Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of installation accessories technology, specifically relating to an adapter and electronic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the installation process of various equipment, the adapter plays a vital role. As the connection medium between electronic devices and the mounting base, it can facilitate the installation of electronic devices on the mounting base.

[0003] Commercially available adapters typically consist of a mounting body and an adapter. The mounting body connects to a mounting base, while the adapter connects to electronic components. The mounting body and adapter are connected to mount the electronic components onto the mounting base. However, the connection between the mounting body and the adapter is often unreliable, leading to poor stability of the electronic components and affecting their stable operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an adapter and electronic device that can solve the problem of poor connection reliability between the adapter and electronic device in the related art.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an adapter for mounting electronic devices, the adapter comprising:

[0006] The mounting body is provided with mounting holes, and the wall of the mounting holes is provided with a first tooth-shaped portion;

[0007] An adapter and a locking member are provided. The adapter is used to connect to the electronic device. At least a portion of the adapter is located in the mounting hole and has a second toothed portion. The locking member is mounted on the mounting body. At least a portion of the locking member can extend into the mounting hole in a direction intersecting the axis of the adapter and can contact or separate from the adapter to lock or unlock the adapter in the axial direction. When the locking member locks the adapter, the second toothed portion engages with the first toothed portion to lock the adapter in the circumferential direction.

[0008] Secondly, this application provides an electronic device, which includes an electronic component and the aforementioned adapter, wherein the electronic component is connected to the adapter of the adapter.

[0009] In related technologies, the adapter includes a mounting body, an adapter component, and a connector. The mounting body is used to connect to a mounting base and has a mounting hole. The adapter component is used to connect to an electronic device, and at least a portion of the adapter component is located within the mounting hole. The connector component is mounted on the mounting body, with one end protruding from the wall of the mounting hole and abutting against the adapter component to lock the adapter component circumferentially and axially, thereby achieving the connection between the adapter component and the mounting body, and subsequently mounting the electronic device onto the mounting base. In this configuration, the adapter component is primarily locked circumferentially by the friction between the connector and the adapter component. This locking method allows the adapter component to easily loosen circumferentially, resulting in poor connection reliability between the mounting body and the adapter component, and consequently, poor stability of the electronic device.

[0010] In this embodiment, the adapter is circumferentially locked by the engagement of the first toothed portion and the second toothed portion, and the adapter is axially locked by the contact between the locking member and the adapter, thereby connecting the adapter to the mounting body and installing the electronic device on the mounting base.

[0011] Compared with the related technologies that rely on the friction between the connector and the adapter to lock the adapter in the circumferential direction, the meshing of the first toothed portion and the second toothed portion in the embodiment of this application can better lock the adapter in the circumferential direction. This reduces the probability of the adapter loosening in its own circumferential direction, thereby making the connection between the mounting body and the adapter more reliable and thus improving the stability of the electronic device.

It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0033] The adapter and electronic device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the embodiment of this application, an adapter is provided for installing electronic devices. Specifically, the adapter includes: a mounting body 100, an adapter 200, and a locking member 300.

[0035] The mounting body 100 is used to connect with the mounting base 700 and is provided with mounting holes 111, and the wall of the mounting holes 111 is provided with a first toothed portion 112.

[0036] The adapter 200 is used to connect to electronic devices. At least a portion of the adapter 200 is located in the mounting hole 111 and is provided with a second toothed portion 211. The locking member 300 is mounted on the mounting body 100. At least a portion of the locking member 300 can extend into the mounting hole 111 in a direction intersecting the axis of the adapter 200 and can contact or separate from the adapter 200 to lock or unlock the adapter 200 in the axial direction. When the locking member 300 locks the adapter 200, the second toothed portion 211 engages with the first toothed portion 112 to lock the adapter 200 in the circumferential direction.

