Detailed Implementation Methods

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] During their research, the inventors of this application discovered that existing phone stands rely on manual user operation to control their unfolding and folding, resulting in cumbersome use and low automation. On the other hand, with continuous technological advancements, wireless charging has become a standard feature of smartphone accessories. Users not only expect wireless chargers to provide basic charging functionality but also desire greater convenience and a more customized experience during charging. For example, users might want to adjust the phone's angle for easier video viewing while charging, or require the phone to automatically switch between landscape and portrait modes based on application requirements.

[0047] While wireless chargers in related technologies can achieve stable charging of mobile phones through magnetic attraction, they still do not fully consider the personalized needs of users regarding the angle and orientation of the phone during charging. Wireless charging solutions in related technologies have limitations in improving the user charging experience, especially in supporting multi-angle phone display and automatic screen orientation switching. To improve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application can provide the following embodiments.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, this application provides a support 1. The support 1 includes a base 20, a connecting rod 30, and a load-bearing module 40. One end of the connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the base 20 about a first axis S1. The other end of the connecting rod 30 is rotatably connected to the load-bearing module 40 about a second axis S2. It should be noted that Figure 1 illustrates the rotation axes, and since the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 in the schematic diagram are perpendicular to the plane of the figure, they are indicated by dots.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 4, the bracket 1 includes a first driving device 101 and a second driving device 102. The first driving device 101 is used to drive the connecting rod 30 to rotate relative to the base 100, and the second driving device 102 is used to drive the bearing module 40 to rotate relative to the connecting rod 30.

[0050] Referring to Figures 12 to 14, the load-bearing module 40 includes a first housing 41 and a second housing 42. The first housing 41 and the second housing 42 are rotatably connected about a third axis S3, and the second housing 42 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 30. The bracket 1 includes a third driving device 103, which is used to drive the first housing 41 to rotate relative to the second housing 42.

[0051] Furthermore, the terminal 2 can be mounted in the first housing 41. The first housing 41 and the second housing 42 supporting the module 40 can rotate, enabling the terminal 2 to rotate and further expanding the applicable application scenarios of the bracket 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the base 100 includes an upper shell 20 and a lower shell 10, with the upper shell 20 disposed on the lower shell 10 and rotatably connected to the lower shell 10 about a fourth axis S4. The bracket also includes a fourth driving device 104, which drives the upper shell 20 to rotate relative to the lower shell 10. The rotation axis of the fourth driving device 104 is perpendicular to the placement plane of the bracket 1.

[0053] In summary, by rotatably connecting the upper shell 20 to the lower shell 10, the upper shell 20 can rotate to different angles relative to the lower shell 10. Similarly, by rotatably connecting the connecting rod 30 to the upper shell 20, the connecting rod 30 can rotate to different angles relative to the upper shell 20. Furthermore, by rotatably connecting the load-bearing module 40 to the connecting rod 30, the load-bearing module 40 can rotate to different angles relative to the connecting rod 30. In conclusion, by rotating the various components relative to each other, and by setting the angle between the fourth axis S4 and the first axis S1, and the angle between the second axis S2 and the third axis S3, the load-bearing module 40 can be positioned at different angles relative to the lower shell 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, the fourth axis S4 is perpendicular to the first axis S1, and the second axis S2 is perpendicular to the third axis S3. Further, in some embodiments, the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 are perpendicular to each other.

[0055] The carrier module 40 carries smart terminals such as mobile phones or tablets. Through the aforementioned methods, the carrier module 40 can support and maintain the terminal 2 at different angles, thereby adapting to the user's needs in different scenarios.

[0056] The relative rotation between the various components can be automatically achieved by the first drive device 101, the second drive device 102, the third drive device 103, and the fourth drive device 104, thereby enabling the automatic folding and unfolding of the bracket 1. Furthermore, the automatic rotation of the terminal 2 can be achieved by driving the rotation of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42, so as to realize the purpose of switching between landscape and portrait modes of the terminal 2.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 are set at an angle, or the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 are set parallel to each other. Referring to Figure 1, in some cases, the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 can be set parallel to each other. In this way, the drive devices at both ends of the connecting rod 30 can control the pitch of the bearing module 40. At the same time, this rotational layout can also simplify the control logic and facilitate the implementation of automatic folding and unfolding.

