[0037] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with 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. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] In the process of research, the inventors of the present application found that during the use of a terminal device, users often need to use a bracket to support the terminal device at a preset position so that the terminal device can meet the display needs of users. After the terminal device is placed on the bracket, the switching between landscape and portrait modes of the terminal device usually requires manual adjustment by the user, which cannot meet the diverse usage needs of users.

[0039] With the continuous progress of technology, wireless charging technology has become one of the standard configurations of smartphone accessories. Users not only expect the wireless charger to provide basic charging functions, but also hope to obtain higher convenience and customized experiences during the charging process. For example, users may hope to adjust the angle of the mobile phone for convenient video viewing during charging, or the mobile phone needs to automatically switch to landscape or portrait mode according to the requirements of the application during charging.

[0040] Although the wireless chargers in the related art can achieve stable charging of the mobile phone through magnetic adsorption, they still do not fully consider the personalized needs of users for the angle and direction of the mobile phone during charging. The wireless charging solutions in the related art have limitations in improving the user charging experience, especially in supporting multi-angle display of the mobile phone and automatic screen orientation switching. To improve the above technical problems, the present application can provide the following embodiments.

[0041] Combined with Figures 1 to 4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a bracket 1. The bracket 1 includes a support member 10, a carrier module 20, and a base 40. The base 40 can be stably placed on a plane such as a desktop or the ground. The support member 10 is installed on the base 40. The support member 10 can support the carrier module 20. The carrier module 20 is movably installed on the support member 10. Among them, the carrier module 20 includes a first housing 21, a second housing 22, and a driving device 24. The second housing 22 is installed on the support member 10, the first housing 21 is rotatably installed on the second housing 22, and the driving device 24 is used to drive the first housing 21 to rotate relative to the second housing 22. In some embodiments, the driving device 24 can be disposed in the second housing 22 or in the base 40.

[0042] The first housing 21 can be switched between a first position and a second position by rotating relative to the second housing 22. The first position can be switched to the second position by rotating the first housing 21 by a certain angle. For example, the first housing 21 can be switched to the second position by rotating 90 degrees. The first position of the first housing can correspond to one of the landscape display or portrait display of the terminal device 2, and the second position of the first housing can correspond to the other of the landscape display or portrait display of the terminal device 2. The driving device 24 is used to drive the first housing 21 to rotate between the first position and the second position, so as to realize the change of the display angle of the terminal device 2. On the other hand, after the terminal device 2 is in the landscape state or the portrait state, in order to stably maintain it in the landscape state or the portrait state, the driving device 24 can apply a continuous driving force to maintain the position of the first housing 21 in the landscape state or the portrait state.

[0043] The bracket 1 further includes a wireless charging module 30. A charging area corresponding to the wireless charging module 30 is formed on the first housing 21, and the device to be charged can be placed in the charging area. Optionally, the wireless charging module 30 is arranged between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22.

[0044] Wherein, in some embodiments, the wireless charging module 30 is relatively fixed to the first housing 21 and is rotationally matched with the second housing 22. In other embodiments, the wireless charging module 30 is relatively fixed to the second housing 22 and is rotationally matched with the first housing 21.

[0045] It should be noted that the relative fixation of the two elements described herein means that the motion state of one element can follow the motion state of the other element to maintain the consistency of the motion state. However, the description of relative fixation does not limit that the two elements must be in a state of direct contact or direct installation. The two elements can be assembled through other components. For example, the relative fixation of the wireless charging module 30 to the first housing 21 means that the wireless charging module 30 can rotate relative to the second housing 21 as a whole following the first housing 21 during the rotation of the first housing 21. In this case, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 should be rotationally matched. Another example is that the relative fixation of the wireless charging module 30 to the second housing 22 means that when the second housing 22 does not rotate, the wireless charging module 30 can follow the second housing 22 without relative rotation. However, this will not affect the relative rotation of the first housing 21, that is, the wireless charging module 30 is rotationally matched with the first housing 21. The relative fixation of the element to the first housing 21 or the second housing 22 mentioned many times in the following text of this application is the same reason and will not be repeated.

[0046] The support member 10 can play a role in supporting the carrier module 20. The support member 10 can be provided in a rod shape, a plate shape or a box shape, and no specific limitation is made here. The support member 10 can support the carrier module 20 at a preset height. The carrier module 20 realizes pitching or rotation through the movable connection with the support member 10.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bracket 1 further includes a base 40 and a main board 41. The support member 10 is installed on the base 40. The main board 41 can be disposed inside the base 40 or on the carrier module 20. The main board 41 is electrically connected to the wireless charging module 30 and the driving device 24. The main board 41 can play a role in managing the power supply and can also control the operation of the driving device 24 in response to the operation of the sensor or the user. The base 40 can be placed on a plane and play a role in stably supporting the support member 10. Optionally, the base 40 is provided with a charging structure electrically connected to the main board 41, and the base 40 can be connected to a power supply through the charging structure. The specifications of the charging structure can be Type-A, Type-B, Type-C or Lighting, etc., and no specific limitation is made here. A battery can also be provided inside the base 40, and the battery can supply power to the wireless charging module 30. Optionally, in combination Figure 3 , the main board 41 can be provided with a relief hole for the support member 10 to pass through stably.

