Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3C accessories technology, specifically to a flexible support. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, people frequently use their mobile phones for navigation during daily travel, leading to the emergence of car phone holders. A flexible car phone holder has appeared on the market. This type of holder includes an adjustable flexible support body, with a fixing base at each end for connecting to the object and a mounting base for attaching the phone. The flexible support body is covered with a layer of soft rubber (TPU / silicone or other) for protection. To install the mounting base, the mounting base usually needs to be fixed to the flexible support rod with fasteners. These fasteners need to penetrate the soft rubber, creating perforations in the surface. When the angle of the flexible support rod is adjusted, these perforations can easily expose internal components, damaging the appearance and potentially causing breakage due to pulling at the gaps, leaving the internal flexible metal plate unprotected by the soft rubber layer. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible support to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a flexible support, comprising a flexible support body, a connector connected to the end of the flexible support body, and mounting bases respectively disposed at both ends of the flexible support body along its length direction for connecting electronic devices and fixing bases for fixing the flexible support to the object being fixed; the flexible support body comprises a flexible support plate and a protective adhesive layer covering the surface of the flexible support plate.

[0005] One part of the connector is connected to one end of the flexible support plate, and the other part is connected to the mounting base or fixing base; the protective adhesive layer extends integrally from the surface of the flexible support plate to the connector and at least partially covers the surface of the connector.

[0006] Optionally, the connector has a fixing part, and the connector is fixed to the flexible support plate through the fixing part; the fixing part is at least partially covered by a protective adhesive layer.

[0007] Optionally, the fixed part has at least one first through hole, and the flexible support plate has at least one second through hole corresponding to the first through hole. When the flexible support body and the connector are fixed in place, the first through hole and the second through hole at least partially overlap. The protective adhesive layer covers the two surfaces of the flexible support plate in the thickness direction as an upper protective layer and a lower protective layer, respectively. The upper protective layer and the lower protective layer pass through the first through hole and the second through hole to form a connection part integrally connected with the upper protective layer and the lower protective layer, so that the connector and the flexible support plate are further reinforced within the protective adhesive layer.

[0008] Optionally, the fixed connection includes a plug groove, and one end of the flexible support plate is inserted into the plug groove for relative fixation.

[0009] Optionally, the inner surface of the insertion slot is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion protruding towards the flexible support plate, and the snap-fit ​​portion has a restoring force that returns in the thickness direction of the flexible support plate; the flexible support plate is provided with a connecting groove that mates with the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0010] When the flexible support plate is inserted into the insertion slot, the snap-fit ​​part overcomes the restoring force and slides from the surface of the flexible support plate into the connection slot. The snap-fit ​​part is restricted in the connection slot in the insertion direction of the flexible support plate to fix the flexible support plate in the insertion slot.

[0011] Optionally, the end of the connector away from the flexible support plate is provided with a connecting block, the connecting block being at least partially exposed outside the protective adhesive layer and connected to the mounting base; the end of the connecting block near the flexible support plate is provided with a sealing surface, the protective adhesive layer is provided with a mating surface that is attached to the sealing surface, and the outer contour of the mating surface is smaller than or equal to the outer contour of the sealing surface.

[0012] Optionally, the outer contour of the bonding surface is smaller than the outer contour of the sealing surface, and the end of the protective adhesive layer near the bonding surface is provided with a discontinuity surface opposite to the sealing surface. A sealing groove is formed between the portion of the sealing surface that extends beyond the bonding surface and the discontinuity surface, and the bottom surface of the sealing groove is connected to the bonding surface.

[0013] Optionally, the surface of the fixed part is provided with a raised structure and / or a recessed structure, and the protective adhesive layer is fitted with the raised structure and / or the recessed structure.

[0014] Optionally, the flexible support includes an integrally extended first component and a second component integrally connected to the first component; the first component has a uniform thickness, the second component is disposed at the end of the first component near the connector and connected to the connecting block, wherein the average thickness of the second component is greater than or equal to the average thickness of the first component; and / or

[0016] The mounting base and connector are detachably connected.

[0017] Optionally, the length of the first component is greater than the length of the second component; and / or

