Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of touchpad fixing mechanisms, and more particularly to a touchpad fixing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] The touchpad mounting mechanism is a component assembly used to stably install in-vehicle touchscreens and touch control panels on structures such as the center console and dashboard inside the vehicle. Its function is to ensure that the touch devices do not loosen or shift under vibration and bumps during vehicle operation.
[0003] The design of such fixing mechanisms needs to closely fit the special characteristics of the vehicle environment. In the existing technology, the method of using screws as fasteners to install the touch screen on the center console frame is more common. Although this traditional fixing method can meet the basic installation strength requirements, it has gradually revealed the problem of insufficient adaptability to the vehicle environment in actual application.
[0004] The existing touchpad fixing mechanism adopts a fixed design, which has the disadvantages of inconvenient disassembly and inability to be adjusted according to the size of the touchpad, resulting in poor adaptability. This not only increases the difficulty of disassembly, but also makes it difficult to adapt to touchpads of different specifications, which has obvious limitations in actual use. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a touchpad fixing mechanism, which aims to improve the existing technology and solve the problems of inconvenient disassembly of the touchpad fixing mechanism and inability to adapt to touchpads of different sizes.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a touch panel fixing mechanism, comprising a touch panel, with buckles abutting on both sides of the touch panel, an adjusting plate fixedly connected to the outer side of each of the two buckles, a rack fixedly connected inside each of the two adjusting plates, a plurality of springs fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting plate away from the buckles, a support plate fixedly connected to the end of the plurality of springs away from the adjusting plate, and a gear rotatably connected inside the support plate.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: a support hook is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate, a housing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support hook, a spring spring is provided on both sides of the inside of the housing, a spool is rotatably connected inside the housing, and a dust cover is fixedly connected to the outside of the spool.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the rack meshes with the gear.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the top of the dust cover is fixedly connected to a hook, and the bottom of the hook abuts against the top of the touch panel.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the dust cover is rotatably connected inside the outer shell.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the spool.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: the rack is slidably connected inside the support plate.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: the dust cover is disposed outside the touch panel, the side of the touch panel away from the dust cover abuts against the outside of the support plate, and the top of the support hook abuts against the bottom of the touch panel.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, when installing the touchpad, pulling the buckle outward causes the rack and gear to rotate inside the adjusting plate, allowing the touchpad to be placed inside the support hook and releasing the buckle. Under the elastic force of the spring, it automatically locks. When disassembling, pulling the buckle outward again removes the touchpad. At this time, the spring drives the adjusting plate to reset. In addition, the adjusting plate can be adaptively adjusted according to different sizes of touchpads and is firmly locked under the elastic force of the spring, thus solving the problems of cumbersome disassembly and difficulty in adapting to various sizes of touchpads in traditional touchpad mechanisms.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, when the touchpad is not in use, the hook is pulled upwards, and the spring rotates inside the housing, causing the dust cover to rotate inside the housing. At this time, the hook abuts against the top of the touchpad and covers the touchpad. When the touchpad needs to be used, the hook is released, and with the help of the spring's restoring force, the dust cover automatically rotates back and retracts into the housing, thus solving the problem of dust accumulation and cleaning difficulties when the touchpad is not in use.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a touchpad fixing mechanism, including a touchpad 11. Both sides of the touchpad 11 are abutted by latches 4, which are used to fix the touchpad 11 and prevent it from moving left or right. Adjusting plates 5 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of both latches 4, and the adjusting plates 5 are used to adjust the size of different touchpad 11 sizes. Racks 7 are fixedly connected inside both adjusting plates 5, and the racks 7 are used to rotate with gears 9 to adjust the size of the touchpad 11. Multiple springs are fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting plate 5 away from the latches 4. Spring 8 provides a restoring force to the adjustment plate 5 and the latch 4 through the elastic force of spring 8, so that the latch 4 always abuts against the outside of the touch panel 11. The end of multiple springs 8 away from the adjustment plate 5 is fixedly connected to the support plate 6 to provide support force and ensure the stability of each component. Gear 9 is rotatably connected inside the support plate 6. Rack 7 meshes with gear 9 and is slidably connected inside the support plate 6. The gear 9 drives rack 7 to move left and right inside the support plate 6 to adjust the size, and the restoring force of spring 8 is used to lock the touch panel 11.
[0025] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4A support hook 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 6, providing a place for the touchpad 11 and preventing it from wobbling up and down. A housing 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support hook 10, protecting the internal components. Springs 13 are installed on both sides of the inside of the housing 2, providing power to the scroll 12 through elastic deformation. The scroll 12 is rotatably connected inside the housing 2, allowing the dust cover 1 to be unfolded and retracted. A dust cover 1 is fixedly connected to the outside of the scroll 12, covering the surface of the touchpad 11 to prevent dust and protect it. A hook 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the dust cover 1, facilitating the unfolding and retraction of the dust cover 1. The bottom of the hook 3 abuts against the top of the touchpad 11. The dust cover 1 is fixed to the top of the dust cover 1 to ensure that the dust cover 1 can tightly cover the surface of the touch panel 11 when unfolded. The dust cover 1 is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer shell 2. One end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the other end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the spool 12. Pulling the spring 13 of the dust cover 1 drives the spool 12 to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic winding of the dust cover 1. The dust cover 1 is set outside the touch panel 11. The side of the touch panel 11 away from the dust cover 1 abuts against the outside of the support plate 6. The top of the support hook 10 abuts against the bottom of the touch panel 11. The dust cover 1 wraps around the outside of the touch panel 11. The other side of the touch panel 11 abuts against the support plate 6. The support hook 10 supports the touch panel 11 from the bottom.
[0026] Working principle: When installing the touchpad 11, pull the latch 4 outward, which will cause the rack 7 and gear 9 to rotate inside the support plate 6, allowing the touchpad 11 to be smoothly placed inside the support hook 10. After releasing the latch 4, the touchpad 11 will automatically lock under the elastic force of the spring 8. When disassembly is required, pull the latch 4 outward again to remove the touchpad 11. At this time, the spring 8 will drive the adjustment plate 5 to reset. In addition, the adjustment plate 5 can be adjusted according to different sizes of touchpads 11 and is firmly locked under the elastic force of the spring 8, thus solving the problems of cumbersome disassembly and difficulty in adapting to various sizes of touchpads in traditional touchpad mechanisms.
[0027] When the touchpad is not in use, pull up the hook 3. The spring 13 rotates inside the housing 2, causing the dust cover 1 to rotate inside the housing 2. At this time, the hook 3 abuts against the top of the touchpad 11 and covers the touchpad 11. When the touchpad is in use, release the hook 3. The return force of the spring 13 causes the dust cover 1 to automatically rotate and rewind back into the housing 2, thus solving the problem of dust accumulation and cleaning difficulties when the touchpad is not in use.
[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. 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.
