Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of brackets, and in particular to a hidden bracket and a bracket shell. Background Art

[0002] In related art, the stand of a mobile phone case is connected to the shell structure via a three-section hinge. Specifically, the lower and upper hinge sections are connected by a three-section hinge. By flipping the stand, the stand supports the shell structure, allowing the electronic device to be supported at various angles on various surfaces. Because the hinge is the core component that enables the stand to achieve both support and storage functions, its structural stability is crucial.

[0003] However, in the related art, the rotating shaft of the bracket is directly exposed to the outside view. During long-term use, the rotating shaft of the bracket is easily damaged or fails to function due to external influences. At the same time, the direct exposure of the rotating shaft also greatly reduces the integrity and aesthetics of the bracket. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the main purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a hidden bracket and bracket shell that can better prevent the rotating shaft from being exposed to the external field of view.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0006] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a hidden bracket, comprising:

[0007] A rotating assembly comprising a first rotating member, a second rotating member, and a rotating shaft, wherein the rotating shaft is rotatably disposed on the first rotating member, the second rotating member having a slide groove extending along a first direction, the slide grooves being respectively disposed at opposite ends of the rotating shaft, and ends of the rotating shaft extending into corresponding slide grooves;

[0008] a supporting assembly, wherein one side of the supporting assembly has a connecting end, and the connecting end is disposed on one of the first rotating member and the second rotating member;

[0009] a base, the base being disposed on the other of the first rotating member and the second rotating member;

[0010] The first rotating member and the second rotating member rotate relative to each other through the rotating shaft, so that the rotating shaft and the slide groove slide relative to each other along the first direction, the supporting assembly moves relative to the base along the first direction, and the hidden bracket switches between a storage state and a supporting state; when the hidden bracket is in the storage state, in a projection plane parallel to the outer surface of the support assembly facing away from the base, from the side of the support assembly close to the base to the projection plane, at least a partial area of the second rotating member, the first rotating member and the projection of the rotating shaft are located within the projection range of the support assembly.

[0011] In one embodiment, the support assembly further has a distal end on a side facing away from the connecting end, and the slide groove has a first end and a second end along the first direction;

[0012] When the hidden bracket is in the storage state, the rotating shaft is located at the first end, and the second end is located on the side of the first end away from the remote end; during the process of the hidden bracket switching from the storage state to the supporting state, the rotating shaft slides relatively toward the second end in the sliding groove.

[0013] In one embodiment, the connecting end is arranged on the second rotating member, and the base is arranged on the first rotating member. During the relative rotation of the first rotating member and the second rotating member, the base abuts against the supporting assembly to push the supporting assembly to move relative to the base along the first direction.

[0014] In one embodiment, the base has a first abutment portion, and the support assembly has a second abutment portion;

[0015] When the hidden bracket switches from the storage state to the support state, the first abutting portion abuts against the second abutting portion to push the support assembly to move relative to the base along the first direction;

[0016] When the hidden bracket is in the supporting state, the first abutting portion abuts against the second abutting portion.

[0017] In one embodiment, a portion of the base penetrates to form a rotation cavity, and the rotation shaft is located in the rotation cavity;

[0018] The rotating chamber has first abutment walls at two opposite ends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the first abutment wall has a first abutment surface on a side close to the supporting assembly, and the first abutment surface is the first abutment portion;

[0019] An outer surface of a portion of the connecting end located at the rotating cavity protrudes to form an abutment rib, and the abutment rib is the second abutment portion.

[0020] In one embodiment, the first abutting surface is a curved surface that curves toward a side away from the supporting component; or,

[0021] The first abutting surface includes an abutting plane and an abutting inclined surface. The abutting plane extends along the extension direction of the base. The abutting inclined surface is inclined relative to the abutting plane and faces the supporting assembly. The junction between the abutting plane and the abutting inclined surface is smoothly transitioned.

[0022] In one embodiment, during the process of the hidden bracket switching from the storage state to the support state, when the first abutment portion switches from being separated from the second abutment portion to abutting against each other, the angle between the second rotating member and the first rotating member is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 40°.

