Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation seat equipment technology, and in particular to an aviation seat flip-up electronic equipment bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of air travel and the rapid development of air-to-ground connectivity technology, it has become commonplace for passengers to use personal electronic devices for work, entertainment, and communication during flights. Existing aircraft seats are designed primarily to meet passenger comfort and safety needs, without considering the modern passenger's demand for convenient use of personal electronic devices. This results in numerous inconveniences and comfort issues for passengers using electronic devices on board.

[0003] Currently, passengers' use of personal electronic devices on airplanes is mainly limited to two methods: holding the device in their hands to view or operate it, and placing the device on the tray table behind the seat. While holding the device is simple and direct, it can easily lead to hand fatigue, muscle soreness, and even impaired blood circulation during long flights. Especially during takeoff, landing, or turbulence, the stability and safety of handheld devices are difficult to guarantee. If the device falls under the seat due to turbulence, passengers may find it difficult to retrieve it due to the seatbelt. Placing electronic devices on the tray table, on the other hand, forces passengers to look down at the screen for extended periods due to the low and usually horizontal position of the tray table, easily causing neck and shoulder discomfort and increasing the burden on the cervical spine, which is not ergonomically sound. Furthermore, when the seatbacks of passengers in front are reclined, the viewing angle of those behind is further limited, severely impacting both visual experience and ease of operation.

[0004] Although some aircraft seats are equipped with seatback screens for passenger use, their functions are fixed and their content is limited, which cannot meet passengers' personalized needs for personal devices. Some external or clip-on portable device holders have also appeared on the market, but these products often have problems such as inconvenient installation, poor stability, and incompatibility with the structure of aircraft seats. They may even affect the normal function of the seats or aviation safety, so they have not been widely used in the aviation field. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] In the description of this utility model, it is necessary to understand that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "top", and "bottom" are all based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose is only to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the indicated component 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 utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an aircraft seat flip-up electronic device bracket, including: a bracket body 1 and a seat back shell 2; The bracket body 1 is located in the seat back shell 2. A display screen 5 is provided above the bracket body 1. The display screen 5 is fixedly connected to the seat back shell 2. The bracket body 1 is rotatably connected to the seat back shell 2. The bracket body 1 can achieve two states through the rotatable connection: open state and retracted state. In the open state, the bracket body 1 extends out of the seat back shell 2 to provide a stable electronic device support platform for passengers. In the retracted state, the bracket body 1 is completely retracted into the seat back shell 2 to avoid occupying the passenger's seating space and prevent scratches. The bracket body 1 includes two support arms 1-1 and a supporting crossbar 1-2. The two support arms 1-1 include a left support arm and a right support arm. The support arm 1-1 has an L-shaped structure. The support arm 1-1 has a weight reduction groove, which not only reduces the overall weight but also improves the material utilization efficiency, meeting the lightweight requirements of aviation seats. The left support arm is located on the left side of the supporting crossbar 1-2, and the right support arm is located on the right side of the supporting crossbar 1-2. The two support arms 1-1 and the supporting crossbar 1-2 are integrated to form the support frame of the bracket. The supporting crossbar 1-2 has a hollow rectangular structure and an electronic device slot 6 is provided on it. The electronic device slot 6 is a rectangular groove located in the center of the supporting crossbar 1-2. The electronic device slot 6 is used to securely position personal electronic devices, which can effectively prevent the devices from slipping off the support during flight turbulence and improve safety. The center of the electronic device slot 6 is provided with a charging hole 7, which is used to facilitate the connection of the charging cable to the electronic device placed in the electronic device slot 6.

[0020] The upper end of the left support arm is provided with a limiting connector, and the upper end of the right support arm is provided with a damping connector. The limiting connector is a hollow cylindrical structure and includes: a limiting connector shell, a lower limiting baffle 1-3, an upper limiting baffle 1-4, and a center slot 1-5. The main function of the limiting connector is to achieve precise angle control and stable positioning of the support body 1. The central slot 1-5 is located at the center of the limiting connector. As the rotation core, the central slot 1-5 engages with the left support arm connector of the chair back shell 2 via the pin 2-3, forming a smooth rotation axis. This allows the support body 1 to switch between open and retracted states around this axis, ensuring easy and reliable operation. The lower limiting baffle 1-3 and the upper limiting baffle 1-4 are respectively positioned opposite each other on the outer wall of the central slot 1-5. Several reinforcing ribs are circumferentially arranged between the limiting connector shell and the central slot 1-5, enhancing overall rigidity, dispersing stress during load-bearing, and preventing deformation under long-term use. The lower limiting baffle 1-3 and... The upper limit baffle 1-4 and the center slot 1-5 are higher than the reinforcing rib. The lower limit baffle 1-3 is at the same height as the upper limit baffle 1-4 and the center slot to prevent the rotation from being interfered with by the reinforcing rib. The lower limit baffle 1-3 and the upper limit baffle 1-4 work in conjunction with the side block 2-1 of the chair back shell 2 to achieve bidirectional limiting. When the bracket is open, the upper limit baffle 1-4 contacts the side block 2-1 to ensure that the maximum opening angle is 90 degrees, thereby supporting the electronic device at the optimal viewing height. When the bracket is retracted, the lower limit baffle 1-3 contacts the side block 2-1 to prevent the bracket from retracting too much and avoid collision with the chair back shell. The damping connector is a hollow cylindrical structure, comprising a damping shaft 3, a connector 4, and a damping connector housing. The damping connector housing is integral with the right support arm. The damping shaft 3 is inserted into the damping connector housing. Through its built-in damping mechanism, resistance is generated when the support is opened, effectively counteracting the weight of the electronic equipment and the support itself, preventing the support from accidentally rotating downwards under load, and ensuring that the electronic equipment is always kept at the set angle to improve safety. The connector 4 is fitted on the outer right side of the damping shaft 3. The connector 4 is fastened to the damping shaft 3 and the chair back housing 2 respectively by screws.

[0021] The chair back shell 2 is provided with a left support arm connector and a right support arm connector respectively. The left support arm connector is rotatably connected to the limiting connector. The left support arm connector includes: a pin 2-3 and a side block 2-1. The pin 2-3 is inserted into the center slot 1-5 to achieve rotatable connection. The side block 2-1 is used to cooperate with the lower limiting baffle 1-3 and the upper limiting baffle 1-4 to limit the rotation angle of the support body 1. It should be noted that in actual operation, the side stop 2-1 in the left support arm connector can be directly removed, and the damping connector can be used alone to control the support body 1. The damping shaft 3 is an adjustable component, and the limit control can be achieved by adjusting the damping magnitude of the damping shaft 3.

[0022] The backrest shell 2 is also provided with a lower stop 2-2, which is located at the lower end of the support body 1. The lower stop 2-2 is used to contact the lower end of the support crossbar 1-2 as an auxiliary limit, providing additional support when the chair is folded up, and further reducing vibration and noise.

[0023] Both the bracket body 1 and the chair back shell 2 are made of plastic, achieving a significant reduction in the overall weight of the structure while ensuring structural strength.
