[0002] This application is based on and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2025215758190, filed on July 25, 2025, entitled "An Accessory for an Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of support technology, and in particular to a drive device and an automatically deployable support shell. Background Technology

[0004] The shell structure of the bracket can be used to install electronic devices. By flipping the bracket, the bracket supports the shell structure, allowing the electronic devices to be supported at different angles on various planes.

[0005] In related technologies, the support frame of the bracket shell needs to be manually flipped and pried open by the user in order to support the shell structure and electronic equipment. The operation process is cumbersome and inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the main objective of the embodiments of this application is to provide a convenient driving device and an automatically deployable support shell.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0008] A first aspect of this application provides a driving device for driving connection with a bracket, the driving device comprising:

[0009] A drive assembly, the drive assembly including a connecting line, one end of the connecting line being disposed on the bracket, and at least a portion of the drive assembly having a driving force to drive the bracket to rotate to a supported state via the connecting line;

[0010] The locking component is in a locked state when it locks the area of ​​the driving component that has a driving force, and the bracket is in a retracted state; when it unlocks the area of ​​the driving component that has a driving force, the bracket is in a supported state, and the locking component can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state by movement.

[0011] In one embodiment, the connecting line is an elastic pull rope. When the locking component is in the locked state, the elastic pull rope is in the stretched state, and the locking component locks the elastic pull rope to restrict its contraction. When the locking component releases the lock on the elastic pull rope, the elastic pull rope contracts to drive the bracket to rotate to the supported state.

[0012] In one embodiment, the driving assembly further includes a driving member with driving force, one end of which is drivenly connected to the bracket via the connecting line. The locking assembly locks the driving member by abutting against it, and the locking assembly releases the locking of the driving member by moving.

[0013] In one embodiment, the driving element is a driving spring, and when the locking component is in the locked state, the driving spring is in the stretched state.

[0014] In one embodiment, the end of the drive member connected to the connecting line has a first abutment portion, and the locking component has a second abutment portion; one of the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion is an abutment groove, and the other is an abutment protrusion. The abutment protrusion abuts against the groove wall of the abutment groove by engaging with the abutment groove, thereby locking the drive member by the locking component; the abutment protrusion releases the locking component from the drive member by disengaging from the abutment groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, the bracket includes a bracket body and a rotating shaft disposed on the bracket body, wherein one end of the connecting line connected to the bracket is located on the opposite side of the rotating shaft from the bracket body.

[0016] In one embodiment, the locking assembly includes a button and an elastic element, the button having a pressing end and a connecting end opposite to the pressing end, and the elastic element being connected to the connecting end and the housing respectively;

[0017] The locking component has a second abutment portion, and the driving component has a third abutment portion. When the locking component is in the unlocked state, the third abutment portion abuts against the second abutment portion to restrict the button reset.

[0018] In one embodiment, a portion of the connecting end protrudes to form an abutting protrusion, the abutting protrusion being the second abutting portion, and the driving component having a side abutting surface on the side near the connecting end, the side abutting surface being the third abutting portion.

[0019] In one embodiment, the end of the drive member connected to the connecting line has a positioning part; when the locking component is in the unlocked state, the positioning part is positioned and engaged with the locking component so that the bracket is in the supported state with a set rotation angle.

[0020] In one embodiment, a portion of the driving member near the locking component is recessed to form a positioning groove. The positioning part includes the positioning groove, and a portion of the locking component is movably disposed in the positioning groove. When the locking component is in the unlocked state, the locking component fits against the groove wall of the positioning groove.

[0021] A second aspect of this application provides an automatically deployable support shell, the automatically deployable support shell including a support and any of the above-described driving devices, the driving device being drivenly connected to the support.

