[0028] In the following description, specific details such as particular system architectures and techniques are set forth for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of this application. However, those skilled in the art will understand that this application may also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, apparatuses, circuits, and methods have been omitted so as not to obscure the description of this application with unnecessary detail.
[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0030] This application provides a mounting bracket that can be used to mount external devices such as, but not limited to, mobile phones and tablets. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the mounting bracket provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of the mounting bracket in the embodiment. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the mounting bracket in the embodiment.
[0031] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 10 includes a magnetic suction component 100, a damping component 200, and a support component 300. The magnetic suction component 100 is a component of the mounting bracket 10 used to mount external devices, the support component 300 is a component of the mounting bracket 10 used to support external objects, and the damping component 200 is connected between the magnetic suction component 100 and the support component 300.
[0032] The magnetic assembly 100 has a magnetic surface 101 for attaching external devices. The external device can be magnetically attached to the magnetic surface 101. The magnetic surface 101 can be... Figure 1 The plane shown. In other embodiments, the magnetic attraction surface 101 may also be non-planar, such as a curved surface.
[0033] The support assembly 300 has a universal ball joint 310. The damping assembly 200 is hinged to the universal ball joint 310 and connected to the magnetic attraction assembly 100, so that the magnetic attraction assembly 100 can drive the damping assembly 200 to move relative to the support assembly 300, thereby realizing the function of multi-dimensional and multi-angle adjustment of the magnetic attraction surface 101.
[0034] The magnetic component 100 is magnetically attached to the damping component 200, enabling a detachable connection. This design allows the mounting bracket 10 to be disassembled and replaced with new magnetic components 100 as needed. For example, if the damping component 200 or support component 300 of one mounting bracket 10 is damaged, the magnetic component 100 can be removed and installed on another damping component 200. Alternatively, during iterations of the magnetic components 100, new magnetic components 100 can replace older ones. Furthermore, magnetic components 100 with different functions can be replaced as needed, thus expanding the applicability of the mounting bracket 10. Understandably, different magnetic components 100 may have different functions; for example, some magnetic components 100 have wireless charging capabilities, while others only have magnetic attachment capabilities.
[0035] Optionally, the magnetic traction assembly 100 has a receiving groove 102 on its outer surface, and the damping assembly 200 is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 102 and magnetically attracted to the wall of the receiving groove 102. The damping assembly 200 may have an exposed mounting groove 201, and the universal ball joint 310 may be installed in the mounting groove 201 and in contact with the wall of the mounting groove 201. The damping assembly 200 can move relative to the universal ball joint 310 under the drive of the magnetic traction assembly 100. At this time, the wall of the mounting groove 201 will rub against the surface of the universal ball joint 310, and the damping assembly 200 can provide damping force for the movement of the magnetic traction assembly 100 through this friction.
[0036] The shape of the receiving groove 102 is, for example, but not limited to, Figure 2 The circular groove shown. The wall surface to which the damping component 200 is attracted is not limited to any wall surface of the receiving groove 102. For example, the receiving groove 102 may have a bottom wall and side walls, and the damping component 200 may be magnetically attracted to the bottom wall or the side wall of the receiving groove 102. Alternatively, the receiving groove 102 may be an arc-shaped groove with only one wall surface, and the damping component 200 may also be magnetically attracted to the arc-shaped groove of the receiving groove 102. The outer surface of the damping component 200 may also be in contact with the wall surface of the receiving groove 102.
[0037] In this embodiment, the damping component 200 can be completely disposed within the receiving groove 102, and the outer surface of the damping component 200 can be flush with the outer surface of the magnetic attraction component 100, so that the mounting bracket 10 has a high degree of visual consistency. In other embodiments, the damping component 200 can also be partially disposed within the receiving groove 102, with another part protruding from the magnetic attraction component 100. The receiving groove 102 may not be provided on the outer surface of the magnetic attraction component 100, as long as the magnetic attraction component 100 can be magnetically attracted to the damping component 200. The following description mainly uses the example of the receiving groove 102 being provided on the outer surface of the magnetic attraction component 100.
