Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL AREA
[0001] The invention relates to a ventilation mounting kit for holding a device in a vehicle interior. The invention particularly relates to a ventilation mounting kit that can be assembled by the user in such a way that an electronic device capable of performing navigation functions or otherwise usable for navigation or driver assistance functions can be held in a vehicle interior in a non-destructive and reversibly detachable manner. BACKGROUND
[0002] Electronic devices, such as dedicated navigation systems, smartphones with navigation functions, or devices designed to interact with navigation systems or smartphones, are of considerable importance. They can provide instructions, warnings, location data, route information, and / or traffic data, which can be used, for example, for driver assistance functions. Such devices, for instance, enable the dynamic adaptation of route suggestions to current traffic conditions, thus contributing to increased efficiency.
[0003] Devices designed separately from a navigation device or a smartphone with navigation capabilities can be configured to communicate with the navigation device or smartphone to provide driving instructions, warnings, route information, or other output signals related to navigation functions. Such devices, which may be designed as accessories, offer additional flexibility in providing output signals related to navigation functions.
[0004] For various reasons, it may be desirable to mount electronic devices such as smartphones, dedicated navigation systems, or devices designed for communication with smartphones and / or navigation systems in a reversibly removable manner within the vehicle interior. This allows for flexible use of the devices both inside and outside the vehicle. A removable mounting facilitates the exchange or removal of the devices and prevents permanent alterations to the vehicle interior. Therefore, there is a need for secure and stable mounting devices that ensure reliable positioning while driving.
[0005] DE 10 2011 109 056 A1, DE 10 2020 127 703 A1, DE 20 2009 006 240 U1 and EP 3 572 707 B1 disclose exemplary holding devices or holding systems and illustrate the range of possible functions of such holding devices or holding systems.
[0006] It may be desirable to have a mounting bracket to position a device in the vehicle interior in such a way that the driver's view through the windshield is minimally obstructed. Ideally, the bracket should be simple and compact, and in particular, allow for transport to the user in a compact configuration. SUMMARY
[0007] The invention is based on the objective of providing a kit that can be assembled by a device user into a holder for holding a device in the vehicle interior. In particular, it is an objective of the invention to provide such a kit that can be assembled by the device user into a vent holder, wherein the vent holder is configured to mount an electronic device (for example, a smartphone configured for navigation functions, and / or another navigation device, and / or an accessory device configured to output, for example, acoustic and / or optical signals relating to vehicle navigation) to an air vent of a vehicle, wherein the kit has a compact and simple design and allows for transport in a compact configuration.
[0008] According to the invention, a ventilation mounting kit, a ventilation bracket, and a vehicle navigation system are provided, as defined in the independent claims. The dependent claims define advantageous or preferred embodiments.
[0009] According to one aspect of the invention, a vent mounting kit is provided for holding a device in a vehicle interior. The vent mounting kit comprises: a first mounting part having a first coupling structure for reversibly detachable coupling with an air vent of a vehicle; a second mounting part having a second coupling structure, wherein the second coupling structure is configured to non-destructively and reversibly detach the device from the second mounting part; wherein the first mounting part and the second mounting part have a fixing arrangement for the user to fix the second mounting part to the first mounting part; wherein the fixing arrangement has cooperating connecting elements, comprising first connecting elements provided on the first mounting part and second connecting elements provided on the second mounting part.
[0010] Several technical effects and advantages are achieved as a result. The vent mounting kit is designed so that by attaching the second mounting part to the first, the user creates a vent mount for holding the device against a vehicle's air vent. This allows the vent mounting kit to be compactly packaged for storage and / or shipping, while the user can easily assemble the vent mount using the interlocking connectors of the first and second mounting parts.
[0011] The fixing arrangement can be set up for tool-free, user-side fixing of the second mounting part to the first mounting part.
[0012] This allows the first mounting part and the second mounting part to be attached to each other in a particularly easy way by the device user.
[0013] The fixing arrangement can be configured to fix the second mounting part to the first mounting part at least by means of a positive fit.
[0014] This allows the first mounting part and the second mounting part to be securely fixed to each other.
[0015] The fixing arrangement can have a snap-fit connection.
