[0081] The following describes the carrier mechanism and electronic device according to embodiments of this application. However, it will be readily apparent that embodiments of this application provide many suitable inventive concepts that can be implemented in a wide range of specific contexts. The specific embodiments disclosed are merely illustrative of the use of this application in a particular manner and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0082] Furthermore, relative terms such as "below" or "bottom" and "above" or "top" may be used in the embodiments to describe the relative relationship of one element to another. It is understood that if the illustrated device is flipped upside down, the element described as being on the "below" side will become the element on the "above" side.

[0083] It should be understood that although terms such as "first," "second," etc., may be used herein to describe various elements, materials, and / or parts, these elements, materials, and / or parts should not be limited by these terms, and these terms are only used to distinguish different elements, materials, and / or parts. Therefore, the first element, material, and / or part discussed below may be referred to as the second element, material, and / or part without departing from the teachings of the embodiments of this application, and unless specifically defined, the first or second element, material, and / or part described in the claims may be understood as any element, material, and / or part in the specification, provided that it complies with the claims.

[0084] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. It is understood that these terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the relevant art and the background or context of this application, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal manner, unless specifically defined herein. Furthermore, the terms “approximately,” “about,” or “about” are used herein to cover situations or ranges of approximate and complete conformity. It should be noted that, unless specifically defined, even if such terms are not used in the description, they should be interpreted in the same way as if the aforementioned approximate terms were used.

[0085] Please refer to the following: Figure 1A , Figure 1A A perspective view of a communication system 1 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. It should be noted that the communication system 1 may include a display device 50 and an electronic device 10 mounted on the display device 50. For example, the electronic device 10 may include a camera element. In this way, the user can view image information through the display device 50 and capture images using the electronic device 10 to achieve communication and interaction functions. However, this application is not limited to this. The communication system 1 may include any electronic device mounted on and cooperating with the display device 50 to achieve various functions.

[0086] Figure 1B An exploded view of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1B As shown, the electronic device 10 includes a support mechanism 100, an electronic component 200, and a base 300. The support mechanism 100 is slidably engaged with the base 300 and adapted to support the electronic component 200. In some embodiments, the electronic component 200 can be mounted on a display device 50 (e.g., a display device 50) via the support mechanism 100 and the base 300. Figure 1A As shown in the figure. Specifically, the base 300 may include a bearing portion 302 adapted to engage the support mechanism 100. The electronic device 10 may include a plurality of fasteners 310 that can pass through the base 300 to secure the base 300 to the display device 50. For example, the fasteners 310 may pass through an opening 308 in the base 300 and be disposed in a corresponding hole in the display device 50, but this application is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the fasteners 310 may pass through the opening 308 in the base 300 and be disposed in any suitable location (e.g., on a wall).

[0087] Figure 2 A perspective view of the support mechanism 100 and the base 300 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2As shown, the support mechanism 100 includes a base plate 110 and a cover plate 190. The cover plate 190 is disposed above the base plate 110, and the base plate 110 and the cover plate 190 together surround an accommodating space. In some embodiments, the abutment portion 302 of the base 300 is disposed in the accommodating space between the base plate 110 and the cover plate 190, so that the base 300 engages with the support mechanism 100. In addition, the support mechanism 100 includes a knob 140, which is adapted for operation by a user. Specifically, the user can operate the knob 140 to control the support mechanism 100, so that the support mechanism 100 engages and locks with the base 300 (e.g., the abutment portion 302), or release the locked state of the support mechanism 100 and slide relative to the support mechanism 100 in the Z direction on the base 300 (e.g., the abutment portion 302). In some embodiments, the knob 140 may partially protrude from the accommodating space to facilitate user operation of the support mechanism 100. Additionally, the carrier mechanism 100 includes a connector 180 adapted for engaging electronic components 200. The connector 180 is exposed on the cover plate 190.

