Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and in particular to an electronic device bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development and upgrading of electronic devices, users' demand for electronic device accessories is also gradually increasing. Electronic device accessories can provide protection and support for electronic devices, such as phone cases with stand components. The main body of an electronic device accessory has a groove, and the stand component includes a stand and a base. The stand can rotate relative to the base, allowing the accessory to be in a supported or stowed state. In the stowed state, the stand can be housed within the groove. When using the accessory, users sometimes want to support the electronic device in a horizontal position. For this purpose, the base is rotated and installed in the groove, allowing the stand to support the accessory and electronic device at the desired angle. However, while existing accessories can support the electronic device at the desired angle, the reliability of the accessory at the desired angle (e.g., horizontal support) is relatively low because the base can rotate relative to the accessory body. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides an electronic device bracket that improves the reliability of support at the angle required by the user.

[0004] The main body is provided with a receiving groove;

[0005] A support assembly, the support assembly including a base and a support member, the base being rotatably mounted in the receiving groove, and the support member being rotatable relative to the base;

[0006] The base and the main body are provided with at least one first mating groove, and the other is provided with an elastic element. The elastic element includes a limiting part, a deforming part and a fixing part arranged in sequence. The fixing part is fixed to one of the base and the main body. The elastic element enables the limiting part to be limited to or released from the first mating groove through the deforming part.

[0007] When the user applies an external force to drive the base to rotate relative to the main body, the base rotates relative to the elastic element. During this process, the base applies an external force to the limiting part of the elastic element. Under the action of this external force, the deformable part deforms elastically, thereby causing the limiting part to move. At this time, the limiting part can disengage from the first mating groove, allowing the base to rotate relative to the main body without being restricted by the elastic element.

[0008] When the mating part rotates to the point where the limiting part aligns with the first mating groove, the external force is released, and the limiting part is driven to move under the rebound force of the deformable part. When the limiting part is in limiting engagement with the first mating groove, the rotation of the base relative to the elastic element is restricted, the base is confined to this position, and the support reliability of the bracket assembly at this position is improved. At this position, the base can continue to rotate only when the user applies a larger external force.

[0085] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0086] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0087] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0088] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0089] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0090] Electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets can come with accessories, such as protective cases, to protect them. These cases often also include stand components to support the device in the desired position for easier use.

[0091] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device bracket provided in this application in a specific embodiment, wherein the bracket assembly is in a retracted state. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device bracket provided in this application in a specific embodiment, wherein the bracket assembly is in a supported state. Figure 3 for Figure 1 An exploded view. In the embodiments of this application, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device bracket includes a main body 1 and a bracket assembly 2. The main body 1 can specifically be a protective case for the electronic device. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the main body 1 can be a generally rectangular structure, thus allowing it to be fitted onto electronic devices such as mobile phones. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the main body 1 may also have a notch 12, which is used to avoid structures such as cameras of electronic devices, thereby preventing the main body 1 from affecting the normal operation of the cameras of electronic devices.

[0092] like Figure 2As shown, the support assembly 2 includes a support member 21, a base 22, and a connecting member 23. The support member 21 and the base 22 are rotatably connected via the connecting member 23, allowing the support member 21 to have both a stowed state and a supported state. Figure 1 In the shown storage state, at least a portion of the structure of the support member 21 is housed within the receiving groove 11, and the rotation center of the support member 21 is located within the projection range of the support member 21 toward the bottom wall 111. Figure 2 As shown in the supported state, the support member 21 can be opened relative to the base 22 to support the main body 1.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support member 21 of the bracket assembly 2 can be a ring structure, and the receiving groove 11 can also be a ring structure. The ring receiving groove 11 has a boss 113 inside. When the bracket assembly 2 is in the storage state, the support member 21 is sleeved on the outside of the boss 113.

[0094] like Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 11 is provided on the back of the main body 1, and the base 22 is rotatably installed in the receiving groove 11. Specifically, the base of the bracket assembly 2 includes a mounting member 223. Correspondingly, a rotating groove 112 is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 11. A part of the mounting member 223 is located in the rotating groove 112, and when the base 22 rotates relative to the main body 1, the mounting member 223 rotates in the rotating groove 112.

