[0036] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is described in detail.

[0037] The present utility model embodiment provides a navigator 1000, which is applied to vehicle navigation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the navigator 1000 includes a housing 10 and a bracket 20. The bracket 20 includes a support member 21, and the support member 21 is in a first direction (such as Figure 1 The support member 21 is movably connected to the housing 10 (shown in the X direction in FIG. 1 ), and a connecting structure 22 is provided on the support member 21. The connecting structure 22 is exposed outside the housing 10, and the connecting structure 22 is used to connect a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can be an electronic product such as a mobile phone or a tablet. The navigator 1000 of the present application integrates a bracket 20 for fixing the mobile terminal, and the position of the bracket 20 is adjustable, so as to provide a better user experience.

[0038] Specifically, a bracket 20 is installed on the shell 10 of the navigator 1000, and a support member 21 of the bracket 20 is movably connected to the shell 10 in a first direction so that it can move in the first direction. The user can fix the mobile terminal to the support member 21 through the connecting structure 22 on the side exposed by the shell 10, and then adjust the relative position of the support member 21 and the shell 10, thereby adjusting the distance between itself and the mobile terminal, so as to facilitate the operation and viewing of mobile phone information during driving. It can be seen that the navigator 1000 of the present application can effectively improve the user experience.

[0039] In the present application, there are many ways to set the connection structure 22. In one embodiment, the connection structure 22 can be directly connected to the mobile terminal. For example, the connection structure 22 is a magnet and is connected to the mobile terminal by magnetic attraction. In another example, the connection structure 22 is two oppositely arranged clamping plates and is connected to the mobile terminal by clamping. In another embodiment, the connection structure 22 can be indirectly connected to the mobile terminal. Figure 1 and Figure 2In a specific embodiment, the bracket 20 also includes a ball head seat 221, and the ball head seat 221 includes a mounting portion 2211 and a universal sphere 2212 connected to the mounting portion 2211; the mounting portion 2211 is detachably connected to the other end of the support member 21, and the universal sphere 2212 is used to connect a fixing mechanism, and the fixing mechanism is used to connect a mobile terminal. More specifically, the navigator 1000 also includes a fixing mechanism (not shown in the figure), and a universal ball seat (not shown in the figure) is provided on the fixing mechanism, and the universal ball seat is detachably connected to the universal sphere 2212. The advantage of such a setting is that, on the first hand, the fixing mechanism can be freely rotated 360° along the universal sphere 2212, so that the user can adjust the mobile terminal to the most comfortable viewing angle according to his or her body shape, which is more ergonomic. Secondly, the universal ball 2212 of the ball head seat 221 is detachably connected to the fixing mechanism, so that the fixing mechanism can be set to various types according to different mobile terminals, thereby making the navigator 1000 adaptable to more types of mobile terminals and having a wider range of applications.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that since the fixing mechanism is detachably connected to the ball head seat 221, more supporting solutions can be provided to users. The fixing mechanism can be sold together with the navigator 1000, or the user can purchase it by himself. The navigator 1000 has good flexibility and can better meet the needs of users.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are many ways to set up the fixing mechanism. In the first embodiment, the fixing component includes a fixing seat (not shown in the figure), a first spring (not shown in the figure) and two clamping claws (not shown in the figure), the two clamping claws are movably connected to the two sides of the fixing seat, the first spring is clamped between the two clamping claws, and the first spring is used to drive the two clamping claws to move toward each other to clamp the mobile terminal. In the second embodiment, the fixing component includes a fixing seat (not shown in the figure), and a magnetic suction member (not shown in the figure) is provided in the fixing seat. The magnetic suction member is connected to the mobile terminal by magnetic attraction, wherein the magnetic suction member can be a magnet. In the third embodiment, it is a combination of the first embodiment and the second embodiment. With such a configuration, the fixing component can be securely connected to the mobile terminal, and it is convenient for users to install and disassemble.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 Further, the mounting portion 2211 is located in the second direction of the universal sphere (eg Figure 6 The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the mounting portion 2211 is rotatably connected to one end of the support member 21, and its rotation centerline is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. In this way, the ball seat can rotate relative to the support member 21 to adjust the angle between it and the support member 21, so that the display screen of the mobile terminal faces the driving position, which is convenient for the driver to view.

[0043] Specifically, the mounting portion 2211 includes two connecting ears 2211 a arranged opposite to each other in the second direction. The two connecting ears 2211 a are arranged on both sides of the supporting member 21 and are rotatably connected to the supporting member 21, so that the rotation is more stable.

[0044] In the present application, the housing 10 has an internal space, and the internal space is used to install the liquid crystal panel and the control module. The display surface of the liquid crystal panel is exposed outside the housing 10, and preferably, the display screen can be a touch screen, which is convenient for the user to directly touch and operate the navigator 1000.

