Description

Mounting brackets and monitor stands Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bracket technology, and in particular to a mounting bracket and a monitor bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, a monitor can be fixed to a desktop or tabletop using a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes an L-shaped support, a connector, and a locking screw. The connector is connected to the support via a screw and a connecting hole. The locking screw is screwed onto the connector, and there is a gap between the free end of the locking screw and the top of the support for accommodating the desktop or tabletop. However, in these technologies, the mounting bracket needs to be installed under the desktop or tabletop, and the locking screw needs to be turned to more firmly clamp the free end of the screw onto the desktop or tabletop. This process is inconvenient because the locking screw and connector are threaded, often requiring dozens of turns to tighten, making installation laborious and difficult. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mounting bracket and a monitor bracket that make installation more convenient.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] Mounting bracket, which includes:

[0006] A connecting seat, wherein the connecting seat is provided with a connecting part that connects to the support arm;

[0007] A clamping member is connected to a screw that passes through the connecting seat. The clamping member can move closer to or away from the connecting seat under the action of the screw to clamp or release an external fixing object between the clamping member and the connecting seat.

[0008] A locking member is disposed on the connecting seat. The locking member has a first state of being disengaged from the screw and a second state of being threaded into the screw. When the locking member is in the first state, the screw can slide relative to the connecting seat. When the locking member is in the second state, the locking member is threaded into the screw. When the screw is subjected to an upward force, the locking member can switch from the second state to the first state; when the force is removed, the locking member can switch from the first state to the second state.

[0009] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket further includes a first elastic element that causes the screw to maintain an upward trend.

[0010] In some embodiments, the end of the screw away from the clamping member is provided with a first limiting portion, the connecting seat is provided with a limiting step, and the first elastic member is sleeved on the screw and abuts against the first limiting portion and the limiting step.

[0011] In some embodiments, the screw is provided with a second limiting portion, the clamping member is provided with a through hole, and the screw passes through the through hole and connects to the second limiting portion, so that the clamping member is limited to the second limiting portion.

[0012] In some embodiments, the locking member is adapted to the connecting seat; when the locking member rotates relative to the connecting seat, the locking member can switch between the first state and the second state; the end of the locking member near the screw is provided with a thread that matches the screw.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connector is provided with a second elastic element, which tends to keep the locking element in the second state.

[0014] In some embodiments, the locking member is provided with a plug hole, the connecting seat is provided with a limiting post, one end of the second elastic member is sleeved on the limiting post, and the other end of the second elastic member is inserted into the plug hole.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket further includes a drive member movably disposed on the connector, the drive member being capable of driving the locking member to switch between a first state and a second state, and when the locking member is in the first state, the drive member causes the locking member to tend to remain in the first state.

[0016] In some embodiments, the driving member is sleeved on the connecting seat and is rotatable relative to the connecting seat. The driving member is provided with an avoidance opening, and the connecting seat is provided with a placement notch. The locking member rotates within the placement notch, and the placement notch is provided with a blocking portion. The placement notch is located on the rotation path of the avoidance opening, and the locking member is provided with a top abutment. When the driving member rotates, the top abutment can move in and out of the avoidance opening. When the top abutment is located in the avoidance opening, it abuts against the blocking portion, and the locking member is in the second state. When the top abutment moves out of the avoidance opening and abuts against the driving member, the locking member is in the first state.

[0017] A monitor stand is also provided, comprising:

[0018] As described above, the mounting bracket, support arm, and head structure are provided, with one end of the support arm connected to the mounting bracket and the other end connected to the head structure.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] In use, the locking member is in the first state, and then the screw is pressed down, causing it to move downward and widen the gap between the clamping member and the connecting seat. The clamping member can then be positioned below the external fixture, and the connecting seat above it. The locking member can then be switched to the second state, allowing the screw to be pre-locked. If an upward force is applied to the screw at this point, the locking member switches from the second state back to the first state, causing the screw to rise linearly along the movable hole, thus completing the pre-clamping with the clamping member. After the force is released, the locking member switches back to the second state. Rotating the screw again, while maintaining the threaded engagement with the locking member, further strengthens the locking and completes the clamping installation. The aforementioned mounting bracket allows operation of the screw from above the external fixture, increasing the operating space and maximizing ease of operation. Furthermore, this device reduces the number of screw rotations during locking, making installation more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, 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. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, this application provides an installation bracket, which includes a connecting seat 1, a clamping member 2, and a locking member 4. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a connecting part that connects to a support arm. The clamping member 2 is connected to a screw 3, which passes through the connecting seat 1. The clamping member 2 can move closer to or away from the connecting seat 1 under the action of the screw 3, so as to clamp or release an external fixing object between the clamping member 2 and the connecting seat 1. The locking member 4 is provided on the connecting seat 1. The locking member 4 has a first state of being disengaged from the screw 3 and a second state of being threadedly engaged with the screw 3. When the locking member 4 is in the first state, the screw 3 can slide relative to the connecting seat 1. When the locking member 4 is in the second state, the locking member 4 is threadedly engaged with the screw 3. When the screw 3 is subjected to an upward force, the locking member 4 can switch from the second state to the first state. When the force is lost, the locking member 4 can switch from the first state to the second state.

[0032] In use, the locking member 4 is positioned in the first state, and then the screw 3 is pressed down, causing it to move downward and widen the gap between the clamping member 2 and the connecting seat 1. The clamping member 2 can then be placed on the lower side of the external fixing object, and the connecting seat 1 on the upper side of the external fixing object. The locking member 4 can then be switched to the second state, allowing the screw 3 to be pre-locked. If an upward linear external force is applied to the screw 3 at this time, the locking member 4 switches from the second state to the first state, allowing the screw 3 to be lifted in a unidirectional linear motion. This upward movement of the screw 3 allows it to be pre-clamped with the clamping member 2. After the linear external force is removed, the locking member 4 switches back from the first state to the second state. At this time, the screw 3 is rotated again, and while in the threaded engagement state with the locking member 4, the screw 3 continues to move upward, further strengthening the locking and completing the clamping installation. The aforementioned mounting bracket allows the screw 3 to be operated from the upper side of the external fixing object, thereby increasing the operating space and maximizing the convenience of operation. On the other hand, this device can also reduce the number of rotations of the screw 3 during locking, making installation more convenient.

[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the connecting seat 1 has a receiving groove 17, and the clamping member 2 includes a connecting plate and a first plate 22 and a second plate 23 disposed at opposite ends of the connecting plate 24. The first plate 22 can enter and exit the receiving groove 17, and the size of the second plate 23 is larger than the size of the first plate 22 and larger than the opening size of the receiving groove 17. The screw 3 is connected to the first plate 22 and clamps or releases an external fixing object together with the connecting seat 1 through the second plate 23. The external fixing object can be, but is not limited to, a desktop or tabletop. The connecting seat 1 also has a movable hole 11 extending along the height direction, through which the screw 3 passes, so that the screw 3 can move up and down along the movable hole 11.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, to facilitate the connection between the screw 3 and the first plate 22, the first plate 22 is provided with a through hole 21, and the screw 3 is provided with a second limiting part 32. The screw 3 passes through the through hole 21, which allows the clamping member 2 to be limited on the second limiting part 32. When the screw 3 is lifted, the clamping member 2 can be lifted synchronously through the second limiting part 32; and when the screw 3 is lowered, the clamping member 2 can fall under the action of gravity and continue to be limited on the second limiting part 32. Exemplarily, the second limiting part 32 can be, but is not limited to, a bolt screwed onto the screw 3, which facilitates the disassembly of the screw 3.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket further includes a first elastic element 5, which is disposed in the movable hole 11. The first elastic element 5 keeps the screw 3 in an upward trend. That is, regardless of whether the locking member 4 is in the first state or the second state, under the action of the first elastic element 5, the clamping member 2 can keep in an upward trend towards the connecting seat 1, thereby enabling the clamping member 2 to clamp the external fixing object with the connecting seat 1.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the first elastic element 5 can be, but is not limited to, a compression spring. A first limiting part 31 is provided at the end of the screw 3 away from the clamping member 2. A limiting step 12 is provided in the connecting seat 1 within the movable hole 11. The compression spring is sleeved on the screw 3, with one end abutting against the first limiting part 31 and the other end abutting against the limiting step 12. When force is applied to the screw 3, causing it to move downwards, the first limiting part 31 will compress the first elastic element 5, allowing the first elastic element 5 to accumulate potential energy. After the clamping member 2 and the connecting seat 1 clamp the external fixed object, the screw 3 can still rise in the second state due to the locking member 4. When the screw 3 is released, it will rise under the action of the first elastic element 5, driving the clamping member 2 to rise, thereby completing the pre-clamping action.

