[0095] To make the technical means, inventive features, objectives, and effects of this utility model readily understandable, the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific illustrations. However, this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below.
[0096] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification are only used to complement the content disclosed in the specification for those skilled in the art to understand and read, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which this utility model can be implemented. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportional relationships, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that this utility model can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model.
[0097] Most existing mobile terminal holders have relatively simple functions, only serving to fix the mobile terminal. The technical solution of this utility model expands the functionality of such holders to meet the user's needs in more scenarios.
[0098] For some functions of mobile devices, an internet connection is required for them to function effectively. This means that users need either a Wi-Fi environment or to use their device's data plan to access the internet. Existing mobile device stands cannot solve this problem. Furthermore, some functions of mobile terminals require a long battery life to meet user needs. For example, long-distance navigation requires sufficient battery life, which is sometimes insufficient on the device's own power. Existing mobile device stands also cannot address this issue. Therefore, existing mobile device stands cannot fully meet user needs.
[0099] Based on the relevant issues, this technical solution provides a mobile terminal bracket, which includes a bracket main body module, a communication network module, a human-computer interaction module, a main control module, and a power supply module;
[0100] The main support module includes a housing assembly 1 and a mobile terminal fixing assembly, wherein the mobile terminal fixing assembly is connected to the housing assembly 1;
[0101] The communication network module is used to transmit mobile hotspot signals, and the communication network module is connected to the main control module;
[0102] The human-computer interaction module is connected to the main control module, and the human-computer interaction module is used to display the network status information and power status information of the mobile terminal bracket;
[0103] The power module can be used to charge the fixed mobile terminal, and the power module is connected to the communication network module, the human-computer interaction module and the main control module respectively.
[0104] The communication network module, human-computer interaction module, main control module, and power supply module are all located in the housing assembly 1. Specifically, the communication network module, human-computer interaction module, main control module, and power supply module can all be located in the cavity inside the housing assembly 1. The operation components and display components in the human-computer interaction module can extend to the outside of the housing assembly 1 through the opening in the housing assembly 1 so that the user can operate and observe. The design of the human-computer interaction module can ensure visualization.
[0105] The mobile terminal bracket in this embodiment not only has a communication network module that can emit mobile hotspot signals and a power supply module that can provide power, but also a human-computer interaction module that can display the operating status of the mobile terminal bracket (i.e., network status information and power status information), thereby achieving the effect of providing network and power to the mobile terminal and allowing the user to observe the operating status of the mobile terminal bracket. This multi-functional mobile terminal holder is better adapted to various usage environments. It can be used as a car mount or a selfie stand for outdoor use, meeting users' outdoor network needs and improving device battery life. Simultaneously, users can monitor the status of the mobile terminal holder in real time through the human-computer interaction module, allowing them to understand whether the holder can still provide power and mobile hotspot signal (i.e., Wi-Fi) for their mobile devices. This prevents losses caused by users continuing to use related functions without realizing device malfunctions. For example, if the data in the communication network module is exhausted or the holder's network sharing function is not enabled, but the user continues to use the mobile terminal's network function, they are using the mobile terminal's roaming function instead of the network provided by the holder, leading to excessive network usage and damage. The human-computer interaction module provides timely reminders when the holder's data usage is low or in other situations, facilitating timely data top-ups and enabling mobile hotspot signal sharing, thus avoiding unnecessary losses.
[0106] In one embodiment, the network status information includes the real-time network mode information, real-time network signal strength information, network account password information, data allowance information, and recharge channel information of the mobile terminal bracket, so that users can recharge their data in a timely manner and avoid the problem of being unable to access the Internet due to unpaid bills. The account password information can be provided in the form of a QR code, which users can scan to connect to the hotspot. The recharge channel information can also be presented in the form of a QR code, which users can scan to access the data recharge platform to recharge their data.
[0107] This application only involves hardware improvements. The specific display methods for power supply status, network status, and other display content can be implemented using existing software control schemes. This application does not describe the specific control logic.
[0108] In this embodiment, the communication network module includes:
[0109] The physical card communication management unit includes a physical card management component and a SIM card slot, wherein the SIM card slot is connected to the physical card management component;
[0110] Virtual card communication management unit, including virtual card management components;
[0111] The communication link management unit includes a communication link management component and a mobile hotspot signal transmission component. The communication link management component is connected to the physical card management component, the virtual card management component, and the main control module, respectively. The mobile hotspot signal transmission component is connected to the communication link management component.