[0023] In one embodiment, the base has a third abutment portion, and the second rotating member has a fourth abutment portion; during the process of the hidden bracket switching from the supporting state to the storage state, the third abutment portion abuts against the fourth abutment portion to push the supporting assembly to move relative to the base along the first direction toward the side of the connecting end.

[0024] In one embodiment, a portion of the base is penetrated to form a rotation cavity, and the rotation shaft is located in the rotation cavity; an end of the first rotating member facing away from the rotation shaft extends along the second direction;

[0025] The rotating chamber has a second abutting wall on one side along the second direction, and the second abutting wall has a second abutting surface on a side close to the rotating chamber, and the second abutting surface is the third abutting portion; along the second direction, the second abutting surface is inclined toward the side close to the supporting assembly;

[0026] Along the first direction, the second rotating member has the sliding groove on one side close to the rotating cavity, and the end surface of the other side of the second rotating member is the third abutting surface, and the third abutting surface is the fourth abutting portion.

[0027] In one embodiment, during the process of the hidden bracket switching from the supporting state to the storage state, when the third abutting portion switches from being separated from the fourth abutting portion to abutting each other, the angle between the second rotating member and the first rotating member is greater than or equal to 10° and less than or equal to 20°.

[0028] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a bracket shell, which includes any of the above-mentioned hidden brackets.

[0029] Embodiments of the present application provide a concealed bracket and bracket housing. The concealed bracket includes a rotating assembly, a support assembly, and a base. When the concealed bracket is in a stowed state, within a projection plane parallel to the outer surface of the support assembly facing away from the base, the projection of at least a portion of the second rotating member, the first rotating member, and the rotating shaft is within the projection range of the support assembly, extending from the side of the support assembly closest to the base to the projection plane. In other words, in the stowed state, the support assembly shields at least a portion of the second rotating member, the first rotating member, and the rotating shaft, thereby concealing the rotating shaft in the supported state. This effectively prevents the rotating shaft from being exposed to external view, significantly reducing the risk of the rotating shaft and other components of the rotating assembly being exposed, and thereby minimizing the risk of damage or malfunction of the rotating shaft due to external influences. Furthermore, shielding the rotating shaft and other components of the rotating assembly by the support assembly significantly improves the overall integrity and aesthetics of the bracket. Furthermore, the second rotating member of the rotating assembly has a slide groove extending along a first direction, with slide grooves disposed at opposite ends of the rotating shaft, and the ends of the rotating shaft extending into the corresponding slide grooves. The first rotating member and the second rotating member rotate relative to each other via the rotating shaft, causing the rotating shaft and the slide groove to slide relative to each other in the first direction, and the support assembly to move relative to the base in the first direction, thereby switching the hidden bracket between the storage state and the support state. In other words, the second rotating member is connected to the end of the rotating shaft via the slide groove, so that during the relative rotation of the second rotating member and the first rotating member, the slide groove and the rotating shaft can also move relative to each other in the first direction. As a result, the support assembly can simultaneously rotate relative to the base and move relative to the base in the first direction, thereby facilitating adjustment of the relative position of the support assembly, preventing interference with the rotation of the support assembly, facilitating better rotation of the support assembly, and improving the supporting effect of the support assembly.

[0049] In this application, the orientation or position relationship of "axial direction", "first direction" and "second direction" is based on the attached Figure 5 It should be understood that these directional terms are only used to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting this application.

[0050] An embodiment of the present application provides a hidden bracket 1, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The hidden bracket 1 includes a rotating component 10, a supporting component 20 and a base 30.

[0051] See also Figure 5 The rotating assembly 10 includes a first rotating member 11, a second rotating member 12 and a rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 is rotatably arranged on the first rotating member 11. The second rotating member 12 has a slide groove 12a extending along the first direction. The opposite ends of the rotating shaft 13 are respectively provided with slide grooves 12a, and the ends of the rotating shaft 13 extend into the corresponding slide grooves 12a.

