For example, adhesive is used to attach the bracket to the vehicle's interior, and a 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.

[0035] This application provides a bracket; please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 It includes a support component 10, a mounting component 20, and a connecting component 30.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] The connecting component 30 connects the support component 10 and the mounting component 20. It is understood that the connecting component 30 is able to transfer the weight of the mobile terminal placed on the support component 10 to the mounting component 20, and thus to the support surface of the mounted object.

[0041] The connecting component 30 includes a first connecting structure 31 and a second connecting structure 32 that are rotatably connected. 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. It is understood that the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32 can rotate relative to each other under external force, allowing the support component 10 to rotate relative to the mounting component 20 under external force, facilitating user adjustment of the support angle of the support component 10 on the mobile terminal.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 The rotational connection between the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32 has a damping structure 50, which is used to hold the second connecting structure 32 in any rotational position.

[0043] Understandably, the damping structure 50 increases the resistance encountered by the second connecting structure 32 during rotation. On the one hand, it prevents the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32 from spontaneously rotating relative to each other, reducing the possibility of accidental rotation of the second connecting structure 32. On the other hand, it improves the smoothness of the rotation of the second connecting structure 32, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, after the user rotates the second connecting structure 32 to any position, the damping structure 50 can hold the second connecting structure 32 and the supporting component 10 at that rotational position, allowing the mobile terminal to be stably placed on the supporting component 10.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 The second connection structure 32 includes at least a flexible portion 32b, which can be bent and deformed under external force. It is understood that the user can apply force to the flexible portion 32b to cause it to bend and deform, thereby adjusting the support angle of the support component 10 on the mobile terminal, and thus adjusting the viewing angle of the mobile terminal, improving user convenience.

[0045] It should be noted that the flexible part 32b can be bent and deformed under the action of external force, which means that the flexible part 32b can be bent and deformed under the action of external force, and can maintain its shape after the external force is removed, that is, it can maintain the bent shape.

[0046] The bracket provided in this application embodiment, through the rotatable connection between the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32, and the flexible part 32b of the second connecting structure 32, can enrich the ways for users to adjust the support angle of the support component 10 on the mobile terminal, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first connecting structure is a rigid member. Thus, when the user applies a force to the second connecting structure 32, causing the flexible portion 32b to bend, since the first connecting structure 31 is a rigid member, on the one hand, the first connecting structure 31 can provide a certain reaction force to the second connecting structure 32, facilitating the user's bending deformation of the bent portion; on the other hand, the first connecting structure 31 will not undergo significant bending deformation along with the flexible portion 32b, reducing the impact of the bending deformation of the flexible portion 32b on the mounting assembly 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the bracket support on the support surface of the mounting object.

[0048] It should be noted that the specific type of damping structure 50 is not limited.

[0049] In some embodiments, the damping force (F1) exerted by the damping structure 50 on the second connecting structure 32 is greater than the bending force (F2) required for the flexible portion 32b to bend and deform, i.e., F1 > F2. It is understood that when the force (F) applied by the user to the second connecting structure 32 is greater than the bending force F1 and less than the damping force F2, i.e., F2 > F > F1, the user can bend the flexible portion 32b to adjust the support angle of the support assembly 10 on the mobile terminal. When the force F applied by the user to the second connecting structure 32 is greater than the damping force F2, i.e., F > F2, the user can rotate the second connecting structure 32 relative to the first connecting structure 31 and simultaneously bend the flexible portion 32b, thereby increasing the range of adjustment of the support angle of the support assembly 10 on the mobile terminal. Thus, the user can adjust the support angle of the support assembly 10 on the mobile terminal in segments by varying the magnitude of the force applied to the second connecting structure 32.

[0050] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the specific method by which the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32 are rotatably connected.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second connecting structure 32 includes a rigid connecting portion 32a connected to the flexible portion 32b at one end near the first connecting structure 31. The connecting portion 32a is rotatably connected to the first connecting structure 31. It is understood that by utilizing the rigidity of the connecting portion 32a, the connection strength between the connecting portion 32a and the first connecting structure 31 can be improved, and the rotational stability of the second connecting structure 32 relative to the first connecting structure 31 can be improved, thereby increasing the service life of the support.

