Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mounting bracket, and more particularly to a ball bearing mounting bracket and an electronic device assembly using the same. Background Technology

[0002] Many electronic devices (such as cameras, speakers, or lights) are typically mounted on brackets to position them and allow for angle adjustments as needed. During assembly, workers usually manually place the electronic devices onto the corresponding assembly areas on the brackets.

[0003] However, this assembly method carries certain risks. If the operator fails to hold the electronic device firmly during the assembly process, it may fall due to improper operation or other external forces, causing damage to the device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above, in one embodiment, a ball bearing mounting bracket is provided for assembling a ball bearing. The ball bearing includes a shaft and a ball, with the ball connected to one end of the shaft. The ball bearing mounting bracket includes a fixing plate, a connecting member, and a ball bearing support plate. The fixing plate includes an assembly surface. The connecting member is disposed on the assembly surface of the fixing plate. The ball bearing support plate includes a pivot side, a swingable side, and a slot. The slot is located between the pivot side and the swingable side and is used for inserting the shaft. The pivot side is pivotally disposed on the assembly surface of the fixing plate, allowing the ball bearing support plate to swing relative to the fixing plate between an extended position and a retracted position with the pivot side as a fulcrum, thereby selectively assembling the ball bearing support plate.

[0005] In another embodiment, an electronic device assembly is provided, including the aforementioned ball bearing holder, electronic device, and ball bearing. The electronic device has a housing. The ball bearing includes a shaft and a ball, the ball being connected to one end of the shaft and the other end of the shaft being connected to the housing. The ball bearing holder is used for assembling the ball bearing.

[0006] In summary, during the assembly of the ball shaft in the electronic device assembly of this embodiment, the ball shaft support plate can swing relative to the fixed plate to the unfolded position so that the ball shaft shaft can be quickly inserted into the slot of the ball shaft support plate and pre-limited. Then, the ball shaft support plate swings relative to the fixed plate to the retracted position, and the ball shaft support plate can be assembled and positioned by the assembly parts, thereby avoiding the electronic device from falling during the assembly process and greatly improving the safety and convenience of assembly.

[0065] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an embodiment of the electronic device component of the present invention. Figure 2 This is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the electronic device component of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a partial cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the electronic device component of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the electronic device assembly 1 of this embodiment of the invention includes a ball bearing bracket 10, a ball bearing 20, and an electronic device 30, wherein the electronic device 30 may be various electronic products such as a camera, a speaker, or a lamp.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ball shaft 20 is used to mount the electronic device 30, enabling the electronic device 30 to be assembled onto the ball shaft mounting bracket 10 via the ball shaft 20. In this embodiment, the ball shaft 20 includes a shaft 21 and a ball 25. The ball 25 is connected to one end of the shaft 21. For example, the ball 25 can be integrally connected to the end of the shaft 21, making the ball 25 and the shaft 21 a single-piece structure. Alternatively, the ball 25 and the shaft 21 can also be a modular structure; this is not a limitation. The other end of the shaft 21 can be connected to the housing 31 of the electronic device 30. In this embodiment, the shaft 21 of the ball shaft 20 is fixed to the housing 31 by a fastener 22. For example, the fastener 22 can be a rivet, screw or bolt, etc. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The end of the shaft 21 away from the ball 25 can also be fixed to the housing 31 of the electronic device 30 by other means such as screwing, snapping or adhesive. Alternatively, the shaft 21 of the ball shaft 20 and the electronic device 30 can be an integrally formed structure.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ball bearing mounting bracket 10 includes a fixing plate 11, an assembly member 12, and a ball bearing support plate 15. The fixing plate 11 can be used to mount to a fixed surface (e.g., a wall, ceiling, floor, or vehicle surface). In this embodiment, the fixing plate 11 includes an assembly surface 111, which may have one or more assembly portions 116 (here, multiple assembly portions 116). For example, the assembly portions 116 may be holes for fixing to the aforementioned fixed surface by rivets, screws, or bolts.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the assembly surface 111 of the fixing plate 11 has an inner groove 112 for assembling the ball 25 of the ball shaft 20. In this embodiment, the inner groove 112 is a hemispherical groove, and the curvature of the inner surface of the inner groove 112 matches the curvature of the surface of the ball 25, so that after the ball 25 is assembled into the inner groove 112, the ball 25 can move relative to the inner groove 112 and the smoothness of movement is improved. In some embodiments, the surface of the ball 25 and the inner surface of the inner groove 112 can contact each other to generate friction. When the ball shaft 20 moves relative to the inner groove 112, the friction between the ball 25 and the inner groove 112 can effectively prevent the ball 25 from continuing to move, thereby keeping the ball shaft 20 stably positioned at the moved angle.

