Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present application relates to the field of mechatronics technology, and in particular to a slot structure, a support, a support device, a locking mechanism, and a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Mobile terminal devices bring great convenience to consumers' daily lives, and the application fields of mobile terminal devices are becoming increasingly widespread. Consumers sometimes use mobile terminal devices by holding them in their hands. When it is inconvenient to hold the mobile terminal device in their hands, the mobile terminal device needs to be fixed to another fixed device. Specifically, an adapter bracket can be placed on the fixed device, and then the mobile terminal device can be fixed to the adapter bracket.

[0003] The adapter bracket here is not only required to secure the mobile terminal device to the fixed device, but also to facilitate attachment and detachment of the mobile terminal device. Currently, after the mobile terminal device is detached from the adapter bracket, the adapter bracket is exposed, which can easily interfere with other foreign objects and pose a safety risk. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides a slot structure, a support, a support device, a locking mechanism, and a vehicle. When the slot structure is in an idle state, the opening can be sealed, preventing foreign objects from entering the slot structure and improving safety.

[0005] According to a first aspect, the present application provides a slot structure, including a slot, a baffle, and a lock assembly. The slot has an opening slot, which is used to insert a structure such as a support. When the slot is fixed to another structure, the opening of the opening slot faces outward, away from the other structure. The baffle is rotatably attached to the opening of the opening slot, and the baffle can rotate relative to the slot to expose or seal the opening. A lock blocker is further disposed at the opening of the slot, and the lock assembly is movably attached within the opening slot and contacts the baffle. The lock assembly has a locking position where the lock assembly locks and cooperates with the lock blocker, and an unlocking position where the lock assembly disengages from the lock blocker. A first magnetic attraction portion is disposed on the lock assembly. When the first magnetic attraction portion receives a magnetic attraction force toward the baffle, facing away from the lock assembly, the lock assembly can switch from the locked position to the unlocked position. When the lock assembly is locked to and engaged with the lock blocker, the lock assembly is restricted by the lock blocker, thereby preventing the baffle from rotating inwardly into the opening slot. The baffle can block the opening of the opening slot, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering the opening slot. When a structure such as a support is inserted into the opening slot, a magnetic attraction force can be applied to the first magnetic attraction portion, causing the lock assembly to switch from the locked position to the unlocked position and releasing the restriction of the baffle. In this case, the baffle can rotate inwardly relative to the opening slot, exposing the opening slot, allowing a structure such as a support to be inserted into the opening slot.In this structure, the lock assembly engages with the first magnetic attraction portion, thereby locking and sealing the slot structure in an idle state and preventing foreign objects from entering the opening slot. The placement of the first magnetic attraction portion increases the difficulty of unlocking the lock assembly. In other words, only structures that can attract the first magnetic attraction portion can unlock the lock assembly, thereby increasing the security of the slot structure.

[0006] In one possible embodiment, the lock assembly includes a swing member, a link mechanism member, and a sliding member. The swing member is rotatably connected to the slot, and the sliding member slidably engages with the lock blocker and contacts the baffle. One end of the link mechanism member is rotatably connected to the swing member, and the other end of the link mechanism member rotatably engages with the sliding member. The first magnetic attraction portion is disposed on the swing member. The swing member, the link mechanism member, and the sliding member form a transmission connection structure, forming a crank-slider mechanism that can realize locking and unlocking between the lock assembly and the lock blocker.

[0007] Since the rotation center of the swinging member is parallel to the rotation center of the baffle, the rotation direction of the swinging member coincides with the rotation direction of the baffle, thereby improving synchronization between the lock assembly and the baffle.

[0008] In some cases, the first magnetic attraction portion includes a magnetic material or iron. When the first magnetic attraction portion includes a magnetic material, the external structure configured to magnetically attract the first magnetic attraction portion can include a magnetic material or iron. When the first magnetic attraction portion includes iron, the external structure configured to magnetically attract the first magnetic attraction portion can include a magnetic material.

[0009] In a possible embodiment, the slot structure further includes a resilient reset member connected between the lock assembly and the baffle, and the resilient reset member is in a compressed force storage state when the first magnetic attraction portion receives a magnetic attraction force toward the baffle side facing away from the lock assembly. When the first magnetic attraction portion no longer receives the magnetic attraction force, the resilient reset member can drive the lock assembly to reset. In other words, the lock assembly switches from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0010] When the slot structure is used to insert or secure an electronic device, a charging port can be disposed in the opening slot, and the slot has a connection port electrically connected to the charging port, and the connection port is configured to connect to an external power source such as a vehicle battery. For ease of use, the charging port in this specification may be a contact charging port.

[0011] A fixing portion for fixing the structure inserted into the opening slot is further disposed in the opening slot, and the fixing portion is used to insert and clamp the structure into the opening slot.

[0012] In a possible embodiment, the extension direction of the opening slot is inclined at an included angle with respect to a plane in which the opening is located. Along a direction perpendicular to the plane in which the opening is located, the slot bottom of the opening slot is lower than the opening of the opening slot. When a structure such as a support is inserted into the opening of the slot structure, the shape of the opening slot helps to prevent the structure such as a support from falling out of the opening slot.

[0013] In a possible embodiment, a limit stop is further disposed within the slot, the limit stop being disposed on a side of the baffle facing away from the lock assembly, the limit stop being positioned within a path of rotation of the baffle relative to the slot, the limit stop preventing the baffle from rotating when the baffle rotates relative to the slot toward the outside of the opening slot.

[0014] According to a second aspect, the present application provides a support, the support including a panel and a support rod rotatably connected to the panel. The panel can be used to secure an electronic device, and a second magnetic attraction portion is disposed at an end of the support rod away from the panel. During use, the support rod can be inserted into a structure such as a slot structure, thereby securing the support rod. The support rod is secured by being attracted to another structure via the second magnetic attraction portion. When the support rod engages with the slot structure provided in the first aspect, the support rod is inserted into and engages with an opening slot of the slot structure, and the second magnetic attraction portion magnetically attracts the first magnetic attraction portion, thereby controlling unlocking of the lock assembly.

[0015] A charging port is disposed on the panel, and a connection cable configured to connect the charging port to an external power source is disposed on the support rod to facilitate charging of an electronic device fixed to the panel. The connection cable may be disposed inside the support rod, and the connection cable may specifically be a flat cable.

[0016] In a possible embodiment, the support may be fixed to another structure in a clamping manner. A connecting member and a locking and unlocking member fixed to the connecting member are disposed on the support rod, and the locking and unlocking members can move synchronously with the connecting member. The connecting member is movably disposed within the support rod and connected to the support rod via an elastic member. The connecting member has a first working position where the locking and unlocking members protrude from the support rod and a second working position where the locking members are hidden within the support rod. The elastic member tends to maintain the connecting member in the first working position.

[0017] In a possible embodiment, a crushing upon impact portion is disposed on the support rod, which crushes, deforms, or breaks when an impact force applied to the support rod along the extension direction of the support rod reaches a predetermined threshold, the predetermined threshold being a force that can damage the material of the support rod.