[0037] In related technologies, the adapter includes a mounting body 100, an adapter 200, and a connector. The mounting body 100 is used to connect to the mounting base 700 and is provided with a mounting hole 111. The adapter 200 is used to connect to electronic devices, and at least a portion of the adapter 200 is located within the mounting hole 111. The connector is installed on the mounting body 100, and one end of the connector protrudes from the hole wall of the mounting hole 111 and abuts against the adapter 200 to lock the adapter 200 in the circumferential and axial directions, thereby realizing the connection between the adapter 200 and the mounting body 100, and then mounting the electronic devices on the mounting base 700. In this configuration, the adapter 200 is locked in the circumferential direction by relying mainly on the friction between the connector and the adapter 200. With this locking method, the adapter 200 is prone to loosening in its own circumferential direction, which leads to poor connection reliability between the mounting body 100 and the adapter 200, and consequently, poor stability of the electronic device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the adapter 200 is circumferentially locked by the engagement of the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211, and the adapter 200 is axially locked by the contact between the locking member 300 and the adapter 200, thereby connecting the adapter 200 to the mounting body 100 and installing the electronic device on the mounting base 700.

[0039] Compared with the related technologies that rely on the friction between the connector and the adapter 200 to lock the adapter 200 in the circumferential direction, the meshing of the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 in the embodiment of this application can better lock the adapter 200 in the circumferential direction. This reduces the probability of the adapter 200 loosening in its own circumferential direction, thereby making the connection between the mounting body 100 and the adapter 200 more reliable, and thus improving the stability of the electronic device.

[0040] In another embodiment, reference Figure 8 As shown, the mounting body 100, for example, has a through hole 113, which communicates with the mounting hole 111. The axis of the through hole 113 intersects the axis of the adapter 200. The locking member 300 is located inside the through hole 113 and is threadedly connected to the wall of the through hole 113, so that the locking member 300 can contact or separate from the adapter 200. The threaded connection method has better connection reliability, thereby reducing the probability of the locking member 300 loosening, and thus improving the stability of the adapter 200.

[0041] Specifically, at least a portion of the locking member 300 may extend into the mounting hole 111 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the adapter 200, and correspondingly, the axis of the through hole 113 is perpendicular to the axis of the adapter 200.

[0042] Optionally, one end face of the locking member 300 may contact the outer surface of the adapter 200, for example, utilizing the friction between them to achieve axial locking of the adapter 200. This configuration eliminates the need for additional machining of mating structures on the locking member 300 to achieve axial locking of the adapter 200. Furthermore, in this configuration, the locking member 300 can simultaneously lock the adapter 200 circumferentially. Alternatively, the adapter 200 may be provided with a slot, allowing a portion of the locking member 300 to engage within the slot, thereby locking the adapter 200 both circumferentially and axially.

[0043] Optionally, the locking element 300 may be a screw, more specifically, a set screw. Since the end of the set screw does not have a limiting structure, it does not have a limiting fit relationship with the mounting body 100 in its own axial direction. In actual use, the set screw can be tightened according to the actual situation until the set screw abuts against the adapter 200, thereby locking the adapter 200. Therefore, this setting allows the locking element 300 to lock the adapter 200 more reliably, and it is less likely that the locking element 300 will be limited by the mounting body 100 and unable to lock the adapter 200.

[0044] In other embodiments, the locking member 300 may also be interference-fitted with the through hole 113. In actual operation, under the action of external force, the locking member 300 moves along the axial direction of the through hole 113, thereby causing the locking member 300 to contact or separate from the adapter 200.

[0045] In another embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the mounting body 100 includes a first mounting member 110, a mounting hole 111 provided in the first mounting member 110 and extending through the first mounting member 110 along its own axial direction, a first end of an adapter 200 passing through the mounting hole 111 and extending out, and the adapter 200 being movable between a first position and a second position, so that the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 move closer to or further away from each other. Specifically, the adapter 200 is movable along the axial direction of the through hole 113, thereby moving between the first position and the second position.

[0046] When the adapter 200 is in the first position, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, the orthographic projection of the adapter 200 is located within the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111. That is, when in this position, at least a portion of the adapter 200 can freely enter and exit the mounting hole 111.

