Detailed Implementation

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Here, the illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are used to explain the present utility model, but are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0048] refer to Figures 1 to 7 ,like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an aircraft seat back tablet bracket, including: a limiting component 20, a mounting base 40, and a bracket structure 30. The limiting component 20 is installed on the rear side of the seat back 10, and the seat back 10 has a receiving groove 101. The mounting base 40 is also installed on the rear side of the seat back 10 and is located below the limiting component 20. The bracket structure 30 includes a base plate 1 and a support component, wherein the base plate 1 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 40. When the bracket structure 30 is opened relative to the seat back 10, the base plate 1 can stably support the tablet computer, providing passengers with a convenient tablet usage experience. The support component is rotatably connected to the base plate 1. After the support component is rotated and folded and accommodated in the receiving groove 101, the limiting component 20 can effectively limit the top of the base plate 1, ensuring the stability of the entire bracket structure in the folded state and preventing shaking.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, a groove 11 is provided on the top of the base plate 1 to provide space for the rear support module. A pair of connecting seats 3 are symmetrically installed on the base plate 1, providing stable support points for the installation and rotation of the front support module.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly includes a front support module and a rear support module. The front support module is rotatably connected to a pair of connecting seats 3, allowing for flexible angle adjustment according to passenger needs, providing stable support for the tablet computer and meeting the viewing habits of different passengers. The rear support module is rotatably positioned at its end within a groove 11. Its function is to precisely maintain the angle between the front support module and the base plate 1 when the front support module is open relative to the base plate 1, ensuring the stability of the tablet computer and preventing wobbling or tipping during use.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front support module includes a support plate 4, a movable plate 7, and a limiting frame 8. The support plate 4 is positioned between a pair of connecting seats 3 and is rotatably mounted on the connecting seats 3 via a shaft, allowing the support plate 4 to rotate flexibly and easily adjust its angle. The support plate 4 consists of a plate body 41 and a cover plate 42. The cover plate 42 is fastened to the upper opening of the plate body 41. This structure not only facilitates installation and disassembly but also protects the internal structure. The back of the plate body 41 has two sets of symmetrically arranged adjustment grooves 47. The back of the plate body 41 is provided with a limiting groove 44, within which a sliding rod 48 is installed. The movable plate 7 is vertically slidably positioned within the movable groove 43 of the plate body 41, and a protrusion 71 is installed on the back of the movable plate 7. The protrusion 71 is sleeved on the sliding rod 48, and a second compression spring 49 is sleeved on the sliding rod 48. The second compression spring 49 presses against the inner wall of the limiting groove 44 and the protrusion 71, allowing the movable plate 7 to slide flexibly within a certain range to adapt to the fixing requirements of tablet computers of different sizes. The U-shaped limiting frame 8 is installed on the side wall of the movable plate 7. The inner wall of the limiting frame 8 has a rubber pad 81. The rubber pad 81 can increase the friction between the tablet computer and the tablet computer, effectively preventing the tablet computer from sliding. At the same time, it can also play a buffering role to avoid damage to the tablet computer.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rear support module includes a support rod 5 and an adjusting component 6. Rotating shafts 51 are provided on both sides of the end of the support rod 5. The rotating shafts 51 are rotatably mounted on the base plate 1, allowing the support rod 5 to rotate flexibly for easy storage and deployment. The adjusting component 6 is installed at the top of the support rod 5. The adjusting component 6 includes a crossbar 61 and side plates 62 connected to both sides of the crossbar 61. The side plates 62 extend into corresponding adjusting slots 47 to adjust the angle of the plate.

[0053] In use, the rear support module can be rotated and folded and stored in the groove 11. Then, the front support module can be rotated and folded to abut against the base plate 1. Finally, the bracket structure 30 can be folded to accommodate the support components in the receiving groove 101, which greatly reduces the volume of the bracket and makes it easy to store.

[0054] Furthermore, the limiting assembly 20 includes: a limiting seat 201, a rectangular block 202, a triangular block 203, a pressure rod 204, a pressure plate 205, an insert rod 207, and a first compression spring 208. The limiting seat 201 is mounted on the seat back 10, providing a reliable mounting base for the entire limiting assembly 20. The rectangular block 202 is disposed within the cavity of the limiting seat 201, and the top of the rectangular block 202 has a countersunk hole. The triangular block 203 is mounted on the right side of the rectangular block 202. The pressure rod 204 is slidably mounted on the side wall of the limiting seat 201. One end of the pressure rod 204 is designed with a bevel, and a stop block 206 is disposed at the bottom of the pressure rod 204 to effectively prevent the pressure rod 204 from accidentally sliding out, ensuring the stability of the limiting assembly 20. The pressure plate 205 is mounted on the other end of the pressure rod 204, providing the operator with a convenient point of force application, facilitating control of the sliding of the pressure rod 204. The insertion rod 207 is installed at the bottom of the rectangular block 202. The first compression spring 208 is installed in the countersunk hole and abuts against the inner wall of the limiting seat 201, providing power for the reset of the insertion rod 207. When the bracket structure 30 is folded, the insertion rod 207 engages with the slot 12 on the base plate 1 to lock the base plate 1 in position, preventing shaking or displacement during use and ensuring the stability of the tablet computer.

[0055] In use, pushing the pressure plate 205 inward causes the pressure rod 204 to move inward and press the hypotenuse of the triangular block 203. At this time, under the action of the hypotenuse, the triangular block 203 will drive the rectangular block 202 to move upward, thereby compressing the first compression spring 208. At the same time, the insertion rod 207 will disengage from the slot 12 on the base plate 1 as the rectangular block 202 moves, releasing the position lock of the base plate 1 and facilitating the folding operation of the bracket structure 30. When it is necessary to lock the base plate 1 again, after the bracket structure 30 is folded, the above operation is repeated and the pressure plate 205 is released. The first compression spring 208 resets and pushes the rectangular block 202 downward, causing the insertion rod 207 to re-insert into the slot 12, completing the position lock of the base plate 1.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an aircraft seat back tablet bracket that also includes a limiting bracket 2. The limiting bracket 2 is installed at the top end of the base plate 1 and is located on the right side of the support assembly. It is used to provide auxiliary support for the bottom of the tablet computer, further enhancing the stability of the tablet computer and preventing the tablet computer from tilting or slipping due to lack of support at the bottom.

[0057] Specifically, the limiting bracket 2 is V-shaped, which can better fit the bottom contour of the tablet computer. Both sides of the limiting bracket 2 are provided with long strip-shaped anti-slip protrusions 21 for supporting the tablet computer. These anti-slip protrusions 21 not only increase the friction between the tablet computer and the tablet computer, effectively preventing the tablet computer from sliding, but also play a certain role in buffering, avoiding hard collisions between the tablet computer and the limiting bracket 2, thereby extending the service life of the tablet computer.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the support plate 4 also has a through-hole vent 45 and a heat dissipation hole 46. The vent 45 is rectangular and located below the heat dissipation hole 46. The cooperation between the vent 45 and the heat dissipation hole 46 helps to dissipate heat from the tablet computer, reducing the risk of performance degradation or damage due to overheating, and ensuring that the tablet computer can always maintain a good operating condition.

[0059] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to the embodiments of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
