[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 an automatically deployable support shell that is easy to operate.

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

[0008] This application provides an embodiment of an automatically deployable support shell, including:

[0009] case;

[0010] A support assembly is movably disposed on the housing, the support assembly being movable to switch between a stowed state and a supported state; the support assembly includes a first support portion, one side of the first support portion being movably connected to the housing along a first direction, and the other side having a first support edge; in the supported state, the automatically unfolding support housing has a vertical support mode in which the housing is supported by the first support edge;

[0011] The first support portion has a second support edge on at least one side along the second direction; in the supported state, the automatically deployable bracket shell has a lateral support mode in which the shell is supported by the second support edge; wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction;

[0012] A drive component is driven to the bracket assembly;

[0013] A trigger component, movably disposed on the housing, is provided to drive the support assembly from the stored state to the supported state via the drive component.

[0014] In one embodiment, the first support portion has a second support edge on one side along a second direction and a connecting edge on the other side; from the end near the first support edge to the end away from the first support edge, the second support edge is inclined toward the side away from the connecting edge.

[0015] In one embodiment, the bracket assembly further includes a second support portion and a connecting support portion. One side of the second support portion is movably connected to the housing, and one side of the first support portion is movably connected to the housing. The connecting support portion is disposed between the second support portion and the first support portion, and is movably connected to both the second support portion and the first support portion.

[0016] The triggering component causes the driving component to drive the connecting support portion to rotate relative to the first support portion and the second support portion, and causes the first support portion and the second support portion to rotate relative to the housing, so that the bracket assembly switches from the storage state to the support state.

[0017] In one embodiment, the first support portion has an abutting side near the housing. When the bracket assembly is in the supported state, the side of the second support portion away from the housing abuts against the abutting side, and the connecting support portion fits against the abutting side.

[0019] In one embodiment, the automatically deployable support shell further includes a second magnetic suction member disposed on the shell. When the support assembly is in the retracted state, the connecting support portion fits against the second support portion and is magnetically connected to the second magnetic suction member.

[0020] In one embodiment, the automatically deployable support shell further includes an annular magnet. When the support assembly is in the retracted state, a portion of the first support portion is in contact with the second support portion, and another portion of the first support portion forms a clearance area that avoids the second support portion. The annular magnet is disposed between the clearance area and the shell.

[0021] In one embodiment, the housing has a receiving cavity for accommodating an electronic device; a portion of the housing on the side opposite to the receiving cavity is recessed to form a mounting cavity, and the bracket assembly is movably disposed within the mounting cavity;

[0022] In the stored state, the outer surface of the support assembly facing away from the receiving cavity is flush with the outer surface of the housing facing away from the receiving cavity.

[0023] In one embodiment, the support assembly further includes a leather sleeve comprising a plurality of interconnected leather segments, wherein the second support, the first support, and the connecting support are respectively disposed in each of the leather segments and are movably connected by the leather sleeve.

[0024] In one embodiment, in the vertical support mode, the support angle between the shell and the support plane is greater than or equal to 50° and less than or equal to 60°; and / or,

[0025] In the lateral support mode, the support angle between the shell and the support plane is greater than or equal to 50° and less than or equal to 60°.

[0026] This application provides an automatically deployable support shell, comprising a shell, a support assembly, a drive assembly, and a trigger assembly. Firstly, the support assembly is movably mounted on the shell, allowing it to switch between a retracted state and a supported state. Secondly, the trigger assembly is movably mounted on the shell, enabling the drive assembly to switch the support assembly from the retracted state to the supported state. Thus, a user can trigger the trigger assembly to automatically deploy the support assembly, eliminating the need for manual folding and unfolding, making operation more convenient. Thirdly, in the supported state, the automatically deployable support shell has a vertical support mode (supported by a first support edge) and a horizontal support mode (supported by a second support edge). This allows the support assembly to vertically support the shell and electronic devices, or horizontally support them, depending on user needs, thereby meeting diverse user requirements.

Figure 1 The orientation or positional relationship shown is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

In the description of the embodiments of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0044] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0045] One embodiment of this application provides an automatically deployable support shell, including a shell 10, a support assembly 20, a drive assembly 30, and a trigger assembly 40.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 and Figure 12The support assembly 20 is movably mounted on the housing 10, and the support assembly 20 can be switched between a stowed state and a supported state by movement. The support assembly 20 includes a first support portion 22, one side of which is movably connected to the housing 10 along a first direction, and the other side has a first support edge 221; in the supported state, the automatically unfolded support housing has a vertical support mode that supports the housing 10 through the first support edge 221.