[0038] The detailed structure of each component of the mounting bracket 10 will be described below. Please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the magnetic attraction component provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 An exploded view of the magnetic attraction component in the embodiment. Figure 6 yes Figure 4 An exploded view of some of the magnetic components in the embodiment.
[0039] In some embodiments, the magnetic attraction assembly 100 includes a first housing 110 and a first magnet 120. A receiving groove 102 is disposed on the outer surface of the first housing 110. The first magnet 120 is disposed on the first housing 110 and is used to provide magnetic attraction force for the adsorption damping assembly 200. The magnetic attraction assembly 100 may also include a second magnet 130, which may be disposed on the first housing 110 and is used to provide magnetic attraction force for adsorbing external devices. In other embodiments, the first magnet 120 may also be used to provide both magnetic attraction force for the adsorption damping assembly 200 and magnetic attraction force for adsorbing external devices, thus eliminating the need for the second magnet 130 in the magnetic attraction assembly 100. The following description mainly uses the magnetic attraction assembly 100 including the first magnet 120 and the second magnet 130 as an example. The shapes of the first magnet 120 and the second magnet 130 can be set as needed, and the number of the first magnet 120 and the second magnet 130 can also be set to one or more as needed.
[0040] It should be understood that the terminology used in this specification and appended claims is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application. As used in this specification and appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Similarly, the terms “first” and “second” in the description of this application are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. Furthermore, the term “multiple” in the description of this application means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0041] The first magnet 120 may be disposed on the side of the first housing 110 away from the damping assembly 200. The first housing 110 may have a first placement groove 103, in which the first magnet 120 is disposed. The first placement groove 103 may be, for example, but not limited to, a... Figure 6 The circular groove is shown. The magnetic attraction assembly 100 may further include a cover 140 covering the first magnet 120. The cover 140 may be disposed on the side of the first housing 110 away from the damping assembly 200 and form the magnetic attraction surface 101 of the magnetic attraction assembly 100. The magnetic attraction assembly 100 may utilize the magnetic attraction force generated by the first magnet 120 to attract external devices to the magnetic attraction surface 101. In other embodiments, the magnetic attraction surface 101 may also be formed by the first magnet 120.
[0042] The second magnet 130 can also be disposed on the side of the first housing 110 away from the damping assembly 200. The first housing 110 may also have a second placement groove 104, in which the second magnet 130 is disposed. The second placement groove 104 can be an annular groove, for example, but not limited to... Figure 6 The annular groove is shown. The magnetic attraction assembly 100 may include a plurality of second magnets 130, which may be arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction and are all disposed in the second placement groove 104.
[0043] The plurality of second magnets 130 can be divided into two magnet groups, each magnet group including a plurality of second magnets 130 arranged along the circumferential direction, with one magnet group surrounding the other magnet group. The polarities of the same side surfaces of the two magnet groups can be opposite to generate a strong magnetic attraction force. The magnetic attraction assembly 100 may also include a magnetic attracting sheet 150, which can be an iron sheet. The magnetic attracting sheet 150 can be placed on the bottom wall of the second placement groove 104, and the plurality of second magnets 130 can be disposed on the magnetic attracting sheet 150. The magnetic attraction assembly 100 may also include a fixing plate 160, which can cover the first magnet 120 and be fixedly connected to the first housing 110 to achieve stable installation of the first magnet 120 in the first placement groove 103.
[0044] The first housing 110 may include a first peripheral sidewall 111, a second peripheral sidewall 112, and a third peripheral sidewall 113, which are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside. The first peripheral sidewall 111 may be the outer peripheral sidewall of the first housing 110. The first peripheral sidewall 111 and the second peripheral sidewall 112, together with their respective bottom walls, form a second placement groove 104. The third peripheral sidewall 113, together with its inner bottom wall, forms a first placement groove 103.
