[0056] The present application provides a bracket, which can well meet the needs of diversified adjustment and is relatively convenient to use.
[0057] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0058] In the description of the present application, the descriptions with reference to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example" or "some examples" etc. mean that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, without contradiction, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0059] In the description of this specification, relational terms such as first and second etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.
[0060] See Figures 1 to 18 , the embodiment of the present application provides a bracket, including a base 100, a base 200, a carrier 300 and a driving component. Wherein, the base 200 is rotatably connected to the base 100 and can rotate horizontally relative to the base 100. The carrier 300 is rotatably connected to the base 200 and can rotate vertically relative to the base 200. The carrier 300 has a bearing surface 304 for placing an electronic device 500. The driving component includes a first driving device 210 and / or a second driving device 220. The first driving device 210 is used to drive the carrier 300 to rotate relative to the base 200, and the second driving device 220 is used to drive the base 200 to rotate relative to the base 100.
[0061] It should be noted that the bracket is a support that can support the electronic device 500 and bear the weight of the electronic device 500. The base 100 of the bracket is a component located at the lower part of the bracket for placing on other supports (such as a desktop). The bearing member 300 of the bracket is a component located at the upper part of the bracket in contact with the electronic device 500 to provide support. The bearing surface 304 is the surface of the bearing member 300 facing the electronic device 500 when the electronic device 500 is placed on the bearing member 300. The base 200 of the bracket is a component closer to the base 100 than the bearing member 300 and connects the bearing member 300 and the base 100. In the rotational motion of an object, the motion plane of the object refers to the surface swept by a straight line perpendicular to and intersecting the axis of rotation center rotating around the axis of rotation center. The horizontal rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100 can be understood as the motion plane of the base 200 being parallel or approximately parallel to the surface of the base 100 in contact with other supports. The vertical rotation of the bearing member 300 relative to the base 200 can be understood as the motion plane of the bearing member 300 being perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the surface of the base 100 in contact with other supports.
[0062] The bracket of the present application can be used to support the electronic device 500. For example, electronic devices such as laptops, tablets, and mobile phones can be placed on the bearing surface 304 of the bearing member 300 for use. The bearing member 300 and the base 100 are connected through the base 200. When the bracket is in use, the base 100 can be placed on a stable support such as a desktop. Since the base 200 is rotatably connected to the base 100 and can rotate horizontally relative to the base 100, and the bearing member 300 is connected to the base 100 through the base 200, during the rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100, the bearing member 300 rotates horizontally relative to the base 100 together with the base 200 and drives the electronic device 500 on the bearing surface 304 to adjust its orientation on the horizontal plane h. Since the bearing member 300 is rotatably connected to the base 200 and can rotate vertically relative to the base 200, during the rotation of the bearing member 300 relative to the base 200, it can drive the electronic device 500 on the bearing surface 304 to adjust its orientation on the vertical plane (i.e., the plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane h). It can be seen that the bracket of the present application can be adjusted in two dimensions, namely the horizontal plane h and the vertical plane, so as to well meet the needs of diversified adjustment. At the same time, the bracket of the present application is provided with a driving component, and the driving component can drive the bearing member 300 and / or the base 200 to move, that is, the driving component is used to drive the movement in at least one of the two dimensions of the horizontal plane h and the vertical plane, which can save the trouble of manual adjustment in this dimension. Therefore, the bracket of the present application is relatively convenient to use. That is to say, by setting the driving component, the posture adjustment of the bracket of the present application becomes more convenient, so that the user experience can be effectively improved.
[0063] The driving assembly includes a first driving device 210 and / or a second driving device 220. The bracket may be provided with only one of the first driving device 210 and the second driving device 220, or may be provided with both the first driving device 210 and the second driving device 220 at the same time. When the bracket is provided with only the first driving device 210, the flipping angle of the carrier 300 is automatically adjusted by the first driving device 210, and the twisting angle of the carrier 300 following the base 200 can be adjusted manually; when the bracket is provided with only the second driving device 220, the twisting angle of the carrier 300 following the base 200 is automatically adjusted by the first driving device 210, and the flipping angle of the carrier 300 can be adjusted manually; when the bracket is provided with both the first driving device 210 and the second driving device 220 at the same time, the flipping angle of the carrier 300 and the twisting angle of the carrier 300 following the base 200 are automatically adjusted by the driving assembly.