[0022] This application provides a driving device and an automatically deployable support shell. The driving device is used to drive the support and includes a driving component and a locking component. The driving component includes a connecting line, one end of which is disposed on the support. At least a portion of the driving component has a driving force to drive the support to rotate to a supported state via the connecting line. When the locking component is in a locked state, locking the area of ​​the driving component with driving force, the support is in a retracted state; when the locking component is in an unlocked state, releasing the lock on the area of ​​the driving component with driving force, the support is in a supported state. The locking component can switch between the locked and unlocked states by movement. On one hand, the user can trigger the locking component to release the lock on the area of ​​the driving component with driving force, thereby enabling the driving component to drive the support to rotate, switching from the retracted state to the supported state. Thus, triggering the locking component to automatically deploy the support eliminates the need for the user to manually fold and pry open the support, making user operation more convenient. On the other hand, under the driving force of the driving component, the support is pulled and rotated by the connecting line. Because it uses a connecting line pulling method, it can change the direction of force transmission, which makes it easier to arrange the position of other structures of the locking component or drive component. At the same time, it can also simplify the overall structure of the drive device, thereby making it easier to achieve a thinner and lighter automatic unfolding bracket shell.

[0037] One embodiment of this application provides a driving device 60, please refer to 3. Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The drive unit 60 is used to drive the bracket 20. The drive unit 60 includes a drive assembly 30 and a locking assembly 40.

[0038] The drive assembly 30 includes a connecting line 31, one end of which is disposed on the bracket 20. At least a portion of the drive assembly 30 has a driving force to drive the bracket 20 to rotate to a supported state via the connecting line 31.

[0039] When the locking component 40 is in a locked state, locking the area of ​​the driving component 30 that has a driving force, the bracket 20 is in a retracted state; when the locking component 40 is in an unlocked state, releasing the area of ​​the driving component 30 that has a driving force, the bracket 20 is in a supported state, and the locking component 40 can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state by moving.

[0040] Another embodiment of this application provides an automatically deployable support shell; please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 11 The automatically unfolding support shell includes a support 20 and a driving device 60 as described in any embodiment of this application, and the driving device 60 is drivingly connected to the support 20.

[0041] Specifically, the drive unit 60 can be driven in conjunction with the bracket 20, and it can be applied to any device having the bracket 20. For ease of description, this application uses the drive unit 60 for automatically deploying the bracket housing as an example.

[0042] The automatically deployable stand case can be any type of electronic device stand case structure. For example, a phone stand case.

[0043] In fact, please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 11 The automatically deployable support shell includes a shell 10, a support 20, and a drive device 60.

[0044] The housing 10 is used to install electronic equipment. By rotating the bracket 20, the bracket 20 is extended to a supporting state, thereby supporting the housing 10 and the electronic equipment.

[0045] Please see Figure 6 The bracket 20 is rotatably mounted on the housing 10 so as to switch between a stored state and a supported state by rotation.

[0046] One end of the connecting line 31 is set on the bracket 20, and the other end is set on the housing 10.

[0047] The locking component 40 is movably disposed on the housing 10. The locking component 40 has a locked state that locks the area of ​​the driving component 30 that has driving force, and an unlocked state that releases the lock on the area of ​​the driving component 30 that has driving force.

[0048] The stowed state of the bracket 20 is when it is stowed onto the housing 10, at which point the angle between the bracket 20 and the housing 10 is at its minimum. For example, the angle between the bracket 20 and the housing 10 is 0°.

[0049] The support state of the bracket 20 is when the bracket 20 is rotated to the support position to support the housing 10. At this time, the angle between the bracket 20 and the housing 10 is larger than the angle in the stored state.

[0050] The bracket 20 is rotatable relative to the housing 10. By rotating, the bracket 20 can switch between a storage state and a support state.

[0051] The drive unit 60 can be triggered by the user to drive the bracket 20 to rotate from the stored state to the supported state.

[0052] Among them, the drive component 30 is a structure with a driving effect. When the locking component 40 releases the lock on the drive component 30, the drive component 30 can drive the bracket 20 to switch from the storage state to the support state.

[0053] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the drive component 30 may consist only of the connecting line 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the drive component 30 may include other drive structures in addition to the connecting line 31.

[0054] It should be noted that the connecting line 31 is a linear structure that can achieve a connecting effect, such as a pull rope, silicone strip, or cloth strip.

