Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a device for releasing / fixing the direction of operation of an electronic device connector, and more specifically, to an assembly for mounting electronic devices, said assembly being able to fix a structure located at 90 degrees to a screw when the screw moves in a straight line in a CCTV camera or similar electronic product, toy, etc., where the direction of the camera needs to be adjusted. Background Technology

[0002] Regarding the device for the direction of operation of releasing / fixing the camera connector, there is a fixing technique that applies screws in each direction of movement for tilting, rotation, and translation.

[0003] Alternatively, another conventional technique provides a construction in which a rib protrudes from a member pulled by a screw and is inserted into and secured between serrated structures behind the rib.

[0004] According to the aforementioned conventional technology, when securing the front spherical structure by tightening and loosening a screw, the fixation of the front spherical structure can be adjusted by bringing the surface friction portion surrounding the spherical joint into contact with the front spherical structure or separating the surface friction portion from the front spherical structure. However, applying the spherical joint may increase the overall length of the product. Therefore, to reduce the product length while securing the rear structure, a flat structure can be inserted. Here, a method of inserting ribs between the serrations is used.

[0005] However, these conventional techniques have several drawbacks. First, if the rib moves in the same direction as the screw, the rib and screw may interfere with each other and not be positioned at their initial engagement location. Furthermore, if the rib is made thin to facilitate smooth insertion into the gap, there is a risk of damaging the rib. Additionally, the resolution of the rotation angle is reduced due to the difficulty in minimizing the serrations. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Technical issues

[0007] This disclosure has been made to address the aforementioned problems of the prior art; therefore, one aspect of this disclosure is to provide an assembly for mounting an electronic device, wherein, when a screw is tightened, a rib rotates 90 degrees backward due to its tilt angle to enter between the serrated structures of the object, thereby eliminating interference during insertion gaps.

[0008] Another aspect of this disclosure is to prevent a decrease in the fixing force by suppressing yaw motion that occurs in the relevant parts when the camera connector is fixed.

[0009] Another aspect of this disclosure is to provide sufficient holding force to the electronic device mounting components by using an elastic material to surround the ball joint.

[0010] However, the aspects of this disclosure are not limited to those set forth herein. The foregoing and other aspects of this disclosure will become more apparent to those skilled in the art upon reference to the detailed description of this disclosure given below.

[0011] Technical solution

[0012] According to one aspect of this disclosure, an assembly for mounting an electronic device is provided. The assembly includes a base mounted on a fixed structure, a mounting support for mounting the electronic device, and an arm connecting the base and the mounting support. The assembly provides a fixed state and a movable state, wherein in the fixed state, the base and the mounting support are fixed to the arm, and in the movable state, the base and the mounting support are movable.

[0013] The arm includes: a front locking member configured to engage with a connector of the mounting support; a rear locking member configured to engage with the base; a pusher having a forward inclined surface that contacts the front locking member and a rear inclined surface that contacts the rear locking member; and a housing housing the front locking member, the rear locking member, and the pusher.

[0014] The front inclined surface is inclined toward the bottom closer to the mounting support, the rear inclined surface is inclined toward the bottom closer to the base, the front locking member has an inclined surface corresponding to the front inclined surface, and the rear locking member has an inclined surface corresponding to the rear inclined surface.

[0015] A screw fastening hole is formed on the surface of the housing, a tap member is formed in the pusher near the screw fastening hole, and the arm also includes a screw for tightening the screw fastening hole and the tap member.

[0016] The housing includes an upper housing with the screw fastening holes and a lower housing assembled together with the upper housing.

[0017] When the screw rotates in the release direction, the pusher descends, and when the screw rotates in the tightening direction, the pusher rises.

[0018] When the pusher descends, the axial force between the front inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the front locking member, and between the rear inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the rear locking member, is released, thereby enabling the mounting support and the base to move relative to the arm. When the pusher rises, the axial force acts between the front inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the front locking member, and between the rear inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the rear locking member, thereby fixing the mounting support and the base to the arm.

[0019] The mounting support includes: a ball joint that makes surface contact with a contact surface formed on the inner surface of the housing and a contact surface formed on a portion of the front of the front locking member; a neck that extends forward from the ball joint and is held by an opening in the housing; and a mounting portion that connects to the neck and is used to mount the electronic device.

[0020] The surface mesh is formed on the spherical surface of the ball joint by a knurling process to prevent slippage and provide friction between the ball joint and the contact surface.