[0069] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the assembly of the electronic device and ball bearing bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 To continue Figure 4 Assembly diagram, Figure 6 To continue Figure 5 Assembly diagram. (See attached diagram.) Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the ball bearing support plate 15 includes a pivot side 16, a swingable side 17, and a slot 18. The pivot side 16 is pivotally mounted on the assembly surface 111 of the fixed plate 11, allowing the ball bearing support plate 15 to swing relative to the fixed plate 11 in an unfolded position with the pivot side 16 as the fulcrum. Figure 4 and Figure 5 (as shown in the image) and the closing position (e.g.) Figure 1 and Figure 6 The distance between the swingable side 17 and the assembly surface 111 of the fixed plate 11 is changed between the positions shown. In this embodiment, the pivot side 16 of the ball bearing support plate 15 is pivotally mounted on the assembly surface 111 (as shown) via a pivot 40. Figure 2 (as shown), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0070] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the slot 18 of the ball shaft support plate 15 is located between the pivot side 16 and the swingable side 17 and is used for the insertion of the shaft 21 of the ball shaft 20. The maximum width W1 of the slot 18 is less than the diameter of the ball 25 of the ball shaft 20. In this way, when the shaft 21 of the ball shaft 20 is inserted into the slot 18, the ball 25 can be prevented from detaching from the ball shaft support plate 15, thereby limiting the assembly of the ball shaft 20 on the ball shaft support plate 15.

[0071] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, during the process of assembling the electronic device 30 with the ball shaft 20 onto the ball shaft mounting bracket 10, the operator can first swing the ball shaft support plate 15 relative to the mounting plate 11 to the unfolded position. When the ball shaft support plate 15 is in the unfolded position, there is an inclination angle A between the ball shaft support plate 15 and the mounting plate 11. The operator can hold the electronic device 30 and easily place the ball 25 of the ball shaft 20 on the electronic device 30 into the space between the ball shaft support plate 15 and the mounting plate 11, and insert the shaft 21 of the ball shaft 20 into the slot 18 of the ball shaft support plate 15, so that the electronic device 30 can be pre-positioned on the ball shaft support plate 15 (e.g., Figure 5 (As shown). Therefore, during the pre-positioning process of the aforementioned electronic device 30, the operator does not need to use any tools or perform complicated procedures, which greatly reduces the possibility of the electronic device 30 falling. In addition, during the subsequent assembly process, the operator no longer needs to hold the electronic device 30 to avoid the electronic device 30 falling during the assembly process, thereby greatly improving the safety and convenience of assembly.

[0072] In some embodiments, the tilt angle A between the aforementioned ball bearing support plate 15 and the fixing plate 11 can be determined according to the actual product requirements. For example, when the diameter of the ball 25 of the ball bearing 20 is larger, the tilt angle A between the ball bearing support plate 15 and the fixing plate 11 needs to be larger so that the ball 25 can be smoothly placed into the space between the ball bearing support plate 15 and the assembly surface 111.

[0073] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the connecting component 12 is disposed on the assembly surface 111 of the fixing plate 11 for assembling the ball shaft support plate 15. For example, the connecting component 12 and the ball shaft support plate 15 can be assembled by fastening or screwing, so that the two can still be disassembled and separated after assembly. When the ball shaft 20 on the electronic device 30 is pre-positioned on the ball shaft support plate 15 (e.g.) Figure 5 As shown), the operator can then apply force to push the ball bearing support plate 15 towards the assembly surface 111 of the fixed plate 11, causing the ball bearing support plate 15 to swing from the unfolded position to the retracted position (as shown). Figure 6 As shown), this drives the electronic device 30 and the ball shaft 20 to approach the fixed plate 11. When the ball shaft support plate 15 is in the retracted position, the position of the slot 18 of the ball shaft support plate 15 corresponds to the position of the inner groove 112, so that the ball 25 of the ball shaft 20 is assembled into the inner groove 112. Next, as shown... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the operator can operate the assembly component 12 to assemble the ball shaft support plate 15, so that the ball shaft support plate 15 together with the electronic device 30 is installed on the fixed plate 11, and the electronic device 30 can be adjusted in angle via the ball shaft 20.

