In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0030] The various specific technical features and embodiments described in the specific implementation methods can be combined in any suitable manner unless there is any contradiction. For example, different implementation methods can be formed by combining different specific technical features / embodiments. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features / embodiments in the present utility model will not be described separately.

[0031] The utility model provides a locking control component, see Figures 1 to 9 The locking control component 100 can be used to lock and unlock between a first object and a second object. The locking control component 100 includes a fixed bracket 10, a locking member 20 and an elastic support component 30; wherein the fixed bracket 10 can be fixed to the first object; the locking member 20 is connected to the fixed bracket 10, and the locking member 20 includes a locking portion 21, and the locking portion 21 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the fixed bracket 10; one end of the elastic support component 30 is connected to the fixed bracket 10, and the other end of the elastic support component 30 is connected to the locking member 20, and the elastic support component 30 is used to control the locking portion 21 to switch between the first position and the second position, so that the locking portion 21 is respectively connected to or separated from the second object, thereby respectively realizing the locking and unlocking between the first object and the second object. In the prior art, the fixing bracket and the locking piece are integrally formed into a button bracket. To meet the needs of high shape complexity and high material performance, the button bracket is generally produced by high-tech methods such as MIM. However, the fixing bracket 10 and the locking piece 20 in the utility model are split structures. At this time, the fixing bracket 10 does not need to have high shape complexity and high material performance, so there is no need to use high-tech methods such as MIM to produce it, thereby reducing production costs, and the thickness of the fixing bracket 10 only needs to meet the fixing requirements. Compared with the fixing bracket in the button bracket of the prior art, the thickness of the fixing bracket 10 of the utility model is reduced, thereby being able to reduce the thickness of the locking control component 100.

[0032] It can be understood that when the elastic support component 30 is in the original state (that is, when the locking piece 20 is not subjected to external force), the locking portion 21 is located in the first position, at which time the locking portion 21 can be connected to the second object, and the locking portion 21 locks the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state; when the user presses the locking piece 20 connected to the elastic support component 30, the elastic support component 30 is in a compressed state, and the locking portion 21 moves to the second position, at which time the locking piece 20 is separated from the second object, and the locking piece 20 cancels the lock, so that the first object and the second object are in an unlocked state; when the user cancels pressing the locking piece 20, the elastic support component 30 is released and reset to the original state, and the elastic support component 30 drives the locking portion 21 to move to the first position, at which time the locking portion 21 can be connected to the second object, and the locking portion 21 locks the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state.

[0033] It is understandable that the locking control component 100 can be applied to mobile terminals such as flippable watches (such as phone watches). Specifically, the watch may include a host and a base, in which case the first object may be the host, the second object may be the base, or the first object may be the base and the second object may be the host. In addition, one end of the host and the base may be rotatably connected by a connecting device so that the host can be flipped relative to one end of the base. The locking control component 100 may be provided at the other end of the host (or the base), and the locking element 20 in the locking control component 100 may be connected to or separated from the base (or the host), respectively, so as to achieve locking and unlocking between the host and the base. Of course, the above is only an example of the application of the locking control component 100, and the scope of application of the locking control component 100 of the utility model is not limited thereto.

[0034] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0035] First embodiment:

[0036] The utility model embodiment provides a locking control component, see Figures 1 to 5 The locking control component 100 is used for locking and unlocking between a first object and a second object. The locking control component 100 includes a fixed bracket 10, a locking member 20 and an elastic support assembly 30; the fixed bracket 10 can be fixed to the first object; the locking member 20 is connected to the fixed bracket 10, and the locking member 20 includes a locking portion 21, and the locking portion 21 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the fixed bracket 10; one end of the elastic support assembly 30 is connected to the fixed bracket 10, and the other end of the elastic support assembly 30 is connected to the locking member 20, and the elastic support assembly 30 is used to control the locking portion 21 to switch between the first position and the second position, so that the locking portion 21 is respectively connected to or separated from the second object, thereby respectively realizing the locking and unlocking between the first object and the second object.