[0058] In other cases, the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 can be set at an angle, which allows for diverse changes in the posture of the load-bearing module 40, and enables more diverse folding schemes between the load-bearing module 40, the connecting rod 30, and the base 20, making folding easier.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 9, the bracket 1 further includes a control board 22 and a battery 23. A fourth drive device 104, control board 22, and battery 23 are disposed within the upper housing 20. The drive shaft of the fourth drive device 104 is tractively connected to the lower housing 10. The control board 22 is electrically connected to the battery 23, the fourth drive device 104, the first drive device 101, the second drive device 102, and the third drive device 103. The control board 22 is used to receive and process signals, thereby managing the operation of various components of the bracket 1. The battery 23 can power the various drive devices of the bracket 1 and provide power for the wireless charging of the bracket 1. Optionally, the fourth drive device 104 can also be disposed in the lower housing 10, with its drive shaft tractively connected to the upper housing 20.

[0060] In some embodiments, the fourth drive device 104 is disposed between the control board 22 and the battery 23. This allows the fourth drive device 104 to be positioned centrally within the upper housing 20, thereby reducing the eccentric rotation of the upper housing 20 relative to the lower housing 10, optimizing the layout of components within the upper housing 20, and improving space utilization. Specifically, the arrangement direction of the battery 23 is parallel to the rotation axis direction of the fourth drive device 104, and the plane containing the control board 22 is parallel to the rotation axis direction of the fourth drive device 104. This allows the control board 22 to be vertically positioned within the upper housing 20, freeing up space for the installation of the battery 23 and the fourth drive device 104, and reducing interference between the rotation of the control board 22 and the fourth drive device 104.

[0061] In some other embodiments, referring to FIG4, the fourth drive device 104 includes a stator 1041 and a rotor 1042. The stator 1041 and the rotor 1042 are disposed inside the upper housing 20 on the side away from the connecting rod 30. The lower housing 10 extends into the upper housing 20 with a drive shaft 11. The stator 1041 is mounted on the drive shaft 11, and the rotor 1042 is mounted on the upper housing 20. The rotor 1042 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the stator 1041.

[0062] The stator 1041 can be either a magnetic element or a coil, and the rotor 1042 can be either a magnetic element or a coil. The coil is electrically connected to the control board 22.

[0063] Unlike directly placing the finished motor inside the upper housing 20, by placing the stator 1041 inside the upper housing 20 and having the rotor 1042 cooperate with it, the use of parts such as the motor housing of the finished motor can be reduced, that is, the use of unnecessary parts can be reduced, and the utilization rate of the space inside the upper housing 20 can be improved.

[0064] In some embodiments, referring to FIG9, a support 27 is further provided inside the upper shell 20. The support 27 is fixedly connected to the upper shell 20. The support 27 includes an insertion part 271 and a mounting part 272. The insertion part 271 is provided with an insertion slot, and the control plate 22 is inserted into the insertion slot. The bracket 1 is also provided with an adjustment component 26, which is located at the end of the control plate 22 near the connecting rod 30. The camera 24 can be mounted on the mounting part 272.

[0065] In some embodiments, the control board 22 includes a charging control board 222 and a bracket control board 221. The charging control board 222 is electrically connected to the battery 23 and is used for input / output management of the battery 23. The bracket control board 221 is connected to the fourth drive device 104, the first drive device 101, the second drive device 102, and the third drive device 103. The bracket control board 221 is used to collect and process various signals to issue commands to control the rotation of each drive device.

[0066] Optionally, referring to Figures 5 to 8, the upper shell 20 is provided with a charging structure 203 connected to the control board 22, and the upper shell 20 can be connected to an external power source through the charging structure 203. The specifications of the charging structure 203 can be Type-A, Type-B, Type-C, or Lightning, etc., and are not specifically limited here. When the bracket 1 has a battery 23, the charging structure 203 can be used to charge the battery 23. When the bracket does not have a battery 23, the charging structure 203 can be connected to an external power source to power the bracket 1.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 5 and Figure 9, the upper shell 20 may also be provided with an adjustment component 26. The adjustment component 26 may be provided on the upper surface of the upper shell 20 or on the periphery of the upper shell 20, without specific limitation. The adjustment component 26 may be a knob or a button. The adjustment component 26 is electrically connected to the control board 22, so that the user can control the opening and closing or rotation of the bracket 1 through the adjustment component 26. Optionally, the adjustment component 26 is electrically connected to the bracket control board 221.

