The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0038] Reference below Figures 1-8 A mobile phone holder assembly 1 for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. The mobile phone holder assembly 1 includes a holder housing 11 and a support assembly 12. The holder housing 11 is mounted on the vehicle's dashboard and defines a holder receiving cavity 114 therein. The support assembly 12 is movably disposed within the holder receiving cavity 114 to switch between an expanded state and a stowed state. The support assembly 12 optionally forms a mobile phone support position located outside the holder receiving cavity 114.

[0039] In the related art, most existing phone holders are user-installed or fixed near the dashboard. The phone holder can be connected to the dashboard through various methods, such as clamping, bonding, and adsorption. The connection between the phone holder and the phone also includes various methods, such as clamping and magnetic adsorption. However, user-installed or fixed phone holders can disrupt the overall shape of the dashboard, making it impossible to quickly fold and store the phone holder when not in use. Furthermore, the phone holder is an internal protrusion, which can affect driving safety in the event of a collision.

[0040] Specifically, the bracket housing 11 is disposed within the vehicle's dashboard. A mounting location for the housing can be provided on the dashboard, and the bracket housing 11 can be secured to the dashboard using bolts or other fastening methods. A bracket housing 114 is formed within the bracket housing 11, which can accommodate other components. The support assembly 12 can be disposed within the bracket housing 114 and can be moved within the bracket housing 114 to switch between an deployed and stowed state.

[0041] When the support assembly 12 is in the expanded state, the support assembly 12 can move to form a mobile phone support position, which is arranged outside the bracket accommodating cavity 114, and can be used to support the mobile phone 2. When the support assembly 12 is in the stored state, the support assembly 12 is retracted in the bracket accommodating cavity 114, and the mobile phone holder assembly 1 is arranged as an integral part of the dashboard. In the stored state, the surface of the dashboard is smooth. Compared with the prior art, the mobile phone holder assembly 1 can be switched to the stored state when the user is not using the mobile phone 2, thereby making the surface of the dashboard smooth, reducing the user's head collision injury, and improving the appearance of the dashboard.

[0042] In short, according to the mobile phone holder assembly 1 for a vehicle of the present invention, the mobile phone holder assembly 1 can switch between the expanded state and the stored state by controlling the support assembly 12 to move within the holder accommodating cavity 114, making operation easier, and when the user is not using the mobile phone, the mobile phone holder assembly 1 can be switched to the stored state, thereby making the surface of the dashboard smooth and reducing the user's head collision injury.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mobile phone holder assembly 1 further includes a cover plate 13, which is disposed above the holder box body 11 and can rotate on the holder box body 11. When the cover plate 13 is in contact with the holder box body 11, the cover plate 13 can drive the support assembly 12 to be converted from an expanded state to a retracted state. In the retracted state, the outer surface of the cover plate 13 is flush with the surface of the instrument panel to close the holder accommodating cavity 114. Therefore, when the mobile phone holder assembly 1 is in the retracted state, the surface of the instrument panel is smooth, reducing the user's head collision injury and improving the aesthetics of the mobile phone holder assembly 1.

[0044] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support assembly 12 includes a first bracket 121 and a second bracket 122. The first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 are disposed within the bracket accommodating cavity 114 and are rotatable within the bracket accommodating cavity 114 to achieve a transition between an expanded state and a stored state. The first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 are each formed with a supporting notch 1211 facing each other for clamping a mobile phone. The supporting notch 1211 can be configured in a "U" shape.

[0045] Furthermore, when the support assembly 12 remains in the unfolded state, the support notch 1211 provided on the first bracket 121 and the support notch 1211 provided on the second bracket 122 are directly opposite each other, and the two support notches 1211 are located outside the bracket accommodating cavity 114, forming a mobile phone support position. The mobile phone can be placed in the mobile phone support position, with the two ends of the mobile phone respectively contacting and cooperating with the support notch 1211 on the first bracket 121 and the support notch 1211 on the second bracket 122. Soft protrusions 1213 are also formed at the support notch 1211. The soft protrusions 1213 can contact the mobile phone to increase the friction between the support notch 1211 and the mobile phone 2, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the mobile phone and the mobile phone support position. The soft protrusions 1213 can also be used to prevent the mobile phone screen from being scratched. At the same time, the soft protrusions 1213 can solve the problem of loose clamping caused by the different thicknesses of different mobile phones 2.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the mobile phone holder assembly 1 further includes a first holder pivot axis 14 and a second holder pivot axis 15, the first holder pivot axis 14 and the second holder pivot axis 15 being respectively disposed within the holder accommodating cavity 114, a pivot axis mounting hole being provided on the holder box body 11, the first holder pivot axis 14 and the second holder pivot axis 15 passing through the pivot axis mounting hole, the first holder 121 being pivotally disposed on the first holder pivot axis 14, the second holder 122 being pivotally disposed on the second holder pivot axis 15, and the first holder pivot axis 14 and the second holder pivot axis 15 being disposed in parallel. By arranging the first holder pivot axis 14 and the second holder pivot axis 15 in parallel, it is ensured that when the support assembly 12 remains in the unfolded state, the support notch 1211 on the first holder 121 and the support notch 1211 on the second holder 122 can be aligned with each other.