[0037] For the fixing bracket 10, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Preferably, the fixing bracket 10 can be a metal stamping part, which can meet the fixing requirements, be simple and convenient to manufacture, and have low cost. Compared with the fixing bracket 10 in the key bracket of the prior art, the thickness of the fixing bracket 10 is reduced, thereby reducing the thickness of the locking control component 100. Of course, the specific material and processing method of the fixing bracket 10 of the utility model are not limited to this, as long as the use requirements are met.

[0038] In practical applications, the cost of the locking control component 100 of this embodiment can be reduced by about 28.9% compared with the prior art; the thickness of the locking control component 100 of this embodiment can be reduced by 0.4 to 0.5 mm compared with the prior art.

[0039] Preferably, the fixing bracket 10 may include a bracket body 11 and a connecting portion 12 connected to the bracket body 11 , the bracket body 11 is fixed to the first object via a fixing member 40 , and the connecting portion 12 is used to connect to the locking member 20 .

[0040] Specifically, the bracket body 11 may be in the shape of a plate and attached to the first object to be better fixed to the first object; the connecting portion 12 may be obtained by extending one side of the bracket body 11 along the thickness direction of the bracket body 11, so as to facilitate the connection of the locking member 20. Of course, the specific shape of the fixing bracket 10 is not limited thereto, as long as the fixing bracket 10 can install one end of the locking member 20 on the first object.

[0041] It is understandable that the fixing member 40 may be a screw or a stud, etc., which can be inserted into the bracket body 11 and the first object to fix the bracket body 11 to the first object.

[0042] For the locking member 20, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 Preferably, the locking member 20 may further include a locking body 22 connected to the locking portion 21, wherein the locking body 22 is used to realize the connection between the locking portion 21 and the fixed bracket 10, and the locking portion 21 is used to move between the first position and the second position to realize connection with or separation from the second object, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking of the first object and the second object.

[0043] Specifically, the locking body 22 can be slidably connected or rotatably connected to the fixed bracket 10, and one end of the locking portion 21 is fixedly connected, rotatably connected, or slidably connected to the locking body 22; or, the locking body 22 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 10, and one end of the locking portion 21 is slidably connected or rotatably connected to the locking body 22; and the other end of the locking portion 21 is used to connect with the second object to lock or to separate from the second object to unlock. Of course, the utility model is not limited to the connection method of the locking body 22 and the fixed bracket 10, and the connection method of the locking portion 21 and the locking body 22, as long as the switching of the locking portion 21 between the first position and the second position can be conveniently realized to realize the locking and unlocking of the first object and the second object.

[0044] In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 12 may be provided with a rotating hole 121, and the locking body 22 may be provided with a clamping structure 221 corresponding to the rotating hole 121, and the clamping structure 221 may be rotatably clamped to the rotating hole 121, and one end of the locking portion 21 may be fixedly connected or rotatably connected to the locking body 22. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the locking body 22 may be rotatably connected to the fixing bracket 10, one end of the locking portion 21 may be fixedly connected to the locking body 22, and the other end of the locking portion 21 may be used to connect and lock with the second object or to separate and unlock with the second object; when the elastic support component 30 is in the original state (that is, when the locking member 20 is not subjected to external force), the locking portion 21 is located in the first position, at which time the locking portion 21 may be connected to the second object, and the locking portion 21 may lock the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state; when the user presses the elastic support component to connect 30, the elastic support component 30 is in a compressed state, and the locking part 21 rotates from the first position to the second position. At this time, the locking component 20 is separated from the second object, and the locking component 20 cancels the lock, so that the first object and the second object are in an unlocked state; when the user cancels pressing the locking component 20, the elastic support component 30 is released and reset to the original state, and the elastic support component 30 drives the locking part 21 to rotate to the first position. At this time, the locking part 21 can be connected with the second object, and the locking part 21 locks the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state.

[0045] Specifically, the clamping structure 221 may be a clamping block or the like.

