixed bracket 10, so as to drive the sliding bracket 20 to slide to the pop-out state.

[0063] Please see Figures 6-8 , Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the track slider 42. In some embodiments, the limiting component 40 includes the track slider 42 and the hook 44. The track slider 42 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 10. A track groove 422 is formed on the track slider 42. One end of the hook 44 is rotatably connected to the sliding bracket 20. The other end of the hook 44 is disposed in the track groove 422. A limiting part 42262 is formed in the track groove 422. When the sliding bracket 20 slides relative to the fixed bracket 10, the hook 44 slides in the track groove 422.

[0064] When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state, the hook 44 abuts against the limiting part 42262 to lock the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10.

[0065] When the sliding bracket 20 slides toward the elastic component 30 in the locked state, the hook 44 separates from the limiting part 42262 to unlock the fixed bracket 10 and the sliding bracket 20.

[0066] Thus, the hook 44 can cooperate with the limiting part 42262 on the track groove 422 to restrict the locking and unlocking of the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10.

[0067] Specifically, the sliding bracket 20 may have a through hole 22, and the track slider 42 is disposed on the fixed bracket 10 and can be exposed through the through hole 22, with the track groove 422 facing the through hole 22. One end of the hook 44 can be rotatably connected to the sliding bracket 20, and the other end of the hook 44 forms a hook portion 442 facing the fixed bracket 10. The hook portion 442 of the hook 44 slides within the track groove 422. Of course, in other embodiments, the track slider 42 may be disposed on the sliding bracket 20, with the track groove 422 facing the fixed bracket 10. The hook 44 is rotatably disposed on the fixed bracket 10, and the hook portion 442 of the hook 44 slides within the track groove 422.

[0068] The limiting part 42262 can be formed on the side of the track groove 422 away from the hook 44. When the sliding bracket 20 switches between the pop-out state and the locked state, the elastic component 30 has a driving force on the sliding bracket 20 in the direction away from the fixed bracket 10, and the hook 44 also tends to move away from the fixed bracket 10. The hook 44 can be held against the limiting part 42262 under the action of the elastic component 30, so that the sliding bracket 20 can be locked relative to the fixed bracket 10.

[0069] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the track groove 422 includes an inlet section 4222, a first track section 4224, a locking section 4226 and a second track section 4228 connected in sequence. The outlet of the second track section 4228 is connected to the inlet section 4222, and the locking section 4226 forms a limiting part 42262.

[0070] During the process of the sliding bracket 20 moving from the pop-out state toward the direction of the elastic component 30, the hook 44 slides from the inlet section 4222 into the first trajectory section 4224 and then into the locking section 4226 to abut against the limiting part 42262 so that the fixed bracket 10 and the sliding bracket 20 are locked.

[0071] When the sliding bracket 20 continues to slide towards the elastic component 30 in the locked state, the first elastic element 46 drives the hook 44 to rotate relative to each other so that the hook 44 separates from the limiting part 42262 and slides into the second trajectory segment 4228, thereby causing the sliding bracket 20 to move away from the fixed bracket 10 under the action of the elastic component 30 to switch to the pop-out state.

[0072] Thus, the segmented and interconnected track groove 422 allows the hook 44 to slide back and forth within the track groove 422 to lock and unlock the hook 44, thereby allowing the sliding bracket 20 to switch between the locked state and the pop-up state.

[0073] Specifically, the hook 44 can slide within the track groove 422. The inlet section 4222 can be located on the side of the track groove 422 near the hook 44. When the sliding bracket 20 is in the pop-out state, the hook portion 442 of the hook 44 is located in the inlet section 4222. The first track section 4224 can extend from the inlet section 4222 away from the hook 44. When the sliding bracket 20 slides from the pop-out state towards the elastic component 30, the hook portion 442 of the hook 44 slides within the first track section 4224 and slides into the locking section 4226 to cooperate with the limiting portion 42262, thereby locking the sliding bracket 20. The second track segment 4228 can extend from the side away from the hook 44 towards the inlet segment 4222 and communicate with the inlet segment 4222. When the sliding bracket 20 continues to slide towards the elastic component 30 in the locked state, the hook portion 442 of the hook 44 separates from the limiting portion 42262. Under the action of the second elastic element 32 of the elastic component 30, the sliding bracket 20 slides away from the elastic component 30, and the hook 44 slides into the second track segment 4228 under the action of the sliding bracket 20 and gradually slides into the inlet segment 4222 so that the sliding bracket 20 switches to the pop-out state. Specifically, the limiting portion 42262 can be a U-shaped recess located in the middle part of the locking segment 4226 and recessed away from the elastic component 30.

