[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of various embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle-mounted IPAD bracket, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, it includes a bracket assembly 2 installed on the inner side of the car seat back 1 and a charging bracket 3 detachably connected to the bracket assembly 2. The bracket assembly 2 has a slot 4 for the charging bracket 3 to be inserted. A PAD door 5 is provided at the notch of the slot 4 and the notch of the slot 4 is arranged toward the outer side of the car seat back 1. The PAD door 5 is rotatably connected to the charging bracket 3.

[0033] The charging bracket 3 includes an insertion end 31 for inserting into the PAD door 5 and a use end 32 having a charging port. The insertion end 31 is inserted into the slot 4 to communicate with an external charging circuit.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, the PAD door 5 is positioned at the notch of the slot 4. When the charging holder 3 is not mounted on the charging assembly, it effectively prevents foreign matter, dust, and other impurities from entering the slot 4, ensuring that the charging holder 3 maintains good contact with the external charging circuit after insertion into the notch of the slot 4, thereby improving the reliability and practicality of the vehicle-mounted IPAD holder. During the insertion of the charging holder 3, the PAD door 5 rotates to make way, eliminating the need for the user to remove the PAD door 5, making operation more convenient.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, elastic pins 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slot 4, mounting holes 7 for installing the elastic pins 6 are opened on both sides of the charging bracket 3, and positioning grooves 8 for the elastic pins 6 to be clamped are opened on both sides of the charging bracket 3.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the elastic pin 6 cooperates with the positioning groove 8 to limit the charging bracket 3 to the slot 4, thereby avoiding the situation where the charging bracket 3 is loosened from the slot 4 due to vehicle bumps during driving and interrupting charging.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the elastic pin 6 is a telescopic end 9, and the telescopic end 9 is located in the slot 4;

[0038] The side of the elastic pin 6 close to the telescopic end 9 has a convex ring 10, which abuts against the groove wall of the slot 4. The side of the elastic pin 6 away from the telescopic end 9 is detachably connected to a limiting ring piece 11, and the limiting ring piece 11 abuts against the charging bracket 3 on the side facing the telescopic end 9.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting ring groove 12 is provided on the outer wall of the elastic pin 6, and a clearance hole 13 is provided on the limiting ring piece 11 for it to be sleeved in the limiting ring groove 12. The limiting ring piece 11 is sleeved and clamped in the limiting ring groove 12, and the limiting ring piece 11 is elastic.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the convex ring 10 and the elastic pin 6 are integrally formed, and the limiting ring piece 11 is separately provided with the elastic pin 6. When installing the elastic pin 6, the elastic pin is inserted from the inside of the slot 4 so that the convex ring 10 is against the inner wall of the slot 4. At this time, the limiting ring groove 12 is located outside the slot 4. Then the limiting ring piece 11 is snapped into the limiting ring groove 12 so that the limiting ring piece 11 is against the bracket assembly 2 to fix the elastic pin 6.