[0047] When the adapter 200 is in the second position, the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 engage, and the first end of the adapter 200 is offset relative to the mounting hole 111. In other words, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, a portion of the orthographic projection of the adapter 200 lies within the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111, while the other portion lies outside the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111. In this state, the first end of the adapter 200 and the mounting body 100 are engaged at the upper limit of the axial direction of the adapter 200 to prevent the adapter 200 and the mounting body 100 from separating from each other. Specifically, the axial direction of the adapter 200 is, for example, the vertical direction. By engaging the first end of the adapter 200 with the mounting body 100 at the upper limit of the axial direction of the adapter 200, the descent of the adapter 200 can be restricted, and when the adapter assembly is completed, the adapter 200 is, for example, in the second position.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 mesh, on the one hand, the locking member 300 can lock the adapter 200 axially; on the other hand, the first end of the adapter 200 and the mounting body 100 engage in an upper limit fit along the axial direction of the adapter 200. This further restricts the movement of the adapter 200 along its own axial direction, thus ensuring good stability of the adapter 200. With this configuration, for example, only one locking member 300 is needed to maintain the stability of the adapter 200. This simplifies the structure of the adapter, reduces its cost, and makes assembly and disassembly easier. Of course, the number of locking members 300 can also be two or more, depending on actual needs.

[0049] In other alternative embodiments, when the adapter 200 is in the second position, the orthographic projection of the adapter 200 along the axial direction of the adapter 200 may also be located within the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111.

[0050] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figures 4 to 6As shown, the adapter also includes, for example, an elastic element 400, which is mounted on the mounting body 100 and used to drive the adapter 200 to move to a third position. When the adapter 200 is in the third position, the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 separate, allowing the adapter 200 to rotate about its own axis. The first end of the adapter 200 is offset relative to the mounting hole 111. Similarly, in this state, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, a portion of the orthographic projection of the adapter 200 lies within the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111, while the other portion lies outside the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111. The first end of the adapter 200 is engaged with the mounting body 100 at an axial upper limit to prevent the adapter 200 and the mounting body 100 from separating. When the adapter 200 is in the second and third positions, the offset direction of the first end of the adapter 200 is opposite. Specifically, when the first position is between the second and third positions, the offset direction of the first end of the adapter 200, for example, is the direction from the first position to the second position when the adapter 200 is in the second position; and the offset direction of the first end of the adapter 200, for example, is the direction from the first position to the third position when the adapter 200 is in the third position. More specifically, the direction from the first position to the second position is, for example, the direction from the first position to the second position. Figure 6 The direction indicated by the middle arrow M, from the first position to the third position, is, for example,... Figure 6 The direction indicated by the middle arrow N.

[0051] Specifically, in actual use, under the elastic force of the elastic element 400, the first end of the adapter 200 is offset relative to the mounting hole 111, so that the adapter 200 is attached to the mounting body 100.

[0052] Optionally, the elastic element 400 can drive the adapter 200 to move from the second position to the third position, or it can drive the adapter 200 to move from the first position to the third position.

[0053] With the solution of this embodiment, when the adapter 200 is in the third position, the adapter 200 can rotate around its own axis, so that the installation angle of the adapter 200 can be adjusted more conveniently and smoothly, thus meeting a variety of different assembly requirements.

[0054] Furthermore, during the rotation of the adapter 200 around its own axis, the first end of the adapter 200 can always be engaged with the mounting body 100 at the upper limit of the axial direction of the adapter 200. In this way, during the adjustment of the mounting angle of the adapter 200, the mounting body 100 can restrict the movement of the adapter 200 in its own axial direction, thereby preventing the mounting body 100 from separating from the adapter 200. Thus, when adjusting the angle of the adapter 200, there is basically no need for additional auxiliary fixation of the adapter 200 in its own axial direction, thereby reducing the operational difficulty of the adapter device.

[0055] Furthermore, the elastic element 400 can automatically drive the adapter 200 to the third position, eliminating the need for manual movement and making the adapter more convenient to use. Additionally, the friction between the elastic element 400 and the adapter 200 ensures smooth and stable rotation with a degree of damping, enhancing the user experience.

[0056] Furthermore, the locking member 300 is threaded to the wall of the through hole 113, for example, and the end face of one end of the locking member 300 abuts against the outer surface of the adapter 200, for example, to lock the adapter 200 in the circumferential direction.

