Magnetic suction positioning seat for mobile devices

Abstract

This invention, a magnetic positioning holder for mobile devices, includes a base and a pusher mounted on the base. The front of the base is a magnetic surface for mounting and positioning the back of an external mobile device. The pusher has a force-applying end exposed outside the base and a push-off end that is linked to the force-applying end and protrudes from the surface of the base. When the back of the mobile device is magnetically positioned on the magnetic surface, the user can press the force-applying end of the pusher to cause the push-off end to directly or indirectly push the external mobile device, creating a gap or misalignment between the back of the external mobile device and the magnetic surface of the base to reduce the magnetic force and facilitate user access. In practice, the force-applying end can be positioned on the top or sides of the base to conform to the user's grip posture, thus facilitating the application of force.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is a magnetic positioning base for magnetically positioning external mobile devices. The technical content involves pushing the external mobile device by means of levers or linkages to create a gap or misalignment between the back of the external mobile device and the magnetic positioning base to reduce the magnetic attraction force, so as to facilitate the removal of the mobile device. [Previous Technology]

[0002] In recent years, mobile device manufacturers have been committed to developing wireless charging products, such as charging docks and mobile devices compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard, to provide consumers with a more convenient user experience. Consumers only need to place their mobile devices on the wireless charging dock to charge them. However, due to the limitation that the mobile device needs to be accurately aligned with the sensing range of the wireless charging dock to achieve better charging efficiency, some manufacturers have developed related positioning technologies, such as Apple MagSafe. This product mainly sets up a ring magnetic module around the wireless charging module, so that the wireless charging dock and the back of the mobile device can be magnetically attracted to each other for positioning, allowing the mobile device to be positioned within the optimal charging range, thus improving the problem that traditional wireless charging docks cannot accurately align for charging.

[0003] In addition to MagSafe, there is also a magnetic positioning stand for cars or desktops that can be used to magnetically position mobile devices. With the help of a support frame, the mobile device can be positioned in environments such as office screens, desktops, vehicle windshields, instrument panels or air conditioning vents, eliminating the cumbersome disassembly and assembly of traditional clips and making it more convenient to take it out.

[0004] However, the magnetic positioning base relies on magnetic attraction for positioning. Its stability is related to the weight, appearance, and usage environment of the mobile device itself. For example, if the magnetic positioning base is installed in a vehicle, the environment is subject to vehicle vibrations for extended periods, making the mobile device prone to falling off due to vibrations, which can distract the driver and affect driving safety. Especially when the mobile device has a protective shell, the thickness of the shell affects the magnetic strength and makes it easier to affect the stability of the attraction. If the protective shell is not removed before using the magnetic positioning base, it will not be able to attract the device, making operation inconvenient.

[0005] In order to improve the above-mentioned problems, the creator tried to increase the magnetic force of the magnetic positioning base to stabilize the adsorption of mobile devices. However, after actual operation, it was found that the mobile devices were not easy to pick up due to the excessive magnetic force. In particular, when the magnetic positioning base has a mounting bracket on the back and is fixed to a vehicle or table, the user often changes the set angle of the positioning base when applying force to pick it up. It may even pull the entire support frame off the table or windshield, which is not very convenient to use.

[0006] In view of this, the creator has accumulated many years of research and practical experience in related fields and has created a magnetic positioning base to improve the shortcomings of known magnetic positioning bases, which cause mobile devices to easily slip off due to the aforementioned problems.

New content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a magnetic positioning base that makes it easy for users to pick up mobile devices. The magnetic positioning base has a pusher that can push the external mobile device attached to the positioning base by means of a lever or linkage, so that a gap or misalignment is created between the back of the external mobile device and the magnetic positioning base to reduce the magnetic force, making it easier for users to pick up. It is especially suitable for use in vehicle spaces.

