Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of support technology, and in particular to a folding bracket. Background Technology

[0002] As people use electronic products more frequently and for longer periods of time, holding them in their hands for extended periods can lead to wrist pain and other problems. Stands can support electronic products, freeing up users' hands and thus gaining widespread popularity.

[0003] However, existing stands are relatively simple in form and function, usually only able to support electronic products on a table, and cannot be used in scenarios such as fitness, bathing, and makeup. Moreover, the adjustment angle of electronic products is limited, which cannot meet the needs of users in multiple scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a folding bracket to solve the problem that existing brackets have limited functionality and therefore cannot meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0005] This application provides a folding bracket, including a fixing member, a first support member, and a second support member. The fixing member is used to connect with the object to be supported. The first support member includes a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is rotatably connected to the fixing member, and the second end is rotatably connected to the second support member. The second support member is provided with a connecting element, which is used to connect with a support surface. The folding bracket includes a stowed state, in which the fixing member extends from the first end of the first support member toward the second end, and the second support member extends from the second end of the first support member toward the first end.

[0006] The folding bracket provided by this utility model has a connecting element on the second support member. This connecting element can be connected to the support surface, allowing the folding bracket to be used not only on a horizontal support surface, but also fixed on a vertical or inclined support surface. This gives the folding bracket both horizontal and wall-mounted support functions, enriching its functionality to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. Furthermore, the two ends of the first support member are rotatably connected to the fixing member and the second support member, respectively. This allows the second support member to rotate relative to the fixing member and also to rotate relative to the first support member. When both the first and second support members rotate, the position and angle of the object to be supported can change, making the adjustment of the position and angle of the object more flexible and better adaptable to different usage scenarios.

Detailed Implementation

[0009] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0010] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship between the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0011] It should also be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, the component may be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present.

[0012] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a folding bracket 100 that can be used to support electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets. The folding bracket 100 includes a fixing member 10, a first support member 12, and a second support member 14. The fixing member 10 is used to connect with the object to be supported 200. The two ends of the first support member 12 are rotatably connected to the fixing member 10 and the second support member 14, respectively, so that the first support member 12 can rotate relative to the fixing member 10 and also relative to the second support member 14. After the first support member 12 and / or the second support member 14 rotates at a certain angle, it can be used to support the object to be supported 200 connected to the fixing member 10.

[0013] It should be noted that the object to be supported 200 can be an electronic device with a protective casing, in which case the fastener 10 is connected to the protective casing; alternatively, the object to be supported 200 can also be an electronic device without a protective casing, in which case the fastener 10 is connected to the electronic device. The connection between the fastener 10 and the object to be supported 200 can be achieved by magnetic attraction, adhesive bonding, or mechanical connection.

[0014] The first support member 12 includes a first end 16 and a second end 18 opposite to each other. The first end 16 is rotatably connected to the fixing member 10. When the first support member 12 rotates relative to the fixing member 10, the second end 18 moves toward or away from the fixing member 10. The second end 18 is rotatably connected to the second support member 14. When the second support member 14 rotates relative to the first support member 12, the end of the second support member 14 away from the second end 18 moves toward or away from the first end 16. When the first support member 12 rotates relative to the fixing member 10, it can drive the second support member 14 to move together. At the same time, the second support member 14 can also rotate independently relative to the first support member 12. When the first support member 12 and the second support member 14 rotate, the position and angle of the object to be supported 200 can be changed. Therefore, the user can adjust the position and angle of the object to be supported 200 by rotating the first support member 12, and also by rotating the second support member 14, making the adjustment of the position and angle of the object to be supported 200 more flexible.

[0015] The folding bracket 100 includes a stowed state and a supported state. In the stowed state, the fixing member 10 extends from the first end 16 of the first support member 12 toward the second end 18, and the second support member 14 extends from the second end 18 of the first support member 12 toward the first end 16, thereby creating a stacked arrangement between the second support member 14 and the fixing member 10 to reduce the overall volume of the folding bracket 100 in the stowed state. In the supported state, the first support member 12 and / or the second support member 14 rotates at a certain angle relative to the fixing member 10 to support the object 200 to be supported.

