DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention are further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the following embodiments do not limit the utility model involved in the claims. In addition, not all combinations of features described in the embodiments are necessarily required for the solution of the utility model.
[0033] The principle and structure of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] Example
[0035] like Figure 1 、 2As shown in FIG. , a bracket for an expansion dock 5 suitable for a Tesla electric vehicle comprises a first frame 1 for fixing the expansion dock 5 in a central control storage box 4 of the electric vehicle and a second frame 2 connected to the first frame 1 , wherein the second frame 2 is provided with a clamping head 21 for clamping into a slot for a button 6 of a rear seat of the electric vehicle.
[0036] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the first frame 1 includes a frame for being mounted on the expansion dock 5. The frame is equivalent to a frame, and the expansion dock 5 is installed in the frame for fixation. The frame includes a back panel 11 that supports the back side of the expansion dock 5 and side panels 12 that support the two end sides of the expansion dock 5. The lower edges of the back panel 11 and the side panels 12 have an inwardly bent lower edge 13, which can be used to support the lower end side of the expansion dock 5. Since the front upper side and upper end surface of the expansion dock 5 are provided with a wiring port, and the lower end surface of the expansion dock 5 is connected to the wire 3, the front side surface, top surface and lower end surface of the frame are open. The two opposite end sides of the frame are provided with extensions 14 that lock the side of the central control storage box 4. The extensions 14 extend to both sides and can be used to lock on the steps on the side of the central control storage box 4. The outer contour of the frame is similar to the contour of the end side of the central control storage box 4, so that the frame can be snugly arranged on one end side of the central control storage box 4. The central control storage box 4 of the Tesla car is located in the center of the center console and has a large capacity, which is convenient for placing the expansion dock 5.
[0037] The two buttons 6 for adjusting the rear seats of the Tesla Model Y vehicle are located on the side wall of the trunk, and the button 6 slots are two grooves located on the button 6 plate.
[0038] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the second frame 2 is a plate, and the clamp 21 is located on the back of the plate. The clamp 21 has an opening in the middle, making it elastic. The clamp 21 is inserted into the slot of the button 6, thereby fixing the second frame 2 to the button 6 slot. This allows the docking station 5 to be fixed to the side wall of the trunk for use. To ensure that the button 6 is not affected, the second frame 2 is also provided with a clearance hole 23 corresponding to the button 6.
[0039] The first frame and the second frame are detachably connected. When the expansion dock 5 needs to be placed in the central control storage box 4, the second frame can be removed. When the expansion dock 5 needs to be fixed on the side wall of the trunk for use, the first frame and the second frame can be connected.
[0040] In order to achieve a detachable connection between the first frame and the second frame, this embodiment adopts that a socket 15 is provided on the first frame 1, and a plug 22 that can be inserted into the socket 15 is provided on the second frame 2. The plug 22 is inserted into the socket 15 to achieve the connection between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, that is, the detachable connection is achieved by plugging the plug 22 into the socket 15.
[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of the plug 22 is circumferentially distributed with several protruding springs 221. The insertion hole 15 is a triangular hole, and the plug 22 is provided with three such springs 221, corresponding to the three sides of the triangular hole. The ends of the springs 221 are provided with radially outwardly facing ridges 2211. The entrance of the insertion hole 15 has a guide slope 151 to guide the insertion of the springs. In other words, the insertion hole 15 is a tapered hole with a slightly larger entrance and gradually decreasing inward. The entrance is larger than the end of the plug 22 to facilitate the insertion of the springs 221. When the springs 221 are inserted inward along the guide slope 151, the guide slope 151 brings the springs 221 closer together. The insertion hole 15 is provided with an extension 14 to retain the ridges 2211.
[0042] The extension 14 of this embodiment is a stepped hole 152 provided at the end of the socket, that is, the other end of the socket 15 is larger, so that the end of the hole has a step. When the ridge 2211 at the end of the spring piece 221 is inserted into this position, the ridge 2211 is outwardly locked at the step, thereby increasing the radial locking force between the plug 22 and the socket 15. Of course, the ridge 2211 should not be too large, so that when the plug 22 needs to be pulled out of the socket 15, the spring piece 221 can be deformed under the pressure of the ridge 2211 and the step with just a little force, thereby pulling the plug 22 out of the socket 15.
[0043] In this embodiment, the jacks 15 are multiple and are provided on the back panel 11. The second frame 2 is provided with multiple plugs 22 corresponding to the jacks 15.
[0044] The plug 22 is provided with a through hole 222 communicating with the socket 15, that is, the plug 22 is a tube with a triangular cross-section, and the spring 221 is a tube wall extending along the end of the tube, so as to reduce material usage and heat dissipation on the back side of the expansion dock 5.
[0045] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the present invention. Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0046] Although some terms are used more frequently in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present invention; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the present invention. The execution order of actions, steps, etc. in the devices and methods shown in the specification and drawings can be implemented in any order as long as there is no special explicit limitation on the order, and as long as the output of the previous processing is not used in the subsequent processing. Similar sequential terms (for example, "first", "next", "secondly", "again", "then", etc.) used for the convenience of description do not mean that they must be implemented in such an order.
[0047] Those skilled in the art should understand that all directional references (for example, above, below, upward, up, downward, down, top, bottom, left, right, vertical, horizontal, etc.) are used descriptively in the drawings to facilitate the reader's understanding, and do not represent limitations (for example, on position, orientation or use, etc.) on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. They are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. The directional words "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0048] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figures. For example, if the device in the drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0049] In addition, some vague terms (e.g., substantially, certain, approximately, etc.) may refer to slight imprecision or slight deviation of conditions, quantities, values, or dimensions, some of which are within manufacturing variations or tolerances. It should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, these terms have no special meanings and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