[0048] In some embodiments, the base 40 can also be provided with an adjustment component (not shown in the figure). The adjustment component can be disposed on the upper surface of the base 40 or on the periphery of the base 40, and no specific limitation is made here. The adjustment component can be a knob or a button. The adjustment component is electrically connected to the main board 41, so that the user can control the switch or rotation of the bracket 1 through the adjustment component.

[0049] In some other embodiments, a battery (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the carrier module 20, and the battery can supply backup power to the wireless charging module 30.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the carrier module 20 is provided with a charging structure (not shown in the figure). The charging structure can be connected to an external power supply through a charging cable to supply power to the device to be charged using the external power supply.

[0051] In some embodiments, the support member 10 is configured to be telescopic or foldable. The support member 10 can adjust its own height dimension through telescopic movement or folding movement for easy storage. For example, the support member 10 includes a first rod body and a second rod body that are rotatably connected. The included angle between the rotation axes of the first rod body and the second rod body is set. The first rod body and the second rod body can be folded or extended by relative rotation to achieve the folding or extension of the support member 10. Alternatively, the support member 10 includes a first rod body and a second rod body that are slidably connected, and the first rod body and the second rod body can adjust the height of the load module 20 by sliding. Optionally, the first rod body and the second rod body can also be switched between a movable state (including the above-mentioned sliding and rotation) and a fixed state by rotation or snap connection, so as to maintain the load module 20 at the corresponding position by switching to the fixed state after adjusting the position of the load module 20.

[0052] In some embodiments, the support member 10 can be detachably connected to the load module 20, and the load module 20 can be easily stored after being detached.

[0053] In some embodiments, the support member 10 can be provided with a power supply interface (not shown in the figure) that matches the charging interface. When the support member 10 and the load module 20 are in a connected state, the power supply interface is plugged into the charging interface, so that the support member 10 and the load module 20 are connected, and the wireless charging module 30 is connected to the power supply through the support member 10.

[0054] In some other embodiments, a first electrical contact (not shown in the figure) is provided on the second housing 22, and the wireless charging module 30 is electrically connected to the first electrical contact. The support member 10 is provided with a second electrical contact (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the first electrical contact. When the support member 10 and the second housing 22 are in a connected state, the first electrical contact abuts against the second electrical contact, so that the wireless charging module 30 is connected to the power supply through the support member 10.

[0055] For example, the support member 10 and the load module 20 are detachably connected by snap connection or magnetic attraction. Alternatively, a clip is provided on the support member 10 for clamping the load module 20.

[0056] Combined Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the terminal device 2 in a vertically placed state. Figure 11It is a schematic diagram of the terminal device 2 in a horizontally placed state. The carrying module 20 can carry the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 can be a smart terminal device such as a mobile phone or a tablet, and no specific limitation is made here. The terminal device 2 can be placed on the first housing 21 of the carrying module 20 and is fixedly arranged relative to the first housing 21. By driving the relative rotation of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 through the driving device 24, the terminal device 2 can be driven to rotate, so as to realize the horizontal screen display or vertical screen display of the terminal device 2. By setting the wireless charging module 30, the terminal device 2 can be wirelessly charged. In the above manner, when the user charges through the bracket 1, the terminal device 2 can rotate on the bracket 1 to adapt to different usage scenarios and meet the user's control requirements.

[0057] In some embodiments, the carrying module 20 is movably connected to the support member 10. The carrying module 20 can be rotatably connected to the support member 10. The rotation of the carrying module 20 and the support member 10 can be manually realized by the user or automatically realized by the driving device 24.

[0058] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 8 , the carrying module 20 can also be universally connected to the support member 10. The support member 10 can have a spherical head 11, and the second housing 22 is provided with a ball socket 222. The universal connection between the carrying module 20 and the support member 10 can be realized through the cooperation of the spherical head 11 and the ball socket 222.

[0059] In some embodiments, the support member 10 is provided with a spherical head 11, and a receiving space is formed on the second housing 22. When the support member 10 and the second housing 22 rotate relative to each other, the spherical head 11 can rotate in the receiving space. The spherical head 11 can be snapped into the receiving space, so as to limit the separation of the support member 10 from the second housing 22, and the second housing 22 can block the spherical head 11. In some embodiments, a damping member can be arranged in the receiving space. By elastically abutting the spherical head 11 against the damping member, the rotational damping of the spherical head 11 in the receiving space can be increased, and the spherical head 11 can be prevented from deviating from the working position due to loosening. In some embodiments, the damping member forms the bottom surface of the receiving space. Optionally, the damping member is a plastic part, a silica gel part or a rubber part.