[0074] More specifically, in this embodiment, in the pop-out state, when the sliding bracket 20 slides towards the elastic component 30 to the locked state under the action of an external force, the external force is removed. Under the action of the elastic component 30, the sliding bracket 20 tends to move away from the elastic component 30. Thus, under the action of the second elastic member 32, the hook 44 abuts against the limiting part 42262, thereby restricting the sliding of the sliding bracket 20 and locking the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10. When an external force is applied to the sliding bracket 20 again to make the sliding bracket 20 continue to move towards the elastic component 30 in the locked state, the hook 44 separates from the limiting part 42262. The hook 44 can enter the second trajectory segment 4228 along the groove wall of the locking segment 4226, releasing the lock between the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10. Then, when the external force is removed, the sliding bracket 20 slides away from the elastic component 30 under the action of the elastic component 30. The hook 44 slides from the locking section 4226 to the second trajectory section 4228 and further slides into the inlet section 4222 under the action of the sliding bracket 20, thereby causing the sliding bracket 20 to switch to the pop-out state.

[0075] It is understood that the inlet section 4222, the first track section 4224, the locking section 4226, and the second track section 4228 can be straight grooves, arc grooves, or a combination of straight grooves and arc grooves. This application does not limit the shape of the track groove 422.

[0076] The limiting part 42262 can be a U-shaped recess formed at the locking section 4226. The opening of the limiting part 42262 faces away from the hook 44, and the recess of the limiting part 42262 can be arc-shaped. The two ends of the opening of the limiting part 42262 can be smoothly connected to the first track section 4224 and the second track section 4228 respectively, which facilitates the sliding of the hook 44 in and out. The bottom of the recess of the limiting part 42262 is the position of the hook 20 when the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state.

[0077] During the process of the sliding bracket 20 switching from the pop-up state to the locked state, after the hook 44 slides to the top of the first track segment 4224, the first elastic member 46 can drive the hook 44 to slide towards the second track segment 4228. At the same time, under the action of the elastic component 30, the hook 44 can abut against the limiting part 42262, thereby locking the sliding bracket 20 and the fixed bracket 10.

[0078] When the sliding bracket 20 is in the locked state and a force is applied to the sliding bracket 20 to continue sliding towards the elastic component 30, the hook 44 is disengaged from the locking section 4226 under the action of the first elastic element 46 and continues to slide into the second trajectory section 4228, thereby causing the sliding bracket 20 to slide away from the elastic component 30 under the action of the elastic component 30 to switch to the pop-out state.

[0079] Please see Figures 6-8 In some embodiments, a first stepped surface 42242 is formed at the connection between the first trajectory segment 4224 and the locking segment 4226, and the depth of the first stepped surface 42242 is less than the depth of the bottom surface of the locking segment 4226.

[0080] Thus, the hook 44 can slide along the first track segment 4224 toward the locking segment 4226. The depth of the first stepped surface 42242 is less than the depth of the bottom surface of the locking segment 4226. The first stepped surface 42242 restricts the hook 44 to slide only from the first track segment 4224 into the locking segment 4226 and not from the locking segment 4226 back to the first track segment 4224.

[0081] Specifically, the depth of the first stepped surface 42242 can be greater than the depth of the bottom surface of the first track segment 4224 and less than the depth of the bottom surface of the locking segment 4226. The first track segment 4224, the first stepped surface 42242, and the locking segment 4226 are arranged in a stepped manner. When the hook 44 slides from the first track segment 4224 to the first stepped surface 42242, the height difference between the two restricts the hook 44 from sliding back to the first track segment 4224. At the same time, the steps formed by the two are directed towards the locking segment 4226, which can guide the hook 44 from the first track segment 4224 to the locking segment 4226. This allows the hook 44 to slide to the limiting part 42262 on the locking segment 4226 under the action of the elastic component 30 and abut against the limiting part 42262 to form a lock.