[0068] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 9, the upper shell 20 includes an upper shell 201 and a bottom shell 202, which enclose an installation space. The installation space is used to install the aforementioned control board 22, battery 23, and fourth drive device 104, etc. After the control board 22, battery 23, and fourth drive device 104 are installed into the installation space, the bottom shell 202 can close the installation space.

[0069] In some embodiments, a counterweight space is provided between the lower shell 10 and the upper shell 20. A counterweight block 50 is provided within the counterweight space. In this way, the center of gravity of the entire support 1 can be lowered, thereby increasing the stability of the support 1.

[0070] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the length of the connecting rod 30 is no greater than the longest length of the upper shell 20 perpendicular to the fourth axis S4 (the fourth axis S4 in Figure 1 refers to the vertical direction in the figure). The bracket 1 provided in this application embodiment can automatically unfold and fold. The lower shell 10 is used to place on a flat surface such as a desktop, and the interior of the upper shell 20 can be used to house the aforementioned battery 23, control board 22, etc. As the parts placed on the desktop, the upper shell 20 and lower shell 10 can have a larger volume and weight compared to the connecting rod 30 and the load-bearing module 40, thereby improving the stability of the bracket 1. Furthermore, when the connecting rod 30 and the load-bearing module 40 are in the folded state, in order to save space when folded, the length of the connecting rod 30 can be set to be no greater than the longest length of the upper shell 20 perpendicular to the fourth axis S4, thereby enabling folding as shown in Figures 2 and 6.

[0071] In some embodiments, referring to FIG10, the connecting rod 30 includes two opposing support portions 31 and a reinforcing portion 32 disposed between the two support portions 31. The two support portions 31 can be used to transmit the mechanical support force between the load-bearing module 40 and the upper shell 20, and the reinforcing portion 32 can be used to increase the mechanical strength of the connecting rod 30. In the length direction of the connecting rod 30, the length of the reinforcing portion 32 is less than the length of the support portion 31, thereby forming a hinge space 33 between the support portions 31 at both ends of the connecting rod 30. The hinge space 33 is used to accommodate the first driving device 101 and the second driving device 102. The connecting rod 30 can accommodate the first driving device 101 and the second driving device 102 while transmitting the support force. The space occupied by the first driving device 101 and the second driving device 102 is shared with the space occupied by the connecting rod 30, thereby saving the space occupied by the bracket 1 and facilitating the folding of the bracket 1.

[0072] In some embodiments, the base 100 has a first hinge portion 21, and the second housing 42 has a second hinge portion 421. Optionally, the upper housing 20 has a first hinge portion 21. The first hinge portion 21 is fitted around the outer periphery of the first driving device 101, and the second hinge portion 421 is fitted around the outer periphery of the second driving device 102. The drive shafts of the first driving device 101 and the third driving device 103 are respectively connected to the support portion 31.

[0073] With the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 arranged in parallel, the first axis S1 and the second axis S2 being perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting rod 30 allows for a sufficient distance between the first axis S1 and the second axis S2, thereby enabling the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102 to more flexibly control the pitch of the bearing module 40 and the folding of the bracket 1.

[0074] Based on this, the drive shaft between the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102 can be directly connected to the support part 31, and the first hinge part 21 and the second hinge part 421 can be directly sleeved on the outer periphery of the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102, respectively. Sleeving the first hinge part 21 and the second hinge part 421 on the outer periphery of the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102 is a more space-saving approach. If the first hinge part 21 and the second hinge part 421 are connected to the drive shaft between the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102, the drive shaft would need to extend additionally from the connecting rod 30, or be implemented through a complex transmission structure, resulting in additional space occupation and making it inconvenient for the bracket to fold.