[0052] It should be noted that the rigid connecting part 32a means that, compared to the flexible part 32b, the connecting part 32a is not easily deformed under external force. Thus, when the second connecting structure 32 rotates relative to the first connecting structure 31, the deformation of the connecting part 32a is smaller, improving the stability of the connecting part 32a in use.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The bracket includes a rotating shaft 60, and the connecting part 32a includes a first shaft portion with a shaft hole. The rotating shaft 60 passes through the shaft hole, and a damping structure 50 is disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 60 and the wall of the shaft hole to provide damping force for the rotation of the connecting part 32a. It is understood that the second connecting structure 32 can rotate around the rotating shaft 60 under the action of an external force, and the fit between the rotating shaft 60 and the shaft hole can improve the rotational stability of the second connecting structure 32. Furthermore, the damping structure 50 can improve the smoothness of the rotation of the second connecting structure 32.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The rotating shaft 60 includes a head and a rod that are interconnected, with a threaded section at the end of the rod away from the head. A second shaft portion 31a is provided at the end of the first connecting structure 31 near the second connecting structure 32, and the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion 31a are arranged coaxially. It is understood that the first connecting structure 31 can rotate around the first shaft portion under the action of an external force, and the second connecting structure 32 can rotate around the second shaft portion 31a under the action of an external force. The coaxial arrangement of the first shaft portion and the second shaft portion 31a facilitates relative rotation of the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32 under the action of an external force.

[0055] The second shaft portion 31a has a threaded hole, and a threaded section is used to thread into the threaded hole; alternatively, the bracket includes a nut 70, which is disposed within the second shaft portion 31a and is used to thread into the threaded section. It is understood that the rotating shaft 60 can establish a connection with the second shaft portion 31a through the engagement with the threaded hole or the nut 70, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32. Furthermore, the threaded engagement can improve the connection strength between the rotating shaft 60 and the second shaft portion 31a, thereby improving the connection strength of the rotational connection between the first connecting structure 31 and the second connecting structure 32.

[0056] It should be noted that the threaded engagement of the threaded section includes the following types: First, the threaded section of the rod engages with the threaded hole of the second shaft 31a; Second, the threaded section of the rod engages with the nut 70.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The support includes a sheathing layer 40, which covers a portion of the connecting portion 32a and a flexible portion 32b. The flexible portion 32b is spaced apart from the connecting portion 32a and is connected to the connecting portion 32a through the sheathing layer 40. It is understood that when the flexible portion 32b undergoes bending deformation under external force, the sheathing layer 40 can protect the flexible portion 32b, reducing the possibility of damage to the flexible portion 32b during bending deformation and improving the ductility of the flexible portion 32b. Furthermore, the sheathing layer 40 can also improve the connection strength between the connecting portion 32a and the flexible portion 32b, reducing the possibility of damage at the connection point when the flexible portion 32b undergoes bending deformation.

[0058] It should be noted that the specific structure of the flexible part 32b is not limited.

[0059] In some embodiments, the flexible part 32b 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 undergo plastic deformation under external force, enabling the user to bend the second connecting structure 32 with a small force to adjust the support angle of the support component 10 on the mobile terminal, thus facilitating the user to adjust the viewing angle of the mobile terminal.

[0060] In some embodiments, the flexible portion 32b is a flexible element, for example, the material of the flexible portion 32b is soft aluminum.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The 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.

[0062] It should be noted that the thickness direction refers to... Figure 3 The arrow indicates the direction of the thickness.

[0063] The flexible portion 32b is bendable in the thickness direction of the connecting assembly 30. It is understood that the flexible portion 32b has a small dimension in the thickness direction, so the user needs to apply less force when bending the flexible portion 32b in the thickness direction of the connecting assembly 30, making it easier for the user to bend.

[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In the thickness direction of the connecting component 30, the thickness of the first connecting structure 31 is ( Figure 4 D2) is greater than the thickness of the flexible part 32b. Figure 4 (D1 in the diagram). In this way, the structural strength of the first connecting structure 31 in the thickness direction of the connecting component 30 can be guaranteed. On the one hand, it can improve the reaction force provided by the first connecting structure 31 to the second connecting structure 32, making it easier for the user to bend the bending part. On the other hand, it can reduce the impact of the bending deformation of the flexible part 32b on the mounting component 20, so as to ensure the stability of the bracket support on the support surface of the mounting object.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 In the extending direction of the connecting component, the dimensions of the first connecting structure 31 ( Figure 3 The dimensions of L1 in the middle and the second connecting structure 32 are ( Figure 3 The ratio of L1 / L2 in the first connection structure 31 to L2 is 0.8 to 1.2, i.e., 0.8 ≤ L1 / L2 ≤ 1.2. This makes the ratio of the first connection structure 31 to the second connection structure 32 reasonable, and the layout of the connection component 30 reasonable and the structure compact.

[0066] In some embodiments, the support assembly 10 includes a support plate and a magnetic suction member (not shown) 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.