[0047] A first restoring member 141 is disposed between the first bracket pivot axis 14 and the first bracket 121, and a second restoring member 151 is disposed between the second bracket pivot axis 15 and the second bracket 122. The first restoring member 141 and the second restoring member 151 can be configured as coil springs. The first restoring member 141 can engage with the first bracket 121 to drive the first bracket 121 to rotate on the first bracket pivot axis 14. The second restoring member 151 can engage with the second bracket 122 to drive the second bracket 122 to rotate on the second bracket pivot axis 15. By driving the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 to rotate, the support assembly 12 is switched from the stored state to the deployed state.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a driving protrusion 131 is provided on the cover plate 13. The driving protrusion 131 extends toward one side of the bracket accommodating cavity 114. The side of the driving protrusion 131 facing the bracket accommodating cavity 114 can be configured in a "V" shape. A transmission block 1212 is provided on each of the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122. The transmission block 1212 can cooperate with the driving protrusion 131. When the transmission block 1212 and the driving protrusion 131 cooperate, the support assembly 12 can be switched from the deployed state to the stowed state.

When the transmission block 1212 cooperates with the driving protrusion 131, the transmission block 1212 is subjected to external force and rotates along the axial direction of the bracket, thereby driving the first bracket 121 and the second bracket 122 to rotate. At this time, the support notch 1211 of the first bracket 121 and the support notch 1211 of the second bracket 122 rotate toward the bracket accommodating cavity 114, the cover plate 13 is fitted with the bracket box body 11, and the support assembly 12 is in a storage state.

[0050] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the free end of the driving protrusion 131 gradually decreases in the direction away from the cover plate 13, and the free end of the driving protrusion 131 can be constructed into a "V" shape. This arrangement can facilitate the cooperation between the driving protrusion 131 and the transmission block 1212, ensuring that the transmission block 1212 can be completely folded, and after the driving protrusion 131 and the transmission block 1212 cooperate, the driving protrusion 131 occupies a small space and can be completely accommodated in the bracket accommodating cavity 114.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a cover plate pivot shaft 116 is provided on two sides of the bracket box body facing each other, and a first pivot portion 1321 and a second pivot portion 1322 are respectively provided on two sides of the cover plate 13 facing each other. The cover plate pivot shaft is respectively penetrated by the first pivot portion 1321 and the second pivot portion 1322. The first pivot portion 1321 and the second pivot portion 1322 are rotatably provided on the cover plate pivot shaft. The first pivot portion 1321 and the second pivot portion 1322 can drive the cover plate 13 to rotate, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the cover plate 13. The mobile phone bracket assembly 1 also includes a clamping block 16. Specifically, a fastener mating hole is provided in the cover plate pivot shaft 116, and the clamping block 16 is disposed in the fastener mating hole. The clamping block 16 and the fastener mating hole can be fixedly connected by a screw 101, thereby mating the second pivot portion 1322 with the cover plate pivot shaft 116.

[0052] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a locking hook 133 is formed on the first pivot portion 1321, and a lock body 112 is provided on the bracket housing 11. The lock body 112 can cooperate with the locking hook 133, wherein the lock body 112 and the locking hook 133 can be fixed together by a snap-fit connection. When the support assembly 12 is in the stowed state, the lock body 112 and the locking hook 133 engage to lock the cover plate 13, thereby securing the cover plate 13 and affixing the cover plate 13 to the bracket housing 11, with the outer surface of the cover plate 13 flush with the surface of the instrument panel.

[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, teeth 135 are formed on the second pivot portion 1322 and arranged around the pivot axis.