[0075] In some embodiments, the bracket 1 includes a communication component (not shown), which is disposed between the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 and / or on the base 100. For example, it may be disposed on the upper housing 20 or the lower housing 10. The communication component is used for communication connection with the terminal 2. The communication component may be disposed in the carrier module 40 and connect to the terminal 2 via, for example, near field communication (NFC). The communication component may also be disposed within the upper housing 20 and connect to the terminal 2 via, for example, Bluetooth. The communication component can obtain information from the terminal 2, thereby obtaining a basis for the control strategy of the control board 22.

[0076] For example, the communication component can acquire information from the camera of terminal 2 to identify and capture the user, thereby enabling the control board 22 to control the movement of various drive devices so that terminal 2 is always pointed at the user. Alternatively, the communication component can acquire information from the camera of terminal 2 to capture the user's gestures, thereby obtaining the user's commands and controlling the screen orientation of terminal 2.

[0077] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 and 9, the bracket 1 further includes a camera 24 disposed within the upper housing 20. The camera 24 is capable of viewing the outside of the upper housing 20. The control board 22 is communicatively connected to the camera 24. The camera 24 is capable of capturing the user's position information or gesture information, thereby controlling the rotation of the bracket 1 based on this information.

[0078] Referring to Figures 11 to 14, the following is an exemplary description of a specific implementation of the carrier module 40 of this application.

[0079] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 30 can be detachably connected to the support module 40, which can be easily stored after disassembly. A first electrical contact (not shown) is provided on the second housing 42, and the wireless charging component 45 is electrically connected to the first electrical contact. The connecting rod 30 is provided with a second electrical contact (not shown) corresponding to the first electrical contact. When the connecting rod 30 and the second housing 42 are connected, the first electrical contact abuts against the second electrical contact, so that the wireless charging component 45 is connected to a power source through the connecting rod 30.

[0080] Referring to Figures 9 and 8, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of terminal 2 in a vertical position, and Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of terminal 2 in a horizontal position. The support module 40 can support terminal 2. Terminal 2 can be a smartphone or tablet, etc., without specific limitations. Terminal 2 can be placed on the first housing 41 of the support module 40 and fixedly positioned relative to the first housing 41. The third driving device 103 drives the relative rotation of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42, causing terminal 2 to rotate, thus enabling horizontal or vertical screen display. A wireless charging component 45 can wirelessly charge terminal 2. Through the above methods, terminal 2 can rotate on the stand 1 while being charged, adapting to different usage scenarios and meeting the user's control needs.

[0081] In some embodiments, the load-bearing module 40 is movably connected to the connecting rod 30. The load-bearing module 40 can be rotatably connected to the connecting rod 30, and the rotation of the load-bearing module 40 and the connecting rod 30 can be achieved manually by the user or automatically by the third drive device 103.

[0082] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 11 and 13, the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 enclose a receiving space, and the wireless charging component 45 is located within the receiving space. A charging area corresponding to the wireless charging component 45 is formed on the side of the first housing 41 opposite to the receiving space. In this way, the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 can protect and shield the wireless charging component 45, which helps to improve the structural stability of the supporting module 40.

[0083] The carrier module 40 also includes a middle frame 43, which is disposed between the first housing 41 and the second housing 42. A wireless charging assembly 45 is disposed between the middle frame 43 and the first housing 41, and a third driving device 103 is disposed between the middle frame 43 and the second housing 42. The middle frame 43 can separate the receiving space between the first housing 41 and the second housing 42, thereby forming a space for installing the wireless charging assembly 45 and a space for installing the third driving device 103. This arrangement can isolate the wireless charging assembly 45 and the third driving device 103, thereby reducing mutual interference between the wireless charging assembly 45 and the third driving device 103 during operation.

[0084] In some embodiments, referring to FIG13, the first housing 41 has a cylindrical extension extending from its edge toward the second housing 42, and the cylindrical extension is fitted with the middle frame 43. In this way, the gap between the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 is away from the first housing 41, which makes the supporting module 40 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0085] In some embodiments, the middle frame 43 is rotatably engaged with the second housing 42, and the wireless charging assembly 45 is fixed relative to the first housing 41.

