Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile phone holder technology, specifically to a suction cup holder. Background Technology

[0002] A phone holder is a device used to mount and support a mobile phone. Suction cup holders are a type of car phone holder; they use suction cups to adhere to the surface of an object, thus securing the phone in its position.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 202223347604.2, entitled "A Suction Cup Type Mobile Phone Stand Base," is shown in the attached drawings (of this application). Figure 27 and Figure 28 This phone holder base uses a suction cup for attachment. However, a drawback is the high ratio between the height H of the suction cup mechanism 1 and its diameter D, resulting in a bulky suction cup mechanism 1 with a relatively high height H (or thickness). This height restricts installation in spaces with limited space and may affect the adjustment freedom of the linkage mechanism 2, reducing its flexibility. Furthermore, the switch 106 is located at the center of the suction cup mechanism 1 and is an upward-flipping cam mechanism, further increasing the required height at the installation location.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a suction cup bracket, comprising a housing, a suction cup, and a drive mechanism and a control component disposed on the housing; the housing has a hollow structure, with an opening penetrating the housing on its side or upper side; the drive mechanism includes a first movable component, which is at least partially disposed within the cavity of the hollow structure; the suction cup is located outside the housing, and includes a skirt with a boss in the central region of the skirt; the boss is connected to the first movable component.

[0006] The control component is oscillatingly connected to the housing through the opening; and the control component oscillates in the thickness direction of the housing; the control component is connected to the drive mechanism to directly or indirectly drive the first moving component to reciprocate in the thickness direction;

[0007] The control element includes a first component located at least partially within the housing, and a second component extending from the first component through an opening and outward from the housing, wherein the second component includes a wrench for external force control; the wrench is biased to the outer periphery of the housing.

[0008] When an external force drives the wrench, the control component swings in the thickness direction to drive the drive mechanism to move the boss upward or downward in the thickness direction of the suction cup bracket, thereby determining whether the housing and the skirt abut against each other, thus allowing the suction cup to be adsorbed or de-adsorbed relative to the adsorbed surface.

[0009] Optionally, the suction cup is circular, the housing has a circular mating surface that matches the suction cup, and the control element extends beyond the outer edge of the circular mating surface.

[0010] Optionally, the swing connection between the control component and the housing is a rotary connection;

[0011] The control element includes a drive unit; when the control element rotates relative to the housing, the drive unit drives the first movable element to move forward or backward in a first direction.

[0012] Optionally, the drive mechanism further includes a second movable member, both of which are movably connected to the housing; wherein the suction cup is connected to the second movable member;

[0013] The first movable member is oriented in a first direction relative to the housing, and the second movable member is oriented in a second direction relative to the housing, wherein the first direction and the second direction are not parallel.

[0014] The control member is used to drive the first movable member to move in a first direction; wherein, when the first movable member moves in the first direction, it drives the second movable member to move in a second direction.

[0019] Optionally, a support body is provided on the housing, the support body including a mounting part, wherein the mounting part is used to directly or indirectly install the mobile phone.

[0020] Optionally, the support body also includes a connecting arm, one end of which is connected to the mounting part and the other end of which is connected to the housing.

[0021] Optionally, the second component and the first component are an integral structure, wherein the second component is at least partially located outside the housing; or,

[0022] The second component is detachably connected to the first component; or...

[0023] The second component is movably connected to the first component, wherein the second component is movable relative to the first component such that the second component at least partially extends outside the housing or retracts into the housing. The beneficial effects of this application include at least:

[0024] The suction cup holder proposed in this application allows the user to control the operating mechanism with their fingers. The opening is located on the side or upper side of the housing, and the drive mechanism can fully utilize the space along the inner edge of the housing for installation and to move the drive boss up or down, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the housing. This reduces the height of the suction cup holder and eliminates the need for a switch on the top of the housing, lowering the required height at the installation location and facilitating the free adjustment of the linkage mechanism on the suction cup holder.

[0059] Example 1

[0060] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The suction cup support 10 includes a housing 100, a suction cup 300, and a drive mechanism 200 and a control member 210 disposed on the housing 100. The housing 100 has a hollow structure, and an opening 101 penetrating the housing 100 is provided on the side or upper side of the housing 100. The drive mechanism 200 includes a first movable member 220, which is at least partially disposed within the cavity 130 of the hollow structure. Specifically, the cavity 130 is the internal space cavity formed by hollowing out the inside of the housing 100.