[0055] One end of the connecting line 31 is connected to the bracket 20, while the other end is disposed on the housing 10. It should be noted that the end of the connecting line 31 facing away from the bracket 20 can be directly connected to the housing 10, or it can be indirectly connected to the housing 10 through other structures (such as other drive structures). It needs to be determined according to the specific arrangement of the drive assembly 30.

[0056] Depending on the specific circumstances, the drive component 30 may have driving force in only a portion of its area or in all of its areas. Furthermore, the driving force of the drive component 30 varies depending on its structure.

[0057] For example, the connecting line 31 is an elastic rope, and the driving force includes the elastic force of the connecting line 31.

[0058] For example, the drive assembly 30 includes a connecting line 31 and a drive spring, and the driving force includes the elastic force of the drive spring.

[0059] For example, the drive component 30 includes a connecting line 31 and a magnetic structure, and the driving force includes the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic structure.

[0060] The locking component 40 is a structure provided on the housing 10 for locking and unlocking the drive component 30. In fact, the locking component 40 can be triggered by the user so that the locking component 40 can move relative to the housing 10.

[0061] The locking component 40 and the driving component 30 have two different cooperation methods. Specifically, when the user does not trigger the locking component 40, it can lock the area of ​​the driving component 30 that has driving force, thereby restricting the movement of the driving component 30 and preventing the driving component 30 from driving the bracket 20 from the retracted state to the supported state, thus keeping the bracket 20 in the retracted state. When the user needs to unfold the bracket 20, the user triggers the locking component 40, causing it to move and release the locking effect on the area of ​​the driving component 30 that has driving force. Pressing the component 40 does not restrict the movement of the driving component 30, and therefore does not prevent the driving component 30 from driving the bracket 20. Thus, the bracket 20 can automatically rotate from the retracted state to the supported state under the drive of the driving component 30, thereby supporting the housing 10.

[0062] It should be noted that the initial position of the locking component 40 is in the position where the drive component 30 is locked. At this time, the locking component 40 is in the locked state, and the bracket 20 is in the retracted state. The user can trigger the locking component 40 to move it to the position where the drive component 30 is unlocked, thereby preventing the drive component 30 from driving the bracket 20 to rotate. When the user no longer needs to use the bracket 20 for support, the bracket 20 rotates to reset the drive component 30. At this time, the locking component 40 can also be moved back to its initial position to relock the drive component 30.

[0063] It should be noted that the specific method by which the bracket 20 switches from the supported state to the retracted state is not limited. For example, the bracket 20 can be manually closed by the user to rotate it into the retracted state. Of course, depending on the specific cooperation between the locking component 40 and the drive component 30, the bracket 20 can also automatically rotate into the retracted state. For example, the user can trigger the locking component 40 again to make the bracket 20 rotate back to the retracted state, and the drive component 30 will reset.

[0064] In the driving device 60 of this application embodiment, the driving device 60 is used for driving connection with the bracket 20. The driving device 60 includes a driving component 30 and a locking component 40. The driving component 30 includes a connecting line 31, one end of which is disposed on the bracket 20. At least a portion of the driving component 30 has a driving force to drive the bracket 20 to rotate to a supported state via the connecting line 31. When the locking component 40 is in a locked state, locking the area of ​​the driving component 30 with driving force, the bracket 20 is in a retracted state; when the locking component 40 is in an unlocked state, releasing the lock on the area of ​​the driving component 30 with driving force, the bracket 20 is in a supported state. The locking component 40 can switch between the locked and unlocked states by movement. On one hand, the user can trigger the locking component 40 to release the lock on the area of ​​the driving component 30 with driving force, thereby enabling the driving component 30 to drive the bracket 20 to rotate, switching from the retracted state to the supported state. Thus, triggering the locking component 40 can automatically unfold the bracket without the user having to manually fold and pry open the bracket 20, making user operation more convenient. On the other hand, under the driving force of the drive component 30, the bracket 20 is pulled and rotated by the connecting line 31. Since the connecting line 31 is used to pull, the direction of force transmission can be changed, which makes it easier to arrange the position of the locking component 40 or other structures of the drive component 30. At the same time, it can also simplify the overall structure of the drive device 60, thereby making it easier to achieve a thinner and lighter automatic unfolding bracket shell.