[0086] Specifically, in some embodiments, the wireless charging component 45 is installed between the middle frame 43 and the first housing 41, with the middle frame 43 and the first housing 41 relatively fixed, and the wireless charging component 45 and the first housing 41 relatively fixed. In other words, the middle frame 43, the first housing 41, and the wireless charging component 45 can rotate together as a whole relative to the second housing 42. In the support module 40 configured in the above manner, the boundaries between the two relatively rotating parts are clear, and its relative rotation structure is relatively simple, which is beneficial to reducing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the mutual interference between the two relatively rotating parts is smaller, which can reduce the interference generated during rotation. Specifically, the support module 40 configured in the above manner can be divided by the drive module and the middle frame 43, with one side being the second housing 42 that is stationary relative to the connecting rod 30, and the other side being the middle frame 43, the first housing 41, and the wireless charging component 45 that rotate relative to the connecting rod 30.

[0087] Based on this, in one embodiment, referring to FIG13, the first housing 41 can be mounted on the middle frame 43, the middle frame 43 is rotatably connected to the second housing 42, and the middle frame 43 is supported on the second housing 42 by a hinge 25. The hinge 25 can be, for example, a rotary bearing; in other embodiments, the hinge 25 can be a roller. The hinge 25 can reduce the friction between the middle frame 43 and the second housing 42. In this way, the entire assembly consisting of the middle frame 43, the first housing 41, and the wireless charging component 45 and the second housing 42 can be rotatably connected by the hinge 25. The parts where relative rotation needs to avoid interference are only present in the portion of the second housing 42 close to the middle frame 43 and in the portion of the third drive device 103.

[0088] Based on the above embodiments, since the wireless charging component 45 requires a lead wire to connect to the power source, rotation may cause the lead wire to become tangled. To improve this situation, the second housing 42 can be provided with a limiting device, which can limit the rotation angle of the middle frame 43, the first housing 41, and the wireless charging component 45. In this way, the rotation angle of the middle frame 43, the first housing 41, and the wireless charging component 45 can be prevented from being too large while still satisfying the aforementioned requirement of being able to switch between landscape and portrait display of the terminal 2, thus avoiding the possibility of the lead wire breaking. For example, the limiting device can limit the rotation of the middle frame 43, the first housing 41, and the wireless charging component 45 to more than 360°, thereby keeping the number of possible rotations of the lead wire within one revolution, greatly reducing the possibility of failure caused by the rotation of the lead wire.

[0089] Specifically, in some embodiments, one of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 is provided with a first limiting part (not shown), and the other of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 is provided with a second limiting part (not shown). The first limiting part can move along the circumference of the second housing 42 on both sides of the second limiting part. After the first limiting part and the second limiting part abut against each other, the relative rotation of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 can be restricted.

[0090] This configuration limits the relative rotation angle between the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 to a certain range, thereby reducing the torsional, tensile, and compressive forces on the leads connected to the wireless charging component 45 and lowering the risk of lead damage. For example, the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 have an initial relative position. The rotation direction of the first housing 41 relative to the second housing 42 includes clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. In the initial relative position, the first limiting part and the second limiting part are positioned relative to each other around the axis of rotation of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42. When the first housing 41 rotates clockwise relative to the second housing 42 by a specific angle (determined by the size of the first and second limiting parts), the first limiting part can abut against one side of the second limiting part and cannot continue to rotate. When the first housing 41 rotates counterclockwise relative to the second housing 42 by a specific angle, the first limiting part can abut against the other side of the second limiting part and cannot continue to rotate. Therefore, the torsional, tensile, and compressive forces on the leads are limited. Optionally, the first limiting part and the second limiting part may each have protrusions formed on the first housing 41 and the second housing 42.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 may not have limiting parts, and the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 may rotate relative to each other one or more times. In some embodiments, the first housing 41 and the second housing 42 may be rotatably connected by threads, and the ends of the threaded segments may naturally serve as limits for rotation.

[0092] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 13 and 14, the third drive device 103 includes a stator 1031 and a rotor 1032. The stator 1031 is fixed to the second housing 42, and the rotor 1032 is mounted on the middle frame 43. This differs from directly placing the finished motor inside the support module 40. By placing the stator 1031 in the second housing 42 and the rotor 1032 in the middle frame 43, the use of parts such as the motor drive shaft or motor housing can be reduced, that is, the use of unnecessary parts can be reduced, and the utilization rate of space within the support module 40 can be improved.