[0021] Injection-molded products made of non-metallic materials are coated and laid on the contact surface to prevent slippage and provide friction between the ball joint and the contact surface.

[0022] A guide groove is formed on one side of the housing, such that the mounting support has tilting motion caused by the movement of the neck of the mounting support along the guide groove and rotational motion caused by the rotation of the ball joint about the axial direction of the arm in the movable state, and such that the base has rotational motion about the axial direction of the arm in the movable state.

[0023] The arm further includes a spring, inserted between the rear locking member and the base, and providing elastic force in the direction that separates the rear locking member and the base.

[0024] The base includes: a flat member mounted on the fixed structure; a neck extending forward from the flat member and held by an opening in the housing; a serrated member having a plurality of teeth arranged circumferentially at the front of the neck; and a through hole penetrating the center of the serrated member.

[0025] The rear locking member includes a rib projecting from the rear surface of the rear locking member toward the serrated member, such that the rib can be inserted between the teeth.

[0026] Both the ribs and the teeth have a tapered shape that narrows in the direction in which they protrude.

[0027] The resolution that allows the base to be rotated relative to the arm to adjust its position is determined by the pitch interval between the teeth.

[0028] The rear surface of the rear locking member includes: a first rim portion inserted into the through hole; a second rim portion concentrically arranged outside the first rim portion and guiding the rotation of the base relative to the arm while surrounding the serrated member together with the first rim portion; and a third rim portion concentrically arranged outside the second rim portion and forming a space with the second rim portion for receiving the end of the spring.

[0029] The front locking member includes a guide that engages with a groove formed in the inner surface of the housing and guides the movement of the front locking member in the axial direction of the arm.

[0030] The front locking member further includes a foot formed at the opposite position to the guide and protruding toward the pusher, and the housing includes a stop formed on the inner surface and protruding in the inner diameter direction, and the foot and the stop contact each other to inhibit the front locking member from yawing downward when the front locking member is pushed forward by the rise of the pusher.

[0031] To ensure a passage for connecting cables from the base to electronic devices mounted on the mounting support, the connector, the front locking member, the pusher, the rear locking member, and the base all have through holes extending in the axial direction of the arm.

[0032] According to another aspect of this disclosure, an assembly for mounting an electronic device is provided, the assembly including a base mounted on a fixed structure and an arm connecting the base and a mounting support, and providing a fixed state and a movable state, wherein in the fixed state, the base and the mounting support are fixed to the arm, and in the movable state, the base and the mounting support are movable.

[0033] The mounting support for mounting the electronic device can be coupled to the arm, and the arm includes: a front locking member configured to engage with a connector of the mounting support; a rear locking member configured to engage with the base; a pusher having a forward inclined surface contacting the front locking member and a rear inclined surface contacting the rear locking member; and a housing housing the front locking member, the rear locking member, and the pusher.

[0034] The front inclined surface is inclined toward the bottom closer to the mounting support, the rear inclined surface is inclined toward the bottom closer to the base, the front locking member has an inclined surface corresponding to the front inclined surface, and the rear locking member has an inclined surface corresponding to the rear inclined surface.

[0035] When the pusher descends, the axial forces between the front inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the front locking member, and between the rear inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the rear locking member, are released, thereby enabling the mounting support and the base to move relative to the arm.

[0036] When the pusher rises, an axial force acts between the front inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the front locking member, and between the rear inclined surface of the pusher and the inclined surface of the rear locking member, to achieve a fixed state in which the mounting support and base are fixed to the arm.

[0037] Beneficial effects

[0038] The assembly for mounting electronic devices according to this disclosure can reliably secure or detach the camera connector without increasing the length of the device itself. Furthermore, the camera connector located at both the front and rear of the housing can be secured or detached simply by manipulating screws.

[0039] However, the effects of this disclosure are not limited to those described above, and various other effects are included in this specification. Attached Figure Description

[0048] The advantages and features of this disclosure, as well as methods of implementing them, will become apparent from the exemplary embodiments described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the inventive concept is not limited to the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein, but can be implemented in various ways. Exemplary embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the inventive concept thorough and to fully convey the scope of the inventive concept to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the scope of this disclosure is defined only by the claims. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals denote the same elements.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It will be further understood that terms such as those defined in common dictionaries shall be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the relevant field and / or the context of this application, and shall not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined herein.

[0050] The terminology used herein is for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the scope of this disclosure. As used herein, the singular forms are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Throughout this specification, the word “comprise” and variations such as “comprises” or “comprising” are to be understood as implying the inclusion of the stated elements but not excluding any other elements.