[0052] See also Figure 7 The support assembly 20 has a connecting end 21 on one side thereof. The connecting end 21 is disposed on one of the first rotating member 11 and the second rotating member 12 .

[0053] The base 30 is disposed on the other of the first rotating member 11 and the second rotating member 12 .

[0054] See also Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14, the first rotating member 11 and the second rotating member 12 rotate relative to each other through the rotating shaft 13, so that the rotating shaft 13 and the slide groove 12a slide relative to each other along the first direction, the supporting assembly 20 moves relative to the base 30 along the first direction, and the hidden bracket 1 switches between the storage state and the supporting state; when the hidden bracket 1 is in the storage state, in a projection plane parallel to the outer surface of the support assembly 20 facing away from the base 30, from the side of the support assembly 20 close to the base 30 to the projection plane, at least a partial area of the second rotating member 12, the projection of the first rotating member 11 and the rotating shaft 13 are located within the projection range of the support assembly 20.

[0055] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 11 and Figure 15 Another embodiment of the present application provides a bracket shell, which includes the hidden bracket 1 described in any embodiment of the present application.

[0056] Specifically, the bracket shell can be a bracket shell of any type of electronic device, such as a bracket shell for a mobile phone.

[0057] In practice, the bracket case includes a housing 2 and a hidden bracket 1. The housing 2 is used to mount an electronic device, and the hidden bracket 1 is disposed on the side of the housing 2 facing away from the electronic device. The hidden bracket 1 is deployed to support the housing 2 and the electronic device. For ease of description, this application uses the example of a bracket case being used to mount a mobile phone as an example.

[0058] The hidden bracket 1 is a bracket capable of hiding the rotating shaft 13 .

[0059] The base 30 is a connecting member for connecting to the housing 2 of the bracket shell, and the support assembly 20 can rotate relative to the housing 2 to support the bracket shell.

[0060] In some embodiments, the base 30 is rotatably connected to the housing 2 of the bracket shell to achieve circumferential rotation of the hidden bracket 1 on the bracket shell.

[0061] The specific shapes of the base 30 and the support assembly 20 are not limited.

[0062] For example, the support assembly 20 includes an annular support shell having a connecting end 21 and a distal end 22 on opposite sides of the annular support shell.

[0063] For another example, the base 30 has an installation area for receiving at least a portion of the support assembly 20.

[0064] For another example, the installation area of the base 30 is an annular installation cavity. When the hidden bracket 1 is in the storage state, the annular support shell is stored in the annular installation cavity.

[0065] The rotating assembly 10 is used to connect the supporting assembly 20 and the base 30 so that the two can rotate relative to each other.

[0066] The first rotating member 11 and the second rotating member 12 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 13 .

[0067] The second rotating member 12 has two sliding grooves 12a, which are correspondingly arranged at two opposite ends of the rotating shaft 13 along the axial direction, so that the ends of the rotating shaft 13 along the axial direction can respectively extend into the corresponding sliding grooves 12a.

[0068] The chute 12a extends along a first direction. In practice, the first direction is different from the axial direction of the rotating shaft 13. The specific angle between the first direction and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 13 can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, the first direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 13, or there is a certain deviation therebetween.

[0069] Along the first direction, the outer dimensions of the end of the rotating shaft 13 are smaller than the extension length of the slide groove 12a along the first direction. As a result, the rotating shaft 13 and the slide groove 12a can move relative to each other along the first direction during the rotation of the support assembly 20 relative to the base 30, thereby adjusting the relative position of the support assembly 20 and the base 30 along the first direction.

[0070] The connection end 21 of the support assembly 20 is an end of the support assembly 20 close to the rotation shaft 13 .

[0071] In fact, the supporting assembly 20 further includes a distal end 22 , which is an end farther away from the rotating shaft 13 relative to the connecting end 21 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the connection end 21 may be disposed on the first rotating member 11, and the base 30 may be disposed on the second rotating member 12. Depending on practical circumstances, in other embodiments, the connection end 21 may be disposed on the second rotating member 12, and the base 30 may be disposed on the first rotating member 11. This enables relative rotation and relative movement along the first direction between the support assembly 20 and the base 30.