[0074] Additionally, when the electronic device 30 needs to be detached from the ball bearing bracket 10, the operator can operate the assembly 12 to release the ball bearing support plate 15. The ball bearing support plate 15 can then swing away from the fixing plate 11, allowing the ball bearing support plate 15 to move from the aforementioned retracted position (e.g., Figure 6 (As shown) Swing to the unfolded position (as shown) Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, during the movement of the ball bearing support plate 15, the electronic device 30 remains fixed on the ball bearing support plate 15 via the ball bearing 20. Therefore, the operator does not need to hold the electronic device 30 to avoid it falling during disassembly. Then, when the ball bearing support plate 15 is in the unfolded position, the operator can hold the electronic device 30 and easily remove the ball bearing 20 from the slot 18 of the ball bearing support plate 15, thus completing the disassembly operation and significantly improving safety and convenience during disassembly.

[0075] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the slot 18 of the ball bearing support plate 15 includes an insertion port 181, a guide groove 182, and a ball receiving groove 183. The insertion port 181 is located on the swingable side 17, and the guide groove 182 connects the insertion port 181 and the ball receiving groove 183. The width W2 of the guide groove 182 is smaller than the width W1 of the ball receiving groove 183, and the width W2 of the guide groove 182 is greater than the width W3 of the shaft 21 of the ball bearing 20. The width W1 of the ball receiving groove 183 is smaller than the diameter of the ball 25 of the ball bearing 20. Please refer to this for further details. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during the process of assembling the electronic device 30 to the ball shaft fixing bracket 10, when the ball shaft support plate 15 is in the unfolded position, the operator can insert the shaft 21 of the ball shaft 20 on the electronic device 30 through the insertion port 181, so that the shaft 21 enters the ball receiving groove 183 along the guide groove 182. Then, after the operator releases the electronic device 30, the ball 25 can be confined in the ball receiving groove 183, so that the electronic device 30 is pre-confined on the ball shaft support plate 15. In addition, since the width W3 of the shaft 21 of the ball shaft 20 is smaller than the width W1 of the ball receiving groove 183, the shaft 21 can have sufficient swing space when the ball 25 moves relative to the inner groove 112 to adjust the angle of the electronic device 30. However, the above embodiment is only an example. In some embodiments, the insertion port 181 of the slot 18 can also be located on different sides of the ball shaft support plate 15, and the slot 18 can also be set into different shapes according to the actual product requirements.

[0076] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the sphere receiving groove 183 has an inner ring surface 184, the surface curvature of which corresponds to the surface curvature of the sphere 25. Thus, when the sphere 25 is confined within the sphere receiving groove 183, the inner ring surface 184 can be in close contact with the surface of the sphere 25, making the sphere 25 less prone to shaking during its movement relative to the inner groove 112 and thus more stable.