[0018] According to a third aspect, the present application further provides a support device. The support device may include the slot structure provided in the first aspect and the support provided in the second aspect. A support rod of the support is configured to be inserted into and engage with an opening slot of the slot structure, and a second magnetic attraction portion on the support rod is configured to magnetically attract the first magnetic attraction portion on the slot structure.

[0019] According to a fourth aspect, the present application further provides a vehicle including a vehicle body, wherein the slot structure provided in the first aspect or the support device provided in the third aspect is disposed in the vehicle body.

[0020] According to a fifth aspect, the present application further provides a lock mechanism, a lock body, and a lock cylinder. A lock blocker is disposed in the lock body, and the lock cylinder is movably attached to the lock body. The lock cylinder has a locked position in which the lock cylinder locks and engages with the lock blocker, and an unlocked position in which the lock cylinder disengages from the lock blocker. A first magnetic attraction portion is further disposed in the lock cylinder. When the first magnetic attraction portion is magnetically attracted, the lock cylinder switches from the locked position to the unlocked position. Unlocking of the lock mechanism is controlled via the first magnetic attraction portion, and the lock cylinder can be unlocked only when the first magnetic attraction portion is magnetically attracted, thereby providing a relatively high level of security.

[0021] In some cases, the lock cylinder may include a swinging member, a linkage member, and a sliding member. The swinging member is rotatably connected to the lock body, and the sliding member is slidably engaged with the lock blocker. One end of the linkage member is rotatably connected to the swinging member, and the other end of the linkage member is slidably engaged with the sliding member. A first magnetic attraction portion is disposed on the swinging member. When the first magnetic attraction portion is magnetically attracted, the swinging member rotates relative to the lock body, driving the sliding member via the linkage member to slide out of the lock blocker and unlock the lock cylinder.

[0022] The lock mechanism further includes a resilient reset member for resetting the lock cylinder. The resilient reset member is connected between the lock cylinder and the lock body. When the first magnetic attraction portion is no longer magnetically attracted, the resilient reset member is compressed. When the first magnetic attraction portion is no longer magnetically attracted, the resilient reset member releases its resilient potential energy, driving the swing member to reset, so that the sliding member re-engages with the lock blocker. In this way, the lock cylinder switches from the unlocked position to the locked position. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0024] In the prior art, a mobile terminal device is fixed to another fixed device via an adapter bracket, allowing consumers to easily use the mobile terminal device and freeing their hands to rest or perform other tasks. The adapter bracket must have a function that facilitates attachment and detachment of the mobile terminal device. Furthermore, when the mobile terminal device is detached from the adapter bracket, the structure of the adapter bracket that is configured to engage with the mobile terminal device is exposed, which may be subject to interference or damage by other foreign objects, posing a safety risk.

[0025] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide a slot structure, a support, a support device, a locking mechanism, and a vehicle. The slot structure and the support can engage with each other to secure a mobile terminal device to a fixed device, facilitating use by consumers. When the slot structure is in an idle state, foreign objects are prevented from entering the slot structure, thereby improving safety.

[0026] The terms used in the following embodiments are merely intended to describe particular embodiments, but are not intended to limit the present application. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular terms "one," "a," "the," "foregoing," "this," and "the one" are also intended to include forms such as "one or more," unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0027] References herein to "an embodiment," "some embodiments," etc., mean that one or more embodiments of the present application include the particular feature, structure, or characteristic described with reference to the embodiment. Thus, the appearance of phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in some other embodiments," "in other embodiments," etc. in different places in this specification are not necessarily meant to refer to the same embodiment. Instead, these phrases mean "one or more, but not all, embodiments," unless specifically emphasized otherwise. The words "include," "have," "including," "including, but not limited to," and derivatives thereof all mean "including, but not limited to," unless specifically emphasized otherwise.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 1 , one embodiment of the present invention provides a locking mechanism 100. The locking mechanism 100 can be used in scenarios for locking and unlocking other structures. For example, a cabinet door is locked and prevented from being opened when it is not necessary to open it. The locking mechanism 100 includes a lock body 101 and a lock cylinder 102. The lock body 101 can be fixed to a stationary device, and the stationary device has a movable device. A cabinet is used as an example. The cabinet body is the stationary device, and the cabinet door is the movable device. The lock body 101 can be fixed to the cabinet body, and the lock cylinder 102 is movably attached to the lock body 101, so that the lock cylinder 102 can move relative to the lock body 101. For example, the lock cylinder 102 can slide or swing relative to the lock body 101. A locking blocker 1011 is disposed in the lock body 101. When the lock cylinder 102 moves relative to the lock body 101, the lock cylinder 102 has a locked position where the lock cylinder 102 is locked to and engaged with the lock blocker 1011, and an unlocked position where the lock cylinder 102 is disengaged from the lock blocker 1011. The structure of the lock blocker 1101 is not limited, and the function of the lock blocker 1101 can be to lock to and engage with the lock cylinder 102 to restrict movement of the lock cylinder 102 relative to the lock body 101 in a specified direction, i.e., to restrict movement of the lock cylinder 102 in a specified direction. During state switching of the lock cylinder 102 between the locked position and the unlocked position, the lock cylinder 102 can move relative to the lock blocker 1101. For example, when the lock cylinder 102 is locked to and engaged with the lock blocker 1101, the lock cylinder 102 cannot slide relative to the lock blocker 1101 along a first direction.Here, locking and engaging the lock cylinder 102 with the lock blocker 1101 means that movement of the lock cylinder 102 relative to the lock blocker along a first direction is restricted. The locking and unlocking operation of the lock cylinder 102 may be movement of the lock cylinder 102 relative to the lock blocker along a second direction, which is different from the first direction.