[0112] The communication link management component is used to select, based on real-time status (such as the region), whether to use the physical card communication management unit or the virtual card communication management unit to provide network access for the mobile terminal bracket, and to use the mobile hotspot signal transmission component to convert the relevant network into a mobile hotspot signal for sharing.
[0113] In addition to using a built-in physical SIM card to provide network access, this mobile terminal holder can also use a virtual card communication management unit to download a corresponding cloud card (i.e., a VSIM card) for use. This allows the holder to switch between different SIM cards to provide network services based on different network environments, thus providing users with better network sharing services (i.e., WiFi).
[0114] In this embodiment, the physical card communication management unit, virtual card communication management unit, and communication link management unit can all be constructed using existing hardware structures. For example, the communication network module can be a component consisting of a CAT4 4G communication module integrating VSIM and physical SIM dual-mode switching technology connected to a WiFi module. The physical card communication management unit is also connected to the SIM card slot, enabling the mobile terminal bracket to support internet access via both VSIM and physical SIM cards. When both SIM cards are active simultaneously or only one SIM card is active, the system can switch between different SIM cards. For specific operational details, please refer to the operational modes of existing physical SIM card operating devices and cloud card operating devices; further elaboration of these solutions is not provided here.
[0115] The housing assembly 1 has an antenna clearance area, and the antenna in the communication network module is located in the antenna clearance area. The antennas mainly include the antenna in the physical card management component, the antenna involved in the virtual card management component, and the antenna included in the mobile hotspot signal transmission component.
[0116] This structural design allows the mobile terminal holder to provide mobile hotspot signals not only via a built-in physical SIM card but also via a virtual SIM card (VSIM). This enables the mobile terminal holder to provide mobile hotspot signals even when moving between regions, avoiding roaming charges and effectively meeting the needs of users in different areas. The SIM card slot can be used to secure the SIM card.
[0117] Meanwhile, the housing assembly 1 has an antenna clearance area, which effectively prevents other internal electrical components from interfering with the communication signal.
[0118] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal fixing component includes:
[0119] The first clamping mechanism 21 includes a first clamping plate 211 and a first rack portion 212, wherein the first clamping plate 211 is connected to the first rack portion 212;
[0120] The second clamping mechanism 22 includes a second clamping plate 221 and a second rack portion 222, wherein the second clamping plate 221 and the second rack portion 222 are connected.
[0121] The drive mechanism includes an electric motor 24 and a drive gear 25. The output shaft of the electric motor 24 is connected to the drive gear 25. The electric motor 24 is also connected to the main control module and the power module.
[0122] A pressure sensing mechanism is used to detect the pressure between the first clamping mechanism 21 and the second clamping mechanism 22. The pressure sensing mechanism is also connected to the main control module.
[0123] The first clamping mechanism 21 and the second clamping mechanism 22 are arranged opposite to each other. The drive gear 25 is connected to the first rack portion 212 and the second rack portion 222, which are arranged in parallel. The drive gear 25 is driven to rotate forward and backward by the electric motor 24, so as to drive the relative movement between the first rack portion 212 and the second rack portion 222, thereby driving the opening and closing between the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 221.
[0124] In specific implementation, the pressure sensing component in the pressure sensing mechanism can be set on the side of the first clamping plate 211 and / or the second clamping plate 221 facing the mobile terminal to perform pressure detection operation. The pressure sensing mechanism is connected to the main control module so that when the pressure detected by the pressure sensing mechanism reaches a predetermined value, the electric motor 24 is driven to stop running in time to provide a suitable clamping force and avoid damage to the mobile device.
[0125] In this embodiment, to improve stability during fixation, a support structure 23 is provided near the bottom of the housing assembly 1 to further provide support.
[0126] In this embodiment, the power module includes a first power unit, a second power unit, a wireless charging unit 56, a power management unit, and a foreign object detection unit;
[0127] The power management unit is connected to the first power unit, the second power unit, and the main control module, respectively.
[0128] The first power supply unit is connected to the communication network module, the human-computer interaction module, the main control module, the electric motor 24 and the wireless charging unit 56 respectively;
[0129] The second power supply unit is connected to the first power supply unit, the power management unit, and the electric motor 24, respectively;
[0130] In this embodiment, the wireless charging unit 56 is designed to charge some mobile devices with wireless charging capabilities. Simultaneously, the first power supply unit in this embodiment serves as the main power supply component, providing power to the various electrical components in the mobile terminal bracket and also providing power to the wireless charging unit 56.
