[0002] With social development, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of people's lives, and people are using mobile phones more and more frequently, leading to the emergence of mobile phone stands. To improve the sturdiness of mobile phone stands, connectors are usually set on the base of the stand for external platforms. However, mobile phone stands are used in a variety of scenarios, and the outer surface of external platforms is not necessarily a flat plane. Existing technologies have the problem that the connectors of the stands cannot adapt to various types of external platforms. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a bracket connector that can better bond various types of external platforms.

[0004] This utility model also proposes an adhesive assembly and a bracket having the above-mentioned bracket connector.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, the bracket connector is flexible, the bracket connector has a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other, the second surface is used to connect to an external platform, and the first surface has a first groove.

[0006] The bracket connector according to the embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: a flexible bracket connector, by opening a first groove on the bracket connector, reduces the amount of material of the bracket connector, so that the amount of material that needs to move and deform when the bracket connector as a whole is subjected to force deformation is reduced, thereby reducing the resistance to deformation, making the bracket connector easier to bend, twist and other deformations, exhibiting better flexibility, so that when it is connected to uneven surfaces such as a curved center console in a car, the bracket connector can bend and deform, so that the bracket connector can be well bonded to the external platform, that is, it can adapt to various types of external platforms.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first groove includes a plurality of first strip grooves, the first strip grooves extending along the width direction of the bracket connector, and the plurality of first strip grooves being spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket connector.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-section of the first strip groove is semi-circular, and / or, the two ends of the first strip groove penetrate the two side surfaces of the bracket connector along the width direction.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first groove further includes a plurality of second strip grooves, the second strip grooves extending along the length direction of the bracket connector, the plurality of second strip grooves being spaced apart along the width direction of the bracket connector, and the first strip grooves intersecting with the second strip grooves.

[0010] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the material of the bracket connector is nylon or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer.

[0011] The adhesive assembly according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a base, an adhesive portion, and a bracket connector as described in any one of the first aspect embodiments. The bracket connector is connected to the base, and a portion of the bracket connector extends outward relative to the base along its length. A first surface faces the base, and a first groove is formed on the portion of the first surface extending outward relative to the base. The adhesive portion is connected to a second surface, and the side of the adhesive portion opposite to the bracket connector is used for bonding an external platform.

[0012] The adhesive component according to the embodiments of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: In the prior art, the adhesive part used to bond the external platform is usually made of a sticky and relatively soft material. Therefore, it is first attached to a base with relatively high hardness, and the bottom of the base is made relatively large to obtain a larger and more stable bonding area. However, in actual use scenarios, such as when used as a mobile phone holder in a car, the center console in the car is often not a flat surface, but a curved surface with a certain curvature. At this time, the adhesive part attached to the base cannot fit well on the center console, and the edges will warp. The adhesive assembly of this utility model embodiment adds a flexible bracket connector. The bracket connector is connected to the base on one hand and can support the adhesive part on the other hand. By opening a first groove on the bracket connector, the amount of material of the bracket connector is reduced. This reduces the amount of material that needs to move and deform when the bracket connector is subjected to force and deformation, thereby reducing the resistance to deformation. This makes the bracket connector easier to bend, twist and other deformations, exhibiting better flexibility. As a result, when the adhesive assembly is bonded to uneven surfaces, such as a curved car interior center console, the bracket connector can bend and deform, so that the bracket connector and the adhesive part attached to the bracket connector can be well bonded to the external platform, that is, it can adapt to various types of external platforms.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adhesive assembly further includes a first magnetic attractant and a second magnetic attractant. The bracket connector has a second groove on the side opposite to the base. The first magnetic attractant is disposed in the base, and the second magnetic attractant is disposed in the second groove. The first magnetic attractant and the second magnetic attractant attract each other so that the bracket connector is connected to the base.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adhesive assembly includes an adapter, the adapter being rigid, the bracket connector being connected to the base via the adapter, and the adapter being detachably mounted on the base.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adapter has multiple through holes along the vertical direction, and the bracket connector includes a body part and multiple column parts. The column parts extend relative to the body part along the thickness direction, and each column part is correspondingly inserted into one of the through holes.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adapter is made of plastic, and a plurality of spaced third grooves are provided inside the adapter.