[0029] For example, the lock cylinder 102 includes a swing member 1021, a link mechanism member 1022, and a sliding member 1023. The swing member 1021 can be rotatably connected to the lock body 101 around a first rotation center Q1. In other words, the swing member 1021 can rotate around the first rotation center Q1. For example, the sliding member 1023 slidably engages with the lock blocker 111. One end of the link mechanism member 1022 is rotatably connected to the swing member 1021, and the center of rotation between the link mechanism member 1022 and the swing member 1021 is a first hinge center P1. The other end of the link mechanism member 1022 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 1023, and the center of rotation between the link mechanism member 1022 and the sliding member 1023 is a second hinge center P2. The swinging member 1021, the link mechanism member 1022, and the sliding member 1023 can form a crank-slider mechanism. When the swinging member 1021 rotates relative to the lock body 101, the sliding member 1023 can be driven to slide along a specified direction. Here, for example, the lock blocker 1011 is slot-shaped, and the sliding direction of the sliding member 1023 is the extension direction of the lock blocker 1011. When the sliding member 1023 slides into the lock blocker 1011, the sliding member 1023 can lock and engage with the lock blocker 1011, thereby preventing the lock cylinder 102 from rotating around the first rotation center Q relative to the lock body 101. The lock cylinder 102 is locked and restricted relative to the lock body 101. In other words, the lock blocker 1011 can restrict the sliding member 1023 in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding member 1023.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 2a to 2c. The locking and unlocking operation process of the mechanism 100 in this embodiment of the present application will be described below. For ease of understanding, the lock body 101 is not shown here. As shown in Figure 2a, the sliding member 1023 of the lock cylinder 102 fits into the lock blocker 1011 of the lock body 101, and the lock blocker 1011 restricts and locks the sliding member 1023 in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction. As shown in Figure 2b, when the swing member 1021 is driven to rotate counterclockwise around the first rotation center Q1, the link mechanism member 1022 rotates counterclockwise around the first hinge center P1 relative to the swing member 1021, and the sliding member 1023 rotates counterclockwise around the second hinge center P2 relative to the link mechanism member 1022. Because the sliding member 1023 is slidably engaged with the lock blocker 1011 along a designated direction, the sliding member 1023 can move along a designated direction. In FIG. 2a, the designated direction is the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 2c, the sliding member 1023 moves upward and separates from the lock blocker 1011. When the sliding member 1023 disengages from the lock blocker 1011, the lock cylinder 102 is in the unlocked position.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3a, for example, an elastic reset member 103 is further connected between the swing member 1021 and the lock body 101, and the elastic reset member 103 has elastic potential energy that drives the swing member 1021 to reset. When the lock cylinder 102 is in the state shown in FIG. 1, that is, when the lock cylinder 102 is in the locked position, the elastic reset member 103 is in a relaxed state. When the swing member 1021 swings around the first rotation center Q1, the elastic reset member 103 is compressed or expanded, generating elastic potential energy. See FIGS. 2a to 2c. When the lock cylinder 102 switches from the locked position to the unlocked position, the elastic reset member 103 is compressed, generating elastic potential energy. 2c, in the absence of an external force maintaining the position of the lock cylinder 102, the elastic reset member 103 can release its elastic potential energy to drive the sliding member 1023 to slide into the lock blocker 1011, thereby switching the lock cylinder 102 from the unlocked position to the locked position. For example, the elastic reset member 103 is a spring. As shown in FIG. 3b, the elastic reset member 103 may alternatively be disposed between the link mechanism member 1022 and the lock body 101.

[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3c, the elastic reset member 103 is a torsion spring and is arranged around a first center of rotation Q1. Of course, the elastic reset member 103 may alternatively be other structures, such as a snap spring or an elastic rubber strip, and the details will not be described again here.

[0033] The method for controlling the operation of the lock cylinder 102 may be magnetic control. As shown in FIG. 4a, a first magnetic attraction portion C1 is disposed on the swinging member 1021 of the lock cylinder 102. When there is another magnetic attraction portion that magnetically attracts the first magnetic attraction portion C1, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 can drive the swinging member 1021 to rotate counterclockwise and drive the sliding member 1023 to slide out of the lock blocker 1011, thereby unlocking the lock cylinder 102. Here, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 may include a magnetic material or iron. Alternatively, the entire structure of the swinging member 1021 may include a magnetic material or iron. In other words, the swinging member 1021 as a whole is used as the first magnetic attraction portion C1. By disposing the first magnetic attraction portion C1, the lock cylinder 102 is driven to unlock only when the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is magnetically attracted, thus making the locking and unlocking of the structure 10 more secure.

[0034] The first magnetic attraction portion C1 may be disposed on the swinging member 1021 as shown in FIG. 4a, or on the link mechanism member 1022 as shown in FIG. 4b. When the swinging member 1021 is rotatably connected to the link mechanism member 1022 via a hinge portion such as a pin shaft, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 may instead be disposed on the hinge portion between the swinging member 1021 and the link mechanism member 1022, i.e., at the position of the first hinge center P1, as shown in FIG. 4c. From a mechanical viewpoint, it should be understood that the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is disposed at a position on the swinging member 1021 that is close to the first hinge center P1, thereby achieving a greater effect. In other words, a smaller magnetic attraction force can achieve a greater displacement effect.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application further provides a slot structure 1. As shown in FIG. 5a, the slot structure 1 has an opening slot A, which has an opening a1, through which another structure can be inserted. When the slot structure 1 is fixed to a fixed device, such as a vehicle seat, the opening a1 of the opening slot A should face outward, away from the seat. The opening a1 is located on a plane, and it is specified that a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z, which are perpendicular to each other, are defined using the plane on which the opening a1 is located as a reference. The plane formed by the first direction X and the third direction Z is parallel to the plane on which the opening a1 is located. For ease of understanding of this solution, the first direction X may be horizontal, and the third direction Z may be vertical. Of course, it should be understood that the opening a1 does not necessarily have to be on a plane, and the plane on which the opening a1 is located may be considered to be generally flat in this specification.

[0036] See also the examples shown in FIGS. 5a and 5b. The slot structure 1 provided in this embodiment of the present application specifically includes a slot 11, which can be fixed to a fixed device. For example, the slot 11 can be fixed to the backrest of a front seat in a vehicle or the head of a bed. The slot 11 has an opening slot A. Corresponding to the opening a1, the opening slot A further has a slot bottom a2 located on the opposite side of the opening a1 along its extension direction. The extension direction of the opening slot A can be considered as the direction in which the slot bottom a2 points toward the opening a1, or the direction in which the opening a1 points toward the slot bottom a2. The extension direction of the opening slot A does not necessarily have to be perpendicular to the plane in which the opening a1 is located. For example, the opening a1 may be on a plane, and the slot bottom a2 may also be on a plane. The plane on which the slot bottom a2 is located may be parallel to the plane on which the opening a1 is located, or the plane on which the slot bottom a2 is located may be inclined at an included angle relative to the plane on which the opening a1 is located. This is not limited to this embodiment of the present application. The baffle 12 is rotatably attached to the opening a1 of the opening slot A. The shape of the baffle 12 fits the opening a1 of the opening slot A. When the baffle 12 engages with the opening a1 of the opening slot A, the baffle 12 essentially covers the opening a1. This corresponds to the baffle 12 sealing the opening a1, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the opening slot A through the opening a1. Figure 5b shows the state in which the baffle 12 covers the opening a1. In other words, the baffle 12 is in a closed state. Because the opening slot A is hidden within the slot 11, the opening slot A is shown in dashed lines in Figure 2a.

