Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to an in-vehicle electronic equipment mounting bracket, a seat, a seat assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology, electronic devices are increasingly being used in vehicles, where they can be mounted on the vehicle's structure using mounting brackets. The vehicle environment is characterized by significant vibration, which places higher demands on the reliability of the mounting brackets, requiring them to prevent accidental detachment from the vehicle structure due to vehicle vibration or external forces during use. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this disclosure provides a mounting bracket for vehicle electronic equipment, a seat, a seat assembly, and a vehicle.
[0004] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle-mounted electronic device mounting bracket is provided for mounting electronic devices to a vehicle body structure, comprising:
[0005] The main support body is capable of mounting and securing the electronic device; and
[0006] A snap-fit element, disposed in the bracket body, is compressible into the bracket body to insert into a pre-set fixing port on the vehicle body, and locks into the fixing port after release, wherein: the snap-fit element is configured to achieve a self-locking engagement with the fixing port under the action of an outward pulling force, the outward pulling force including a pulling force to pull the snap-fit element out of the fixing port.
[0007] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure can include the following beneficial effects: The vehicle electronic device mounting bracket provided by this disclosure includes a snap-fit component, which can be compressed into the bracket body to insert into a pre-set fixing hole on the vehicle body, and locked in the fixing hole after release, thereby realizing convenient installation of the bracket. The snap-fit component is configured to self-lock with the fixing hole under outward pulling force, that is, the snap-fit component can autonomously lock with the fixing hole under outward pulling force, preventing the snap-fit component from loosening or detaching from the fixing hole, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the vehicle electronic device mounting bracket and the vehicle body structure, and preventing the mounting bracket from accidentally detaching from the vehicle body structure due to vehicle vibration or external force during use.
[0008] In some possible implementations, the latching element includes a hook portion, and the fixing port includes a latching surface for engaging with the hook portion. The self-locking engagement includes: a sliding constraint between the hook portion and the latching surface under the action of the outward pulling force, or a unidirectional torque driving the hook portion to deflect away from the bracket body. This improves the reliability of the connection between the vehicle electronic mounting bracket and the vehicle structure, balances installation convenience with adaptability to complex working conditions, and simplifies the assembly process and reduces costs through a purely mechanical design.
[0009] In some possible implementations, the hook portion includes a profile that engages with the engaging surface. An angle exists between the profile and the outward pulling direction. This angle, along with the outward pulling force, forms a constraint with a preset relationship to limit the sliding of the hook portion on the engaging surface under the outward pulling force. Thus, by adjusting the angle between the profile and the outward pulling direction, the frictional characteristics of different materials can be adapted, eliminating the need to redesign the contact surface particle density or shape for different application scenarios, thereby improving versatility.
[0010] In some possible implementations, the locking member further includes a handle, a hook portion disposed at a first end of the handle, and a second end of the handle rotatably connected to the bracket body. A straight line perpendicular to the plane of the locking surface and passing through the rotation center of the locking member intersects the plane of the locking surface. The tip of the hook portion that contacts the locking surface is offset from the intersection point, and the tip is closer to the bracket body than the intersection point. This structure enables unidirectional torque transmission without additional power, ensuring the stability and reliability of the self-locking engagement.
[0011] In some possible implementations, the hook portion is subjected to pressure from the engaging surface under the outward pulling force. The component of this pressure along the plane of the engaging surface causes the hook portion to deflect away from the main body of the bracket. This increases the locking force as the pulling force increases, which helps to avoid the problem of locking force attenuation caused by material fatigue in traditional elastic cantilever buckles.
[0012] In some possible implementations, an elastic element is provided between the snap-fit component and the bracket body. This elastic element provides a resilient force to maintain the snap-fit component in its engaged position with the fixing port. This helps to further improve the reliability of the snap-fit between the snap-fit component and the fixing port.
[0013] In some possible implementations, the latching member further includes a pressing portion disposed on the side of the latching member opposite to the elastic element, which is operated to be pressed to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element. Its structure is simple and easy to operate, which is beneficial for providing reliable operating force.
[0014] In some possible implementations, the snap-fit components include multiple components, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides and / or top and bottom sides of the bracket body. This helps to further improve the reliability of the connection between the vehicle electronic equipment mounting bracket and the vehicle body structure.
[0015] In some possible implementations, the vehicle-mounted electronic device mounting bracket further includes a charging module disposed on the bracket body, the charging module including charging interface contacts for connection to the vehicle's internal circuitry. This facilitates expanding the functionality of the vehicle-mounted electronic device mounting bracket and improves its versatility.
[0016] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a seat is provided, the seat back being provided with a fixing port, the fixing port being used for engaging with the vehicle electronic device mounting bracket of any of the above-mentioned embodiments.