[0008] To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a magnetic positioning base for mobile devices, comprising a base and a pusher disposed on the base. The front of the base is a magnetic surface for the back of an external mobile device to be stacked and positioned. The pusher has a force-applying end exposed outside the base and a pusher end that is connected to the force-applying end and can protrude from the surface of the base. When the back of the mobile device is magnetically positioned on the magnetic surface, pressing the force-applying end of the pusher can cause the pusher end to directly or indirectly push the external mobile device, thereby creating a gap or misalignment between the back of the external mobile device and the magnetic surface of the base to reduce the magnetic force, so as to facilitate the removal of the mobile device from the base.

[0009] With the above structure, when a user wants to remove an external mobile device from the base, the user can easily operate the force-applying end, causing the force-applying end to drive the pushing end to protrude from the base surface and push the external mobile device. This creates a gap or misalignment between the back of the external mobile device and the base, reducing the magnetic attraction force and making it easier for the user to pick it up. Therefore, even if the base uses a magnetic attraction module with a large magnetic attraction force, the setting of the pushing part still allows the user to pick up the external mobile device with less effort and more convenience. Moreover, when picking up the mobile device, it can also avoid changing the setting angle of the positioning seat or the displacement of the entire support frame.

[0010] The following further explains the implementation methods of each component:

[0011] In practice, the force-applying end and the pushing end of the pusher are integrally formed, and a fulcrum pivotally connected to the base is provided between the force-applying end and the pushing end, which is in the shape of a rocker, so that the force-applying end and the pushing end can be relatively displaced by lever through the fulcrum.

[0012] When implemented, there is a fixed angle between the force-applying end and the pushing end.

[0013] In practice, the force-applying end of the pusher is a button protruding outside the base, the inner side of the button is located inside the base and has an inclined push portion; the pushing end is a push rod that can be movably protruding from the surface of the base, the inner side of the push rod has a force-receiving portion that receives the push from the inclined push portion.

[0014] In practice, the force-applying end of the jacking member is located at the top of the base or on both sides of the base.

[0015] In practice, the back of the base is a mating surface, which can be assembled with an external support frame.

[0016] When implemented, the external support frame is a suction cup type support frame, an adhesive type support frame, a counterweight support frame, or a cold air outlet clamp.

[0017] In practice, a wired or wireless charging module is further provided on the base, and the external mobile device can be charged by the wired or wireless charging module after being magnetically positioned.

[0018] Compared to previous technologies, this invention features a pusher on the magnetic positioning base, allowing the user to easily operate the force application end when they want to remove the external mobile device from the base. This pusher end protrudes from the base surface to push the external mobile device, creating a gap or misalignment between the back of the external mobile device and the base to reduce the magnetic force and make it easier for the user to pick it up.

[0019] Therefore, even if a magnetic module with a large magnetic attraction force is used in the base, the mobile device can be stably attracted when a protective shell is set on the outside or when it is installed in a vehicle space. Furthermore, through the setting of the pusher, the user can still take the external mobile device with less effort and more convenience, avoiding the problem of changing the setting angle of the positioning seat or the displacement of the entire support frame when taking the mobile device.

[0020] Based on the technical means of this invention, the following are examples of implementation methods suitable for this invention, and are illustrated with diagrams:

Implementation Method

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, this invention, as a magnetic positioning base for facilitating user access to a mobile device 100, includes a base 10 and a pusher 20 disposed on the base 10. The front of the base 10 is a magnetic surface 11 for the back of an external mobile device 100 to be stacked and positioned. The back of the base 10 is a mating surface 12, which allows an external support frame 30 to be assembled. In practice, the external support frame 30 can be a suction cup type support frame, an adhesive type support frame, a counterweight support frame, or an air vent clamp, etc., allowing the external mobile device 100 to be positioned in various environments. In the figures, the external support frame 30 is an example of an air vent clamp.

[0022] The pusher 20 has a force-applying end 21 exposed outside the base 10 and a push end 22 connected with the force-applying end 21. The push end 22 can be driven by the force-applying end 21 to movably protrude from the surface of the base 10.