[0037] 5a and 5b, the baffle 12 can rotate around a second rotation center Q2 relative to the slot 11. For example, the first rotation center Q2 of the baffle 12 is parallel to the first direction X in this example. When the baffle 12 rotates around the second rotation center Q2 toward the slot bottom a2, the baffle 12 opens and exposes the opening slot A. When another structure needs to be inserted into the opening slot A, the baffle 12 can be driven and rotated toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A to expose the opening slot A, allowing the support rod 22 to enter the opening slot A through the opening a1. When no structure needs to be inserted into the opening slot A, the baffle 12 can protect the opening slot A by sealing the opening a1, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering, blocking, or damaging the opening slot A. It should be understood that the baffle 12 sealing the opening a1 is merely a macroscopic description. The baffle 12 is rotatable. Therefore, there exists a certain structural gap between the baffle 12 and the edge of the opening a1, which allows the baffle 12 to rotate.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 5a and 5b. Specifically, the slot 11 includes a slot body 11-1 and an end panel 11-2. The opening slot A is provided in the slot body 11-1, and the end panel 11-2 is located at the end of the slot body 11-1 where the opening a1 is provided. The end panel 11-2 exposes the opening a1 of the opening slot A. The baffle 12 may be attached to the slot body 11-1 or the end panel 11-2. The extension direction of the slot body 11-1 is also the extension direction of the opening slot A, and the cross-sectional dimension of the slot body 11-1 is smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the end panel 11-2 along the extension direction of the slot body 11-1. The projection of the slot body 11-1 onto the end panel 11-2 along the extension direction of the opening slot A is located within the cross-sectional range of the end panel 11-2, which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the opening slot A. In the plane where the opening a1 is located, the edges of the end panel 11-2 fan out from the edges of the slot body 11-1. For example, objects such as bag straps, hanging ornaments, and clothing can be hung on the slot body 11-1, and the end panel 11-2 can prevent the hung objects from falling off the slot body 11-1. For example, by setting the vertical load of the slot body 11-1 to 25 kg, the slot 11 can be extended to accommodate a coat and hat stand. The slot body 11-1 and the end panel 11-2 may be made of metal. For example, the length of the slot body 11-1 is 99 mm, the dimension of the end panel 11-2 along the first direction X is 96 mm, and the dimension of the end panel 11-2 along the third direction Z is 50 mm. The weight of the entire slot structure 1 is 220 g. In the following embodiments, for convenience of illustration, a portion of the end panel 11-2 may be hidden as appropriate.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 5c, for example, an attachment portion 15 is placed in the slot 1 of the slot structure 1, and this attachment portion 15 can be clamped and fixed to another structure to fix the slot structure 1 to the other structure.

[0040] In the left-hand view of the slot structure 1 shown in FIG. 5c, the extension direction of the opening slot A is inclined at an included angle α with respect to the horizontal plane, where the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the third direction Z. Based on the horizontal plane, the opening a1 of the opening slot A is higher than the slot bottom a2. When another structure is inserted into the opening slot A, the gravity G of the structure is resolved into a first component force g1 and a second component force g2. The first component force g1 is along the direction in which the opening a1 of the opening slot A points toward the slot bottom a2, and the second component force g2 is perpendicular to the slot wall of the opening slot A, thereby preventing the structure inserted into the opening slot A from falling out of the opening slot A. In FIG. 6a, the plane on which the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A is located is maintained flush with the plane on which the opening a1 is located. In some cases, as shown in Fig. 6b, the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A is perpendicular to the extension direction of the opening slot A, and the plane on which the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A lies is inclined by an included angle α with respect to the plane on which the opening a1 lies. Of course, the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A may be arranged in other ways instead, and one example is given here for illustrative purposes only.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 7 , a lock assembly 13 is further disposed in the slot structure 1 provided in this embodiment of the present application, thereby preventing the baffle 12 from rotating in the event of accidental contact and thereby failing to seal the opening a1 of the opening slot A. The lock assembly 13 is specifically located on the side of the baffle 12 facing the slot bottom a2. The lock assembly 13 is disposed within the opening slot A and is movable relative to the opening slot A. A lock blocker 111 configured to engage with the lock assembly 13 is disposed in the opening slot A of the slot 11. The lock blocker 111 may be specifically located within the opening slot A. The lock assembly 13 has a locked position in which the lock assembly 13 locks and engages with the lock blocker 111, and an unlocked position in which the lock assembly 13 is disengaged from the lock blocker 111. When the lock assembly 13 is in the locked position, the lock assembly 13 engages with the lock blocker 111. In this case, the locking assembly 13 and the slot 11 remain fixed and restricted in a specified direction. Specifically, when the baffle 12 rotates around the second rotation center Q2 toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A, the locking assembly 13 can prevent the baffle 12 from rotating. The locking assembly 13 may contact the baffle 12. When the baffle 12 rotates toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A, the locking assembly 13 can timely prevent the baffle 12 from rotating toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A, preventing the baffle 12 from disengaging from the opening a1 of the opening slot A and exposing the opening a1. Here, the action of the baffle 12 rotating toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A and exposing the opening a1 may be considered the opening of the baffle 12.

[0042] For example, the lock assembly 13 may include a rocker member 131, a linkage member 132, and a sliding member 133. The rocker member 131 is rotatably connected to the slot 11, and one end of the rocker member 131 may be rotatably mounted within the opening slot A around a first rotation center Q1. For example, the first rotation center Q1 of the rocker member 131 coincides with the second rotation center Q2 of the baffle 12. The sliding member 133 slidably engages with the lock blocker 111 along the third direction Z. One end of the linkage member 132 is rotatably connected to the rocker member 131, and the other end is rotatably engaged with the sliding member 133. The rocker member 131, the linkage member 132, and the sliding member 133 form a crank-slider component. When the rocker member 131 rotates relative to the slot 11, the sliding member 133 can be driven to move along the third direction Z. The lock blocker 111 has a slot shape, and the extension direction of the lock blocker 111 is parallel to the third direction Z. When the sliding member 133 slides into the lock blocker 111, the sliding member 133 is prevented from moving along a direction perpendicular to the second direction Y, restricting the lock assembly 13 and preventing the lock assembly 13 from rotating around the first rotation center Q1. In this case, the baffle 12 cannot be opened because it is blocked by the lock assembly 13. The sliding member 133 may contact the baffle 12. When the sliding member 133 is driven by the swing member 131 and the link mechanism member 132, the sliding member 133 can slide on the baffle 12. It should be understood that when the sliding member 133 separates from the lock blocker 111, the sliding direction of the sliding member 133 is determined based on the rotation direction of the swing member 131 and is not limited to the third direction Z. The sliding member 133 can slide along the surface of the baffle 12. For example, an elastic reset member 14 is further connected between the swing member 131 and the baffle 12, and the elastic reset member 14 has elastic potential energy that drives the baffle 12 to reset.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 7, the operation process of the lock assembly 13 in this embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the simplified structural diagrams of the lock assembly 13 and the baffle 12 shown in FIGS. 8a to 8d. The lock assembly 13 is disposed on the side of the baffle 12 facing the slot bottom a2, and the baffle 12 is located on the side of the lock assembly 13 away from the slot bottom a2. The opening slot A is not shown in FIGS. 8a and 8b. As shown in FIG. 8a, the sliding member 133 of the lock assembly 13 fits into the lock blocker 111 on the slot 11, and the sliding member 133 is located on the side of the baffle 12 facing the slot bottom a2. The sliding member 133 can prevent the baffle 12 from rotating around the second rotation center Q2 toward the slot bottom a2 and opening. As shown in FIG. 8b, when the swinging member 131 is driven to rotate counterclockwise around the second rotation center Q2, the sliding member 133 is driven via the link mechanism member 132 to move upward along the surface of the baffle 12 and separate from the lock blocker 111. When the sliding member 133 is disengaged from the lock blocker 111, the lock assembly 13 is in the unlocked position. The position of the baffle 12 is relatively fixed, and the action of the swinging member 131 compresses the elastic reset member 14, generating elastic potential energy. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8c, when a force F toward the slot bottom a2 is applied to the baffle 12, the baffle 12 rotates clockwise around the second rotation center Q2. When the sliding member 133 of the lock assembly 13 abuts against the baffle 12 and the lock assembly 13 is in the unlocked position, the action of the baffle 12 drives the lock assembly 13 to rotate clockwise. When the force F disappears, as shown in FIG. 8d, the baffle 12 can rotate counterclockwise around the second center of rotation Q2 and reset under the action of gravity, and the elastic reset member 14 releases the elastic potential energy.The position of the baffle 12 is relatively fixed, and the elastic potential energy released by the elastic reset member 14 drives the swing member 131 to rotate clockwise around the first rotation center Q1, and the sliding member 133 is driven via the link mechanism member 132 to slide into the lock blocker 111, thereby finally locking the lock assembly 13. For example, the elastic reset member 14 is a spring.