[0016] This allows the first and second mounting parts to be securely attached to each other by the device user in a particularly simple way.
[0017] The first connecting elements may have locking lug recesses, and the second connecting elements may have locking lugs designed to engage with the locking lug recesses, or vice versa.
[0018] This allows the first and second mounting parts to be securely attached to each other by the device user in a particularly simple way.
[0019] The fixing arrangement can be configured to prevent non-destructive disassembly of the first mounting part and the second mounting part by the device user, if the first mounting part and the second mounting part are fixed to each other via the fixing arrangement.
[0020] This allows the first and second mounting parts to be securely and firmly attached to each other by the device user. The risk of the first mounting part unintentionally separating from the second is reduced.
[0021] The second coupling structure can be configured to hold the device on the second mounting part in such a way that the device can be detached from the second mounting part when a release force is applied. The fixing arrangement can be configured to hold the first mounting part and the second mounting part engaged with each other when a force directed along a longitudinal axis of the first coupling structure, the magnitude of which is equal to the magnitude of the release force, is applied.
[0022] This prevents the first and second mounting parts from unintentionally separating when the device is removed, after the device user has secured them.
[0023] The second coupling structure can be set up to hold the device magnetically to the second mounting part.
[0024] This allows the device to be attached to and removed from the mount in a particularly simple and user-friendly manner.
[0025] The second mounting part may have a main surface with a ferromagnetic structure for magnetically holding the device.
[0026] This allows the device to be attached to and removed from the mount in a particularly simple and user-friendly manner.
[0027] A longitudinal axis of the first coupling structure can extend in a direction transverse (for example, perpendicular) to the main surface if the first mounting part and the second mounting part are fixed to each other on the user side.
[0028] This allows the vent mounting kit to be securely attached to the air vent while offering a particularly user-friendly (dis)coupling option of the device with or from the mount.
[0029] The thickness of the second support part, measured perpendicular to the main surface, can be smaller than the length of the first support part, measured along the longitudinal axis.
[0030] This allows the ventilation mounting kit to be packaged in a particularly compact way for shipping and / or storage.
[0031] The thickness of the second support part, measured perpendicular to the main surface, may be less than one (or less than all) of the edge lengths of the first support part measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, or it may be equal to a minimum of the edge lengths.
[0032] This allows the ventilation mounting kit to be packaged in a particularly compact way for shipping and / or storage.
[0033] The vent mounting kit may further include shipping material that positions the first mounting part and the second mounting part such that the longitudinal axis of the first coupling structure is parallel or approximately parallel to the main surface of the second mounting part. The shipping material may include a shipping bag, a shipping carton, and / or an insert (for example, within a shipping package for the vent mounting kit).
[0034] This allows the ventilation mounting kit to be packaged in a particularly compact way for shipping and / or storage.
[0035] The first coupling structure can have at least one receptacle for receiving an air nozzle vane.
[0036] This allows the device to be easily attached to the air nozzle after the first and second mounting parts have been secured by the device user.
[0037] The first coupling structure can have several (for example, two or more than two) non-parallel recesses, each designed to accommodate an air nozzle vane.
[0038] This allows the device to be easily attached to the air nozzle after the first and second mounting parts have been secured by the device user.
[0039] The first support part can have a first support part component and a second support part component, wherein the second support part component covers the first support part component, wherein the first support part component is made of a first material having a first modulus of elasticity, and the second support part component is made of a second material having a second modulus of elasticity, wherein the second modulus of elasticity is smaller than the first modulus of elasticity.
[0040] As a result, the first mounting part has a structure which, through the combination of the first mounting part component and the second mounting part component, achieves mechanical properties that facilitate secure attachment of the mounting to the air nozzle.
[0041] The first mounting part can have a mounting part insert on which the first connecting elements (for example, the locking lug recesses) are arranged and which is at least partially covered by the second material.
[0042] This gives the first mounting part a structure that enables secure fixation with the second mounting part, whereby the combination of the first mounting part component, the second mounting part component and the mounting part insert achieves mechanical properties that facilitate secure attachment of the mount to the air nozzle.
[0043] The mounting component insert can be fixed to the first mounting component by friction and / or form locking (for example by a threaded stud or screw), which is partially or completely covered by the second mounting component.
