Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle equipment technology, and in particular to a Tesla air vent bracket. Background Technology

[0002] A car vent phone holder is a type of holder used to secure a phone in a car. The holder needs to be connected and fixed to the air vent of the vehicle's center console (also known as the dashboard or dashboard panel). Traditionally, vehicle air vents are exposed grilles, and the lower end of the holder is fixed to the grille using a clamp-on or plug-in structure. However, some vehicles now have concealed air vents on their center consoles, featuring only a single long, narrow vent, such as the Tesla dashboard air vent. This type of vent uses a strip-shaped perforation structure, with evenly spaced airflow channels on the sidewalls. Removing the grille makes the vent look more aesthetically pleasing. However, existing clamp-on and plug-in types cannot directly connect to the channels on the sidewalls of the strip-shaped perforation, or are difficult to securely fix, especially when the vehicle is moving, resulting in poor stability. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem that existing brackets are difficult to securely fix to Tesla air vents, this utility model proposes a Tesla air vent bracket.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is to design a Tesla air vent bracket. The bracket includes a bracket rod with an insertion part for inserting into the air vent, a positioning rod, and a support rod. The middle part of the positioning rod is rotatably connected to the bracket rod via a first axis hinge. A positioning locking mechanism is provided between the positioning rod and the bracket rod. One end of the positioning rod is rotatably connected to the support rod via a second axis hinge. The insertion part has a lower guide surface, and the support rod has an upper guide surface corresponding to the lower guide surface. When the positioning rod rotates so that the second axis hinge moves away from the lower guide surface, the upper guide surface moves away from the insertion part under the guiding action of the lower guide surface.

[0005] In some embodiments, the insertion part is provided with a through hole through which the support rod slides.

[0006] In some embodiments, the second axis hinge is a resilient reset axis hinge, which includes a resilient reset member located between the positioning rod and the support rod, the resilient reset member causing the support rod to rotate in the opposite direction away from the positioning rod.

[0007] In some embodiments, the positioning and locking mechanism includes slots distributed on the positioning rod in the circumferential direction of the first shaft hinge, a telescopic rod that extends and retracts relative to the slots on the support rod, and a locking head that can engage with the slots at the end of the telescopic rod.

[0008] In some embodiments, the positioning and locking mechanism further includes a pull rod, and a top pressure spring is supported between the telescopic rod and the support rod. The top pressure spring causes the telescopic rod to move toward the slot. The telescopic rod is provided with a through slot. One end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the support rod through a third-axis hinge, and the other end of the pull rod slides through the through slot.

[0009] In some embodiments, the adjacent slots are connected by ratchet teeth with the tips of the ratchet teeth facing upwards.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first shaft hinge is a resilient reset shaft hinge, which includes a resilient reset member located between the positioning rod and the support rod, the resilient reset member causing the second shaft hinge to move toward the lower guide surface.

[0011] In some embodiments, the end of the insertion part has a hook facing the inner edge of the air vent.

[0012] In some embodiments, the end of the strut is provided with a pressing surface for pressing against the inner wall of the air vent.

[0013] In some embodiments, the end of the support rod is provided with a guide end facing the lower guide surface, the upper guide surface is located on the guide end, and the rod segment of the insertion part is provided with a groove corresponding to the support rod. When the support rod enters the groove, the upper guide surface coincides with the lower guide surface, and the width of the guide end is greater than the groove, so that the guide end has an upper guide surface that cooperates with the lower guide surfaces on both sides of the groove.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model's air vent bracket has an insertion end that can be opened relative to the inner wall of the air vent, allowing the bracket to be firmly fixed to the Tesla air vent and preventing it from shaking under external forces, thus achieving stable support for the mobile phone. The opening size of the insertion end can be controlled by pressing, facilitating the installation and fixation of the bracket. The two opposing opening parts of the insertion end are guided by guide surfaces, making the opening action smooth and easy to operate. In addition, since the size of the part of the bracket that inserts into the air vent is adjustable, the bracket can be fixed at different widths of the air vent on the center console.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following are specific embodiments of this utility model, and the technical solution of this utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this utility model is not limited to these embodiments, and the following embodiments do not limit the utility model involved in the claims. In addition, all combinations of features described in the embodiments are not necessarily necessary for the solution of the utility model.

