[0048] The utility model discloses a bracket structure, which is convenient for use.

[0049] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] like Figures 1-11As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a support structure 100, comprising a support body 110, a first support assembly 120, and a second support assembly 130. The support body 110 includes a detection assembly. The first support assembly 120 is configured to contact a first side of a first body 200, while the second support assembly 130 is configured to contact a second side of the first body 200. The first side of the first body 200 faces away from the second side. The first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are arranged on the support body 110 with an adjustable spacing. Specifically, the first body 200, as the supported component of the support structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention, can support the first body 200 when the first side of the first body 200 contacts the first support assembly 120 and the second side of the first body 200 contacts the second support assembly 130. This ensures that the placement of the first body 200 remains constant while the support structure 100 remains in a constant position. The first body 200 can be a display screen or other component.

[0051] The detection assembly can detect the distance between the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130. The first and second support assemblies 120, 130 can clamp the first body 200. Specifically, when the first and second support assemblies 120, 130 are clamping the first body 200, the first side of the first body 200 contacts the first support assembly 120, and the second side of the first body 200 contacts the second support assembly 130. By contacting at least the first and second sides of the first body 200, the support structure 100 can provide support for the first body 200. Furthermore, in this state, the distance between the first and second support assemblies 120, 130 is the dimension between the first and second sides of the first body 200. By detecting the distance between the first and second support assemblies 120, 130, the dimension between the first and second sides of the first body 200 is determined, thereby determining whether the first body 200 is supported by the support structure 100. This allows the detection assembly to determine the placement of the first body 200.

[0052] The support structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention can detect the state of the first body 200 being supported by the support structure 100 on the basis of supporting the first body 200, thereby avoiding the user from manually setting the placement posture information and facilitating use.

[0053] For example, if the first body 200 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure having long sides and wide sides (such as a flat panel or independent display screen), when the long sides of the first body 200 are in contact with the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130, respectively, the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 is the width dimension of the first body 200. Furthermore, when the wide sides of the first body 200 are in contact with the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130, respectively, the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 is the long side dimension of the first body 200.

[0054] Take the first body 200 as a display screen as an example:

[0055] When the support structure 100 is placed in a certain posture and the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are arranged in a vertical direction, the long sides of the first body 200 are in contact with the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 respectively, so that the wide side of the first body 200 is set along the arrangement direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, thereby realizing the horizontal screen state of the first body 200.

[0056] When the support structure 100 is placed in a certain posture and the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are arranged in a vertical direction, the wide sides of the first body 200 are in contact with the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 respectively, so that the long sides of the first body 200 are set along the arrangement direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, thereby realizing the vertical screen state of the first body 200.

[0057] When the support structure 100 is placed in a certain posture and the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are arranged in a horizontal direction, the long sides of the first body 200 are respectively in contact with the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, so that the wide side of the first body 200 is set along the arrangement direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, thereby realizing the vertical screen state of the first body 200.

[0058] When the support structure 100 is placed in a certain posture and the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are arranged in a horizontal direction, the wide sides of the first body 200 are in contact with the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 respectively, so that the long sides of the first body 200 are set along the arrangement direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, thereby realizing the horizontal screen state of the first body 200.

[0059] The obtained placement posture of the first body 200 can be used as a basis for controlling the first body 200. For example, if the first body 200 is a display screen, the display direction of the first body 200 can be controlled according to the placement posture of the first body 200.

[0060] To facilitate positioning of the support structure 100, the support body 110 further includes a first connecting portion 111 for removably connecting to other components. The support structure 100 can be removably connected to other components via the first connecting portion 111, allowing the support structure 100 to serve as a connecting structure connecting the first body 200 to other components. This arrangement allows the support structure 100 in this embodiment to function independently on a support platform (such as a desktop or the floor), or alternatively, the support structure 100 can be positioned independently on a support platform, with the support body 110 connected to other components to enable the support structure 100 to be positioned on the support platform.

[0061] Taking the second body 300 as an example, in an embodiment where both the first body 200 and the second body 300 are display screens, the first body 200 can be used as an extended screen or a second screen of the second body 300 .

[0062] The support structure 100 can be detachably connected to the second body 300 via the first connection portion 111. That is, when the support structure 100 is not independently placed on the support platform, the support structure 100 can be used as a connection structure connecting the first body 200 and the second body 300. That is, the first body 200 is connected to the second body 300 via the support structure 100, and the second body 300 can be placed on the support platform, thereby allowing the first body 200 to be placed on the support platform through the support of the support structure 100.