[0047] The first support portion 22 has a second support edge 222 on at least one side along the second direction; in the supported state, the automatically unfolded bracket shell has a lateral support mode that supports the shell 10 through the second support edge 222; wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0048] The drive assembly 30 is connected to the bracket assembly 20 via a drive connection.

[0049] The trigger component 40 is movably disposed on the housing 10 so as to drive the drive component 30 to switch the support component 20 from the storage state to the support state.

[0050] Specifically, the automatically unfolding stand case can be a stand case structure for any type of electronic device. For example, a phone stand case. Of course, depending on the specific situation, it can also be a stand case structure for tablets, power banks, or other electronic devices.

[0051] In fact, the housing 10 is used to mount electronic equipment. By moving the bracket assembly 20, the bracket assembly 20 is extended to a supporting state, thereby supporting the housing 10 and the electronic equipment.

[0052] Along the first direction, the side of the first support portion 22 that is movably connected to the connecting support portion 23 has a first support edge 221, which enables the bracket assembly 20 to provide vertical support for the housing 10 and the electronic device in the supported state.

[0053] Along the second direction, the first support portion 22 has a second support edge 222, which enables the bracket assembly 20 to provide lateral support for the housing 10 and the electronic device in the supported state.

[0054] Depending on the actual situation, the first support part 22 may have a second support edge 222 on only one side along the second direction, or it may have a second support edge 222 on both opposite sides.

[0055] It should be noted that the specific arrangement of the second support edge 222 of the first support part 22 is not limited.

[0056] For example, the second support edge 222 is inclined relative to the first direction. Therefore, by setting the second support edge 222 as an inclined edge relative to the second direction, the bracket assembly 20 can easily provide lateral support for the housing 10 and the electronic device in a lateral support mode. Exemplarily, the first support portion 22 has a second support edge 222 on one side along the second direction and a connecting edge 223 on the other side; from the end near the first support edge 221 to the end away from the first support edge 221, the second support edge 222 is inclined toward the side opposite to the connecting edge 223.

[0057] Specifically, the second support edge 222 is an inclined edge that is inclined relative to the connecting edge 223 and the first direction. As a result, the first support part 22 can provide better support in the lateral support mode.

[0058] The specific structure of the support assembly 20 is not limited.

[0059] For example, please see Figures 1 to 3 The bracket assembly 20 also includes a second support portion 21 and a connecting support portion 23. One side of the second support portion 21 is movably connected to the housing 10, and one side of the first support portion 22 is movably connected to the housing 10. The connecting support portion 23 is disposed between the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22, and is movably connected to the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 respectively.

[0060] The trigger component 40 causes the drive component 30 to drive the connecting support 23 to rotate relative to the first support 22 and the second support 21, and causes the first support 22 and the second support 21 to rotate relative to the housing 10, so that the bracket assembly 20 switches from the storage state to the support state.

[0061] The stowed state of the bracket assembly 20 is when the bracket assembly 20 is stowed onto the housing 10. At this time, the included angle between the bracket assembly 20 and the housing 10 is the smallest.

[0062] For example, when the bracket assembly 20 is in its retracted state, all support parts (including the second support part 21, the first support part 22, and the connecting support part 23) are in the same plane. It should be noted that "all support parts are in the same plane" means that in the retracted state, the bracket assembly 20 is housed as a single bracket plate, and the support parts do not form support angles but are located on the same side (back) of the housing 10. This allows the bracket assembly 20 to be sufficiently flat, with an angle of 0° between it and the back of the housing 10.

[0063] The support assembly 20 is in a supported state in which some or all of the support parts are moved to the support position to support the housing 10. At this time, the second support part 21 and the first support part 22 abut against each other to form a support angle, thereby jointly supporting the housing 10.

[0064] It should be noted that the support angle formed by the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 means that the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 form a mutually supporting support structure. The second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 are not parallel, but rather form an angle.

[0065] For example, the second support part 21 can support the first support part 22, and the first support part 22 can be supported on the support plane.

[0066] For example, the first support part 22 can support the second support part 21, and the second support part 21 can be supported on the support plane.