[0017] In some possible implementations, the snap-fit component includes a snap hook portion, and the fixing port includes a snap-fit surface that engages with the snap hook portion, wherein the angle between the snap-fit surface and the outward pulling force direction is constrained by the outward pulling force in a preset relationship to limit the sliding of the snap hook portion on the snap-fit surface under the action of the outward pulling force.
[0018] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a seat assembly is provided, including the vehicle electronic equipment mounting bracket of any one of the above and the seat of any one of the above.
[0019] According to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle is provided that includes a seat assembly comprising any one of the foregoing embodiments.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, this exemplary embodiment provides a vehicle-mounted electronic device mounting bracket 100, suitable for mounting electronic devices to the vehicle body structure. The electronic devices include, but are not limited to, portable mobile electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, or fixed electronic devices such as vehicle-mounted displays.
[0036] The electronic device mounting bracket 100 provided in this disclosure includes a bracket body 1 and a snap-fit component 2. The bracket body 1 is capable of mounting and fixing electronic devices, for example, by clamping or magnetic attraction. The snap-fit component 2 is disposed in the bracket body 1 and can be compressed into the bracket body 1 to insert into a pre-set mounting slot 200 on the vehicle body, and locks into the mounting slot after release. The outward pulling force includes a pulling force that pulls the snap-fit component 2 out of the mounting slot 200. The snap-fit component 2 is configured to achieve a self-locking engagement with the mounting slot 200 under the action of the outward pulling force. For ease of explanation and force analysis, in the following description, the direction of the pulling force is defined as the direction perpendicular to the plane where the mounting slot 200 is located, and "inside" and "outside" refer to the internal space and external space of the mounting slot 200.
[0037] The mounting port 200 can be positioned anywhere on the vehicle body where needed, such as behind the front seat back or on the center console. The snap-fit connector 2 and the mounting port 200 use a quick-release snap-fit connection. During the installation of the vehicle electronic device mounting bracket 100 onto the vehicle body structure, the snap-fit connector 2 can be pressed into the bracket body 1 by pressing it inwards or by utilizing the squeezing force provided by the inner wall of the mounting port 200, causing it to compress into the bracket body 1 and insert into the pre-set mounting port 200 on the vehicle body. Upon release, it locks into the mounting port 200. Removal is simple: just press the snap-fit connector 2 back into the bracket body 1 to disengage it from the mounting port 200, and then pull the mounting port 200 outwards.
[0038] While snap-fit connections offer ease of installation, their reliability is somewhat lower than that of bolted or other fastening methods. For example, the vehicle environment is characterized by significant vibration, which places higher demands on the reliability of the bracket installation. The vehicle electronic device mounting bracket 100 disclosed herein features a snap-fit component 2 configured to self-lock with the fixing port 200 under outward pulling force. This self-locking refers to the locking state maintained autonomously between the snap-fit component 2 and the fixing port 200 under outward pulling force, preventing the snap-fit component 2 from loosening or detaching from the fixing port 200. This improves the reliability of the connection between the vehicle electronic device mounting bracket 100 and the vehicle body structure, preventing the mounting bracket from accidentally detaching from the vehicle body structure due to vehicle vibration or external forces during use.
[0039] Various methods can be used to achieve a self-locking engagement between the latching member 2 and the fixing port 200 under outward pulling force. In some possible embodiments, the latching member 2 includes a hook portion 22, and the fixing port 200 includes a latching surface 210 for engaging with the hook portion 22. The self-locking engagement includes: a sliding constraint between the hook portion 22 and the latching surface 210 under outward pulling force, or a unidirectional torque that drives the hook portion 22 to deflect away from the bracket body 1. Through the sliding constraint and unidirectional torque deflection design between the hook portion 22 and the latching surface 210, the reliability of the connection between the vehicle electronic mounting bracket and the vehicle body structure can be improved, taking into account both installation convenience and adaptability to complex working conditions. The pure mechanical design simplifies the assembly process and reduces costs. In other possible embodiments, magnetic locking or locking can also be achieved by adding a pre-tightening structure, which will not be elaborated in this disclosure.
[0040] The sliding constraint between the hook portion 22 and the engaging surface 210 refers to the ability to avoid or minimize relative sliding between the hook portion 22 and the engaging surface 210 under outward pulling force, preventing the hook portion 22 from disengaging from the engaging surface 210 and causing the engagement to fail. Some embodiments that can achieve the sliding constraint between the hook portion 22 and the engaging surface 210 include... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the hook portion 22 includes a profile 221 that engages with the snap-fit surface 210. There is an angle between the profile 221 and the outward pulling direction. This angle and the outward pulling force are constrained by a preset relationship to limit the sliding of the hook portion 22 on the snap-fit surface 210 under the action of the outward pulling force.