[0063] Of course, the support structure 100 can also be placed independently on the support platform, and the first body 200 can be set on the support platform through the support structure 100, and the relative positions of the support structure 100 and the second body 300 on the support platform can be adjusted to facilitate users to use the first body 200 and the second body 300 (such as using the first body 200 as an extended screen or second screen of the second body 300, etc.).

[0064] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the detection component includes a resistor 112 and a resistance detection device for detecting the resistance 112 value of the resistor 112; the distance between the first bracket component 120 and the second bracket component 130 is in a certain proportion to the resistance 112 value of the resistor 112. That is, the detection component can be a resistor 112 type sensor (resistive position sensor), the resistance element is the above-mentioned resistor 112, and the measurement circuit is the above-mentioned resistance detection device. The resistance 112 value of the resistance element will change accordingly as the distance between the first bracket component 120 and the second bracket component 130 changes. The measurement circuit applies a constant current or voltage to the resistance element, and measures the voltage or current passing through the resistance element to calculate the value of the resistor 112. As shown Figure 6 As shown, one end of the resistor 112 is grounded, and the other end is the power supply voltage end of the circuit (such as VCC (Voltage at the Common Collector)).

[0065] Resistor 112 (resistive element) is fixed to bracket body 110. The first bracket assembly 120 and / or the second bracket assembly 130 are connected to a movable contact. When the spacing between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 changes, the contact moves, causing the value of resistor 112 to change accordingly, thereby measuring the spacing between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130. Resistor 112 can be fixedly connected to bracket body 110, and the spacing between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 can be adjusted. When the spacing between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 varies, the size of resistor 112 located between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 varies, resulting in a different value of resistor 112. The corresponding value of resistor 112 is detected by a resistance detection device, thereby determining the spacing between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130.

[0066] Specifically, the second bracket assembly 130 is positioned and connected to the first position of the bracket body 110. That is, the second bracket assembly 130 can be rotatably connected or fixedly connected to the first position of the bracket body 110. The connection position of the second bracket assembly 130 and the bracket body 110 is the first position and does not move. The first bracket assembly 120 can move relative to the bracket body 110 to adjust the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130. In this embodiment, the contact is connected to the second bracket assembly 130 and moves as the second bracket assembly 130 moves relative to the bracket body 110.

[0067] The first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 may also be movable relative to the bracket body 110 , and the contact is disposed on at least one of the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 .

[0068] It is understood that when the second body 300 is electrically connected to the support structure 100, the second body 300 can obtain the placement posture information of the first body 200 based on the detection of the detection component of the support structure 100, and control the state of the first body 200 while the first body 200 and the second body 300 are electrically connected. Because the first body 200 and the second body 300 are electrically connected, specific information about the first body 200 (such as the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) information of the first body 200) can be obtained by the system of the second body 300, thereby facilitating more accurate acquisition of the placement posture information of the first body 200 based on the detection of the detection component.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, the size of the first body 200 is A. The system of the second body 300 obtains specific information about the first body 200, including the screen size, such as 20cm x 35cm. In this state, the corresponding components of the second body 300 (such as the EC (Embedded Controller) chip) receive / read the data detected by the detection component of the support structure 100 (such as a resistance value of 10). This data is converted to the distance between the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, which is equal to the long side dimension of the first body 200 (such as 35cm). This indicates that the state of the first body 200 supported by the support structure 100 is in portrait mode, and the system of the second body 300 then controls the first body 200 to display in portrait mode.

[0070] like Figure 8 As shown, the size of the first body 200 is A. The system of the second body 300 obtains specific information about the first body 200, including the screen size, such as 20cm x 35cm. In this state, the corresponding components of the second body 300 (such as the EC (Embedded Controller) chip) receive / read the data detected by the detection component of the support structure 100 (such as a resistance value of 6). This data is converted to the distance between the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, which is equal to the long side dimension of the first body 200 (such as 20cm). This indicates that the state of the first body 200 supported by the support structure 100 is in landscape mode, and the system of the second body 300 then controls the first body 200 to display in landscape mode.

[0071] like Figure 9As shown, the size of the first body 200 is B, which is different from the size A mentioned above. The specific information of the first body 200 obtained by the system of the second body 300 includes the screen size, such as the screen size of 12cm x 20cm. In this state, the corresponding components of the second body 300 (such as the EC (Embedded Controller) chip) receive / read the data detected by the detection component of the support structure 100 (such as the resistance value of 6), and the distance between the first support component 120 and the second support component 130 is converted to the long side size of the first body 200 (such as 20cm), and it will not be judged as Figure 8 The horizontal screen state shown, combined with the specific information of the first body 200, can be concluded that the state of the first body 200 supported by the bracket structure 100 is the vertical screen state, and then the system of the second body 300 controls the vertical screen display of the first body 200.

