Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mobile terminal mounting device for mounting a mobile terminal on an automobile. [Background technology]

[0002] A car navigation system can guide a driver to a destination and can be installed in a car. However, such a device is relatively expensive and the cost burden is large. Therefore, a navigation software application can be installed on a mobile terminal, such as a smartphone, and the smartphone can be used as a car navigation system.

[0003] To use a smartphone with navigation software installed in a car, it must be attached to the car. In this case, for example, a mobile terminal can be attached to the air vent of an air conditioner, or, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2020-78037, a mobile terminal can be attached to the dashboard of the car.

[0004] Meanwhile, in recent years, automobiles have begun to be equipped with display audio devices, and by linking these display audio devices with smartphones, images from the smartphones with navigation software installed can be displayed on the display audio devices and used as car navigation.

[0005] This display audio device is positioned so that it protrudes from the top of the center cluster, which is located in the center of the instrument panel, and is positioned so as not to obstruct visibility.

[0006] However, as disclosed in JP 2020-78037 A, when the mobile terminal, a smartphone, is attached to the dashboard, it may be hidden by the display audio device, causing problems in use.

[0007] Also, if the smartphone is mounted on the dashboard so that it is not hidden by the display audio equipment, it may obstruct the view. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0013] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the mobile terminal attachment device of a fourth aspect is the same as that of the first to third aspects, further comprising a cord winding part for winding a cord around the fixing part. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] The present invention is configured and operates as described above, and therefore can provide a mobile terminal mounting device that mounts a mobile terminal in an automobile so that the mobile terminal is not hidden by the display audio device. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0015] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a front view of the mobile terminal mounting device. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a side view of the mobile terminal mounting device. [Figure 3] FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a plan view of the mobile terminal mounting device. [Figure 5] 1 is a front conceptual view showing a state in which the mobile terminal attachment device is attached to a display audio device. [Figure 6] 10 is a conceptual rear view showing the mobile terminal attachment device attached to the display audio device. FIG.

[0016] The mobile terminal mounting device 10 of this embodiment will be described. The mobile terminal mounting device 10 is used to secure a mobile terminal M, such as a smartphone, and is mounted on a display-audio device 100, and is preferably mounted on a display-audio device 100 that is disposed so as to protrude above a center cluster 120 that is located on an instrument panel 110, also known as the instrument panel of an automobile. The mobile terminal M can also be mounted so that it is not hidden by the display-audio device 100.

[0017] In this way, if the display audio device 100 disposed in the above-described position can be attached, it is possible to reduce the risk of the mobile terminal M being attached to the display audio device 100 and obstructing the view, as will be described later. In particular, the rear surface 101 of the display audio device 100 disposed so as to protrude above the center cluster 120 and above the dashboard 130 would be dead space, so this space can be effectively utilized.

[0018] The mobile terminal mounting device 10 of this embodiment has a mounting portion 20 that is mounted on the display audio equipment 100, an arm portion 40 connected to the mounting portion, and a fixing portion 60 that fixes the mobile terminal that is rotatably mounted on the arm portion 40.

[0019] The mounting portion 20 has a rear mounting portion 21 that is attached to the rear surface 101 of the display-audio device 100 in order to mount it on the display-audio device 100, and a dashboard mounting portion 25 that is placed on the dashboard 130 for mounting.

[0020] The rear mounting portion 21 of the mounting portion 20 is preferably configured to follow the shape of the rear surface 101 of the display audio device 100. For example, if the shape of the rear surface 101 is a convex curved surface, the shape of the rear mounting portion 21 is preferably configured to be a concave curved surface so as to follow the convex curved surface. The dashboard mounting portion 25 can be mounted on the dashboard 130. The dashboard mounting portion 25 is preferably configured to follow the shape of the dashboard 130. For example, if the shape of the dashboard 130 is a concave curved surface, the shape of the dashboard mounting portion 25 is preferably configured to be a convex curved surface so as to follow the shape of the concave curved dashboard 130.

[0021] The arm portion 40 connects the mounting portion 20 and the fixed portion 60, and is preferably attached integrally with the mounting portion 20. The arm portion 40 has a first arm member 41 that connects to the mounting portion 20 and a second arm member 46 that connects to the fixed portion 60, which are configured as an integral unit, and the first arm member 41 is preferably configured to have a length that causes it to protrude, for example, toward the driver's seat (in the width direction of the vehicle) when the mounting portion 20 is attached to the rear surface 101 of the display audio device 100. In particular, it is preferable that the first arm member 41 protrudes horizontally.

[0022] Further, arm second member 46 is disposed at a right angle to first member 41 in a plan view (in the overall length direction of the automobile), and has a spherical member 47 at its tip 46a, the direction of which can be freely changed.

[0023] The rear surface 61 of the fixing part 60 allows the spherical member 47 of the arm second member 46 to rotate, and has a receiving part 62 that engages with the spherical member 47. This allows the inclination of the fixing part 60 to be freely changed. The fixing part 60 can literally fix the mobile terminal M.

[0024] The fixing part 60 has a pair of clamping parts 65, 65 and a protrusion 66, and can hold both sides and the bottom of the portable terminal M. In addition, the back surface 61 has a release button 68, and by pressing the release button 68, the fixing of the portable terminal M clamped by the pair of clamping parts 65, 65 can be released.

[0025] The back surface 61 of the fixed part 60 has a cord winding part 67 below the receiving part 62, for winding a cord around it. The winding part 67 has a U-shaped protrusion 67a that opens upward, a U-shaped protrusion 67b that opens downward, and a U-shaped protrusion 67c that opens upward. A cord (not shown) can be wound around and held by these U-shaped protrusions 67a, 67b, and 67c (see FIG. 6). In this way, the U-shaped protrusions 67a, 67b, and 67C of the winding part 67 open alternately, so that a cord (not shown) can be reliably wound around it.

[0026] The method of attaching the mobile terminal attachment device 10 of this embodiment will be described. The attachment is performed by adhering the rear attachment portion 21 of the attachment portion 20 to the rear surface 101 of the display audio device 100. In this case, an adhesive material such as double-sided tape can be attached to the rear attachment portion 21 in advance.

[0027] At this time, the dashboard mounting portion 25 of the mounting portion 20 is mounted so as to be placed on and attached to the dashboard 130. In this case, an adhesive material such as double-sided tape can be attached to the dashboard mounting portion 25 in advance.

[0028] In this way, the rear mounting portion 21 of the mounting unit 20 can be attached to the rear surface 101 of the display-audio device 100, making it possible to utilize the dead space on the rear surface 101 of the display-audio device 100 (see FIG. 6). Also, the dashboard mounting portion 25 of the mounting unit 20 can be mounted on the dashboard 130, making it possible to effectively utilize the dead space on the dashboard 130. In this way, by attaching the rear mounting portion 21 and the dashboard mounting portion 25 of the mounting unit 20 to the rear surface 101 of the display-audio device 100 and the dashboard 130, respectively, the mobile terminal mounting device 10 can be securely attached.

[0029] Furthermore, by configuring the arm first member 41 of the arm portion 40 to have a length that protrudes, for example, toward the driver's seat (in the width direction of the vehicle) when the mounting portion 20 is attached to the back surface 101 of the display audio device 100, it is possible to prevent the mobile terminal M from obstructing the field of view as much as possible when the mobile terminal M is attached to the fixed portion 60 (see Figure 5).