[0017] The bracket according to a third aspect embodiment of the present invention includes an adhesive component as described in any one of the second aspect embodiments, as well as a fixing part and an adjusting member. The adhesive component is connected to the fixing part through the adjusting member, and the adhesive component is used to adhesively bond an external platform.

[0018] The bracket according to the present utility model embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: In the prior art, the adhesive part used to bond the external platform is usually a sticky and relatively soft material. Therefore, it is first attached to a base with relatively high hardness, and the bottom of the base is made relatively large to obtain a larger and more stable bonding area. However, in actual use scenarios, such as when used as a mobile phone holder in a car, the center console in the car is often not a flat surface, but a curved surface with a certain curvature. At this time, the adhesive part attached to the base cannot fit well on the center console, and the edges will warp. The adhesive assembly of this utility model adds a flexible bracket connector. The bracket connector is connected to the base on one hand and can support the adhesive part on the other hand. By creating a first groove on the bracket connector, the amount of material of the bracket connector is reduced. This reduces the amount of material that needs to move and deform when the bracket connector is subjected to stress, thereby reducing the resistance to deformation. This makes the bracket connector easier to bend, twist, and other deformations, exhibiting better flexibility. As a result, when the adhesive assembly is used to bond to uneven surfaces, such as a curved car dashboard, the bracket connector can bend and deform, allowing the bracket connector and the adhesive part attached to it to be well bonded to the external platform. The bracket using this adhesive assembly can better adapt to uneven and curved external platforms.

[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. The use of "first" and "second" in the description is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 3 According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the bracket connector 202 is flexible. The bracket connector 202 has a first surface 206 and a second surface 301 disposed opposite to each other. The second surface 301 is used to connect to an external platform. The first surface 206 has a first groove 205. The flexible bracket connector 202, with the first groove 205, reduces the amount of material in the bracket connector 202. This reduces the amount of material that needs to move and deform when the bracket connector 202 is subjected to force, thereby reducing the resistance to deformation. This makes the bracket connector 202 easier to bend, twist, and deform, exhibiting better flexibility. Therefore, when connecting to uneven surfaces such as a curved car dashboard, the bracket connector 202 can bend and deform, allowing it to adhere well to the external platform, thus adapting to various types of external platforms.

[0033] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first groove 205 includes a plurality of first strip grooves 401. The first strip grooves 401 extend along the width direction of the bracket connector 202, and the plurality of first strip grooves 401 are spaced apart along the length direction of the bracket connector 202. The presence of the first strip grooves 401 provides additional deformation space for the bracket connector 202 when bent. When the bracket connector 202 bends upward, the material on both sides of the first strip groove 401 can be bent and squeezed into the groove, making it easier for the bracket connector 202 to achieve a larger bending angle. In addition, the first strip grooves 401 can also disperse stress concentration to prevent the bracket connector 202 from breaking and extend its service life.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-section of the first strip groove 401 is semi-circular, and / or, both ends of the first strip groove 401 penetrate the two side surfaces of the bracket connector 202 along the width direction. The semi-circular cross-section of the groove allows for a more even distribution of stress around the groove when subjected to bending force. Compared to square or other irregular cross-sections, the semi-circular shape has no sharp corners, avoiding excessive stress concentration at corners and improving the service life of the base adhesive during bending. The through-hole design is because, without it, stress concentration points would form inside the base adhesive at the ends of the first strip groove 401. When the base adhesive is bent, these stress concentration points would bear significant local stress, easily leading to cracks or damage in these locations, hindering the smooth bending of the base adhesive. However, when both ends of the first strip groove 401 penetrate the outer surface, stress can be released through the through-hole, avoiding excessive local stress accumulation and making the base adhesive bend more smoothly.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the first groove 205 further includes a plurality of second strip grooves 404. The second strip grooves 404 extend along the length direction of the bracket connector 202, and the plurality of second strip grooves 404 are spaced apart along the width direction of the bracket connector 202. The first strip groove 401 intersects with the second strip grooves 404. The interlaced first strip grooves 401 and second strip grooves 404 allow the base adhesive to have good flexibility in multiple directions. A strip groove in a single direction can only adapt well to bending in a specific direction, while the interlaced design allows the object to easily deform in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Furthermore, the intersecting design facilitates stress dispersion, preventing fatigue and breakage caused by fixing it in a certain groove.