[0060] In some embodiments, the second housing 22 includes a housing 221 and a ball socket 222. The ball socket 222 and the housing 221 enclose a receiving space. The ball socket 222 is installed in the housing 221. The receiving space in the ball socket 222 can accommodate at least part of the spherical head 11 of the support member 10 to form a universal connection with the support member 10.

[0061] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 7The shell 221 includes an outer shell 2211 and an inner shell 2212, and the outer shell 2211 is sleeved with the inner shell 2212. The diameter of the outer shell 2211 can be gradually reduced in the direction from the first shell 21 to the second shell 22 to reduce the space occupied. The inner shell 2212 is extended in a cylindrical shape from the part of the outer shell 2211 that is away from the first shell 21. The inner shell 2212 can be used to accommodate the installation of the ball head seat 222 and the drive device 24. Optionally, the inner circumference of the inner shell 2212 is spaced apart with a plurality of ribs 2212A, and the plurality of ribs 2212A can be used to cooperate with the ball head seat 222 to stably install the ball head seat 222. By setting the inner shell 2212, the size of the drive device 24 and the size of the ball head seat 222 can be adapted at the same time to improve the stability of the installation.

[0062] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 4 to 8 The first shell 21 and the second shell 22 are arranged to form a storage space, and the wireless charging module 30 is located in the storage space. The first shell 21 is formed with a charging area corresponding to the wireless charging module 30 on the side away from the storage space. In this way, the first shell 21 and the second shell 22 can protect and shield the wireless charging module 30, which is conducive to improving the structural stability of the bearing module 20.

[0063] In some embodiments, the carrying module 20 further includes a middle frame 23, which is disposed between the first shell 21 and the second shell 22. The middle frame 23 is rotationally matched with the second shell 22, or the middle frame 23 is rotationally matched with the first shell 21.

[0064] Further, the wireless charging module 30 is disposed between the middle frame 23 and the first shell 21, and the driving device 24 is disposed between the middle frame 23 and the second shell 22. The middle frame 23 can separate the accommodation space between the first shell 21 and the second shell 22, thereby forming a space for installing the wireless charging module 30 and a space for installing the driving device 24. In this way, the wireless charging module 30 and the driving device 24 can be isolated, thereby reducing the mutual influence between the wireless charging module 30 and the driving device 24 during the working process.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 is provided with a cylindrical extension from its edge toward the second housing 22, and the cylindrical extension is sleeved with the middle frame 23. In this way, the gap between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 is away from the first housing 21, which can make the bearing module 20 more beautiful.

[0066] In some embodiments, the middle frame 23 and the second shell 22 are rotatably matched, and the wireless charging module 30 and the first shell 21 are relatively fixed.

[0067] Specifically, in some embodiments, the wireless charging module 30 is installed between the middle frame 23 and the first housing 21. The middle frame 23 and the first housing 21 are relatively fixed, and the wireless charging module 30 and the first housing 21 are relatively fixed. In other words, the middle frame 23, the first housing 21, and the wireless charging module 30 can rotate relative to the second housing 22 as a whole. In the carrier module 20 arranged in the above manner, the boundaries of the two relatively rotating parts are clear, and the structure of their relative rotation is relatively simple, which is beneficial to reducing the production and manufacturing costs. Moreover, the mutual interference between the two relatively rotating parts is smaller, and the generation of interference during rotation can be reduced. Specifically, as shown in the figure, for example, in the carrier module 20 arranged in the above manner, the driving module and the middle frame 23 can be used as the boundary. On one side is the second housing 22 that is stationary relative to the support member 10, and on the other side are the middle frame 23, the first housing 21, and the wireless charging module 30 that rotate relative to the support member 10.

[0068] On this basis, in one embodiment, in combination with Figure 8 , the first housing 21 can be installed on the middle frame 23, and the middle frame 23 is rotatably connected to the second housing 22. Optionally, the middle frame 23 is supported on the second housing 22 by a hinge member 25. The hinge member 25 can be, for example, a rotating bearing. In some other embodiments, the hinge member 25 can be a roller. The hinge member 25 can reduce the friction between the middle frame 23 and the second housing 22. In the above manner, the hinge member 25 can rotatably connect the whole formed by the middle frame 23, the first housing 21, and the wireless charging module 30 to the second housing 22. Among them, the parts that need to avoid interference during relative rotation only exist in the part where the second housing 22 is close to the middle frame 23 and the part of the driving device 24.