[0077] In some embodiments, the fixed plate 11 or the ball bearing support plate 15 may be provided with a stop member, so that when the ball bearing support plate 15 is in the unfolded position and has an inclination angle A with the fixed plate 11 (e.g., ...), when the ball bearing support plate 15 is in the unfolded position and has an inclination angle A with the fixed plate 11, ... Figure 5 As shown), the tilt angle A can be maintained by the stop member. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the assembly surface 111 of the fixing plate 11 may have one or more stops 113. In this embodiment, the stops 113 are plates and there are two stops. The two stops 113 are perpendicular to the fixing plate 11 and spaced apart from each other. When the ball bearing support plate 15 is in the unfolded position, the ball bearing support plate 15 can abut against the two stops 113 to maintain the aforementioned tilt angle A. Preferably, each stop 113 can abut against the pivot side 16 of the ball bearing support plate 15 (e.g., ...). Figure 5 As shown), this limits the rotation range of the pivot side 16, so that when the ball bearing support plate 15 swings to the unfolded position, the pivot side 16 can no longer rotate. Or, as... Figure 9 As shown, the stop member 19 can also be provided on the ball bearing support plate 15. In this embodiment, the stop member 19 extends integrally from the pivot side 16 of the ball bearing support plate 15. When the ball bearing support plate 15 is in the unfolded position, the stop member 19 abuts against the fixed plate 11 to maintain the aforementioned tilt angle A.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the assembly surface 111 of the fixing plate 11 has two limiting plates 114 and two reinforcing plates 115. The two limiting plates 114 are perpendicular to the fixing plate 11 and spaced apart from each other. When the ball shaft support plate 15 is in the retracted position, the ball shaft support plate 15 is confined between the two limiting plates 114 to prevent the ball shaft support plate 15 from shifting or deforming during the movement of the ball shaft 20 relative to the inner groove 112. The two reinforcing plates 115 are perpendicular to the fixing plate 11 and respectively connected to the two limiting plates 114 to enhance the overall structural strength of the ball shaft fixing frame 10 and to enhance the limiting effect of the two limiting plates 114 on the ball shaft support plate 15. Preferably, the two reinforcing plates 115 are respectively perpendicular to the corresponding limiting plates 114.

[0079] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the ball bearing support plate 15 has an inner surface 151 and an outer surface 152. The inner surface 151 faces the fixing plate 11. When the ball bearing support plate 15 is in the retracted position, the connecting member 12 is connected and fixed to the outer surface 152, so that the ball bearing support plate 15 is installed on the fixing plate 11. However, this is not limited. In some embodiments, the connecting member 12 can also be connected to any other position of the ball bearing support plate 15.

[0080] like Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the outer surface 152 of the ball bearing support plate 15 may have at least one fastening groove 153. The connecting member 12 may include at least one fastener 121, and the fastener 121 is used to connect to the fastening groove 153. In some embodiments, the number of fasteners 121 and the number of fastening grooves 153 may correspond to each other. For example, the number of fasteners 121 and the number of fastening grooves 153 may both be one or two; or, the number of fastening grooves 153 may be multiple, the number of fasteners 121 may be one, and the fastener 121 may be used to connect to multiple fastening grooves 153 simultaneously; or, the number of fastening grooves 153 may be one, the number of fasteners 121 may be multiple, and multiple fasteners 121 may be used to connect to the same fastening groove 153. This is not limited.

[0081] like Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the ball bearing support plate 15 has two buckle slots 153, and the two buckle slots 153 are located on opposite sides of the slot 18. The assembly 12 includes two fasteners 121 and a bracket 125. The bracket 125 has a first end 1251 and a second end 1252. The first end 1251 is pivotally mounted on the fixed plate 11. For example, the first end 1251 of the bracket 125 can be pivotally mounted on the fixed plate 11 through a pivot 41, so that the bracket 125 can swing relative to the fixed plate 11 with the first end 1251 as the fulcrum.

[0082] like Figure 2 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the two fasteners 121 of the assembly 12 are respectively pivotally mounted on the second end 1252 of the bracket 125. For example, each fastener 121 can be pivotally mounted on the second end 1252 of the bracket 125 via a pivot 42, so that each fastener 121 can rotate relative to the bracket 125 to be assembled into the respective fastening slots 153 of the ball bearing support plate 15 by rotation. Specifically, when the ball bearing 20 on the electronic device 30 is pre-positioned on the ball bearing support plate 15 and swings from the unfolded position to the retracted position (e.g., Figure 6As shown, the operator can first operate the bracket 125 of the assembly piece 12 to swing relative to the fixed plate 11, so that the bracket 125 is inserted into the slot 18 of the ball bearing support plate 15. Then, each fastener 121 is rotated relative to the bracket 125, so that each fastener 121 is assembled into the corresponding slot 153 of the ball bearing support plate 15 and fixed to the outer surface 152 of the ball bearing support plate 15. In addition, during the aforementioned rotation of the fastener 121 relative to the bracket 125, the fastener 121 can press against the swingable side 17 of the ball bearing support plate 15, so as to cause the ball bearing support plate 15 to undergo slight deformation, so that each fastener 121 can smoothly enter and fasten into the corresponding slot 153.