[0072] In other embodiments, the detection component includes a distance sensor, which is used to detect the distance between the first bracket component 120 and the second bracket component 130. The distance sensor can be an ultrasonic distance sensor, an infrared distance sensor, or a laser distance sensor.

[0073] Specifically, the second bracket assembly 130 is positioned and connected to the first position of the bracket body 110, that is, the second bracket assembly 130 can be rotatably connected or fixedly connected to the first position of the bracket body 110. The connection position of the second bracket assembly 130 and the bracket body 110 is the first position and will not move; the first bracket assembly 120 can move relative to the bracket body 110, thereby adjusting the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130. Among them, the distance sensor can be provided on the bracket body 110, with the detection end of the distance sensor facing the first bracket assembly 120 and used to detect the displacement change of the first bracket assembly 120.

[0074] Alternatively, both the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 may be movable relative to the bracket body 110. A distance sensor may be connected to one of the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130, with a detection end of the distance sensor facing the other of the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130, thereby detecting a change in the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130.

[0075] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in other embodiments, the detection assembly includes a spring 113 and an elastic force detection device for detecting changes in the elastic force of the spring 113; the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 is proportional to the elastic force of the spring 113. The spring 113 can be connected between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130, or between the bracket body 110 and the first bracket assembly 120 (and / or the second bracket assembly 130). It is sufficient to ensure that the elastic force of the spring 113 changes during the adjustment of the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130.

[0076] Specifically, the second bracket assembly 130 is positioned and connected to the first position of the bracket body 110, that is, the second bracket assembly 130 can be rotatably connected or fixedly connected to the first position of the bracket body 110. The connection position of the second bracket assembly 130 and the bracket body 110 is the first position and will not move. The first bracket assembly 120 can move relative to the bracket body 110, thereby adjusting the distance between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130. Among them, the spring 113 can be connected between the bracket body 110 and the first bracket assembly 120. During the movement of the first bracket assembly 120 relative to the bracket body 110, the spring 113 elastically deforms, and its elastic force also changes accordingly. For example, the spring 113 is a compression spring, one end of which is against the bracket body 110 and the other end is against the first bracket assembly 120.

[0077] The first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 can also be moved relative to the bracket body 110. The spring 113 can be connected between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130. When the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 move relative to the bracket body 110 and the distance between them changes, the spring 113 elastically deforms and its elastic force changes accordingly.

[0078] In this embodiment, one end of the first bracket assembly 120 is rotatably connected to the bracket body 110. When the first body 200 is positioned between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, the first bracket assembly 120 rotates relative to the bracket body 110 to a first predetermined angle. The first predetermined angle can be the state where the first bracket assembly 120 is deployed (at an angle) relative to the bracket body 110, creating a space between the first bracket assembly 120 and the bracket body 110 to accommodate the first body 200. Furthermore, the first bracket assembly 120 can rotate relative to the bracket body 110 to a third predetermined angle, where the third predetermined angle is smaller than the first predetermined angle, thereby improving the structural compactness of the first bracket assembly 120 and the bracket body 110.

[0079] Furthermore, one end of the second bracket assembly 130 is rotatably connected to the bracket body 110. When the first body 200 is positioned between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, the second bracket assembly 130 rotates relative to the bracket body 110 to a second predetermined angle. The second predetermined angle can be defined as the state where the second bracket assembly 130 is deployed (at an angle) relative to the bracket body 110, thereby creating a space between the second bracket assembly 130 and the bracket body 110 to accommodate the second body 300. Furthermore, the second bracket assembly 130 can rotate relative to the bracket body 110 to a fourth predetermined angle, which is smaller than the second predetermined angle. This improves the structural compactness of the second bracket assembly 130 and the bracket body 110.

[0080] Furthermore, the first bracket assembly 120 can be extended and retracted along a first direction, which is the direction in which the two ends of the first bracket assembly 120 are arranged. One end of the first bracket assembly 120 can be connected to the bracket body 110. By extending and retracting the first bracket assembly 120 along the first direction, the length of the first bracket assembly 120 (the area in contact with the first body 200) can be adjusted to accommodate first bodies 200 of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the bracket structure 100.