[0069] Based on the above embodiments, since the wireless charging module 30 needs to be wired to connect to a power source, rotation may cause the wires to become entangled. To improve this situation, the second housing 22 can be provided with a limiting device, and the limiting device can limit the rotation angle of the middle frame 23, the first housing 21, and the wireless charging module 30. In this way, the middle frame 23, the first housing 21, and the wireless charging module 30 can rotate within a reasonable range under the condition of satisfying the aforementioned ability to switch between the landscape and portrait displays of the terminal device 2, so as to avoid breaking the wires. For example, the limiting device can limit the rotation of the middle frame 23, the first housing 21, and the wireless charging module 30 to exceed 360°, so as to keep the possible number of turns of the wires within one turn, greatly reducing the possibility of wire failure caused by rotation.

[0070] Specifically, in some embodiments, one of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 is provided with a first limiting portion (not shown in the figure), and the other of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 is provided with a second limiting portion (not shown in the figure). The first limiting portion can move circumferentially along both sides of the second limiting portion of the second housing 22. After the first limiting portion abuts against the second limiting portion, the relative rotation of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be restricted.

[0071] With such a setting, the relative rotation angle of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be restricted within a certain range, so that the torsional, tensile, extrusion and other effects on the lead connecting the wireless charging module 30 can be reduced, and the risk of lead damage can be lowered. For example, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 have an initial relative position. The rotation directions of the first housing 21 relative to the second housing 22 include clockwise rotation and counterclockwise rotation. At the initial relative position, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion are arranged opposite to each other with respect to the rotating shaft portion 2221 of the relative rotation of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. When the first housing 21 rotates clockwise relative to the second housing 22 by a specific angle (determined by the sizes of the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion), the first limiting portion can abut against one side surface of the second limiting portion and cannot continue to rotate. When the first housing 21 rotates counterclockwise relative to the second housing 22 by a specific angle, the first limiting portion can abut against the other side surface of the second limiting portion and cannot continue to rotate. Therefore, the torsional, tensile, extrusion and other effects on the lead are limited. Optionally, the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion can be protrusions respectively formed on the first housing 21 and the second housing 22.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 may not be provided with limiting portions, and the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can rotate relative to each other for one to multiple circles. In some embodiments, the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be rotationally connected by threads, and the endpoints at both ends of the threaded section can naturally serve as the limits of rotation.

[0073] In some embodiments, in combination Figures 5 to 8 , the middle frame 23 extends towards the second housing 22 and is provided with a driving portion 231. The second housing 22 is formed with a rotating shaft portion 2221, and the driving portion 231 is sleeved on the rotating shaft portion 2221. Optionally, the driving portion 231 and the rotating shaft portion 2221 are rotationally connected by a hinge member 25.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second housing 22 includes a housing 221 and a ball head seat 222. One end of the ball head seat 222 is formed with the aforementioned rotating shaft portion 2221, and the other end of the ball head seat 222 is formed with an accommodating space. The ball head seat 222 is installed inside the housing 221, and at least a part of the ball head portion 11 of the support member 10 can be accommodated in the accommodating space within the ball head seat 222 to form a universal joint with the support member 10. The rotating shaft portion 2221 formed at the other end of the ball head seat 222 can be used for installing the aforementioned middle frame 23.

[0075] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the driving device 24 includes a stator 241 and a rotor 242. The stator 241 is fixedly installed on the second housing 22, and the rotor 242 is installed on the middle frame 23 or the first housing 21. The stator 241 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotor 242, or the rotor 242 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the stator 241.

[0076] Specifically, in some embodiments, the rotor 242 is sleeved on the driving portion 231, and the stator 241 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotor 242. The stator 241 can be either a magnetic element or a coil, and the rotor 242 can be the other of the magnetic element or the coil. Among them, the coil is electrically connected to the main board 41.

[0077] Different from directly disposing a finished motor in the carrying module 20. By disposing the stator 241 on the second housing 22, the driving portion 231 of the rotor 242 sleeved on the middle frame 23 can reduce the use of parts such as the driving shaft or the motor housing of the finished motor, that is, it can reduce the use of unnecessary parts and improve the utilization rate of the space within the carrying module 20.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the middle frame 23 is rotationally engaged with the second housing 22, and the wireless charging module 30 can be fixedly arranged relative to the second housing 22.

[0079] The wireless charging module 30 is installed between the middle frame 23 and the first housing 21. The middle frame 23 and the first housing 21 are relatively fixed, and the wireless charging module 30 and the second housing 22 are relatively fixed.