[0083] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, each fastener 121 includes a first fastening plate 122, a second fastening plate 123, and a pivot portion 124. The pivot portion 124 is located between the first fastening plate 122 and the second fastening plate 123, and the first fastening plates 122 of the two fasteners 121 are connected to each other (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), the two fasteners 121 can move synchronously when operated by the user, but this is not a limitation; the two fasteners 121 can also be independent components. The first fastening plate 122 and the second fastening plate 123 of each fastener 121 have different extending directions and form an included angle R. Here, the included angle R between the first fastening plate 122 and the second fastening plate 123 is an obtuse angle, but this is not a limitation. The pivot portion 124 of each fastener 121 is pivotally mounted to the second end 1252 of the bracket 125. For example, the pivot portion 124 can be pivotally mounted to the second end 1252 of the bracket 125 via a pivot 42 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown, the first buckle plate 122 has a first side surface 1221, and the second buckle plate 123 has a second side surface 1231. In this embodiment, the second side surface 1231 is the surface between the end 1232 of the second buckle plate 123 and the first side surface 1221. When the fastener 121 is assembled in each buckle groove 153, the first side surface 1221 of the first buckle plate 122 can abut against the swingable side 17 of the ball bearing support plate 15, and the second side surface 1231 of the second buckle plate 123 abuts against the outer surface 152 of the ball bearing support plate 15. Thus, through the above-mentioned special buckle design, the fastener 121 can be prevented from rotating due to the pressure of the ball bearing support plate 15, thereby achieving a stronger fixing effect of the fastener 121.

[0084] However, the above embodiments are merely examples. Preferably, each fastener 121 can also abut against the buckle groove 153 of the ball bearing support plate 15 via the end 1232 of the second fastener 123 or the area adjacent to the end 1232, and abut against the swingable side 17 of the ball bearing support plate 15 via the first side 1221 of the first fastener 122, so that the second fastener 123 in the first direction (e.g., Figure 8 (counterclockwise direction of view) or a second direction (such as) Figure 8In the clockwise direction of the viewing angle, the second buckle 123 is limited by the curvature of the buckle groove 153 and is confined within the buckle groove 153, making it difficult to detach from the ball bearing support plate 15. On the other hand, the second buckle 123 in the second direction (such as...) Figure 8 From a clockwise perspective, the second buckle 123 can be more securely fastened into the buckle groove 153 by being in contact with the first buckle plate 122 and the ball shaft support plate 15.

[0085] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the assembly of the electronic device and ball bearing retainer according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 To continue Figure 9 Assembly diagram, Figure 11 To continue Figure 10 Assembly diagram. (See attached diagram.) Figures 9 to 11 As shown, this embodiment is similar to the one described above. Figures 5 to 7 The difference in the embodiments is at least that the connecting member 12a in this embodiment includes a locking member 126 and a bracket 127. The bracket 127 has a pivot end 1271 and a swing end 1272. The pivot end 1271 is pivotally mounted on the fixed plate 11, so that the bracket 127 can swing relative to the fixed plate 11 with the pivot end 1271 as the fulcrum. The locking member 126 is disposed on the swing end 1272 of the bracket 127. In this embodiment, the locking member 126 is a nut and screwed into the swing end 1272 of the bracket 127, so that the locking member 126 can rotate relative to the bracket 127.

[0086] In this way, such as Figures 9 to 11 As shown, when the ball shaft 20 on the electronic device 30 is pre-positioned on the ball shaft support plate 15 and swings from the unfolded position to the retracted position, the operator can first operate the bracket 127 of the assembly part 12a to swing relative to the fixed plate 11, so that the bracket 127 is inserted into the slot 18 of the ball shaft support plate 15. Then, the locking fastener 126 is rotated relative to the bracket 127, so that the locking fastener 126 is locked to the outer surface 152 of the ball shaft support plate 15.

[0087] Although the technical content of the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications and refinements made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