[0016] The second support member 14 is provided with a connecting element 20, which is used to connect to a support surface. This support surface can be a horizontal support surface such as a desktop or tabletop, or a vertical or inclined support surface such as a wall, glass, or mirror. In an optional example, in the folded state, the connecting element 20 is located on the side of the second support member 14 facing or away from the fixing member 10. In the supported state, the folding bracket 100 can be fixed to the support surface through the connecting element 20, so that the folding bracket 100 can be placed directly on or fixed to a horizontal support surface through the connecting element 20, or fixed to a vertical or inclined support surface through the connecting element 20. This gives the folding bracket 100 both horizontal support and wall-mounted support effects, enriching the functionality of the folding bracket 100 to meet different user scenarios. Moreover, since the position and angle of the object to be supported 200 can be adjusted through the first support member 12 and the second support member 14, the adjustment is more flexible to better adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0017] In another alternative example, the connecting element 20 can also be a magnet disposed in the second support member 14, which facilitates the connection of the magnet with the support surface such as a refrigerator, iron door or iron frame, and can also fix the folding bracket 100 to the support surface.

[0018] Optionally, in the stowed state, the connecting element 20 is located on the side of the second support 14 facing the fixing member 10, so as to hide and protect the connecting element 20, reduce the obtrusiveness, and also prevent the connecting element 20 from affecting the user's grip on the electronic device.

[0019] The specific type of connecting element 20 is not limited. For example, connecting element 20 can be a suction cup disposed on the second support member 14, or an adhesive component (such as nano-adhesive) disposed on the second support member 14. In an optional example, connecting element 20 includes a suction cup that can adhere to a relatively smooth surface to fix the folding bracket 100 to the support surface. The suction cup can be reused without damage, and the connection strength will not be affected by repeated connection and separation, nor will it leave residue on the support surface. In another optional example, connecting element 20 includes an adhesive component (such as nano-adhesive) that can reliably adhere to the support surface, thereby reducing the risk of the second support member 14 detaching from the support surface due to the gravity of the folding bracket 100 and the object to be supported 200. In yet another optional example, connecting element 20 includes a suction cup and an adhesive component, with the adhesive component disposed on the surface of the suction cup away from the second support member, which can further improve the connection strength between connecting element 20 and the support surface.

[0020] There are multiple suction cups, each capable of adhering to the support surface to enhance the connection strength between the second support member 14 and the support surface, thereby improving the support stability of the folding bracket 100. The multiple suction cups can be individually fixed to the second support member 14, or some suction cups can be fixed to an intermediate element, which is then fixed to the second support member 14.

[0021] Optionally, the folding bracket 100 has multiple different support states to meet different usage scenarios, one of which is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the first support member 12 and the fixing member 10 remain stationary, while the second support member 14 rotates relative to the first support member 12 at a certain angle, so that the second support member 14 forms an acute angle with the first support member 12 and the fixing member 10. The folding bracket 100 supports the object to be supported 200 on the horizontal support surface in a triangular support manner; another support state is as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the first support member 12 rotates at a certain angle relative to the fixed member 10, and the second support member 14 rotates at a certain angle relative to the first support member 12. The connecting element 20 on the second support member 14 is connected to the horizontal support surface. The first support member 12 is inclined relative to the horizontal support surface. The folding bracket 100 supports the object to be supported 200 in a suspended manner on the horizontal support surface. Another support state is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the first support member 12 rotates relative to the fixed member 10 by a first angle, and the second support member 14 rotates relative to the first support member 12 by a second angle. The fixed member 10 and the second support member 14 are located on the same side of the first support member 12 and are spaced apart from each other. At this time, the connecting element 20 is located on the side of the second support member 14 away from the fixed member 10. The side of the fixed member 10 away from the second support member 14 is connected to the object to be supported 200. The connecting element 20 on the second support member 14 is connected to the vertical support surface or the inclined support surface. The first support member 12 is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular to the vertical support surface or the inclined support surface. The folding bracket 100 supports the object to be supported 200 in a suspended manner on the vertical support surface or the inclined support surface.

[0022] Optional, in Figure 6 In the supported state shown, the first angle is close to 90° and the second angle is close to 270°. The second support member 14 and the fixing member 10 maintain a nearly parallel relative position relationship. That is, the second support member 14 and the fixing member 10 respectively maintain a nearly perpendicular position relationship with the first support member 12, so that the connecting element 20 rotates from the direction towards the object to be supported 200 in the stored state to the direction away from the object to be supported 200. After the connecting element 20 is connected to the support surface, the first support member 12 and the support surface form a nearly perpendicular relationship.