[0051] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, this document uses expressions related to directions such as "forward," "backward," "upward," and "downward," but these should be understood as relative concepts that may vary depending on the mounting orientation of the electronic device mounting assembly 100.

[0052] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Figure 1 This is a side view showing a camera module 15, an example of an electronic device, mounted in an electronic device mounting assembly 100 for mounting electronic devices according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 This is a perspective view of an electronic device mounting assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device mounting assembly 100 may include a base 30 mounted on a fixed structure, a mounting support 10 for mounting the electronic device 15, and an arm 50 connecting the base 30 and the mounting support 10. Here, a fixed state in which the base 30 and the mounting support 10 are fixed to the arm 50 and a movable state in which they are movable are provided.

[0055] Although camera module 15 is shown as Figure 1 The example of electronic device 15 is provided, but this disclosure is not necessarily limited thereto and can also be applied to other electronic devices mounted on a fixed structure and which must be connected to cables for power or communication.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 In the movable state, the mounting support 10 can have a tilting movement Rx relative to the arm 50 about the horizontal axis Ax. Additionally, the mounting support 10 can have a rotational movement Rz about the axial direction Az of the arm 50 caused by the rotation of the ball joint coupled to the arm 50. On the other hand, in the movable state, the base 30 can only have a rotational movement Rz' about the axial direction Az of the arm 10 (this movement can be considered as the rotational movement Rz' of the arm if the base 30 is considered fixed to the mounting surface). Through combinations of these movements Rx, Rz, and Rz', the electronic device 15 can be installed in various positions and orientations desired by the user.

[0057] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of an electronic device mounting assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 4 It is observed from different angles. Figure 3 An exploded 3D diagram.

[0058] As shown in the figure, the mounting support 10 may include a ball joint 11, a neck 12, and a mounting portion 13.

[0059] The ball joint 11 allows contact surface 515 (see) formed on the inner surface of the housing 51 to pass through. Figure 6 and Figure 7 ) and contact surface 525 formed on a portion of the front of the front locking member 52 (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 Slide it up to change the posture of the mounting support 10.

[0060] The neck 12 extends forward from the ball joint 11 and is held by the front opening of the housing 51. The neck 12 can move in a direction adjusted by the guide groove 511 formed on the lower side of the housing 51 while providing tilting movement Rx toward the mounting support 10.

[0061] Additionally, the mounting section 13 is connected to the neck 12 and is a component for mounting the electronic device 15.

[0062] As shown in the figure, arm 50 may include multiple components. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, arm 50 may include a front locking member 52, a pusher 53, a rear locking member 54, a screw 55, a spring 56, and a housing 51 (51a, 51b) for housing these components. Housing 51 may include an upper housing 51a having screw fastening holes 512 and a lower housing 51b assembled with the upper housing 51a. Furthermore, in addition to the aforementioned components, housing 51 may also house a connector (e.g., a ball joint) 11 included in the mounting support 10 and a serrated member 35 included in the base 30. To accommodate the connector 11 and the serrated member 35, which are part of other components, housing 51 may have openings formed at its front and rear, respectively.

[0063] The front locking member 52 can be configured to engage with the ball joint 11 of the mounting support 10, and the rear locking member 54 can be configured to engage with the base 30. The pusher 53 has a forward-inclined surface a that contacts the front locking member 52 (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 6 and Figure 7 ) and the rear inclined surface b that contacts the rear locking member 54 (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ).

[0064] Additionally, a base 30 with a forward-protruding serrated member 35 is positioned behind the rear locking member 54. A spring 56 can be inserted between the rear locking member 54 and the base 30 to provide a spring force in the direction of separating the rear locking member 54 and the base 30.

[0065] Here, the movement Rx or Rz of the mounting support 10 relative to the arm 50 is suppressed by the combination of the front locking member 52 and the ball joint 11, and the movement Rz' of the arm 50 relative to the base 30 is suppressed by the combination of the rear locking member 54 and the serrated member 35.

[0066] Simultaneously, when the electronic device 15 is mounted in front of the mounting support 10 and the rear surface of the base 30 is mounted on the mounting surface, the cable needs to be connected to the electronic device 15 by passing through the component along the axial direction Az of the arm 50 to provide power and communication functions to the electronic device 15. Therefore, as Figure 4 As shown, this disclosure is configured to ensure a passage for connecting a cable from the base 30 to an electronic device 15 mounted on the mounting support 10. Specifically, the connector 11, the front locking member 52, the pusher 53, the rear locking member 54, and the base 30 all include a through-hole extending in the axial direction Az of the arm 50 (the spring 56 includes a through-hole in its structure itself).