[0045] The second peripheral sidewall 112 may have several clearance openings at intervals, and the magnetic sheet 150 may have first lugs 151 passing through the clearance openings at intervals. Each first lug 151 has a through hole. A fixing post may be provided on the bottom wall between the second peripheral sidewall 112 and the third peripheral sidewall 113. The fixing post is located below the first lugs 151 of the magnetic sheet 150 and is fixedly connected to them to fix the magnetic sheet 150 on the first housing 110, thereby preventing the second magnet 130 from shaking.
[0046] The second circumferential sidewall 112 may be higher than the third circumferential sidewall 113. A plurality of support plates 114 may be provided between the second circumferential sidewall 112 and the third circumferential sidewall 113 to connect them. Steps 115 may be provided on the support plates 114, and the periphery of the fixing plate 160 may cover the steps 115, so that the fixing plate 160 is flush with the upper surface of the second circumferential sidewall 112. A plurality of second lugs 161 may be spaced apart on the periphery of the fixing plate 160. The second lugs 161 may be recessed and connected to the main body of the fixing plate 160, and each second lug 161 may have a through hole. The second lugs 161 may be stacked on top of the first lugs 151. The magnetic assembly 100 may include screws passing through the through holes in the second lugs 161 and the through holes in the first lugs 151, and the screws may be connected to the fixing post. By using the recessed design of the second lug 161 relative to the main body of the fixing plate 160, the main body of the fixing plate 160 and the screw nut can have a flush upper surface, which helps to improve the flatness of each structural component after installation.
[0047] It should be noted that the above-described installation structure of the magnetic component 100 is only an example provided by the embodiments of this application, and the magnetic components 100 in other embodiments of this application are not limited to the above structure.
[0048] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the magnetic attraction assembly provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 8 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of some of the mounting brackets provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 8 The damping component 200 shown can be at least partially inserted into Figure 7 In the receiving groove 102 of the magnetic suction assembly 100 shown.
[0049] In some embodiments, a first limiting portion 116 may be provided on the wall of the receiving groove 102, and a second limiting portion 211 may be provided on the outer surface of the damping component 200. The first limiting portion 116 and the second limiting portion 211 form a limiting engagement to prevent the magnetic suction component 100 from rotating relative to the damping component 200 when rotating relative to the universal ball head 310. The specific structure of the first limiting portion 116 and the second limiting portion 211 can be designed as needed, for example, as a matching mortise and tenon structure, or as a matching threaded structure.
[0050] Optionally, the first limiting portion 116 is a strip-shaped protrusion, and the second limiting portion 211 is a strip-shaped groove. The first limiting portion 116 and the second limiting portion 211 can form a limiting engagement by snap-fitting. The damping assembly 200 can be inserted into the receiving groove 102 along the first direction X. Both the first limiting portion 116 and the second limiting portion 211 can extend along the first direction X. The first direction X can be the depth direction of the receiving groove 102, for example... Figure 3 As shown in the upper direction. During the insertion of the damping assembly 200 into the receiving slot 102, the first limiting part 116 can be simultaneously inserted into the second limiting part 211 along a second direction Y opposite to the first direction X. Therefore, after the damping assembly 200 is installed in place, the limiting cooperation between the first limiting part 116 and the second limiting part 211 can prevent the magnetic suction assembly 100 from rotating relative to the damping assembly 200. The second direction Y is, for example, […]. Figure 3 The downward direction is shown.