[0065] In one embodiment, the connecting line 31 is an elastic pull cord. When the locking component 40 is in the locked state, the elastic pull cord is in the stretched state, and the locking component 40 locks the elastic pull cord to restrict its retraction. When the locking component 40 releases the lock on the elastic pull cord, the elastic pull cord retracts to rotate the bracket 20 to the supported state. This simplifies the structure of the drive device 60, thereby further achieving a thinner and lighter automatic deployment bracket shell.

[0066] Specifically, the elastic pull cord is a pull cord structure with elastic force. When the locking component 40 is in the locked state, the bracket 20 is in the retracted state, the elastic pull cord is in the stretched state, and the elastic pull cord applies tension to both the bracket 20 and the housing 10. By locking the elastic pull cord, the locking component 40 can prevent the movement of the elastic pull cord, thereby preventing the bracket 20 from rotating, thus keeping the bracket 20 in the retracted state.

[0067] When the user triggers the locking component 40, the locking component 40 moves to release the lock on the elastic pull cord. The locking component 40 does not hinder the movement of the elastic pull cord. The elastic pull cord retracts and pulls the bracket 20 to rotate under its own elastic force, thereby causing the bracket 20 to rotate from the storage state to the support state.

[0068] It should be noted that the automatically deployable support shell can rotate the support 20 from the retracted state to the supported state solely through the elastic pull cord. Of course, depending on the actual situation, in addition to the elastic pull cord drive, other drive structures can be added to the automatically deployable support shell to jointly drive the rotation of the support 20.

[0069] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 30 also includes a drive member 32 with driving force. One end of the drive member 32 is driven to the bracket 20 via a connecting line 31. The locking assembly 40 locks the drive member 32 by abutting against it, and the locking assembly 40 can release the lock on the drive member 32 by moving.

[0070] In fact, the other end of the drive unit 32 is set on the housing 10.

[0071] Furthermore, the drive element 32 has a driving force, and the connecting line 31 can transmit the driving force of the drive element 32 to the bracket 20. (See also...) Figures 7 to 10 When the locking component 40 is in the unlocked position of the drive member 32, the drive member 32 can transmit driving force through the connecting line 31 to drive the bracket 20 to rotate from the stored state to the supported state. When the locking component 40 is in the locked position of the drive member 32, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 2 to 4 The locking component 40 can restrict the movement of the drive component 32, thereby preventing the drive component 32 from driving the bracket 20 to rotate via the connecting line 31. This facilitates the rotation of the bracket 20, enabling the drive device 60 to automatically unfold the bracket 20 with a single button press.

[0072] It should be noted that the specific structure of the drive component 32 is not limited.

[0073] For example, the driving component 32 is a driving spring. When the locking component 40 is in the locked state, the driving spring is in the stretched state. That is, the connecting line 31 is connected to the housing 10 through the driving spring. Thus, when the user triggers the locking component 40, the locking component 40 moves to release the locking of the driving spring, causing the driving spring to contract. Under the action of its own elastic force, the driving spring drives the connecting line 31 to move, thereby pulling the bracket 20 to rotate. In this way, the transmission of driving force can be achieved well, ensuring the rotation effect of the bracket 20.

[0074] The specific method by which the locking component 40 abuts against the driving component 32 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0075] For example, please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10The drive component 32 has a first abutment portion at the end connected to the connecting line 31, and the locking component 40 has a second abutment portion. One of the first and second abutment portions is an abutment groove 32a, and the other is an abutment protrusion 41. The abutment protrusion 41 engages with the groove wall of the abutment groove 32a, thereby locking the drive component 32 by the locking component 40. The abutment protrusion 41 disengages from the abutment groove 32a, thereby releasing the locking component 40 from the drive component 32. Therefore, when the user does not trigger the locking component 40, it provides a good limiting effect on the drive component 32. Simultaneously, when the user triggers the locking component 40, it can easily release the locking component 32, facilitating one-button deployment of the bracket by the drive device 60.

