[0025] 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a bracket for an air conditioner vent, including a ball joint connector 1, a hook 2, and a telescopic adjustment assembly 3 for adjusting the extension and retraction of the hook 2. The telescopic adjustment assembly 3 includes a knob cylinder 31, a worm gear 32 coaxially built into the knob cylinder 31, and a worm wheel sleeve 33 meshing with the worm gear 32. The ball joint connector 1 is located at the first end of the knob cylinder 31 and is connected to a fixing clamp with a spherical groove for clamping and fixing a mobile phone or other electronic device. The first end of the hook 2 is connected to the worm wheel sleeve 33, and the second end of the hook 2 extends axially along the worm gear 32 to the outside of the second end of the knob cylinder 31. The worm gear 32 is fixedly connected to the knob cylinder 31, and the knob cylinder 31 drives the worm gear 32 to rotate so that the worm wheel sleeve 33 drives the hook 2 to extend or retract.

[0029] The knob cylinder 31 has a first end cap 4 at its first end and a second end cap 5 at its second end. The knob cylinder 31 can rotate relative to the first end cap 4 and the second end cap 5. The ball joint 1 is located on the outer side of the first end cap 4. The hook 2 is provided to move through the second end cap 5.

[0030] The inner side of the second end cap 5 has an inner cavity groove 51, and the second end of the knob cylinder 31 is movably embedded in the inner cavity 51. Several damping grooves are spaced apart on the outer circumference of the second end of the knob cylinder 31. A damping assembly 6 is provided between the outer wall of the second end of the knob cylinder 31 and the inner wall of the inner cavity groove 51. The damping assembly 6 includes a damping spring 61 arranged axially perpendicular to the worm gear 32, and damping steel balls 62 disposed between the damping spring 61 and the outer wall of the second end of the knob cylinder 31. By providing damping grooves, when the knob cylinder 31 is rotated, the damping steel balls 62 slide into adjacent damping grooves one by one. Under the combined action of the damping spring 61 and the damping steel balls 62, the knob cylinder 31 emits a "clicking" damping sound during rotation, producing a certain damping effect, thus preventing the knob cylinder 31 from becoming too loose or rotating too quickly during rotation.

[0031] In addition, the telescopic adjustment assembly 3 also includes a worm shaft 7 connected to the inner side of the first end cover 4, and a guide plate 8 on each of the two opposite outer sides of the worm gear sleeve 33; the worm 32 is movably sleeved on the outside of the worm shaft 7; one end of the guide plate 8 is connected to the second end cover 5. By setting the worm shaft 7 and the guide plate 8, the accuracy of the worm gear sleeve 33 driving the hook 2 to extend and retract is improved.

[0032] The second end of the hook 2 extends towards the ball joint 1 to form a hook portion. Further, the hook 2 includes a connecting rod at its first end and a hook portion at its second end. The connecting rod is axially arranged along the worm gear 32 and hooks into the grille of the air conditioning vent via its hook portion. After the hook 2 retracts, the outer surface of the second end cover 5 is close to the air conditioning vent, thereby securely attaching the bracket to the air conditioning vent.

[0033] When the knob cylinder 31 drives the internal worm gear 32 to rotate, the rotation of the worm gear 32 causes the worm wheel sleeve 33 to move along the axial direction of the worm gear 32, thereby causing the hook 2 to extend or retract. In one specific embodiment, the user rotates the knob cylinder 31 counterclockwise, causing the knob cylinder 31 to drive the internal worm gear 32 to rotate counterclockwise simultaneously, causing the hook 2 to extend outward to its maximum stroke. The hook of the hook 2 is then hooked into the grille of the air conditioner vent. Then, the knob cylinder 31 is rotated clockwise, causing the knob cylinder 31 to drive the internal worm gear 32 to rotate clockwise simultaneously, causing the hook 2 to retract. Rotating it to a suitable position allows the bracket to be firmly fixed to the grille of the air conditioner vent.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of this utility model.