[0061] The suction cup 300 is located outside the housing 100. The suction cup 300 includes a skirt and a boss 310 is provided in the central area of ​​the skirt. The boss 310 is connected to the first movable member 220.

[0062] Specifically, the drive mechanism 200 may have only one first movable member 220, or it may have one movable member and one driven member. Multiple transitional drive members may also be included between the movable member and the driven member. That is, the drive mechanism 200 may have only the first movable member 220, or it may have other components besides the first movable member 220; this is not specifically limited here. For example, when there is only one first movable member 220, the control member 210 swings and directly drives the first movable member 220 to reciprocate in the thickness direction. When the drive mechanism 200 includes a driven member connected to the movable member in addition to the movable member, the control member 210 drives the driven member to move in a first direction, and the driven member directly or indirectly drives the movable member to move in a second direction, which may be the thickness direction of the housing 100. The first and second directions are not necessarily perpendicular; this is not specifically limited here.

[0063] The control member 210 is oscillatingly connected to the housing 100 through the opening 101; and the control member 210 oscillates in the thickness direction of the housing 100; the control member 210 is connected to the drive mechanism 200 to directly or indirectly drive the first movable member 220 to reciprocate in the thickness direction.

[0064] The instruction manual clearly states that the control element 210 includes a first component 241 at least partially located within the housing 100, and a second component 242 extending from the first component 241 through the opening 101 and outward from the housing 100. The second component 242 includes a wrench for external force operation; the wrench is offset outside the periphery 103 of the housing 100. Specifically, as... Figure 2 As shown, the outer perimeter 103 of the housing 100 refers to the direction in which the side wall of the housing 100 faces outward, that is, the wrench is offset in the direction in which the side wall of the housing 100 faces outward.

[0065] When the wrench is driven by an external force, the control member 210 swings in the thickness direction to drive the drive mechanism 200 to move the boss 310 upward or downward in the thickness direction of the suction cup bracket 10, so as to determine whether the housing 100 and the skirt are abutting, thereby allowing the suction cup 300 to be adsorbed or de-adsorbed relative to the adsorbed surface.

[0066] The suction cup 300 is elastic and can be made of silicone, rubber, or other elastic polymer materials. The bottom surface (i.e., the adsorption surface) of the suction cup 300 can be directly adsorbed onto smooth surfaces (such as glass surfaces, tile surfaces, etc.).

[0067] In some other embodiments, the bottom surface of the suction cup 300 may be provided with an adhesive layer, wherein, under the action of the adhesive layer, the suction cup 300 can adsorb and adhere to a rough surface (such as a textured leather surface). The adhesive layer includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, etc. Specifically, the material of the adhesive layer may also refer to the prior art, which will not be elaborated further in this document.

[0068] The surfaces to be absorbed include desktops, tile surfaces, glass surfaces, or vehicle dashboards, etc.

[0069] The control element 210 includes a first component 241 located at least partially within the housing 100, and a second component 242 extending from the first component 241 through the opening 101 and outward from the housing 100, wherein the second component 242 includes a wrench for external force operation. The user can directly operate the wrench portion of the control element 210 located outside the housing 100.

[0070] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The control member 210 is movable relative to the housing 100, wherein the control member 210 is used to generate displacement in the thickness direction of the housing 100, causing the drive mechanism 200 to actuate to drive the suction cup 300. Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the diagram, arrow y is parallel to the thickness direction of the shell 100.

[0071] When installing the suction cup bracket 10, the opening 101 can face the user's side, facilitating operation of the control component 210. The user can operate the control component 210 with a single finger, causing it to shift along the thickness of the housing 100. This allows the drive mechanism 200 to drive the suction cup 300 to adhere to or release the suction surface. The user can control the control component 210 with their finger. With the opening 101 located on the side or upper side of the housing 100, the drive mechanism 200 can fully utilize the space along the inner edge of the housing 100 for installation and to drive the boss 310 upward or downward, effectively reducing the overall thickness of the housing 100. This reduces the height of the suction cup bracket 10 and eliminates the need for additional components on the top of the housing 100. Figure 27 and Figure 28 The switch 106 in the middle reduces the space height requirement at the installation position and also facilitates the free adjustment of the linkage mechanism on the suction cup bracket 10.

[0072] The housing 100 has a circular mating surface 124 that matches the suction cup 300, and the control member 210 extends out of the outer edge of the circular mating surface 124 to facilitate the matching and installation of the suction cup 300.