[0088] Figure 3A A plan view of a support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3B An exploded view of the support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3A and Figure 3BAs shown, the support mechanism 100 includes clamping members 120 movably disposed on the base plate 110. In some embodiments, the base plate 110 and clamping members 120 are adapted to contact and clamp the base 300 (e.g., the bearing portion 302) to fix the relative position of the base 300 and the support mechanism 100. In this embodiment, the support mechanism 100 includes two opposing clamping members 120 connected to each other by a spring 124. In some embodiments, the spring 124 is adapted to apply a force to the clamping members 120 to disengage them from the base 300. In this way, the risk of interference between the support mechanism 100 and the base 300 can be reduced when the user wants to install the support mechanism 100 onto or remove the support mechanism 100 from the base 300. Furthermore, the support mechanism 100 includes a slider 130 connected to the clamping members 120 and adapted to move the clamping members 120. The knob 140 of the support mechanism 100 is pivotally connected to the base plate 110 via a cam 145, and the cam 145 abuts against the slider 130. The knob 140 includes an operating portion 142 protruding from the base plate 110. When the user operates the operating portion 142 of the knob 140, the knob 140 rotates about the cam 145 as a central axis, and simultaneously pushes the slider 130 to move, thereby driving the clamping member 120 to move. The slider 130 includes a groove 132 corresponding to the linkage portion 122 of the clamping member 120. Specifically, the linkage portion 122 of the clamping member 120 can extend into the groove 132, thereby driving the clamping member 120 to move along the extension direction of the groove 132, such as the Z direction. In some embodiments, the extension directions of the grooves 132 on the slider 130 may be different, that is, a non-zero angle may be formed between the extension directions of different grooves 132, but this application is not limited to this.

[0089] Please refer to the above as well. Figure 5 In some embodiments, the support mechanism 100 includes a clicker 150. The clicker 150 is rotatably disposed on the base plate 110 and adapted to abut against the base 300 (e.g., the support portion 302). The clicker 150 is engaged to the base plate 110 by a fastener 155 and rotates about the fastener 155 as a central axis. Specifically, during engagement between the support mechanism 100 and the base 300, the support portion 302 can push the clicker 150 to rotate and produce a sound, thereby reminding the user of the distance between the base 300 and the support mechanism 100. In some embodiments, a clamp 120 partially covers the clicker 150 to reduce the risk of damage to the clicker 150 from external foreign objects. In addition, the clamp 120 has an opening 126 exposing the fastener 155. This improves the ease of adjusting or maintaining the fastener 155.

[0090] like Figure 3BAs shown, in some embodiments, the support mechanism 100 includes a resilient fastener 160, a connector 170, and an operating member 172. The resilient fastener 160 is disposed on the base plate 110 and located between the clamping member 120 and the base plate 110. When the support mechanism 100 engages with the bearing portion 302 of the base 300, the resilient fastener 160 is located between the bearing portion 302 and the base plate 110, and the resilient fastener contacts the bearing portion 302. The connector 170 is rotatably disposed on the base plate 110 and located between the knob 140 and the base plate 110. One end of the connector 170 contacts the resilient fastener 160, and the other end is connected to the operating member 172. A portion of the operating member 172 is exposed in the receiving space, and the operating member 172 is located between the knob 140 and the base plate 110. In some embodiments, the knob 140 can be rotated to create a gap between the operating member 172 and the knob 140. This provides space for the operating element 172 to move, allowing the user to control the position of the resilient fastener 160 using the operating element 172, facilitating the removal of the support mechanism 100. The following will refer to... Figure 3D , Figure 4C The operating modes of the flexible fastener 160 and the operating element 172 are further explained.

[0091] It should be noted that, Figure 3A The diagram illustrates the locked state of the support mechanism 100 engaged with the base 300. In this state, the base plate 110 and the clamping member 120 clamp the base 300 to reduce the risk of the support mechanism 100 disengaging from the base 300 during use of the electronic component 200. The following will refer to... Figure 3C and Figure 3D Explain the connection relationship between the bearing mechanism 100 and the base 300.