[0057] In actual installation, the adapter 200 is initially in the first position. Then, the locking member 300 is rotated, causing one end of the locking member 300 to push the adapter 200 from the first position to the second position, thus completing the overall assembly of the adapter device. Furthermore, if the installation angle of the adapter 200 needs to be adjusted after the overall assembly of the rotating device, the locking member 300 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing it to move in the opposite direction. At this time, driven by the elastic member 400, the adapter 200 moves from the second position to the third position, thus adjusting the angle of the adapter 200. After the adapter 200 is adjusted to the desired angle, the locking member 300 is rotated again, using it to push the adapter 200 back to the second position, completing the entire adjustment process.

[0058] Optionally, refer to Figure 8As shown, the mounting hole 111 has a recess 118 in its wall, and the elastic element 400 is, for example, an elastic block. A portion of the elastic block is located in the recess 118, while another portion protrudes from the mounting hole 111 and contacts the adapter 200. In this configuration, during the process of at least partially inserting the adapter 200 into the mounting hole 111, the adapter 200, for example, presses against the elastic block, causing the elastic block to compress and avoid the adapter 200. The elastic block, for example, has a guide ramp, which engages with the adapter 200 to compress the elastic block. Due to the presence of the guide ramp, a portion of the adapter 200 can smoothly pass over the location of the elastic block.

[0059] Optionally, the elastic element 400 may be made of rubber, for example. Of course, the elastic block may also be made of other materials. Specifically, the elastic element 400 may be made of metal, for example. In this case, during the process of inserting at least a portion of the adapter 200 into the mounting hole 111, the elastic element 400 may deform to avoid the adapter 200.

[0060] In other embodiments, the adapter 200 may move only between a first position and a second position, and the adapter may not include the elastic element 400.

[0061] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 7 As shown, the adapter 200 includes, for example, a cylindrical body 210, and a first mating protrusion 212 and a second mating protrusion 213 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the first end of the cylindrical body 210. At least one of the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 is, for example, a fixing lug. The first end of the adapter 200 includes the first end of the cylindrical body 210, the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213. Both the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 can be offset relative to the mounting hole 111. When the first mating protrusion 212 is offset relative to the mounting hole 111, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, a portion of the orthographic projection of the first mating protrusion 212 is located within the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111, and the other portion of the orthographic projection of the first mating protrusion 212 is located outside the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111. In this state, the first mating protrusion 212 and the mounting body 100 are engaged in an upper limit fit along the axial direction of the adapter 200. When the second mating protrusion 213 is offset relative to the mounting hole 111, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, a portion of the orthographic projection of the second mating protrusion 213 is located within the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111, while the other portion is located outside the orthographic projection of the mounting hole 111. In this state, the second mating protrusion 213 and the mounting body 100 are engaged in an upper limit fit along the axial direction of the adapter 200, and the shapes of the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 are different. In other words, the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 are asymmetrically arranged.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 have different shapes. With this setting, the user can quickly and intuitively identify the correct installation angle of the adapter 200 during the actual assembly process, thereby reducing the difficulty of operating the adapter.

[0063] Alternatively, in the actual processing, for example, the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 are made to have the same shape, and then a notch 2131 is machined on the second mating protrusion 213 to make their shapes different.

[0064] Specifically, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the mounting hole 111 includes, for example, a first hole segment 1111, a second hole segment 1112, and a third hole segment 1113. The first hole segment 1111, the third hole segment 1113, and the second hole segment 1112 are connected in sequence. At least a portion of the cylinder 210 is movably installed in the third hole segment 1113 so that the adapter 200 can be freely switched between the first position, the second position, and the third position mentioned above.

[0065] Among them, reference Figure 4 As shown, when the adapter 200 is in the first position, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, the orthographic projection of the first mating protrusion 212 is located within the orthographic projection of the first hole segment 1111, while the orthographic projection of the second mating protrusion 213 is located within the orthographic projection of the second hole segment 1112, so that the first end of the adapter 200 can pass through the mounting hole 111 and extend out.

[0066] refer to Figure 5 As shown, when the adapter 200 is in the second position, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, a portion of the orthographic projection of the first mating protrusion 212 coincides with a portion of the orthographic projection of the first hole segment 1111, and a portion of the orthographic projection of the second mating protrusion 213 coincides with a portion of the orthographic projection of the second hole segment 1112. That is, the first mating protrusion 212 is offset relative to the first hole segment 1111, and the second mating protrusion 213 is offset relative to the second hole segment 1112. At this time, both the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 are engaged with the mounting body 100 at the upper limit of the axial direction of the adapter 200, thereby making the first end of the adapter 200 engaged with the mounting body 100 at the upper limit of the axial direction of the adapter 200.