[0041] When the mounting bracket is pulled outward, assume the tension is 2. Depending on the number of latching members 2, for example, in an implementation with two latching members 2, the tensile force is evenly distributed between the two latching members 2; that is, the tensile force on one side of the latching member 2 is... Force analysis was performed on the hook portion 22 on one side.
[0042]
[0043]
[0044]
[0045] in, The outward pulling force on the hook part. For the snap-fit surface under tensile force The pressure exerted by the action, for Component of force along the profile, for The component of the force perpendicular to the profile surface, The angle between the profile and the direction of the tensile force. For friction, It is the static friction coefficient.
[0046] From the above force analysis, it can be seen that theoretically, as long as This ensures that the hook part 22 does not move on the locking surface 210 during the outward pulling process. Therefore, as long as the parameters are correct... and Adjustments can be made to ensure the reliability of the connection. Among these adjustments, It is mainly affected by the type of material selected; that is, once the selected material is determined, That is, at this point, the angle between the adjustment surface 221 and the direction of the outward pulling force is determined. The design parameters are designed to achieve the purpose of sliding constraint. For example, both the hook portion 22 and the contact surface 210 are made of polycarbonate (PC) material. The value ranges from 0.3 to 0.4. Calculations show that when... The value ranges from 0 to 68.2° and satisfies the condition. Therefore, by adjusting the angle between the profile 221 and the outward pulling direction, the friction characteristics of different materials can be adapted, without the need to redesign the particle density or shape of the contact surface for different application scenarios, which helps to improve versatility.
[0047] In addition to using parameters and In addition to the adjustment method, in other embodiments, the sliding constraint between the hook portion 22 and the contact surface 210 can also be achieved by increasing the static friction coefficient of the contact surface between the two. For example, particles that can increase friction can be provided on the contact surface between the hook portion 22 and the contact surface 210. This disclosure will not elaborate on this further.
[0048] The unidirectional torque that drives the hook portion 22 to deflect away from the bracket body 1 means that under the action of outward pulling force, even if the hook portion 22 moves relative to the engaging surface 210, it opens in the engaging direction, making the fastening tighter. If the mounting bracket is pushed inward in the opposite direction, it is only necessary to limit the inward pushing space in the structure to ensure that the hook portion 22 does not disengage from the engaging surface 210.
[0049] Some embodiments of achieving a unidirectional torque that drives the hook portion 22 to deflect away from the bracket body 1 under the action of outward pulling force include, for example Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the locking member 2 also includes a handle 21, with a hook 22 disposed at the first end of the handle 21. The second end of the handle 21 is rotatably connected to the bracket body 1. A straight line perpendicular to the plane of the locking surface 210 and passing through the rotation center of the locking member 2 intersects the plane of the locking surface 210 at point A. The tip B of the hook 22, which contacts the locking surface 210, deviates from point A and is closer to the bracket body 1 than point A. This structural design, where the tip B of the hook 22 deviates from the rotation center intersection point A and is closer to the bracket body 1, creates a unidirectional torque drive base. When the locking member 2 is subjected to force, the difference in lever arm between the tip B and the rotation center R causes it to tend to deflect away from the bracket body 1. This structure achieves unidirectional torque transmission without additional power, ensuring the stability and reliability of the self-locking fit.
[0050] In some possible embodiments, the hook portion 22 is subjected to pressure from the engaging surface 210 under the action of an outward pulling force. The component of this pressure along the plane of the engaging surface 210 causes the hook portion 22 to deflect away from the bracket body 1. A force analysis is performed on the hook portion 22. From the rotation center of the engaging member 2... The perpendicular to the snap-fit surface 210 intersects at point A, and the tip of the snap hook 22 that contacts the snap-fit surface is point B. Apply pressure... Decomposed into a uniformly distributed force, if the hook portion 22 is long enough, the pressure on the hook portion 22 at point A will not generate rotation. A clockwise rotational torque will be generated to the left of point A (i.e., the side closer to the support body 1), and a counterclockwise rotational torque will be generated to the right of point A (i.e., the side farther from the support body 1). This disclosure configures the hook portion 22 such that the tip B is located at the intersection point A on the side closer to the support body 1. Therefore, the hook portion 22 will only be subjected to a clockwise torque, thereby achieving the purpose of self-locking. This makes the locking force increase with the increase of the tensile force, which helps to avoid the problem of locking force attenuation caused by material fatigue in traditional elastic cantilever buckles.
[0051] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an elastic element 3 is provided between the snap-fit component 2 and the bracket body 1. This elastic element 3 can be a compression spring or a rubber component. The elastic element 3 provides the elastic force to maintain the snap-fit component 2 in the engaging position with the fixing port 200, which helps to further improve the reliability of the snap-fit between the snap-fit component 2 and the fixing port 200. In other embodiments, the elastic element 3 may be omitted, and instead, an elastic material can be used to integrally mold the bracket body 1 and the snap-fit component 2. One end of the snap-fit component 2 is connected to the bracket body 1, and the other end is formed as a suspended free end, which can also achieve the purpose of elastic snap-fit.