[0092] Figure 3C The illustration depicts a support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3A The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of line BB. Figure 3CAs shown, the support mechanism 100 further includes a buffer 125 disposed on the lower surface of the clamping member 120, i.e., the surface of the clamping member 120 facing the base plate 110. In some embodiments, the buffer 125 covers the lower surface and sidewalls of the clamping member 120 and contacts the upper surface of the support portion 302 adapted to the base 300, i.e., the surface of the support portion 302 facing the cover plate 190. For example, the buffer 125 may be made of a soft material (e.g., rubber or other polymeric materials). This reduces the risk of wear between the clamping member 120 and the base 300 and increases the friction between the clamping member 120 and the base 300. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the upper surface of the base plate 110, i.e., the surface of the base plate 110 facing the cover plate 190, may be provided with a protrusion 111 adapted to abut against the lower surface of the support portion 302 of the base 300, i.e., the surface of the support portion 302 facing the base plate 110. Specifically, the support portion 302 of the base 300 can be clamped between the protrusion 111 of the base plate 110 and the buffer 125 of the clamping member 120, thereby reducing the risk that the support portion 302 will displace unexpectedly and become detached from the bearing mechanism 100.

[0093] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the cover plate 190, i.e., the surface of the cover plate 190 facing the base plate 110, is provided with a protrusion 191, the protrusion having a slope 192; the clamping member 120 is provided with a groove 128. When the user pushes the operating part 142 of the knob 140, causing the cam 145 of the knob 140 to push the slider 130 to move the clamping member 120 away from each other in the X direction, one side wall of the groove 128 of the clamping member 120 is pushed by the slope 192 of the protrusion 191 of the cover plate 190, causing the clamping member 120 to move in the -Y direction toward the support part 302 of the base 300 and clamped in the support part 302. In some embodiments, the clamping member 120 contacts and clamps the support part 302 with a buffer member 125.

[0094] Figure 3D The illustration depicts a support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 3A The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of line CC. In some embodiments, when the support mechanism 100 is installed onto the base 300, the base 300 can abut against the resilient fastener 160 and press the resilient fastener 160 downward. In this way, the bearing portion 302 of the base 300 can be disposed in the receiving space between the base plate 110 and the cover plate 190, so that the base 300 engages with the support mechanism 100. Figure 3DAs shown, when the abutment 302 is at a critical position relative to the support mechanism 100 (i.e., the furthest position that the abutment 302 can move without disengaging from the support mechanism 100), the resilient fastener 160 is adapted to extend into the opening 305 of the base 300. Specifically, the opening 305 may be provided on the abutment 302. When the abutment 302 (e.g., due to external force) moves away from the receiving space of the support mechanism 100, the resilient fastener 160 may extend into the opening 305 of the base 300 to facilitate abutting the resilient fastener 160 against the abutment 302, thereby further reducing the risk of the abutment 302 disengaging from the support mechanism 100. In some embodiments, the base plate 110 is provided with a stop 114 adapted to abut against the resilient fastener 160.

[0095] Figure 4A A plan view of the support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. It should be noted that... Figure 4A The diagram illustrates the unlocked state of the support mechanism 100 engaged with the base 300. In this state, the support mechanism 100 can move freely relative to the base 300 to engage the support mechanism 100 with the base 300 or to disengage the support mechanism 100 from the base 300. Figure 4A As shown, the user can operate the operating part 142 of the knob 140, causing the knob 140 to rotate about the cam 145 as the central axis. Since the knob 140 abuts against the slider 130, the slider 130 moves with the knob 140, thereby causing the spring 124 to move the clamping member 120 closer together. The following will refer to... Figure 4B and Figure 4C Explain the connection relationship between the bearing mechanism 100 and the base 300.