[0064] See Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 , in some embodiments, the first driving device 210 may include a slider slidably connected to the base 200. The bracket may include a support member 400 hinged to the slider. One end of the support member 400 away from the slider is hinged to the carrier 300. The first driving device 210 is disposed on the base 200. When the first driving device 210 works, the slider can perform a reciprocating linear motion in the horizontal direction. Driven by the slider, one end of the support member 400 away from the slider, that is, the end connected to the carrier 300, can rise and fall, so as to realize the upward and downward flipping of the carrier 300. As Figure 9 can be seen, after the carrier 300 is lifted, the support member 400 plays a supporting role for the carrier 300. The base 100, the support rod and the carrier 300 form a triangular structure in the vertical plane, so it can have a large load-bearing capacity. That is, under the supporting action of the support member 400, the carrier 300 can bear the gravity of the heavier electronic device 500 without flipping downward. Of course, in other embodiments, the first driving device 210 may be arranged in other forms to make the carrier 300 perform a flipping motion. For example, a rotating shaft is provided at one end of the carrier 300 connected to the base 200, and the first driving device 210 directly drives the rotating shaft to rotate to make the carrier 300 perform a flipping motion.
[0065] In the embodiment provided with the support member 400, in order to enable the slider to perform linear reciprocating movement, the first drive device 210 may have a variety of structural forms, for example, the first drive device 210 may include an electric push rod, the telescopic end of the electric push rod is connected to the slider. For another example, the first drive device 210 may include a first motor and a screw rod connected to the first motor, the slider is provided with a threaded hole threadedly connected to the screw rod, and the first motor drives the screw rod to rotate, so that the slider moves along the axis of the screw rod.
[0066] In some embodiments, the bracket may include: a controller, which is disposed on the base 100, the base 200 or the carrier 300, and is used to control the action of the first drive device 210 and / or the second drive device 220; an input member 301, which is disposed on the base 100, the base 200 or the carrier 300, and is electrically connected to the controller, and is used to receive input operations, and the controller controls the action of the first drive device 210 and / or the second drive device 220 in response to the input operations. The controller is a device that can receive an input signal, judge whether the input signal meets a predetermined condition, and output a signal to a controlled object according to the judgment result, such as a single-chip microcomputer, a CPU (central processing unit), etc. In an embodiment of the present application, the user can convey the control intention of the bracket to the controller through input operations (such as body movements, voice, etc.). Figure 1 In the exemplary embodiment, the input member 301 is configured as a button for receiving a pressing operation. For example, the input member 301 includes an up key and a down key. By pressing the up key, the support member 300 can be automatically lifted, and by pressing the down key, the support member 300 can be automatically dropped. Of course, in other embodiments, the input member 301 can be set to other forms. For example, the input member 301 is set to a voice recognition module, which can realize the automatic adjustment of the bracket by voice input. In addition, it should be noted that when the bracket is provided with other driving devices (such as the third driving device 340 described later), the controller can also be used to control the action of the other driving device.
[0067] In some embodiments, the bracket may include a sensor disposed on the carrier 300, the sensor being electrically connected to the controller for identifying the movement and position of the target object. By arranging the sensor on the carrier 300, the function of the bracket can be enriched. For example, the controller detects the position of the target object in real time through the sensor. When the target object moves, the controller controls the first drive device 210 and / or the second drive device 220 to operate, and adjusts the posture of the bracket so that the front of the electronic device 500 on the carrier 300 is always facing the target object. One possible application scenario is that the base 200 automatically rotates horizontally relative to the base 100 as the user's body position changes, so that the display screen of the laptop placed on the carrier 300 is always facing the user.