[0095] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electronic device bracket provided in this application in another specific embodiment, wherein the bracket assembly is in a supported state. Figure 2 and Figure 4 All of the support components 2 are in a supported state, and in Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device stand can support the electronic device in portrait mode for viewing. Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device stand can support the electronic device in a landscape viewing position. (The above...) Figure 2 and Figure 4 The switching of states is achieved by rotating the base of the support assembly 2 within the receiving groove of the main body 1. Of course, the rotation of the base 22 within the receiving groove also allows the electronic device to be supported in other ways besides... Figure 2 and Figure 4 Other than these states, it can meet the user's needs.

[0096] However, when the support assembly is in a supported state, there is a risk that the weight of the electronic device may cause the base to rotate within the receiving groove, leading to instability. This application improves the reliability of the support by adding an elastic element to the electronic device support. When the base rotates to a preset angle, the elastic element limits further rotation of the base.

[0097] One of the base and the main body is provided with at least one first mating groove, and the other is provided with an elastic element for limiting engagement with the first mating groove. In one specific embodiment, the base is provided with an elastic element, and the main body is provided with at least one mating groove. In another specific embodiment, the base is provided with at least one first mating groove, and the main body is provided with an elastic element. This application describes an example where the first mating groove is provided in the base and the elastic element is provided in the main body.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device bracket provided in this application without the second mounting part. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure where the base and the elastic element mate. (Example) Figure 5 As shown, the main body 1 is provided with an elastic element 3. Specifically, the elastic element 3 can be installed on the boss 113, thereby making reasonable use of the space of the boss 113. The elastic element 3 is arranged opposite to the handle groove 211 of the support member 21. The first mating groove 2221 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the base 22 for fitting onto the boss 113. When the base 22 rotates in the receiving groove 11 of the main body 1, the first mating groove 2221 rotates with the base 22 relative to the elastic element 3, thereby limiting the engagement of the elastic element 3 with different first mating grooves 2221.

[0099] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the base 22 includes a body 221, a mating part 222, and a mounting part 223, wherein both the mating part 222 and the mounting part 223 are mounted on the body 221. The mounting part 223 can be an annular structure with an opening, the position of which corresponds to the connecting member 23 of the bracket assembly, for avoiding the connecting member 23. Along the radial direction of the base 22, the mounting part 223 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the body 221, for engaging with the rotating groove 112 (see reference) provided in the body 1. Figure 3 Rotational fit.

[0100] The aforementioned first mating groove 2221 can be disposed on the inner wall of the mating component 222, thereby allowing the mating component 222 with the first mating groove 2221 to be machined separately without the need to separately provide the first mating groove on the body 221, thus without changing the structure of the body 221. Of course, in other embodiments, the first mating groove 2221 can also be directly disposed on the inner wall of the body 221. This application does not specifically limit the placement of the first mating groove 2221 on the base 22.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 for Figure 6 A schematic diagram showing the fit between the first body and the mounting component, and it is from... Figure 6 A view taken from one side of the second body 2212. Figure 8 for Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of the mating component. In one specific embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the body 221 includes a first body 2211 and a second body 2212 arranged along the thickness direction of the support assembly. The first body 2211 and the second body 2212 are fixedly connected, and the connection method includes, but is not limited to, screw connection, welding, bonding, etc. Figure 7 As shown, the first body 2211 of the base 22 may include a third mounting portion 2211b for mounting the connecting member 23. Figure 7 In the embodiment shown, the mounting member 223 can be fitted onto the outer wall of the first body 2211, thereby mounting the mounting member 223 onto the body 221 and causing the mounting member 223 to protrude radially out of the body 221.

[0102] like Figure 7 As shown, a groove 2211c may also be provided at the end of the first body 2211 facing the second body 2212, the groove 2211c being used to accommodate... Figure 8 The mating member 222 shown is used to clamp the mating member 222 between the first body 2211 and the second body 2212. For example... Figure 7 As shown, the first body 2211 is also provided with a positioning part 2211a that protrudes into the groove 2211c, and correspondingly, as Figure 8 As shown, the mating part 222 has a ring structure, and the inner peripheral wall of the mating part 222 is provided with the first mating groove 2221 mentioned above, and the outer peripheral wall of the mating part 222 is provided with a positioning groove 2223. When the mating part 222 is installed in the groove 2211c, the positioning part 2211a cooperates with the positioning groove 2223, restricting the rotation of the mating part 222 relative to the first body 2211, so that during the rotation of the base 21 relative to the main body 1, the mating part 222 and the first body 2211 do not rotate relative to each other.