[0018] The second component includes a proximal end and a distal end located at opposite ends along its length. The proximal end is the end of the second component that is closer to the first component, and the distal end is the end of the second component that is farther from the first component. Along the length of the flexible support, the thickness of at least a portion of the second component gradually increases from the proximal end to the distal end.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the flexible support of this utility model has a connector that is connected to the fixed seat and / or mounting seat at one and / or the other end of the flexible support plate. The connector is at least partially wrapped with a protective adhesive layer, which achieves the connection and fixation between the flexible support and the connector. The connector is then connected and fixed to the mounting seat and the fixed seat. This avoids perforation in the protective adhesive layer. When the flexible support is adjusted at an angle, the internal components are less likely to be exposed. The protective adhesive layer is less likely to be pulled from the gaps and break, causing the internal flexible support plate to lose the protection of the protective adhesive layer.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Please see Figure 1-11 This utility model discloses a flexible bracket, comprising a flexible support body 1, a connector 2 connected to one end of the flexible support body 1, and mounting bases 3 for connecting electronic devices and fixing bases 4 for fixing the flexible bracket to the object being fixed, respectively disposed at both ends along the length of the flexible support body 1. Specifically, the mounting base 3 can directly connect to the electronic device or indirectly connect to the electronic device through a clamping mechanism, etc., without specific limitations. The fixing base 4 can be directly fixed to the object being fixed, such as a car center console, or indirectly fixed to the object being fixed through a suction cup 7 or other fixing component, without specific limitations.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flexible support 1 includes a flexible support plate 11 and a protective adhesive layer 12 covering the surface of the flexible support plate 11; a part of the connector 2 is connected to one end of the flexible support plate 11, and the other part is connected to the mounting base 3 or the fixing base 4. Specifically, the connector 2 acts as an adapter, allowing the end of the flexible support 1 connected to the fixing base 4 to be connected via the connector 2, and the end of the flexible support plate 11 connected to the mounting base 3 to be connected via the connector 2. That is, both ends of the flexible support plate 11 can be connected to the fixing base 4 or the mounting base 3 via the connector 2, or only one end can be connected to the fixing base 4 or the connecting base via the connector 2.

[0036] The protective adhesive layer 12 extends integrally from the surface of the flexible support plate 11 to the connector 2 and covers at least a portion of the surface of the connector 2. Specifically, the protective adhesive layer 12 may cover the entire surface of the connector 2 or only a portion of the surface of the connector 2.

[0037] The flexible support of this utility model is provided with a connector 2. The connector 2 is connected to the fixed seat 4 and / or the mounting seat 3 at one end and / or the other end of the flexible support plate 11. The surface of the connector 2 is at least partially wrapped by the protective adhesive layer 12, so as to realize the connection and fixation between the flexible support 1 and the connector 2. The connector 2 is then connected and fixed to the mounting seat 3 and the fixed seat 4. This avoids perforation in the protective adhesive layer 12. When the flexible support 1 is adjusted at an angle, the internal parts are not easily exposed. The protective adhesive layer 12 is not easily pulled from the gaps and broken, so that the internal flexible support plate 11 loses the protection of the protective adhesive layer 12.

[0038] Specifically, the flexible support plate 11 can be a flexible metal plate, such as a nickel-titanium alloy plate or a soft aluminum alloy plate. The protective adhesive layer 12 can be a TPU adhesive layer or a silicone layer, etc.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the connector 2 has a fixing part 21, which is used to fix the connector 2 to the flexible support plate 11. Specifically, the fixing part 21 can be fixed to the flexible support plate 11 in various ways, such as by fasteners like screws, or by interference fit, tight fit, snap-fit, or other connection methods that are not easy to detach. The fixing part 21 is at least partially covered by the protective adhesive layer 12. The protective adhesive layer 12 can either cover only part of the fixing part 21 or cover the entire fixing part 21.

[0040] In one embodiment where the fixed part 21 is fixed to the flexible support plate 11, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the fixed part 21 has at least one first through hole 211, and the flexible support plate 11 has at least one second through hole 111 corresponding to the first through hole 211. When the flexible support 1 and the connector 2 are fixed in place, the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 111 at least partially overlap. The first through hole 211 and the second through hole 111 can partially overlap, that is, there is a staggered part between them, or they can be completely aligned and overlapped. Specifically, there can be multiple first through holes 211 and multiple second through holes 111, and the number of both is the same, and they overlap one-to-one.

[0041] The protective adhesive layer 12 covers the two surfaces of the flexible support plate 11 in the thickness direction, namely the upper protective layer 121 and the lower protective layer 122. The upper protective layer 121 and the lower protective layer 122 are integrally connected through the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 111, so that the connector 2 and the flexible support plate 11 are further reinforced within the protective adhesive layer 12. When the protective adhesive layer 12 is injection molded, the soft adhesive material flows through the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 111 and fills the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 111 to form a connecting part (not shown in the figure), so that the upper protective layer 121 and the lower protective layer 122 are integrally connected through the connecting part, which strengthens the fixed connection between the connector 2 and the flexible support plate 11 within the protective adhesive layer 12.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the fixed connection part 21 includes a plug groove 212. One end of the flexible support plate 11 is inserted into the plug groove 212 and fixed relative to it. The plug groove 212 is used to fix one end of the flexible support plate 11.