[0046] For the locking body 22, preferably, the locking body 22 can also include a connecting frame 222 and a connecting arm 223 connected to the connecting frame 222, and the connecting arm 223 is connected to the locking portion 21. In this embodiment, when the connecting frame 222 drives the connecting arm 223 to move, the connecting arm 223 can drive the locking portion 21 to move between the first position and the second position.

[0047] In this embodiment, please combine Figures 1 to 3The connecting arm 223 can be connected to the connecting portion 12 of the fixed bracket 10, and the connecting frame 222 can be connected between the clamping structure 221 of the connecting arm 223 and the position of the locking portion 21. In this way, the connecting arm 223 is used as a lever, and the position of the clamping structure 221 of the connecting arm 223 is the rotation fulcrum O of the lever. The force arm L1 of the connecting frame 222 is smaller than the force arm L2 of the locking portion 21. Therefore, when the connecting frame 222 is pressed, the swing range of the connecting frame 222 will be smaller than the swing range of the locking portion 21. That is, when the user presses a small distance, the locking portion 21 can also have a larger swing range. This is not only convenient to use, but also due to the reduction in the movement distance of the connecting frame 222, the possibility of deformation of the connecting frame 222 is also reduced.

[0048] Preferably, the two connecting arms 223 can be respectively arranged at the two ends of the connecting frame 222, and the two locking parts 21 are respectively connected to one end of each connecting arm 223 away from the connecting frame 222. When the locking member 20 moves, the locking parts 21 at both ends also move together, which not only makes the movement more balanced and stable, but also after one locking part 21 is bent and deformed, the other locking part 21 can continue to be used, thereby improving the reliability of the locking control component 100. Furthermore, the fixing bracket 10 can also be two, or the fixing bracket 10 is provided with two connecting parts 12, so as to facilitate the connection of the connecting arm 223 to the fixing bracket 10.

[0049] Preferably, the connecting frame 222 may be in the shape of a bridge with a raised middle portion, so that it is convenient for the user to press the middle portion of the connecting frame 222 .

[0050] As for the locking portion 21, preferably, the locking portion 21 can be a hook to facilitate connection or separation with the second object. Of course, the utility model does not limit the specific structure of the locking portion 21, as long as it can be connected or separated with the second object, for example, the locking portion 21 can be a buckle or a slot (the second object can be provided with a corresponding snap-on structure 221).

[0051] For the elastic support assembly 30, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Preferably, the elastic support assembly 30 may include a support rod 31 and an elastic member 32; the locking body 22 and / or the locking portion 21 are provided with a connecting hole; the support rod 31 is inserted into the connecting hole, and the elastic member 32 is sleeved on the support rod 31, and the elastic member 32 abuts between the first object and the locking body 22, and / or between the first object and the locking portion 21, thereby providing elastic force for the locking portion 21, so that the locking portion 21 can switch between the first position and the second position.

[0052] It can be understood that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the elastic support component 30, and the utility model is not limited to the specific structure of the elastic support component 30. For example, the support rod 31 can be a pin (as shown in Figure 2) or a support column (as shown in Figure 8), etc.; for example, the elastic member 32 can be a spring (as shown in Figure 2) or other elastic elements such as an elastic washer; for another example, the elastic support component 30 can include an electric elastic telescopic member. When the user energizes the electric elastic telescopic member, the electric elastic telescopic member contracts and drives the locking portion 21 to move from the first position to the second position, thereby separating the locking portion 21 from the second object, and the locking portion 21 cancels the lock, and the first object and the second object are in an unlocked state; when the user stops energizing the electric elastic telescopic member, the electric elastic telescopic member resets and drives the locking portion 21 to move from the second position to the first position, the locking portion 21 is connected to the second object, and the locking member 20 locks the first object and the second object, and the first object and the second object are in a locked state.

[0053] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The locking control component 100 may further include a key cap 50 for pressing, and the key cap 50 is arranged on the connecting frame 222, so as to facilitate the user to press.

[0054] Preferably, a pressing structure 51 for easy pressing may be provided on the key cap 50. The pressing structure 51 may be a structure such as a groove or a convex point, so as to play an anti-slip role and further improve the convenience of user operation.