[0073] The control member 210 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. The control member 210 includes a drive unit 212; when the control member 210 rotates relative to the housing 100, the drive unit 212 drives the first movable member 220 to move forward or backward in a first direction.

[0074] like Figure 3As shown, the drive mechanism 200 also includes a second movable member 230. Both the first movable member 220 and the second movable member 230 are movably connected to the housing 100; wherein, the suction cup 300 is connected to the second movable member 230. This solution achieves the movement of the drive structure through the cooperation of the second movable member 230 and the first movable member 220.

[0075] Specifically, the first movable member 220 is oriented in a first direction relative to the movable direction of the housing 100, and the second movable member 230 is oriented in a second direction relative to the movable direction of the housing 100, wherein the first direction and the second direction are not parallel; in the accompanying drawings, the first direction is parallel to the direction indicated by arrow x, and the second direction is parallel to the direction indicated by arrow y.

[0076] The control member 210 is used to drive the first movable member 220 to move in a first direction; wherein, when the first movable member 220 moves in the first direction, it drives the second movable member 230 to move in a second direction. Specifically, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, wherein the second direction is the thickness direction of the housing 100.

[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, the housing 100 includes a cover 110 and a base 120, wherein the cover 110 and the base 120 can be detachably and fixedly connected by means of snap-fit, screw connection or other methods. An opening 101 is provided on the side or above the side of the cover 110.

[0078] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, sliding grooves 221 are provided on both sides of the first movable member 220, and guide blocks 121 corresponding to the sliding grooves 221 are provided on the housing 120. The guide blocks 121 are inserted into the corresponding sliding grooves 221, and the guide blocks 121 and the corresponding sliding grooves 221 are slidably connected. The cooperation between the guide blocks 121 and the sliding grooves 221 guides the first movable member 220, so that the available direction of the first movable member 220 relative to the housing 100 is parallel to the first direction.

[0079] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second movable member 230 includes a sliding body 231, and the housing 120 is provided with a sliding hole 122 arranged along the thickness direction of the housing 100, wherein the sliding body 231 is slidably inserted into the sliding hole 122.

[0080] Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the sliding body 231 is provided with a plurality of insertion teeth 2311, and the inner wall of the sliding hole 122 is provided with a plurality of insertion grooves 1221. The insertion teeth 2311 are inserted into the corresponding insertion grooves 1221 to restrict the second movable member 230, so that the second movable member 230 and the housing 120 cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0081] like Figure 10 As shown, a mounting base 2312 is provided at the bottom of the sliding body 231, wherein the suction cup 300 is connected to the mounting base 2312. Specifically, as... Figure 3 As shown, a boss 310 is provided in the middle of the top side of the suction cup 300, and the mounting base 2312 can be inserted into the mounting cavity inside the boss 310. The mounting base 2312 and the boss 310 can be connected by snap-fit ​​or plug-in.

[0082] Reference Figure 3 The suction cup 300 is pre-attached to the surface to be suctioned; when the second movable member 230 moves in a direction parallel to the second direction and toward the side where the top of the housing 100 is located (refer to...) Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the second movable part 230 moves vertically upward, the middle part of the suction cup 300 moves synchronously with the second movable part 230.

[0083] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 From the perspective of the second movable member 230, as the second movable member 230 moves relative to the housing 100, the housing 100 moves downward relative to the second movable member 230, which causes the housing base 120 of the housing 100 to press against the skirt of the suction cup 300 (i.e., Figure 3 The outer periphery of the central boss 310 is pressed against the surface to be adsorbed, thereby achieving relative fixation between the suction cup 300 and the surface to be adsorbed, and also serving to expel the air between the bottom surface of the suction cup 300 and the surface to be adsorbed; at the same time, the middle part of the suction cup 300 and the second movable member 230 move upward relative to the housing 100, thus causing the suction cup 300 to deform, thereby further increasing the vacuum degree between the bottom surface of the suction cup 300 and the surface to be adsorbed, which allows the suction cup 300 to reliably adsorb onto the surface to be adsorbed under the action of negative pressure.

[0084] When assembling the second movable part 230 with the housing 120, the mounting base 2312 enters and passes through the sliding hole 122, and then the suction cup 300 is installed on the mounting base 2312. The sliding body 231 is slidably connected to the sliding hole 122.

[0085] like Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the control component 210 includes a transition portion 211, and the housing 120 includes a connecting portion 123. Both the transition portion 211 and the connecting portion 123 are provided with shaft holes for a connecting shaft to pass through. The connecting shaft is inserted into the shaft holes of the transition portion 211 and the connecting portion 123, thereby achieving a rotatable connection between the control component 210 and the housing 120.