[0073] During the relative rotation of the first rotating member 11 and the second rotating member 12 about the rotation axis 13, the support assembly 20 and the base 30 can rotate relative to each other about the rotation axis 13. Furthermore, because the connection between the support assembly 20 and the rotation axis 13 is provided with a slide groove 12a extending in the first direction, the rotation axis 13 and the slide groove 12a can slide relative to each other in the first direction, thereby moving the support assembly 20 relative to the base 30 in the first direction. This allows the concealed bracket 1 to switch between different states.

[0074] See also Figures 1 to 5The storage state of the hidden bracket is the state in which the support assembly 20 is stored on the base 30. At this time, the angle between the support assembly 20 and the base 30 is the smallest. For example, the angle between the support assembly 20 and the base 30 is 0°.

[0075] See also Figures 11 to 14 The stowed state of the hidden bracket is a state in which the support assembly 20 rotates and moves to the supporting position to support the base 30 and the housing 2. At this time, the angle between the support assembly 20 and the base 30 is larger than that in the stowed state.

[0076] See also Figures 1 to 5 When the concealed bracket 1 is in the retracted state, within a projection plane parallel to the outer surface of the support assembly 20 facing away from the base 30, the projection of at least a portion of the second rotating member 12, the first rotating member 11, and the rotating shaft 13 from the side of the support assembly 20 close to the base 30 onto the projection plane is within the projection range of the support assembly 20. In other words, the second rotating member 12, the first rotating member 11, and the rotating shaft 13 are projected from the side of the support assembly 20 close to the base 30 onto the projection plane. Therefore, in the retracted state, the support assembly 20 is able to cover at least a portion of the second rotating member 12, the first rotating member 11, and the rotating shaft 13. In other words, the user cannot see at least a portion of the second rotating member 12, the first rotating member 11, and the rotating shaft 13 from the side of the support assembly 20 facing away from the base 30.

[0077] According to actual conditions, the support assembly 20 may cover a portion of the second rotating member 12, or may not completely cover a portion of the second rotating member 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the support assembly 20 may also cover the entire area of the second rotating member 12.

[0078] In the related art, the connection between the bracket's rotating member and the rotating shaft is a circular hole rather than a slot. The diameter of the circular hole is exactly the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft, preventing the rotating shaft from moving within the circular hole. However, the circular hole arrangement used in the related art prevents the rotating shaft from moving during the rotation of the bracket's rotating member, allowing only rotation between the support assembly and the base, not movement. This makes it difficult for the support assembly to maintain good coverage of the rotating shaft while preventing interference with other structures.

[0079] In the concealed stand 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the concealed stand 1 includes a rotating assembly 10, a support assembly 20, and a base 30. When the concealed stand 1 is in the stowed state, within a projection plane parallel to the outer surface of the support assembly 20 facing away from the base 30, the projection of at least a portion of the second rotating member 12, the first rotating member 11, and the rotating shaft 13 lies within the projection range of the support assembly 20, from the side of the support assembly 20 closest to the base 30. In other words, in the stowed state, the support assembly 20 shields at least a portion of the second rotating member 12, the first rotating member 11, and the rotating shaft 13, effectively concealing the rotating shaft 13 in the supported state. This effectively prevents the rotating shaft 13 from being exposed to external view, significantly reducing the risk of the rotating shaft 13 and other structures of the rotating assembly 10 being exposed, and thereby minimizing the risk of the rotating shaft 13 and other structures of the rotating assembly 10 being damaged or malfunctioning due to external influences. Furthermore, by shielding the rotating shaft 13 and other structures of the rotating assembly 10 by the support assembly 20, the integrity and aesthetics of the stand are greatly improved. On the other hand, the second rotating member 12 of the rotating assembly 10 has a slot 12a extending in the first direction. The rotating shaft 13 is provided with a slot 12a at each of its opposite ends, with the ends of the rotating shaft 13 extending into the corresponding slot 12a. The first rotating member 11 and the second rotating member 12 rotate relative to each other via the rotating shaft 13, causing the rotating shaft 13 and the slot 12a to slide relative to each other in the first direction. This allows the support assembly 20 to move relative to the base 30 in the first direction, switching between the stowed state and the support state. In other words, the second rotating member 12 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 13 via the slot 12a, allowing the slot 12a and the rotating shaft 13 to move relative to each other in the first direction during the relative rotation of the second rotating member 12 and the first rotating member 11. This allows the support assembly 20 to simultaneously rotate relative to the base 30 and also move relative to the base 30 in the first direction, thereby facilitating adjustment of the relative position of the support assembly 20, preventing interference with the rotation of the support assembly 20, and facilitating better rotation of the support assembly 20 while enhancing the support effectiveness of the support assembly 20.