[0044] 7 and 8a to 8d, when the lock assembly 13 is in the locked position, the lock assembly 13 is fixed relative to the slot 11 and can restrict and close the baffle 12. The baffle 12 can be locked with the opening a1 closed, and an external force cannot drive the baffle 12 open. In this case, when an external force is applied to the baffle 12, the lock assembly 13 is positioned opposite the external force, and the lock assembly 13 applies a blocking force to the baffle 12 to prevent it from rotating. If the baffle 12 is accidentally touched, because the baffle 12 is blocked by the lock assembly 13, the baffle 12 will not open to expose the opening a1 and the opening slot A. This prevents foreign objects from entering the opening slot A and also protects the opening slot A. When the lock assembly 13 is in the unlocked position, the lock assembly 13 is not locked to the lock blocker 111, is not engaged with the lock blocker 111, and is free relative to the lock blocker 111. In this case, a driving force is applied to the baffle 12, and the lock assembly 13 does not block the baffle 12. By rotating the baffle 12 toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A, the lock assembly 13 is driven to move together. In this case, the baffle 12 opens to expose the opening a1, and the support rod 22 of the support 2 can be inserted into the opening slot A through the opening a1, completing the insertion and engagement between the support 2 and the slot structure 1.

[0045] When the slot structure 1 is used with the support 2, the operation of the lock assembly 13 can be controlled by the to-be-inserted structure that needs to be inserted into the opening slot A, preventing the opening a1 of the opening slot A from being exposed as a result of accidental contact with the baffle 12. Specifically, the lock assembly 13 can be specified to be driven by the support rod 22 to move and release the lock when the to-be-inserted structure approaches the baffle 12. When the to-be-inserted structure approaches the baffle 12 and applies an acting force thereto, the lock assembly 13 does not block the baffle 12, causing the baffle 12 to open and expose the opening a1, allowing the to-be-inserted structure to be smoothly inserted into the opening slot A through the opening a1.

[0046] For example, as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is disposed in the lock assembly 13, and the first magnetic attraction portion C1 can be magnetically attracted to perform an operation. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 9A, when a target object that can magnetically attract the first magnetic attraction portion C1 approaches the baffle 12 and the distance between the target object and the baffle 12 is close enough for the magnetic core to attract the first magnetic attraction portion C1, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 drives the lock assembly 13 to rotate counterclockwise around the first rotation center Q1, causing the sliding member 133 to slide out of the lock blocker 111, switching the lock assembly 13 from the locked position to the unlocked position, and allowing the lock assembly 13 to unlock the baffle 12. The target object pushes the baffle 12 to rotate toward the slot bottom a2, causing the baffle 12 to open and expose the opening a1, allowing the target object to be inserted into the opening slot A. The first magnetic attraction portion C1 may include a magnetic material or may include iron.

[0047] 8a to 8d and 9a. In the rocking member 131, the link mechanism member 132, and the sliding member 133, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 may be disposed on the rocking member 131. When the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is magnetically attracted by an external structure, the rocking member 131 rotates around the first rotation center toward the side closer to the baffle 12, and the rocking member 131 drives the sliding member 133 via the link mechanism member 132 to slide away from the lock blocker 111. When the sliding member 133 separates from the lock blocker 111, the lock assembly 13 is in the unlocked position. In this case, the entire lock assembly 13 rotates around the first rotation center Q1, driving the baffle 12 to rotate toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A, thereby opening the baffle 12. When no external magnetic attraction force is acting on the first magnetic attraction portion C1, the sliding member 133 can fit into the lock blocker 111 under the action of gravity, thereby keeping the lock assembly 13 in the locked position and preventing the baffle 12 from opening. Alternatively, the entire structure of the swinging member 131 may include a magnetic material or iron. That is, the swinging member 131 as a whole is used as the first magnetic attraction portion C1.

[0048] The first magnetic attraction portion C1 may be disposed on the swinging member 131 as shown in FIG. 9a, or on the link mechanism member 132 as shown in FIG. 9b. When the swinging member 131 is rotatably connected to the link mechanism member 132 via a hinge portion such as a pin shaft, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 may be disposed on the hinge portion as shown in FIG. 9c. From a mechanical viewpoint, it should be understood that the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is disposed at a position on the swinging member 131 close to the position where the swinging member 131 is rotatably connected to the link mechanism member 132, thereby obtaining a greater effect. In other words, a smaller magnetic attraction force results in a greater displacement effect.

[0049] By disposing the first magnetic attraction portion C1, the swinging member 131 is driven to rotate only when the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is magnetically attracted, and the sliding member 133 is driven via the link mechanism member 132 to disengage from the lock blocker 111. In this way, the lock assembly 13 is unlocked, further enhancing the safety of the slot structure 1. When the slot structure 1 is in an idle state, the baffle 12 can seal and close the opening a1 of the opening slot A, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering the opening slot A and blocking or damaging the opening slot A.

[0050] When the lock assembly 13 is in the unlocked position and the baffle 12 is driven to rotate about the second center of rotation Q2, driving the lock assembly 13 to rotate about the first center of rotation Q1, the force applied to the baffle 12 must still overcome the gravity of the lock assembly 13 falling onto the baffle 12.

[0051] 10 , in some embodiments, the first rotation center Q1 of the swing member 131 is parallel to the second rotation center Q2 of the baffle 12. When the baffle 12 rotates about the second rotation center Q2 to drive the lock assembly 13 to rotate about the first rotation center Q1, the same rotation direction of the baffle 12 and the lock assembly 13 can be maintained, and the effect of opening the baffle 12 can also be achieved. When the baffle 12 rotates clockwise about the first rotation center Q1, the sliding member 133 in the lock assembly 13 slides on the baffle 12.

