[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and more particularly to a bracket. Background Technology

[0002] People often need to use mobile devices for navigation while driving. In related technologies, one end of a bracket is used to hold the mobile device, while the other end has adhesive or a suction cup. For example, adhesive is used to attach the bracket to the vehicle's interior, and the suction cup is used to attach it to the interior. When adjusting the bracket, the connecting part is usually bent. During this bending process, the force on the connecting bracket can easily be transferred to the end of the bracket that connects to the vehicle, causing the bracket to easily detach. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, embodiments of this application aim to provide a bracket to improve the problem that the bracket is prone to falling off the vehicle during the bending process.

[0004] This application provides a bracket, including:

[0005] The carrier component is used to carry the mobile terminal;

[0006] Mounting components are used to connect to the support surface of the mounting object;

[0007] A connecting component connects the carrier component and the mounting component. The connecting component includes a first connecting structure and a second connecting structure that are interconnected. The end of the first connecting structure away from the second connecting structure is connected to the mounting component, and the end of the second connecting structure away from the first connecting structure is connected to the carrier component.

[0008] Wherein, the first connecting structure is a rigid component, and the second connecting structure includes at least a flexible part, which is connected to the first connecting structure and can be bent and deformed under the action of external force.

[0009] In some implementations, the second connection structure is entirely a flexible portion.

[0010] In some embodiments, the support includes a wrapping layer that at least covers the second connection structure.

[0011] In some implementations, the wrapping layer also covers one end of the first connecting structure near the second connecting structure and is connected to the first connecting structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the connecting component is flat, and the flexible portion is bendable in the thickness direction of the connecting component;

[0013] And / or, in the thickness direction of the connecting component, the maximum thickness of the first connecting structure is greater than the thickness of any part of the second connecting structure.

[0014] In some implementations, the first connection structure includes a connection segment and a main body segment, the connection segment being connected to the second connection structure, and the main body segment being connected to the mounting assembly;

[0015] The connecting component is flat, and in the thickness direction of the connecting component, the thickness of the main body segment is greater than the thickness of the connecting segment, and the wrapping layer covers the connecting segment.

[0016] In some embodiments, in the thickness direction of the connecting component, the difference between the thickness of the second connecting structure and the thickness of the connecting segment does not exceed 2 mm, and the thickness of the second connecting structure is less than the thickness of the main body segment.

[0017] In some embodiments, the end face of the wrapping layer abuts against the end face of the body segment in the extension direction of the connecting assembly, and the surface of the wrapping layer is flush with the surface of the body segment.

[0018] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly includes a base and a fastener. The base has a shaft portion, and the end of the first connecting structure away from the second connecting structure has a rotating portion. The rotating portion is fitted around the outer periphery of the shaft portion. The fastener is used to lock or unlock the rotating portion and the shaft portion. When the fastener unlocks the rotating portion and the shaft portion, the rotating portion can rotate relative to the shaft portion.

[0021] The bracket provided in this application embodiment, when the user applies a force to the second connecting structure to cause the flexible part to bend and deform, since the first connecting structure is a rigid component, on the one hand, the first connecting structure can provide a certain reaction force to the second connecting structure, which makes it easy for the user to bend and deform the bending part; on the other hand, the first connecting structure will not basically follow the flexible part to produce a large bending deformation, which can reduce the impact of the bending deformation of the flexible part on the installation components, so as to ensure the stability of the bracket on the support surface of the installation object.

[0036] This application provides a bracket; please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a support component 10, a mounting component 20, and a connecting component 30.

[0037] The support assembly 10 is used to support the mobile terminal. It is understood that the mobile terminal can be placed on the support assembly 10, and the bracket can provide support for the mobile terminal placed on the support assembly 10.

[0038] Mounting assembly 20 is used to connect to the support surface of the object to be mounted. It is understood that mounting assembly 20 is capable of transferring the load on the bracket to the support surface.