[0103] In such Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the outer peripheral wall of the mating part 222 is provided with four mutually spaced positioning grooves 2223. Correspondingly, the first body 2211 is provided with four mutually spaced positioning parts 2211a. The positioning grooves 2223 and positioning parts 2211a can be evenly distributed, so that the connection between the mating part 222 and the body 221 has high reliability.

[0104] It should be noted that the above description is only one possible installation method of the mating part 222. Those skilled in the art will understand that the mating part 222 can also be installed on the base 22 in other ways, such as by bonding. This application does not limit the installation method of the mating part 222 or the number of positioning grooves 2223 and positioning parts 2211a.

[0105] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 9-11 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the elastic element provided in this application in a specific embodiment. Figure 10 for Figure 9 Top view, Figure 11 for Figure 10 A schematic diagram illustrating the change of the preset included angle in the elastic element. (See diagram below.) Figure 9 As shown, the elastic member 3 includes a limiting part 31, a deformable part 32, and a fixing part 33. The fixing part 33 is fixedly connected to the main body 1. The deformable part 32 can elastically deform with the deformable part 32 as the fulcrum. When the deformable part 32 elastically deforms, it causes the limiting part 31 to move toward the first mating groove 2221 so that the limiting part 31 is limited to the first mating groove 2221. Alternatively, when the deformable part 32 elastically deforms, it causes the limiting part 31 to move away from the first mating groove 2221 so that the limiting part 31 is released from the first mating groove 2221.

[0106] When the limiting part 31 is engaged with the first mating groove 2221, it can restrict the rotation of the mating part 222 relative to the elastic member 3, restrict the base to this position, and improve the support reliability of the bracket assembly at this position. At this position, the base can continue to rotate only when the user applies a large external force.

[0107] In this specific embodiment, when the limiting part 31 is limited to the first mating groove 2221, the deformable part can still be in a deformed state. Under the action of the elastic force of the deformable part, the limiting part 31 is pressed against the first mating groove 2221, which further improves the reliability of the limiting engagement between the elastic member 3 and the mating member 222, thereby further improving the support reliability of the bracket assembly and the electronic device bracket.

[0108] In one specific embodiment, the deformable portion 32 includes a first deformable segment 321 connected to the limiting portion 31. For example... Figure 10 As shown, there is a first preset angle α between the outer contour of the first deformable segment 321 and the limiting part 31. The first preset angle α is the angle between the first deformable segment 321 and the outer wall of the limiting part 31 connected to it. When subjected to external force, the first preset angle α can change.

[0109] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 The state represented by the thin solid line is a schematic diagram of the limiting part 31 in the first state. Figure 11 The bold dashed line represents a schematic diagram showing the movement of the limiting part 31 relative to the first state along the second direction Y. From... Figure 11It can be seen that in the first state, the angle between the outer contour of the limiting part 31 and the first deformable segment 321 is α1, and when the limiting part 31 moves along the second direction Y, the angle between the outer contour of the limiting part 31 and the first deformable segment 321 is α2. Where α1 > α2. Therefore, from... Figure 11 It can be seen that, since the first preset angle between the outer contour of the limiting part 31 and the first deformable segment 321 can change, the limiting part 31 is allowed to move along the first direction X or the second direction Y. Specifically, in Figure 11 The limiting part 31 can move along the second direction Y to the position shown by the thick dashed line at the position indicated by the thin solid line. Figure 11 The position indicated by the thick dashed line allows the limiting part 31 to move along the first direction X to the position indicated by the thin solid line. The first direction X and the second direction Y are opposite directions.

[0110] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 for Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the mating of the intermediate component and the elastic component. Figure 13 for Figure 12 A magnified view of a section II. Please refer to it. Figure 11-13 When the user applies an external force to drive the base to rotate relative to the main body, the mating part 222 rotates relative to the elastic member 3 as the base rotates relative to the main body. During this process, the mating part 222 applies an external force along the second direction Y to the limiting part 31. Under the action of this external force, the deformable part elastically deforms, and the first preset angle α between the outer contour of the limiting part 31 and the first deformable segment 321 decreases (e.g., Figure 11 As shown in α2), the limiting part 31 moves along the second direction Y, which is the direction in which the limiting part 31 releases the limiting engagement with the first mating groove 2221. At this time, the limiting part 31 can disengage from the first mating groove 2221, so that the mating part 222 can rotate with the base without being restricted by the elastic member 3.