[0051] Understandably, all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0052] In some embodiments, an assembly groove 105 may be provided on the wall surface of the groove opening end of the receiving groove 102. It can be understood that the groove opening end is the end where the groove forms the opening, for example... Figure 3 The bottom end of the receiving groove 102 is shown. The end of the damping assembly 200 near the opening of the receiving groove 102 may have a protruding mounting portion 212, which engages with the mounting groove 105. The mounting portion 212 may be located at the end of the damping assembly 200 away from the magnetic surface 101. The mounting groove 105 may be an annular groove on the inner peripheral wall of the receiving groove 102, and the mounting portion 212 may be an annular protrusion on the outer peripheral wall of the damping assembly 200. By engaging the mounting portion 212 with the mounting groove 105, the mounting bracket 10 can achieve a sealed assembly between the damping assembly 200 and the magnetic assembly 100.
[0053] The first limiting part 116 can be disposed on the side of the assembly groove 105 near the magnetic suction surface 101, and is disposed on the inner peripheral wall of the receiving groove 102. The second limiting part 211 can be disposed on the side of the assembly part 212 near the magnetic suction surface 101, and is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the damping assembly 200. In some embodiments, one end of the first limiting part 116 can extend to connect with the groove wall of the assembly groove 105. In other embodiments, the first limiting part 116 can also be spaced apart from the groove wall of the assembly groove 105.
[0054] The first limiting portion 116, near the assembly groove 105, can form a guide surface 117. The guide surface 117 is arc-shaped and used to guide the damping assembly 200 into the receiving groove 102. The guide surface 117 can extend from the surface of the first limiting portion 116 away from the inner peripheral wall of the receiving groove 102 to the inner peripheral wall of the receiving groove 102. The magnetic suction assembly 100 can have multiple first limiting portions 116 spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The guide surfaces 117 on the multiple first limiting portions 116 can cooperate to guide the damping assembly 200 when it enters the receiving groove 102. The number and position of the second limiting portions 211 correspond one-to-one with the first limiting portions 116.
[0055] In some embodiments, the damping assembly 200 includes a second housing 210. The second housing 210 may form at least a portion of the outer surface of the damping assembly 200. A second limiting portion 211 may be disposed on the outer surface of the second housing 210. An assembly portion 212 may be disposed on the outer surface of the second housing 210, for example, on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the second housing 210 away from the magnetic attraction surface 101. The second housing 210 is at least partially disposed in the receiving groove 102. The second housing 210 may be inserted into the receiving groove 102 along a first direction X. The first direction X can be considered as the depth direction of the receiving groove 102, i.e. Figure 6 The upward direction is shown.
[0056] Optionally, the second housing 210 has a first portion 213 and a second portion 214 arranged along a first direction X, wherein the outer diameter of the first portion 213 is larger than the outer diameter of the second portion 214. The first portion 213 can be directly connected to the second portion 214, or it can be indirectly connected to the second portion 214 through other portions of the second housing 210. It should be noted that the connection described herein includes, but is not limited to, bonding, welding, and integral molding. Optionally, the first portion 213 and the second portion 214 are directly connected, and the second portion 214 is the end of the second housing 210 near the magnetic surface 101. The outer diameter of the second housing 210 can gradually decrease from the first portion 213 to the second portion 214, so that the second housing 210 forms an inclined outer peripheral surface, thereby facilitating the insertion of the second housing 210 into the receiving groove 102. The first portion 213 can be the end of the second housing 210 away from the magnetic surface 101.
[0057] Please see Figures 8 to 10 , Figure 9 This is an exploded structural diagram of a damping component provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 Another exploded view of the damping component in the embodiment.
[0058] In some embodiments, the damping assembly 200 may further include a metal member 220. The metal member 220 is disposed within the second housing 210, and the magnetic attraction assembly 100 can be used to generate a magnetic attraction force on the metal member 220, for example, by using a second magnet 130. The metal member 220 may be disposed inside the second housing 210, and the damping assembly 200 may include a cover plate 230, which covers the metal member 220 and forms part of the outer surface of the damping assembly 200 for adsorbing the magnetic attraction assembly 100. The metal member 220 may be, for example, but not limited to, sheet-like.