[0033] The principle and structure of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Example

[0035] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, 11, and 13, a Tesla air vent bracket is used for detachably fixing to the air vent 2 of the center console 1 of a Tesla electric vehicle. The air vent 2 has two opposing side walls 21. The bracket includes a bracket rod 3 as the main support body. The upper end of the bracket rod 3 is provided with a ball head 31 to facilitate the connection and fixing of components such as suction cups for mobile phones, thereby supporting mobile terminals such as mobile phones. The lower end of the bracket rod 3 has an insertion part that inserts between the two side walls 21 of the air vent 2. In this embodiment, the bracket rod 3 mainly includes three rod sections: an upper rod section 37, a middle rod section 38, and a lower rod section 39. The three rod sections are bent relative to each other. The upper rod section 37 is provided with the ball head 31 at its upper end. The middle rod section 38 is supported on the surface of the center console 1. The lower rod section 39 is used to insert into the air vent 2, which is equivalent to the insertion part.

[0036] The Tesla vent 2 bracket also includes a positioning rod 4 and a support rod 5. The middle part of the positioning rod 4 is rotatably connected to the bracket rod 3 through a first axis hinge 6. One end of the positioning rod 4 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support rod 5 through a second axis hinge 11. That is, the end of the positioning rod 4 located below the first axis hinge is connected to the upper end of the support rod 5 through the second axis hinge 11.

[0037] like Figure 5 , 6As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the bottom end of the insertion part has a downwardly inclined lower guide surface 32, and the support rod 5 has an upwardly inclined upper guide surface 51 corresponding to the lower guide surface 32. The upper guide surface 51 is an inclined surface that is inclined downward relative to the support rod 5. Of course, it does not have to be an inclined surface, as long as it is a support surface of the component that can abut against the lower guide surface 32 and be guided to move by the lower guide surface 32. When the positioning rod 4 rotates and the second shaft hinge 11 moves away from the lower guide surface 32, the upper guide surface 51 moves away from the insertion part under the guidance of the lower guide surface 32. That is, when the upper end of the positioning rod 4 is pressed down with a finger, the positioning rod 4 rotates around the first shaft hinge 6, thereby causing the lower end of the positioning rod 4 to move upward, which in turn causes the second shaft hinge 11 to drive the support rod 5 to move upward. When the support rod 5 moves upward, the lower guide surface 32 blocks the upper guide surface 51 of the support rod 5 from moving upward, so that the upper guide surface 51 moves along the lower guide surface 32 under the guidance of the lower guide surface 32. The upper guide surface moves away from the end of the insertion part, that is, the upper guide surface slides relative to the lower guide surface, thereby increasing the distance between the lower end of the support rod 5 and the lower end of the insertion part. This causes the support rod 5 and the insertion part to move towards the two opposite side walls 21 of the air vent 2, respectively. As a result, the part of the bracket inserted into the air vent 2 expands and supports the two side walls 21 of the air vent 2. The greater the upward movement of the second shaft hinge 11, the greater the distance between the support rod 5 and the end of the insertion part, the greater the supporting force on the two side walls 21 of the air vent 2, and the more firmly the bracket is fixed relative to the air vent 2.

[0038] like Figure 12 As shown, the air vent 2 of the center console 1 is long and narrow, with different widths at different positions. Since the size of the part of the bracket inserted into the air vent 2 is adjustable, it is convenient to fix the bracket at different widths of the air vent 2 of the center console 1.

[0039] The insertion part is provided with a through hole 33, through which the support rod 5 slides. The through hole 33 allows the support rod 5 to move only up and down and not along the axis of the hinge. In this embodiment, the through hole 33 is a rectangular hole, and the lower part of the support rod 3 and the support rod 5 are both flat rods to better accommodate the insertion of the air vent 2, while also providing good structural strength. The upper end of the flat support rod 5 can provide a larger contact area for the fingers.

[0040] The second shaft hinge is a resilient reset shaft hinge, which includes a resilient reset element located between the positioning rod and the support rod. The resilient reset element causes the support rod to rotate in the opposite direction away from the positioning rod. In this embodiment, the resilient reset element is a torsion spring. The torsion spring has a through hole and is fitted onto the shaft of the shaft hinge. The two ends of the torsion spring support the positioning rod and the support rod respectively, thereby causing the support rod to rotate in the opposite direction away from the positioning rod, and subsequently causing the support rod to come together with the lower section of the rod.