[0036] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this utility model, the first groove 205 is not limited to the structural form of the first strip groove 401 and the second strip groove 404, but can also be a spiral groove, an arc groove, etc., and the cross section is not limited to a semi-circle, but can also be an elliptical arc, etc.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bracket connector 202 is made of nylon or thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. Nylon has high tensile strength and flexural modulus, can withstand large external forces, and can be molded by various processing methods, making it easy to process and with a long service life. Preferably, in some embodiments, the nylon material used for the bracket connector 202 is nylon 66, which has better flexibility and is easier to bend when used as the bracket connector 202. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) has excellent high elasticity and can quickly recover its original shape within a large deformation range. Therefore, it can be repeatedly bent when used as a base adhesive, and it also has high tensile strength and tear strength, as well as good toughness, which can withstand large external impacts without breaking. TPU also has good weather resistance and can maintain stable performance under different climatic conditions. Even when used in the center console of a car exposed to sunlight, it is not easy for the material to deteriorate, resulting in a longer service life.

[0038] refer to Figures 1 to 3According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive assembly 103 includes a base 201, a bracket connector 202 as described in any of the first aspect embodiments, and an adhesive portion 203. The bracket connector 202 is connected to the base 201. Along its length, a portion of the bracket connector 202 extends outward relative to the base 201, with a first surface 206 facing the base 201. A first groove 205 is formed on the portion of the first surface 206 extending outward relative to the base 201. The adhesive portion 203 is connected to a second surface 301, and the side of the adhesive portion 203 facing away from the bracket connector 202 is used to adhesively bond an external platform. In the prior art, the adhesive part 203 used to bond the external platform is usually made of a sticky and relatively soft material. Therefore, it is first attached to a base 201 with relatively high hardness, and the bottom of the base 201 is made relatively large to obtain a larger and more stable bonding area. However, in actual use cases, such as when used as a mobile phone holder 100 in a car, the center console in the car is often not a flat surface, but a curved surface with a certain curvature. At this time, the adhesive part 203 attached to the base 201 cannot fit well on the center console, and the edges will warp. The adhesive assembly 103 of this utility model embodiment adds a flexible bracket connector 202. The bracket connector 202 is connected to the base 201 on one hand and can support the adhesive part 203 on the other hand. By forming a first groove 205 on the bracket connector 202, the amount of material of the bracket connector 202 is reduced. This reduces the amount of material that needs to move and deform when the bracket connector 202 is subjected to force and deformation, thereby reducing the resistance to deformation. This makes it easier for the bracket connector 202 to bend, twist and other deformations, exhibiting better flexibility. As a result, when the adhesive assembly 103 is used to bond uneven surfaces, such as a curved center console in a car, the bracket connector 202 can bend and deform, so that the bracket connector 202 and the adhesive part 203 attached to the bracket connector 202 can be well bonded to the external platform, that is, it can adapt to various types of external platforms.

[0039] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments of this utility model, the adhesive assembly 103 further includes a first magnetic member 402 and a second magnetic member 403. A second groove 501 is formed on the side of the bracket connector 202 facing away from the base 201. The first magnetic member 402 is disposed within the base 201, and the second magnetic member 403 is disposed within the second groove 501. The first magnetic member 402 and the second magnetic member 403 attract each other, thereby connecting the bracket connector 202 to the base 201. The magnetic attraction structure of the first magnetic member 402 and the second magnetic member 403 connects the bracket connector 202 to the base 201, resulting in a simpler structure. Furthermore, since both the first magnetic member 402 and the second magnetic member 403 are disposed within their respective components, they offer higher aesthetic appeal. Disassembly of the magnetic connection is also relatively convenient. The design of the second groove 501 allows the distance between the first magnetic member 402 and the second magnetic member 403 to be closer, thus achieving a better connection. It should be noted that... Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the exploded view shown, the base 201 is actually a hollow shell structure, and the first magnetic suction member 402 is disposed within the cavity of the shell. Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, it can also be as follows... Figure 4 Figure 5 As shown, a protrusion is provided on the bracket connector 202 to snap the bracket connector 202 into the base 201, thereby further improving the structural rigidity.

[0040] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this utility model, the adhesive part 203 uses a base adhesive material such as process adhesive or structural adhesive, or it can use a recyclable, ready-to-use solid adhesive.