[0067] Figure 5 When the electronic device mounting assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is in a movable state, along Figure 2 A longitudinal cross-section cut along the direction C-C'. Figure 6 Through from Figure 5 The longitudinal section obtained by removing the mounting support 10 and the base 30. Additionally, Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A longitudinal cross-sectional view of the electronic device mounting assembly 100 when it is changed to a fixed state.

[0068] As described above, the arm 50 has a front locking member 52 configured to be coupled to a ball joint 11 of the mounting support 10, a rear locking member 54 configured to be coupled to the base 30, and a pusher 53 having a front inclined surface a that contacts the front locking member 52 and a rear inclined surface b that contacts the rear locking member 54.

[0069] Here, the front inclined surface a is inclined towards the bottom closer to the mounting support 10, and the rear inclined surface b is inclined towards the bottom closer to the base 30. In addition, in order to correspond to this profile of the pusher 53, the front locking member 52 has an inclined surface c corresponding to the front inclined surface a, and the rear locking member 54 has an inclined surface d corresponding to the rear inclined surface b.

[0070] Since the front locking member 52, the pusher member 53 and the rear locking member 54 are configured to contact each other through inclined surfaces, the axial force acts on the front locking member 52 and the rear locking member 54 simultaneously, or the axial force is released as the pusher member 53 rises or falls.

[0071] As a means of lifting the pusher 53, a screw-nut method is used to convert rotation into linear motion. In principle, when the screw and nut are engaged, if the rotational movement of the nut is restricted, the nut will only move linearly along the axial direction of the screw when the screw rotates.

[0072] Specifically, a screw fastening hole 512 is formed in the surface (e.g., the upper side) of the housing 51, and a tap member 532 is formed in the pusher 53 near the screw fastening hole 512. Furthermore, a mounting screw 55 is used to tighten the screw fastening hole 512 and the tap member 532 together.

[0073] Therefore, when the screw 55 rotates in the release direction, the pusher 53 descends (m1), and when the screw 55 rotates in the tightening direction, the pusher 53 rises (m2).

[0074] When the pusher 53 descends, the axial forces between the front inclined surface a of the pusher 53 and the inclined surface c of the front locking member 52, and between the rear inclined surface b of the pusher 53 and the inclined surface d of the rear locking member 54, are released, so as to realize the movable states Rx, Rz, Rz' of the mounting support 10 and the base 30 relative to the arm 50.

[0075] Here, tilting motion Rx caused by the movement of the neck 12 of the mounting support 10 along the guide groove 511 and rotational motion Rz caused by the rotation of the ball joint 11 about the axial direction Az of the arm 50 are permitted, and rotational motion Rz' of the base 30 about the axial direction Az of the arm 10 is also permitted.

[0076] Conversely, when the pusher 53 rises, axial forces f1 and f2 act between the front inclined surface a of the pusher 53 and the inclined surface c of the front locking member 52, and between the rear inclined surface b of the pusher 53 and the inclined surface d of the rear locking member 54, to achieve a fixed state in which the mounting support 10 and the base 30 are fixed to the arm 50.

[0077] However, unlike the rear locking member 54, which has ribs directly engaged with the serrated member 35, the ball joint 11 of the mounting support 10 must be held in place by friction. Therefore, if the coefficient of friction between the ball joint 11 and the contact surfaces 515, 525 is low, there may be a problem that the mounting orientation of the electronic device 15 changes after installation.

[0078] Therefore, in order to prevent slippage and provide friction between the ball joint 11 and the contact surfaces 515, 525, according to embodiments of this disclosure, a surface grid is formed on the spherical surface of the ball joint 11 by a knurling process. Knurling is a process known as forming horizontal or inclined grooves in the outer surface of a tool or machine to prevent slippage. Knurling is particularly useful when the ball joint 11 is made of a metallic material (e.g., aluminum).

[0079] To prevent slippage and provide friction between the ball joint 11 and the contact surfaces 515 and 525, according to another embodiment of this disclosure, an injection-molded product made of a non-metallic material can be coated or laid on the contact surfaces 515 and 525. Non-metallic materials refer to non-metallic materials with a high coefficient of friction, such as rubber, plastics, polyurethane, or resin. Furthermore, knurling processes applied to the ball joint 11 can also be used together with the coating and laying of the injection-molded product.