[0080] In one embodiment, the support assembly 20 further has a distal end 22 on a side away from the connecting end 21 , and the sliding groove 12 a has a first end 12 aa and a second end 12 ab along the first direction.

[0081] When the concealed bracket 1 is in the stowed state, the rotating shaft 13 is located at the first end 12aa, and the second end 12ab is located on the side of the first end 12aa away from the distal end 22. When the concealed bracket 1 switches from the stowed state to the supporting state, the rotating shaft 13 slides relatively in the sliding groove 12a toward the second end 12ab. This prevents interference with the rotation of the support assembly 20 and facilitates smooth rotation of the support assembly 20.

[0082] Specifically, the first end 12aa and the second end 12ab of the chute 12a are opposite ends along a first direction. When the concealed bracket 1 is in the stowed state, the rotating shaft 13 is located at the first end 12aa, which is closer to the distal end 22 of the support assembly 20, than the second end 12ab. As the support assembly 20 rotates relative to the base 30, the rotating shaft 13 slides relatively within the chute 12a along the first direction, driven by the support assembly 20. From the first end 12aa toward the second end 12ab within the chute 12a, the concealed bracket 1 switches to the supporting state.

[0083] It is understandable that the rotating shaft 13 and the chute 12a slide relative to each other. That is to say, in actual process, according to the different specific settings, it can be that the chute 12a slides, and it can also be that the rotating shaft 13 slides.

[0084] It should be noted that when the hidden bracket 1 is in the supporting state, the rotating shaft 13 is located on the side of the first end 12aa close to the second end 12ab along the first direction. However, its specific position can be set according to actual conditions.

[0085] For example, the chute 12a further includes a support segment including a second end 12ab. The support segment has multiple support positions, with the second end 12ab being the support position in the support segment farthest from the first end 12aa along the first direction. When the concealed bracket 1 is in the supported state, the shaft 13 can be selectively supported at any support position as needed. In practice, when the shaft 13 is at the second end 12ab, the angle between the support assembly 20 and the base 30 is at its maximum.

[0086] For another example, when the hidden bracket 1 is in the supporting state, the rotating shaft 13 is at the second end 12ab.

[0087] For another example, when the hidden bracket 1 is in the supporting state, the rotating shaft 13 is located at a set supporting position between the first end 12aa and the second end 12ab.

[0088] When the base 30 is connected to the first rotating member 11 and the support assembly 20 is connected to the second rotating member 12, as the support assembly 20 rotates, the support assembly 20 as a whole moves relative to the rotation shaft 13 along the first direction toward the side away from the end 22, so that more areas of the support assembly 20 are located on the rotation opening side of the hidden bracket 1 ( Figure 5 The left side of the rotating shaft 13), and the side of the rotating shaft 13 away from the rotating opening ( Figure 5 The area to the right of the central shaft 13 is smaller, which can reduce interference with other structures (such as the base 30). At the same time, the effective area where the support assembly 20 can play a supporting role is larger and longer, thereby achieving better support effects of the support assembly 20 and the hidden bracket 1.