[0044] This gives the first mounting part a structure that enables secure fixation with the second mounting part, whereby the combination of the first mounting part component, the second mounting part component and the mounting part insert achieves mechanical properties that facilitate secure attachment of the mount to the air nozzle.
[0045] According to another aspect of the invention, a ventilation bracket is provided which has the first bracket part, the second bracket part and the fixing arrangement of the ventilation bracket kit according to one aspect or embodiment, wherein the first bracket part and the second bracket part are fixed to each other via the fixing arrangement.
[0046] This provides a ventilation mount that can be easily assembled by the device user and allows for direct coupling with both an air vent (e.g., with air vent louvers) and the device to be held (e.g., a smartphone, a navigation device, or an accessory device set up for communication with a smartphone or navigation device).
[0047] According to another aspect of the invention, a system for vehicle navigation or driver assistance is provided, comprising the ventilation mount according to the invention and a navigation device or an accessory device that is set up for a communication connection with a smartphone or navigation device.
[0048] This allows the system to attach the navigation device or accessory device to an air vent using a vent mount that can be assembled by the device user from the vent mount kit, enabling a compact transport configuration.
[0049] The system can include a vehicle that has a ventilation system with an air nozzle, wherein the first coupling structure is configured for coupling with at least one air nozzle blade of the air nozzle.
[0050] This allows the system to attach the navigation device to the air vent using a vent mount that can be assembled by the device user from the vent mount kit, enabling a compact transport configuration.
[0051] Various effects and advantages are achieved through the embodiments according to the invention. These embodiments enable the user to fix the mounting components of a ventilation mounting kit to provide a ventilation mount that allows a device to be attached to an air nozzle. The ventilation mounting kit enables a compact transport configuration. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0060] Fig. Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the ventilation bracket kit 10 according to an exemplary embodiment. Fig. Figure 2 is a schematic side view of the vent mounting kit 10. Fig. Figure 3 is a schematic view of a second mounting part 40 of the ventilation mounting kit 10. Fig. Figure 4 is a schematic view of a first mounting part 20 of the ventilation mounting kit 10. Fig. Figure 5 is a schematic perspective view of a component of a first mounting part.
[0061] The ventilation mounting kit 10 comprises a first mounting part 20 and a second mounting part 40. The first mounting part 20 and the second mounting part 40 have connecting elements 51, 52 with which the first mounting part 20 and the second mounting part 40 can be fixed together by a device user.
[0062] The first mounting part 20 has a first coupling structure 30. The first coupling structure 30 is designed for reversible coupling with an air nozzle of a vehicle. The first coupling structure 30 has several (for example, two, four, or more than four) fingers 31, 32, 33. Fig. Figure 1 shows one of the four fingers obscured by perspective. Fingers 31, 32, 33 can have cross-sections that taper towards their free ends (measured perpendicular to a longitudinal axis 37).
[0063] Several receptacles 35, 36 are defined between the fingers. Each of these receptacles 35, 36 is configured to receive an air nozzle vane. The receptacles 35, 36 can define passages for the air nozzle vanes to pass through the coupling structure 30, wherein the passages have at least two non-parallel (e.g., two perpendicular) openings.
[0064] The first mounting part 20 can have several components. In particular, the first mounting part can be a first mounting part component 21 ( Fig. 5) have a second mounting component 22 on which a second mounting component 22 is applied. The second mounting component 22 can be made of a material that is more elastic than a material of the first mounting component 21. The second mounting component 22 can be provided by injection molding or other forming techniques such that it partially or completely covers the first mounting component 21.
[0065] The first mounting part 20 can have a mounting insert 23. The mounting insert 23 can be frictionally and / or positively engaged with the first mounting component 21. The mounting insert 23 defines a recess 24 in which a central projection 25 is provided. The central projection 25 can perform a guiding function when fixing the first mounting part 20 and the second mounting part 40. The mounting insert 23 can be made of a material that is less elastic than a material of the second mounting component 22. The second mounting component 22 can be provided by injection molding or other forming techniques such that it partially covers the mounting insert 23. The mounting insert 23 can have a higher stiffness than the second mounting component 22 that partially covers it.