[0067] The support assembly 20 is not formed from a single rigid plate; it includes a second support portion 21, a first support portion 22, and a connecting support portion 23. The connecting support portion 23 is located between the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 and serves as a connecting component. The opposite sides of the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 are movably connected to the housing 10.

[0068] The second support part 21, the first support part 22 and the connecting support part 23 are all movably connected.

[0069] In the supported state, the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 can form a support angle to support the housing 10. A triangular support structure can be formed between the second support portion 21, the first support portion 22 and the housing 10, thereby enabling the bracket assembly 20 to have a better support effect.

[0070] In the automatically deployable support housing of this application embodiment, on one hand, the support assembly 20 is movably disposed on the housing 10. The support assembly 20 can switch between a retracted state and a supported state by moving. The trigger assembly 40 is movably disposed on the housing 10 so that the drive assembly 30 can drive the support assembly 20 to switch from the retracted state to the supported state by moving. Thus, the user can trigger the trigger assembly 40 to enable the drive assembly 30 to move the support assembly 20 to switch from the retracted state to the supported state. This enables the trigger assembly 40 to automatically deploy the support assembly 20 without the user having to manually fold or pry it open, making the operation more convenient. On the other hand, in the supported state, the automatically deployable support housing has a vertical support mode in which the housing 10 is supported by the first support edge 221, and a horizontal support mode in which the housing 10 is supported by the second support edge 222. Thus, the support assembly 20 can, in the supported state, vertically support the housing 10 and the electronic device as needed, and also horizontally support the housing 10 and the electronic device as needed. This can meet the user's various usage needs.

[0071] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The first support portion 22 has an abutting side 22a near the housing 10. When the bracket assembly 20 is in a supported state, the side of the second support portion 21 facing away from the housing 10 abuts against the abutting side 22a, and the connecting support portion 23 fits against the abutting side 22a. Thus, the second support portion 21 can support the first support portion 22, thereby improving the supporting effect of the first support portion 22 on the housing 10.

[0072] It should be noted that the second support 21 abuts against the abutting side 22a. The two can abut against each other directly or indirectly through other structures. As long as the abutting effect is achieved, it is acceptable.

[0073] Similarly, the connecting support 23 is attached to the abutting side 22a. The two can be directly contacted and attached, or they can be indirectly attached together through other structures, as long as they can be attached.

[0074] Specifically, one side of the second support 21 is movably connected to the housing 10, while the other side abuts against the abutting side 22a of the first support 22. Thus, the user can support the housing 10 using the first support 22, and the second support 21 can support the first support 22. This allows the second support 21, the first support 22, and the housing 10 bracket to form a triangular support structure, resulting in better support of the housing 10 by the bracket assembly 20.

[0075] In fact, in the supported state, the connecting support part 23 is in close contact with the abutting side 22a. During the process of the bracket assembly 20 switching from the supported state to the stored state, both the second support part 21 and the first support part 22 will rotate relative to the housing 10, and the connecting support part 23 will also flip relative to the first support part 22 to disengage from the contacting side 22a, thereby facilitating the rotation of the second support part 21 and the first support part 22 relative to the housing 10.

[0076] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 The automatically deployable support shell also includes a first magnetic member 50 disposed on the first support portion 22. When the support assembly 20 is in the supported state, the first magnetic member 50 is magnetically connected to the connecting support portion 23. This allows for better support of the support assembly 20 in the supported state.

[0077] Specifically, since the connecting support portion 23 and the abutting side 22a are in contact with each other in the supported state, a first magnetic member 50 can be provided on the first support portion 22 to magnetically engage with the connecting support portion 23, thereby improving the stability of the connecting support portion 23 in contact with the abutting side 22a and making the connection between the connecting support portion 23 and the first support portion 22 more stable. This makes the abutment between the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 more stable, thus making the support effect of the bracket assembly 20 on the housing 10 more robust.

[0078] It is understandable that the connecting support portion 23 can be magnetically connected to the first magnetic member 50. Depending on the actual situation, a magnetic structure may be provided on the connecting support portion 23 to magnetically engage with the first magnetic member 50, thereby achieving a magnetic connection between the connecting support portion 23 and the first magnetic member 50. Alternatively, the connecting support portion 23 itself may be magnetic, enabling it to magnetically engage with the first magnetic member 50.

[0079] For example, the connecting support part 23 is an iron bracket plate.