[0076] Specifically, a portion of the locking component 40 may be recessed to form an abutment groove 32a, and a portion of the driving component 32 may be protruding to form an abutment protrusion 41. Alternatively, a portion of the driving component 32 may be recessed to form an abutment groove 32a, and a portion of the locking component 40 may be protruding to form an abutment protrusion 41.

[0077] When the bracket 20 is in its retracted state, at least a portion of the abutment protrusion 41 is located within the abutment groove 32a, and by abutting against the groove wall of the abutment groove 32a, it restricts the drive member 32 from driving the bracket 20 to rotate, thereby locking the drive member 32. When the user triggers the locking component 40, the abutment protrusion 41 can separate from the abutment groove 32a, so that the locking component 40 does not restrict the drive member 32 from driving the bracket 20 to rotate, thereby unlocking the drive member 32.

[0078] For example, when the driving component 32 is a driving spring, one end of the driving spring is connected to the housing 10, and the other end is connected to the connecting line 31, forming an abutment groove 32a. The locking component 40 has an abutment protrusion 41. When the locking component 40 is in its initial position, the abutment protrusion 41 engages with the abutment groove 32a, and the locking component 40 restricts the contraction of the driving spring, thus preventing it from pulling the bracket 20 to rotate via the connecting line 31, thereby locking the driving component 32. When the user triggers the locking component 40, the locking component 40 moves to disengage the abutment protrusion 41 from the abutment groove 32a. This allows the locking component 40 to avoid the contraction of the driving spring, thereby unlocking the driving component 32. The driving spring can then pull the bracket 20 to rotate via the connecting line 31 under its own elastic force.

[0079] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 10The locking assembly 40 includes a button 42 and an elastic element 43. The button 42 has a pressing end 421 and a connecting end 422 opposite to the pressing end 421. The elastic element 43 is connected to both the connecting end 422 and the housing 10. Specifically, the pressing end 421 is the end of the button 42 that is pressed by the user. The connecting end 422 is the end of the button 42 that is connected to the housing 10 via the elastic element 43. By providing the elastic element 43, the locking assembly 40 can be easily reset.

[0080] The specific structural form of the elastic element 43 is not limited. For example, the elastic element 43 can be a spring, a sheet, or a spring arm (such as a serpentine spring arm).

[0081] The pressing travel of button 42 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, the pressing travel of button 42 is greater than or equal to 1mm and less than or equal to 2mm.

[0082] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking component 40 may also be other triggerable structures.

[0083] For example, the locking component 40 is a pull-type trigger, a rotatable rotation trigger, or a toggle trigger.

[0084] It should be noted that when the bracket 20 is in the supported state, the specific position of the button 42 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0085] For example, when the bracket 20 is in the supported state, the button 42 can be reset to its initial position under the action of the elastic element 43, but at this time the locking component 40 cannot restrict the driving component 30 from applying driving force to the bracket 20. When the user does not need to use the bracket 20, the bracket 20 rotates to the storage state, and the locking component 40 re-engages with the driving component 30 to restrict the driving component 30 from driving the bracket 20 to rotate.

[0086] For example, the locking component 40 has a second abutment portion, and the driving component 30 has a third abutment portion. When the locking component is in the unlocked state, the third abutment portion abuts against the second abutment portion to restrict the button 42 from resetting. Thus, by the third abutment portion of the driving component 30 abutting against the second abutment portion, the button 42 is restricted from resetting under the action of the elastic member 43, thereby preventing the locking component 40 from interfering with the driving component 30's driving bracket 20.

[0087] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 12A portion of the connecting end 422 protrudes to form an abutment protrusion 41, which is the second abutment portion. The drive assembly 30 has a side abutment surface 32b on the side near the connecting end 422, which is the third abutment portion. Thus, by abutting the abutment protrusion 422 against the side abutment surface 32b, the button 42 can be effectively restricted from resetting under the action of the elastic member 43.