[0037] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the locking member 4 is connected to the connecting seat 1 and rotates relative to the connecting seat 1, so that the locking member 4 can switch between a first state and a second state when it rotates. Specifically, the connecting seat 1 is provided with a placement notch 13, which connects to the movable hole 11. The mounting bracket also includes a rotating shaft 9 that passes through the connecting seat 1 and passes through the placement notch 13. The locking member 4 rotates on the rotating shaft 9. The end of the locking member 4 located in the placement notch 13 and close to the screw 3 is provided with a thread that engages with the screw 3. So when the locking member 4 rotates on the rotating shaft 9 into the movable hole 11, the end of the locking member 4 close to the screw 3 can engage with the screw 3, and the locking member 4 is in the second state at this time. When the locking member 4 rotates on the rotating shaft 9 outward from the movable hole 11, the end of the locking member close to the screw 3 can move away from the screw 3, and the locking member 4 is in the first state at this time.

[0038] As shown in Figure 1, in some embodiments, a second elastic element 6 is provided on the connecting seat 1. The second elastic element 6 can keep the locking member 4 in the second state. Specifically, the second elastic element 6 can be, but is not limited to, a compression spring. The locking member 4 is provided with a insertion hole 41, which extends along the height direction. The connecting seat 1 is provided with a limiting post 8 extending along the height direction. One end of the second elastic element 6 is sleeved on the limiting post 8, and the second end of the second elastic element 6 is inserted into the insertion hole 41. When the locking member 4 rotates from the second state to the first state, the second elastic element 6 is deformed by force and accumulates potential energy. Subsequently, without the control of other components, the locking member 4 can rotate back to the second state under the action of the potential energy of the second elastic element 6. In other words, when the locking member 4 engages with the screw 3, when the screw 3 is lifted by force, the screw 3 applies force to the locking member 4, causing the locking member 4 to transition from the second state to the first state. When it stops lifting and is not controlled by any other component, the locking member 4 resets from the first state to the second state, and the locking member 4 re-locks with the screw 3, thereby achieving unidirectional upward movement of the screw 3. In the current embodiment, the limiting post 8 can be a screw or bolt, and the connecting seat 1 is provided with a screw hole, into which the screw or bolt is screwed.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket further includes a driving member 7, which is movably mounted on the connecting seat 1. The driving member 7 can drive the locking member 4 to switch between a first state and a second state. When the locking member 4 is in the first state, the driving member 7 can keep the locking member 4 in the first state. Thus, in this state, the screw 3 can drive the clamping member 2 to descend. Specifically, the driving member 7 is sleeved on the connecting seat 1 and can rotate relative to the connecting seat 1. The driving member 7 is provided with an avoidance opening 71, and the placement notch 13 is located on the rotation path of the avoidance opening 71. The locking member 4 is provided with a top abutment 42. When the driving member 7 rotates, the avoidance opening 71 is aligned with the placement notch 13, or the avoidance opening 71 is misaligned with the placement notch 13, so that the top abutment 42 can enter and exit the avoidance opening 71 during the rotation of the locking member 4. When the avoidance opening 71 is aligned with the placement notch 13, the top abutment 42 enters and exits the avoidance opening 71. When the notch 13 and the top 42 are positioned in the avoidance opening 71, the locking member 4 engages with the screw 3, and the locking member 4 is in the second state. However, when the driving member 7 rotates, the avoidance opening 71 and the notch 13 are misaligned, and the top 42 moves out of the avoidance opening 71. The top 42 then abuts against the outer wall of the driving member 7. At this time, the top 42 is pushed outward away from the screw 3, causing the locking member 4 to rotate away from the screw 3, disengaging the locking member 4 from the screw 3, and the locking member 4 is in the first state. Because the top 42 is misaligned with the avoidance opening 71, the top 42 cannot enter the avoidance opening 71. Thus, the driving member 7 can keep the locking member 4 in the first state until the driving member 7 is rotated, causing the top 42 to re-enter the avoidance opening 71.