[0080] Specifically, in some embodiments, in combination Figure 6 and 9, the wireless charging module 30 is disposed on one side of the middle frame 23 close to the first housing 21. The wireless charging module 30 is supported by the second housing 22. The wireless charging module 30 includes a mounting frame 301 which is mounted on the second housing 22. The mounting frame 301 can accommodate and support a circuit board, a coil, etc. in the wireless charging module 30. The middle frame 23 can be rotatably connected to the mounting frame 301 or the second housing 22 through a hinge member 25. The driving device 24 is disposed on one side of the middle frame 23 close to the second housing 22. The driving device 24 is fixedly mounted on the second housing 22 and is used to drive the first housing 21 and the middle frame 23 to rotate relative to the wireless charging module 30 and the second housing 22. When the wireless charging module 30 is relatively fixed to the second housing 22, the lead of the wireless charging module 30 will not be driven to rotate during use, thereby improving the technical problem of lead disconnection. In this way, the first housing 21 and the middle frame 23 can rotate infinitely relative to the second housing 22 without worrying about the rotation of the lead.

[0081] In some other embodiments, the middle frame 23 is relatively fixed to the second housing 22, the first housing 21 is rotatably engaged with the middle frame 23, the wireless charging module 30 is disposed between the middle frame 23 and the first housing 21, and the driving device 24 is disposed between the middle frame 23 and the second housing 22. The wireless charging module 30 can be relatively fixed to the first housing 21 or relatively fixed to the second housing 22.

[0082] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 6 , the wireless charging module 30 includes a magnetic attraction component 31 and a coil component 32. The magnetic attraction component 31 surrounds the coil component 32, and the coil component 32 and the magnetic attraction component 31 are independent of each other. In other words, there is a gap between the wireless charging module 30 and the magnetic attraction component 31, that is to say, the wireless charging module 30 and the magnetic attraction component 31 do not contact each other, so that the resistance of the wireless charging module 30 to the rotation of the magnetic attraction component 31 can be reduced. The coil component 32 is used to generate an alternating magnetic field so as to cooperate with the coil inside the terminal device 2 to perform charging. The magnetic attraction component 31 can generate a constant magnetic field to adsorb the terminal device 2 to the first housing 21.

[0083] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the magnetic attraction component 31 includes a plurality of magnets arranged circumferentially. Further, the plurality of magnets are spliced to form an annular structure with a break, so that it is convenient for installation and meets the installation specifications. Optionally, the magnetic attraction component 31 is circumferentially disposed around the outer periphery of the wireless charging module 30.

[0084] In some embodiments, one of the magnetic attraction component 31 and the coil component 32 is relatively fixed to the first housing 21, and the other of the magnetic attraction component 31 and the coil component 32 is relatively fixed to the second housing 22. For example, the magnetic attraction component 31 can be relatively fixedly arranged with the first housing 21, while the coil component 32 is relatively fixedly arranged with the second housing 22. The magnetic attraction component 31 can be used to generate a constant magnetic field, and it can be a permanent magnet.

[0085] The structure of the magnetic attraction component 31 is simple and generally does not require additional lead wires. In this case, the magnetic attraction component 31 can be conveniently fixed to the first housing 21. And during the process of attracting the terminal device 2, the relative movement of the position between the magnetic attraction component 31 and the terminal device 2 is also less, which is beneficial to the stability of the adsorption of the magnetic attraction component 31.

[0086] Since the coil component 32 needs to generate an alternating magnetic field for charging, its structure is complex and it needs to be connected to the power supply through lead wires. The lead wires are passed through the second housing 22 and extend to be connected to the wireless charging module 30 on the wireless charging module 30. By setting the wireless charging module 30 and the second housing 22 to be connected, the wireless charging module 30 and the second housing 22 can be kept relatively fixed, which is beneficial to reducing the torsion, stretching, extrusion, etc. suffered by the lead wires and reducing the risk of lead wire damage.

[0087] In some embodiments, the carrier module 20 includes at least two conductive contacts and at least two conductive parts that respectively correspond to and abut against each other. The two conductive contacts are relatively fixedly arranged with one of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, and the two conductive parts are relatively fixedly arranged with the other of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. In other words, the conductive contacts and the conductive parts can be relatively rotatably arranged. The wireless charging module 30 is connected to the power supply through the two conductive contacts and the two conductive parts. The two conductive contacts and the two conductive parts can be respectively used to connect to the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply.