[0082] Please see Figures 6-8 In some embodiments, a second stepped surface 42282 is formed at the connection between the locking segment 4226 and the second trajectory segment 4228, and the depth of the second stepped surface 42282 is greater than the depth of the bottom surface of the locking segment 4226.

[0083] Thus, the hook 44 can slide along the locking section 4226 toward the second track section 4228. The depth of the second step surface 42282 is greater than the depth of the bottom surface of the locking section 4226, which restricts the hook 44 to slide only from the locking section 4226 to the second track section and not from the second track section 4228 back to the locking section 4226.

[0084] Specifically, when the hook 44 leaves the limiting part 42262, the groove wall on the side of the locking section 4226 away from the hook 44 tilts towards the second trajectory section 4228, which can guide the hook 44 to slide towards the second trajectory section 4228. The height difference between the second stepped surface 42282 and the locking section 4226 restricts the hook 44 from sliding back to the locking section 4226. At the same time, the step formed by the two faces the second trajectory section 4228, which can guide the hook 44 to slide into the second trajectory section 4228, thereby allowing the hook 44 to slide towards the inlet section 4222 along the second trajectory section 4228 under the action of the elastic component 30.

[0085] Please see Figures 6-8 In some embodiments, the depth of the first trajectory segment 4224 gradually increases in the direction of extension from the inlet segment 4222 to the locking segment 4226, and the depth of the second trajectory segment 4228 gradually decreases in the direction of extension from the locking segment 4226 to the inlet segment 4222, with the depth at the inlet of the first trajectory segment 4224 being greater than the depth at the outlet of the second trajectory segment 4228.

[0086] Thus, the depth at the entrance of the first trajectory segment 4224 is greater than the depth at the exit of the second trajectory segment 4228, creating a step at the connection between the two. When the hook 44 enters from the entrance segment 4222, it will enter along the first trajectory segment 4224 instead of sliding directly into the second trajectory segment 4228.

[0087] Specifically, at the connection between the inlet segment 4222 and the first track segment 4224 and the second track segment 4228, the depth of the bottom surface at the connection between the first track segment 4224 and the inlet segment 4222 can be the same, and the depth of the bottom surface of the second track segment 4228 is less than the depth of the bottom surface of the inlet segment 4222, so that the connection between the first track segment 4224 and the second track segment 4228 and the inlet segment 4222 forms a step to prevent the hook 44 from entering the second track segment 4228 when it slides out of the inlet segment 4222.

[0088] Please see Figures 6-8 In some embodiments, the track slider 42 includes a body 412 and a stop portion 426. A track groove 422 is formed between the body 412 and the stop portion 426. The track groove 422 surrounds the stop portion 426. The stop portion 426 has a guide surface 4262. The guide surface 4262 is used to guide the hook 44 from the inlet section 4222 into the first track section 4224 during the process of the sliding bracket 20 switching from the pop-up state to the locked state.

[0089] Thus, the stop 426 can restrict the hook 44 from sliding in the track groove 422, and the guide surface 4262 on the stop 426 can guide the hook 44 from the inlet section 4222 into the first track section 4224 so that the hook can slide smoothly into the first track section 4222 without sliding directly into the second track section 4224.

[0090] Specifically, the stop portion 426 can be formed by surrounding the inlet section 4222, the first track section 4224, the locking section 4226, and the second track section 4228. The guide surface 4262 can be formed at the connection between the inlet section 4222 and the first track section 4224. The guide surface 4262 is inclined towards the side where the first track section 4222 is located. In this way, when the hook 44 slides out from the inlet section 4222, it will first abut against the guide surface 4262. The inclination of the guide surface 4262 towards the side where the first track section 4222 is located can force the hook 44 to slide only into the first track section 4222.