[0089] When the base 30 is connected to the second rotating member 12 and the support assembly 20 is connected to the first rotating member 11, as the support assembly 20 rotates, the support assembly 20 moves along the entire shaft 13 in the first direction toward the side away from the rotation opening of the hidden bracket 1. This allows more area of the support assembly 20 to be located on the side of the rotation opening of the hidden bracket 1, while less area is located on the side of the shaft 13 away from the rotation opening, thereby reducing interference with other structures (such as the base 30). At the same time, the effective area of the support assembly 20 that can provide support is larger and longer, thereby achieving a better support effect for the support assembly 20 and the hidden bracket 1.

[0090] In one embodiment, the connecting end 21 is disposed on the second rotating member 12, and the base 30 is disposed on the first rotating member 11. During the relative rotation of the first rotating member 11 and the second rotating member 12, the base 30 abuts against the support assembly 20 to push the support assembly 20 to move in the first direction relative to the base 30. Thus, during the rotation of the support assembly 20 relative to the base 30, the integrity of the concealed bracket 1 can be improved.

[0091] That is, during the rotation of the support assembly 20 relative to the base 30, parts of the support assembly 20 and parts of the base 30 can contact each other to form a mutual abutting force, thereby pushing the support assembly 20 to move in the first direction as the support assembly 20 rotates.

[0092] It should be noted that the specific contact method between the support assembly 20 and the base 30 is not limited.

[0093] For example, see Figures 6 to 8 The base 30 has a first abutting portion 31 , and the supporting assembly 20 has a second abutting portion 23 .

[0094] When the hidden bracket 1 switches from the storage state to the support state, the first abutting portion 31 abuts against the second abutting portion 23 to push the support assembly 20 to move relative to the base 30 along the first direction, such as toward the side away from the end 22 .

[0095] When the hidden bracket 1 is in the supporting state, the first abutting portion 31 abuts against the second abutting portion 23. Thus, the supporting assembly 20 can be moved toward the side away from the end 22, while preventing the shaft 13 from retreating to the first end 12aa when the hidden bracket 1 is in the supporting state.

[0096] Specifically, during the process of the hidden bracket 1 switching from the storage state to the support state, under the action of external force, the support assembly 20 can be rotated until the second abutment portion 23 contacts and abuts the first abutment portion 31, so that the base 30 pushes the support assembly 20 through the first abutment portion 31, enabling the support assembly 20 to move as a whole toward the side away from the end 22.

[0097] When the hidden bracket 1 is in the supporting state, the second abutting portion 23 and the first abutting portion 31 are always in the abutting state, so that the end of the rotating shaft 13 can be maintained in the abutting position in the slide groove 12a, such as the second end 12ab of the slide groove 12a, thereby maintaining the overall supporting state of the support assembly 20.

[0098] It should be noted that, when the concealed bracket 1 is in the stored state, the positional relationship between the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 is not limited. For example, the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 are spaced apart.

[0099] It should be noted that, when the concealed bracket 1 switches from the supporting state to the retracted state, the support assembly 20 and the base 30 may also be in abutment with each other via the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23, thereby achieving the retraction of the support assembly 20. Depending on the actual situation, the support assembly 20 and the base 30 may also be in abutment with each other via other structures.

[0100] It is understandable that the specific structural forms of the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 are not limited.

[0101] For example, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 A partial area of the base 30 penetrates to form a rotating cavity 30a, and the rotating shaft 13 is located in the rotating cavity 30a.

[0102] The rotating cavity 30 a has first abutting walls 32 at opposite ends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 13 . The first abutting wall 32 has a first abutting surface 32 a on one side close to the supporting assembly 20 . The first abutting surface 32 a serves as the first abutting portion 31 .

[0103] The outer surface of the portion of the connecting end 21 located at the rotating cavity 30a is protruded to form an abutting rib 211, which is the second abutting portion 23. Thus, through the mutual cooperation between the first abutting surface 32a and the abutting rib 211, a better abutting effect can be achieved.

[0104] Specifically, two first abutment walls 32 are formed in the rotating cavity 30a at opposite axial ends of the rotating shaft 13. Each first abutment wall 32 has a first abutment surface 32a. Abutment ribs 211 corresponding to the first abutment surfaces 32a are formed on the connecting end 21 of the support assembly 20. The one-to-one abutment engagement between the abutment ribs 211 and the first abutment surfaces 32a provides a good abutment effect.