[0093] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 13 and 14, a drive shaft 431 is provided extending from the middle frame 43 toward the second housing 42. The aforementioned rotor 1032 is mounted on the drive shaft 431, and the stator 1031 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotor 1032. The second housing 42 forms a rotating shaft 422, and the drive shaft 431 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 422. The drive shaft 431 and the rotating shaft 422 are rotatably connected by a hinge 25.

[0094] In other embodiments, the middle frame 43 is rotatably engaged with the second housing 42, and the wireless charging component 45 can be fixedly disposed relative to the second housing 42.

[0095] The wireless charging component 45 is installed between the middle frame 43 and the first housing 41. The middle frame 43 and the first housing 41 are relatively fixed, and the wireless charging component 45 is relatively fixed to the second housing 42.

[0096] Specifically, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 11 and 12, the wireless charging component 45 is supported on the second housing 42. The wireless charging component 45 includes a mounting bracket 46, which is mounted on the second housing 42. The mounting bracket 46 can accommodate and support the circuit board and coil in the wireless charging component 45. The middle frame 43 can be rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 46 or the second housing 42 via a hinge 25. The third drive device 103 is fixedly mounted on the second housing 42 and is used to drive the first housing 41 and the middle frame 43 to rotate relative to the wireless charging component 45 and the second housing 42. When the wireless charging component 45 is fixed relative to the second housing 42, the leads of the wireless charging component 45 will not rotate during use, thereby improving the technical problem of lead breakage. In this way, the first housing 41 and the middle frame 43 can achieve stepless rotation relative to the second housing 42 without worrying about lead rotation.

[0097] In other embodiments, the middle frame 43 is fixed relative to the second housing 42, the first housing 41 is rotatably engaged with the middle frame 43, the wireless charging component 45 is disposed between the middle frame 43 and the first housing 41, and the third driving device 103 is disposed between the middle frame 43 and the second housing 42. The wireless charging component 45 can be fixed relative to the first housing 41 or relative to the second housing 42.

[0098] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 12 and 14, the carrier module 40 further includes a magnetic attraction component 44 surrounding the wireless charging component 45, with the wireless charging component 45 and the magnetic attraction component 44 being independent of each other. In other words, there is a gap between the wireless charging component 45 and the magnetic attraction component 44, meaning that the wireless charging component 45 and the magnetic attraction component 44 do not contact each other, thus reducing the resistance of the wireless charging component 45 to the rotation of the magnetic attraction component 44. The wireless charging component 45 generates an alternating magnetic field, which cooperates with the coil inside the terminal 2 to perform charging. The magnetic attraction component 44 generates a constant magnetic field, thereby attracting the terminal 2 to the first housing 41.

[0099] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG12, the magnetic assembly 44 includes multiple magnets arranged circumferentially. Further, the multiple magnets are joined to form a ring structure with a break, which facilitates installation and conforms to installation specifications. Optionally, the magnetic assembly 44 is circumferentially disposed around the outer periphery of the wireless charging assembly 45.

[0100] In some embodiments, one of the magnetic attraction component 44 and the wireless charging component 45 is fixed relative to the first housing 41, and the other of the magnetic attraction component 44 and the wireless charging component 45 is fixed relative to the second housing 42. For example, the magnetic attraction component 44 may be fixed relative to the first housing 41, while the wireless charging component 45 may be fixed relative to the second housing 42. The magnetic attraction component 44 may be a permanent magnet, as it is used to generate a constant geomagnetic field.

[0101] The magnetic attraction component 44 has a simple structure and generally does not require additional leads. In this case, the magnetic attraction component 44 can be easily fixed to the first housing 41. Furthermore, during the adsorption process of the terminal 2, the relative positions of the magnetic attraction component 44 and the terminal 2 are relatively small, which is beneficial to the stability of the adsorption of the magnetic attraction component 44.