[0052] In the idle state, while the elastic reset member 14 is releasing its elastic potential energy, the baffle 12 can be maintained at the opening a1 by relying on the gravity of the baffle 12, thereby allowing the elastic potential energy released by the elastic reset member 14 to drive the swinging member 131 to rotate away from the baffle 12. As shown in FIG. 11 , by further disposing a limit stopper 112 in the slot 11 at the opening a1 of the opening slot A, the elastic reset member 14 can drive the baffle 12 to rotate away from the slot bottom a2, preventing the opening a1 from being exposed. Specifically, the limit stopper 112 is disposed on the side of the baffle 12 facing away from the slot bottom a2. The limit stopper 112 is located on the path of the baffle 12 as it rotates away from the slot bottom a2 around the first rotation center Q1, and can limit the baffle 12 from rotating away from the slot bottom a2. When the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is no longer magnetically attracted, the baffle 12 rotates around the second rotation center Q2 under the action of gravity toward the side away from the slot bottom a2 until the opening a1 is sealed. The baffle 12 is blocked by the limit stopper 112, preventing it from continuing to rotate away from the slot bottom a2. The elastic reset member 14 releases its elastic potential energy, driving the swing member 131 to rotate toward the side closer to the slot bottom a2. The swing member 131 drives the sliding member 133 via the link mechanism member 132 to move along the third direction Z until the sliding member 133 engages with the lock blocker 111, thereby switching the lock assembly 13 from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 12 , when inserting or securing a mobile terminal device using the slot structure 1 provided in this embodiment of the present application, taking into consideration the charging requirements of the mobile terminal device, a charging port B1 may be disposed in the opening slot A of the slot 11, and the charging port B1 may be specifically located at the bottom a2 of the slot. A connection port D electrically connected to the charging port B1 is disposed in the slot 11. The connection port D may be externally connected to a power source such as a vehicle battery, so that the mobile terminal device can be charged through the charging port B1 of the slot 11. The connection port D may be a Lightning interface, a Type-C interface, or a mini Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, but this is not limited thereto.

[0054] In order to facilitate the transmission of electrical signals, the charging port B1 in this specification may specifically be a contact charging port.

[0055] In some cases, as shown in FIG. 13 , a fixing portion E may be disposed within the opening slot A to further fix the structure inserted into the opening slot A. When the insertion target member is inserted into the opening slot A, the fixing portion E can fix the insertion target member to the opening slot A. The fixing portion E may be a protrusion protruding from the inner wall of the opening slot A, and the insertion target member is fixed by friction between the protrusion and the insertion target member. Alternatively, the fixing portion E may be a clamp slot, and a clamp portion that is clamped within the clamp slot and engages with the clamp slot is disposed corresponding to the insertion target member, and the insertion target member is fixed within the opening slot A by clamping and engagement between the clamp portion and the clamp slot.

[0056] One embodiment of the present application further provides a support 2. As shown in FIG. 14 , the support 2 includes a panel 21 and a support rod 22, with one end of the support rod 22 rotatably connected to the panel 21. The panel 21 can be used to mount and secure an electronic device. The electronic device can be secured to the panel 21, and the support rod 22 can be secured to another fixture to provide a support point for the electronic device, thereby freeing up the consumer's hands and eliminating the need for the consumer to hold the electronic device. For example, the support 2 can be secured to the slot structure 1 of the above-described embodiment. Specifically, the support rod 22 can be inserted into the opening slot A of the slot 11 and secured thereto. For example, the panel 21 has a circular shape, and the area of ​​the circle is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the support rod 22. A panel 21 with a relatively large area can provide a relatively large contact area with an electronic device secured to the panel 21, thereby providing good, stable support for the electronic device.

[0057] A mounting portion used to secure an electronic device can be disposed on the panel 21, thereby securing the electronic device. For example, as shown in FIG. 15a, the mounting portion is a magnetic attraction structure 211, which is magnetically attracted to a structure having a magnetic attraction function in the electronic device, thereby magnetically attaching the electronic device to the panel 21. The magnetic attraction structure 211 may be hidden within the panel 21, and here the magnetic attraction structure 211 is indicated by a dashed line. It should be understood that the shape, position, and size of the magnetic attraction structure 211 in this example are merely exemplary.

[0058] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15b, for example, the mounting portion is two symmetrically arranged clamp members 212. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 15b, the two clamp members 212 can apply clamping forces in two opposite directions to the electronic device, thereby fixing the electronic device. When the electronic device needs to be removed, the two clamp members 212 need to move in opposite directions to release the clamping forces applied to the electronic device. As shown in FIG. 15c, based on the structure of the elastic clamp members 212, an unlock button 213, a drive portion 215, a transmission portion 214, a first elastic member 216, and a second elastic member 217 configured to control the operation of the clamp members 212 are further disposed on the support 2. The unlock button 21 3is movably attached to the panel 21, and the drive portion 215 is fixed to the side of the unlock button 213 facing the panel 21. The drive portion 215 is fixed to the panel 21 via an elastic member 216. The cross-sectional area of ​​the drive portion 215 gradually decreases along the direction in which the unlock button 213 points to the drive portion 215. For example, the drive portion 215 has a conical or frusto-conical shape. Each clamp member 212 is connected to a corresponding one of the transmission portions 214, and the transmission portions 214 can be movably attached to the panel 21 along the vertical direction shown in the figure. Each transmission portion 214 can move along the vertical direction shown in the figure, driving the two clamp members 212 to move closer to or farther away from each other. The transmission portion 214 is connected to the panel 21 via a second elastic member 217. Each transmission portion 214 abuts against the drive portion 215, and the surface of the transmission portion 214 used to abut against the drive portion 215 is inclined. 15c, the panel 21 does not secure the electronic device. The first elastic member 216 and the two second elastic members 217 are both in a free state, and the distance between the two clamp members 212 is not sufficient to position the electronic device between them. In this case, a leftward force is applied to the unlock button 213 along the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, causing the unlock button 213 to move leftward, causing the drive member 215 to compress the first elastic member 216, which in turn drives the two transmission members 214 to move away from each other, thereby moving the two clamp members 212 away from each other until the distance between the two clamp members 212 is sufficient to place the electronic device between the two clamp members 212. The two second elastic members 217 are compressed. After the electronic device is placed between the two clamp members 212, no force is applied to the unlock button 213, and the first elastic member 216 releases its elastic potential energy to drive the drive member 215 and the unlock button 213 to reset.The two second elastic members 217 release their elastic potential energy to drive the two transmission members 214 toward each other, causing the two clamp members 212 to approach each other and clamp the electronic device, thereby fixing the electronic device. When it is necessary to remove the electronic device, force is again applied to the unlock button 213, causing the two clamp members 212 to move away from each other via the drive member 215 and the two transmission members 214, thereby releasing the clamped electronic device. In this case, the electronic device can be removed.