[0040] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the mounting notch 13 is provided with a blocking part 14. When the avoidance opening 71 is directly opposite the mounting notch 13, that is, when the top 42 is located in the avoidance opening 71, the top 42 abuts against the blocking part 14 located in the mounting notch 13, thereby preventing the excessive rotation of the locking member 4 as much as possible and reducing the risk of the top 42 contacting the screw 3.

[0041] To facilitate the rotation of the drive component 7 and reduce its movement during rotation, in some embodiments, the connecting seat 1 includes a first seat portion 15 and a second seat portion 16. The bottom of the second seat portion 16 is provided with the aforementioned receiving groove 17, and the top of the second seat portion 16 is provided with a plug-in tube 161, which communicates with the receiving groove 17. The first seat portion 15 is cylindrical and is fixedly inserted into the plug-in tube 161. The inner cavity of the plug-in tube 161 and the inner cavity of the first seat portion 15 form a complete movable hole 11. Exemplarily, the outer wall of the first seat portion 15 and the interior of the plug-in tube 161 have matching threads, thereby securing them together by screwing. The driving component 7 includes a ring body 72 and a limiting ring 73. The limiting ring 73 is disposed at one end of the ring body 72, and an avoidance opening 71 is disposed on the ring body 72. The ring body 72 is sleeved on the insertion cylinder 161, so that the limiting ring 73 abuts against the end face of the insertion cylinder 161. A pressure ring 151 is disposed on the outer wall of the first seat 15. When the first seat 15 is fixed to the second seat 16, the pressure ring 151 limits the limiting ring 73 to the end face of the insertion cylinder 161, thereby minimizing the movement of the driving component 7. Furthermore, the first seat 15 and the second seat 16 are detachably connected, facilitating the disassembly of the driving component 7. In the current embodiment, the first seat 15 can also be used as a connection part with the external support arm 10. It should also be noted that, based on the above-mentioned position of the driving component 7, a limiting step 12 is disposed on the first seat 15, and a placement notch 13 is disposed on the second seat 16.

[0042] Based on the above structure, when using the above mounting bracket, first rotate the drive member 7 to disengage the top 42 of the locking member 4 from the avoidance opening 71, disengaging the locking member 4 from the screw 3, thus placing the locking member 4 in the first state. Press down the screw 3 to compress the first elastic member 5. After placing an external fixing object between the clamping member 2 and the connecting seat 1, release the screw 3. The first elastic member 5 will drive the screw 3 and the clamping member 2 to move upward. Then rotate the drive member 7 to re-enter the top 42 into the avoidance opening 71, re-engaging the locking member 4 with the screw 3, thus placing the locking member 4 in the second state. Then rotate the screw 3, continuing to move the screw 3 upward while still engaged with the locking member 4, further strengthening the locking and completing the clamping installation.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4, this application also provides a monitor stand, which includes the aforementioned mounting bracket, head structure 20, and support arm 10. One end of the support arm 10 is connected to the mounting bracket and to the first seat 15 of the connecting base 1. The head structure 20 is connected to the other end of the support arm 10 and is used to connect display components such as a monitor. The specific structures of the support arm 10 and the head structure 20 will not be described in detail. The monitor stand uses the aforementioned mounting bracket, making installation more convenient.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