[0088] Specifically, the carrier module 20 includes a conductive contact and a conductive part that are correspondingly abutted and relatively slidable. The conductive contact is fixedly arranged relative to the first housing 21 and electrically connected to the wireless charging module 30, and the conductive part is fixedly arranged relative to the second housing 22 and electrically connected to the power supply through a lead wire, so that the wireless charging module 30 is electrically connected to the power supply through the conductive contact and the conductive part. Alternatively, the conductive part is fixedly arranged relative to the first housing 21 and electrically connected to the wireless charging module 30, and the conductive contact is fixedly arranged relative to the second housing 22 and electrically connected to the power supply through a lead wire, so that the wireless charging module 30 is electrically connected to the power supply through the conductive contact and the conductive part. Wherein, the conductive contact can move relative to the conductive part and can maintain electrical connection with the conductive part. In the above manner, during the process of the wireless charging module 30 rotating relative to the second housing 22, electrical connection can be maintained through the conductive contact and the conductive part, and the rotation of the wireless charging module 30 is not restricted. Optionally, the conductive contact can be a pin-type connector. Optionally, the conductive part is a metal foil, such as copper foil, aluminum foil, etc. The conductive contact is a pin.

[0089] In some embodiments, one of the conductive parts is circular ring-shaped, and the other can be circular ring-shaped or circular. During the process of the wireless charging module 30 rotating relative to the second housing 22, the conductive contact can slide along the circumference of the conductive part and maintain electrical connection during the process, so that the rotation of the wireless module is not restricted by the lead wire, avoiding the problem of having to consider the twisting of the lead wire.

[0090] In some embodiments, the middle frame 23 is fixedly arranged relative to the second housing 22, and one of the conductive contact or the conductive part can be arranged on the middle frame 23 or be a part of the middle frame 23.

[0091] In some embodiments, the middle frame 23 is fixedly arranged relative to the second housing 22, and the aforementioned conductive parts are arranged on both sides of the middle frame 23. Among them, the conductive part of the middle frame 23 facing the first housing 21 is used to maintain electrical connection with the wireless charging module 30, and the conductive part facing the second housing 22 is used to maintain electrical connection with the rotor 242 when the stator 241 is a magnet and the rotor 242 is a coil.

[0092] In other embodiments, the magnetic attraction assembly 31 can be fixedly arranged relative to the second housing 22, and the coil assembly 32 is fixedly arranged relative to the first housing 21.

[0093] In some embodiments, the bracket 1 further includes a communication module. The communication module is installed on the carrier module 20 or the base 40. The communication module is used to communicate with the terminal device 2 to obtain the status information of the terminal device 2 or read the sensor information of the terminal device 2. The communication module can be a Bluetooth module or a near field communication (NFC) module, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0094] In some embodiments, the bracket 1 further includes a detection module. The detection module is installed on the carrying module 20 and is used to detect whether the terminal device 2 is in the charging area. The detection module can detect whether there is a device to be charged, so as to determine whether to turn on wireless charging or whether to drive the first housing 21 to rotate. The detection module can be a switch arranged on the first housing 21, and when the terminal device 2 is placed on the first housing 21, the switch can be pressed. The detection module can also be a Hall detection module, and a component capable of generating a magnetic field in the terminal device 2 can trigger the Hall detection module.

[0095] The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for the bracket 1, which is applied to the aforementioned bracket 1. The method includes:

[0096] Detect whether the terminal device 2 is placed on the bracket 1.

[0097] When it is detected that the terminal device 2 is placed on the bracket 1 and a status switching instruction for the terminal device 2 is received, in response to the status switching instruction, control the driving device 24 to drive the bracket 1 to rotate so that the terminal device 2 switches from the first state to the second state. Among them, the first state is one of the landscape screen state or the portrait screen state, and the second state is the other of the landscape screen state or the portrait screen state. Optionally, the status switching instruction includes control information of the adjustment component of the bracket 1, sensor control information of the terminal device 2, and application control information.

[0098] Specifically, for the control method of the bracket 1, reference can be made to the following examples for illustration.

[0099] S10: Detect whether the terminal device 2 is placed;

[0100] The user can choose to place the terminal device 2 on the carrying module 20. The carrying module 20 can also charge the terminal device 2. After the terminal device 2 is placed, it can trigger the detection module, so that the bracket 1 can detect that the terminal device 2 is placed.

[0101] If the terminal device 2 is not detected to be placed, the bracket 1 will not be awakened and remains in the closed state.

[0102] S20: If the terminal device 2 is detected to be placed, wake up the bracket 1.

[0103] When the terminal device 2 is placed, the bracket 1 can control the driving device 24 to control the rotation of the first housing 21 to maintain or change the posture of the terminal device 2. The bracket 1 can also control the wireless charging module 30 to charge the terminal device 2.

[0104] S30: Control the first housing 21 by the driving device 24 to maintain the terminal device 2 in the first state.

[0105] After the terminal device 2 is in the first state and before the need to switch the state of the terminal device 2 is obtained, the driving device 24 is in the starting state, so as to maintain the terminal device 2 in the first state to meet the user's usage requirements. In other embodiments, the maintenance of the first state can be achieved through a snap or magnetic structure, and the change of the first state can be achieved through the driving device 24.