[0059] In this embodiment, the metal part 220 can exert a force on the second housing 210 towards the magnetic attraction assembly 100 under the magnetic attraction of the second magnet 130, so that the cover sheet 230 is attracted to the magnetic attraction assembly 100. In other embodiments, the metal part 220 can also form part of the outer surface of the damping assembly 200 and be directly attracted to the magnetic attraction assembly 100. In other embodiments, the damping assembly 200 can also have a magnet inside that can be magnetically attracted to the second magnet 130, without the need for the metal part 220.
[0060] The damping assembly 200 may further include a flexible element 240 disposed in the second housing 210. The damping assembly 200 can be hinged to the universal ball joint 310 via the flexible element 240. The second housing 210 may have a mounting opening 202, and the flexible element 240 may have a mounting groove 201 communicating with the mounting opening 202. The universal ball joint 310 can be rotatably embedded in the mounting groove 201 via the mounting opening 202 and contact the wall surface of the mounting groove 201. The mounting groove 201 can be an arc-shaped groove, and its wall surface can approximate a spherical surface. The flexible element 240 is made of a flexible material, such as silicone, thereby providing a large frictional force between the flexible element 240 and the universal ball joint 310, enabling it to remain stable in its position when the magnetic traction assembly 100 is not pushed. The wall surface of the second housing 210 surrounding the mounting opening 202 can be arc-shaped to facilitate the rotation of the universal ball joint 310.
[0061] The mounting opening 202 is located on the side of the second housing 210 away from the magnetic surface 101. A first opening 203 can be formed on the other side of the second housing 210 near the magnetic surface 101. The diameter of the first opening 203 can be larger than the diameter of the mounting opening 202. An internal cavity is formed inside the second housing 210, connecting the first opening 203 and the mounting opening 202. The universal ball joint 310, the metal part 220, and the flexible part 240 can be disposed within the internal cavity of the second housing 210. A cover plate 230 can be placed over the first opening 203. An annular stepped structure can be provided on the end face of the second housing 210 where the first opening 203 is located, and the cover plate 230 can be disposed on this stepped structure.
[0062] The metal component 220 can be stacked on top of the flexible component 240. Both the metal component 220 and the flexible component 240 have several clearance holes on their outer peripheral surfaces. The damping assembly 200 may include several screws, which can be inserted into the second housing 210 through the clearance holes on the outer peripheral surfaces of the metal component 220 and the flexible component 240. The screw nuts can abut against the metal component 220 to fix the metal component 220 and the flexible component 240 inside the second housing 210. The inner peripheral surface of the second housing 210 may have several mounting posts, into which screws can be inserted. The inner peripheral surface of the second housing 210 may also have several reinforcing ribs, which can extend to the side of the second housing 210 where the mounting opening 202 is located.
[0063] The flexible component 240 may have a second opening 204, which connects to the mounting groove 201. The second opening 204 and the groove of the mounting groove 201 may be located on opposite sides of the flexible component 240. The groove of the mounting groove 201 may be located on the side of the flexible component 240 away from the magnetic surface 101, and the second opening 204 may be located on the other side of the flexible component 240 closer to the magnetic surface 101. The diameter of the second opening 204 may be smaller than the diameter of the groove of the mounting groove 201. A metal component 220 may be stacked on top of the flexible component 240. The metal component 220 may have a third opening 205, which connects to the second opening 204. The second opening 204 and the third opening 205 are used to cooperate with the support assembly 300 for installation, as will be explained later.
[0064] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 yes Figure 8 An exploded view of part of the mounting bracket in the embodiment. The support assembly 300 may include a connector 320. A universal joint 310 may be disposed on the connector 320. The damping assembly 200 is hinged to the universal joint 310, thereby allowing it to move relative to the connector 320. Other structures of the support assembly 300 will be described below; here, the focus is mainly on the connection relationship between the connector 320 and the damping assembly 200. The connector 320 includes a first connecting portion 321, which can connect to a universal joint.