[0111] When the mating part 222 rotates to the point where the limiting part 31 is aligned with the first mating groove 2221, after the external force is released, the limiting part 31 is driven to move along the first direction X under the action of the elastic force of the deformable part. The first direction X is the direction in which the limiting part 31 and the first mating groove 2221 are limited and mated.

[0112] In addition, such as Figure 12 As shown, the mating member 222 has a clearance structure on the side near the connecting member 23 to avoid the connecting member 23, for example, Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the mating member 222 is a straight structure at the location of the connecting member to avoid obstructing the connecting member. Figure 12In the embodiment shown, the outer peripheral wall of the mating member 222 may be provided with a clearance groove 2224 to avoid the connecting member.

[0113] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 8 The inner wall of the mating component 222 may also include a plurality of second mating grooves 2222, and a plurality of second mating grooves 2222 are provided between adjacent first mating grooves 2221. Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the mating component 222 can be annular, and there are four first mating grooves 2221, with an included angle of 90° between adjacent positions of the first mating grooves 2221. That is, with the position of the limiting part 31 as 0°, the four first mating grooves 2221 of the mating component 222 are located at 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° respectively, i.e., the four first mating grooves 2221 are distributed in a cross shape. When the base rotates to the position where the limiting part 31 engages with the first mating groove 2221 at 0° or 180°, the electronic device bracket can support the electronic device in a vertical viewing state. When the base rotates to the position where the limiting part 31 engages with the first mating groove 2221 at 90° or 270°, the electronic device bracket can support the electronic device in a horizontal viewing state.

[0114] like Figure 8 As shown, multiple second mating grooves 2222 are evenly arranged between adjacent first mating grooves 2221.

[0115] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 14 , Figure 14 for Figure 8 A magnified view of a section III. (See attached image.) Figure 14 As shown, the depth H2 of the second mating groove 2222 is less than the depth H1 of the first mating groove 2221. When the limiting part 31 is engaged with the deeper first mating groove 2221, the user needs to apply a larger external force to move the limiting part 31 away from the first mating groove 2221. That is, when the limiting part 31 is engaged with the first mating groove 2221, the support reliability of the accessory for the electronic device is high. Furthermore, when the user applies a smaller force, the base cannot be rotated further, thus providing feedback to the user so that the user is aware that the limiting part 31 is engaged with the first mating groove 2221. When the limiting part 31 is engaged with the shallower second mating groove 2222, the user needs to apply a smaller external force to move the limiting part 31 away from the second mating groove 2222. The design of the second mating groove 2222 provides a better feel for the user during the rotation of the base.

[0116] In addition, the mating part 222 can also be a structure made of hard materials such as metal or alloy. When the mating part 222 rotates with the base, the limiting part 31 makes a clicking sound when it is in the first mating groove 2221 or the second mating groove 2222 of the mating part 222, thus improving the user experience.

[0117] In one specific embodiment, 0.1mm≤H1-H2≤0.5mm, within this range, the depth difference between the first mating groove 2221 and the second mating groove 2222 is moderate, so that during the user's rotation of the base, the feel of the limiting part 31 engaging with the first mating groove 2221 is significantly different from the feel of engaging with the second mating groove 2222, thereby providing the user with clear feedback and ensuring that the limiting part 31 will not get stuck with the first mating groove 2221.

[0118] For example, H1-H2 can be 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, etc.

[0119] The specific structure of elastic element 3 is described in detail below.

[0120] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 10-11 The deformable portion 32 may further include a fixed portion 33, which is connected to one end of the first deformable segment 321 away from the limiting portion 31. The first deformable segment 321 and the fixed portion 33 are bent relative to each other, i.e., there is a second preset angle β between the first deformable segment 321 and the fixed portion 33. When the deformable portion 32 is subjected to an external force, the second preset angle β can change, so that the deformable portion 32 can deform. During the process of the change of the second preset angle β, the first deformable segment 321 can drive the limiting portion 31 connected to it to move along the first direction X or the second direction Y. Therefore, the relative bending of the first deformable segment 321 and the fixed portion 33 makes the deformable portion 32 easier to elastically deform, thereby facilitating the movement of the limiting portion 31 along the first direction X or the second direction Y when the elastic member 3 is subjected to an external force, so that the elastic member 3 can be limited to or released from the limiting engagement with the first mating groove 2221.