[0045] The housing 10 includes a middle frame and a front cover plate, which together define an internal space. The middle frame and the front cover plate are detachably connected to facilitate the installation of a display screen and a control module. Exemplarily, the middle frame and the front cover plate are assembled by threaded connection.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the support member 21 is provided with a plurality of limiting teeth 211 arranged at intervals along the first direction, and a positioning groove 212 is formed between two limiting teeth 211. The housing 10 is provided with a positioning protrusion 121 adapted to the positioning groove 212. In this way, after adjustment, the positioning protrusion 121 can cooperate with the corresponding positioning groove to maintain the relative position of the support member 21, avoid the support member 21 from being offset or shaking during the vehicle driving process, and improve the stability and reliability of the bracket 20.

[0047] Specifically, the positioning groove 212 and the positioning protrusion 121 are both tooth-shaped, so that the two can fully contact each other when they are matched, and maintain a firm connection.

[0048] Preferably, the supporting member 21 is provided with a plurality of limiting teeth 211 arranged at intervals along the first direction on opposite sides, and two positioning protrusions 121 are provided in the outer shell 10. The two positioning protrusions 121 respectively cooperate with the positioning grooves 212 on both sides, so that the supporting member 21 is subjected to more uniform force when maintaining the adjusted position, which can effectively reduce the shaking and loss of position of the supporting member 21.

[0049] Furthermore, a plurality of positioning protrusions 121 are provided, and the plurality of positioning protrusions 121 cooperate with the corresponding positioning grooves 212 to provide more supporting points, so that the support member 21 is less likely to be displaced after the position is adjusted.

[0050] Reference Figure 2In one embodiment, the housing 10 includes two side surfaces 13 arranged opposite to each other in a first direction, one of the side surfaces 13 is provided with an opening 11, a guide groove 12 communicating with the opening 11 is provided in the housing 10, the guide groove 12 is extended in the first direction, and the support member 21 is slidably connected to the guide groove 12 and penetrates the opening 11. In this way, the guide groove 12 can provide guidance for the support member 21, which is more conducive to the smooth sliding of the support member 21 and reduces jamming. The guide groove 12 is located inside the housing 10, and a part of the support member 21 can be hidden in the housing 10 while adjusting the support member 21, so that the overall aesthetics is better. In addition, when the support member 21 is not needed, the support member 21 can be completely retracted into the housing to reduce the space occupied in the vehicle.

[0051] Specifically, the opening 11 is provided on one of the side surfaces 13 , and the side surface 13 is disposed close to the driving position, so that the support member 21 is closer to the driver, which is more convenient for the driver to adjust the position of the support member 21 and to check and operate the mobile phone.

[0052] It should be noted that, by implementing this embodiment, the user can flexibly choose whether to use the mobile terminal fixing function according to needs, which improves the flexibility of use and can also effectively utilize the space in the car.

[0053] Preferably, the opening 11 extends in the first direction and passes through the back surface 14 of the housing 10 to form a receiving groove 15, so that when the support member 21 is retracted into the housing, one end of the support member 21 can be hidden in the receiving groove 15 and at least partially exposed on the back surface 14 of the housing 10. The advantage of such a design is that when it is needed, the user can contact the support member 21 from the back surface 14 of the housing 10, so that it is convenient for the user to push out the support member 21. Specifically, one end of the support member 21 is adapted to the shape of the receiving groove 15 to reduce the gap between the two, so that the retracted support member 21 and the housing 10 are more unified in overall appearance.

[0054] Refer again Figure 2 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the groove wall of the guide groove 12 is provided with a fixing groove 122 arranged opposite to the positioning groove 212, and the navigator 1000 further includes an elastic metal member 30, which is installed at the fixing groove 122, and the elastic metal member 30 has a positioning protrusion 121, and the positioning protrusion 121 is exposed outside the fixing groove 122. In this way, the fixing groove 122 can limit the installation of the elastic metal member 30, so that it does not move when it cooperates with the positioning groove 212, thereby improving the positioning effect. By setting the elastic metal member 30, since it has a certain elastic deformation performance, when the support member 21 is moved by the force, the elastic metal member 30 is compressed and deformed, so that it is easier to move between the two positioning grooves 212, reducing the jamming during the adjustment process, and after the positioning protrusion 121 is placed in the positioning groove 212, it can quickly return to its original state to maintain the positioning effect. In addition, since the housing 10 is usually made of plastic material, by configuring the positioning protrusion 121 to be an elastic metal piece 30 made of metal material, it can have better wear resistance, thereby improving the overall durability of the navigator 1000.

[0055] Specifically, a plurality of elastic metal parts 30 are arranged, and a plurality of elastic metal parts 30 are arranged at intervals in the first direction to form a set of elastic metal parts 30, and two sets of the set of elastic metal parts 30 are arranged, and the guide groove 12 includes two opposite side groove walls perpendicular to the first direction, and the two sets of elastic metal parts 30 are relatively arranged on the two side groove walls to provide a more secure positioning effect.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that the positioning protrusion 121 is separately arranged on the elastic metal part 30. When the positioning protrusion 121 is accidentally damaged, there is no need to replace the entire shell 10, but only the elastic metal part 30 needs to be replaced, which not only reduces the complexity of maintenance, but also greatly reduces the maintenance cost.