[0068] The electrical connection between the sensor and the controller means that electrical signals can be transmitted between the two. There are various forms of sensors to choose from. For example, the sensor can be set as a camera, and the images captured by the camera are transmitted to the controller for identifying the actions and positions of the target object. For another example, the sensor can be set as a ranging sensor, which detects the distance data between it and the target object and transmits it to the controller for identifying the actions and positions of the target object (such as a person's hand or head, etc.). In addition, since most of the electronic devices 500 have cameras, in some embodiments, the bracket may not be provided with a sensor, but borrow the camera of the electronic device 500 to identify the actions and positions of the target object, that is, an electrical connection can be established between the controller of the bracket and the camera of the electronic device 500. For example, in Figure 11 In the exemplary embodiment shown, the bracket may be provided with a first connector 302. After connecting the first connector 302 to the third connector 501 of the electronic device 500 with a cable, the images captured by the camera of the electronic device 500 can be transmitted to the controller of the bracket, so as to realize the identification of the actions and positions of the target object.
[0069] In some embodiments, the carrier 300 may include: a main body 310, which is connected to the base 200 and the support member 400; an extension body 320, which is movably connected to the main body 310 and is used to expand the support area of the bearing surface 304. The extension body is a component of the carrier for expanding the support area that the carrier can provide. The extension body 320 is movably connected to the main body 310, and the size of the carrier 300 can be changed through relative movement, thereby changing the support area of the bearing surface 304. It should be noted that the support area refers to the area included in the outer contour seen when observing the carrier 300 in the direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 304. For example, in Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the exemplary embodiment shown, after the two extension bodies 320 move away from each other, the overall size of the carrier 300 becomes larger than when the two extension bodies 320 are close together, thereby expanding the support area.
[0070] By changing the support area of the bearing surface 304, the carrier 300 can better adapt to electronic devices 500 of different sizes. For example, when a small tablet computer needs to be placed, the carrier 300 can be adjusted to the Figure 6 shown state. When a laptop computer larger in size than the small tablet computer needs to be placed, the carrier 300 can be adjusted to the Figure 7 shown state.
[0071] There are various choices for the movable connection manner between the extension body 320 and the main body 310. In addition to Figure 7The shown sliding connection method can also be set as a rotational connection method. For example, the extension body 320 can be set to rotate and open relative to the main body 310 like turning the pages of a book. After opening, the overall size of the carrier 300 becomes larger, thereby realizing the support area of the extended bearing surface 304. Or the extension body 320 can be set to rotate around the rotation axis perpendicular to the bearing surface 304, that is, the extension body 320 can rotate and open relative to the main body 310 like opening a folding fan. After opening, the overall size of the carrier 300 becomes larger, and the support area of the extended bearing surface 304 can also be realized.
[0072] In addition, although Figure 7 the number of the shown extension bodies 320 is two, and the sliding direction of the extension body 320 relative to the main body 310 is parallel to the rotation axis when the carrier 300 makes an up-and-down flipping motion, in other embodiments, the number of the extension bodies 320 can be set to other values, and the extension body 320 can be set to slide relative to the main body 310 in other directions. For example, the extension body 320 is set to one, and the sliding direction of the extension body 320 relative to the main body 310 is set to be perpendicular to the rotation axis when the carrier 300 makes an up-and-down flipping motion.
[0073] On the basis of setting the extension body 320, the bracket may include: a third driving device 340, which is arranged on the carrier 300 and is used to drive the extension body 320 to move relative to the main body 310 so as to realize adjusting the size of the support area of the bearing surface 304. Through the third driving device 340, the automatic movement of the extension body 320 can be realized, thus saving the trouble of manually adjusting the size of the carrier 300. As Figure 8 shown, in some embodiments, the third driving device 340 may include a second motor arranged on the main body 310 and a driving gear transmission-connected to the second motor. A rack meshing with the driving gear is arranged on the extension body 320. When the driving gear rotates, the extension body 320 moves relative to the main body 310 along the extending direction of the rack. Of course, in other embodiments, the third driving device 340 can be set in other structural forms. For example, the third driving device 340 may include an electric push rod arranged on the main body 310, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod is connected to the extension body 320, which can also drive the extension body 320 to move relative to the main body 310.
