Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle electronics, and specifically relates to a clamping and lifting dual motion mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve and science and technology advance, they are placing increasingly higher demands on products in their daily lives. They not only value product performance and quality, but also pay more attention to user comfort, experience, and technological sophistication.

[0003] Vehicles are typically equipped with functional products (such as power banks and wireless chargers), which can usually be stored in the vehicle's interior. However, the motion mechanisms inside vehicles can usually only perform a single action, such as lifting, clamping, or swaying. Their limited range of motion and applicable scenarios result in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a clamping and lifting dual motion mechanism to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0006] A clamping and lifting dual-motion mechanism includes: a base; a clamping and lifting assembly including a lifting bracket, a guide rod, and two clamping members, wherein the lifting bracket is provided with a first contact block, the clamping members are provided with a second contact block and a claw, the guide rod slides through the base and one end is connected to the lifting bracket, and an elastic element is sleeved on the guide rod; a driving member is used to drive the two clamping members to move closer and further apart, so that the first contact block and the second contact block separate and contact; wherein the first contact block and / or the second contact block has an inclined surface.

[0007] In the above scheme, initially, the functional product is placed on top of the lifting bracket. At this time, the jaws on the two clamping members clamp the functional product from both sides, and the first and second contact blocks are in a non-contact, separated state. When the functional product needs to be used, the drive unit is activated, which drives the two clamping members to move away from each other. As the two clamping members move, the jaws on both sides move away from each other, releasing the functional product. Simultaneously, during the movement of the clamping members, the first and second contact blocks come into contact. Since the first and second contact blocks have inclined surfaces, they abut against the inclined surfaces, causing... The lifting bracket is pushed upwards by the guide rod and moves upwards under the guidance and limiting action of the guide rod. This releases the functional product while raising it so that the user can take it away and use it, improving the user experience and comfort. As the lifting bracket rises, the spring on the guide rod is gradually compressed. When the user puts the functional product back into the lifting bracket, the drive component drives the two clamping parts to move closer together, causing the first contact block and the second contact block to separate. At this time, the spring on the guide rod gradually recovers from the compressed state, driving the lifting bracket to descend. At the same time, the claws on both sides clamp the functional product again, returning it to its initial state.

[0008] In one example of this utility model, the clamping member is provided with a rack portion, and the output end of the driving member is equipped with a gear that cooperates with the rack portion.

[0009] In the above scheme, the two racks mesh with the gear from opposite sides. The drive unit can drive the gear to rotate, thereby moving the two clamping parts in opposite directions to achieve the movement of the two clamping parts closer and further apart. By setting the gear and rack parts, only one drive unit is needed to satisfy the movement of the two clamping parts, which can effectively save costs.

[0010] In one example of this utility model, both the first contact block and the second contact block have inclined surfaces, and the inclined surfaces on the first contact block and the second contact block have the same inclination angle.

[0011] In the above scheme, the inclined surfaces on the first contact block and the second contact block have the same angle, so as to form a tight surface contact when they come into contact, avoid excessive instantaneous force, and make the lifting process of the lifting bracket more stable.

[0012] In one example of this utility model, the clamping and lifting assembly further includes a rubber pad and a pressure plate. The two ends of the rubber pad abut against the pressure plate and the clamping member, respectively. The pressure plate is provided with a connecting hole, and the base is provided with a connecting post that mates with the connecting hole.

[0013] In the above scheme, the pressure plate and the rubber pad are located between the lifting bracket and the clamping component. The pressure plate is connected to the connecting column on the base, thereby pressing the rubber pad onto the clamping component. The pressure plate and the rubber pad can limit the height of the clamping component and also play a role in eliminating gaps. This provides damping force during the movement of the clamping component, eliminates the shaking generated during the lifting movement, and makes the movement more stable.

[0014] In one example of this utility model, a slider is mounted on the clamping member, and the base is provided with a groove that cooperates with the slider.

[0015] In the above scheme, when the clamping member moves, the slider on the clamping member moves synchronously in the slide groove. The slider and the slide groove are used to guide and limit the movement of the clamping member.