[0066] The second mounting part 40 is designed to hold the device in a non-destructive and reversible manner. The second mounting part 40 may have a body 41 with a main surface 42 on which a ferromagnetic material 49 is provided for magnetically holding the device. The ferromagnetic material 49 may be designed to provide a magnetic force for magnetically holding the device by interacting with a permanent magnet of the device.
[0067] A projection 44 can extend from a second main surface 43, which is parallel to the first main surface 42. The projection 44 can be an integral part of the body 41 (i.e., formed integrally with the first main surface 42 and the second main surface 43) or it can be fixed to the body 41. The projection 44 can be configured to receive the central projection 24 of the mounting insert 23.
[0068] The first mounting element 40 can have a circumferential edge 45 that extends at least partially around the ferromagnetic material 49. The ferromagnetic material 49 can be ring-shaped. The ferromagnetic material 49 can extend continuously around an edge of the first main surface 42.
[0069] The ventilation bracket kit features interlocking connecting elements provided on the first bracket part 20 and the second bracket part 40. These connecting elements can be configured to fix the second bracket part 40 to the first bracket part 20 by positive locking and / or friction locking. The connecting elements can be snap-fit connectors.
[0070] The projection 44 can have locking lugs 51, 51-2, which are designed for engagement with corresponding locking lug recesses 52 in the mounting insert 23. Even if in Fig. 1 If only one of the locking lug recesses 52 is visible from a perspective, the mounting part insert 23 can have two or four locking lug recesses 52.
[0071] The locking lugs 51, 51-2 and the corresponding locking lug recesses 52 can be configured to hold the second mounting part 40 on the first mounting part 20 in such a way that a release force required to detach the device from the second mounting part 40 does not cause the second mounting part 40 to separate from the first mounting part 20. The locking lugs 51, 51-2 and the corresponding locking lug recesses 52 can also be configured to hold the second mounting part 40 on the first mounting part 20 in such a way that a further release force required by an air nozzle to release the mount formed by the mounting parts 20, 40 does not cause the second mounting part 40 to separate from the first mounting part 20.
[0072] With reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. Advantageous geometric features of the mounting parts 20, 40 are further explained. The coupling structure 30 extends along a longitudinal axis 37. The multiple fingers 31, 32, 33 can be arranged at equal angular intervals around the longitudinal axis 37. The longitudinal axis 37 can pass centrally through the central projection 25.
[0073] In the fixed state of the mounting parts 20, 40, the longitudinal axis 37 is directed transversely (advantageously perpendicularly) to a plane 48 along which the first principal surface 42 and the second principal surface 43 extend. A surface normal 47 of the first principal surface 42 and the second principal surface 43 can, in the fixed state of the mounting parts 20, 40, coincide with the longitudinal axis 37 or extend parallel to the longitudinal axis 37.
[0074] The first mounting part 20 has a length 65 measured along the longitudinal axis 37. The first mounting part 20 has edge lengths 66, 67 at the end where the mounting part insert 23 is provided, the edge lengths 66, 67 being measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 37.
[0075] The second support element 40 has a thickness 61, which is measured parallel to the surface normal 47. The thickness 61 takes into account the projection 44 and is measured between the free end of the projection 44 and the free end of the body 41 opposite it.
[0076] The second support part 40 has edge lengths 62, 63, which are measured in orthogonal directions perpendicular to the surface normal 47.
[0077] The vent mounting kit 10 can be configured such that the edge lengths 62, 63 of the second mounting part 40 are greater than the edge length 66 of the first mounting part 20. The vent mounting kit 10 can also be configured such that the edge lengths 62, 63 of the second mounting part 40 are greater than the length 65 of the first mounting part 20.
[0078] The ventilation mounting kit 10 is designed such that the thickness 61 of the second mounting part 40 is equal to or less than the smaller of the edge lengths 66, 67 of the first mounting part 20. This allows the ventilation mounting kit 10 to have a transport configuration with a low thickness or height ( Fig. 6).