[0121] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the deformable portion 32 may further include a second deformable segment 323, which connects the first deformable segment 321 and the fixing portion 33, thereby causing the first deformable segment 321 and the fixing portion 33 to bend relative to each other, and the first deformable segment 321 and the fixing portion 33 are located on the same side of the second deformable segment 323 along the third direction Z. The arrangement of the second deformable segment 323 facilitates the change of the second preset included angle β between the first deformable segment 321 and the fixing portion 33, enabling the deformable portion 32 to deform elastically.

[0122] Specifically, the second deformation segment 323 can be arc-shaped, thereby reducing stress concentration in the elastic element 3 and facilitating the elastic deformation of the deformation part 32.

[0123] Specifically, such as Figure 10 and Figure 15As shown, in the elastic member 3, there are two first deformation segments 321, and the two first deformation segments 321 are located on opposite sides of the limiting part 31. The limiting part 31 has a U-shaped structure, and the two first deformation segments 321 are connected to the two ends of the U-shaped structure. Correspondingly, there are two second deformation segments 323, which are arc-shaped and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the limiting part 31 and are connected to the two first deformation segments 321 respectively. The bending directions of the two second deformation segments 323 are opposite.

[0124] When the base 2 rotates relative to the main body 1 and applies an external force to the limiting part 31, the deformable parts 32 located on both sides of the limiting part 31 can deform under the action of the external force, so that the external force of the two deformable parts 32 acting on the limiting part 31 is uniform, thereby improving the reliability of the limiting part 31 moving toward or away from the first mating groove 2221.

[0125] like Figure 10 and Figure 15 As shown, the fixing part 33 includes two parts. One end of the two fixing parts 33 is connected to the two second deformation segments 323 respectively. The other ends of the two fixing parts 33 extend in a direction that approaches each other. At this time, the structure of the elastic member 3 is more compact and occupies less space in the main body 1.

[0126] In the above embodiments, as Figure 11 As shown, the elastic element 3 has a structure that is symmetrical about the axis of the limiting part 31, that is, the elastic element 3 is symmetrical about the first direction X or the second direction Y. When the limiting part 31 is subjected to an external force along the first direction X or the second direction Y, the elastic element 3, which is symmetrical about the first direction X or the second direction Y, is subjected to symmetrical force, so that the deformation parts 32 on both sides of the axis of the limiting part 31 act symmetrically on the limiting part 31, and the resultant force of the two external forces is approximately along the axis direction of the limiting part 31 (first direction X or second direction Y), so that the limiting part 31 can move along the first direction X or the second direction Y, and the stability during the movement is high.

[0127] In summary, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the limiting part 31 and the deformable part 32 are structures formed by bending a rod-shaped member, such as a rod-shaped metal or other rigid material. The limiting part 31 and the deformable part 32 formed by bending the rod-shaped member can be easily elastically deformed. In addition, the limiting part 31 and the deformable part 32 are integrally formed, which makes the movement of the limiting part 31 along the first direction X or the second direction Y more stable and improves the reliability of the fit between the limiting part 31 and the first mating groove 2221.

[0128] Specifically, the total length of the rod-shaped member formed by bending to create the elastic member 3 is the sum of the lengths of the limiting part 31, the deformable part 32, and the fixing part 33. This sum of lengths is between 3cm and 15cm. Within this range, the deformable part 32 has a large elastic deformation capacity, which can drive the limiting part 31 to move. Moreover, the elastic member 3 within this size range occupies a moderate amount of space in the main body, making it easy to install. Examples include 3cm, 5cm, 6cm, 8cm, 9cm, 10cm, 13cm, 14cm, and 15cm.