[0057] Furthermore, the fixing groove 122 includes a receiving portion 122a and a narrowing portion 122b, the receiving portion 122a is disposed on a side of the narrowing portion 122b away from the support member 21, the elastic metal member 30 includes an end portion 31 connected to the positioning protrusion 121, the end portion 31 is mounted on the receiving portion 122a, and the positioning protrusion 121 is passed through the narrowing portion 122b; wherein the length of the narrowing portion 122b in the first direction (such as Figure 4 ) is smaller than the length of the accommodation portion 122a (as shown in D1 in FIG. Figure 4 As shown in D2 in the figure, the end portion 31 is limitedly installed in the receiving portion 122a. Such a configuration improves the firm connection between the elastic metal member 30 and the fixing seat, and improves the stability of the connection between the two.

[0058] Specifically, the elastic metal part 30 includes two interconnected end parts 31, which are arranged to face each other in a first direction and abut against the connection between the accommodating portion 122a and the narrowing portion 122b. The two ends 31 facing each other are bent and extended in a direction away from the bottom of the fixing groove 122, i.e., the accommodating portion 122a, and pass through the narrowing portion 122b of the groove, and the distance between the two is gradually shortened to form a positioning protrusion 121.

[0059] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the elastic metal part 30 is a bent sheet metal part formed in one piece, which has low manufacturing difficulty, is more convenient for large-scale production, and can effectively reduce production costs.

[0060] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, the support member 21 is provided with a limiting groove 213 extending in the first direction, and a blocking block 123 is provided in the housing 10, and the blocking block 123 is accommodated in the limiting groove 213. Such a configuration can prevent the support member 21 from being separated from the housing 10, so that the support member 21 can move within a preset range of motion, and the reliability of the navigator 1000 is better.

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the navigator 1000 further includes a control panel 50, which is mounted on the housing 10 and includes a button 51 and a knob 52, which are used to control the navigator 1000. In this way, the navigator 1000 is operated through the physical knob 52 and button 51, which can provide clear operation feedback to the user, and the user can switch the operation mode according to the needs, so that the navigator 1000 has better use flexibility.

[0062] Preferably, the knob 52 is exposed outside the housing 10, and the user can freely switch modes such as changing tracks, adjusting volume or temperature by pressing the knob 52. The knob 52 is also provided with a display screen 521, which can display information of the current mode, so that the user can more easily understand and control the functions in the current mode. Such a design is not only convenient and practical, but also improves the user interaction experience.

[0063] Reference Figure 7 In one embodiment, the navigator 1000 further includes a ticker light bar 60, which is exposed outside the housing 10, and the knob 52 is electrically connected to the ticker light bar 60, so that when the knob 52 is pressed, the ticker light bar 60 can switch the light. Specifically, the ticker light bar 60 is installed in the housing 10, and the light-emitting end of the ticker light bar 60 is exposed outside the control panel 50. The user can switch different light effects by pressing the knob 52. Through the change of the light effect, different in-car atmospheres can be created for the user, thereby enhancing the overall experience of the user when using the product.

[0064] More specifically, a plurality of light holes are opened on the control panel 50, and the marquee light strip 60 is installed in the housing 10 and arranged opposite to the plurality of light holes. Through the light holes, the light of the marquee light strip 60 can be directly displayed outside the control panel 50, adding visual appeal to the product.

[0065] In this embodiment, the shape of the lamp hole can be set in a variety of ways, such as a corrugated shape (such as Figure 6 6a), long strip type (such as Figure 6 6b) or other special shapes (such as Figure 6 6c in FIG. 6 ), which is not limited here.

[0066] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the lamp hole may be a through hole or a light-transmitting hole, and those skilled in the art may freely adjust it according to actual design requirements, and no limitation is made here.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the navigator 1000 further includes a power supply interface 40, which is mounted on the housing 10 and exposed outside the housing 10. The power supply interface 40 is used to supply power to the mobile terminal. When the navigator 1000 fixes the mobile terminal, the power supply interface 40 is convenient for supplying power to the mobile terminal, maintaining the power of the mobile terminal so that it can work normally.

[0068] Specifically, the power supply interface 40 is a USB interface. When in use, the user can directly connect the power supply interface to the mobile terminal through a data cable for charging, or can connect the fixing mechanism on the navigator to the power supply interface 40 through a data cable, thereby indirectly powering the mobile terminal. Exemplarily, the fixing mechanism can be a magnetic charging seat, which is installed on the support member, and the power supply interface supplies power to the magnetic charging seat, so that the magnetic charging seat charges the mobile phone while fixing it.