[0039] It should be noted that the installation object refers to the object used to place the bracket. For example, the installation object can be the center console of the vehicle or the glass of the vehicle. This application does not limit the installation object.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific method by which the mounting component 20 is connected to the support surface of the object to be installed is not limited. For example, the mounting component 20 can be bonded to the support surface by means of adhesion, or it can be adsorbed onto the support surface by the difference between the internal and external atmospheric pressure.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5The connecting component 30 connects the support component 10 and the mounting component 20. The connecting component 30 includes a first connecting structure 31 and a second connecting structure 32 that are connected to each other. The end of the first connecting structure 31 away from the second connecting structure 32 is connected to the mounting component 20, and the end of the second connecting structure 32 away from the first connecting structure 31 is connected to the support component 10.

[0042] It is understandable that the weight of the mobile terminal placed on the support component 10 can be transferred to the mounting component 20 via the connecting component 30, and thus to the support surface of the object being mounted.

[0043] The bracket provided in this embodiment has a first connecting structure 31 that is a rigid component, and a second connecting structure 32 that includes at least a flexible portion connected to the first connecting structure 31. The flexible portion can bend and deform under external force and returns to its original shape after the external force is removed. This allows adjustment of the support angle of the bearing assembly 10 on the mobile terminal through the bending deformation of the flexible portion, thereby adjusting the viewing angle of the mobile terminal. Thus, when a user applies force to the second connecting structure 32, causing the flexible portion to bend, the first connecting structure 31, being a rigid component, provides a certain reaction force to the second connecting structure 32, facilitating bending deformation. Furthermore, the first connecting structure 31 does not undergo significant bending deformation along with the flexible portion, reducing the impact of the bending deformation on the mounting assembly 20 and ensuring the stability of the bracket on the support surface of the mounting object.

[0044] It should be noted that a rigid component refers to a component that, relative to a flexible component, has a certain structural strength and maintains its shape under the action of an external force that can cause the flexible component to bend.

[0045] It should be noted that the flexible part refers to the part formed by a portion of the second connecting structure 32, which can be bent and deformed under the action of external force, and can maintain the bent shape after the external force is removed.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second connection structure 32 is entirely flexible. It is understood that the user can apply force to the second connection structure 32, causing the entire second connection structure 32 to bend and deform, thus fully utilizing the dimensions of the second connection structure 32 to increase the range of angles at which the user can adjust the support of the support component 10 to the mobile terminal.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The connecting component 30 is flat. Understandably, the dimension of the connecting component 30 in the thickness direction is smaller than that in other directions. On the one hand, this makes the structure of the bracket compact and the appearance neat; on the other hand, it makes it easier for the user to bend the second connecting structure 32 along the thickness direction, which facilitates the user to adjust the support angle of the load-bearing component 10 and improves the user's ease of operation.

[0048] The flexible part is bendable in the thickness direction of the connecting component 30. It is understood that the flexible part has a small dimension in the thickness direction, so the user needs to apply less force when bending the flexible part in the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, making it easier for the user to bend.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, the maximum thickness of the first connecting structure 31 is greater than the thickness of any part of the second connecting structure 32. This ensures the structural strength of the first connecting structure 31 in the thickness direction of the connecting component 30. On the one hand, it increases the reaction force provided by the first connecting structure 31 to the second connecting structure 32, facilitating bending deformation of the bent portion by the user. On the other hand, it reduces the impact of bending deformation of the flexible portion on the mounting component 20, thus ensuring the stability of the bracket supported on the mounting surface of the object.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The first connection structure 31 includes a connection segment 31b and a main body segment 31a. The connection segment 31b is connected to the second connection structure 32, and the main body segment 31a is connected to the mounting component 20.

[0051] It should be noted that the first connecting structure 31 can be an integral structure to improve the overall structural strength of the first connecting structure 31, or it can be a split structure to facilitate assembly.