[0106] S40: Obtain a state switching instruction on whether to switch the state of the terminal device 2.

[0107] The user can switch the terminal device 2 from the first state to the second state. For example, the terminal device 2 switches from the vertical screen state to the horizontal screen state. Whether to switch the state of the bracket 1 can be given a corresponding state switching instruction by the user through the adjustment component, or the user can control and issue a corresponding state switching instruction through the application software of the terminal device 2, or the state switching instruction given by the sensor of the terminal device 2 or the bracket 1.

[0108] S50: In response to the state switching instruction, control the first housing 21 through the driving device 24 to adjust the terminal device 2 to the second state.

[0109] After the bracket 1 determines that the state of the terminal device 2 needs to be switched in the above manner, it can drive the first housing 21 to rotate through the driving device 24, so as to control the terminal device 2 to rotate to the second state to meet the user's usage requirements. For example, the terminal device 2 switches from the vertical screen state to the horizontal screen state. The first housing 21 can switch the posture of the terminal device 2 by rotating a fixed angle, such as 90 degrees.

[0110] Combined Figure 13 , the specific implementation manner of the bracket 1 control method can be seen in the following description.

[0111] S10: Detect whether the terminal device 2 is placed;

[0112] The user can choose to place the terminal device 2 on the carrying module 20. The carrying module 20 can also charge the terminal device 2. After the terminal device 2 is placed, the detection module can be triggered, so that the bracket 1 can detect that the terminal device 2 is placed.

[0113] If the placement of the terminal device 2 is not detected, the bracket 1 will not be awakened and remains in the closed state.

[0114] S20: If the placement of the terminal device 2 is detected, wake up the bracket 1.

[0115] In the case where the terminal device 2 is placed, the bracket 1 can control the driving device 24 to control the rotation of the first housing 21 to maintain or change the posture of the terminal device 2. The bracket 1 can also control the wireless charging module 30 to charge the terminal device 2.

[0116] S25: Communicate with the terminal device 2 to obtain the status information of the terminal device 2.

[0117] When the terminal device 2 is placed on the bracket 1, the bracket 1 can communicate with the terminal device 2. The terminal device 2 has sensing devices such as a camera and a gyroscope, and the bracket 1 can obtain the status information of the camera, gyroscope, etc. The bracket 1 can determine the control strategy of the bracket 1 according to the obtained status information. The bracket 1 can realize the communication connection with the terminal device 2 through the aforementioned communication module. The communication module can be a Bluetooth module or a Near Field Communication (NFC) module, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0118] S29: Confirm whether the terminal device 2 is in the first state according to the status information of the terminal device 2.

[0119] Since during the placement process of the terminal device 2, the model and placement position of the terminal device 2 will change due to differences in user operations or selections, the position of the center of the terminal device 2 relative to the first housing 21 is not unique. The state of the terminal device 2 hanging naturally under gravity after placement is not necessarily in the first state. By judging the status information of the terminal device 2, it can be determined whether the terminal device 2 is in the first state. Among them, the first state can be the landscape screen state of the terminal device 2 or the portrait screen state of the terminal device 2.

[0120] If it is in the first state, it means that the terminal device 2 is placed in place. If it is not in the first state, the terminal device 2 is adjusted to the first state by the driving device 24 to ensure that the terminal device 2 is in the landscape or portrait screen state.

[0121] Of course, in other embodiments, the state of the terminal device 2 hanging naturally under gravity after placement can also be used as the initial state for control.

[0122] S30: Control the first housing 21 through the driving device 24 to maintain the terminal device 2 in the first state.

[0123] After confirming that the terminal device 2 is in the first state and before obtaining the need to switch the state of the terminal device 2, the driving device 24 is in the startup state, so as to maintain the terminal device 2 in the first state to meet the user's usage requirements. In other embodiments, the maintenance of the first state can be achieved through a snap or magnetic attraction structure, and the change of the first state can be achieved through the driving device 24.

[0124] S35: Obtain user identification information, and in response to the user identification information, issue a corresponding state switching instruction to adjust the state of the terminal device 2 in real time.

[0125] Obtaining user identification information includes obtaining the sensor information and application control information of the terminal device 2 after communicating with it. Obtaining user identification information also includes obtaining the control information of the adjustment component provided on the bracket 1. In other words, the state switching instruction may include the control information of the adjustment component of the bracket 1, the sensor control information of the terminal device 2, and the application control information.

[0126] When the terminal device 2 maintains the first state, user information can be identified through the communication connection with the terminal device 2 or the user identification device provided on the bracket 1. The user identification device can be, for example, the camera of the terminal device or other sensors such as an infrared monitoring device. By obtaining the user identification information, the relative difference between the facial position of the user and the position of the terminal device 2 can be obtained, and thus the rotation state of the terminal device 2 can be adjusted according to this difference. For example, through the user identification information, the eye position of the user can be obtained, and thus the terminal device 2 can be rotated according to the eye position of the user to track the user's face in real time, so that the user can always face the terminal device 2 during use. Optionally, the user identification information can also be the gyroscope information of the terminal device 2.