[0088] In one specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 10 The first abutting part is an abutting groove 32a, the second abutting part is an abutting protrusion 41, and the third abutting part is a side abutting surface 32b located outside the abutting groove 32a. When the bracket 20 is in the retracted state, the abutting protrusion 41 is located in the abutting groove 32a to restrict the drive member 32 from driving the bracket 20 to rotate. When the user presses the button 42, the abutting protrusion 41 disengages from the abutting groove 32a, and the drive member 32 pulls the connecting line 31 to drive the bracket 20 to rotate. The abutting groove 32a is displaced from the abutting protrusion 41 as the drive member 32 moves, and the button 42 abuts against the side abutting surface 32b under the action of the elastic member 43. When the bracket 20 rotates back to the retracted state, the drive member 32 resets, and the abutting groove 32a also resets to the position corresponding to the abutting protrusion 41, causing the abutting protrusion 41 to re-engage in the abutting groove 32a.

[0089] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 The end of the drive member 32 connected to the connecting line 31 has a positioning part; when the locking component 40 is in the unlocked state, the positioning part is positioned and engaged with the locking component 40 so that the bracket 20 is in a supported state with a set rotation angle. Thus, the positioning part and the locking component 40 are positioned and engaged, so that the bracket 20 can rotate more accurately to the supported state with a set rotation angle under the drive of the drive member 32 and the connecting line 31, and at the same time, the stability of the bracket 20 in the supported state can be improved.

[0090] It should be noted that the specific structure of the positioning part is not limited.

[0091] For example, please see Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 A portion of the driving member 32 near the locking component 40 is recessed to form a positioning groove 32c. The positioning part includes the positioning groove 32c. A portion of the locking component 40 is movably disposed in the positioning groove 32c. When the locking component 40 is in the unlocked state, the locking component 40 fits against the groove wall of the positioning groove 32c.

[0092] In other words, the driving component 32 has a positioning groove 32c for the locking component 40 to move through the recess. When the locking component 40 is in the unlocked state, the locking component 40 fits against the groove wall of the positioning groove 32c to assist the driving component 32 in positioning the bracket 20 at the rotation position with a set rotation angle, thereby achieving a better positioning effect.

[0093] It should be noted that when the locking component 40 is engaged with the groove wall of the positioning groove 32c to achieve positioning, the locking component 40 and the groove wall of the positioning groove 32c can abut against each other, meaning there can be an interaction force between them. Of course, they can also simply be in contact without any interaction force, or the interaction force can be very small. This can be set according to the actual situation.

[0094] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The bracket 20 includes a bracket body 21 and a rotating shaft 22. The rotating shaft 22 is mounted on the bracket body 21 and connected to the housing 10. One end of the connecting line 31 connected to the bracket 20 is located on a different plane from the rotating shaft 22 within the bracket body 21. In other words, the connection point between the connecting line 31 and the bracket 20 is not located on the same plane as the rotating shaft 22 within the bracket body 21. This allows the connecting line 31 to apply driving force to the bracket body 21 in the form of torque, thereby facilitating the rotation of the bracket body 21 by the connecting line 31.

[0095] It is understandable that the support body 21 is the frame structure of the support 20, and the support body 21 rotates relative to the shell 10 around the pivot 22.

[0096] It should be noted that the specific structure of the rotating shaft 22 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0097] For example, the rotating shaft 22 is a spring shaft (such as a spring shaft in the form of a watch chain), and the bracket body 21 has a spring shaft at each of its opposite ends along the rotation axis. The housing 10 has two corresponding mounting holes for the spring shafts to be installed. Thus, the bracket 20 can be quickly installed onto the housing 10.

[0098] For example, the pivot 22 is a pin, the bracket body 21 has a pin hole, and the pivot 22 passes through the pin hole.

[0099] For example, the bracket body 21 and the rotating shaft 22 can be integrated into one structure. For instance, the bracket body 21 could be a plastic bracket 20, and the rotating shaft 22 a plastic shaft. This reduces the impact of the bracket 20 on the wireless charging function of electronic devices.