[0041] The support rod has a guide end facing the lower guide surface at its end, and the upper guide surface is located on the guide end. The middle section of the insertion part has a groove 34 corresponding to the support rod. When the support rod and the insertion part are closed together, the support rod enters the groove. The depth of the groove is approximately equal to the thickness of the support rod, resulting in a small volume when the support rod and the insertion part overlap, facilitating easy insertion and removal of the air vent. When the support rod enters the groove, the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface overlap. The width of the guide end is greater than the groove, so that the guide end has an upper guide surface that mates with the lower guide surfaces on both sides of the groove. That is, the guide end 52 has an extension end extending to both sides relative to the support rod. The upper guide surface extends to this extension end 521, and the lower guide surface also extends to both ends of the groove. Thus, regardless of whether the support rod and the insertion part are open or closed, the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface maintain mutual guiding engagement.

[0042] The upper end of the support rod 5 is provided with a pressing surface 53 for pressing the inner wall 21 of the air vent 2. Of course, the lower end of the support rod 5 can also be provided with a pressing surface suitable for pressing the other inner wall of the air vent 2 in order to provide supporting friction.

[0043] like Figure 9 , 10 As shown, a positioning locking mechanism is provided between the positioning rod 4 and the support rod 3. The positioning locking mechanism includes slots 41 distributed around the first shaft hinge 6 on the positioning rod 4. The support rod 3 is provided with a telescopic rod 7 that extends and retracts relative to the slots 41. The end of the telescopic rod 7 is provided with a locking head that can be engaged in the slots 41. When the locking head is engaged in the slots 41, the positioning rod 4 cannot rotate around the first shaft hinge 6, thus achieving position locking. This ensures that the distance between the end of the support rod 5 inserted into the air vent 2 and the end of the support rod 3 is not too great, ensuring firm support for the side wall 21 and thus ensuring the fixation of the support relative to the air vent 2.

[0044] The positioning and locking mechanism also includes a pull rod 8. A top pressure spring 9 is supported between the telescopic rod 7 and the support rod 3. The top pressure spring 9 causes the telescopic rod 7 to move toward the slot 41, ensuring that the locking head is always located in the slot 41. The telescopic rod 7 is provided with a through groove 71. One end of the pull rod is rotatably connected to the support rod through a third-axis hinge, and the other end of the pull rod slides through the through groove.

[0045] like Figure 7 As shown, one end of the pull rod 8 is rotatably connected to the pull rod via a third-axis hinge 10, and the other end of the pull rod 8 slides through the through groove 71 and bends away from the positioning rod 4. The bent end has a large-area pressing head 81. By pressing the pressing head 81 downwards with a finger, the pull rod 8 rotates around the third-axis hinge 10, thereby causing the telescopic rod 7 to overcome the force of the top pressure spring 9 and cause the locking head to leave the locking groove 41, thus allowing the positioning rod 4 to rotate around the first-axis hinge. Of course, as... Figure 14 As shown, the pull rod can also be a straight rod, which can be pulled by the finger to disengage the end clip of the telescopic rod from the slot.

[0046] The adjacent slots 41 are connected by ratchet teeth with the tips of the ratchet teeth facing upwards. That is, the slots 41 are part of a ratchet. Thus, without controlling the telescopic rod 7, the upper end of the support rod 5 can be pressed to use the ratchet teeth to exert pressure on the locking head, causing the telescopic rod 7 to retract and the positioning rod 4 to rotate. Each rotation is the distance of one ratchet tooth, which is equivalent to multi-level gear adjustment.

[0047] The upper end of the positioning rod 4 is a pressing part for finger pressing, which is slightly bent toward the support rod 3, and the slot 41 is located below the pressing part.

[0048] The end of the insertion part has a hook 35 facing the inner edge of the air vent 2 so as to hook onto the lower edge of the side wall 21 of the air vent 2, thereby making the bracket more secure.

[0049] The bracket rod 3 is provided with a lower support part 36 in the middle, which presses against the surface of the vehicle center console 1. The lower support part 36 has a support surface that supports the surface of the center console 1, thereby making the bracket more firmly fixed relative to the center console 1.

[0050] The first shaft hinge 6 is an elastic reset shaft hinge. The elastic reset shaft hinge includes an elastic reset member located between the positioning rod and the support rod. The elastic reset member causes the second shaft hinge to move toward the direction close to the lower guide surface. Similar to the second shaft hinge, the elastic reset member in this embodiment is a torsion spring. The torsion spring through hole is sleeved on the shaft of the shaft hinge. The two ends of the torsion spring support the positioning rod and the support rod respectively. When the clasp disengages from the clasp slot, causing the positioning rod to be unlocked, the reset force of the torsion spring causes the positioning rod to lift upward relative to the support rod.

[0051] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