[0080] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The automatically unfolding support shell also includes a second magnetic member 60 disposed on the shell 10. When the support assembly 20 is in the retracted state, the connecting support part 23 fits against the second support part 21 and is magnetically connected to the second magnetic member 60. This improves the connection stability between the support assembly 20 and the shell 10 in the retracted state.

[0081] Specifically, in the stored state, the connecting support 23 is not attached to the first support 22, but to the second support 21. By providing a second magnetic member 60 in the housing 10 area corresponding to the connecting support 23, the connecting support 23 can be magnetically attached to the housing 10 in the stored state, thereby preventing the connecting support 23 from shaking.

[0082] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 The automatically unfolding support shell also includes a ring magnet 70. When the support assembly 20 is in the retracted state, a part of the first support 22 is in contact with the second support 21, and another part of the first support 22 forms a clearance area 22b that avoids the second support 21. The ring magnet 70 is disposed between the clearance area 22b and the shell 10.

[0083] Specifically, by setting a ring magnet 70, the bracket shell can be automatically unfolded and attached to external devices with magnetic structures, such as magnetically coupled wireless chargers, car mounts, wallets or electronic devices that support magnetic attraction.

[0084] The annular magnet 70 is positioned within the coverage area of ​​the first support portion 22, but not within the coverage area of ​​the second support portion 21. From a projection perspective, in the retracted state, on a projection plane parallel to the first support portion 22, a portion of the projection area of ​​the first support portion 22 overlaps with a portion of the projection area of ​​the second support portion 21. Another portion of the projection area of ​​the first support portion 22 (i.e., the projection area of ​​the clearance area 22b) is located outside the projection area of ​​the second support portion 21. The projection of the annular magnet 70 is located within the projection area of ​​the clearance area 22b.

[0085] Therefore, by placing the annular magnet 70 between the clearance area 22b and the housing 10, the space on the housing 10 can be utilized better, thereby reducing the overall size of the automatic deployment bracket housing. Furthermore, the side of the annular magnet 70 closest to the clearance area 22b is only covered by the first support portion 22, while the second support portion 21 does not obstruct the annular magnet 70. This improves the magnetic coupling effect between the annular magnet 70 and external devices.

[0086] In one specific embodiment, the distance between the annular magnetic field generated by the annular magnet 70 and the external device is greater than or equal to 0.8 mm and less than or equal to 1 mm, which can greatly improve the magnetic attraction force.

[0087] It should be noted that the specific arrangement of the annular magnet 70 on the housing 10 is not limited.

[0088] For example, a portion of the housing 10 is recessed to form an annular groove, and an annular magnet 70 is disposed in the annular groove. This effectively reduces the overall thickness of the automatic deployment support housing, achieving a thinner and lighter design.

[0089] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 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 10b, and the bracket assembly 20 is movably disposed within the mounting cavity 10b.

[0090] In the stowed state, the outer surface of the bracket assembly 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.

[0091] In other words, in the stored state, the bracket assembly 20 is stored in the mounting cavity 10b, and the outer surface of the bracket assembly 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 prone to accumulating dirt and grime, and has a higher aesthetic appeal and better performance.

[0092] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The 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 10b, and the bracket assembly 20 is movably disposed within the mounting cavity 10b.

[0093] In the stowed state, the first support portion 22 and the connecting support portion 23 are located in the same plane and are flush with the outer surface of the housing 10 on the side opposite to the receiving cavity 10a. As a result, the side of the automatically unfolding bracket housing opposite to the receiving cavity 10a is less prone to accumulating dirt and grime, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and better usability.

[0094] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 The bracket assembly 20 also includes a leather sleeve 24, which comprises multiple interconnected leather segments 241. A second support 21, a first support 22, and a connecting support 23 are respectively disposed within each leather segment 241 and are movably connected via the leather sleeve 24. This allows for a flexible connection between the support segments through the foldable nature of the leather sleeve 24, enabling the support segments to form a single unit, facilitating quick and easy opening of the bracket by the user.

[0095] In one specific embodiment, the second support portion 21, the first support portion 22, and the connecting support portion 23 are encapsulated in a leather sleeve 24 using a pressing process, so that the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 20 is greater than or equal to 0.8 mm and less than or equal to 1.2 mm. This reduces the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 20.

[0096] In one specific embodiment, the spacing between adjacent support parts is greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm. This allows for easy connection between adjacent support parts while ensuring good support function of the bracket assembly 20.