[0059] It should be noted that the structure shown in Figure 15c is only one example of a possible implementation for securing an electronic device to a panel 21 via the two clamp members 212 shown in Figure 15b. Of course, the two clamp members 212 can instead be controlled via other mechanical transmission structures such as gears and racks, threads and screws, and cranks and sliders, examples of which will not be described again here.

[0060] As shown in Figures 16a and 16b, when an electronic device fixed to the panel 21 can be charged via the support 2, a charging port B2 can be further disposed on the panel 21, and the charging port B2 can be a contact-type charging port. Referring to Figures 17a and 17b, a connection cable B3 connected to the charging port B2 is disposed within the support rod 22, and this connection cable B3 is used to connect to an external power source. For example, the connection cable B3 is a flat cable, but of course it can also be another conductor instead. The connection cable B3 is disposed inside the support rod 22 and is indicated by a dashed line.

[0061] The support rod 22 needs to be fixed to another fixed structure, such as the slot structure 1, to provide support for the panel 21 and the electronic devices fixed to the panel 21. The support rod 22 needs to withstand relatively large stress. To ensure safety, an impact crushing portion is disposed on the support rod 22. Specifically, when an impact force applied to the support rod 22 along the extension direction of the support rod 22 reaches a predetermined threshold, the impact crushing portion crushes, deforms, or breaks. The predetermined threshold is a force that may damage the material of the support rod. When the support rod 22 receives an impact force exceeding the predetermined threshold along the extension direction of the support rod 22, the support rod 22 may crush or break at the impact crushing portion. This is equivalent to the impact crushing portion absorbing the impact force.

[0062] Specifically, the impact crushing portion may be a weak structure having a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the support rod 22, or may be made of a material with a relatively low stress-bearing capacity. This is not a limitation of the present application. For example, the impact crushing portion is the weakest portion of the support rod 22. When a force of 1500 N or more is applied to the panel 21 along the extension direction of the support rod 22, the impact crushing portion deforms or breaks, thereby preventing the consumer from being injured in a collision. Alternatively, by using different metal materials at different positions on the support rod 22, different positions on the support rod 22 have a graduated strength distribution. When a force of 1500 N or more is applied to the panel 21 along the extension direction of the support rod 22, the weakest portion will first crush, deform, or break, and then other portions of the support rod 22 will sequentially crush or deform, thereby reducing the energy transmitted to the occupant and mitigating injury. Furthermore, when the impact crushing portion breaks upon impact, the cross section obtained after the impact crushing portion breaks can be designed as a relatively smooth portion, thereby reducing the impact of damage to the consumer caused by the breakage of the support rod 22.

[0063] 18a and 18b, the panel 21 is inclined at an included angle β relative to the support rod 22 to facilitate support. When the panel 21 is in the vertical orientation shown in Figs. 18a and 18b, one end of the support rod 22 that is used to connect to the panel 21 is higher than the other end of the support rod 22 that is remote from the panel 21. In this structure, the support rod 22 can provide more stable support to the panel 21.

[0064] Further, see FIG. 19 . When the support 2 is in an applied state, the panel 21 is rotatably attached to the support rod 22 via the hinge 23. The panel 21 can rotate relative to the support rod 22 along the direction of the arrow shown in FIG. 19 . In other words, the panel 21 can achieve pitch rotation by rotating relative to the support rod 22 around an axis parallel to the horizontal direction. The structure of the hinge 23 is relatively general, and is not limited herein as long as the effect of the panel 21 rotating relative to the support rod 22 can be achieved. For example, the panel 21 can rotate by ±10° relative to the support rod 22, thereby changing the angle of the panel 21 relative to the consumer and meeting the usage requirements of consumers of different heights.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, the support rod 22 of the support body 2 can be magnetically fixed to another fixing device using a magnetic attraction method. As shown in Figure 19, a second magnetic attraction portion C2 can be disposed at the end of the support rod 22. The second magnetic attraction portion C2 may include a magnetic material or may include iron.

[0066] 20a and 20b, a fastener 222 and an unlocking member 223 may be further disposed on the support rod 22 of the support body 2. The fastener 222 is configured to fix the support rod 22 to another structure in a clamping manner. Of course, the other structure must have a structure that can be clamped to the fastener 222. The fastener 222 may be movably attached to the support rod 22 along the direction of the arrow shown in the figure, and the fastener 222 may partially protrude outside the support rod 22 and partially be located inside the support rod 22. When the fastener 222 moves toward the inside of the support rod 22, the fastener 222 may be completely hidden inside the support rod 22, and the engagement of the support rod 22 with the other structure may not be affected. When the fastener 222 is at least partially located outside the support rod 22, the support rod 22 may be clamped to and engaged with the other structure via the fastener 222, thereby fixing the support rod. A state in which at least a portion of the fastener 222 protrudes outside the support rod 22 can be considered to be a locked state, and a state in which the fastener 222 is completely hidden within the support rod 22 can be considered to be an unlocked state. The unlocking member 223 is configured to control the locking and unlocking of the fastener 222.

[0067] For example, as shown in Figure 20a, the fixing device 222 is connected to the unlocking member 223 via the connecting member 221, and the connecting member 221 is connected to the support rod 22 via the third elastic member 224. 3 is driven to move along the direction of the arrow, the fixing device 222 and the unlocking member 223 can be driven to move synchronously via the connecting member 221. The third elastic member 224 can apply a restoring force to the connecting member 221. The connecting member 221 has a first working position where the fixing device 222 extends from the support rod 22 and a second working position where the fixing device 222 is hidden within the support rod 22. When the third elastic member 224 is in a free state, the fixing device 222 extends from the support rod 22.

[0068] 20b, the fixing member 222 may be connected to the unlocking member 223 via a connecting member 221, and the connecting member 221 may be rotatably attached to the support rod 22 around a third rotation center Q3. The fixing member 222 and the unlocking member 223 are respectively disposed on both ends of the connecting member 221, and the direction in which the fixing member 222 extends from the support rod 22 is opposite to the direction in which the unlocking member 223 extends from the support rod 22. When the connecting member 221 rotates around the third rotation center Q3, the moving direction of the fixing member 222 is opposite to the moving direction of the unlocking member 223. The connecting member 221 is connected to the support rod 22 via a third elastic member 224, and the third elastic member 224 can apply a restoring force to the connecting member 221.

[0069] It should be understood that the support 2 may alternatively be secured to another structure via other structures, and the fasteners 222 and unlocking members 223 herein are merely exemplary structures.

[0070] 21a and 21b, when fixing the support body 2 to another structure, the fixing device 222 is used to clamp the other structure and fix it to the other structure. Therefore, the fixing device 222 is arranged on the side of the support rod 22, slightly away from the panel 21. A user needs to control the fixing device 222 by operating the lock release member 223. Therefore, the lock release member 223 is arranged on the side of the support rod 22, closer to the panel 21.

[0071] A protective layer can be coated on the surface of the support 2 to protect the support 2, and this protective layer can provide the support 2 with excellent scratch resistance.