[0079] Fig. Figure 5 schematically shows the first mounting component 21 of the first mounting part 20. The first mounting component 21 is advantageously made of a material that is stiffer and / or has a lower modulus of elasticity than the material of the second mounting component 22 and the material of the mounting insert 23. This allows the first mounting component 21 to provide the desired structural stiffness and stability.
[0080] The first mounting component 21 has several fingers 24 extending from a main surface 25. The main surface 25 has an opening through which the mounting insert 23 can be fastened to the first mounting component 21 by means of a fastener (for example, a threaded pin 26 or a screw 26).
[0081] The design of the vent bracket kit 10 allows the bracket parts 20, 40 to be arranged during storage and / or shipping in such a way as to result in a low-height (or low-thickness) configuration.
[0082] Fig. Figure 6 schematically shows a shipping configuration in which the vent bracket kit 10 includes shipping material 70. The shipping material 70 can include a shipping bag, a shipping carton, and / or an insert for positioning the first mounting part 20 and the second mounting part 40. In the shipping configuration, the longitudinal axis 37 of the first mounting part 20 is oriented transversely (for example, substantially perpendicularly) to the surface normal 47 of the main surface 42 of the second mounting part 40. The longitudinal axis 37 of the first mounting part 20 is oriented substantially parallel to the plane 48 along which the main surface 42 and the second main surface 43 of the second mounting part 40 extend. The second mounting part 40 is offset relative to the first mounting part 20 in a direction parallel to the plane 48.
[0083] This type of shipping configuration allows the vent bracket kit 10 to have a height (or thickness) of 71, which can be, for example, 25 mm or less, or 20 mm or less. This facilitates the transport of the vent bracket kit 10.
[0084] Fig. Figure 6 is a schematic perspective view of a ventilation bracket 81, which results from the user fixing the first bracket part 20 and the second bracket part 40 to each other. Fig. 8 and Fig.Figure 9 shows side views of a system 80 comprising the vent mount 81 and a device 82. The device 82 can be a navigation device, a smartphone, or another electronic device (for example, an accessory device configured to output acoustic and / or visual signals and configured for communication with the navigation device or smartphone). The device 82 can be an accessory device that includes an optical output device other than a display.
[0085] The ventilation bracket 81 can be brought into direct engagement with air nozzle blades 91-95 of an air nozzle 90 of a vehicle. The air nozzle 90 has an outer rim 96 that circumferentially surrounds an air outlet and several air nozzle blades 91-95. At least one of the air nozzle blades 91 (and advantageously different air nozzle blades) can be accommodated in a receptacle of the first coupling structure 30.
[0086] The ventilation bracket 80 is designed to hold the device 82 non-destructively and reversibly detachable (e.g., magnetically) on the second bracket part 40. The fixing arrangement 51, 51-2, 52 ensures that a force 83 required to release the device does not cause the second bracket part 40 to detach from the first bracket part 20.
[0087] While exemplary embodiments have been described with reference to the figures, further embodiments may include modifications.
[0088] While examples have been described where the vent mount is designed to hold a navigation device or a smartphone attached to an air vent, the vent mount can also be designed to hold other electronic devices. For example, the vent mount can be designed to hold a tablet or an electronic reading device (e-reader).
[0089] While exemplary embodiments have been described in which the second mounting part is designed to magnetically hold the device, the second mounting part can also be designed to hold the device by means of a further positive fit and / or frictional fit to the second mounting part.
[0090] While embodiments have been described in which the second mounting part has a ferromagnetic material and the device to be held has a permanent magnet (which may have another ferromagnetic material), the ferromagnetic material of the second mounting part can be a permanent magnet.
[0091] While exemplary embodiments have been described in which the first and second mounting parts can be fixed to one another via a snap-fit connection, the fixing arrangement can have alternative configurations. The arrangement of locking lugs and locking lug recesses can be reversed compared to the arrangement shown in the figures. Alternatively or additionally, other male and female connector shapes can be provided. For example, the first and second mounting parts can also be connected to each other via a threaded engagement. For this purpose, for example, one of the mounting parts can have an internal thread and the other a corresponding external thread.
[0092] Examples of embodiments are particularly suitable for attaching electronic devices to air nozzles of passenger cars or trucks, but are not limited to this. QUOTES INCLUDED IN THE DESCRIPTION