[0081] Similarly, the second bracket assembly 130 can be extended and retracted along a second direction, which is the direction in which the two ends of the second bracket assembly 130 are arranged and along the extension direction thereof. One end of the second bracket assembly 130 can be connected to the bracket body 110. By extending and retracting the second bracket assembly 130 along the second direction, the length of the second bracket assembly 130 (the area in contact with the first body 200) can be adjusted to facilitate matching with first bodies 200 of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the bracket structure 100.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first bracket assembly 120 and / or the second bracket assembly 130 are slidably connected to the bracket body 110. During the sliding process, the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 maintain a parallel relationship, and the spacing between them varies. This arrangement ensures that the spacing between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 remains constant in all positions, accommodating a first body 200 having two relatively parallel sides (a first side and a second side), such as a plate or rectangular parallelepiped, thereby improving the support stability of the first body 200.

[0083] In this embodiment, one end of the first support assembly 120 is rotatably connected to and positioned with the support body 110, and one end of the second support assembly is rotatably connected to and slidably engaged with the support body 110. Specifically, when the first support assembly 120 is rotated to a first predetermined angle relative to the support body 110 and the second support assembly is rotated to a second predetermined angle relative to the support body 110, the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly are relatively parallel, or the first contact surface of the first support assembly 120 for contacting the first side of the first body 200 and the second contact surface of the second support assembly for contacting the second side of the first body 200 are parallel, thereby satisfying the parallel condition.

[0084] Of course, the first bracket assembly 120 and the second support assembly can also be connected to the bracket body 110 at a certain angle, and the first bracket assembly 120 and the second support assembly can slide along the bracket body 110, and during the sliding process, the angle between the first bracket assembly 120 and the bracket body 110 and the angle between the second bracket assembly 130 and the bracket body 110 remain unchanged.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first bracket assembly 120 and / or the second bracket assembly 130 have a through hole. When the first body 200 is arranged between the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130, the through hole can be set corresponding to the corresponding position of the first body 200 to facilitate corresponding operations. For example, the through hole can be set corresponding to the switch button of the first body 200 to facilitate the power on and off operation of the first body 200. The through hole can also be set corresponding to the plug interface of the first body 200 to facilitate the connection of external devices to the first body 200 via a cable. Among them, the plug interface can be a charging port or an information input / output port.

[0086] Specifically, the external device can be a second body 300 to facilitate information transmission, so that the first body 200 can be used as an extension component of the second body 300. For example, the first body 200 can be used as the second screen of the second body 300. The first body 200 and the second body 300 are connected by a cable, so that the screen of the second body 300 is expanded to the first body 200.

[0087] The external device can also be a power supply device (including the second body 300) to power the first body 200. The external device can also be a functional device, such as a speaker or a camera, which is connected to the first body 200 through a cable to realize the corresponding function.

[0088] To ensure that the through holes of the support structure 100 can function even when supporting different types (sizes), the through holes remain exposed when the first support assembly 120 is extended or retracted in a first direction and / or the second support assembly 130 is extended or retracted in a second direction. The first direction is the alignment direction of the two ends of the first support assembly 120, and the second direction is the alignment direction of the two ends of the second support assembly 130.

[0089] Taking the second bracket assembly 130 as an example, the second bracket assembly 130 includes a first support portion 131, an intermediate connection portion 132, and a second support portion 133, which are connected in sequence. The first support portion 131 is connected to the bracket body 110, and the intermediate connection portion 132 has a through hole. The first support portion 131 and / or the second support portion 133 can slide relative to the intermediate connection portion 132 to achieve relative proximity and separation between the first support portion 131 and the second support portion 133, thereby achieving extension and retraction of the second bracket assembly 130 along the second direction. During the extension and retraction process, the area of ​​the intermediate connection portion 132 with the through hole is not blocked by the first support portion 131 and the second support portion 133. Alternatively, the first support portion 131 and / or the second support portion 133 have a relief portion corresponding to the through hole of the intermediate connection portion 132, so that the through hole remains exposed during the extension and retraction process.

[0090] like Figure 11 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the middle connecting portion 132 and the second supporting portion 133 are an integrated structure, and the middle connecting portion 132 and the first supporting portion 131 are telescopically matched.

[0091] Of course, the structures of the first bracket assembly 120 and the second bracket assembly 130 can be identical and symmetrically arranged.

[0092] In order to improve the stability of the first body 200 on the bracket structure 100, the first support portion 131 and the second support portion 133 can have a groove structure (such as a U-shaped groove), and the side edges (first side and second side) of the first body 200 can be embedded in the groove structure to position the first body 200.

