Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle accessories technology, and more specifically, to a bracket for an automotive air conditioning vent. Background Technology

[0002] Car air vent brackets are in-vehicle accessories mainly used to fix mobile phones and other devices at the air vents inside the car, making it convenient for drivers to perform navigation, answer calls, and other operations while driving. They come in various types and features to meet the needs of different users.

[0003] Currently, there are two common car air conditioning vent brackets: clamping and hooking. Both methods involve installation via blades at the car air conditioning vent. The clamping method is unstable and can easily detach from the blades if accidentally touched. While the hooking method can prevent the blades from detaching, the connection relies on a single blade for stress, making it particularly easy to damage the blades of the car air conditioning vent. Therefore, this utility model proposes a car air conditioning vent bracket. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a car air conditioning vent bracket. This aims to solve the problem that existing car air conditioning vent brackets commonly use two connection methods: clamping and hooking. Both methods involve installation via blades at the car air conditioning vent. The clamping method is unstable and easily detaches from the blades when accidentally touched. While the hooking method can prevent the blades from detaching, the connection relies on a single blade for stress, making it particularly prone to damaging the blades of the car air conditioning vent.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] An automotive air conditioning vent bracket includes a mechanical gripper and a fixing tube. The mechanical gripper is movably hinged to one end of the fixing tube. A rod is slidably inserted into the fixing tube. A tension spring is installed inside the fixing tube, and the tension spring corresponds to the rod. A jaw is fixedly connected to the opposite ends of the fixing tube and the rod. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the two jaws, and the two fixing rods are located on the side of the fixing tube and the rod away from the mechanical gripper. A sleeve is slidably inserted into the adjacent ends of the two fixing rods. A positioning spring is installed inside the two sleeves, and the two positioning springs correspond to the two fixing rods respectively. A limit hook is fixedly connected between the adjacent ends of the two sleeves, and the limit hook is located in the middle between the two jaws.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a universal ball joint is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed tube near the mechanical gripper, and a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to one end of the mechanical gripper near the fixed tube, and the connecting sleeve is detachably connected to the universal ball joint.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a magnetic block is fixedly connected to the mechanical clamping hand, and the magnetic block is designed to be circular.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, one end of the insertion rod located inside the fixed tube is fixedly connected to a first limiting edge, and the two fixed rods are both fixedly connected to a second limiting edge at their adjacent ends, with the two second limiting edges located inside the two sleeves respectively.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting protrusion is fixedly connected to the ends of the two grippers that are far apart.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the two limiting protrusions has a pressing groove at one end and the two grippers has anti-slip texture at one end.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] (1) In this solution, under the action of the tension spring, the claws at both ends of the fixing tube and the insertion rod can press against the upper and lower inner walls of the car air conditioning vent, so that the bracket can be stably supported at the car air conditioning vent. At the same time, under the action of the two positioning springs, the two fixing rods and the two sleeves keep the limiting hook in the middle of the two claws. The limiting hook can hook the blade in the middle of the car air conditioning vent and restrict the bracket from being pulled out, so that the bracket can be further stabilized. The bracket is inserted into the car air conditioning vent by pressing and can be fixed in two ways at the car air conditioning vent after being released. The two connection methods will not damage the car air conditioning vent and can maintain the stability of the connection with the car air conditioning vent, which has high practicality.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4A car air conditioning vent bracket includes a mechanical clamp 1 and a fixing tube 2. The mechanical clamp 1 is movably hinged to one end of the fixing tube 2. A rod 3 is slidably inserted into the fixing tube 2. A tension spring 4 is provided inside the fixing tube 2, and the tension spring 4 corresponds to the rod 3. A jaw 5 is fixedly connected to the ends of the fixing tube 2 and the rod 3 that are far apart. A fixing rod 6 is fixedly connected to the ends of the two jaws 5 that are close together. The two fixing rods 6 are located on the side of the fixing tube 2 and the rod 3 that is far away from the mechanical clamp 1. A sleeve 7 is slidably inserted into the ends of the two fixing rods 6 that are close together. A positioning spring 8 is provided inside the two sleeves 7, and the two positioning springs 8 correspond to the two fixing rods 6 respectively. A limit hook 9 is fixedly connected between the ends of the two sleeves 7 that are close together, and the limit hook 9 is located in the middle between the two jaws 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, when installing the bracket into the car's air conditioning vent, firstly, press the two clamps 5 to retract the insert rod 3 into the fixing tube 2, squeezing and tightening the spring 4. Simultaneously, the two clamps 5 drive the two fixing rods 6 to move, and the two fixing rods 6 slide within the two sleeves 7, squeezing the two positioning springs 8. Under the elastic force of the two positioning springs 8, the limiting hook 9 between the two sleeves 7 remains in the middle position of the two clamps 5. Then, insert the two clamps 5 into the car's air conditioning vent. The upper clamp 5 contacts the top wall of the air conditioning vent, and the lower clamp 5 corresponds to the bottom wall of the air conditioning vent. The limiting hook 9 in the middle passes through the upper side of the middle blade of the air conditioning vent. Finally, release the fixing tube 2 and the insert rod 3. The elastic force of the spring 4 causes the insert rod 3 to extend outward within the fixing tube 2. The two clamps 5 are far apart from the end of the plug rod 3. The two clamps 5 respectively press against the upper and lower inner walls of the car air conditioning vent. The two fixing rods 6 slide in the two sleeves 7 as the two clamps 5 move. The two sleeves 7 are kept in the middle between the two clamps 5 by the two positioning springs 8. As the two clamps 5 come into contact with the inner wall of the car air conditioning vent, the middle part of the two clamps 5 corresponds to the middle blade of the car air conditioning vent. The limit hook 9 will move down to hook the middle blade of the car air conditioning vent, realizing the connection at the car air conditioning vent. The two clamps 5 are tightened and fixed at the car air conditioning vent, and the limit hook 9 is hooked and fixed at the car air vent, so that the mechanical clamp 1 connected to the fixing tube 2 is stable at the car air conditioning vent. The driver can place the mobile phone stably by using the mechanical clamp 1.