[0055] In other embodiments, a pressing sleeve may also be provided on the key cap 50 , and the pressing sleeve may be a soft component such as a rubber component, so as to improve the user's comfort.

[0056] Preferably, the key cap 50 and the connecting frame 222 may be integrally formed for easy assembly.

[0057] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The locking control component 100 further includes a fixing cover 60 covering the fixing bracket 10 and the locking member 20, and the fixing cover 60 is connected to the first object through a fastener; and a through hole 61 is provided on the fixing cover 60, and the key cap 50 is installed in the through hole 61. In this way, under the fixing effect of the fixing cover 60, not only can the fixing bracket 10 and the locking member 20 be protected, but also the installation position and movement trajectory of the key cap 50 can be limited, so that the key cap 50 can move relative to the fixing cover 60. Optionally, the fastener can be a screw or a stud, etc., which has a good connection stability and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0058] Preferably, the fixed cover 60 may be provided with a limiting groove facing the locking member 20 for limiting the movement of the locking member 20 , thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the locking member 20 , reducing the collision between the locking member 20 and other components, and increasing the service life of the locking control component 100 .

[0059] Second embodiment:

[0060] The second embodiment of the utility model provides a locking control component 100, see Figure 6 The difference between the locking control component 100 of the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that: the connecting portion 12 is provided with a sliding hole 122, and the locking body 22 is provided with a clamping structure 221 corresponding to the sliding hole 122, and the clamping structure 221 is slidably clamped in the sliding hole 122, so that the locking portion 21 can slide between the first position and the second position. Specifically, the clamping structure 221 can be a clamping block, etc.

[0061] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the locking body 22 is slidably connected to the fixed bracket 10, one end of the locking portion 21 is fixedly connected to the locking body 22, and the other end of the locking portion 21 is used to connect and lock with the second object or to separate and unlock with the second object; when the elastic support assembly 30 is in the original state (that is, when the locking member 20 is not subjected to external force), the locking portion 21 is located in the first position, at which time the locking portion 21 can be connected to the second object, and the locking portion 21 locks the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state; when the user presses the elastic support assembly 30 to connect When the locking piece 20 of the component 30 is pressed, the elastic support component 30 is in a compressed state, and the locking part 21 slides from the first position to the second position. At this time, the locking piece 20 is separated from the second object, and the locking piece 20 is unlocked, so that the first object and the second object are in an unlocked state; when the user cancels pressing the locking piece 20, the elastic support component 30 is released and reset to the original state, and the elastic support component 30 drives the locking part 21 to slide to the first position. At this time, the locking part 21 can be connected to the second object, and the locking part 21 locks the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state.

[0062] Preferably, in this embodiment, the key cap 50 and the connecting frame 222 may be integrally formed for easy assembly.

[0063] In practical applications, the cost of the locking control component 100 of this embodiment can be reduced by about 28.9% compared with the prior art; the thickness of the locking control component 100 of the present invention can be reduced by 0.6 to 0.8 mm compared with the prior art.

[0064] Third embodiment:

[0065] The third embodiment of the present invention provides a locking control component 100, see Figures 7 to 9 The locking control component 100 of the third embodiment is different from that of the second embodiment in that: the locking member 20 also includes a rotating shaft 23, and the locking portion 21 is rotatably connected to the locking body 22 via the rotating shaft 23, so that the locking portion 21 can swing around the rotating shaft 23 as the rotation center, which facilitates the rotation of the locking portion 21 between the first position and the second position, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement and the reliability of the unlocking and locking movements.

[0066] In this embodiment, the elastic support assembly 30 may be disposed between the locking portion 21 and the locking body 22, and is used to control the switching of the locking portion 21 between the first position and the second position. Figure 7 and Figure 8The rotating shaft 23 is connected to the middle part of the locking part 21, one end of the locking part 21 is used to rotate between the first position and the second position, the other end of the locking part 21 is arranged behind the locking body 22 (i.e. the direction of the locking body 22 close to the first object), and the elastic support component 30 is arranged between the other end of the locking part 21 and the locking body 22. Pressing the elastic support component 30 can directly control the connection or separation of the locking part 21 and the second object, which improves the user's feel.