[0086] like Figure 11As shown, the control member 210 includes a drive unit 212. The drive unit 212 is used to drive the first movable member 220 to move in a direction parallel to the first direction when the control member 210 rotates relative to the housing 100.

[0087] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first movable component 220 includes a linkage groove 222, wherein the linkage groove 222 is used to install the drive unit 212.

[0088] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, the linkage groove 222 includes a first abutting inner wall 2221, a second abutting inner wall 2222, an open end 2223, and a closed end 2224. When the first movable member 220 and the housing 100 are in an assembled state, the first abutting inner wall 2221 and the second abutting inner wall 2222 are arranged opposite each other in a direction parallel to the first direction, and the open end 2223 and the closed end 2224 are arranged opposite each other in a direction parallel to the second direction. Furthermore, in the direction parallel to the first direction, the first abutting inner wall 2221 is closer to the sliding hole 122 and the driving structure 2231 than the second abutting inner wall 2222. (Refer to...) Figure 13 When assembling the control component 210 and the first movable component 220, the drive unit 212 can be inserted into the linkage groove 222 from the open end 2223.

[0089] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first movable component 220 includes two spaced-apart drive arms 223, located on both sides of the sliding hole 122. Each drive arm 223 has a plurality of drive structures 2231 arranged sequentially along a first direction. In this embodiment, each drive arm 223 has two drive structures 2231, each drive structure 2231 including a protrusion facing away from the side where the suction cup 300 is located.

[0090] like Figure 10 and Figure 14 As shown, the second movable member 230 includes a driven structure 232, which corresponds one-to-one with the driving structure 2231. The driven structure 232 includes a first receiving cavity 2321 and a second receiving cavity 2322 arranged sequentially along a first direction, with the first receiving cavity 2321 being farther from the opening 101 and the control member 210 than the second receiving cavity 2322. Furthermore, in a direction parallel to the second direction, the first receiving cavity 2321 is closer to the suction cup 300 than the second receiving cavity 2322, and furthermore, the top of the first receiving cavity 2321 is closer to the suction cup 300 than the top of the second receiving cavity 2322. Figure 14In the middle, the top of the first receiving cavity 2321 and the second receiving cavity 2322 are respectively the top of their respective cavities.

[0091] like Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment, the second receiving cavity 2322 includes a positioning surface 2323 and a guiding surface 2324 disposed on both sides of the top of the second receiving cavity 2322. The positioning surface 2323 is closer to the opening 101 than the guiding surface 2324. Both the positioning surface 2323 and the guiding surface 2324 belong to the inner wall of the second receiving cavity 2322. A corner portion 2325 is provided between the first receiving cavity 2321 and the guiding surface 2324. The corner portion 2325 can protrude towards the side where the suction cup 300 is located. The inner wall of the first receiving cavity 2321 and the guiding surface 2324 are both smoothly connected to the corner portion 2325. The corner portion 2325 includes an arc-shaped surface.

[0092] Reference Figure 14 The top end of the guide surface 2324 is connected to the top end of the corresponding second receiving cavity 2322, and the bottom end of the guide surface 2324 is connected to the corresponding corner portion 2325. Parallel to the second direction (i.e., Figure 14 In the vertical direction, from the top to the bottom of the guide surface 2324, the vertical distance between the guide surface 2324 and the corresponding corner portion 2325 gradually decreases.

[0093] like Figure 14 ,like Figure 15 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, when the suction cup 300 is in the initial state, the suction cup 300 is in a natural state (no deformation occurs). At this time, the driving structure 2231 of the first movable member 220 is located in the second receiving cavity 2322 of the second movable member 230. The positioning surface 2323 is in contact with the corresponding driving structure 2231 to position the driving structure 2231.

[0094] When the suction cup 300 deforms and is in an adsorption deformation state, the driving structure 2231 of the first movable member 220 is located in the first receiving cavity 2321 of the second movable member 230; the corner portion 2325 achieves self-locking of the corresponding driving mechanism 200, so that the first movable member 220 can be stably embedded in the first receiving cavity 2321 without the action of a certain external force, and will not automatically move from the first receiving cavity 2321 into the second receiving cavity 2322.