[0023] In one embodiment, a receiving space 22 is provided through the first support member 12. In the stored state, the fixing member 10 and / or the second support member 14 are at least partially located in the receiving space 22, so that the fixing member 10 and / or the second support member 14 partially intersect with the first support member 12 in the thickness direction, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the folding bracket 100 in the stored state.

[0024] In the folded state, the connecting element 20 is located on the side of the second support 14 facing the fixing member 10. Therefore, the connecting element 20 is at least partially located within the accommodating space 22. The connecting element 20 also partially intersects with the first support 12 in the thickness direction. This avoids exposing the connecting element 20 and further reduces the overall thickness of the folding bracket 100.

[0025] In an alternative example, in the folded state, the fastener 10 is at least partially located within the accommodating space 22, and the second support 14 is located outside the accommodating space 22 and covers the first support 12 and the fastener 10. This reduces the overall thickness of the folding bracket 100 while preventing the first support 12 and the fastener 10 from being exposed, which helps to improve the integrity of the appearance of the folding bracket 100 in the folded state.

[0026] Optionally, in the stored state, the side of the fixing member 10 closest to the second support member 14 is located within the accommodating space 22, and the side away from the second support member 14 protrudes outside the accommodating space 22. The side of the fixing member 10 away from the second support member 14 is connected to the object to be supported 200. The second support member 14 is spaced a certain distance from the first support member 12 and the fixing member 10 in the thickness direction.

[0027] In the folded state, the fastener 10 is at least partially located within the accommodating space 22, and the size of the fastener 10 is smaller than the size of the accommodating space 22. Therefore, when the fastener 10 is folded within the accommodating space 22, there will be a certain distance between the outer wall of the fastener 10 and the inner wall of the accommodating space 22, thereby forming an accommodating portion 24 between the fastener 10 and the first support member 12. At least a portion of the connecting element 20 is located within the accommodating portion 24, that is, at least a portion of the connecting element 20 is located on the outer side of the fastener 10 perpendicular to the thickness direction. Compared with the method of setting the connecting element 20 between the second support member 14 and the fastener 10, it is beneficial to reduce the distance between the second support member 14 and the fastener 10, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the folding bracket 100.

[0028] The fastener 10 includes a connecting portion 26 and a fixing portion 28 located at one end of the connecting portion 26. The end of the connecting portion 26 away from the fixing portion 28 is rotatably connected to the first end 16 of the first support member 12. A receiving portion 24 is located between the connecting portion 26 and the first support member 12, and some connecting elements 20 are located between the connecting portion 26 and the first support member 12. The fixing portion 28 is used to connect with the object to be supported 200. The fixing portion 28 is annular, and a hollow area is formed on its inner side. This hollow area can also serve as a receiving portion. A number of connecting elements 20 are located in the receiving portion 24 between the connecting portion 26 and the first support member 12, and another number of connecting elements 20 are located in the hollow area of ​​the fixing portion 28. Multiple connecting elements 20 on the second support member 14 are partially located on the outer side and partially on the inner side of the fastener 10, making full use of the inner space of the folding bracket 100 to accommodate more connecting elements 20 and enhance the connection strength with the support surface.

[0029] Optionally, in the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, the connecting part 26 is located in the middle of the first support member 12, and the opposite sides of the fixing member 10 form receiving parts 24 between the first support member 12, and each receiving part 24 is provided with a connecting element 20.

[0030] Optionally, the connecting element 20 includes a suction cup that can be compressed and deformed. Therefore, even if the side of the suction cup away from the second support member 14 exceeds the side of the fixing member 10 away from the second support member 14, when the fixing member 10 is fixed on the object to be supported 200, the suction cup can still be adsorbed onto the object to be supported 200 by compression and deformation, without lifting up the second support member 14 in the stored state.

[0031] The first end 16 of the first support member 12 has an opening 30 extending from the side of the first end 16 away from the second end 18 to the accommodating space 22 and communicating with it. The first end 16 has a first rolled circle 32 on each side of the opening 30, and the two first rolled circles 32 are arranged opposite each other at intervals. The end of the connecting part 26 away from the fixing part 28 is located in the opening 30 and has a second rolled circle 34. The second rolled circle 34 is located between the two first rolled circles 32. The two first rolled circles 32 are rotatably connected to the second rolled circle 34 through the pivot 36, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the first support member 12 and the fixing member 10, and also reducing the overall thickness of the folding bracket 100 in the storage state.