[0067] refer to Figure 6As shown, when the adapter 200 is in the third position, along the axial direction of the adapter 200, a portion of the orthographic projection of the first mating protrusion 212 coincides with a portion of the orthographic projection of the first hole segment 1111, and a portion of the orthographic projection of the second mating protrusion 213 coincides with a portion of the orthographic projection of the second hole segment 1112. At this time, the first mating protrusion 212 is also offset relative to the first hole segment 1111, and the second mating protrusion 213 is also offset relative to the second hole segment 1112, so that the first end of the adapter 200 and the mounting body 100 are in upper limit engagement along the axial direction of the adapter 200.

[0068] in addition, Figures 4 to 6 The dashed lines A, for example, all indicate the straight line where the center of the adapter 200 is located, and the dashed lines B, for example, all indicate the straight line where the center of the mounting hole 111 is located. See reference [link / reference needed] for details. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, when the adapter 200 is in the first and third positions, dashed lines A and B are, for example, parallel. That is, when the adapter 200 is in the first and third positions, the center of the mounting hole 111 is, for example, offset relative to the center of the adapter 200. Furthermore, refer to... Figure 5 As shown, when the adapter 200 is in the second position, dashed lines A and B coincide, for example, and at this time, the center of the mounting hole 111 coincides, for example, with the center of the adapter 200.

[0069] Furthermore, the shape of the first hole segment 1111 is adapted to, for example, the shape of the first mating protrusion 212, and the shape of the second hole segment 1112 is adapted to, for example, the shape of the second mating protrusion 213. When the adapter 200 is at the first mounting angle, the adapter 200 is, for example, at... Figure 6 In the illustrated state, a portion of the first mating protrusion 212 mates with a portion of the first hole segment 1111 axially opposite and mating with the adapter 200. Similarly, a portion of the second mating protrusion 213 mates with a portion of the second hole segment 1112 axially opposite and mating with the adapter 200. When the adapter 200 is rotated 180 degrees around its axis from the first mounting angle to the second mounting angle, the portion of the first mating protrusion 212 mates with a portion of the second hole segment 1112 axially opposite and mating with the adapter 200, and simultaneously, a portion of the second mating protrusion 213 mates with a portion of the first hole segment 1111 axially opposite and mating with the adapter 200. Due to the structural asymmetry of the first and second mating protrusions 212 and 213, the first end of the adapter 200 has a larger mating area with the mounting body 100 at the second mounting angle compared to the first mounting angle, resulting in better stability of the adapter 200.

[0070] In other embodiments, the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 may also have the same shape. In this case, the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 may be symmetrically arranged about a first plane, which is the plane on which the axis of the adapter 200 is located.

[0071] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 7 As shown, the second end of the adapter 200 is disposed away from the first end of the adapter 200. The second end of the adapter 200 is located outside the mounting hole 111 and is provided with a mounting protrusion 214. The mounting protrusion 214 is engaged with the mounting body 100 in the axial direction of the adapter 200, and the mounting protrusion 214 is used to connect with electronic devices.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the adapter 200 is in the second and third positions, the mounting protrusion 214 can restrict the adapter 200 from moving in the direction pointed to by the mounting protrusion 214, such as... Figure 9 As indicated by the arrow E, both the first mating protrusion 212 and the second mating protrusion 213 can restrict the movement of the adapter 200 in the direction pointing from the adapter 200 to the mounting protrusion 214. This further improves the stability of the adapter 200 in its own axial direction and reduces the wobbling of the adapter 200 in its own axial direction.

[0073] In addition, in this embodiment, the mounting protrusion 214 is used to connect with electronic devices. The mounting protrusion 214 provides a connection basis for the connection between the adapter 200 and the electronic devices, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the adapter 200 and the electronic devices.

