Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and in particular to an electronic device bracket and electronic device accessories. Background Technology
[0002] Existing electronic device stands are typically mounted on electronic devices or accessories. They open and close by rotating the support components. Users can also adjust the tilt angle of the electronic device relative to the desktop by adjusting the rotation angle of the support components, so that the tilt angle meets the user's needs or adapts to different usage scenarios.
[0003] To enable electronic device stands to support mobile phones and other electronic devices in both landscape and portrait orientations, and to allow for angle adjustment in various support states, connectors are typically used to connect the stand to the electronic device or its accessories. Existing connectors generally connect to phone cases or other electronic device accessories via spring clips. These connectors are installed and stored in a mounting slot on the back panel of the phone case, with grooves on the side of the connector and the sidewall of the mounting slot to hold the spring clip, ensuring the connector doesn't detach from the slot. Because of the grooves on the side of the connector, the connector is relatively thick. Correspondingly, the mounting slot on the back panel of the protective case needs to be quite deep to accommodate the connector, resulting in a relatively thick protective case overall. For example, without a stand, the back panel thickness can be as low as 1.0mm, achieving a slim profile. However, with a stand, the thickness increases to 3.0mm, making the protective case bulky and inconvenient for daily use and carrying. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application discloses an electronic device bracket, comprising:
[0005] Support components
[0006] A connector is rotatably connected to the support member. The connector includes a first connector and a second connector stacked on top of each other. The edge of the first connector protrudes from the edge of the second connector to form a first connecting portion, which is used to snap onto an electronic device or electronic device accessory. The second connector includes a fixed portion and a movable portion. The fixed portion is fixed relative to the first connector, and the movable portion is rotatably connected to the support member. When the support member is rotated open relative to the connector, it can drive the movable portion away from the first connector.
[0007] This application also discloses an electronic device accessory, including an accessory body and the aforementioned electronic device bracket, wherein the accessory body is provided with a first mounting groove, and the electronic device bracket is mounted in the first mounting groove via the connector.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0009] The electronic device bracket and electronic device accessory disclosed in this application have a first connecting portion protruding from the edge of the connector. The connector is snapped onto the electronic device or electronic device accessory through the first connecting portion. Since the snap ring is no longer needed, the connector can be thinned based on the existing design, and the depth of the mounting groove and the thickness of the protective shell back plate can also be reduced. At the same time, considering that the connector may deform under stress when the support rotates relative to the connector after the connector is thinned, which may lead to the connector being damaged, the applicant has also set the connector as a first connector and a second connector stacked together. By setting the first connecting portion on the first connector, the second connector includes a fixed portion and a movable portion. The fixed portion is fixed relative to the first connector, and the movable portion is rotatably connected to the support. When the support rotates relative to the connector, it can drive the movable portion away from the first connector. The movement of the movable portion can play a role in relieving stress, solving the problem that the connector may deform under stress and be damaged. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] In this application, the terms "upper," "inner," "outer," "middle," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.
[0029] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0030] Furthermore, the terms "provided with" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0032] Existing electronic device stands are typically mounted on electronic devices or accessories. They open and close by rotating the support components. Users can also adjust the tilt angle of the electronic device relative to the desktop by adjusting the rotation angle of the support components, so that the tilt angle meets the user's needs or adapts to different usage scenarios.
[0033] For ease of storage, mounting slots are typically incorporated into electronic devices or accessories to accommodate stands. These stands are then neatly stored within these slots to prevent them from protruding and interfering with the device's operation. However, the mounting slots also limit the stand's rotation. When the stand reaches a certain angle, it may come into contact with the side wall of the slot, preventing further rotation and restricting the rotation angle to a limited range, such as 0-120 degrees. This becomes insufficient for users who require larger rotation angles to adjust the device's tilt or for specific usage scenarios.