[0131] In this embodiment, the second power supply unit is mainly used as a backup power supply. This structural design allows the power management unit to drive the second power supply unit to supply power to the electric motor 24 when the first power supply unit fails, so that the mobile terminal can still be removed from the bracket when the first power supply unit of the bracket is abnormal.
[0132] In some embodiments, the first power unit may be powered by an external power source. In other embodiments, the first power unit may also include an energy storage element (such as a battery) so that it can provide power even when not connected to an external power source.
[0133] The second power supply unit includes a supercapacitor 8. When the first power supply unit is operating normally, the first power supply unit can be used to power the supercapacitor 8. When the first power supply unit fails, the power management unit can drive the second power supply unit to power the electric motor 24.
[0134] Since the mobile terminal bracket provides network and power to the mobile device during application, it can reduce the problem of severe heat generation or rapid power consumption caused by the mobile terminal connecting to the network, and improve the standby time of the mobile device.
[0135] A foreign object detection unit is connected to the power management unit. This unit detects whether a metallic foreign object exists between the wireless charging unit 56 and the external receiver. The detection result (whether a foreign object is present or not) is sent to the power management unit. Foreign object detection (FOD) is a component of wireless charging technology used to detect the presence of a metallic object between the charger and the receiver. This application uses existing foreign object detection components to construct the foreign object detection unit, thereby determining whether a foreign object exists between the wireless charging unit 56 and the corresponding mobile terminal. This prevents charging abnormalities or device damage caused by foreign objects and effectively improves safety.
[0136] In this embodiment, a Type-C interface is used as the input terminal of the first power unit, which can be connected to an external power source via a connecting cable. Traditional Type-A interfaces typically output 5-10W, while Type-C interfaces can support up to 100W for high-power fast charging. Therefore, in some applications, dual Type-C cables can be used to connect the external power source and the mobile terminal stand. In this technical solution, considering scenarios where insufficient power supply might affect wireless charging and network stability when using the stand, the hardware design supports the QC fast charging protocol. Simultaneously, the software optimizes the product's functional processing flow in this scenario, prioritizing the power required for basic network connectivity and automatically reducing or disabling wireless charging power to ensure that basic network connectivity power takes precedence over wireless charging power, guaranteeing uninterrupted network connection.
[0137] In practical implementation, while ensuring the product's exquisite appearance and supporting the wireless charging coil, communication module, motherboard, electric motor 24, supercapacitor 8, and other components built into the mobile terminal bracket, it is also necessary to meet the requirements of wireless charging for mainstream mobile phones on the market. The position of the wireless charging coil must be fixed in the entire bracket. Therefore, sufficient clearance for the antenna must be reserved in the structural design. Matching small-sized materials are selected for the supercapacitor 8, and an independent antenna bracket is designed. The microstrip line length and the position of the antenna IPEX socket are adjusted on the bracket PCB board to ensure the antenna's transmission power and receiving sensitivity performance. Among them, the IPEX socket is a very small connector, which is usually used to connect the signal line between the radio frequency antenna and the circuit board.
[0138] In specific implementation, the human-computer interaction module includes:
[0139] A motor drive unit is connected to the main control module. Specifically, the motor drive unit includes an infrared sensing unit 52 and a motor control button unit. The infrared sensing unit 52 is connected to the main control module and is used to detect whether an object is placed between the mobile terminal fixing components. When an object is placed between the mobile terminal fixing components, the infrared sensing unit 52 sends a signal to the main control module to drive the electric motor 24 to run, causing the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 221 to move closer together. The motor control button unit is connected to the main control module. The motor drive unit is used to drive the electric motor 24 to start, stop, rotate forward, and rotate in reverse.
[0140] The display unit 41 is connected to the main control module, and the display unit 41 is used to display at least one of the network status information and the power module status information;
[0141] The screen control unit is connected to the main control module and is used to switch the interface displayed by the display screen unit 41.
[0142] A power-on indicator unit, connected to the power module, is used to indicate the connection status of the mobile terminal bracket to an external power source. In a specific implementation, the power-on indicator unit can be composed of LED light-emitting elements, which can be used to display whether the main module of the bracket is connected to an external power source.