[0072] An embodiment of the present application further provides a support device. As shown in FIG. 22 , the support device includes a slot structure 1 and a support 2, where the support 2 is inserted into and engaged with the slot structure 1. During use, the slot structure 1 can be placed in a fixing device, the support 2 is fixed to a mobile terminal device, and the support 2 is inserted into the slot structure 1 to achieve insertion and fixation, thereby fixing the mobile terminal device to the fixing device via the support 2. The support device can be used in any situation where a consumer uses a mobile terminal device, such as at home or in a means of transportation. Depending on various application scenarios, the fixing device in this specification may be, for example, a seat in a vehicle, a seat in a commercial aircraft, or a bedside table at home.

[0073] For the slot structure 1, please refer to the slot structure 1 and the support 2 described in the previous embodiment. The support rod 22 of the support 2 can be inserted into the opening slot A of the slot structure 1. During application, the opening a1 of the opening slot A of the slot structure 1 faces the support 2, so that the support rod 22 of the support 2 can be easily inserted into the opening slot A of the slot structure 1, thereby realizing the insertion and engagement between the support 2 and the slot structure 1.

[0074] The panel 21 can be fixed to the mobile terminal device. In other words, the panel 21 is fixed to the mobile terminal device and can move as the mobile terminal device moves. Alternatively, the panel 21 may be in a state where it is used to fix the mobile terminal device. In other words, the panel 21 may be detachably connected to the mobile terminal device, for example, as shown in FIG. 15a or 15b. When the mobile terminal device is removed, the panel 21 can be detached from the mobile terminal device, and the mobile terminal device and the panel 21 are independent of each other.

[0075] 23a and 23b show examples of the insertion and engagement between the slot structure 1 and the support 2. The first magnetic attraction portion C1 is disposed on the swinging member 131, and the second magnetic attraction portion C2 is disposed on an end of the support rod 22 of the support 2 that is far from the panel 21. When the support rod 22 of the support 2 approaches the baffle 12 and the distance between the support rod 22 and the baffle 12 is close enough for the first magnetic attraction portion C1 and the second magnetic attraction portion C2 to generate a magnetic attraction, the second magnetic attraction portion C2 can attract the first magnetic attraction portion C1, causing the swinging member 131 to rotate around the first rotation center Q1 toward the baffle 12, and the swinging member 131 drives the sliding member 133 via the link mechanism member 132 to slide in a direction away from the lock blocker 111. When the sliding member 133 separates from the lock blocker 111, the lock assembly 13 is in the unlocked position. In this state, the entire lock assembly 13 can rotate around the first rotation center Q1. As shown in FIG. 23b, the support rod 22 of the support 2 contacts the baffle 12 and applies a force to the baffle 12 in the direction indicated by the arrow. The force direction is the extension direction of the opening slot A. The support rod 2 can drive the baffle 12 to rotate around the second rotation center Q2 toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A, thereby opening the baffle 12. In this state, the lock assembly 13 is in the unlocked position. As shown in FIG. 23c, the lock assembly 13 is in a lap joint with the baffle 12 and can rotate around the first rotation center Q1 toward the slot bottom a2 of the opening slot A. When the support rod 22 of the support body 2 is inserted into the opening slot A, as shown in Fig. 23d, the connection cable B3 of the support rod 22 can be electrically connected to the charging port B1 in the opening slot A, and an electrical connection can be realized between the charging port B2 and the connection port D. When an electronic device is fixed to the panel 21, the electronic device can be charged through the charging port B2.

[0076] After the support rod 2 is removed, the baffle 12 returns to the position shown in FIG. 23e under the action of gravity, the swing member 131 of the lock assembly 13 rotates toward the baffle 12 around the first rotation center Q1, and the sliding member 133 abuts against the baffle 12. The elastic reset member 14 releases the elastic potential energy, and the sliding member 133 33 and slide it along the baffle 12 into the quick lock blocker 111, and the lock assembly 13 returns to the locked position, locking the baffle 12.

[0077] The magnetic attraction function between the first magnetic attraction portion C1 and the second magnetic attraction portion C2 requires consideration of the distance between the support rod 22 and the baffle 12 and the selection of the magnetic material. This is not limited to this embodiment of the present application. One of the first magnetic attraction portion C1 and the second magnetic attraction portion C2 may include a magnetic material, the other may include iron, or both may include a magnetic material. For example, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is a magnet, and the second magnetic attraction portion C2 is a magnet or a material containing iron powder. Alternatively, the first magnetic attraction portion C1 is a magnet or a material containing iron powder, and the second magnetic attraction portion C2 is a magnet. Alternatively, both the first magnetic attraction portion C1 and the second magnetic attraction portion C2 are magnets.

[0078] 24 , the vehicle includes a vehicle body 200, and front and rear seats 201 and 202 arranged in the vehicle body 200.

[0079] As shown in Fig. 25a, the slot structure 1 is disposed on the back of the front row seat 201. The structure having the second magnetic member C2 can be inserted into the opening slot A of the slot structure 1, thereby fixing the structure having the second magnetic member C2.

[0080] Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 25b, the support device 10 is disposed on the back of the front seat 201. When a passenger is seated in the rear seat 202, the electronic device can be inserted into the slot structure 1 via a structure such as the support device 2, freeing both hands from other tasks. The baffle 12 of the slot structure 1 can be locked via the lock assembly 13 in the idle state, preventing foreign objects from entering and blocking or damaging the slot structure 1 in the idle state. When the support 2 of the above-described embodiment is used, the support 2 has an impact crushing portion, so that the support rod 22 can crush or break at a preset position when subjected to an impact force along the extension direction of the support rod 22. This improves safety.

[0081] The connection port D of the slot structure 1 is connected to a vehicle battery, and the electronic device fixed to the support 2 can be charged via the vehicle battery. In addition, a detection unit connected to a vehicle control system is further disposed on the support 2, and can detect whether the electronic device is fixed to the panel 21. When a passenger removes the electronic device from the panel 21, the detection unit transmits information to the vehicle control system to prompt the passenger to remove the support 2. After the support 2 is removed, the baffle 12 of the slot structure 1 can seal the opening a1, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering the opening slot A.

[0082] The slot structure 1 can be arranged in a hidden state in the front row seats 201, with only the opening a1 through which the support 2 is inserted being exposed, thereby saving space and providing a good spatial experience to passengers. Alternatively, the slot structure 1 may extend partially to the front row seats 201. In this case, the slot structure 1 can be used to hang an object.

[0083] It should be understood that when using the slot structure 1 in a vehicle, fixing the slot structure 1 to the back of the front row seats 201 is merely an example application. The slot structure 1 can instead be located in a location such as the vehicle frame, the vehicle door, or a central control unit to meet various consumer usage requirements.

[0084] It is obvious that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the present application without departing from the scope of the present application, and the present application intends to cover the modifications and variations of the present application as long as they fall within the scope of protection defined by the following claims and their equivalent technologies.
