Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brackets, and in particular to a portable bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Portable stands are widely used for devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and e-readers, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, or other scenarios where devices need to be fixed to smooth surfaces. In related technologies, portable stands typically include two foldable suction units: one unit adheres to a smooth wall or tabletop via negative pressure, and the other unit attaches to the phone or tablet via a magnet.

[0003] To reduce size and facilitate portability, existing portable stands are typically designed to be very compact when folded, with the two suction units fitting tightly together. While this compact design improves portability, it also introduces inconvenience in operation. When unfolding the stand, users often struggle to find suitable gripping points, especially when the stand is attached to a wall, usually requiring both hands to unfold, making the process cumbersome and inconvenient. This design fails to adequately consider the actual needs of users in certain scenarios (such as one-handed operation), thus degrading the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "top", "bottom", "side", "vertical", "horizontal", "first", "second", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 3 The portable stand in this embodiment includes a base 1, a magnetic base 2, and a folding stand 3.

[0028] The base 1 has a suction cup 11 at its bottom. The suction cup 11 can generate negative pressure adsorption on smooth surfaces such as walls, tabletops, tiles, or glass to firmly fix the bracket. It can be understood that negative pressure can be formed in a variety of ways. For example, the base 1 has an air pump connected to the suction cup 11. When the air pump works, it extracts the air from the suction cup, thereby forming negative pressure between the suction cup and the contact surface; or the suction cup 11 can be physically deformed by mechanical stretching to form negative pressure. This embodiment does not limit the way the suction cup 11 forms negative pressure.

[0029] The magnetic base 2 has a magnet 23 embedded inside, which is used to attach items such as mobile phones, tablets or e-readers with magnetic accessories.

[0030] The folding bracket 3 includes a bracket base 31 and a bracket arm 32. The bracket base 31 is located on top of the base 1. One end of the bracket arm 32 is hinged to the bracket base 31 via a hinge, and the other end is hinged to the magnetic base 2 via a hinge. The cross-section of the bracket arm is smaller than the cross-section of the base and the magnetic base, so that when the portable bracket is in the folded state, an operating groove is formed between the magnetic base and the base.

[0031] When the folding bracket 3 is in the unfolded state: because the magnetic base 2 is hinged to the folding bracket 3, the magnetic base 2 can flip relative to the folding bracket 3; because the base 1 is hinged to the folding bracket 3, the folding bracket 3 can flip relative to the base 1, thereby enabling the magnetic base 2 to flip relative to the base 1 to adjust the angle of the mobile phone.

[0032] When the folding bracket 3 is in the folded state: After the base 1 is fixed by suction cup, the user can insert their finger into the operation slot 4, grasp the magnetic base 2, and gently pull it. The traction of the magnetic base 2 will cause the bracket arm 32 to unfold, thus completing the unfolding operation of the bracket. This design significantly improves the convenience of operation, especially in scenarios where it is fixed to a wall, allowing the user to complete the unfolding operation with one hand, thus improving the overall user experience.

[0033] The cross-section of the magnetic base 2 is the same as that of the base 1, so that the magnetic base 2 overlaps with the base 1 when the portable holder is in the folded state. In some embodiments, the magnetic base 2 and the base 1 are cylindrical.

[0034] Both the support base 31 and the support arm 32 are circular ring structures, so that the support base 31 and the support arm 32 not only match the geometry of the base 1 and the magnetic seat 2 in terms of structure, ensuring the overall aesthetics and compactness of the support in the folded state, but the design of the circular ring support arm 32 also makes the force more even, and can remain stable during unfolding and folding, and is not easy to tilt or shake.

[0035] The operating groove 4 is an annular groove to facilitate user operation in all directions.

[0036] refer to Figure 2 The base 1 has a first mounting groove 12 on its top for mounting the bracket 31. The size of the first mounting groove 12 matches the size of the bracket 31, allowing the bracket to be securely mounted on the base. In the folded state, the magnetic base 2 fits snugly against the base 1, forming a flat structure with a unified appearance. This design not only improves portability, making the bracket easier to carry and store, but also enhances aesthetics, making it suitable for users to carry with them or place on a desk when not in use, without taking up too much space.

[0037] In this embodiment, the bracket base 31 can also rotate around the central axis of the first mounting groove 14, allowing the user to adjust the device's orientation without moving the base 1 or re-attaching it. Especially when fixed to a wall, the user can quickly adjust the device to the optimal viewing position, avoiding repeated adjustments to the base. By rotating the bracket base 31 and flipping the bracket arm 32, the magnetic base 2 can flexibly adjust its orientation. Regardless of whether the base 1 is attached to a wall, desktop, or other surface, the device can be easily adjusted to the front, side, or angled position, meeting the needs of various usage scenarios.

[0038] Furthermore, to prevent the bracket base 31 from detaching from the first mounting groove 12, a limiting structure is provided between the base 1 and the bracket base 31. Specifically, the limiting structure includes a limiting groove 311 on the outer side of the bracket base 31 and a limiting protrusion 121 on the inner side of the first mounting groove 12. When the bracket base 31 is installed in the first mounting groove 12, the end of the limiting protrusion 311 is inserted into the limiting groove 121. The cooperation of the two can effectively prevent the bracket base 31 from accidentally detaching during rotation or use, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the bracket.

[0039] The magnetic holder 2 includes a bottom cover 21 and a cover plate 22. A second mounting groove 211 is formed within the bottom cover 21 to accommodate a magnet 23. The magnet 23 is securely mounted in the second mounting groove 211 by adhesive, nesting, or other fixing methods, thereby preventing the magnet from loosening or falling off during use. The cover plate 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom cover 21, forming a sealed structure to protect the magnet 23 from the influence of the external environment (such as dust or moisture) and extend the service life of the magnet 23.

[0040] The size and shape of the magnetic base 2 match the top contour of the base 1. In the folded state, the upper end face of the support arm 32 fits tightly against the magnetic base 2, and the lower end face fits tightly against the base 1, forming a flat, integrated structure for the support. This design not only enhances the aesthetics and compactness of the device support but also provides significant advantages in portability, making the device more convenient to store and carry.

[0041] It should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