[0052] For example, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, the thickness of the main body segment 31a is ( Figure 5 D1 in the figure is greater than the thickness of the connecting segment 31b. Figure 5In the context of D2), where D1 > D2, the wrapping layer 40 covers the connecting segment 31b. It is understood that the thickness of the main body segment 31a is greater than the thickness of the connecting segment 31b. On one hand, this reduces the likelihood of the wrapping layer 40 protruding from the surface of the main body segment 31a when covering the connecting segment 31b, thus improving the neatness of the appearance of the connecting assembly 30. On the other hand, the stiffness of the main body segment 31a is greater than the stiffness of the connecting segment 31b, and the stiffness of the connecting segment 31b is greater than the stiffness of the second connecting structure 32. This stiffness gradient change prevents the bending deformation of the second connecting structure 32 from affecting the mounting assembly 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the mounting assembly 20 and the support surface of the object being mounted.

[0053] It should be noted that the thickness direction refers to... Figure 3 The arrow indicates the direction of the thickness.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, the thickness D3 of the second connecting structure 32 is... Figure 5 The difference between the thickness D3 of the second connecting structure 32 and the thickness D2 of the connecting segment 31b does not exceed 2mm, that is, |D2-D3|≤2mm, and the thickness D3 of the second connecting structure 32 is less than the thickness D1 of the main body segment 31a, that is, D1>D3.

[0055] Thus, limiting the difference between the thickness D3 of the second connecting structure 32 and the thickness D2 of the connecting segment 31b can, on the one hand, improve the flatness of the wrapping layer 40 at the connection between the second connecting structure 32 and the connecting segment 31b; on the other hand, it can increase the allowable error between the second connecting structure 32 and the first connecting structure 31, thereby reducing the manufacturing precision of the connecting component 30.

[0056] For example, in the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, the thickness D3 of the second connecting structure 32 is 1.0mm to 2.0mm, that is, 1mm≤D3≤2mm.

[0057] For example, in the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, the thickness D2 of the connecting segment 31b is 1.5mm to 2.0mm, that is, 1.5mm≤D2≤2mm.

[0058] For example, in the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, the thickness D1 of the main body segment 31a is 3.0mm to 3.5mm, that is, 3mm≤D1≤3.5mm.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5The support includes a covering layer 40, which at least covers the second connecting structure 32. It is understood that when the second connecting structure 32 undergoes bending deformation under external force, the covering layer 40 can protect the second connecting structure 32, reducing the possibility of damage to the second connecting structure 32 during bending deformation and improving the ductility of the second connecting structure 32.

[0060] It should be noted that the specific structure of the wrapping layer 40 is not limited; for example, it can be a rubber layer.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The wrapping layer 40 also covers the end of the first connecting structure 31 near the second connecting structure 32 and is connected to the first connecting structure 31. In this way, the wrapping layer 40 can protect both the second connecting structure 32 and a portion of the first connecting structure 31, while also increasing the connection strength between the first and second connecting structures 31 and reducing the possibility of damage at the connection point between the first and second connecting structures 31 when the second connecting structure 32 undergoes bending deformation.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The end face of the wrapping layer 40 and the end face of the main body segment 31a are aligned in the extending direction of the connecting component 30, and the surface of the wrapping layer 40 is flush with the surface of the main body segment 31a. This improves the neatness of the appearance of the connecting component 30 and enhances the aesthetic appeal of the bracket.

[0063] It should be noted that the specific structure of the second connecting structure 32 is not limited; the specific structure of the first connecting structure 31 is not limited.

[0064] In some embodiments, the second connecting structure 32 is made of aluminum, copper, or iron. It is understood that the good ductility of aluminum, copper, or iron allows the second connecting structure 32 to bend under external force, enabling the user to apply a small force to bend the second connecting structure 32 to adjust the support angle of the supporting component 10 on the mobile terminal, thus facilitating the user to adjust the viewing angle of the mobile terminal.