[0074] Optionally, the second end of the cylinder 210 is disposed away from the first end of the cylinder 210. For example, the second end of the cylinder 210 is located outside the mounting hole 111 and is provided with a mounting protrusion 214. The number of mounting protrusions 214 is, for example, at least two, and each mounting protrusion 214 is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the adapter 200. Figure 7 The number of mounting protrusions 214 is specifically two.

[0075] Optionally, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the mounting protrusion 214 is provided with, for example, connecting holes 215. Electronic devices are connected to the mounting protrusion 214 through the connecting holes 215, and the number of connecting holes 215 is, for example, multiple. Electronic devices can selectively connect to some of the connecting holes 215. In this arrangement, multiple connecting holes 215 can meet various different assembly methods, thereby improving the applicability of the adapter. Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, there are no restrictions on the shape, size, or arrangement of the connecting holes 215; they can be designed according to actual needs.

[0076] In another embodiment, reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first toothed portion 112 includes, for example, at least two first teeth 1121 arranged sequentially along the circumference of the mounting hole 111, and the second toothed portion 211 includes at least two second teeth 2111 arranged sequentially along the circumference of the adapter 200. When the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 mesh, different first teeth 1121 mesh with different second teeth 2111 respectively. In this arrangement, the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 mesh at multiple different positions, which results in a larger mating area between the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211, thereby making the fit between the first toothed portion 112 and the second toothed portion 211 more reliable, and thus reducing the probability of the adapter 200 loosening in its own circumferential direction.

[0077] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first toothed portion 112 is provided, for example, around the wall of the mounting hole 111, and the second toothed portion 211 includes, for example, a plurality of toothed segments 2112, each toothed segment 2112 being arranged sequentially along the circumference of the adapter 200. Each toothed segment 2112 includes, for example, at least two second teeth 2111 arranged sequentially along the circumference of the adapter 200. When the adapter 200 is in the second position, each toothed segment 2112 is engaged with the first toothed portion 112, so that different first teeth 1121 are engaged with different second teeth 2111 respectively.

[0078] More specifically, Figure 3 There are two toothed segments 2112. When the adapter 200 is in the second position, the two toothed segments 2112 engage with different positions of the first toothed portion 112, while the locking member 300 abuts against the adapter 200, thus forming a stable triangular force-bearing configuration and ensuring the stability of the adapter 200. It should be noted that... Figure 3 The triangle drawn with a dashed line illustrates the stress pattern of the triangle. Of course, the second toothed part 211 can also be continuously arranged around the adapter 200, depending on the actual needs of the design.

[0079] In other embodiments, the number of at least one of the first tooth 1121 and the second tooth 2111 may also be one.

[0080] In another embodiment, reference Figures 8 to 11As shown, the mounting body 100 includes a first mounting member 110 and a second mounting member 120. The first mounting member 110 is provided with a mounting hole 111, and a locking member 300 is mounted on the first mounting member 110. The second mounting member 120 is disposed opposite to the first mounting member 110 and is detachably connected to the first mounting member 110. The first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120 are used to jointly clamp the mounting base member 700.

[0081] Specifically, the mounting base 700 is, for example, a mounting rod. More specifically, in a vehicle environment, such as a bus or subway, the vehicle body is equipped with a mounting rod, and electronic devices, such as camera devices, are usually mounted on the mounting rod.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120 are detachably connected. This makes it easier to remove the second mounting member 120. When the second mounting member 120 is removed, the mounting base 700 can be easily clamped between the first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120, thereby reducing the connection difficulty between the adapter and the mounting base 700.

[0083] Optionally, the first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120 are connected, for example, by a threaded connection 600.

[0084] In other embodiments, the first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120 may also be an integral structure.

[0085] In one specific implementation, the electronic device is, for example, a vehicle-mounted camera, and the corresponding adapter is, for example, a vehicle-mounted clamp bracket. The mounting base 700 is, for example, a mounting rod. In actual use, for example, the vehicle-mounted camera is connected to the vehicle-mounted clamp bracket, and then the vehicle-mounted clamp bracket and the vehicle-mounted camera are connected together to the mounting rod, thereby mounting the vehicle-mounted camera onto the mounting rod.