[0034] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an electronic device bracket. A first connecting portion protrudes from the edge of the connector, and the connector is snapped onto the electronic device or electronic device accessory via this first connecting portion. Since a retaining spring is no longer needed, the connector can be thinned based on existing designs, and the depth of the mounting groove and the thickness of the protective shell backplate can also be reduced. Furthermore, considering that the thinner connector may deform under stress when the support rotates relative to it, potentially causing damage, the applicant has configured the connector as a first and second connector stacked together. The first connecting portion is located on the first connector, and the second connector includes a fixed portion and a movable portion. The fixed portion is fixed relative to the first connector, and the movable portion is rotatably connected to the support. When the support rotates relative to the connector, it can move the movable portion away from the first connector. The movement of the movable portion can relieve stress, solving the problem of potential deformation and damage to the connector under stress.
[0035] Furthermore, since the support is connected to the movable part, the movement of the movable part away from the first connector will also cause the rotation center height of the support and the movable part to rise. When the rotation center height rises a certain distance, for example, from initially being located within the mounting slot of the electronic device or electronic device accessory, to rising and moving away from the mounting slot (i.e., higher than the opening of the mounting slot), the rotation of the support will no longer interfere with the side wall of the mounting slot. The support can rotate at a larger angle to meet the user's needs in certain scenarios. The mounting slot design not only ensures that the bracket will not protrude from the surface of the electronic device or electronic device accessory when stored, but also solves the problem of interference between the rotation of the support and the side wall of the mounting slot by raising the rotation center. Electronic devices or electronic device accessories equipped with the electronic device bracket provided in this application have a greater advantage in terms of thinner and lighter design.
[0036] It is understood that an electronic device stand is configured to be mounted on the surface of an electronic device to support it. For example, it can be mounted on the back of the electronic device, that is, on the surface of the electronic device opposite to the display / viewing / operation surface. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, e-reader, etc., and this application does not specifically limit this. Similarly, the electronic device stand can also be mounted on an electronic device accessory, such as a protective case, card holder, power bank, etc., and connect to the electronic device through the accessory to achieve the function of supporting the electronic device.
[0037] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-4An embodiment of this application provides an electronic device bracket including a support member 1 and a connector 2. The support member 1 and the connector 2 are rotatably connected, so that the support member 1 can be folded in or opened relative to the connector 2, for example... Figure 1 This refers to the state when support component 1 is stored. Figure 2 This refers to the state when support member 1 is open. Furthermore, connector 2 includes a first connector 21 and a second connector 22 stacked together. The edge of the first connector 21 protrudes beyond the edge of the second connector 22 to form a first connecting portion 21a, i.e. Figure 1 and Figure 10 The protruding ring of the first connector 21 compared to the second connector 22 is the first connecting portion 21a. The first connecting portion 21a is used to snap onto an electronic device or electronic device accessory. Taking an electronic device accessory as an example, a slot can be provided on the accessory, and the first connecting portion 21 can snap into the slot to achieve connection with the accessory. The second connector 22 includes a fixed portion 221 and a movable portion 222. The fixed portion 221 is fixed relative to the first connector 21, for example, it can be riveted or welded to the first connector 21 for fixation. The movable portion 222 is rotatably connected to the support member 1. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second connector 22 is stacked on top of the first connector 21. The fixed portion 221 of the second connector 22 is fixed to the first connector 21. The end of the movable portion 222 away from the fixed portion 221 is rotatably connected to the support member 1. When the support member 1 rotates, the force generated by the rotation will cause the end of the movable portion 222 rotatably connected to the support member 1 to lift relative to the first connector 21. Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 When the middle support 1 rotates at a certain angle, the end of the movable part 222 that is rotatably connected to the support 1 moves away from the first connector 21. At this time, an angle is formed between the movable part 222 and the first connector 21, which changes the position of the rotational connection point between the movable part 222 and the support 1, that is, the rotation center position, and moves away from the first connector 21. This is equivalent to raising the rotation center, avoiding interference between the support 1 and the side wall of the mounting slot on the electronic device accessory when the support 1 rotates. The support 1 can rotate at a larger angle to meet the user's usage needs in some scenarios.