[0105] It should be noted that the specific shape of the first abutting surface 32a can be set according to actual conditions.

[0106] For example, the first abutting surface 32a is a curved surface that is curved toward the side away from the support assembly 20. Therefore, as the support assembly 20 rotates, the abutting ribs 211 of the support assembly 20 gradually abut against the first abutting surface 32a, thereby achieving a better abutting effect.

[0107] It can be understood that, when the hidden bracket 1 is switched from the storage state to the supporting state, and in the supporting state, the abutting ribs 211 abut against different areas of the first abutting surface 32 a .

[0108] For example, the first abutting surface 32a includes an abutting plane 32aa and an abutting inclined surface 32ab. The abutting plane 32aa extends along the extension direction of the base 30, and the abutting inclined surface 32ab is inclined relative to the abutting plane 32aa and faces the support assembly 20. The junction between the abutting plane 32aa and the abutting inclined surface 32ab is a smooth transition, thereby achieving a better abutting effect.

[0109] Specifically, when the hidden bracket 1 switches from the stored state to the supported state, the abutment rib 211 abuts against the abutment slope 32ab and gradually transitions to abutment against the abutment plane 32aa. When the hidden bracket 1 is in the supported state, the abutment rib 211 abuts against the abutment plane 32aa.

[0110] Furthermore, the connection between the abutting plane 32aa and the abutting inclined surface 32ab is smooth, which means that the connection between the abutting plane 32aa and the abutting inclined surface 32ab is an arc-shaped smooth transition, and there is no obvious sudden change at the connection between the two. Thus, damage to the support assembly 20 can be prevented.

[0111] In one embodiment, during the transition of the concealed bracket 1 from the stowed state to the support state, when the first abutting portion 31 switches from being separated from the second abutting portion 23 to being in contact with each other, the angle between the second rotating member 12 and the first rotating member 11 is greater than or equal to 30° and less than or equal to 40°, such as 30°, 33°, 35°, or 40°. When the angle is controlled within this range, the structural layout of the support assembly 20 and the base 30 can be facilitated.

[0112] That is to say, during the process of the hidden bracket 1 switching from the storage state to the supporting state, the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 are not in abutment with each other throughout the entire process, but the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 only abut against each other after the second rotating member 12 rotates to the set angle.

[0113] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 15 to 17 The base 30 has a third abutting portion 33, and the second rotating member 12 has a fourth abutting portion 121. When the concealed bracket 1 switches from the supporting state to the stored state, the third abutting portion 33 abuts against the fourth abutting portion 121, thereby pushing the support assembly 20 to move relative to the base 30 along the first direction toward the connection end 21. This facilitates the overall movement of the support assembly 20 toward the connection end 21, allowing the support assembly 20 to be stored on the base 30.

[0114] Specifically, during the process of the hidden bracket 1 switching from the supporting state to the storage state, under the action of external force, the supporting assembly 20 can be rotated until the third abutting portion 33 contacts and abuts the fourth abutting portion 121, so that the base 30 pushes the supporting assembly 20 through the third abutting portion 33, enabling the supporting assembly 20 to move as a whole toward the side of the connecting end 21.

[0115] It should be noted that when the hidden bracket 1 is in the storage state and the support state, the positional relationship between the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 can be determined according to actual conditions. For example, the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 are provided separately.

[0116] It should be noted that, when the concealed bracket 1 switches from the stored state to the supported state, the support assembly 20 and the base 30 may also be abutted against each other by the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121, thereby achieving movement of the support assembly 20. Depending on actual conditions, the support assembly 20 and the base 30 may also be abutted against each other by other structures to achieve storage of the support assembly 20.

[0117] In a specific embodiment, when the concealed bracket 1 is in the stored state, the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 are in a separated state, and the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 are also in a separated state.