[0129] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the end of the limiting part 31 used for limiting engagement with the first mating groove 2221 is arc-shaped, thereby reducing wear between the mating part 222 and the side wall of the first mating groove 2221 and the second mating groove 2222 during the rotation of the base. Along the direction close to the deformable part 32 (second direction Y), the width W1 of the limiting part 31 gradually increases. The width of the limiting part 31 refers to its dimension along the third direction Z. That is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the position of the limiting part 31 that abuts against the bottom wall of the two mating grooves is small, thereby preventing the limiting part 31 from jamming with the first mating groove 2221 and / or the second mating groove 2222.

[0130] Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, the limiting part 31 is an axisymmetric U-shaped structure.

[0131] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 15 , Figure 15 This is a top view of the elastic element provided in this application in another specific embodiment. In this embodiment, the elastic element 3 includes a limiting part 31 and a deformable part 32. The structure of the limiting part 31 and the deformable part 32 can be found in the embodiment described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0132] and Figure 10 The difference between the embodiments shown is that, Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, the elastic member 3 has a structure that is symmetrical about the axis of the limiting part 31, while Figure 15 In the embodiment shown, the limiting part 31 of the elastic member 3 is a structure symmetrical with respect to the axis of the limiting part 31, the first deformation segment 321 is a structure symmetrical with respect to the axis of the limiting part 31, and the second deformation segment 323 and the fixing part 33 can be asymmetrical structures.

[0133] The following is a detailed description Figure 10 The elastic element shown and Figure 15 The elastic element shown is installed on the main body in this manner.

[0134] Please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 for Figure 5 A partially enlarged view of part I. The main body 1 has a mounting slot 134, which can be disposed in... Figure 5 On the boss shown. The elastic member 3 is fixedly installed in the mounting groove 134, so that the elastic member 3 can be reliably installed on the main body. The side wall of the mounting groove 134 facing the mating member 222 has an opening, and at least a portion of the limiting part 31 can extend out of the mounting groove 134 through the opening, so that the limiting part 31 can mate with the first mating groove 2221 or the second mating groove 2222.

[0135] If the area of ​​the mounting groove 134 is too small, the elastic member 3 installed in the mounting groove 134 will be too small, resulting in a small elastic deformation capacity, which cannot simultaneously satisfy the limiting engagement and release engagement of the limiting part 31 and the first mating groove 2221. If the area of ​​the mounting groove 134 is too large, it will occupy too much space in the main body, which will affect the installation of the bracket assembly 2 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the mounting groove 134 may be located in the wireless charging area of ​​the electronic device, affecting the wireless charging of the electronic device. In some embodiments of this application, the area of ​​the mounting groove 134 can be 35mm². 2 Up to 70mm 2 At this time, the area of ​​the mounting groove 134 is moderate, which allows the elastic member 3 to have a large elastic deformation capacity, thereby enabling the limiting part 31 to be limited and engaged with the first mating groove 2221, and also enabling the limiting engagement to be released. Moreover, the mounting groove 134 will not occupy too much space in the main body, thus avoiding affecting the wireless charging of electronic devices.

[0136] For example, the area of ​​the mounting slot 134 can be 35mm². 2 40mm 2 45mm 2 50mm 2 60mm 2 70mm 2 wait.

[0137] When the depth of the mounting groove 134 is too large, the thickness of the main body for setting the mounting groove 134 needs to be large, which does not meet the user's requirement for a thin and light electronic device bracket. Furthermore, when the depth of the mounting groove 134 is too large, the installation of the elastic element 3 becomes more difficult. When the depth of the mounting groove 134 is too small, the installation reliability of the elastic element 3 to the main body is low during base rotation, and there is a risk of it detaching from the mounting groove 134. In this embodiment, the depth of the mounting groove 134 is 0.5mm to 1.5mm. This eliminates the need for excessive thickness of the main body for setting the mounting groove 134, avoids excessive thickness, facilitates the installation of the elastic element 3, and prevents the elastic element 3 from detaching from the mounting groove 134.

[0138] For example, the depth of the mounting groove 134 can be 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.5mm, etc.

[0139] Please refer to Figure 17 , Figure 17 for Figure 16 Top view, Figure 17 The elastic member 3 shown is in its natural state, that is, the undeformed part has not undergone elastic deformation. The width of the mounting groove 134 along the first direction X or the second direction Y is W. When the deformable part 32 is not deformed along the first direction X or the second direction Y, the distance between the end of the limiting part 31 and the fixed end of the elastic member 3 is L. The fixed end of the elastic member 3 refers to the position where the elastic member 3 is fixedly connected to the main body (that is, the position of the fixed part 33).