[0095] Suction cup 300 is in its initial state:

[0096] Reference Figure 5 A force is applied to the control member 210, causing the control member 210 to rotate relative to the housing 100. At this time, the rotation direction of the control member 210 is downward (i.e., Figure 5Rotate clockwise (indicating direction) until the control element 210 rotates to... Figure 6 The location shown;

[0097] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 During the rotation of the control member 210, the drive unit 212 acts on the first abutting inner wall 2221. Due to the constraint of the housing 100, under the action of the control member 210, the first movable member 220 moves relative to the housing 100 in a direction parallel to the first direction, while the position of the second movable member 230 in the first direction remains unchanged; wherein, referring to Figure 16 During the rotation of the control component 210, the first movable component 220 moves horizontally to the right;

[0098] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 When the first movable member 220 moves in a direction parallel to the first direction, the driving structure 2231 on the first movable member 220 gradually moves out of the second receiving cavity 2322 and moves along the guide surface 2324. After passing the corner 2325, it enters the first receiving cavity 2321. Finally, the top of the driving structure 2231 is opposite to and in contact with the top of the first receiving cavity 2321. During this process, the driving structure 2231 applies a component force parallel to the second direction to the second movable member 230, thereby causing the second movable member 230 to translate vertically upward. Figure 16 and Figure 17 (as shown in the orientation); wherein, the skirt of the suction cup 300 is pressed tightly by the housing 120, so that the skirt of the suction cup 300 remains relatively fixed with the surface to be attracted, while the middle part of the suction cup 300 moves with the second movable member 230 (the direction of movement is towards the side away from the surface to be attracted, i.e.) Figure 5 and Figure 6 (In the vertical upward direction) and deformed, the suction cup 300 enters the adsorption deformation state and is adsorbed onto the adsorbed surface.

[0099] Suction cup 300 is in a state of adsorption deformation:

[0100] Reference Figure 6 A force is applied to the control member 210, causing the control member 210 to rotate relative to the housing 100. At this time, the rotation direction of the control member 210 is upward (i.e., Figure 6 Rotate counterclockwise (indicating direction) until the control element 210 rotates to... Figure 5 The location shown;

[0101] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13During the rotation of the control member 210, the drive unit 212 acts on the second abutting inner wall 2222. Due to the constraint of the housing 100, under the action of the control member 210, the first movable member 220 moves relative to the housing 100 in a direction parallel to the first direction, while the position of the second movable member 230 in the first direction remains unchanged; wherein, referring to Figure 16 During the rotation of the control component 210, the first movable component 220 moves horizontally to the left;

[0102] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 When the first movable member 220 moves in a direction parallel to the first direction, the driving structure 2231 on the first movable member 220 gradually moves out of the first receiving cavity 2321, enters the second receiving cavity 2322 after passing the corner portion 2325, and then moves along the guide surface 2324. Finally, the top of the driving structure 2231 is opposite to and in contact with the top of the second receiving cavity 2322; during this process, the second movable member 230 is vertically translated downward under the action of the reset member 233. Figure 16 and Figure 17 (As shown in the orientation), the housing 120 moves toward the side away from the suction cup 300 and releases the pressure on the skirt of the suction cup 300; wherein, the middle part of the suction cup 300 moves with the second movable member 230, and the suction cup 300 returns to its initial state, thus releasing the suction cup 300 from adsorbing the surface.

[0103] like Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, a reset member 233 is provided on the second movable member 230, and one end of the reset member 233 is opposite to the inner top surface of the cover 110 (facing the inner wall of the suction cup 300).

[0104] The reset element 233 includes a spring, and a mounting post 111 is provided on the inner top surface of the cover 110, wherein the reset element 233 is sleeved on the mounting post 111. There are multiple reset elements 233, and the mounting post 111 corresponds to the reset element 233 one by one.

[0105] When the suction cup 300 is in the adsorption deformation state, the distance between the second movable member 230 and the inner top surface of the shell cover 110 is the smallest. At this time, the reset member 233 is squeezed by the inner top surface of the shell 100 and the second movable member 230, and deforms.

[0106] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the opening 101 is provided along the thickness direction of the housing 100, and the opening 101 includes a first end 1011 and a second end 1012. The second end 1012 is closer to the bottom of the housing 100 than the first end 1011.

[0107] When the suction cup 300 is in its initial state, the control member 210 is in contact with the first end 1011, or the control member 210 is closer to the first end 1011 than the second end 1012; when the suction cup 300 is deformed and in a state of adsorption deformation, the control member 210 is in contact with the second end 1012, or the control member 210 is closer to the second end 1012 than the first end 1011.