[0074] See Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10, in some embodiments, the bracket may include a baffle 303 movably disposed on the carrier 300. The baffle 303 is disposed near the rotational connection position between the carrier 300 and the base 200. The baffle 303 has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the baffle 303 protrudes from the bearing surface 304; in the second state, the baffle 303 is flush with or lower than the bearing surface 304. Since the baffle 303 is movably disposed on the carrier 300, the baffle 303 can move relative to the carrier 300 to change its state, realizing the switching between the first state and the second state. That the baffle 303 protrudes from the bearing surface 304 means that at least part of the baffle 303 is higher than the bearing surface 304 in the direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 304 and away from the carrier 300. The function of the baffle 303 is to block the electronic device 500 placed on the carrier 300, preventing the electronic device 500 from sliding down when the angle between the carrier 300 and the horizontal plane h is relatively large. When placing the electronic device 500 on the carrier 300 of the bracket, first adjust the baffle 303 to the first state, and then place the electronic device 500 so that the bottom edge of the electronic device 500 contacts the part of the baffle 303 protruding from the bearing surface 304. In this way, the baffle 303 can hold the electronic device 500 to prevent it from sliding down when the carrier 300 is turned upwards. After the bracket is used up, the baffle 303 can be adjusted to the second state. In the second state, the baffle 303 is flush with or lower than the bearing surface 304, that is, the baffle 303 does not protrude from the bearing surface 304. This can make the appearance of the bracket in the retracted state more tidy. Moreover, when the carrier 300 is used at a relatively small horizontal inclination angle, the electronic device 500 placed on the carrier 300 itself will not slide down. At this time, the baffle 303 can be adjusted to the second state for use, so as to vacate more places on the bearing surface 304 for flat placement of the electronic device 500.
[0075] In Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the embodiments exemplarily shown, the baffle 303 is rotationally connected to the carrier 300. The baffle 303 can be rotated relative to the carrier 300 to stand up and fall down, so as to realize the switching between the first state and the second state. In other embodiments, other movable connection methods can be set between the baffle 303 and the carrier 300. For example, the baffle 303 can be set to be slidably connected to the carrier 300. The baffle 303 can slide up and down relative to the carrier 300, so as to realize the switching between the first state and the second state.
[0076] See Figures 6 to 8, in some embodiments, the bracket may include a cooling fan 330 disposed on the carrier 300, at least for dissipating heat from the electronic device 500 placed on the bearing surface 304. When the electronic device 500 is operating, it generates heat. By dissipating heat from the electronic device 500 through the cooling fan 330, the influence of temperature on the operating performance of the electronic device 500 can be reduced. In addition to dissipating heat from the electronic device 500, the cooling fan 330 can also be used to dissipate heat from other components. For example, while the cooling fan 330 dissipates heat from the electronic device 500, it also dissipates heat from the third driving device 340 disposed on the carrier 300. In Figure 8 In the exemplary embodiments shown, the cooling fan 330 is disposed on the back of the carrier 300, that is, on the side of the carrier 300 facing away from the bearing surface 304. In this structure, the carrier 300 may be provided with ventilation holes through which the air of the cooling fan 330 can pass, so that the cooling fan 330 can blow air towards the electronic device 500 located on the bearing surface 304. In other embodiments, the cooling fan 330 may be disposed at other positions on the carrier 300. For example, the cooling fan 330 is disposed at the side of the bearing surface 304, and the cooling fan 330 blows air towards the electronic device 500 located on the bearing surface 304 from the side of the bearing surface 304, and can also dissipate heat from the electronic device 500.