Figure 14 yes Figure 13 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a portion of the support components in an exploded state.
[0066] In some embodiments, the support assembly 300 may include a first locking member 330 and a second locking member 340. The first locking member 330 may be a hollow structure, such as a nut. The first locking member 330 is disposed in the first connecting portion 321. The second locking member 340 may be inserted into the first locking member 330 to achieve a fixed connection. The second locking member 340 may be, for example, a screw. The second locking member 340 may pass through the universal joint 310 along a second direction Y and be inserted into the first locking member 330, thus fixing the universal joint 310 to the first locking member 330 and securing it to the first connecting portion 321. The second direction Y is... Figure 12 The downward direction is shown.
[0067] The second locking member 340, during installation, can pass through along the second direction Y, such as... Figure 10 The second opening 204 shown enables mounting on the ball joint 310 and the first locking member 330, so that the mounting bracket 10 can install or adjust the second locking member 340 while the flexible member 240 is mounted on the ball joint 310. It is understood that the second opening 204 is not necessarily a through hole.
[0068] During installation, the second locking member 340 can also pass sequentially through the third opening 205 and the second opening 204 along the second direction Y, thereby achieving installation on the universal ball joint 310 and the first locking member 330. This allows the mounting bracket 10 to adjust the second locking member 340 while the damping assembly 200 is installed on the support assembly 300. Understandably, the third opening 205 is not necessarily a through hole.
[0069] In some embodiments, the universal ball joint 310 may be provided with a third limiting portion 301, and the first connecting portion 321 may be provided with a fourth limiting portion 302. The third limiting portion 301 and the fourth limiting portion 302 can form a limiting engagement to prevent the universal ball joint 310 from rotating relative to the first connecting portion 321. The third limiting portion 301 is, for example, a... Figure 14 The groove shown, the fourth limiting part 302 is, for example, Figure 13 At the end of the first connecting part 321 shown, the third limiting part 301 can be engaged with the fourth limiting part 302 to achieve a limiting fit.
[0070] The outer peripheral surface of the third limiting part 301 may be partially flat, and the groove wall surface of the fourth limiting part 302 may also be partially flat. The two parts can fit together to achieve a limiting fit that prevents the universal ball joint 310 from rotating. Of course, the third limiting part 301 and the fourth limiting part 302 can also be other structures that can achieve a limiting fit. For example, their walls may be provided with matching threads.
[0071] A fifth limiting portion 303 may be provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first locking member 330, and a sixth limiting portion 304 may be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the first connecting portion 321. The fifth limiting portion 303 and the sixth limiting portion 304 can form a limiting fit to prevent one from rotating relative to the other. Optionally, both the fifth limiting portion 303 and the sixth limiting portion 304 are strip-shaped structures extending along the second direction Y, and form a limiting fit. For example, the fifth limiting portion 303 can be a strip-shaped protrusion, and the sixth limiting portion 304 can be a strip-shaped groove, and the fifth limiting portion 303 can engage with the sixth limiting portion 304. Alternatively, both the fifth limiting portion 303 and the sixth limiting portion 304 can be strip-shaped protrusions, and they overlap along the circumferential direction of relative rotation, so that one can prevent the other from rotating, thereby achieving a limiting effect. The first locking member 330 may have a plurality of fifth limiting parts 303 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on its outer peripheral surface, and the first connecting part 321 may have a plurality of sixth limiting parts 304 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction on its inner peripheral surface.
[0072] In some embodiments, in the second direction Y, the first connecting portion 321 may have at least two portions with progressively increasing inner diameters to form at least one limiting boss 305 on the inner circumferential surface of the first connecting portion 321. The first locking member 330 may be inserted into the first connecting portion 321 along the first direction X and engaged with the limiting boss 305. The first direction X is, for example,... Figure 12 The upper direction is shown, and the second direction Y is, for example, Figure 12 The downward direction is shown.