[0100] It should be noted that the specific positions of the ends of the pivot 22 and the connecting line 31 on the bracket body 21 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0101] For example, please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 10a for accommodating electronic equipment. The bracket 20 is rotatably disposed on the side of the housing 10 away from the receiving cavity 10a. One end of the connecting line 31 connected to the bracket body 21 is disposed on the side of the bracket body 21 away from the receiving cavity 10a. Thus, the connecting line 31 can easily drive the bracket body 21 to rotate around the pivot 22.

[0102] Specifically, the electronic device is installed in the receiving cavity 10a of the housing 10, and the bracket 20 supports the housing 10 and the electronic device from the side of the housing 10 away from the receiving cavity 10a by rotating.

[0103] The connecting line 31 is connected to the side of the support body 21 away from the receiving cavity 10a. This allows the connecting line 31 to exert a larger torque on the support body 21, thereby facilitating the rotation of the support body 21.

[0104] For example, please refer to Figure 5 The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 10a for accommodating electronic equipment. A bracket 20 is rotatably disposed on the side of the housing 10 away from the receiving cavity 10a, and a rotating shaft 22 is disposed on the side of the bracket body 21 near the receiving cavity 10a. This allows the rotating shaft 22 to be positioned as close as possible to the receiving cavity 10a, facilitating the offsetting of the connecting line 31 from the rotating shaft 22. Furthermore, it allows the bracket body 21 to easily shield the rotating shaft 22, thereby reducing the risk of the rotating shaft 22 being exposed.

[0105] In another embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 One end of the connecting line 31, which is connected to the support body 21, is located on the side of the support body 21 away from the receiving cavity 10a, while the rotating shaft 22 is located on the side of the support body 21 closer to the receiving cavity 10a. This allows the torque applied by the connecting line 31 to the support body 21 to be as large as possible, so that the connecting line 31 can pull the support body 21 to rotate.

[0106] In one embodiment, the housing 10 has a receiving cavity 10a for accommodating an electronic device, the receiving cavity 10a having a through hole communicating with the side of the housing 10 opposite to the receiving cavity 10a, the bracket 20 being rotatably disposed on the side of the housing 10 opposite to the receiving cavity 10a, a portion of the driving assembly 30 and a portion of the locking assembly 40 being disposed within the receiving cavity 10a, and one end of the connecting line 31 being connected to the bracket 20 through the through hole.

[0107] Specifically, the through hole connects the opposite sides of the housing 10, and one end of the connecting line 31 is located on the side of the housing 10 near the receiving cavity 10a to connect with the housing 10. The other end of the connecting line 31 passes through the through hole and connects to the bracket 20. Thus, on the one hand, it is convenient for the connecting line 31 to pull the bracket 20 to rotate, and on the other hand, it can prevent the drive assembly 30 and the locking assembly 40 from being exposed too much.

[0108] The specific arrangement of the drive component 30 and the locking component 40 on the housing 10 can be set according to the actual situation.

[0109] For example, please see Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A first portion of the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 10a is recessed to form a first mounting groove 10b, and at least a portion of the drive assembly 30 is located within the first mounting groove 10b. Thus, by recessing the housing 10 to form the first mounting groove 10b for accommodating the drive assembly 30, the overall thickness of the automatic deployment bracket housing can be reduced. Furthermore, the first mounting groove 10b forms a guide channel for the movement of the drive assembly 30, thereby facilitating the rotation of the drive bracket 20.

[0110] The drive component 30 may have only a portion of its area located within the first mounting slot 10b, or the entire area may be located within the first mounting slot 10b.

[0111] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 A second portion of the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 10a is recessed to form a second mounting groove 10c, within which the locking assembly 40 is movably disposed. Thus, by recessing the housing 10 to form the second mounting groove 10c for accommodating the locking assembly 40, the overall thickness of the automatic deployment bracket housing can be reduced. Furthermore, the second mounting groove 10c forms a guide channel for the movement of the locking assembly 40.

[0112] For example, please refer to Figure 8 A portion of the housing 10 is recessed to form a wire groove 10d, in which the connecting line 31 is movably disposed. In other words, the wire groove 10d is used to allow the connecting line 31 to move, serving both as a guide and preventing the connecting line 31 from coming out.