[0077] The bracket can also dissipate heat from the electronic device 500 placed on the bearing surface 304 in other ways. For example, the bearing surface 304 of the carrier 300 may be provided with a mesh structure for heat dissipation. By providing the mesh structure over a large area on the bearing surface 304, the heat of the electronic device 500 can be quickly dissipated through the mesh structure, achieving the effect of dissipating heat from the electronic device 500. Of course, in some embodiments, the way the bracket dissipates heat from the electronic device 500 can be a combination of the above ways. For example, while the bearing surface 304 of the carrier 300 is provided with a mesh structure for heat dissipation, the carrier 300 is also provided with a cooling fan 330 for dissipating heat from the electronic device 500 placed on the bearing surface 304.
[0078] See Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 16 and Figure 18, in some embodiments, the top surface of the base 100 may have a groove 103, and the base 200 is located in the groove 103. In the retracted state of the bracket, the carrier 300 is stacked with the base 100 and makes the whole bracket in a regular three-dimensional shape. That is, when the carrier 300 is turned downward relative to the base 200 and abuts against the base 100, the carrier 300 can cover the base 200 in the groove 103 on the top surface of the base 100, making the base 200 invisible in the retracted state of the bracket. Moreover, when observed from a direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 304, the contour shape of the carrier 300 is consistent with the contour shape of the base 100, so that the stacked carrier 300 and the base 100 can be in a regular three-dimensional shape, or the whole can be in a regular three-dimensional shape. The shape presented by the whole bracket refers to the appearance shape that can be seen when all the components of the bracket are taken as a whole. In Figures 1 to 6 In the exemplary embodiments shown, the whole bracket in the retracted state is in a cuboid shape. In other embodiments, it can also be set to other regular three-dimensional shapes, such as a cylindrical shape or a cube shape.
[0079] See Figures 16 to 18 , in some embodiments, the groove 103 on the top surface of the base 100 may be provided with a first wire passing hole communicating with the inside of the base 100 at the bottom of the groove. The base 200 may be provided with a second wire passing hole corresponding to the position of the first wire passing hole, and the second wire passing hole communicates with the inside of the base 200. The first wire passing hole and the second wire passing hole are located on the rotational center axis of the relative rotation of the base 200 and the base 100 (i.e., the vertical axis around which the base 200 rotates horizontally). The wire passing hole refers to a hole for passing a cable to complete wiring. The first wire passing hole and the second wire passing hole are used for arranging cables. For example, the cable may be a cable connecting the driving component on the base 200 and the controller located inside the base 100. Since the first wire passing hole and the second wire passing hole are located on the rotational center axis of the relative rotation of the base 200 and the base 100, the cable will not affect the rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100. On this basis, if the carrier 300 has a wiring requirement (such as in the case where the carrier 300 is provided with a cooling fan 330 and a third driving device 340), the cable can enter the inside of the carrier 300 along the connecting portion 240 of the base 200 (i.e., the part where the base 200 is rotationally connected to the carrier 300) through the inside of the base 200. In this way, the cable can be completely arranged inside the components of the bracket, that is, the internal wiring design is realized. On the one hand, the cable can be well protected, and on the other hand, the appearance of the bracket can be kept tidy.
[0080] See Figures 16 to 18, in some embodiments, the base 100 may be provided with an annular rack 102 fixed to the bottom of the groove 103, and the base 200 may be provided with a gear meshed with the annular rack 102. During the rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100, the gear meshes with the annular rack 102. An annular rack refers to a component having a toothed structure provided on the inner circumferential surface and / or the outer circumferential surface of an annular body. Although Figure 17 the gear shown meshing with the annular rack 102 is driven by the second driving device 220 and actively rotates during the rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100, in other embodiments, the gear may not be driven by the second driving device 220, that is, the gear may be set as a non-powered gear. At this time, during the rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100, the gear rotates passively. For example, a plurality of non-powered gears are arranged around the annular rack 102, and these gears play a role in straightening during the rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100, which is beneficial to the more stable and smooth rotation of the base 200. It should be noted that all the gears meshing with the annular rack 102 may be set as non-powered gears, or one of them may be set as a driving gear driven by the second driving device 220, and the rest are set as non-powered gears. It may also be Figure 17 as shown, only one driving gear driven by the second driving device 220 is provided.
