[0003] Therefore, how to position the display screen of an aircraft seat at the appropriate angle is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a PED bracket to solve the technical problem that the placement angle of the display screen of the aircraft seat is not suitable for passengers to view.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a PED support, which includes:

[0007] Base;

[0008] A support assembly includes a frame and an elastic element. One end of the frame is pivotally connected to the base. The frame has a first position against the chair back and a second position away from the chair back along its rotational trajectory. The elastic element is kinetically connected to the frame and has a spring force that pushes the frame to rotate towards the second position.

[0009] A locking component, which is mounted on the base or backrest, has a first state that locks the frame in the first position and a second state that allows the frame to disengage from the first position.

[0010] In some embodiments, the base has a mounting hole, and the frame has a pivot that passes through the mounting hole so that the frame can be rotatably mounted on the base.

[0011] In some embodiments, the elastic element includes a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the pivot and its two ends are respectively connected to the frame and the base.

[0012] In some embodiments, the pivot is located at the top of the frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, a slot is provided at the bottom of the frame.

[0014] In some embodiments, the support assembly further includes a damping element, the two ends of which contact the frame and the base respectively, and the damping element has a frictional force that prevents the frame from rotating relative to the base.

[0015] In some embodiments, the frame has a damping hole, the damping element includes a damping rod, one end of the damping rod is connected to the base, and the damping rod passes through the damping hole.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] To address the technical problem of unsuitable viewing angles for aircraft seat displays, this invention provides a PED bracket that allows the frame 210 to be positioned away from the seat back, thereby making the display screen's viewing angle suitable for passengers.

[0027] It should be noted that the PED bracket described in this utility model is used in, but not limited to, aircraft seats. For ease of explanation, this utility model only uses the application of the PED bracket in aircraft seats as an example for explanation. The principle of the PED bracket in other types of equipment is essentially the same as that in aircraft seats, and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a PED bracket in one embodiment of the present invention. The PED bracket includes a base 100, a support component 200, and a locking component 300. The support component 200 includes a frame 210 and an elastic element 220. One end of the frame 210 is pivotally connected to the base 100. The frame 210 has a first position against the chair back and a second position away from the chair back on its rotational trajectory. The elastic element 220 is connected to the frame 210 and has a spring force that pushes the frame 210 to rotate towards the second position. The locking component 300 is installed on the base 100 or the chair back and has a first state that locks the frame 210 in the first position and a second state that allows the frame 210 to disengage from the first position.

[0029] In this embodiment, the display screen is first fixed to the frame 210. When the passenger needs to use the display screen, the locking component 300 can be adjusted to the second state, causing the frame 210 to rotate away from the seat back to the second position, thereby making the display screen angle suitable for the passenger's viewing. When the passenger does not need to use the display screen, the frame 210 can be rotated to the first position, and the locking component 300 can be adjusted to the first state, causing the frame 210 to be against the seat back, thereby reducing the space occupied by the frame 210 and the display screen.

[0030] In some embodiments, the base 100 has a mounting hole (standard in the figure), and the frame 210 has a pivot 211 that passes through the mounting hole (standard in the figure) so that the frame 210 is rotatably mounted on the base 100. Since the pivot 211 can slide relative to the base 100, the frame 210 as a whole can rotate relative to the base 100 about the axis of the pivot 211.

[0031] Any implementation of the elastic element 220 that can push the frame 210 away from the chair back is feasible. In some embodiments, the elastic element 220 includes a torsion spring 221, which is sleeved on the pivot 211, with its two ends connected to the frame 210 and the base 100, respectively. Since the torsion spring 221 is sleeved on the pivot 211, radial deformation of the torsion spring 221 can be avoided under the support of the pivot 211. Since the two ends of the torsion spring 221 are connected to the frame 210 and the base 100, the elastic force of the torsion spring 221 can act on the frame 210, thereby pushing the frame 210 away from the chair back.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the pivot 211 is located at the top of the frame 210. As the backrest is tilted backward, the frame 210 can rotate around the pivot 211 to make the bottom of the frame 210 tilt upward, so that the placement angle of the display is suitable for the passenger to view.

[0033] It is understood that the display screen is not only a specific display screen embedded in the frame 210, but also a tablet or mobile phone brought by the passenger. In some embodiments, a slot 213 is provided at the bottom of the frame 210, and the passenger can place his or her tablet or mobile phone in the slot 213 so that the frame 210 can support the tablet or mobile phone. Since the width of the slot 213 is greater than the thickness of the tablet or mobile phone, the tablet or mobile phone can be tilted in the slot 213.

[0034] In some embodiments, the support assembly 200 further includes a damping element 230, with its two ends contacting the frame 210 and the base 100 respectively. The damping element 230 has a frictional force that prevents the frame 210 from rotating relative to the base 100. When the frame 210 rotates, the frictional force of the damping element 230 allows the frame 210 to rotate slowly, preventing excessive rotational speed from damaging the display.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the frame 210 has a damping hole 212, and the damping element 230 includes a damping rod 231. One end of the damping rod 231 is connected to the base 100, and the damping rod 231 passes through the damping hole 212. When the frame 210 rotates, the damping rod 231 rotates relative to the damping hole 212. When the damping rod 231 and the inner wall of the damping hole 212 rotate relative to each other, the damping rod 231 will apply a frictional force to the inner wall of the damping hole 212, thereby hindering the rotation of the frame 210.

[0036] In some embodiments, the base 100 is detachably connected to the chair back to facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the support frame.

[0037] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 300 includes a female connector 310 and a plug 320. The female connector 310 is mounted on the base 100 or the backrest, and the plug 320 is mounted on the frame 210. When the locking assembly 300 is in a first state, the plug 320 is inserted into the female connector 310. When the locking assembly 300 is in a second state, the plug 320 is disengaged from the female connector 310. When the plug 320 is inserted into the female connector 310, the frame 210 can be fixed in a first position. When the plug 320 is disengaged from the female connector 310, the frame 210 can be disengaged from a second position.

[0038] In addition, this utility model also provides an aircraft seat, which includes the above-mentioned PED bracket.

[0039] To better understand this utility model, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 4 The technical solution of this utility model is described in detail below:

[0040] First, the display screen is fixed to the frame 210. When the passenger needs to use the display screen, the locking component 300 can be adjusted to the second state. Under the push of the torsion spring 221, the frame 210 rotates away from the seat back to the second position. When the frame 210 rotates, the friction of the damping component 230 allows the frame 210 to rotate slowly, preventing the frame 210 from rotating too fast and damaging the display screen. After the frame 210 reaches the second position, the angle of the display screen is suitable for the passenger's viewing. When the passenger does not need to use the display screen, the frame 210 can be rotated to the first position, and the locking component 300 can be adjusted to the first state, so that the frame 210 is against the seat back, thereby reducing the space occupied by the frame 210 and the display screen.

[0041] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