[0067] Further, in this embodiment, the elastic support assembly 30 may include two groups, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In addition to the above-mentioned elastic support components 30, another group of the elastic support components 30 can abut between the fixed bracket 10 and the locking body 22, so that when pressed, the elastic support components 30 provide elastic force between the fixed bracket 10 and the locking body 22, further improving the user's feel.

[0068] It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the locking body 22 is slidably connected to the fixing bracket 10, one end of the locking portion 21 is rotatably connected to the locking body 22, and the other end of the locking portion 21 is used to connect and lock with the second object or to separate and unlock with the second object; when the elastic support component 30 is in the original state (that is, when the locking member is not subjected to external force), the locking portion 21 is located in the first position, at which time the locking portion 21 can be connected to the second object, and the locking portion 21 locks the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state; when the user presses the elastic support component 30 connected When the locking member 20 is in a stressed state, the elastic supporting assembly 30 is compressed, and the locking portion 21 moves to the second position. At this time, the locking member 20 is separated from the second object, and the locking member 20 cancels the lock, so that the first object and the second object are in an unlocked state; when the user cancels pressing the locking member 20, the elastic supporting assembly 30 is released and reset to the original state, and the elastic supporting assembly 30 drives the locking portion 21 to move to the first position. At this time, the locking portion 21 can be connected to the second object, and the locking portion 21 locks the first object and the second object, so that the first object and the second object are in a locked state.

[0069] Of course, the location of the elastic support component 30 is not limited thereto, as long as it can facilitate the switching of the locking portion 21 between the first position and the second position. For example, the elastic support component 30 can be located between the fixed bracket 10 and the locking portion 21.

[0070] Preferably, in this embodiment, the key cap 50 and the connecting frame 222 may be integrally formed for easy assembly.

[0071] In practical applications, the thickness of the locking control component 100 of the present invention can be reduced by about 0.3 mm compared to the prior art.

[0072] The utility model also provides a mobile terminal, including a host and a base, and also includes the locking control component 100, the locking control component 100 is installed on one side of the host, and is used to connect or separate with the base to achieve locking and unlocking between the host and the base.

[0073] Preferably, the host and the side of the base away from the locking control component can be movably connected by a connecting device, so that the host can be flipped around one side relative to the base; and the locking control component 100 can be used to be connected to the base to achieve locking between the host and the base, or to be separated from the base to achieve unlocking between the host and the base, so that the host and the base can be flipped relative to each other.

[0074] The utility model provides a locking control component and a mobile terminal, wherein the locking control component 100 is used for locking and unlocking between a first object and a second object, and the locking control component 100 comprises: a fixed bracket 10, a locking piece 20 and an elastic support assembly 30; the fixed bracket 10 can be fixed to the first object; the locking piece 20 is connected to the fixed bracket 10, and the locking piece 20 comprises a locking portion 21, and the locking portion 21 can move between a first position and a second position relative to the fixed bracket 10; one end of the elastic support assembly 30 is connected to the fixed bracket 10, and the other end of the elastic support assembly 30 is connected to the locking piece 20, and the elastic support assembly 30 is used to control the locking portion 21 to switch between the first position and the second position, thereby respectively realizing locking and unlocking between the first object and the second object. In the prior art, the fixing bracket and the locking piece are integrally formed into a button bracket. To meet the needs of high shape complexity and high material performance, the button bracket is generally produced by high-tech methods such as MIM. However, the fixing bracket 10 and the locking piece 20 in the utility model are split structures. At this time, the fixing bracket 10 does not need to have high shape complexity and high material performance, so there is no need to use high-tech methods such as MIM to produce it, thereby reducing production costs, and the thickness of the fixing bracket 10 only needs to meet the fixing requirements. Compared with the fixing bracket in the button bracket of the prior art, the thickness of the fixing bracket 10 of the utility model is reduced, thereby being able to reduce the thickness of the locking control component 100.