[0039] The aforementioned electronic device bracket has a first connecting portion 21a protruding from the edge of the connector 2. The connector 2 is then snapped onto the electronic device or electronic device accessory via the first connecting portion 21a. Since the snap ring is no longer needed, the connector 2 can be thinned out based on the existing design, and the depth of the mounting groove and the thickness of the protective shell back plate can also be reduced. Furthermore, considering that the thinner connector 2 may deform under stress when the support 1 rotates relative to it, potentially causing damage, the applicant has configured the connector 2 as a first connector 21 and a second connector 22 stacked together. By placing the first connecting portion 21a on the first connector 21, the second connector 22 includes a fixed portion 221 and a movable portion 222. The fixed portion 221 is fixed relative to the first connector 21, and the movable portion 222 is rotatably connected to the support 1. When the support 1 rotates relative to the connector 2, it can move the movable portion 222 away from the first connector 21. The movement of the movable portion 222 can relieve stress, solving the problem of potential deformation and damage to the connector 2 under stress.
[0040] Furthermore, by setting the connector 2 as a first connector 21 and a second connector 22 stacked together, wherein the first connector 21 is used to connect to electronic devices or electronic device accessories, and the second connector 22 includes a fixed part 221 and a movable part 222, the fixed part 221 is fixed relative to the first connector 21, and the movable part 222 is rotatably connected to the support member 1, so that when the support member 1 rotates open relative to the connector 2, it can drive the movable part 222 away from the first connector 21. And since the support member 1 is connected to the movable part 222, the movement of the movable part 222 away from the first connector 21 will also cause the rotation center height of the support member 1 and the movable part 222 to rise. When the height of the rotation center rises a certain distance, for example, the rotation center is raised from the initial location in the mounting slot of the electronic device or electronic device accessory to be removed from the mounting slot, i.e., higher than the opening of the mounting slot, the rotation of the support member 1 will no longer interfere with the side wall of the mounting slot. The support member 1 can rotate at a larger angle to meet the user's usage needs in some scenarios.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the first connector 21 includes an annular body 211, which can be a circular ring or other ring shapes. In this embodiment, a circular ring is used as an example. The annular body 211 is provided with a first opening 212 that breaks the annular body 211. The first opening 212 allows the two ends of the annular body 211 forming the first opening 212 to move closer or further apart under the action of external force. Since the connector 2 is engaged with the electronic device or electronic device accessory through the first connecting portion 21a at the edge of the first connector 21, when installing, applying external force to the two ends of the annular body 211 causes them to move closer together through the first opening 212. At this time, the first connecting portion 21a is more easily engaged into the slot on the electronic device or electronic device accessory. After installation, once the external force is removed, both ends of the annular body 211 can return to their original positions under the elastic deformation of the annular body 211, that is, the two ends move away from each other. At this time, since the first connecting part 21a has been engaged in the slot, the annular body 211 can ensure that the engagement between the first connecting part 21a and the slot is more secure after it is restored, and the two will not separate.
[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connector 21 also includes an anti-detachment component 213, which is located at the first opening 212, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the annular body 211. As mentioned in the above embodiments, during installation, external force is used to bring the two ends of the annular body 211 closer together. After installation, the annular body 211 recovers its distance from the two ends through its own elastic deformation. This results in the two ends of the annular body 211 still moving closer together under external force after the first connector 21 is installed, causing the first connecting part 21a to separate from the slot, and causing the electronic device bracket to detach from the electronic device or electronic device accessory. Building on this, in this embodiment, after the first connector 21 is installed, an anti-detachment component is provided at the first opening 212 of the first connector 21 to seal the first opening 212. This prevents the two ends of the annular body 211 from moving closer together under external force. In this case, the first connector 21 will not separate from the mounting slot after installation, meaning the electronic device bracket will not detach from the electronic device or electronic device accessory. The two ends of the anti-detachment component 212 can be fixedly connected to the two ends of the annular body 211 by means of bonding, welding, riveting, etc., or can be detached by means of buckles, etc. This application does not make specific limitations, as long as the connection can be achieved.