[0097] In one specific embodiment, the areas of the leather sleeve 24 located on the opposite sides of the second support portion 21 and the first support portion 22 both pass through the housing 10 and are fixed within the groove inside the housing. This improves the connection stability between the leather sleeve 24 and the housing 10.

[0098] In one embodiment, in the vertical support mode, the support angle between the housing 10 and the support plane is greater than or equal to 50° and less than or equal to 60°, such as 50°, 55°, or 60°. In the vertical support mode, by controlling the support angle between the housing 10 and the support plane within the above range, it is convenient for users to use the electronic device vertically, which can meet the user's viewing angle requirements.

[0099] In one embodiment, in the lateral support mode, the support angle between the housing 10 and the support plane is greater than or equal to 50° and less than or equal to 60°, such as 50°, 55°, or 60°. In the lateral support mode, by controlling the support angle between the housing 10 and the support plane within the above range, it is convenient for users to use the electronic device horizontally, which can meet the user's viewing angle requirements.

[0100] In one embodiment, the automatically deployable bracket housing further includes a first liner, and the trigger assembly 40 is disposed within the receiving cavity 10a of the housing 10. The first liner covers the side of the trigger assembly 40 facing away from the bracket assembly 20. Thus, when the trigger assembly 40 is provided with a fourth magnetic 82, the mutual interference between the fourth magnetic 82 and the electronic device can be reduced, while simultaneously covering various fittings and grooves within the receiving cavity 10a.

[0101] In one embodiment, the automatically deployable support shell further includes a second liner plate disposed between the annular magnet 70 and the clearance area 22b of the first support portion 22 to shield the annular magnet 70.

[0102] In one embodiment, the drive assembly 30 includes a drive rope 31, one end of which is driven to the movable connection between the second support portion 21 and the connecting support portion 23, and the other end is driven to the side of the first support portion 22 opposite to the connecting support portion 23.

[0103] The trigger component 40 is movably mounted on the housing 10, so that the drive rope 31 can be moved to switch the support assembly 20 from a retracted state to a supported state. During the switch, the drive rope 31 drives the second support portion 21, the connecting support portion 23, and the first support portion 22 to move relative to each other, forming a support angle. Thus, the user can trigger the trigger component 40 to move the drive rope 31 relative to the second support portion 21, the connecting support portion 23, and the first support portion 22, switching from the retracted state to the supported state. This allows the trigger component 40 to automatically unfold the support assembly 20 without requiring the user to manually fold or pry it open, making operation more convenient.

[0104] The driving rope 31 is an elastic rope or elastic band with driving force. Its cross-sectional shape is not limited, such as a circular cross-section elastic rope or a flat cross-section elastic rope.

[0105] Driven by the drive rope 31, the connecting support 23 can rotate relative to the second support 21 and the second support 21, and the second support 21 and the second support 21 can rotate relative to the housing 10, thereby switching the bracket assembly 20 to the support state.

[0106] The specific connection method between the drive rope 31 and the bracket assembly 20 is not limited.

[0107] For example, one end of the drive rope 31 is driven to the side of the second support 21 away from the connecting support 23, and the other end of the drive rope 31 is driven to the side of the second support 21 close to the connecting support 23. Thus, the connecting support 23 can be pulled to rotate relative to the second support 21 and the second support 23.

[0108] For example, one end of the drive rope 31 is driven to the side of the second support 21 away from the connecting support 23, and the other end of the drive rope 31 is driven to the side of the connecting support 23 close to the second support 21. Thus, the connecting support 23 can be pulled to rotate relative to the second support 21 and the second support 21.

[0109] For example, one end of the drive rope 31 is driven to the side of the second support portion 21 opposite to the connecting support portion 23, and the bracket assembly 20 has a connection area located between the second support portion 21 and the connecting support portion 23. The other end of the drive rope 31 is driven to the connection area. Thus, the connecting support portion 23 can be pulled to rotate relative to the second support portion 21 and the second support portion 23.

[0110] One end of the drive rope 31 is driven to the movable connection between the second support 21 and the connecting support 23, and the other end is driven to the side of the first support 22 opposite to the connecting support 23. Thus, when the user triggers the trigger component 40, the drive rope 31 can drive the second support 21, the connecting support 23, and the first support 22 to move relative to the housing 10, thereby switching the bracket assembly 20 from the storage state to the support state.