[0065] It should be noted that the specific connection method between the first connection structure 31 and the mounting component 20 is not limited.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4and Figure 7 The mounting assembly 20 includes a base 21 and a fastener 22. The base 21 has a shaft portion 21a. The end of the first connecting structure 31 away from the second connecting structure 32 has a rotating portion 31c. The rotating portion 31c is sleeved on the outer periphery of the shaft portion 21a. The fastener 22 is used to lock or unlock the rotating portion 31c and the shaft portion 21a. When the fastener 22 unlocks the rotating portion 31c and the shaft portion 21a, the rotating portion 31c can rotate relative to the shaft portion 21a.

[0067] It is understood that by controlling the locking of the rotating part 31c and the shaft part 21a through the fastener 22, the rotation of the rotating part 31c relative to the shaft part 21a can be controlled, making it convenient for the user to rotate the first connecting structure 31. For example, when the fastener 22 releases the locking of the rotating part 31c and the shaft part 21a, the user can apply external force to the first connecting structure 31 to make the first connecting structure 31 rotate relative to the mounting assembly 20, so as to adjust the position of the second connecting structure 32 and the bearing assembly 10. When the fastener 22 locks the rotating part 31c and the shaft part 21a, the first connecting structure 31 remains relatively stationary with respect to the mounting assembly 20, and can provide stable support to the second connecting structure 32 and the bearing assembly 10.

[0068] It should be noted that the specific structure of fastener 22 is not limited.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The rotating part 31c and the fastener 22 are respectively provided with teeth at the axial contact points. When the fastener 22 locks the rotating part 31c and the shaft part 21a, the teeth 31c1 of the rotating part and the teeth 22a of the fastener mesh to achieve an anti-rotation fit. It can be understood that locking the rotating part 31c and the shaft part 21a by meshing the teeth 31c1 of the rotating part and the teeth 22a of the fastener is simple in structure and has high stability.

[0070] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The fastener 22 includes a threaded section 22b and a holding portion 22c. The shaft portion 21a is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded section 22b is used to engage with the threaded hole, and the holding portion 22c is exposed on the outer surface of the mounting assembly 20. It is understood that the engagement of the threaded section 22b and the threaded hole increases the connection strength between the fastener 22 and the shaft portion 21a, thereby improving the stability of the fastener 22 when locking the rotating portion 31c to the shaft portion 21a. Furthermore, the holding portion 22c facilitates the user in applying force to the fastener 22, allowing the user to control the locking or unlocking of the rotating portion 31c and the shaft portion 21a.

[0071] Specifically, by means of the threaded section 22b of the fastener 22 threadedly engaging with the threaded hole of the shaft portion 21a, when the user applies a force to the grip portion 22c to drive the fastener 22 to rotate and move toward the rotating portion 31c, the teeth 22a of the fastener engage with the teeth 31c1 of the rotating portion to lock the rotating portion 31c and the shaft portion 21a; when the user applies a force to the grip portion 22c to drive the fastener 22 to rotate and move away from the rotating portion 31c, the teeth 22a of the fastener disengage from the teeth 31c1 of the rotating portion to release the lock between the rotating portion 31c and the shaft portion 21a.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting assembly 20 also includes a damping structure 50, which is located radially between the shaft portion 21a and the rotating portion 31c, providing damping force for the rotation of the rotating portion 31c. Understandably, the damping structure 50 increases the resistance experienced by the rotating portion 31c during rotation. On the one hand, it prevents the rotating portion 31c and the shaft portion 21a from spontaneously moving relative to each other when the fastener 22 releases the lock, reducing the possibility of accidental rotation of the first connecting structure 31. On the other hand, it improves the smoothness of the rotation of the first connecting structure 31, enhancing the user experience.

[0073] It should be noted that the specific structure of the damping structure 50 is not limited.

[0074] In some embodiments, the support assembly 10 includes a support plate and a magnetic suction member disposed on the support plate. The support plate is used to support the mobile terminal, and the magnetic suction member is used to magnetically attract the mobile terminal to fix it magnetically to the support plate. It is understood that the mobile terminal can establish a connection with the bracket through the magnetic force of the magnetic suction member, and then be supported on the support surface of the installation object by the bracket, making it convenient for the user to use the mobile terminal without using their hands.