[0143] In specific implementation, the motor control button unit can be composed of the first button 42, and the screen control unit can be composed of the second button 43.
[0144] An initialization drive unit, connected to the main control module, can be used to respond to initialization control commands and perform initialization operations on the mobile terminal bracket. In specific implementations, the second button 43 can function as a single button with multiplexing capabilities, simultaneously constituting the initialization drive unit. For example, it can be configured such that when a button is short-pressed, it functions as a screen control unit to switch the images displayed on the screen 411; while when a button is long-pressed, it functions as an initialization drive module to issue initialization control commands to the main control module. In this embodiment, the second button 43 is used to constitute the relevant buttons. A short press refers to a press duration shorter than a preset duration, while a long press refers to a press duration longer than a preset duration.
[0145] In this embodiment, the infrared sensing unit 52, when the user brings the mobile terminal close to the main support module, sends a control signal to the electric motor 24, causing the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 221 to adjust from a separated state to a close state (or from a close state to a separated state and then close state) to clamp the mobile terminal. The motor control button unit allows the user to operate it to control the opening or closing of the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 221. The infrared sensing unit 52 improves the convenience of placing the mobile terminal, while the motor control button unit improves operational reliability. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor control button unit can be executed using two separate control buttons or a single button. In this embodiment, the first button 42 constitutes the motor control button unit for user operation.
[0146] In specific implementation, the main support module also includes:
[0147] Support and fixing components, including several different types of support and fixing mechanisms;
[0148] Each of the aforementioned support and fixing mechanisms is selectively connected to the housing assembly 1 via a corresponding docking component.
[0149] The multiple support and fixing mechanisms may include fixing structures of the connecting clip type, desktop support frame type, and handheld rod type, etc., which are suitable for various usage scenarios. Users can choose the corresponding support and fixing mechanism according to their needs for different scenarios. The docking components can be composed of mutually matching docking structures, wherein a docking part of the docking component is provided on the housing component 1, and each support and fixing mechanism is provided with a docking part that matches the docking part in the housing component 1. Through the detachable connection between the docking parts, the housing component 1 can be selectively connected to different support and fixing mechanisms, thereby enabling its use in different scenarios.
[0150] The stand in this embodiment is a mobile terminal stand that integrates "network + charging + interaction" into a unified solution. It allows users to use the stand in more application scenarios, improving the battery life of mobile terminals using the stand. It also provides network access to mobile terminals fixed to the stand and other mobile terminals within a certain range, meeting users' network needs in environments without external networks. Furthermore, the human-computer interaction module displays the stand's status in real time, allowing users to easily monitor its condition. This mobile terminal stand is feature-rich, widely applicable, and easy to use, effectively meeting user needs.
[0151] The following, with reference to Figures 1 to 8, provides a further explanation of the mobile terminal holder as an example of its use as a vehicle-mounted mobile terminal holder:
[0152] As can be seen from Figures 1 to 5, the main support module of the mobile terminal bracket in this embodiment includes a housing assembly 1, a mobile terminal fixing assembly, and a docking part of a docking assembly for docking with the corresponding support fixing mechanism.
[0153] The housing assembly 1 includes a transparent panel 11, a panel adhesive layer 12, a rear shell 13, a support structure fixing frame 14, a support structure fixing cover 15, and a fixing cover adhesive layer 16. The transparent panel 11 may be made of glass and can be connected to the rear shell 13 through the panel adhesive layer 12. The support structure fixing frame 14 is located in the receiving cavity formed between the transparent panel 11 and the rear shell 13. The support structure 23 is located on the support structure fixing frame 14, and the support structure fixing cover 15 covers the area in the support structure fixing frame 14 where the support structure is located. Furthermore, the supporting structure fixing cover 15 is connected to the supporting structure fixing frame 14 through the fixing cover backing layer 16. The back of the rear shell 13 is also provided with a docking component in the docking assembly. In this embodiment, the docking assembly includes a first docking component 31, a second docking component 32, and a washer 33. The washer 33 is located between the first docking component 31 and the second docking component 32. The shell assembly 1 can be detachably connected to the corresponding support fixing mechanism through the docking assembly. The specific shape and structure of the corresponding support fixing mechanism can be designed according to actual needs and are not limited here.
[0154] The supporting structure also has a second pad 262 on the upward side. The second pad 262 is made of flexible material, which plays a role in shock absorption, cushioning and anti-slip.