[0052] In some possible embodiments, the latching member 2 further includes a pressing portion 24, which is disposed on the side of the latching member 2 opposite to the elastic member 3, and is used to be pressed to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 3. Using the pressing portion 24 to compress the latching member 2 inward has a simple structure and is easy to operate, which helps to provide a reliable operating force. Furthermore, the surface of the pressing portion 24 can be set as a non-smooth surface to increase friction during operation, further improving operational reliability.
[0053] In some possible implementations, the snap-fit members 2 include multiple snap-fit members 2, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides and / or the top and bottom sides of the bracket body 1. Figure 3 The embodiment shown includes two symmetrically arranged snap-fit members 2. By providing multiple snap-fit members 2, the vehicle electronic equipment mounting bracket 100 can be connected to the vehicle body structure at multiple points, which helps to further improve the reliability of the connection between the vehicle electronic equipment mounting bracket 100 and the vehicle body structure.
[0054] In some embodiments, the vehicle electronic device mounting bracket 100 may further include a charging module 4 disposed on the bracket body 1, the charging module 4 including charging interface contacts 41 for connection with the vehicle body's internal circuitry. This facilitates the expansion of the functionality of the vehicle electronic device mounting bracket 100, improves the versatility of the mounting bracket, and increases space utilization by eliminating the need for a separate charging interface. Furthermore, the reliable connection between the mounting bracket and the vehicle body structure provides a more stable charging environment.
[0055] The following describes an embodiment of the mounting bracket 100 for assembling vehicle-mounted electronic equipment, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main body 1 of the bracket adopts a split design, including: a support member 11 and a first housing 121 and a second housing 122 disposed on the upper and lower sides of the support member 11. The support member 11 is used to install the snap-fit member 2 and the charging module 4. The charging module 4 is screwed to the support member 11 using small screws. One end of the handle 21 of the snap-fit member 2 is formed as a hook portion 22, and the other end is formed as a rotating connection portion 25, which is rotatably connected to the support member 11. The support member 11 is provided with a through elastic element mounting hole 111, and elastic elements such as compression springs are installed in the elastic element mounting hole 111, providing elastic force to both sides of the snap-fit member 2 to maintain it in the snap-fit position. A mounting guide post 23 is provided on the side of the snap-fit member 2 facing the compression spring, and the compression spring is sleeved on the mounting guide post 23, which guides the movement of the snap-fit member 2.
[0057] After the charging module 4 and the snap-fit component 2 are installed on the carrier 11, the first housing 121 and the second housing 122 are then installed. The carrier 11 has a through-hole locating guide post mounting hole 112, and the second housing 122 has a locating guide post 1221. The locating guide post 1221 can be inserted into the locating guide post mounting hole 112. Then, the first housing 121 is installed. The first housing 121 has a bolt mounting hole 1211 corresponding to the position of the locating guide post mounting hole 112. The locating guide post 1221 has a threaded hole. The fastening bolt 14 passes through the bolt mounting hole 1211 and is threaded into the locating guide post mounting hole 112, thereby connecting the carrier 11, the first housing 121, and the second housing 122 together. Adhesive is applied to the dispensing grooves on both sides of the first housing 121 and the second housing 122, and then the decorative cover plate 13 is bonded to both sides of the first housing 121 and the second housing 122. The decorative cover plate 13 is provided with a pressing part operation hole 131, so that the pressing part 24 is exposed to the bracket body 1 for pressing operation.
[0058] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, a seat is also provided. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the seat back is provided with a fixing port 200, which is used to engage with the vehicle electronic equipment mounting bracket 100 of any of the above-mentioned items.
[0059] In some possible embodiments, the fixing port 200 includes a locking surface 210 that engages with the hook portion 22, and the locking surface 210 mates with the surface of the hook portion 22. The angle between the locking surface 210 and the outward pulling force direction is constrained by a preset relationship with the outward pulling force to limit the sliding of the hook portion 22 on the locking surface 210 under the action of the outward pulling force. The principle and parameter adjustment of the sliding constraint formed by the angle between the locking surface 210 and the outward pulling force direction and the outward pulling force are similar to the aforementioned sliding constraint formed by the angle between the surface 221 of the hook portion 22 and the outward pulling force direction and the outward pulling force, and will not be repeated here.
[0060] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of this disclosure, a seat assembly is also provided, such as Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle electronic device mounting bracket 100 includes any of the above-mentioned components and the seat includes any of the above-mentioned components, and has all of their beneficial effects.
[0061] According to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle is also provided, including any of the above-described seat assemblies.

Thus, depending on the spatial orientation of the device, the term “above” encompasses both above and below orientations. Devices may have other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.