[0081] See Figure 17 , when the second driving device 220 is arranged on the base 200, the base 100 may be provided with an annular rack 102, and the base 200 may be provided with a gear in transmission connection with the second driving device 220, and this gear meshes with the annular rack 102. After the second driving device 220 is started, the gear rolls along the annular rack 102, so that the base 200 rotates relative to the base 100. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100 can be realized through other structural forms. For example, the second driving device 220 is arranged on the base 100, a first bevel gear is fixed on the base 200, the axis of the first bevel gear is vertically arranged, and the second driving device 220 drives a second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear, so as to drive the first bevel gear to rotate around its own axis, thus realizing the horizontal rotation of the base 200 relative to the base 100.
[0082] See Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 , in some embodiments, a convex block 350 with a cavity may be provided on one side of the carrier 300 facing away from the bearing surface 304, and the base 200 may be provided with a receiving groove 230 for receiving the convex block 350. In the retracted state of the bracket, the convex block 350 is located in the receiving groove 230. The cavity of the convex block 350 can be used to arrange the third driving device 340, such as Figure 8As shown. Of course, the cavity of the bump 350 can also be used to set other components. For example, a voice recognition module can be installed to receive voice input commands.
[0083] Referring to Figure 11 , the bracket may include: a first connector 302 disposed on the carrier 300 for connecting to the electronic device 500; a second connector 101 disposed on the base 100, the base 200, and / or the carrier 300 for connecting to external devices other than the electronic device 500; wherein, the first connector 302 and the second connector 101 are connected by a cable disposed in the bracket for realizing the electrical connection between the electronic device 500 and the external device. The cable disposed in the bracket refers to a cable whose routing path passes through the interior of the components of the bracket. When the electronic device 500 needs to be connected to an external device (such as a display), a first cable is used to connect the first connector 302 to the third connector 501 of the electronic device 500, and a second cable is used to connect the second connector 101 to the external device, thus establishing the electrical connection between the electronic device 500 and the external device.
[0084] After connecting the first connector 302 of the bracket and the third connector 501 of the electronic device 500 through a cable, the driving component and the controller of the bracket form an electrical connection with the electronic device 500, so that the components of the bracket and the electronic device 500 can be shared with each other, enabling more functions to be given to the bracket. In some embodiments, the bracket can obtain artificial intelligence functions through the neural network module (NPU) and the camera on the electronic device 500, realizing, for example, the intelligent following effect of intelligently adjusting the posture according to the position change of the user so that the display screen of the electronic device 500 always faces the user.
[0085] Although Figure 11 in the illustrated embodiment, only the base 100 is provided with the second connector 101, in other embodiments, any one or any two or all three of the base 100, the base 200, and the carrier 300 can be provided with the second connector 101.
[0086] As Figure 11 shown, in the case where the second connector 101 is disposed on the base 100, when the carrier 300 moves up and down or rotates horizontally with the base 200, the above-mentioned second cable connecting the second connector 101 to the external device will not be affected. It is easy to understand that the number of the second connectors 101 can be set to more than two, so that the bracket functions as a docking station, facilitating the connection of the electronic device 500 to more external devices. The types of these second connectors 101 can be the same or different. For example, one or some of the second connectors 101 can be set as USB interfaces, and another or some of the second connectors 101 can be set as HDMI interfaces.
[0087] AsFigure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the carrier 300 may be provided with the first connectors 302 on opposite sides, which can facilitate adaptation to different electronic devices 500. For example, the third connector 501 of some electronic devices 500 may be provided on the left side, and the third connector 501 of some electronic devices 500 may be provided on the right side. The carrier 300 is provided with the first connectors 302 on both sides, enabling the electronic devices 500 in the above two cases to connect the first connector 302 and the third connector 501 through shorter cables.