[0016] In one example of this utility model, a gap-eliminating spring is installed on the slider, and the gap-eliminating spring abuts against the groove wall and the bottom of the groove.

[0017] In the above scheme, the gap-eliminating spring is used to eliminate gaps, thereby providing damping force and enhancing stability during movement to prevent swaying of the lifting support during movement.

[0018] In one example of this utility model, the base is provided with a hollow mounting column, the guide rod slides through the end face of the mounting column, the end of the guide rod away from the lifting bracket is provided with a fixing block, and the two ends of the elastic member abut against the inner wall of the mounting column and the fixing block respectively.

[0019] In the above scheme, the fixing block is fixedly installed at the end of the guide rod to limit the elastic element on the guide rod. The elastic element is installed inside the mounting column. When the lifting bracket rises, the fixing block rises together with the guide rod. At this time, the elastic element is compressed under the action of the inner end face of the mounting column and the fixing block, thereby providing tension for the subsequent descent of the lifting bracket and causing the lifting bracket to reset.

[0020] In one example of this utility model, the end of the mounting column away from the lifting bracket is connected to the outside of the base.

[0021] In the above scheme, the bottom of the mounting column is connected to the outside of the base, which facilitates the installation and removal of the fixing block and elastic element.

[0022] In one example of this utility model, the claw and the clamping member are an integral structure, and the end of the claw is bent to form a locking portion.

[0023] In the above solution, the addition of a snap-fit ​​part helps to enhance the clamping effect on functional products.

[0024] In one example of this utility model, the base has openings on both sides for the claws to pass through.

[0025] In the above scheme, the opening is used to allow the jaws to pass through when the clamping component moves, thus avoiding interference.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0027] This utility model can realize dual-action movement of lifting and clamping. When needed, the functional product can be released and raised, making it easy for the user to take the functional product away for use. When the user puts the functional product back, the product can be stored and then clamped, which significantly improves the user experience and comfort, and has a stronger sense of technology.

[0028] This utility model has a compact overall structure and small size, making it suitable for use in various scenarios. It also has low manufacturing costs and good economic efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0042] To facilitate understanding of this invention, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. However, this invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 In a preferred embodiment, a clamping and lifting dual-motion mechanism is provided, applied inside a vehicle, for driving the movement of in-vehicle electronic products. It includes a base 1, a clamping and lifting assembly, and a drive component 5. The clamping and lifting assembly is installed inside the base 1 and includes a lifting bracket 2, a guide rod 3, and two clamping members 4. The bottom of the lifting bracket 2 is provided with two first contact blocks 21, and each of the two clamping members 4 is provided with a second contact block 41 and a claw 42. The guide rod 3 slides through the base 1, and its top end is fixedly connected to the lifting bracket 2. An elastic element 31 is sleeved on the guide rod 3. The drive component 5 is used to drive the two clamping members 4 to move closer and further apart, so that the first contact blocks 21 and the second contact blocks 41 separate and contact each other. The first contact blocks 21 and the second contact blocks 41 are both provided with inclined surfaces, and the inclination angles of the inclined surfaces are the same.

[0044] Specifically, there are four guide rods 3, which are located at the four corners of the lifting bracket 2. The guide rods 3 slide through the base 1 and are used to guide and limit the movement of the lifting bracket 2.

[0045] In the initial state, the functional product 6 is placed on top of the lifting bracket 2. At this time, the claws 42 on the two clamping members 4 clamp the functional product 6 from both sides, and the first contact block 21 and the second contact block 41 are in a non-contact, separated state. When the functional product 6 needs to be used, the driving member 5 is activated. The driving member 5 drives the two clamping members 4 to move away from each other. As the two clamping members 4 move away from each other, the claws 42 on both sides release the functional product 6. At the same time, during the movement of the clamping members 4, the inclined surfaces on the first contact block 21 and the second contact block 41 come into contact. As the clamping members 4 continue to move, the lifting bracket 2 is subjected to a pushing force, guided and limited by the guide rod 3. Under the action of the lifting bracket 2, the functional product 6 is lifted up while being released, pushing the functional product 6 out of the base 1 so that the user can take it away and use it, improving the user experience and comfort. When the lifting bracket 2 rises, the spring on the guide rod 3 is gradually compressed. When the user puts the functional product 6 back into the lifting bracket 2, the driving component 5 drives the two clamping components 4 to move closer to each other, causing the first contact block 21 and the second contact block 41 to separate. At this time, the spring on the guide rod 3 gradually recovers from the compressed state, driving the lifting bracket 2 to descend and put the functional product 6 back into the base 1. At the same time, the claws 42 on both sides clamp the functional product 6 again, completing the storage of the functional product 6.