[0086] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figures 8 to 11 As shown, at least one of the first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120 is provided with a first clamping groove 114 for accommodating the mounting base member 700, and the width of the first clamping groove 114 gradually decreases along the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114. For example, the width direction of the first clamping groove 114 is... Figure 10 The direction indicated by the middle arrow C, for example, is the direction of the recess in the first clamping groove 114. Figure 10 The direction indicated by the middle arrow D.

[0087] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the first clamping groove 114 includes at least two groove segments 1141, each groove segment 1141 is arranged sequentially along the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114, each groove segment 1141 includes a first sidewall 1151 and a second sidewall 1152, the first sidewall 1151 and the second sidewall 1152 are arranged opposite to each other in the width direction of the first clamping groove 114, and both are used to contact the mounting base 700.

[0088] In the recessed direction of the first clamping groove 114, the inclination of each first sidewall 1151 gradually decreases, for example, and / or the inclination of each second sidewall 1152 gradually decreases, for example.

[0089] The mounting base 700 is, for example, a mounting rod. In actual use, each slot segment 1141 corresponds to a mounting rod with a different diameter range. When the mounting rod engages with the first clamping slot 114, the mounting rod engages with one of the slot segments 1141. In this way, using the solution of this embodiment, the mounting body 100 can be adapted to multiple mounting rods with different diameter ranges, thereby improving the applicability of the adapter.

[0090] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the width of the first clamping groove 114 gradually decreases along the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114. This means that the diameter of the mounting rod adapted to each groove segment 1141 gradually decreases along the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114. Generally, the smaller the diameter of the mounting rod, the greater the clamping force required; in other words, when the diameter of the mounting rod is large, the required clamping force decreases. However, in this embodiment, the magnitude of the clamping force applied by the first clamping groove 114 to the mounting rod mainly depends on the inclination degree of the first sidewall 1151 and the second sidewall 1152. The greater the inclination degree of the first sidewall 1151 and the second sidewall 1152, the smaller the clamping force. Therefore, in this embodiment, by gradually reducing the inclination degree of each first sidewall 1151 and / or gradually reducing the inclination degree of each second sidewall 1152 along the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114, the clamping force requirements of mounting rods with different diameter ranges can be met.

[0091] And reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, along the recessed direction of the first clamping groove 114, by gradually reducing the inclination of each first sidewall 1151 and / or gradually reducing the inclination of each second sidewall 1152, when adapting to a larger diameter mounting rod, the mounting rod can be accommodated more within the first clamping groove 114. In this way, it is not necessary to adjust the distance between the first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120 too much to adapt to a larger diameter mounting rod. This is beneficial to shorten the length of the threaded connector 600 mentioned above and can reduce the overall size of the adapter in the recessed direction of the first clamping groove 114.

[0092] It should be noted that the inclination of the first sidewall 1151 refers to the inclination of the line connecting the two ends of the first sidewall 1151 in the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114. The greater the inclination, the larger the angle between this line and the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114. Similarly, the inclination of the second sidewall 1152 refers to the inclination of the line connecting the two ends of the second sidewall 1152 in the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114. Likewise, the greater the inclination, the larger the angle between this line and the concave direction of the first clamping groove 114.

[0093] Optionally, in the recessed direction of the first clamping groove 114, the inclination of each first sidewall 1151 gradually decreases, and at the same time, the inclination of each second sidewall 1152 also gradually decreases. In addition, the inclination directions of the first sidewall 1151 and the second sidewall 1152 are, for example, opposite, and the inclination of the first sidewall 1151 and the second sidewall 1152 of the same groove segment 1141 is, for example, the same, so that the force on the mounting base 700 is more uniform.

[0094] Optionally, at least one of the first sidewall 1151 and the second sidewall 1152 may be an arc-shaped structure to increase the contact area between the mounting rod and the first clamping groove 114, thereby improving the stability of the adapter.

[0095] Optionally, for example, a first clamping groove 114 may be provided only on the first mounting member 110, while a second clamping groove 121 may be provided on the second mounting member 120. The second clamping groove 121 may be entirely arc-shaped. This makes the second clamping groove 121 easier to manufacture than the first clamping groove 114, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the adapter. In this configuration, refer to... Figure 11 As shown, when the mounting rod engages simultaneously with the first clamping groove 114 and the second clamping groove 121, the mounting rod and the mounting body 100 form a stable triangular force-bearing shape, thus ensuring the stability of the adapter. It should be noted that... Figure 11 The triangle drawn with a dotted line in the diagram illustrates the force distribution within that triangle.