[0096] Figure 4B The illustration depicts a support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4A The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of line BB. Figure 4B As shown, when the support mechanism 100 and the base 300 are in the unlocked state, one sidewall of the groove 128 of the clamping member 120 moves away from the inclined surface 192 of the protrusion 191, causing the buffer 125 of the support mechanism 100 to separate from the bearing portion 302 of the base 300 in the Y direction. This allows the support mechanism 100 to move freely relative to the base 300. For example, in the unlocked state, the gap between the buffer 125 and the bearing portion 302 can be between about 0.1 mm and about 1 mm, for example, about 0.5 mm. This reduces the risk of wear between the bearing portion 302 and the base plate 110 or the clamping member 120 during the removal or installation of the support mechanism 100.

[0097] Figure 4C The illustration depicts a support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4A The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of line CC. (See attached diagram.) Figure 4CAs shown, when the user wants to remove the support mechanism 100 from the base 300, the user can push the knob 140 and turn the operating member 172 in the Y direction, so that the elastic fastener 160 is touched by the connecting member 170 and moves away from the opening 305 of the base 300 in the -Y direction. In this way, the bearing part 302 can be disengaged from the elastic fastener 160, so as to facilitate the removal and installation of the support mechanism 100.

[0098] Figure 5 A partial plan view of a support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 6 The illustration depicts a support mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of line AA. Figure 5 As shown, the clicker 150 can abut against the support portion 302. In the unlocked state, the user can move the support mechanism 100 relative to the base 300 along the Z direction. At this time, the support portion 302 can push the clicker 150 to rotate (with the fixing member 155 as the central axis) and emit a sound, thereby reminding the user of the engagement distance between the base 300 and the support mechanism 100. Figure 6 As shown, the clicker 150 has a plurality of protrusions 152 extending toward the base plate 110 and adapted to contact a plurality of protrusions 112 of the base plate 110. In other words, the protrusions 112 of the base plate 110 are formed within the range of movement of the protrusions 152 of the clicker 150 (or within the coverage area of ​​the clicker 150). Specifically, a sound is emitted when the protrusions 152 of the clicker 150 contact the protrusions 112 of the base plate 110. For example, the protrusions 152 and the protrusions 112 may be arranged along the circumference of the clicker 150.

[0099] The number of protrusions 152 on the clicker 150 and the number of protrusions 112 on the base plate 110 can be adjusted accordingly to control the rotation distance of the clicker 150 when it emits sound. In some embodiments, the number of protrusions 152 on the clicker 150 is different from the number of protrusions 112 on the base plate 110. For example, the clicker 150 may have four protrusions 152, and the base plate 110 may have five protrusions 112. When the protrusions 152 and protrusions 112 are arranged at fixed angular intervals, that is, one protrusion 152 is arranged every 90 degrees and one protrusion 112 is arranged every 72 degrees. In this way, every time the clicker 150 is rotated by 18 degrees (i.e., the angular difference between the protrusions 152 and the protrusions 112), the protrusion 152 will contact the protrusion 112 and emit sound. The engagement distance between the base 300 and the support mechanism 100 can be determined based on the circumference of the clicker 150. It should be understood that the above configuration is merely an example, and any possible configuration of the protrusion 152 and the bump 112 is covered within the scope of this application.

Figure 8A An exploded view of the base 300 and support 400 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 8B An exploded view of the support member 400 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. It should be noted that the electronic device 10 may include the support member 400, adapted to rest against the display device 50 (e.g., see reference 10). Figure 1A The surface of the display device 50 is such that the electronic device 10 is mounted on the display device 50. For example... Figure 7 , Figure 8A and Figure 8B As shown, the support member 400 can be engaged to the base 300 via a locking fastener 310. Specifically, the support member 400 may include a bracket 405, a fixing member 410, a connecting rod 420, an elastic element 430, and a baffle 450. One surface of the baffle 450 is adapted to abut against the display device 50, and the other surface of the baffle 450 is connected to the fixing member 410 via the elastic element 430. The bracket 405 is pivotally connected to the baffle 450 via a pivot 406, and the bracket 405 is connected to the fixing member 410 via the connecting rod 420. The support member 400 is connected to the base 300 via the locking fastener 310. Specifically, the locking fastener 310 may pass through an opening 308 in the base 300 and an opening 408 in the fixing member 410 of the support member 400, and abut against the connecting rod 420. With this configuration, the user can operate the locking member 310, whose rod (not labeled) pushes the connecting rod 420, allowing the bracket 405 connected to the connecting rod 420 to move away from the fixing member 410. The following will refer to... Figures 9A to 9C Further explanation of the operation of support component 400.