[0046] Not limited to, functional product 6 can be a power bank, card or other in-vehicle accessories.

[0047] It is understandable that setting the inclined surfaces on the first contact block 21 and the second contact block 41 to the same inclined angle is intended to form a tight surface contact during contact, avoid excessive instantaneous force, make the lifting process of the lifting bracket 2 more stable, and at the same time reduce the possibility of contact damage.

[0048] Preferably, the angle between the inclined surfaces on the first contact block 21 and the second contact block 41 and the horizontal plane is 45°.

[0049] It should be noted that in some embodiments of this utility model, an inclined surface may be provided only on the first contact block 21 or only on the second contact block 41. In this case, when the first contact block 21 and the second contact block 41 come into contact, a line-to-surface contact is formed, which can also generate a pushing force on the lifting bracket 2, thereby achieving the same technical effect as in this embodiment.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 2 to 5The clamping member 4 is provided with a rack portion 43, and the output end of the driving member 5 is equipped with a gear 51 that meshes with the rack portion 43. A space is formed between the two clamping members 4 to accommodate the gear 51. The two rack portions 43 mesh with the gear 51 from opposite sides. The driving member 5 can drive the gear 51 to rotate, thereby driving the two clamping members 4 to move in opposite directions, so as to realize the two clamping members 4 moving closer and further apart. By setting the gear 51 and the rack portion 43, only one driving member 5 is needed to satisfy the movement of the two clamping members 4, which can effectively save costs.

[0051] Preferably, the driving component 5 is a stepper motor to precisely control the output torque. The driving component 5 is installed on the bottom of the outer side of the base 1, and the gear 51 is located inside the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a hole for the output end of the driving component 5 to pass through.

[0052] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the driving component 5 can also be a bidirectional cylinder, with both ends of the bidirectional cylinder connected to the two clamping components 4 respectively, so as to drive the two clamping components 4 to move in opposite directions at the same time, so that they move closer and further away from each other, which can also achieve the same technical effect as this embodiment.

[0053] Not limited to, in order to save costs, this embodiment only sets one driving component 5 to drive the two clamping components 4. In addition to the setting of a single driving component 5, independent driving devices can also be set to drive the two clamping components 4 respectively.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 Between the lifting bracket 2 and the clamping member 4, there is also a first pressure plate 46a, a second pressure plate 46b, a first rubber pad 44, and a second rubber pad 45. There is one first pressure plate 46a, and two second pressure plates 46b, two first rubber pads 44, and two second rubber pads 45. Each clamping member 4 has one first rubber pad 44 and one second rubber pad 45 on its top. The first rubber pads 44 and the second rubber pads 45 are located on both sides of the top of the clamping member 4. The first pressure plate 46a is located on top of the two first rubber pads 44, and the two second pressure plates 46b are located on top of the two second rubber pads 45 respectively. Both the first pressure plate 46a and the second pressure plate 46b have connecting holes 461. The base 1 has connecting posts 11 that cooperate with the connecting holes 461. The connecting posts 11 have holes for connection.

[0055] Specifically, the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate are connected to the corresponding connecting post 11 on the base 1 through the connecting hole 461. The first pressure plate 46a presses the two first rubber pads 44 tightly, and the two second pressure plates 46b press the two second rubber pads 45 tightly respectively. The first rubber pads 44 and the second rubber pads 45 are made of elastic material. Under the pressure of the pressure plate, the clamping member 4 can be subjected to elastic force and pressed tightly, thereby limiting the height of the clamping member 4. At the same time, it can also play a gap-eliminating role, so as to provide a certain damping force during the movement of the clamping member 4, eliminate the shaking generated during the lifting and lowering movement, and make the movement more stable.