[0111] It is understandable that the drive rope 31 can be directly connected to the corresponding support, or the drive rope 31 can be indirectly connected to the corresponding support through other structures.

[0112] For example, the support assembly 20 includes a leather sleeve 24 fitted over each support portion, and the two ends of the drive rope 31 are connected to the outer leather sleeve 24 of the corresponding support portion, which can also achieve a drive connection with the support portion.

[0113] In fact, when the support assembly 20 is in its retracted state, the drive rope 31 is in a stretched state and possesses elastic potential energy. When the user triggers the trigger component 40, the drive rope 31 contracts, thereby pulling the second support part 21, the connecting support part 23, and the first support part 22 to move relative to each other, allowing the support assembly 20 to move relative to the shell 10, thus switching to the supported state. Simultaneously, under the tension of the drive rope 31, the support assembly 20 provides good support, effectively supporting the shell 10.

[0114] It should be noted that the bracket assembly 20 needs to overcome the tension of the drive rope 31 to switch from the supported state to the retracted state. This can be achieved by the user manually pressing the bracket assembly 20 to overcome the tension of the drive rope 31 and return it to the retracted state. Of course, depending on the structure of the automatically unfolding bracket shell, it can also be achieved in other ways, such as the user triggering the trigger component 40 again to switch the bracket assembly 20 from the supported state to the retracted state.

[0115] The trigger component 40 is movably mounted on the housing 10. It should be noted that when the user does not trigger the trigger component 40, the trigger component 40 does not move relative to the housing 10, and therefore the drive rope 31 will not drive the support assembly 20 to switch from the storage state to the support state. The specific implementation method is not limited.

[0116] For example, the trigger component 40 has a locked state for locking the drive rope 31 and an unlocked state for unlocking the drive rope 31. The trigger component 40 can switch between the locked and unlocked states through movement. When the trigger component 40 is not triggered by the user, the trigger component 40 locks the drive rope 31, preventing the drive rope 31 from driving the support assembly 20 to the supported state. When the user triggers the trigger component 40, the trigger component 40 unlocks the drive rope 31 through movement, allowing the drive rope 31 to drive the support assembly 20 to the supported state. In other words, the trigger component 40 switches from locking to unlocking the drive rope 31 through movement, thereby enabling the drive rope 31 to drive the support assembly 20. This allows the user to easily unlock the support assembly 20 with a single click.

[0117] For example, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 13 The drive assembly 30 also includes a locking structure 80; at least a portion of the locking structure 80 is disposed on the bracket assembly 20 for locking the bracket assembly 20 in a stowed state.

[0118] The trigger component 40 is driven to connect with the locking structure 80. The trigger component 40 reduces the locking effect of the locking structure 80 on the bracket assembly 20 by moving, so that the drive rope 31 drives the bracket assembly 20.

[0119] Specifically, the trigger component 40 does not lock the drive rope 31, but is driven to connect with the locking structure 80 so as to reduce the locking effect of the locking structure 80 on the support assembly 20 by moving, thereby making it easier for the drive rope 31 to drive the support assembly 20 to move to the support state.

[0120] The locking structure 80 can be provided on the bracket assembly 20 in only a part of the area, or it can be provided on the bracket assembly 20 in the entire area.

[0121] The locking structure 80 is a structure that can lock the bracket assembly 20 onto the housing 10 to achieve a locking function. Its specific structure is not limited, such as a magnetic locking structure 80, a snap-fit ​​locking structure 80, a sliding locking structure 80, etc.

[0122] The trigger component 40 allows the user to apply force so that the drive rope 31 can drive the support component 20 to switch to the support state. For example, the trigger component 40 can be a pressable button structure, a pullable pull trigger, a rotatable rotation trigger, or a toggle trigger.

[0123] For example, the trigger component 40 is a button structure provided on the housing 10. In fact, the trigger component 40 can be pressed by the user so that the trigger component 40 can move relative to the housing 10.

[0124] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 13 The locking structure 80 includes a third magnetic member 81 and a fourth magnetic member 82. The third magnetic member 81 is disposed on the second support portion 21, and the fourth magnetic member 82 magnetically engages with the third magnetic member 81 to lock the bracket assembly 20 in a stored state.

[0125] The trigger component 40 is driven to connect with the fourth magnetic 82. The trigger component 40 drives the fourth magnetic 82 to move, thereby reducing the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnetic 82 and the third magnetic 81. The drive rope 31 drives the bracket assembly 20 to rotate from the storage state to the support state.