[0127] The user can also control the application software of the terminal device 2 to generate corresponding state switching instructions. For example, the user can change the display state of the terminal device 2 by operating the software to full screen or windowed. According to the user's control of the software, the bracket 1 can rotate the terminal device 2 to match the display state of the terminal device 2.

[0128] The user can also control the adjustment component (such as a knob or a button, etc.) provided on the bracket 1 to generate corresponding state switching instructions, so as to directly perform real-time control according to the information input by the user through the adjustment component.

[0129] S40: Obtain a state switching instruction for whether to switch the state of the terminal device 2.

[0130] The user can switch the terminal device 2 from the first state to the second state. For example, the terminal device 2 switches from the portrait state to the landscape state. Whether to switch the state of the bracket 1 can be given by the user through the adjustment component with a corresponding state switching instruction, or the user can issue a corresponding state switching instruction through the control of the application software of the terminal device 2, or it can also be a state switching instruction given by the sensors of the terminal device 2 or the bracket 1.

[0131] S50: In response to the need to switch the state of the terminal device 2, the first housing 21 is controlled by the driving device 24 to adjust the terminal device 2 to the second state.

[0132] After the bracket 1 determines that the state of the terminal device 2 needs to be switched in the above manner, the first housing 21 can be driven to rotate by the driving device 24, so as to control the terminal device 2 to rotate to the second state to meet the user's usage requirements. For example, the terminal device 2 switches from the vertical screen state to the horizontal screen state. The first housing 21 can switch the posture of the terminal device 2 by rotating a fixed angle, such as 90 degrees.

[0133] S65: Obtain user identification information, issue a corresponding state switching instruction, and adjust the state of the terminal device 2 in real time in response to the state switching instruction.

[0134] Obtaining user identification information includes obtaining the sensor information and application control information of the terminal device 2 after communicating with the terminal device 2. Obtaining user identification information also includes obtaining the control information of the adjustment component provided on the bracket 1.

[0135] When the terminal device 2 is maintained in the first state, the user information can be identified through the communication connection with the terminal device 2 or the user identification device provided on the bracket 1. The user identification device can be, for example, the camera of the terminal device, or a sensor such as an infrared monitoring device. By obtaining the user identification information, the relative difference between the facial position of the user and the position of the terminal device 2 can be obtained, so that the rotation state of the terminal device 2 can be adjusted according to this difference. For example, through the user identification information, the eye position of the user can be obtained, so that the terminal device 2 can be rotated according to the eye position of the user to track the user's face in real time, so that the user can always face the terminal device 2 during use. Optionally, the user identification information can also be the gyroscope information of the terminal device 2.

[0136] The user can also control the application software of the terminal device 2 to generate a corresponding state switching instruction. For example, the user can change the display state of the terminal device 2 by operating the software to full screen or windowed. According to the user's control of the software, the bracket 1 can rotate the terminal device 2 to match the display state of the terminal device 2.

[0137] The user can also control the adjustment component (such as a knob or a button, etc.) provided on the bracket 1 to generate a corresponding state switching instruction, so as to directly perform real-time control according to the information input by the user through the adjustment component.

[0138] In some embodiments, after switching to the second state, the control method may further include:

[0139] Confirm whether the terminal device 2 is in the second state according to the state information of the terminal device 2. If it is not in the second state, adjust the terminal device 2 to the second state through the driving device 24.

[0140] During the process of switching states, if the first housing 21 rotates by a fixed angle, the terminal device 2 may move due to inertia and not be in the second state. In this case, the state of the terminal device 2 can be determined through the state information of the terminal device 2. If it is not in the second state, the terminal device 2 is adjusted to the second state by the driving device 24. If the terminal device 2 is in the second state, the terminal device 2 is maintained in the second state. In this way, the closed-loop control of the bracket 1 is achieved.

[0141] In summary, the bracket 1 proposed in the embodiment of the present application not only has the function of magnetic adsorption charging, but also realizes the functions of rotation and angle adjustment of the terminal device 2 through innovative design. The bracket 1 of the present application can automatically adjust the angle and direction of the terminal device 2 according to the user's settings, providing a personalized user experience. The user can control the angle of the mobile phone through the buttons on the bracket 1 or the software of the terminal device 2, realizing seamless switching from portrait to landscape to adapt to different viewing needs and application scenarios. The present application greatly improves the functionality and interactivity of the bracket 1, meeting the needs of users in the use of diverse mobile devices.

[0142] The above are only the embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be similarly included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