[0056] The first pressure plate 46a and the second pressure plate 46b can be connected to the connecting column 11 by screws or other connectors, or by plug-in connection, or by a combination of the two connection methods. The specific choice can be made flexibly according to actual needs.

[0057] Furthermore, each clamping member 4 is equipped with two sliders 47, and the base 1 is provided with a groove 13 that cooperates with the sliders 47. When the clamping member 4 moves, the sliders 47 on the clamping member 4 move synchronously in the groove 13. The sliders 47 and the groove 13 are used to guide and limit the movement of the clamping member 4.

[0058] In addition, a gap-eliminating spring 48 is installed on the slider 47. Under the pressure of the first rubber pad 44 and the second rubber pad 45, the slider 47 is pressed into the groove 13, so that the gap-eliminating spring 48 is tightly abutted against the groove wall and bottom surface of the groove 13, thereby providing damping force when the slider 47 moves, enhancing the overall stability of the device during movement, so as to prevent the lifting bracket 2 from shaking during movement.

[0059] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The base 1 has a hollow mounting post 12 inside. The guide rod 3 slides through the top surface of the mounting post 12. The bottom end of the guide rod 3 has a fixing block 32. The two ends of the elastic member 31 abut against the inner wall of the mounting post 12 and the fixing block 32, respectively.

[0060] Specifically, the fixing block 32 and the bottom end of the guide rod 3 are provided with matching threaded holes. The fixing block 32 can be threaded onto the bottom end of the guide rod 3 by screws or other connecting parts to limit the elastic element 31 on the guide rod 3. The elastic element 31 is located inside the mounting column 12. When the lifting bracket 2 rises, the fixing block 32 rises together with the guide rod 3. At this time, the elastic element 31 is gradually compressed under the action of the inner top surface of the mounting column 12 and the fixing block 32, thereby providing tension for the subsequent descent of the lifting bracket 2 and causing the lifting bracket 2 to reset.

[0061] Preferably, the elastic element 31 is a spring.

[0062] Preferably, the bottom end of the mounting post 12 passes through the bottom of the base 1, thereby communicating with the outside of the base 1, which facilitates the installation and removal of the fixing block 32 and the elastic element 31.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 The claw 42 and the clamping member 4 are an integral structure. The top of the claw 42 is bent to form a locking part 421. By setting the locking part 421, it helps to enhance the clamping effect on the functional product 6. In addition, the claw 42 is perpendicular to the rack part 43 of the clamping member 4. The base 1 has openings 14 on both sides for the claw 42 to pass through. The openings 14 are used to allow the claw 42 to pass through when the clamping member 4 moves, so as to avoid interference.

[0064] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, slots 61 that cooperate with the snap-fit ​​part 421 can be provided on both sides of the functional product 6. The snap-fit ​​part 421 can extend into the slot 61 to hold the functional product 6, thereby achieving a better clamping effect.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0066] like Figure 9 As shown, this is the initial state of the device. At this time, the functional product 6 is stored in the base 1, and the two claws 42 on the left and right clamp the two sides of the functional product 6.

[0067] When functional product 6 is needed, the drive unit 5 drives the two clamping parts 4 to move left and right respectively, causing the chuck 42 to release functional product 6. Then, the inclined surfaces on the first contact block 21 and the second contact block 41 come into contact, converting the left and right movement of the clamping parts 4 into the upward movement of the lifting bracket 2, lifting functional product 6 outside the base 1. Figure 10 The state shown;

[0068] After the functional product 6 is placed back onto the lifting bracket 2, the drive unit 5 is activated, causing the two clamping parts 4 to move closer together. Under the action of the elastic element 31, the lifting bracket 2 descends, retracting the functional product 6 into the base 1. Subsequently, the claws 42 on both sides re-clamp the functional product 6, returning it to its initial state. Figure 9 The state shown.

[0069] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