[0023] When the back of the mobile device 100 is magnetically positioned on the magnetic surface 11, the user can apply force to the force-applying end 21 of the pusher 20, causing the pushing end 22 to protrude from the surface of the base 10, thereby directly or indirectly pushing the external mobile device 100, so that a gap or misalignment is created between the back of the external mobile device 100 and the magnetic surface 11 of the base 10 to reduce the magnetic force, so as to facilitate the user to remove the mobile device from the base 10.

[0024] Therefore, even if a magnetic module with a large magnetic attraction force is used in the base 10, the mobile device can be stably attracted when a protective shell is set on the outside or when it is installed in a vehicle space. Furthermore, through the setting of the pusher 20, the user can still take the external mobile device with less effort and more convenience, avoiding the problem of changing the setting angle of the positioning seat or the displacement of the entire support frame when taking the mobile device.

[0025] The pusher 20 has multiple embodiments. The first to third figures are the first embodiment of the pusher 20, and the fourth to sixth figures are the second embodiment of the pusher 20. The embodiments are described in detail below.

[0026] As shown in the first to third figures, the force-applying end 21 and the pushing end 22 of the pusher 20 are integrally formed, and a fulcrum 23 pivotally connected to the base 10 is provided between the force-applying end 21 and the pushing end 22, which is in the shape of a rocker, so that the force-applying end 21 and the pushing end 22 can be relatively displaced by lever through the fulcrum 23.

[0027] As shown in the figure, the base 10 has a groove 13 at its top end. The pusher 20 is pivotally connected in the groove 13 so that the push end 22 is flush with or lower than the magnetic surface 11, so as to avoid affecting the magnetic attraction effect of the external moving device 100 being attracted to the magnetic surface 11.

[0028] When the force-applying end 21 is implemented, it protrudes from the rear of the top of the base 10 and has a relatively long force-applying arm, which makes it convenient for the user to apply force and press down. The force-applying end 21 and the pushing end 22 can match the surface contour of the base 10 and have an angle with a fixed angle.

[0029] When the user presses down on the force-applying end 21, the pushing end 22 is displaced relative to the fulcrum 23 and protrudes from the surface of the base 10, directly pushing the external moving device 100. This creates a gap between the back of the external moving device 100 and the magnetic surface 11 of the base 10 to reduce the magnetic force, making it easier for the user to remove the moving device from the base 10. It also avoids changing the setting angle of the positioning seat or the displacement of the entire support frame.

[0030] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, this is a second embodiment of the pusher 20. The force-applying end 21 of the pusher 20 is a button 24 protruding outside the base 10. The inner side of the button 24 is located inside the base 10 and has a slanted push portion 25. The pushing end 22 is a push rod 26 that can movably protrude from the surface of the base 10. The inner side of the push rod 26 has a force-receiving portion 27 that receives the push from the slanted push portion 25. In implementation, the push rod 26 can be set inside the base 10 and flush with or lower than the magnetic surface 11 to avoid affecting the magnetic attraction effect of the external moving device 100 being attracted to the magnetic surface 11.

[0031] The button 24 protrudes from the top of the base 10, making it convenient for the user to apply force and press down; when the user presses down the force application end 21, the inclined push part 25 pushes against the force receiving part 27 of the push rod 26, causing the push rod 26 to move and protrude from the surface of the base 10 to directly push the external moving device 100, so that a gap is created between the back of the external moving device 100 and the magnetic surface 11 of the base 10 to reduce the magnetic attraction force, making it convenient for the user to remove the moving device from the base 10, and also avoiding the problem of changing the setting angle of the positioning seat or the displacement of the entire support frame.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the force-applying end 21 of the pusher 20 can be located on the top of the base 10 or on both sides of the base 10 to conform to the user's gripping posture, thereby facilitating the application of force to the force-applying end. Furthermore, a wired or wireless charging module 14 is further provided on the base 10, so that after the external mobile device 100 is magnetically positioned, it can receive charging from the wired or wireless charging module 14.