[0155] The mobile terminal fixing assembly in this embodiment includes a first clamping plate 211, a first rack portion 212, a second clamping plate 221, a second rack portion 222, an electric motor 24, and a drive gear 25. The first clamping plate 211 is fixedly connected to the first rack portion 212, and the second clamping plate 221 is fixedly connected to the second rack portion 222. The first clamping mechanism 21 and the second clamping mechanism 22 together form the clamping arms on both sides. The drive gear 25 is located between the first rack portion 212 and the second rack portion 222, so that the electric motor 24 can drive the drive gear 25 to open and close the clamping arms on both sides. In this embodiment, a first gasket 261 is provided on the opposite side of both the first clamping plate 211 and the second clamping plate 221. The first gasket 261 is made of flexible material, thereby playing a role in shock absorption, cushioning, and anti-slip.
[0156] In this embodiment, a first motherboard 51 and a second motherboard 53 are used to fix the various components. Components including the display unit 41 of the display screen 411, the infrared sensing unit 52, the wireless charging unit 56, the supercapacitor 8, and the electric motor 24 are all located on the first motherboard 51. A display screen foam pad 412 is also provided between the display screen and the first motherboard 51. Components such as the power connector 55 and the SIM card slot 54 (i.e., the slot for installing the physical card in the physical card communication management unit) in the communication network module are located on the second motherboard 53. This solution also includes a motor bracket 17, an antenna bracket 18, and other components to fix the relevant components. The relevant components are also connected and fixed to other components using corresponding self-tapping screws 19. The bracket also includes conductive components 6 and heat-conducting sheets 57 to achieve electrical conductivity and heat dissipation. A dust plug 7 can also be provided to prevent dust from the power connector 55. The power connector 55 can be constructed using a Type-C interface, that is, the power connector 55 constitutes the external power connector of the first power unit. The structure shown in the accompanying drawings is only an example for those skilled in the art to understand the solution, and the actual implementation structure is not limited to this.
[0157] As shown in Figures 6 to 8, the mobile terminal bracket in this embodiment integrates a Cat4 4G communication module supporting VSIM technology, a WiFi module, a display screen, and corresponding operation buttons to form a communication network module and a corresponding human-computer interaction module. The Cat4 communication module supports dual-mode switching technology between VSIM (virtual card) and physical SIM (physical card). The mobile network can support two different ways of accessing the Internet: VSIM and physical SIM card. When both SIM cards are valid at the same time or only one SIM card is valid, the system can switch between different SIM cards.
[0158] This stand supports wireless charging for different mobile phones. When it recognizes a working physical SIM card or VSIM card, it converts the mobile network into a WiFi hotspot in a timely manner. This meets the needs of multiple users and multiple terminal devices to connect to the WiFi network for video, office work, and gaming in some scenarios.
[0159] The stand has a built-in interactive display screen. The display module feeds back the network status information it acquires to the screen in real time, allowing users to check the communication status promptly. Users can also switch the display page via the stand's buttons to quickly scan a code to connect to WiFi or top up their data.
[0160] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the bracket in this application integrates components such as a wireless charging coil, communication module and motherboard, electric motor 24, and supercapacitor 8, while ensuring the product's exquisite appearance and supporting wireless charging for mainstream mobile phones. The wireless charging coil must be fixed in position within the bracket. Therefore, sufficient clearance for the antenna must be reserved in the structural design. The supercapacitor 8 is made of a matching small-sized material, and an independent antenna bracket 18 is designed. The bracket PCB board is adjusted to adjust the microstrip line length and the position of the antenna IPEX socket, etc., to ensure the antenna's transmit power and receive sensitivity performance.
[0161] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal holder incorporates two control modes: infrared sensing and touch switches. These modes drive an electric motor 24 via a transmission mechanism (such as gears) to open and close the two clamping arms (i.e., the first clamping mechanism 21 and the second clamping mechanism 22) to pick up and place the mobile phone. The holder also incorporates a supercapacitor 8 capable of instantaneous energy release. During normal operation, the supercapacitor 8 is charged. When a power outage occurs and the system detects it, the holder switches its power supply path, and the supercapacitor 8 takes over the power supply to the control module and motor drive circuit, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the clamping arms via the motor.
[0162] The mechanical structure with dual Type-C interfaces used in the bracket not only provides power to the bracket but also allows the communication PCBA main control board to download and upgrade software, and capture logs in a timely manner for problem analysis and localization when network communication is abnormal.