[0080] Figure 8 This illustrates the yaw phenomenon that may occur when an axial force is applied to the front locking member 52 as the pusher 53 rises.

[0081] According to this disclosure, although the axial force causing the front locking member 52 to move forward acts as the pusher 53 rises, this is a process in which the vertical motion of the pusher 53 is changed into the horizontal motion of the front locking member 52 by the inclined surface. Therefore, the pusher 53 and the front locking member 52 have yaw motions Y1, Y2 and linear motion. Since yaw motion can cause problems such as component wear / damage and low power transmission efficiency, it is necessary to suppress yaw motion.

[0082] In this respect, the front locking member 52 includes a guide 521 that engages with a groove formed in the inner surface of the housing 51 (see [link]). Figure 4 The guide 521 is used to guide the movement of the front locking member 52 in the axial direction Az of the arm 50. However, in order to prevent yaw movement using only the guide 521, the guide 521 must be quite long, which may be an obstacle to the miniaturization of the device.

[0083] Therefore, this disclosure, together with guide 521, proposes an additional yaw motion prevention structure. According to embodiments of this disclosure, the front locking member 52 may further include a foot 522 formed opposite to guide 521 and projecting toward pusher 53. As a component corresponding to foot 522, housing 51 includes a stop 513 projecting from its inner surface along its inner diameter direction.

[0084] Therefore, even when the current locking member 52 is pushed forward by the rising of the pusher 53, the foot 522 can still... Figure 6 The contact stop 513 shown inhibits the downward yaw of the front locking member 52.

[0085] Figure 9 This is a rear perspective view of the rear locking component 54, and Figure 10 This is the rear view of the rear locking element 54.

[0086] The rear locking member 54 includes a rib 541 projecting from its rear surface toward the serrated member 35, such that the rib 541 can be inserted between the plurality of teeth 36 of the serrated member 35 formed in the base 30. In particular, the rib 541 has a tapered shape that narrows in its projecting direction. Therefore, even if the rib 541 is not in the proper position between the teeth 36, it can be easily positioned between the teeth 36.

[0087] Furthermore, multiple rim portions 543, 544, and 545 are concentrically arranged on the rear surface of the rear locking member 54. The first rim portion 543 is inserted into the through hole 37 of the base 30 (see...). Figure 11In addition, the second rim portion 544 is concentrically arranged outside the first rim portion 543, and guides the rotation of the base 30 relative to the arm 50 while surrounding the serrated member 35 together with the first rim portion 543. Furthermore, the third rim portion 545 is concentrically arranged outside the second rim portion 544 to form a space with the second rim portion 544 for accommodating the end of the spring 56.

[0088] Figure 11 This is a front perspective view of the base 30, which is integrated with the rear locking member 54. Additionally, Figure 12 This is a longitudinal sectional perspective view showing the connection relationship between the rear locking member 54 and the base 30.

[0089] The base 10 may comprise a flat member 31, a neck 33, and a serrated member 35 mounted on a fixed structure. The neck 33 extends forward from the flat member 31 and is held by a rear opening of the housing 51. Additionally, the serrated member 35 has a plurality of teeth 36 arranged circumferentially at the front portion of the neck 33. A through hole 37 is formed at the center of the serrated member 35 to penetrate the base 10.

[0090] To facilitate the placement of ribs 541 between teeth 36, both ribs 541 and teeth 36 can be configured with a tapered shape that narrows in the direction in which they project. In this configuration, the pitch interval between teeth 36 can be reduced. Therefore, when arm 50 is rotated and arranged relative to base 30, resolution can be improved. This is because resolution increases as the pitch interval between teeth 36 decreases or as the total number of teeth 36 present in the circumferential direction (commonly referred to as the module) increases.

[0091] In the above embodiments, the electronic device mounting assembly 100 has been described as including a mounting support 10, an arm 20, and a base 30. However, embodiments are also contemplated where the mounting support 10, including a ball joint 11, is provided as an accessory to the electronic device 15, and the electronic device mounting assembly 100 does not include the mounting support 10. In this case, the electronic device mounting assembly includes a base mounted on a fixed structure and an arm connecting the base to the mounting support, and the mounting support for mounting the electronic device can be coupled to the arm. Other operations of the invention are the same as those in the above embodiments, and therefore their repeated description is omitted.

[0092] Many modifications and other embodiments of the invention will arise for those skilled in the art upon receiving the teachings presented in the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings. Therefore, it should be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and that modifications and embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
