Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic controller bracket technology, specifically to a bracket for physical buttons. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of touchscreen technology, physical buttons on screens have been gradually replaced by solid-state buttons. It's now rare to find physical buttons on the screens of emerging electronic products on the market. While touchscreen technology has various advantages, it lacks the distinct tactile feedback of physical buttons. Some users crave this tactile feedback, especially since it provides a sense of touch and helps users develop muscle memory for button locations. This is particularly important for automotive multimedia screens. Therefore, physical buttons are still needed by some users, leading to the development of external physical button adapters for touchscreens. These external button adapters need to be used with the touchscreen and cannot obstruct the screen; they must be fixed to the edge of the touchscreen. Therefore, a flexible and stable bracket is required for their installation along the screen edge. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a bracket for physical buttons that can be quickly and easily installed on the edge of an electronic screen.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted: a bracket for a physical button, comprising a mounting body, an end support plate, and a support adjustment mechanism.

[0005] The mounting body is a horizontal sliding groove structure adapted to the shape of the button, ensuring that the button is pushed into and pushed out of the sliding groove from both sides. The mounting body includes a limiting back plate, a limiting upper plate, and a limiting lower plate. The leading edge of the limiting lower plate is a vertically downward extending retaining plate. The limiting lower plate and the retaining plate form a retaining groove for mounting on the edge of the screen.

[0006] The end support plate is used to support the screen back panel.

[0007] The support adjustment mechanism includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. Both ends of the first and second connecting plates are hinged ends. One end of the first connecting plate is hinged to the back of the limiting back plate of the mounting body, serving as the first angle adjustment point. The other end of the first connecting plate is hinged to one end of the second connecting plate, serving as the second angle adjustment point. The other end of the second connecting plate is hinged to the non-supporting side of the end support plate, serving as the third angle adjustment point. The three angle adjustment points are hinged using hinge bolts, ensuring that the two connecting bodies can rotate around the axis under external force.

[0008] Furthermore, the first angle adjustment point is located at the geometric center of the back of the limiting backplate.

[0009] Furthermore, the third angle adjustment point is located at the geometric center of the non-supporting side of the end support plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance from the first angle adjustment point to the second angle adjustment point is equal to the distance from the third angle adjustment point to the second angle adjustment point.

[0011] Furthermore, anti-slip strips are provided on the side of the lower limiting plate and the card plate that is in contact with the edge of the screen.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are as follows: The main body is designed with a horizontally sliding button mounting slot, and a slot at the lower edge of the mounting slot is provided to fit the edge of the screen, allowing the button mounting body to be installed on the screen. The main body, support adjustment mechanism, and end support plate form three hinge points through hinges, which can adapt to screens of different thicknesses by cooperating with the slot. The main body acts as the fixed end, and the end support plate acts as the end support. The angle is adjusted by the support adjustment mechanism to form a stable triangular support that will not fall off under the external force of the button. This invention has a simple structure, facilitates button installation, is compatible with multiple screen models, and can be stably fixed to the electronic screen through its physical structure.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, further illustrates the points, such as... Figure 1-6As shown, a bracket for a physical button is provided, including a mounting body 1, an end support plate 2, and a support adjustment mechanism, wherein...

[0022] The mounting body 1 is a horizontal sliding groove structure adapted to the shape of the button 5. The horizontal sliding groove has openings at both ends to ensure that the button 5 can be pushed into and pushed out of the groove from both sides. The mounting body 1 includes a limiting back plate 100, a limiting upper plate 101, and a limiting lower plate 102. The leading edge of the limiting lower plate 102 is a vertically downward extending retaining plate 103. The limiting lower plate 102 and the retaining plate 103 form a slot for mounting on the edge of the screen. Anti-slip strips 6 are provided on the surfaces of the limiting lower plate 102 and the retaining plate 103 that contact the edge of the screen to prevent the mounting body 1 from shifting laterally. A hinge seat 900 is provided on the back of the limiting back plate 100, and this hinge seat 900 is located at the geometric center of the back of the limiting back plate 100.

[0023] The end support plate 2 is used to support the screen back panel, and a hinge joint 901 is provided at the geometric center of its back side.

[0024] The support adjustment mechanism includes a first connecting plate 3 and a second connecting plate 4. The first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4 have the same specifications and dimensions, and each has a hinge joint 901 at one end and a hinge seat 900 at the other end. The hinge joint 901 of the first connecting plate 3 is hinged to the hinge seat 900 on the back of the limiting back plate 100 of the mounting body 1 by a hinge bolt 902. This is the first angle adjustment point. The hinge seat 900 of the first connecting plate 3 is hinged to the hinge joint 901 of the second connecting plate 4 by a hinge bolt 902. This is the second angle adjustment point. The hinge seat 900 of the second connecting plate 4 is hinged to the hinge joint 901 on the back of the end support plate 2 by a hinge bolt 902. This is the third angle adjustment point. When these three angle adjustment points are hinged using hinge bolts 902, sufficient preload needs to be applied to ensure that the two connecting bodies can rotate around the axis under external force.

[0025] In use, the mounting body 1 is snapped into the edge of the screen, allowing direct force to be applied to the end support plate 2, which in turn acts on the back panel of the screen. Since all three angle adjustment points are hinged, they rotate adaptively under external force, forming a stable triangular fulcrum, thus ensuring stable installation on the screen. The use of the same specifications for the first connecting plate 3 and the second connecting plate 4 ensures that the lever arm from the first angle adjustment point to the second angle adjustment point is equal to the lever arm from the third angle adjustment point to the second angle adjustment point, thus accommodating thicker screens.

[0026] When applying this invention, the upper edge of the screen is preferred, but not limited to the upper edge. Since the three angle adjustment points have sufficient preload when hinged, when the mounting body, end support plate, first connecting plate and second connecting plate form a triangular fixed support state, there is a certain clamping force, which allows this invention to be fixed on the screen.

[0027] This utility model is not limited to this embodiment. Any equivalent concept or modification within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model shall be included in the protection scope of this utility model.