[0163] As shown in Figure 8, this embodiment uses a UIS8310AM chip, an SR3595D chip, an RF module, and a WIFI chip to form a communication network module. This communication network module is also connected to a power management component composed of an SC2720A chip, thereby achieving compatibility with both physical and virtual SIM cards. Based on the real-time network environment, it can select either the physical SIM card communication management unit or the virtual SIM card communication management unit to provide network access and mobile hotspot signals to the mobile terminal bracket.
[0164] As shown in Figure 7, the communication network module in this application mainly consists of a communication PCBA control board, a 4G module, a WiFi module, and a SIM card slot 54; the specific characteristics of each component are as follows:
[0165] (1) Communication PCBA motherboard
[0166] The PCBA motherboard is a circuit board on which the VSIM Cat4 module, SIM card slot 54, WiFi module, Type-C connector, etc. can be soldered. After receiving power from the PCBA motherboard, the module establishes communication with other modules through the lines on the PCBA motherboard, acting as an intermediate bridge to convert the module's mobile network into a WiFi local area network, realizing data transmission and interaction, and meeting users' needs to access the network via wireless WiFi.
[0167] Functions: Physically integrates and solders key components such as the VSIM 4G Cat4 module, SIM card slot 54, WiFi module, and Type-C interface; receives power input from the PCBA motherboard and distributes power to the 4G module and WiFi module; realizes electrical connections between modules (such as the data link between 4G module → WiFi module → display screen) and manages dual-mode switching between VSIM and physical SIM cards through PCB routing; converts mobile network data (4G) into WiFi LAN data packets and sets data routing; provides fault status diagnosis and sends real-time data to the human-machine interface display screen.
[0168] Problem solved: By integrating 4G / WiFi / power management functions through high-density PCB design, the hardware system is miniaturized to solve the problem of dispersed power supply / network communication modules in traditional systems, and to solve the problems of invisible device status and difficult fault maintenance.
[0169] (2) Supports VSIM Cat4 communication module
[0170] As the core module for mobile network communication data processing and transmission, it supports the VSIM technology 4G LTE Cat4 standard, and also supports online switching between physical SIM cards and VSIM, converting cellular network data into Ethernet data frames that can be processed by the WiFi module;
[0171] Problems solved: This addresses the issue that traditional network solutions only support physical SIM cards and result in complete network outages in signal dead zones; it also resolves the problems of poor cross-border network compatibility and the need to change SIM cards and incurring high costs when roaming internationally.
[0172] (3) WiFi module
[0173] The 4G network (via VSIM / physical SIM card) is converted into a WiFi signal to establish a local area network, serving as a data interaction channel between the 4G communication module and terminal devices. This enables protocol conversion between the mobile network (4G) and the local area network (WiFi), supporting concurrent access from multiple terminals (phones / tablets / laptops, etc.) (the maximum number of connections needs to be specified, such as 16).
[0174] Problem solved: The integrated WiFi module independently provides a WiFi hotspot, with the mobile phone only acting as a terminal to access the network, reducing reliance on the mobile hotspot and external vehicle router, and reducing the load on the mobile phone and the additional wiring of the vehicle router;
[0175] (4) SIM card slot 54
[0176] It enables physical and electrical connections between the SIM card and the communication PCBA motherboard, as well as the transmission of key data such as ICCID, IMSI, and authentication key (Ki), and supports the mechanical insertion / removal of the physical SIM card. It also supports system-wide dual-mode switching between VSIM and physical SIM cards.
[0177] Problem solved: By using the highly reliable connection design of SIM card slot 54 and the dual-mode intelligent switching capability, it not only retains the flexibility of physical SIM cards, but also achieves seamless network redundancy through VSIM, thus solving the ultimate pain point of network connectivity in the vehicle scenario—the contradiction between environmental adaptability and continuity.
[0178] As shown in Figure 6, the power module in this embodiment is composed of a wireless charging component, a supercapacitor 8, and a dual Type-C mechanism. The specific features of each component are as follows:
[0179] (1) Wireless charging coil
[0180] The wireless charging unit 56 is formed. When the bracket receives external power and the power supply is normal, it converts electrical energy into an alternating magnetic field and then converts it back into electrical energy to charge the mobile phone. In specific implementation, the wireless charging coil can achieve intelligent power adaptation of multiple levels from 5W to 7.5W to 10W to 15W. During operation, it can dynamically adjust the power according to the mobile phone's battery status and is compatible with Apple, Android and other mobile phones (in specific implementation, other power levels can also be used to provide power according to actual needs, and it is not limited to this example).