[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9As shown, in this embodiment, the second connector 22 is configured as a ring structure. Specifically, it can be a circular ring or a ring structure of other shapes. In this embodiment, a circular ring is used as an example for explanation. The fixing part 221 includes a first fixing part 221a and a second fixing part 221b, and the first fixing part 221a, the movable part 222, and the second fixing part 221b are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the second connector 22 (e.g., Figure 9 In the diagram, the dotted line represents the boundary line between the movable part 222 and the first fixed part 221a and the second fixed part 221b. (In other embodiments, the position of the boundary line can be adjusted according to specific needs.) That is, the movable part 222 is provided with the first fixed part 221a and the second fixed part 221b at both ends. In this way, the end of the movable part 222 away from the fixed part 221 can tilt up when the support member 1 rotates, causing the rotation center of the support member 1 and both to move away from the first connecting member 21. With the above arrangement, when the movable part 222 tilts up, the forces on both ends of the movable part 222 are relatively balanced. The movable part 222 can play a role in thousands of uses of the support member 1, and will not fail after multiple uses due to uneven force.
[0044] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9 In some embodiments, the second connector 22 is also provided with a second opening 223 that disconnects the annular structure. The position of the second opening 223 corresponds to the first opening 212. Along the circumference of the second connector 22, the second opening 223, the first fixing part 221a, the movable part 222, and the second fixing part 221b are arranged in sequence. Since the fixing part 221 is relatively fixed to the first connector 21, in order to ensure that the two ends of the annular body 211 can approach each other under the action of external force for easy installation, the second connector 22 also needs to be provided with a second opening 223. When the two ends of the annular body 211 approach each other under the action of external force, one end of the first fixing part 221a and one end of the second fixing part 221b also approach each other.
[0045] In some embodiments, further refer to Figure 10 The movable part 222 is provided with a first bushing part 222a. The support member 1 is rotatably connected to the first bushing part 222a via a rotating shaft 2. Along the radial direction of the second connecting member 22, the first bushing part 222a and the second opening 223 are located at opposite ends of the second connecting member 22, that is, the line connecting the first bushing part 222a and the second opening 223 passes through the center of the annular structure of the second connecting member 22. With the above arrangement, the arrangement of the second opening 223, the first fixing part 221a, the movable part 222 and the second fixing part 221b on the second connecting member 22 is more reasonable, which is more conducive to the installation of the connecting member 2 and the rotation between the support member 1 and the connecting member 2.
[0046] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 10 The first bushing portion 222a protrudes from the outer edge of the movable portion 222 in a direction away from the second connector 22. The outer edge of the movable portion 222 refers to the outer ring edge of the second connector 22, and the first bushing portion 222a does not extend beyond the outer edge of the first connector 21. When the support member 1 is in the retracted position, refer to... Figure 1 The support member 1 covers the first bushing 222a and the rotating shaft 3. In other words, when the support member 1 is stored, the first bushing 222a and the rotating shaft 3 will not be exposed. On the one hand, this effectively prevents dust, sweat and other substances from corroding the rotating shaft 3 and causing the rotating structure to fail, thus protecting the rotating shaft 3. On the other hand, it can also effectively prevent the exposed rotating shaft 3 and the first bushing 222a from scratching other items when the user puts the electronic bracket into the bag.