[0041] Because the limiting ring piece 11 has a certain degree of elasticity, when the clearance hole 13 of the limiting ring piece 11 is aligned with the limiting ring groove 12 and inserted, the inner diameter of the clearance hole 13 is squeezed and expanded. After the limiting ring piece 11 is completely inserted into the limiting ring groove 12, the clearance hole 13 returns to its original position, thereby preventing the limiting ring piece 11 from falling off the elastic pin 6. The telescopic end 9 of the elastic pin 6 is formed by a ball plunger slidably connected to its body and a spring connected between the body and the ball plunger, which is a conventional technology.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the charging bracket 3 includes an adjusting rod 14 and a card block 15, the card block 15 is inserted into the positioning groove 8, the adjusting rod 14 is arranged on the side of the card block 15 away from the notch of the positioning groove 8, one end of the card block 15 is against the adjusting rod 14, and the side of the adjusting rod 14 close to the card block 15 is provided with a makeshift groove 16 for the card block 15 to move into. The adjusting rod 14 is close to the notch of the positioning groove 8 to drive the card block 15 to move out of the makeshift groove 16 so that the end of the card block 15 away from the adjusting rod 14 is flush with the notch of the positioning groove 8, and the end of the adjusting rod 14 close to the card block 15 is provided with a compression spring 17, which drives the adjusting rod 14 to reset so that the card block 15 moves into the makeshift groove 16.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, mounting grooves 18 are provided on both sides of the insertion end 31, and an adjusting block 19 is fixed to the side of the adjusting rod 14 away from the card block 15. One end of the adjusting block 19 is located in the mounting groove 18, and the mounting groove 18 leaves a margin for the adjusting block 19 to slide along the height direction of the charging bracket 3. When the compression spring 17 is not squeezed by external force, one end of the card block 15 is located in the makeshift groove 16, and the other end of the card block 15 is located in the positioning groove 8, and the positioning groove 8 leaves a margin for the telescopic end 9 to be inserted. When the passenger pushes the adjustment block 19 in the direction close to the positioning slot 8, the compression spring 17 deforms and contracts, and the adjustment rod 14 is shifted along with the adjustment block 19. One end of the card block 15 moves out of the clearance slot 16. At the same time, the other end of the card block 15 pushes out the telescopic end 9 located in the positioning slot 8, releasing the locking state between the charging bracket 3 and the charging assembly, allowing the passenger to smoothly pull the charging bracket 3 out of the slot 4. Then the passenger releases the compression block, the compression spring 17 resets, the adjustment rod 14 shifts in the opposite direction, and one end of the card block 15 returns to the clearance slot 16 so that the telescopic end 9 of the elastic pin can be engaged with the positioning slot 8 during subsequent installation.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bracket assembly 2 is provided with a receiving groove 20 connected to the slot 4, and a rotating shaft 21 is provided in the receiving groove 20. One side of the PAD door 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 21, and the PAD door 5 rotates along the rotating shaft 21 to retract or move out of the receiving groove 20.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the PAD door 5 plays a role in dust protection, reducing the probability of impurities entering the slot 4 and affecting the poor contact between the charging bracket 3 and the external charging circuit, thereby improving the reliability and practicality of the vehicle-mounted IPAD bracket.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a torsion spring 22 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 21 , one end of the torsion spring 22 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove 20 , and the other end of the torsion spring 22 abuts against the side of the PAD door 5 close to the slot 4 .

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the charging stand 3 is inserted into the slot 4, the PAD door 5 is pushed to rotate about the rotation axis 21 toward the inside of the slot 4 and be stored in the receiving groove 20, causing the torsion spring 22 to deform under force. When the charging stand 3 is removed from the slot 4, the torsion spring 22 returns to its original position, driving the PAD door 5 to restore and re-cover the notch of the slot 4. During the installation of the charging stand 3, the passenger does not need to remove or close the PAD door 5, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove 23 is defined on the upper edge of the PAD door 5 , and one end of the torsion spring 22 is inserted into the limiting groove 23 .

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection reliability between the torsion spring 22 and the PAD door 5 is improved, avoiding the situation where the force acting on the PAD door 5 is offset during the recovery process after the torsion spring 22 is deformed by force, resulting in incomplete resetting of the PAD door 5.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, ears 24 are protruding from both sides of the bracket assembly 2 , and a buffer plate 25 is fixed to the side of the ear 24 away from the PAD door 5 .

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment, during actual vehicle driving, there is a situation where the bumpy road causes the bracket assembly 2 to vibrate, affecting the reliability of the connection structure between the charging bracket 3 and the bracket assembly 2. By providing a buffer plate 25, the vibration of the bracket assembly 2 is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the charging assembly.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a rib 26 is protruded from a side of the bracket assembly 2 away from the PAD door 5 .

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, by strengthening the structural strength of the bracket assembly 2, the probability of deformation of the bracket assembly 2 caused by frequent plugging and unplugging of the charging bracket 3 is reduced.

[0054] In summary, the bracket assembly 2 is pre-assembled on the inner side of the car seat back 1, and the charging bracket 3 can be plugged into the bracket assembly 2 at any time according to charging needs to power the IPAD or removed from the bracket assembly 2 and stored. When charging is not required, it does not occupy the space of the rear seat passengers, thereby improving the cleanliness of the space inside the car.

[0055] When passengers in the back seat need to charge their iPad, they do not need to carry a separate charger or place the iPad on the front seat to charge. They can use the device while charging in the back seat, which improves the passenger experience and is more convenient.

[0056] The charging bracket 3 is installed on the inner side of the vehicle seat back 1, eliminating the space between the rear seat and the front seat back, thereby improving space utilization. When installing the charging bracket 3, a passenger aligns the insertion end 31 of the charging bracket 3 with the slot 4. During insertion, the elastic pin 6 engages with the positioning groove 8, completing the installation and positioning of the charging bracket 3. To remove the charging bracket 3, a passenger first pushes the adjustment rod 14, causing the clamping block 15 to move from the clearance groove 16 to the surface of the adjustment rod 14. The clamping block 15 pushes the telescopic end 9 of the elastic pin 6 out of the positioning groove 8, and then removes the charging bracket 3 from the slot 4. This is a quick and convenient operation.