[0101] Figures 9A to 9C Schematic diagrams illustrating the various stages of the operation support 400 according to embodiments of this application are shown. Figure 9A As shown, the elastic element 430 is connected to the bracket 405 and the baffle 450, and the baffle 450 applies a tensile force. In some embodiments, a cushioning pad 452 may be provided on the baffle 450 to engage with the surface of the display device 50. Next, as... Figure 9B As shown, the user can operate the locking fastener 310 (e.g., rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise) to push the connecting rod 420, which in turn pushes the baffle 450 to move away from the fixing member 410. It should be understood that the elastic element 430 extends with the movement of the connecting rod 420. Next, as... Figure 9C As shown, the user can move the baffle 450 to make the cushioning pad 452 adhere to the surface of the display device 50. This allows the support member 400 to be stably attached to the non-planar surface of the display device 50, reducing the risk of the electronic device 10 falling off. It should be understood that the user can return the support member 400 to its original position by following the reverse procedure described above, thereby separating the electronic device 10 from the display device 50.

[0102] Figure 10 A perspective view of the base 300 and the support member 500 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 11 An exploded view of the base 300 and support 500 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. It should be noted that the electronic device 10 may include the support 500, adapted to rest against the display device 50 (e.g., see reference 10). Figure 1A The surface of the display device 50 is such that the electronic device 10 is mounted on the display device 50. For example... Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the support member 500 may include a fixing member 505 and a torque member 510 disposed in the fixing member 505. The fixing member 505 of the support member 500 may be engaged to the base 300 by a locking fastener 310. Specifically, the locking fastener 310 may pass through the opening 308 of the base 300 and the opening 508 of the fixing member 505. The following will refer to... Figure 12 Further explanation of the operation method of support component 500.

[0103] Figure 12 A partial cross-sectional view of the base 300 and support member 500 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 12 As shown, the support member 500 includes a baffle 550. In some embodiments, a cushioning pad 552 may be provided on the baffle 550, and it may contact the surface of the display device 50. Furthermore, the baffle 550 has a rotating arm 555 extending into a groove 506 of the fixing member 505. A torque member 510 passes through the rotating arm 555 in the groove 506, allowing the user to manipulate the baffle 550 to change its orientation, causing the cushioning pad 552 to adhere to the surface of the display device 50. This ensures that the support member 500 is stably attached to the non-planar surface of the display device 50, reducing the risk of the electronic device 10 falling off. Additionally, in some embodiments, a washer 520 may be provided between the rotating arm 555 and the fixing member 505, with the torque member 510 passing through the washer 520. The washer 520 reduces the risk of wear between the rotating arm 555 and the fixing member 505.

[0104] In summary, this application provides a support mechanism and bracket assembly with a knob-driven clamp for installation. This allows the user to easily operate the knob of the support mechanism to install it onto the base, thereby reducing the difficulty of installing the support mechanism and the electronic components it supports. Furthermore, the electronic device may include a rotatable support member adapted to abut against a non-planar surface of the display device, facilitating the placement of the electronic device on the display device. Additionally, the support mechanism may include a clicker corresponding to a protrusion on the base plate, whereby the clicker emits a sound as it rotates, indicating the distance between the base and the support mechanism.