[0181] Problem solved: It addresses the low efficiency of traditional car charging and the incompatibility issues of multiple mobile phone brands on the market. It dynamically adjusts the power based on the phone's battery level and the temperature of the charging bracket to ensure product safety and lifespan.
[0182] (2) Supercapacitor 8
[0183] It forms a second power supply unit, namely the backup power supply for the support. The supercapacitor 8 can temporarily store electrical energy and release it instantly when needed to provide short-term power to the mechanical structure of the support (such as the clamping arms on both sides).
[0184] It can serve as a backup power source. The supercapacitor 8 can temporarily store electrical energy and release it instantly when needed, providing short-term power to the mechanical structure of the bracket (such as the clamping arms on both sides), so that it can still complete the opening or closing action and avoid manually forcibly disassembling the phone.
[0185] Problem Solved: Traditional car wireless chargers immediately disconnect power after the vehicle is turned off. If the phone is not removed in time, the holder needs to be manually pried open, which can easily damage the holder or scratch the phone. Supercapacitor 8 solves this mechanical operation problem by providing temporary power. Supercapacitor 8's physical energy storage mechanism (no chemical reaction) makes it more stable in vibration, high temperature or low temperature environments, and safer than traditional batteries (no risk of leakage or explosion).
[0186] (3) Type-C interface of the bracket
[0187] The power input terminal of the first power unit is connected to the car's Type-C interface via a data cable through the bracket's Type-C USB interface. After the car is started, the bracket can be powered on and provide power to the connected functional modules, ensuring the stable operation of the device in the car.
[0188] Problem solved: Improved charging speed, supports plug-and-play peripherals, and upgrades from "single charging" to "in-vehicle intelligent hub".
[0189] (4) Communication PCBA main control board Type-C interface
[0190] This interface is used for logging and debugging when network communication is abnormal. It can quickly capture logs to analyze problems and download and upgrade firmware for the communication motherboard.
[0191] Problem solved: The Type-C interface directly outputs module logs, and network error codes are parsed in real time, eliminating the need for disassembly and maintenance;
[0192] The human-computer interaction module in this embodiment comprises a display screen, an LED indicator, a second button 43, an infrared sensor, and a touch sensor constituting the second button 43. Each component has the following specific characteristics:
[0193] (1) Display screen
[0194] Device status monitoring and real-time status visualization, displaying real-time network communication data such as signal strength, network speed, number of WiFi terminal connections, total data allowance, and used data allowance; serving as an interactive control hub, it allows switching screen display pages via physical buttons, quick WiFi connection, and data recharge QR codes, etc.
[0195] Problem solved: The status of traditional stand devices is not visible, requiring users to switch between multiple interfaces on a mobile app or computer to check network / charging status, and there is no warning when the device exceeds the data limit;
[0196] (2) LED indicator
[0197] After the PCBA motherboard of the bracket is powered on, the LED lights promptly reflect that the bracket is working properly. The bracket indicator lights show the status: a solid red light indicates that the bracket is powered normally, and a solid blue light indicates that wireless charging is normal.
[0198] (3) Buttons
[0199] Multi-mode command input: tap to switch screen pages (network status ↔ charging status ↔ data recharge), long press for 5 seconds to enter firmware upgrade mode (USB debugging port activated), long press for 15 seconds to restore factory settings (clear VSIM configuration / network parameters).
[0200] Problem solved: The stand button, through its composite structure design and multi-level operation logic, solves the problems of needing to connect to a PC to execute AT commands to restore factory settings (which is not feasible for ordinary users), needing to disassemble the device to short-circuit test points for firmware upgrades (which is high-risk), and the problem of single-clicking to cycle through core pages.
[0201] (4) Infrared and touch sensing module (i.e., a module consisting of an infrared sensor and a touch sensor that constitutes the second button 43)
[0202] Infrared transmitters and receivers, along with touch sensors, accurately detect changes in object signals, triggering the control circuit to start the motor. The motor, through a transmission mechanism (such as gears and other transmission components), drives the opening and closing of the clamping arms on both sides to complete the picking and placing of the mobile phone.