[0043] A latching portion 213 protrudes from the inner surface of the insertion slot 212 toward the flexible support plate 11. The latching portion 213 has a restoring force that returns in the thickness direction of the flexible support plate 11. The flexible support plate 11 has a connecting groove 112 that mates with the latching portion 213. When the flexible support plate 11 is inserted into the insertion slot 212, the latching portion 213 overcomes the restoring force and slides from the surface of the flexible support plate 11 into the connecting groove 112. The latching portion 213 is confined within the connecting groove 112 in the insertion direction of the flexible support plate 11, thereby fixing the flexible support plate 11 within the insertion slot 212. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 213 can be an elastic snap-fit ​​arm formed by connecting one end of the insertion groove 212 and hollowing out the remaining edge. The elastic snap-fit ​​arm is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 2131, which snaps into the connecting groove 112 to realize the connection between one end of the flexible support plate 11 and the fixed part 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the snap-fit ​​part 213 can also be a component that realizes elastic force by means of a spring, magnet, etc. The connecting groove 112 can be a through hole penetrating the flexible support plate 11 or a groove that does not penetrate the flexible support plate 11; no specific limitation is made here.

[0044] In this utility model, the scheme of connecting the connector 2 and the flexible support plate 11 by the cooperation of the first through hole 211, the second through hole 111, and the connecting part can be used simultaneously with the scheme of connecting the connector 2 and the flexible support plate 11 by the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​part 213 and the insertion groove 212, or either one of them can be used.

[0045] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the connector 2 has a connecting block 22 at the end away from the flexible support plate 11. The connecting block 22 is at least partially exposed outside the protective adhesive layer 12 and is connected to the mounting base 3. The connecting block 22 has a sealing surface 221 at the end near the flexible support plate 11. The protective adhesive layer 12 has a bonding surface 123 that is attached to the sealing surface 221. The outer contour of the bonding surface 123 is smaller than or equal to the outer contour of the sealing surface 221.

[0046] Specifically, the outer contour of the bonding surface 123 is smaller than the outer contour of the sealing surface 221. The protective adhesive layer 12 has a break surface 124 opposite to the sealing surface 221 at one end near the bonding surface 123. A sealing groove 5 is formed between the portion of the sealing surface 221 extending beyond the bonding surface 123 and the break surface 124. The bottom surface of the sealing groove 5 connects with the bonding surface 123. In the injection molding process, the sealing groove 5 prevents defects such as flash from occurring in the protective adhesive layer 12 when it is covered. In the injection molding process, flash, also known as burrs, sprues, or overflow, refers to excess plastic material that overflows from the mold parting line, slider, ejector pins, etc., during the injection molding process. This excess plastic forms thin flakes or elongated protrusions.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the fixed part 21 is provided with a raised structure and / or a concave structure 214. The protective adhesive layer 12 is fitted with the raised structure and / or the concave structure 214, which can further prevent the protective adhesive layer 12 from falling off and enhance the tensile force between the connector 2 and the flexible support plate 11, so that the connection between the connector 2 and the flexible support plate 11 is tighter.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the flexible support 1 includes an integrally extended first component 13 and a second component 14 integrally connected to the first component 13; the flexible support 1 is assembled into an independent, integrated component by the integrally formed first component 13 and second component 14, resulting in a stronger overall structure and easier manufacturing. The flexible support 1 includes a protective adhesive layer 12 and a flexible support plate 11, that is, the first component 13 and the second component 14 respectively include portions of the protective adhesive layer 12 and the flexible support plate 11.

[0049] The thickness of the first component 13 is uniform. The uniformity of the thickness of the first component 13 can be achieved by slight thickness variations within allowable processing deviations; that is, it can be absolutely uniform or approximately uniform. The second component 14 is disposed at the end of the first component 13 near the connector 2 and is connected to the connecting block 22. The average thickness of the second component 14 is greater than or equal to the average thickness of the first component 13. It should be noted that the average thickness here refers to the overall thickness of the flexible support 1, including the protective adhesive layer 12 and the flexible support plate 11. Furthermore, the length of the first component 13 is greater than the length of the second component 14.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the second component 14 includes a proximal end 141 and a distal end 142 disposed at both ends in its own length direction. The proximal end 141 is the end of the second component 14 that is closer to the first component 13, and the distal end 142 is the end of the second component 14 that is farther away from the first component 13.

[0051] Along the length of the flexible support 1, in the direction from the proximal end 141 to the distal end 142, the thickness of at least part of the second component 14 gradually increases.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 As shown, the mounting base 3 and the connector 2 are rotatably connected; or, the mounting base 3 and the connector 2 are detachably connected. The rotatable connection between the mounting base 3 and the connector 2 can be achieved through a damping shaft 6, while the detachable connection can be achieved through snap-fit ​​connection, magnetic connection, tight-fit connection, etc., without specific limitations here.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely specific implementations of this utility model, used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and not to limit it. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model. These modifications, changes, or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