[0118] When the hidden bracket 1 switches from the storage state to the support state, the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 abut against each other, and the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 are in a separated state.

[0119] When the hidden bracket 1 is in the supporting state, the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 are in a separated state, and the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 abut and cooperate with each other.

[0120] When the hidden bracket 1 switches from the supporting state to the storage state, the first abutting portion 31 and the second abutting portion 23 are in a separated state, and the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 abut against each other.

[0121] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 17 A partial area of the base 30 penetrates to form a rotation cavity 30a, and the rotation shaft 13 is located in the rotation cavity 30a; an end of the first rotating member 11 away from the rotation shaft 13 extends along the second direction.

[0122] The rotating cavity 30a has a second abutting wall 34 on one side along the second direction. The second abutting wall 34 has a second abutting surface 34a on the side close to the rotating cavity 30a. The second abutting surface 34a is the third abutting portion 33. Along the second direction, the second abutting surface 34a is inclined toward the side close to the supporting assembly 20.

[0123] Along the first direction, the second rotating member 12 has a sliding groove 12a on one side close to the rotating cavity 30a, and the end surface of the other side of the second rotating member 12 is a third abutting surface 12b, which is a fourth abutting portion 121. Therefore, the second abutting surface 34a and the third abutting surface 12b cooperate with each other to achieve a good abutting effect.

[0124] Specifically, the second direction is the extending direction of the first rotating member 11 .

[0125] By providing the second abutting wall 34 on one side of the rotating cavity 30 a along the second direction, the second abutting surface 34 a of the second abutting wall 34 can abut and cooperate with the third abutting surface 12 b of the second rotating member 12 .

[0126] It should be noted that the second abutting surface 34 a is an inclined surface inclined relative to the second direction. By adopting the inclined surface arrangement, the second rotating member 12 and the supporting assembly 20 can be better guided to move along the first direction.

[0127] In one embodiment, when the concealed bracket 1 switches from the supporting state to the stowed state, when the third abutting portion 33 switches from being separated from the fourth abutting portion 121 to being in contact with each other, the included angle between the second rotating member 12 and the first rotating member 11 is greater than or equal to 10° and less than or equal to 20°, such as 10°, 13°, 15°, or 20°. When the included angle is controlled within this range, the structural layout of the support assembly 20 and the base 30 can be facilitated.

[0128] That is to say, during the process of the hidden bracket 1 switching from the supporting state to the storage state, the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 are not in abutment with each other throughout the entire process, but the third abutting portion 33 and the fourth abutting portion 121 only abut against each other after the second rotating member 12 rotates to the set angle.

[0129] In a specific embodiment, the first rotating member 11 has a plurality of first connecting holes, and the base 30 has a plurality of first connecting columns, and the first connecting columns are connected to the first connecting holes in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0130] Of course, in other embodiments, the first rotating member 11 and the base 30 may also be an integrally formed structure.

[0131] In a specific embodiment, the second rotating member 12 has a plurality of second connection holes, and the supporting assembly 20 has a plurality of second connection posts, and the second connection posts are connected to the second connection holes in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0132] Of course, in other embodiments, the second rotating member 12 and the supporting assembly 20 may also be an integrally formed structure.

[0133] In one embodiment, the base 30 has a rotating cavity 30a, and the rotating shaft 13 is located in the rotating cavity 30a. A portion of the cavity wall of the rotating cavity 30a along one side of the second direction protrudes to form a connecting wall. The connecting wall has a mounting groove for mounting the first rotating member 11.

[0134] The connecting wall and the cavity wall of the rotating cavity 30a on the axial side of the rotating shaft 13 are separated to form an avoidance groove, and the second abutting wall 34 is arranged in the avoidance groove, thereby better avoiding the abutment between the second abutting surface 34a and the third abutting surface 12b.

[0135] In a specific embodiment, the first rotating member 11 has an accommodating cavity, and the rotating shaft 13 is rotatably disposed in the accommodating cavity. A portion of one side of the accommodating cavity has an opening, and the opening extends along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 13. Thus, the rotating shaft 13 can be easily rotated.