[0073] The fifth limiting part 303 can form a limiting engagement with the sixth limiting part 304 when the first locking member 330 is inserted into the first connecting part 321 along the first direction X, thereby preventing the first locking member 330 from rotating relative to the first connecting part 321. The limiting boss 305 can prevent the first locking member 330 from moving further along the first direction X after it is installed in place. The number of limiting bosses 305 can be... Figure 14 The two shown can also be one or more; multiple limiting bosses 305 can be arranged sequentially at intervals along the first direction X, and the first locking member 330 can have a portion that engages with each limiting boss 305. The second locking member 340 can abut against the side of the universal ball joint 310 opposite to the first locking member 330 and be fixedly connected to the first locking member 330 to prevent the first locking member 330 from moving along the second direction Y. Thus, the universal ball joint 310 can be stably installed on the first connecting part 321, preventing the universal ball joint 310 from disengaging from the first connecting part 321 during prolonged use or under significant external force.
[0074] Please see Figure 15 , Figure 15 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the support components provided in some embodiments of this application.
[0075] In some embodiments, the support assembly 300 includes a connector 320 and a support member 350. The support member 350 is connected to the connector 320. The support member 350 can serve as the main support component of the mounting bracket 10. The support assembly 300 may also include a mounting member 360 disposed on the support member 350, which is used to enable external mounting of the support assembly 300. The connector 320 may be disposed at one end of the support member 350, and the mounting member 360 may be disposed at the other end of the support member 350. The specific structure of the mounting member 360 can be designed as needed.
[0076] For example, the mounting element 360 may include Velcro, one side of which can be fixed to the surface of the support element 350 by means of dispensing or other methods, and the other side can form a hook surface for adhesion to an external surface. Alternatively, the mounting element 360 may be double-sided adhesive, which can be adhered to the surface of the support element 350 for attaching the support element 350 to an external surface. Understandably, the mounting element 360 can also be designed as other structures that enable the external mounting of the support element 350. In other embodiments, the support element 350 can also achieve external mounting by itself, for example, by a snap-fit mounting structure.
[0077] Please see Figures 15 to 18 , Figure 16 yes Figure 15 A partial cross-sectional view of the support component in the embodiment. Figure 17 yes Figure 15 An exploded view of the support component in the embodiment. Figure 18 yes Figure 15 A partially exploded view of the support component in the embodiment from another perspective.
[0078] Optionally, the support member 350 is a flexible structure. The support member 350 may include a soft gel body 351 and a flexible metal body 352. The soft gel body 351 may be made of flexible plastic. The flexible metal body 352 may be made of flexible metal, such as, but not limited to, aluminum. The flexible metal body 352 may be, but is not limited to, a strip-shaped sheet. The soft gel body 351 may cover the flexible metal body 352 to protect it and also improve the ductility of the support member 350. In other embodiments, the support member 350 may also be a rigid structure or other flexible structures. The outer surface of the support member 350 may be a rough surface; for example, the outer surface of the support member 350 may have several raised strips or dots.
[0079] In some embodiments, the connector 320 may include a first connecting portion 321 and a second connecting portion 322. The first connecting portion 321 may be bent and disposed on the second connecting portion 322, for example, but not limited to, disposed at the end of the second connecting portion 322 near the universal joint 310. The bending angle of the first connecting portion 321 relative to the second connecting portion 322 may be, for example, but not limited to, a right angle. The first connecting portion 321 may be a cylindrical structure. The second connecting portion 322 is connected to the support member 350. The connection direction may be, for example, plug-in, threaded connection, welding, etc. The following description mainly uses the example of the support member 350 being plugged into the second connecting portion 322.
[0080] The second connecting portion 322 may be provided with a insertion groove 306, into which the support member 350 is inserted. The angle between the depth direction of the insertion groove 306 and the extension direction of the first connecting portion 321 can be as follows: Figure 16 The angle shown is a right angle, but it can also be an acute or obtuse angle, so that the support member 350 inserted into the insertion slot 306 can be bent relative to the first connecting part 321. The extending direction of the first connecting part 321 can be parallel to the second direction Y.