[0096] Optionally, the first clamping groove 114 may include two or three groove segments 1141. Of course, the first clamping groove 114 may also include at least four groove segments 1141, depending on the actual needs of the design. Alternatively, the first clamping groove 114 may also include only one groove segment 1141.

[0097] In other embodiments, the inclination of each first sidewall 1151 may be consistent along the recessed direction of the first clamping groove 114, and the inclination of each second sidewall 1152 may also be consistent, for example.

[0098] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 8As shown, the first mounting component 110 is a housing structure, including a first housing wall 1191 and a second housing wall 1192 disposed opposite to each other in a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to both the width direction and the recess direction of the first clamping groove 114, and both the first housing wall 1191 and the second housing wall 1192 are provided with the first clamping groove 114. With this arrangement, the first mounting component 110 is lighter, thereby reducing the weight of the adapter, and the first housing wall 1191 and the second housing wall 1192 can simultaneously and stably cooperate with the mounting base component 700, thereby improving the installation reliability of electronic devices.

[0099] Further, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the first mounting member 110 also includes a base 117, through which the mounting hole 111 mentioned above passes. When the adapter 200 is in the second and third positions, the first end of the adapter 200 is engaged with the base 117 in the axial upper limit of the adapter 200. Specifically, the adapter 200 is hung on the base 117.

[0100] In other embodiments, the first mounting member 110 may also be a mounting block, in which case the first clamping groove 114 extends through the first mounting member 110, for example, along a first direction.

[0101] In a further embodiment, reference is made to... Figure 1 As shown, at least one of the first mounting member 110 and the second mounting member 120 is provided with an elastic pad 500, which is used to contact the mounting base member 700. When the elastic pad 500 is engaged with the mounting base member 700, the elastic pad 500 is, for example, in a compressed state.

[0102] In this embodiment, the elastic pad 500 increases the friction between the mounting body 100 and the mounting base 700, thereby improving the stability of the adapter.

[0103] Optionally, at least one of the groove wall of the first clamping groove 114 and the groove wall of the second clamping groove 121 mentioned above is provided with an elastic pad 500. It should be noted that the groove wall of the first clamping groove 114 includes the first side wall 1151 and the second side wall 1152 mentioned above.

[0104] Optionally, the elastic pad 500 may be, for example, a rubber pad.

[0105] In other embodiments, neither the first mounting member 110 nor the second mounting member 120 may be provided with elastic pads 500.

[0106] In another embodiment, one of the mounting body 100 and the adapter 200 is provided with at least two first marking portions 116 circumferentially spaced, and the other is provided with a second marking portion 216, wherein the second marking portion 216 may be selectively disposed opposite to one of the first marking portions 116.

[0107] In this embodiment, the first marking part 116 and the second marking part 216 can be used to determine more intuitively and quickly whether the adapter 200 has been adjusted to the preset installation angle, thereby reducing the difficulty of operating the adapter.

[0108] Optionally, the mounting body 100 may include, for example, the first mounting member 110 mentioned above, the first mounting member 110 having at least two first marking portions 116 spaced apart circumferentially, and the adapter 200 may include, for example, the cylindrical body 210 mentioned above, and the side wall of the cylindrical body 210 having a second marking portion 216. Specifically, the first marking portion 116 and the second marking portion 216 may both be recessed portions.

[0109] In other embodiments, the first identifier 116 and the second identifier 216 may be omitted.

[0110] This application also provides an electronic device, which includes an electronic component and the aforementioned adapter, wherein the electronic component is connected to the adapter 200 of the adapter. This electronic device has the same beneficial effects as the aforementioned adapter, and will not be described again here.

[0111] Optionally, the electronic device is, for example, a camera device, and correspondingly, the electronic component is, for example, the camera device mentioned above, more specifically, for example, a camera or video camera, and the mounting base 700 is, for example, the mounting rod mentioned above.

[0112] The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the protection scope of this application.