[0126] In other words, the user can trigger the trigger component 40, which in turn moves the fourth magnetic component 82, reducing the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnetic component 82 and the third magnetic component 81 to less than the driving force of the drive rope 31. This allows the drive rope 31 to drive the support assembly 20 to move, switching it from a stored state to a supported state. Therefore, the support assembly 20 can be automatically unfolded by triggering the trigger component 40, eliminating the need for the user to manually fold or pry it open, making operation more convenient.

[0127] The locking structure 80 is designed to improve the connection stability between the bracket assembly 20 and the housing 10. The cooperation of the third magnetic member 81 and the fourth magnetic member 82 prevents the bracket assembly 20 from being accidentally opened when stored, thus improving its stability in the stored state.

[0128] When the user triggers the trigger component 40 to make the trigger component 40 move, the fourth magnetic member 82 can move to reduce the magnetic attraction between it and the third magnetic member 81, thereby making it easier for the drive rope 31 to drive the support assembly 20 to move to the support state.

[0129] The third magnetic chuck 81 is disposed on the second support portion 21, and the third magnetic chuck 81 can move as the second support portion 21 moves. The installation method of the third magnetic chuck 81 on the second support portion 21 is not limited.

[0130] For example, a portion of the second support 21 is recessed to form a recessed area, and the third magnetic member 81 is engaged in the recessed area.

[0131] It should be noted that the trigger component 40 and the fourth magnetic element 82 can be directly connected for driving, or they can be connected via a transmission component for driving.

[0132] The fourth magnetic member 82 and the third magnetic member 81 are magnetic structures that can be attracted together by magnetic attraction, such as magnets. The fourth magnetic member 82 and the third magnetic member 81 are magnetically attracted to each other. They can be directly attached together by magnetic attraction, or they can be separated by other structures (such as a part of the housing 10), but they can still be attracted together by magnetic attraction to lock the bracket assembly 20.

[0133] The widths of the third magnetic component 81 and the fourth magnetic component 82 can be the same or different. Their specific values ​​can be set according to the actual situation. For example, the widths of the third magnetic component 81 and the fourth magnetic component 82 are the same, and the width is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 2 mm.

[0134] The number of the third magnetic component 81 and the fourth magnetic component 82 can be set according to actual needs; there can be only one or multiple components.

[0135] The trigger component 40 drives the fourth magnetic component 82 to move, thereby reducing the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnetic component 82 and the third magnetic component 81. It can be understood that, driven by the trigger component 40, the fourth magnetic component 82 and the third magnetic component 81 can either directly disconnect their magnetic connection or weaken the magnetic attraction between them, thus causing the magnetic attraction to disappear under the drive of the drive rope 31. The specific setting can be configured according to actual conditions.

[0136] For example, the third magnetic member 81 and the fourth magnetic member 82 are magnetically attracted to each other along a third direction; the trigger component 40 drives the fourth magnetic member 82 to move along a fourth direction, so that the fourth magnetic member 82 and the third magnetic member 81 are misaligned along a third direction, so that the magnetic attraction force between the fourth magnetic member 82 and the third magnetic member 81 is less than the driving force of the drive rope 31, and the fourth direction is perpendicular to the third direction. Thus, by misaligning the fourth magnetic member 82 and the third magnetic member 81, the magnetic connection between them can be broken.

[0137] Specifically, the third magnetic attractor 81 and the fourth magnetic attractor 82 are arranged along a third direction and are magnetically connected together along the third direction.

[0138] By triggering the trigger component 40, the user can move the fourth magnetic 82 along the fourth direction. The fourth magnetic 82 is offset from the third magnetic 81 along the fourth direction, thereby reducing the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnetic 82 and the third magnetic 81.

[0139] For example, the third magnetic component 81 and the fourth magnetic component 82 are magnetically attracted to each other along a third direction. The trigger component 40 drives the fourth magnetic component 82 to move along a third direction away from the third magnetic component 81, so that the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnetic component 82 and the third magnetic component 81 is less than the driving force of the drive rope 31. In other words, by triggering the trigger component 40, the user can move the fourth magnetic component 82 away from the third magnetic component 81 along a third direction, thereby weakening or eliminating the magnetic attraction between them.