[0081] The support assembly 300 may further include a fastener 370 and a third locking member 380. The fastener 370 and the third locking member 380 can be inserted into the insertion slot 306 from opposite sides of the second connecting portion 322, and are both inserted into the portion of the support member 350 located in the insertion slot 306. Thus, the fastener 370 and the third locking member 380 can apply force to the second connecting portion 322 from opposite sides of the second connecting portion 322 to prevent the second connecting portion 322 from deforming under the long-term action of the support member 350.
[0082] The fixing member 370 and the third locking member 380 can be connected, and both can be inserted into the second connecting portion 322 in opposite directions and mat with each other. For example, the third locking member 380 can be inserted into the second connecting portion 322 in the first direction X, and the fixing member 370 can be inserted into the second connecting portion 322 in the second direction Y. The connection between the fixing member 370 and the third locking member 380 can be a threaded connection. The third locking member 380 can be a screw.
[0083] Optionally, the fastener 370 has a fastening portion 371, which is a protrusion on the main body of the fastener 370. The fastening portion 371 and the third locking member 380 are respectively inserted into the insertion groove 306 from opposite sides of the second connecting portion 322. The number of the fastening portion 371 and the third locking member 380 can both be at least two. The fastening portion 371 and the third locking member 380 can be mated one-to-one within the second connecting portion 322.
[0084] The portion of the support member 350 inserted into the insertion groove 306 may have mounting holes 307. There may be at least two mounting holes 307, specifically corresponding one-to-one with the fixing part 371 and the third locking member 380. Multiple mounting holes 307 may be arranged at intervals along the depth direction of the insertion groove 306. The fixing part 371 may pass through the mounting holes 307. The third locking member 380 may mate with the fixing part 371 in the mounting holes 307.
[0085] The main body of the fastener 370 can be a cover, which can be placed on one side of the connector 320. The support assembly 300 may also include a mating cover 390, which can be placed on the connector 320 from opposite sides of the main body of the fastener 370 and connected to it. The fastener 370 and the mating cover 390 can cooperate to cover the second connecting portion 322. Both the fastener 370 and the mating cover 390 can be snapped onto the second connecting portion 322. The second connecting portion 322 may have several insertion holes, and the mating cover 390 may have insertion posts corresponding to the insertion holes. The mating cover 390 can be positioned and installed on the second connecting portion 322 through the cooperation of the insertion posts and insertion holes. The main body of the fastener 370 may also be provided with a positioning post similar to an insert post, and the second connecting part 322 may be provided with a hole corresponding to the positioning post. The positioning post can cooperate with the hole to realize the positioning and installation of the fastener 370 on the second connecting part 322, so as to avoid the fastener 370 being misaligned due to deviation during the installation process.
[0086] The end of the support member 350 extending into the insertion groove 306 may be provided with a clearance 308 to form a gap between the end face of the support member 350 and the groove wall of the insertion groove 306. In other words, the end of the support member 350 inserted into the insertion groove 306 may not touch the bottom, thereby preventing any residual adhesive from the manufacturing process from causing inconvenience in the installation of the support member 350. A groove 309 may also be provided on the surface of the end of the support member 350 near the connector 320, and the second connecting part 322 can be engaged with the groove 309 to improve the tightness of the fit between the support member 350 and the connector 320, preventing the connector 320 from wobbling relative to the support member 350. The groove 309 may be located on opposite sides of the end of the support member 350. The support member 350 may also have a rib in the groove 309, which can abut against the connector 320 to improve the tightness of the fit between the connector 320 and the support member 350. The edge of the slot 309 may also be provided with a step that is adapted to the fastener 370 and the mating cover 390. The step can be engaged with the fastener 370 and the mating cover 390 to improve the tightness of the fit.