[0047] In some embodiments, see Figure 11 and Figure 12 The support member 1 includes a second connecting portion 11, a hinge 12 connected to the second connecting portion 11, and a wear-resistant member 13 sandwiched between the second connecting portion 11 and the hinge 12. The edge of the wear-resistant member 13 protrudes beyond the edge of the second connecting portion 11, and the hinge 12 is connected to a pivot. (Reference) Figure 4 During rotation, the edge of the support member 1 comes into contact with the first connecting member 21. Continued rotation of the support member 1 generates friction between them. Since the surface of the support member 1 typically undergoes surface treatments, such as coating, friction can easily cause the coating to peel off, affecting the appearance of the support member 1. Furthermore, for a thinner design, the support member 1 is usually made of lightweight materials with suitable strength, such as aluminum alloy, which is not inherently wear-resistant, making it prone to wear during friction. Therefore, by providing a wear-resistant component 13, with its edge protruding beyond the edge of the second connecting part 11, the wear-resistant component 13 replaces the support member 1 in rubbing against the first connecting member 21. On one hand, the wear-resistant component 13 can be made of high-strength materials, such as steel, which is less prone to wear during friction. On the other hand, the wear-resistant component is located between the second connecting part 11 and the hinge 12, and its surface does not require processing or coating. Even if it wears down, the user will not see it, and it will not affect the appearance of the support member 1.
[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 12As shown, the second connecting portion 11 is provided with a receiving groove 11a, and both the wear-resistant part 13 and the hinge 12 are disposed within the receiving groove 11a, with the edge of the wear-resistant part 13 protruding beyond the receiving groove 11a. By providing the receiving groove 11a to accommodate the wear-resistant part 13 and the hinge 12, the wear-resistant part 13 and the hinge 12 will not protrude from the surface of the support member 1 after being stacked on the second connecting portion 11, thus preventing the overall thickness of the support member 1 from increasing. At the same time, since the edge of the wear-resistant part 13 protrudes beyond the receiving groove 11a, when the wear-resistant part 13 rubs against the first connecting member 21, the second connecting portion 11 will not rub against the first connecting member 21.
[0049] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the hinge 12 is provided with a second bushing portion 12a, and the rotating shaft 3 is connected to the second bushing portion 12a. The bottom of the receiving groove 11a is provided with a clearance groove 11b, and the wear-resistant part 13 is provided with a clearance hole 13a. The clearance groove 11b and the clearance hole 13a are positioned correspondingly and together form a clearance space, within which a portion of the second bushing portion 12a is located. Since the thickness of the second bushing portion 12a is greater than the thickness of other parts of the hinge 12, when the hinge 12 is installed in the receiving groove 11a, the second bushing portion 12a will protrude from the surface of the support member 1 compared to other parts, affecting the overall thickness of the support member 1. To minimize the thickness of the support member 1, the clearance groove 11b and the clearance hole 13a are provided to clearance and accommodate the second bushing portion 12a, ensuring that the second bushing portion 12a does not protrude excessively compared to other parts.
[0050] Furthermore, protruding posts can be provided on the bottom of the receiving groove 11a. These protruding posts can serve as positioning posts when the wear-resistant part 13 and the hinge 12 are connected to the second connecting part 11. Through holes can be provided on the wear-resistant part 13 and the hinge 12. The wear-resistant part 13 and the hinge 12 are positioned by fitting onto the positioning posts through the through holes, and then fixedly connected, for example, by positioning first and then welding. In other embodiments, the protruding posts can also be riveting posts. The wear-resistant part 13 and the hinge 12 are fitted onto the riveting posts through the through holes, and then the riveting posts are processed to achieve riveting. The above only provides some connection methods between the riveting part 13 and the hinge 12 and the second connecting part 11. This application does not impose specific limitations; any method that achieves the connection is acceptable.
[0051] In some embodiments, further refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9The first connector 21 has a first positioning part 214 on the side facing the second connector 22, and the second connector 22 has a second positioning part 221c. The first positioning part 214 and the second positioning part 221c cooperate to limit the position of the second connector 22 on the first connector 21. As shown in the figure, the first connector 21 has a first positioning part 214 in the shape of a protruding column on the side facing the second connector 22, and the second connector 22 has a second positioning part 221c with a through hole structure. Before the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are fixedly connected, the second positioning part 221c can be sleeved on the first positioning part 214 to fix the relative positions of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22, and then the fixed connection is performed, such as by welding or riveting, to ensure that the positions of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 will not shift.