[0032] The second end 18 of the first support member 12 is provided with a third rolled circle 38, which is located on the side of the second end 18 away from the first end 16. One end of the second support member 14 is provided with two fourth rolled circles 40 arranged at intervals and opposite to each other. The third rolled circle 38 is located between the two fourth rolled circles 40 and is rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 36, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the first support member 12 and the second support member 14, and also reducing the overall thickness of the folding bracket 100 in the storage state.

[0033] Optionally, the first roll 32 and the third roll 38 are integrally formed with the first support member 12, the second roll 34 is integrally formed with the fixing member 10, and the fourth roll 40 is integrally formed with the second support member 14.

[0034] The first support member 12 rotates at a maximum angle of not less than 180° from its stored position (i.e., the position of the first support member 12 in the stored state) toward the direction away from the fixing member 10. The second support member 14 rotates at a maximum angle of not less than 180° from its stored position toward the direction away from the first support member 12. The first support member 12 and the second support member 14 can rotate at a large angle so as to better adjust the position and angle of the object to be supported 200.

[0035] In one embodiment, the fixing member 10 further includes a magnetic suction member 42, which may be a magnet or an iron sheet. The fixing part 28 is wrapped around the outside of the magnetic suction member 42. The fixing member 10 forms a detachable connection with the object to be supported 200 through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic suction member 42 and the object to be supported 200. This simplifies the connection and separation of the fixing member 10 and the object to be supported 200. Simultaneously, the magnetic suction member 42 can also magnetically engage with a wireless charger, enabling precise alignment between the electronic device and the wireless charger to improve charging efficiency. Furthermore, the connecting part 26 and the fixing part 28 are integrally injection molded from microfiber material, and the fixing part 28 is wrapped around the outside of the magnetic suction member 42. This ensures that the fixing member 10 does not affect the wireless charging efficiency of the electronic device and the wireless charger while preventing the magnetic suction member 42 from being exposed.

[0036] The second support member 14 includes a main body 44, one end of which is rotatably connected to the first support member 12. The main body 44 is made of metal to ensure the overall strength of the second support member 14. The main body 44 has a clearance hole 46 through which the magnetic suction member 42 of the fixing member 10 passes, so that the magnetic suction member 42 will not be blocked by the metal part. The position of the clearance hole 46 corresponds to the position of the wireless charger and the charging coil in the electronic device. This can prevent the metal part from being located between the wireless charger and the charging coil of the electronic device when charging the electronic device with the wireless charger, which would cause eddy current effect and affect the charging effect. This allows the second support member 14 to achieve both overall strength and without affecting the charging effect.

[0037] Optionally, the first support member 12 is a metal part. Since the first support member 12 is provided with a accommodating space 22, it is ring-shaped as a whole. The fixing member 10 is located inside the first support member 12, so as to ensure the overall strength of the first support member 12 without affecting the charging efficiency.

[0038] The second support member 14 also includes a non-magnetic portion 48 installed within the clearance hole 46. The non-magnetic portion 48 can block the portion of the fixing member 10 corresponding to the clearance hole 46, namely the fixing portion 28. Moreover, the non-magnetic portion 48 is not magnetic, so even if it is located between the wireless charger and the charging coil of the electronic device, no eddy current effect will be generated, and the charging efficiency will not be affected. In an optional example, the non-magnetic portion 48 is a plastic sheet.

[0039] A stepped structure is formed within the clearance hole 46, and the non-magnetic part 48 is fixedly installed at the stepped structure. The stepped structure within the clearance hole 46 increases the contact area between the main body 44 and the non-magnetic part 48, facilitating the fixing operation. Optionally, the non-magnetic part 48 can be fixed within the clearance hole 46 by adhesive.

[0040] The fixing part 28 is annular, and multiple magnetic suction elements 42 inside it are arranged circumferentially along the fixing part 28. The main body part 44 and the non-magnetic part 48 of the second support member 14 are provided with connecting elements 20. The connecting elements 20 on the main body part 44 are located in the receiving part 24 between the connecting part 26 and the first support member 12. The connecting elements 20 on the non-magnetic part 48 are located in the hollow area of ​​the annular fixing part 28. The installation space on the second support member 14 that is offset from the fixing member 10 is fully utilized so that more connecting elements 20 can be set to enhance the connection strength.

[0041] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
