Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable support device, and more particularly to a solution that can adjust the tilt angle. Background Technology

[0002] Various mobile devices are often equipped with support feet at the bottom. Opening the support feet can lift one end of the device, creating a tilted angle for use. Devices like massage foot pads can be adjusted to a comfortable angle using the support feet; similarly, devices like flat panel displays and keyboards can have their tilt angle adjusted to meet the personalized needs of different users. Currently, these devices with support feet only provide a standard support solution, which cannot meet the needs of multi-angle adjustment.

[0003] The object of this invention is to find a more reasonable technical solution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design an adjustable support device that changes the support angle by selecting different angle pads.

[0005] The present invention is implemented as follows: An adjustable support device, characterized in that it includes a supported device and a support foot. The support foot is pivotally positioned in a recessed groove in the bottom shell of the device via a pivot shaft. The recessed groove has a sloping horizontal groove formed at one end where the pivot shaft is located. The width of the sloping horizontal groove is at least three body lengths of the support foot. Two or more angle pads are slidably embedded in the sloping horizontal groove. The angle pads can move along the sloping horizontal groove to a position aligned with the recessed groove, and are placed on the open support foot to constrain the opening angle of the support foot, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the device.

[0006] The bottom surface of the inclined horizontal groove has a sliding groove that penetrates the bottom shell of the equipment. The angle pad has a matching inclined surface with the bottom surface of the inclined horizontal groove and a limiting foot that can be inserted into the sliding groove. The end of the limiting foot that passes through the sliding groove is locked with an anti-detachment pad.

[0007] In addition to having a first inclined surface that matches the bottom surface of the inclined groove and a second inclined surface that coincides with the outer surface of the equipment bottom shell, the angle pad also has a third inclined surface, which provides a surface for the support foot to contact.

[0008] The angle pad has a recessed portion formed on at least two adjacent side edges, and the two sides of the inclined horizontal groove have arc-shaped recesses formed at positions corresponding to the recessed portions on the angle pad.

[0009] The two walls of the settling tank are formed with through shaft holes. A limit post is formed outside one shaft hole, and a limit block is locked outside the other shaft hole by screws to prevent the shaft from retracting.

[0010] The limiting block has a screw hole and a pin. The screw hole is for screws to be locked onto the bottom shell of the equipment, and the pin can be inserted into the slot formed in the bottom shell of the equipment to form an anti-rotation positioning.

[0011] The support feet and pivot joints are coated with damping oil to prevent the support feet from slipping off under their own weight, or the walls of the sinker are formed with anti-slip protrusions that can abut against the sides of the support feet; and finger holes are formed at the end of the support feet away from the pivot or an arc-shaped recess is formed at the end of the sinker.

[0012] This utility model features a unique design, simple structure, and multiple adjustable angles. It overcomes the limitation of existing support angles having only one angle by switching angle pads, which can add at least two more angles, achieving support with more than three adjustable angles. This satisfies the need for multi-angle switching and adjustment, making the equipment adaptable to more usage scenarios. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 45—Third inclined surface; 46—Indentation; Detailed Implementation

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5An adjustable support device includes a supported device 1 and support legs 2. The support legs 2 are pivotally positioned within a recess 12 of the device's bottom shell 11 via a pivot 3. A sloping horizontal groove 13 is formed at one end of the recess 12 where the pivot 3 is located. The width of the sloping horizontal groove 13 is at least three body lengths of the support legs 2. Two or more angle pads 4 are slidably embedded in the sloping horizontal groove 13. The angle pads 4 can move along the sloping horizontal groove 13 to align with the recess 12, resting on the open support legs 2 and constraining their opening angle to adjust the tilt angle of the device 1. In this example, the width of the sloping horizontal groove 13 is three support leg lengths, and two angle pads 4 are configured to provide three angle support levels, making switching between them most convenient. The width of the sloping horizontal groove 13 can be widened according to actual needs to accommodate more angle pads and meet the requirements of more angle adjustments.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the inclined horizontal groove 13 has a sliding groove 14 that penetrates the bottom shell of the equipment. The angle pad 4 has a matching inclined surface with the bottom surface of the inclined horizontal groove 13 and a limiting foot 41 that can be inserted into the sliding groove. The limiting foot 41 passes through the end of the sliding groove 14 and is locked with an anti-detachment pad 42. The angle pad 4 is installed together with the bottom shell 11 of the equipment, and can be moved along the inclined horizontal groove 13 during use.

[0027] In addition to having a first inclined surface 43 that matches the bottom surface of the inclined groove 13 and a second inclined surface 44 that coincides with the outer surface of the equipment bottom shell 11, the angle pad 4 also has a third inclined surface 45. The third inclined surface 45 provides a surface for the support foot 2 to contact. Moreover, the inclination angle of the third inclined surface 45 in each angle pad is set as required. For example, in this example, the inclination angle of the inclined groove 13 is 5 degrees, which is equivalent to the inclination angle of the equipment 1 support being 5 degrees. The third inclined surface 45 of one angle pad is designed to be 10 degrees, and the other is designed to be 15 degrees.

[0028] To facilitate adjustment by finger manipulation, the angle pad 4 has indentations 46 formed on at least two adjacent side edges, and the inclined horizontal groove 13 has arc-shaped indentations 15 formed on both sides corresponding to the indentations 46 on the angle pad 4. For this purpose, the support foot 2 also has a finger hole 21 formed at the end away from the pivot, or an arc-shaped recess 121 formed at the end of the recess 12, to facilitate the removal of the support foot 2. When not in operation, the support foot 2 overlaps with the equipment base 11 and is not located in the recess 12.

[0029] Furthermore, to facilitate the assembly of the rotating shaft 3, the two walls of the recess 12 are formed with through shaft holes 16. A limiting post 17 is formed outside one shaft hole, and a limiting block 31 is locked outside the other shaft hole by screws to prevent the rotating shaft 3 from retracting. During assembly, the rotating shaft 3 is first inserted into the shaft hole 16 until the end abuts against the limiting post 17, and then the limiting block 31 is locked to prevent the rotating shaft from retracting. The limiting block 31 has a screw hole 311 and a pin 312. The screw hole 311 is used for screws to be locked onto the equipment base 11, and the pin 312 can be inserted into the slot formed in the equipment base 11 to form an anti-rotation positioning. This further simplifies the assembly process, requiring only one screw for locking. To prevent the support leg 2 from falling down on its own in the recess 12, damping oil is applied to the joint between the support leg 2 and the rotating shaft 3 to prevent the support leg 2 from falling freely, while also improving the feel of opening and closing the support leg 2.