[0203] Problem solved: The infrared sensing module achieves a more ergonomic operating experience than physical pressing by using non-contact precise detection, environmentally robust design, and graded energy efficiency control. At the same time, the dual sensing mechanism reduces the risk of accidental pinching.
[0204] The mobile terminal fixing component (also referred to as the terminal fixing component) in this embodiment includes a motor, a clamping arm, and a transmission mechanism, and has the following characteristics:
[0205] The motor drives the opening and closing of the two clamping arms through a transmission mechanism (such as gears) to pick up and put down the phone. In practice, a pressure sensor (range 0-20N) can provide real-time feedback on the clamping force, which, together with a stepper motor, enables dynamic clamping force control for different mobile terminals (such as bare phones and phones with cases). This allows for balanced force and speed control of the opening and closing of the metal clamping arms, increasing the lifespan of the bracket. Through intelligent interactive linkage, wireless charging is automatically activated when the clamping arms are closed, and the aluminum alloy clamping arms integrate heat dissipation to dissipate the heat from wireless charging.
[0206] Solution: The first pad 261, which consists of a silicone anti-slip pad built into the aluminum alloy base, avoids damage to the equipment and prevents the equipment from falling off under vibration. It is also compatible with equipment of multiple sizes and has high safety.
[0207] In other embodiments, other components may be used to construct communication network modules, power supply systems, and other parts, and are not limited to the illustrated examples.
[0208] It should be noted that the control logic involved in the above examples is only to illustrate the operation of the mobile terminal bracket of this utility model in actual use. The control logic itself is not an innovation point claimed by this application. This application can solve the corresponding technical problems through the design of related hardware structures. That is, the support of related control logic is not required when solving related technical problems.
[0209] The mobile terminal holder in this embodiment has the following technical advantages:
[0210] Intelligent network communication: In addition to providing wireless charging for mobile phones, the stand integrates a Cat4 4G communication module supporting VSIM technology, a WiFi module, and an interactive display screen. It can convert the mobile network into a WiFi hotspot in a timely manner when using a physical SIM card or a VSIM card, meeting the needs of multiple users and multiple terminal devices to connect to the WiFi network for video, office work, gaming, and other scenarios. The Cat4 communication module supports dual-mode switching technology between VSIM and physical SIM, providing a stable communication network in a convenient and real-time manner.
[0211] Visual operation of the display screen: The bracket has a built-in interactive display screen. The display module will feed back the network status information it has acquired in real time on the display screen, so that users can check the communication status in a timely manner. Users can also switch the display screen page through the bracket buttons to quickly scan the code to connect to WiFi or recharge their data.
[0212] Multiple power supply systems + dual Type-C interfaces: The bracket has a built-in supercapacitor 8 that can release energy instantly. When the bracket is working normally, it can charge the supercapacitor 8. When the bracket loses power, it can power the motor to drive the two clamping arms to open and close to pick up and put down the phone. The dual Type-C interfaces not only ensure the bracket can receive power normally, but also capture system logs in time to locate and analyze problems and upgrade firmware in the event of network abnormalities.
[0213] Insufficient power supply and high-priority network connection handling solution: The bracket supports the QC fast charging protocol and software optimization to handle insufficient power supply. By automatically adjusting and reducing the wireless charging power or turning off the wireless charging function, it ensures that the basic network connection remains uninterrupted, meeting users' needs for timely network access.
[0214] In addition to being used as a vehicle mount, this mobile terminal holder can also be used in other application scenarios by adapting to different support and fixing mechanisms. Through the above design, this utility model pioneers a three-in-one solution of "charging + network + interaction," realizing an upgrade from a traditional holder to "mobile network and WiFi wireless, intelligent, and visual," meeting the needs of users in the Internet of Things era for high-speed, low-latency, multi-connection intelligent networked WiFi wireless charging holders.
[0215] In the mobile terminal bracket technical solution of this utility model, each functional module and module unit can correspond to a specific hardware circuit in the integrated circuit structure. Therefore, it only involves the improvement of the specific hardware circuit. The hardware part is not merely a carrier for executing control software or computer programs. Therefore, solving the corresponding technical problem and obtaining the corresponding technical effect does not involve the application of any control software or computer programs. In other words, this utility model can solve the technical problem and obtain the corresponding technical effect by simply using the improvements in the hardware circuit structure involved in these modules and units, without the need for specific control software or computer programs to achieve the corresponding function.