[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 The connector 2 also includes a protective element 24, which covers the surface of the second connector 22 away from the first connector 21. Due to the need for connection strength, the second connector 22 is typically made of metal or alloy. These materials are prone to corrosion during use due to contact with sweat and moisture in the air, affecting structural strength and overall appearance. By providing the protective element 24 to cover the second connector 22, contact between the second connector 22 and corrosion sources can be effectively prevented, thus protecting the second connector 22.
[0053] In some embodiments, see Figures 13-16 This application also provides an electronic device accessory, which may be, for example, a protective case (phone case, tablet case, etc.), a power bank, a wallet, etc. This application uses a phone case as an example for explanation. The electronic device accessory includes an accessory body 4 and an electronic device bracket connected to the accessory body 4. The accessory body 4 has a first mounting groove 41, and the electronic device bracket is mounted in the first mounting groove 41 via a connector 2.
[0054] Specifically, the first mounting groove 41 includes a bottom wall 41a and a side wall 41b. A snap-fit groove 42 is recessed in the side wall 41b. The first connecting part 21a of the connector 2 snaps into the snap-fit groove 42, and the connector 2 can rotate within the first mounting groove 41 to rotate the support member 1, changing the position of the support member 1 on the accessory body 4. During installation, external force deforms the connector 2, making it smaller and easier to snap the first connecting part 21a into the snap-fit groove 42. Then, the external force is removed, and the connector 2 returns to its original shape. At this point, the first connecting part 21a is snapped into the snap-fit groove 42, and the side wall of the snap-fit groove 42 blocks the first connecting part 21a in the thickness direction of the accessory body 4, preventing the connector 2 from detaching from the first mounting groove 41. This makes the connection between the connector 2 and the accessory body 4 more secure and reliable.
[0055] In some embodiments, further refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The connector 2 also includes a damping element 23, which is disposed on the side of the first connector 21 facing the bottom wall 41a of the first mounting groove 41. When the connector 2 rotates relative to the first mounting groove 41, the damping element 23 contacts and rubs against the bottom wall 41a of the first mounting groove 41 to increase the friction between the connector 2 and the bottom wall 41a. The friction causes the connector 2 to rotate a certain angle relative to the first mounting groove 41 under the action of external force. After the external force is removed, the connector 2 can maintain this angle, and then the support 1 rotates to provide support, ensuring the stability of the support.
[0056] Specifically, the damping element 23 and the first connecting element 21 can be connected in various ways. For example, the damping element 23 can be placed on the surface of the first connecting element 21 facing the bottom wall 41a, for example, by adhesive. When the connecting element 2 rotates, the damping element 23 will preferentially rub against the bottom wall 41a.
[0057] In other implementations, a second mounting groove can be provided on the surface of the first connector 21 facing the bottom wall 41a. The damping member 23 can be installed in the second mounting groove by means of adhesive, snap-fit, etc., and the surface of the damping member 23 is set to be higher than the surface of the first connector 21 facing the bottom wall 41a, ensuring that the damping member 23 preferentially rubs against the bottom wall 41a when the connector 2 rotates. By providing the second mounting groove, the overall thickness of the connector 2 after the damping member 23 is provided can be reduced to a certain extent, which is beneficial to achieving a thinner and lighter electronic device bracket.
[0058] In other implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, a notch can also be formed by recessing the edge of the first connector 21 inward, that is, a notch is formed in the groove on the inner side wall of the annular first connector 21 in the figure. Since the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are stacked, the notch exposes the part of the second connector 22 corresponding to the notch. The damping member 23 can be connected to the exposed part of the second connector 22 by means of bonding, snapping, etc. In addition, the surface of the damping member 23 facing the bottom wall 41a is set to be higher than the surface of the first connector 21 facing the bottom wall 41a, ensuring that when the connector 2 rotates, the damping member 23 preferentially rubs against the bottom wall 41a. By setting the notch, the overall thickness of the connector 2 after setting the damping member 23 can be minimized. That is, after setting the damping member 23, the overall thickness of the connector 2 does not increase much, which is conducive to achieving the thinness of the electronic device bracket.