[0113] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 10a for accommodating an electronic device; a portion of the housing 10 on the side opposite to the receiving cavity 10a is recessed to form a mounting cavity, and the bracket 20 is rotatably disposed within the mounting cavity.

[0114] In the stowed state, the outer surface of the bracket 20 on the side opposite to the receiving cavity 10a is flush with the outer surface of the housing 10 on the side opposite to the receiving cavity 10a.

[0115] In other words, when in the storage state, the bracket 20 is stored in the installation cavity, and the outer surface of the bracket 20 is relatively flat with the outer surface of the housing 10. As a result, the side of the automatically unfolded bracket housing away from the receiving cavity 10a is less likely to accumulate dirt and grime, and it is more aesthetically pleasing and has a better performance.

[0116] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 10a for accommodating an electronic device; a portion of the housing 10 on the side opposite to the receiving cavity 10a is recessed to form a mounting cavity, and the bracket 20 is rotatably disposed within the mounting cavity. The housing 10 also includes a back plate 11 located between the receiving cavity 10a and the bracket 20, the back plate 11 having a mounting cavity, and the thickness of the back plate 11 being less than or equal to 3 mm. This allows for a thinner and lighter automatically deployable bracket housing.

[0117] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 The automatically unfolding bracket shell also includes a locking structure 50, which includes a first locking part 51 and a second locking part 52. The first locking part 51 is disposed on the bracket 20, and the second locking part 52 is disposed on the shell 10. The first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 are locked together to lock the bracket 20 in the storage state.

[0118] The locking structure 50 is designed to improve the connection stability between the bracket 20 and the housing 10. Through the cooperation of the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52, the bracket 20 can be prevented from being accidentally opened in the stowed state, thus improving its stability in this state.

[0119] When the user triggers the locking component 40 to activate it, the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 can separate to release the lock, thereby facilitating the drive component 30 to rotate to the support state.

[0120] It should be noted that the specific manner in which the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 separate from each other is not limited.

[0121] For example, the locking component 40 can release the lock by moving the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 apart. That is, when the user triggers the locking component 40, the locking component 40 can move and, while avoiding the drive component 30 driving the bracket 20, can also drive the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 to separate from each other, thereby releasing their locking engagement.

[0122] For example, the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 are separated from each other under the driving force of the driving component 30 to release the lock. That is, when the user triggers the locking component 40 to move the locking component 40 and cause the locking component 40 to avoid the driving component 30 driving the bracket 20, the driving component 30 can drive the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 to separate from each other, thereby releasing the locking engagement between the two.

[0123] The specific structural form of the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 is not limited.

[0124] For example, please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 11 The first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 are magnetically attracted to each other. That is, when the bracket 20 is in the retracted state, the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 can be magnetically connected. When the locking assembly 40 avoids the driving assembly 30 driving the bracket 20, the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 disconnect under the driving force of the driving assembly 30, thereby releasing the lock.

[0125] The specific locations of the first locking part 51 and the second locking part 52 can be determined according to actual needs.

[0126] For example, the first locking part 51 is provided at the end of the bracket 20 away from the rotation axis, and the second locking part 52 is provided on the housing 10 in the area corresponding to the first locking part 51.

[0127] In one specific embodiment, the housing 10 includes a housing body having a receiving cavity 10a and a mounting cavity. The housing 10 also includes a guide plate disposed within the mounting cavity, the guide plate having a wire groove and being disposed near the through hole. Thus, after passing through the through hole, the connecting line 31 can extend along the wire groove and connect to the bracket body 21.

[0128] In one embodiment, a button opening communicating with the second mounting groove 10c is formed on the side of the housing 10, and the locking component 40 is disposed at the button opening and extends into the second mounting groove 10c. This allows the user to easily trigger the locking component 40 from the side to unlock the bracket 20.

[0129] In one embodiment, the bottom edge of the housing 10 has a button opening that communicates with the second mounting groove 10c, and the locking component 40 is disposed at the button opening and extends into the second mounting groove 10c. Thus, when the user places the automatic unfolding bracket housing on the desktop, the bracket 20 can be unlocked simply by touching the bottom of the automatic unfolding bracket housing to the desktop.