[0140] The condition L > W is satisfied, meaning that when the elastic element 3 is installed in the mounting groove 134, it is in a compressed state, so that the limiting part 31 can extend out of the opening of the mounting groove 134 under the action of the rebound force.

[0141] Specifically, such as Figure 17 As shown, the mounting groove 134 includes a first sidewall 134a and a second sidewall 134b disposed opposite to each other, and an opening for the protrusion of the limiting part 31 is provided in the first sidewall 134a. When the elastic member 3 is installed in the mounting groove 134, the limiting part 31 of the elastic member 3 protrudes from the mounting groove 134 through the opening, and the fixing part 33 of the elastic member 3 abuts against the second sidewall 134b.

[0142] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 134 may be provided on the boss of the main body, and after the elastic member 3 is installed in the mounting groove 134, the mounting groove 134 is covered by a cover plate.

[0143] In other embodiments, the main body may also include a mounting base, on which the elastic element is mounted.

[0144] Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the elastic element provided in this application installed on the mounting base. The mounting base 13 includes a first mounting part 132 and a second mounting part 133 that are detachably connected. The first mounting part 132 and the second mounting part 133 form the aforementioned mounting groove 134. The elastic element 3 is sandwiched between the first mounting part 132 and the second mounting part 133, thereby improving the installation reliability of the elastic element 3. The side wall of the first mounting part 132 is provided with an opening 131 for the extension of the limiting part 31.

[0145] The following is a detailed description Figure 9 and Figure 15 The mounting structure of the elastic element and the mounting base in the illustrated embodiment.

[0146] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 9 The fixing part 33 of the elastic member 3 is also connected to the first connecting part 331. The first connecting part 331 is connected to one end of the fixing part 33 that is away from the deformable part 32. Specifically, the first connecting part 331, the fixing part 33, the deformable part 32 and the limiting part 31 can be an integrally formed structure.

[0147] The first connecting part 331 may be provided with a mounting hole. The first mounting part 132, the second mounting part 133 and the first connecting part 331 are detachably connected by fasteners. The fasteners may be commonly used detachable fasteners such as screws and pins.

[0148] Therefore, for Figure 9 In the embodiment shown, the first connecting part 331 is the fixed end of the elastic member 3. When subjected to external force, the elastic member 3 undergoes elastic deformation with the first connecting part 331 and the fixed part 33 connected to the first connecting part 331 as fulcrums, causing the limiting part 31 to move.

[0149] In another specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 19 , Figure 19 for Figure 18 A structural diagram excluding the second mounting portion. The first mounting portion 132 has at least one first stop portion 1321 and at least one second stop portion 1322. The first stop portion 1321 and the second stop portion 1322 are distributed along a first direction X or a second direction Y. The deformable portion 32 and the fixing portion 33 are located between the first stop portion 1321 and the second stop portion 1322 and abut against them.

[0150] When the limiting part 31 is subjected to an external force and moves along the second direction Y, the limiting part 31 applies an external force along the second direction Y to the deformable part 32. At this time, since the fixing part 33 abuts against the second stop part 1322, the deformable part 32 can elastically deform with the second stop part 1322 as the fixed point, allowing the limiting part 31 to move along the second direction Y. When the external force along the second direction Y on the limiting part 31 decreases or disappears, under the action of the rebound force of the deformable part 32, the limiting part 31 moves along the first direction X. During this process, the first stop part 1321 can abut against the deformable part 32 to restrict the continued movement of the limiting part 31.

[0151] like Figure 19 In the embodiment shown, the first mounting part 132 is provided with two first stop parts 1321 and two second stop parts 1322. The two second stop parts 1322 are respectively used to abut against two fixing parts 33 that are symmetrical about the axis of the limiting part 31. The two first stop parts 1321 are respectively used to abut against two first deformable segments 321 that are symmetrical about the axis of the limiting part 31.

[0152] In addition, the first mounting part 132 also includes a second connecting part 1323, and the first mounting part 132 and the second mounting part 133 are detachably connected through the second connecting part 1323, for example, by means of a screw or pin.

Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of this application should be covered within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