[0041] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the adhesive assembly 103 includes an adapter 204, which is rigid. The bracket connector 202 is connected to the base 201 through the adapter 204, and the adapter 204 is detachably installed on the base 201. The combination of the rigid adapter 204 and the flexible bracket connector 202 satisfies the overall rigidity requirements while also allowing for good compatibility with external platforms, such as the center console of a vehicle. This ensures reliable adhesion and fixation of the base 201, resulting in a better user experience. Furthermore, compared to the softer bracket connector 202, the adapter 204 can be more easily shaped to facilitate connection with the base 201.

[0042] refer to Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, the adapter 204 has multiple through holes 207 in the vertical direction, and the bracket connector 202 includes a main body and multiple column parts 208. The column parts 208 extend relative to the main body in the thickness direction, and each column part 208 is correspondingly inserted into a through hole 207. This makes the connection between the bracket connector 202 and the adapter 204 more secure. After the column parts 208 are inserted into the through holes 207, when the bracket connector 202 moves relative to the adapter 204, the inner peripheral wall of the through hole 207 can effectively restrict the radial movement of the column parts 208, thereby preventing them from loosening.

[0043] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the outer periphery of the adapter 204 is further provided with a plurality of protrusions 209, and the bracket connector 202 is provided with a plurality of fourth grooves 210. The two cooperate with each other to increase the contact area and improve the connection stability. Further, refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, a mounting hole with a sandwich layer is provided at the center of the bracket connector 202, a part of the adapter 204 is snapped into the mounting hole, and the column part 208 is disposed between the sandwich layers, so that the connecting parts of the adapter 204 and the bracket connector 202 are nested together, making the connection stable and not easy to loosen.

[0044] refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the adapter 204 is made of plastic, and multiple spaced third grooves 302 are provided within the adapter 204. Injection molding offers high processing efficiency and strong product consistency, enabling mass production and high efficiency. The multiple third grooves 302 within the adapter 204 are designed to mitigate shrinkage during processing. Grooving reduces the overall material volume, meaning less heat needs to be released during cooling, thus reducing thermal shrinkage. Furthermore, the presence of the third grooves 302 increases the contact area and airflow space between the product and the mold, facilitating faster and more uniform heat dissipation, reducing shrinkage differences caused by uneven cooling.

[0045] refer to Figure 1According to the third aspect embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 100 includes an adhesive component 103 as described in any of the second aspect embodiments, a fixing part 101, and an adjusting member 102. The adhesive component 103 is connected to the fixing part 101 via the adjusting member 102, and the adhesive component 103 is used to adhesively bond an external platform. In the prior art, the adhesive part 203 used to bond an external platform is usually made of a sticky and relatively soft material. Therefore, it is first attached to a base 201 with relatively high hardness, and the bottom of the base 201 is made relatively large to obtain a larger and more stable bonding area. However, in actual use scenarios, such as when used as a mobile phone holder 100 in a car, the center console of the car is often not a flat surface, but a curved surface with a certain curvature. In this case, the adhesive part 203 attached to the base 201 cannot fit well on the center console, and the edges will warp. The adhesive assembly 103 of this utility model embodiment adds a flexible bracket connector 202. The bracket connector 202 is connected to the base 201 on one hand and can support the adhesive part 203 on the other hand. By forming a first groove 205 on the bracket connector 202, the amount of material of the bracket connector 202 is reduced. This reduces the amount of material that needs to move and deform when the bracket connector 202 is subjected to force and deformation, thereby reducing the resistance to deformation. This makes it easier for the bracket connector 202 to bend, twist, and deform, exhibiting better flexibility. As a result, when the adhesive assembly 103 is used to bond uneven surfaces, such as a curved car interior center console, the bracket connector 202 can bend and deform, allowing the bracket connector 202 and the adhesive part 203 attached to the bracket connector 202 to be well bonded to the external platform. The bracket 100 using the adhesive assembly 103 can better adapt to uneven, curved external platforms.

[0046] Specifically, the fixing part 101 is not limited to installing mobile phones, but can also be used to place portable electronic devices such as tablets and wireless headphones. The bracket 100 can be used as a car mount 100 or in daily life scenarios. The adjusting part 102 can also adjust the angle and position of the fixing part 101 relative to the base 201 so that the user can use it better.

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