[0029] Specifically, a universal ball joint 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed tube 2 near the mechanical gripper 1, and a connecting sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the mechanical gripper 1 near the fixed tube 2, and the connecting sleeve 11 is detachably connected to the universal ball joint 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mechanical gripper 1 is connected to the universal ball joint 10 of the fixed tube 2 via the connecting sleeve 11. The connecting sleeve 11 and the universal ball joint 10 make the mechanical gripper 1 and the fixed tube 2 have a multi-angle movable hinge, which makes it convenient for the mechanical gripper 1 to adjust the placement angle of the mobile phone, making it more convenient for the driver to use.

[0031] Specifically, a magnetic block 12 is fixedly connected to the mechanical gripper 1, and the magnetic block 12 is designed to be circular.

[0032] In this embodiment, the magnetic block 12 is used to magnetically attract the mobile phone, further improving the stability of the mobile phone placed in the mechanical clamp 1.

[0033] Specifically, the first limiting edge 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the insertion rod 3 inside the fixed tube 2, and the second limiting edge 14 is fixedly connected to the close ends of the two fixed rods 6, and the two second limiting edges 14 are respectively located inside the two sleeves 7.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first limiting edge 13 restricts the sliding of the insertion rod 3 inside the fixed tube 2 to prevent the insertion rod 3 from detaching from the fixed tube 2, and the two second limiting edges 14 respectively restrict the two fixed rods 6 to prevent the two fixed rods 6 from sliding out of the two sleeves 7.

[0035] Specifically, each of the two grippers 5 has a limiting protrusion 51 fixedly connected to one of its far ends.

[0036] In this embodiment, the two limiting protrusions 51 are used to limit the depth of the two grippers 5 inserted into the car air conditioning vent, so that the two grippers 5 can be kept in a suitable insertion position.

[0037] Specifically, each of the two limiting protrusions 51 has a pressing groove 15 at one end and the two grippers 5 has anti-slip texture 16 at one end.

[0038] In this embodiment, the two pressing grooves 15 on the two limiting protrusions 51 facilitate pressing the fixing tube 2 and the insertion rod 3, so as to adjust the bracket in the car air conditioning vent. The two anti-slip textures 16 are used to increase the friction between the two claws 5 and the car air conditioning vent, making the bracket more stable in the car air conditioning vent.

[0039] Working principle: When installing the bracket into the car's air conditioning vent, first press the two clamps 5, causing the insert rod 3 to retract into the fixing tube 2 and compress the supporting spring 4. Simultaneously, the two clamps 5 drive the two fixing rods 6 to move, and the two fixing rods 6 slide within the two sleeves 7, compressing the two positioning springs 8. Under the elastic force of the two positioning springs 8, the limiting hook 9 between the two sleeves 7 remains in the middle position of the two clamps 5. Then, insert the two clamps 5 into the car's air conditioning vent. The upper clamp 5 contacts the top wall of the air conditioning vent, and the lower clamp 5 corresponds to the bottom wall of the air conditioning vent. The limiting hook 9 in the middle passes through the upper side of the middle blade of the air conditioning vent. Finally, release the fixing tube 2 and the insert rod 3. The elastic force of the supporting spring 4 causes the insert rod 3 to extend outward within the fixing tube 2. The ends of the fixing tube 2 and the insert rod 3 with clamps 5 move away from each other, and the two clamps 5 respectively press against the upper and lower inner walls of the car's air conditioning vent. The middle part of each clamp 5 corresponds to the middle blade of the car's air conditioning vent. The limiting hook 9 moves downward to hook the middle blade of the car's air conditioning vent. The two clamps 5 are tightly supported at the car's air conditioning vent. The limiting hook 9 hooks the blade of the car's air conditioning vent, thereby stabilizing the mechanical clamp 1 connected to the fixing tube 2 at the car's air conditioning vent. The driver can stably place the mobile phone through the mechanical clamp 1. When the bracket needs to be removed, by pressing the two clamps 5, the lower clamp 5 moves upward, causing the fixing tube 2 to slide on the surface of the insert 3. The lower clamp 5 is no longer in contact with the bottom wall of the car's air conditioning vent. At the same time, the two clamps 5 move closer together, causing the middle position to move upward. The limiting hook 9, which is centered by the two sleeves 7, also moves upward. The limiting hook 9 disengages upward from the middle blade of the car's air conditioning vent, releasing the hook from the blade of the car's air conditioning vent, so that the entire bracket can be pulled out from the car's air conditioning vent and removed, completing the dismantling.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model based on the technical solution and its improved concept should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