[0140] For example, both the third magnetic component 81 and the fourth magnetic component 82 are integral ultra-thin magnet structures magnetized by multiple poles. The trigger component 40 drives the fourth magnetic component 82 to move until its magnetic poles repel the magnetic poles on the third magnetic component 81, thus achieving the unlocking effect. In the stored state, the fourth magnetic component 82 is positioned where its magnetic poles attract the corresponding magnetic poles on the third magnetic component 81, thus achieving the locking effect.

[0141] In one specific embodiment, when the user does not trigger the trigger component 40, the fourth magnetic member 82 and the third magnetic member 81 are magnetically attracted to each other, and the magnetic attraction between them is greater than the driving force of the drive rope 31, which can lock the bracket assembly 20 in the stored state. This improves the stability of the bracket assembly 20 in the stored state and reduces the risk of accidental opening of the bracket assembly 20.

[0142] Specifically, when the support assembly 20 is in the retracted state, the drive rope 31 exerts a driving force on the support assembly 20. However, its driving force is less than the locking effect of the locking structure 80 on the support assembly 20, and therefore cannot drive the support assembly 20 to rotate when the locking structure 80 locks the support assembly 20. The support assembly 20 can only be moved after the locking structure 80 is unlocked.

[0143] In other embodiments, when the user does not trigger the trigger component 40, the sum of the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnetic member 82 and the third magnetic member 81, and the magnetic attraction between the second magnetic member 60 and the connecting support portion 23, may be greater than the driving force of the drive rope 31, thereby locking the bracket assembly 20 in the stored state. This improves the stability of the bracket assembly 20 in the stored state and reduces the risk of accidental opening of the bracket assembly 20.

[0144] In one embodiment, the trigger component 40 includes a button body 41 and an elastic element 42, wherein the button body 41 is movably disposed on the housing 10 along a second direction.

[0145] The elastic element 42 includes a spring arm, one end of which is connected to the housing 10, and the other end is connected to one side of the button body 41 along a first direction, which is perpendicular to a second direction. Thus, when the user presses the button body 41, the button body 41 causes the drive rope 31 to drive the support assembly 20 to switch to the supported state, and the spring arm undergoes elastic deformation and stores elastic force. When the user releases the pressure on the button body 41, the button body 41 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the spring arm, allowing for subsequent pressing of the button body 41.

[0146] It should be noted that the spring arm and the button body 41 can be integrally formed or separately formed.

[0147] There is no limit to the number of spring arms that can be installed.

[0148] For example, a spring arm is provided on each of the opposite sides of the button body 41 along the first direction.

[0149] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 13 The trigger component 40 includes a button body 41 and an elastic element 42. The button body 41 is movably disposed on the housing 10 along the second direction.

[0150] The elastic element 42 includes an elastic strip 421, and the trigger assembly 40 also includes a fixing plate 43 fixed to the housing 10. The fixing plate 43 is disposed on one side of the button body 41 along the second direction and forms a gap space 40a with the button body 41. The elastic strip 421 is disposed in the gap space 40a, and its opposite ends are respectively connected to the button body 41 and the fixing plate 43. This facilitates the reset of the button body 41.

[0151] Specifically, when the user presses the button body 41, the button body 41 causes the drive rope 31 to drive the support assembly 20 to switch to the supported state, and the elastic strip 421 undergoes elastic deformation and stores elastic force. When the user releases the press of the button body 41, the button body 41 resets under the action of the elastic force of the elastic strip 421, so that the button body 41 can be pressed again in the future.

[0152] There is no limit to the number of elastic bars 421 that can be set.

[0153] For example, multiple elastic strips 421 are provided between the button body 41 and the fixing plate 43, and each elastic strip 421 is spaced apart along the first direction.

[0154] In one embodiment, 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 10b, a bracket assembly 20 is rotatably disposed within the mounting cavity 10b, and the housing 10 further includes a back plate located between the receiving cavity 10a and the bracket assembly 20, the back plate having the mounting cavity 10b, and the thickness of the back plate being less than or equal to 4 mm. This allows for a thinner and lighter automatically deployable bracket housing.

[0155] In one embodiment, the third magnetic member 81 and the fourth magnetic member 82 have the same width, which is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 1.5 mm. Thus, by triggering the trigger component 40, the user can cause the third magnetic member 81 and the fourth magnetic member 82 to be misaligned by 1 mm to 1.5 mm, which will cause the bracket assembly 20 to spring up due to the elastic force of the elastic rope.