[0093] The embodiment of the present invention further provides an electronic device, comprising a first body 200, a second body 300 and a support structure 100. The support structure 100 can be electrically connected to the second body 300.

[0094] The support structure 100 includes a support body 110, a first support assembly 120, and a second support assembly 130. The support body 110 has a detection assembly. The first support assembly 120 is used to contact the first side of the first body 200; the second support assembly 130 is used to contact the second side of the first body 200. The first side of the first body 200 is opposite to the second side. The first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are arranged on the support body 110 so that the distance between them can be adjusted. The detection assembly of the second support assembly 130 can detect the distance between the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130. The first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 can clamp the first body 200.

[0095] When the first body 200 is disposed between the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 , the support structure 100 transmits the spacing value detected by its detection assembly to the second body 300 .

[0096] From the above, it can be seen that the placement posture information of the first body 200 can be obtained by the spacing value detected by the detection component. The second body 300 controls the first body 200 accordingly based on the placement posture of the first body 200, avoiding the user from manually setting the placement posture information of the first body 200, and facilitating the use of the electronic device.

[0097] The first body 200 and the second body 300 can be electrically connected, allowing the second body 300 to obtain / read specific information about the first body 200 (such as the EDID information of the first body 200, including the screen size). This information can then be combined with the detection data from the detection component to determine the placement of the first body 200. The corresponding software in the second body 300 can automatically modify the display mode (operating state) of the first body 200 in the system settings to a mode that matches the placement of the first body 200.

[0098] For example, the first body 200 is a display screen, the second body 300 is a device with a control system (such as an AIO (All In One) or a laptop computer, etc.), and the first body 200 serves as an extended screen (second screen) of the second body 300. On the basis that the bracket structure 100 can support the second body 300, the spacing data detected by the detection component is transmitted to the second body 300, so that the bracket structure 100 can transmit the state of supporting the first body 200 (the placement posture of the first body 200) to the second body 300, so that the placement posture of the first body 200 controls the display state of the first body 200 (such as horizontal screen state and vertical screen state).

[0099] Specifically, the first body 200 includes a first display screen, and the second body 300 adjusts the working state of the first display screen, and the working state of the first display screen includes a horizontal screen state and a vertical screen state;

[0100] In landscape mode, the short side of the first display screen extends along the alignment direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130. When the support structure 100 is connected to the side of the second body 300 via the first connecting portion 111, the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are aligned vertically, and the short side of the first display screen extends along the alignment direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, so that the long side of the first display screen contacts the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130. In other words, the long side of the first display screen is arranged horizontally or approximately horizontally.

[0101] In the portrait mode, the long side of the first display screen extends along the arrangement direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130. Similarly, when the support structure 100 is connected to the side of the second body 300 via the first connection portion 111, the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130 are arranged in a vertical direction, and the long side of the first display screen extends along the arrangement direction of the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130, so that the short side of the first display screen contacts the first support assembly 120 and the second support assembly 130. In other words, the short side of the first display screen is arranged horizontally or approximately horizontally.

[0102] Since the long side of the first display screen is larger than the short side of the first display screen, the working state of the first display screen can be determined to be a horizontal state or a vertical state according to the spacing data detected by the detection component of the support structure 100 .

[0103] in,

[0104] When the first body 200 is placed in a horizontal position, the distance value detected by the detection component is the first distance (such as the short side dimension of the first body 200), and the second body 300 adjusts the working state of the first display screen to a horizontal state;

[0105] When the first body 200 is placed in a vertical orientation, the spacing value detected by the detection component is a second spacing (such as the long side dimension of the first body 200 ), and the second body 300 adjusts the working state of the first display screen to a vertical state.

[0106] In the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the second body 300 includes a second display screen; the support structure 100 is positioned and connected to the second display screen, and the display information of the second display screen is associated with the display information of the first display screen. Among them, the first connecting portion 111 of the support body 110 can realize the structural connection with the second display screen.

[0107] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 111 can be a first card slot structure and a second card slot structure respectively located at both ends of the bracket body 110. When the bracket structure 100 is connected to the second body 300, the first card slot structure is plugged into and fitted with the top edge of the second body 300, and the second card slot structure is plugged into and fitted with the bottom edge of the second body 300.

[0108] Of course, the first connection portion 111 can also be set to other structures, as long as it is ensured that the bracket body 110 can be connected to the second body 300 through the first connection portion 111. There is no specific restriction here and it is within the protection scope.