[0108] The first end 1011 is located on the side of the housing 100, or the first end 1011 extends to the top of the housing 100; the second end 1012 is located on the side of the housing 100. In this embodiment, the first end 1011 extends to the top of the housing 100, which increases the movable space of the control member 210, thereby increasing the rotation angle of the control member 210. Thus, without increasing the thickness of the housing 100, the movable distance of the first movable member 220 relative to the housing 100 is increased, thereby increasing the movable distance of the second movable member 230 relative to the housing 100.

[0109] Specifically, during the rotation of the control member 210 about the pivot relative to the housing 100, the control member 210 cooperates with the first movable member 220 and with the second movable member 230. This allows the second movable member 230 to be driven to make the required movement stroke when the control member 210 rotates at a limited angle, thereby causing the suction cup 300 to deform to a sufficient degree to achieve the best adsorption effect.

[0110] In some embodiments, the maximum rotatable angle of the control member 210 relative to the housing 100 is 10 to 90°; the maximum movable distance of the first movable member 220 relative to the housing 100 is 3 to 20 mm; and the maximum movable distance of the second movable member 230 relative to the housing 100 is 1 to 10 mm.

[0111] like Figure 20 As shown, a support body 400 is provided on the housing 100, and the support body 400 includes a mounting part 410, wherein the mounting part 410 is used to install the mobile phone.

[0112] In this embodiment, the mounting part 410 includes a ball head, wherein the ball head cooperates with a ball groove on the phone case to install the phone.

[0113] In other embodiments, the mounting part 410 includes a magnet, which engages with a magnetic ring or iron ring on the phone case to mount the phone. Other structures of the mounting part 410 can also be found in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0114] The support body 400 also includes a connecting arm 420, one end of which is connected to the mounting part 410 and the other end of which is connected to the housing 100.

[0115] In this embodiment, the connecting arm 420 and the housing 100 are fixedly connected by screws. The connecting arm 420 is flexible. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing 100 has a notch 102, which is opposite to the opening 101 and is located on both sides of the cover 110. The end of the connecting arm 420 can be inserted into the housing 100 through the notch 102 and can be fixedly connected to the housing base 120 by means of screws or other means.

[0116] In other embodiments, the connecting arm 420 may be a rigid structure, wherein the connecting arm 420 may be rotatably connected to the housing 100.

[0117] The control component 210 includes a first component 241 and a second component 242. The first component 241 is located inside the housing 100, and the second component 242 is connected to the first component 241.

[0118] like Figure 21 As shown, in this embodiment, the second component 242 and the first component 241 are an integral structure. The second component 242 is at least partially located outside the housing 100.

[0119] Example 2

[0120] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the control component 210.

[0121] In this embodiment, the second component 242 is detachably connected to the first component 241.

[0122] like Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the first component 241 has a socket 2411, and the second component 242 has a plug 2421. During assembly, the plug 2421 is inserted into the socket 2411. The first component 241 and the second component 242 can be magnetically connected.

[0123] In some embodiments, without installing the second component 242, the user can directly insert their finger into the housing 100 through the opening 101 and drive the first component 241 to rotate.

[0124] Example 3

[0125] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the control component 210.

[0126] The second component 242 is movably connected to the first component 241, wherein the second component 242 is movable relative to the first component 241 such that the second component 242 at least partially extends out of the housing 100 or retracts into the housing 100.

[0127] like Figure 24 As shown, the first component 241 has a sliding hole 2412, and the second component 242 is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 2412.

[0128] like Figure 25 As shown, the second component 242 includes a head 2422 and a rod 2423 coaxially arranged, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the head 2422 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the rod 2423.

[0129] When assembling the first component 241 and the second component 242, the head 2422 is aligned with the sliding hole 2412 and the second component 242 is inserted into the sliding hole 2412. Then, the cover plate 243 is installed on the first component 241.

[0130] like Figure 26 As shown, the cover plate 243 has a through hole 2431 for the rod portion 2423 to pass through. The cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 2431 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the head 2422, thereby restricting the head 2422 and preventing it from moving out of the sliding hole 2412. The cover plate 243 and the first component 241 can be detachably and fixedly connected by means of snap-fit ​​or screw connection.

[0131] Furthermore, a pull ring 244 may be provided at the end of the rod 2423 away from the head 2422. When the rod 2423 is completely hidden in the sliding hole 2412, the user can pull the rod 2423 out of the sliding hole 2412 by pulling the pull ring 244.