[0102] The wireless charging component 45 has a complex structure due to the need to generate an alternating magnetic field for charging, and it requires a lead wire to connect to the power source. The lead wire passes through the second housing 42 and extends to connect with the wireless charging component 45. By connecting the wireless charging component 45 to the second housing 42, the wireless charging component 45 and the second housing 42 can remain relatively fixed, which helps to reduce the torsion, tension, and compression effects on the lead wire and reduces the risk of lead wire damage.

[0103] In some embodiments, the carrier module 40 includes at least two conductive contacts and at least two conductive portions that respectively abut against each other. The two conductive contacts are fixedly disposed relative to one of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42, and the two conductive portions are fixedly disposed relative to the other of the first housing 41 and the second housing 42. In other words, the conductive contacts and conductive portions can be rotatably disposed relative to each other. The wireless charging assembly 45 is connected to a power source through the two conductive contacts and the two conductive portions. The two conductive contacts and the two conductive portions can be used to connect to the positive and negative terminals of the power source, respectively.

[0104] Specifically, the carrier module 40 includes conductive contacts and conductive parts that abut against each other and can slide relative to each other. The conductive contacts are fixedly disposed relative to the first housing 41 and electrically connected to the wireless charging component 45. The conductive parts are fixedly disposed relative to the second housing 42 and electrically connected to a power source via leads, so that the wireless charging component 45 is electrically connected to the power source through the conductive contacts and conductive parts. Alternatively, the conductive parts are fixedly disposed relative to the first housing 41 and electrically connected to the wireless charging component 45, and the conductive contacts are fixedly disposed relative to the second housing 42 and electrically connected to the power source via leads, so that the wireless charging component 45 is electrically connected to the power source through the conductive contacts and conductive parts. The conductive contacts can move relative to the conductive parts and can maintain electrical connection with the conductive parts. Through the above method, the wireless charging component 45 can maintain electrical connection through the conductive contacts and conductive parts during rotation relative to the second housing 42, and the rotation of the wireless charging component 45 is not restricted. Optionally, the conductive contacts can be spring-loaded connectors. Optionally, the conductive parts are metal foils, such as copper foil, aluminum foil, etc. The conductive contacts are spring-loaded.

[0105] In some embodiments, one of the conductive parts is annular, and the other can be either annular or circular. During the rotation of the wireless charging assembly 45 relative to the second housing 42, the conductive contacts can slide circumferentially along the conductive parts and maintain electrical connection during the process. This ensures that the rotation of the wireless module is not restricted by the leads, avoiding the need to consider the problem of lead twisting.

[0106] In some embodiments, the middle frame 43 is fixedly disposed relative to the second housing 42, and one of the conductive contacts or conductive parts may be disposed on the middle frame 43, or be a part of the middle frame 43.

[0107] In some embodiments, the middle frame 43 is fixedly disposed relative to the second housing 42, and the aforementioned conductive portions are provided on both sides of the middle frame 43. Specifically, the conductive portion of the middle frame 43 facing the first housing 41 is used to maintain an electrical connection with the wireless charging assembly 45, while the conductive portion facing the second housing 42 is used to maintain an electrical connection with the rotor 1032 when the stator 1031 is a magnet and the rotor 1032 is a coil.

[0108] In other embodiments, the magnetic attachment component 44 may be fixed relative to the second housing 42, while the wireless charging component 45 may be fixed relative to the first housing 41.

[0109] In some embodiments, the carrier module 40 further includes a positioning detection device (not shown), which detects whether the terminal 2 is placed on the carrier module 40. The positioning detection device can be a Hall effect sensor or a mechanical detection device triggered by pressure from the terminal 2; no specific limitation is made here. When the positioning detection device detects that the terminal 2 is installed, the control board 22 receives a signal to control the wireless charging assembly 45 to charge and to control the bracket 1 to unfold. After the terminal 2 is removed from the carrier module 40, the positioning detection device detects the removal of the terminal 2, thereby enabling the control board 22 to receive a signal to control the shutdown of the wireless charging assembly 45 and to control the bracket 1 to fold.

[0110] Referring to Figures 15 and 16, the control method of the bracket 1 of this application will be described exemplarily below.

[0111] This application provides a method for controlling a support 1. The method uses the aforementioned support 1. The method includes:

[0112] S10: When it is detected that the terminal 2 is placed on the bracket 1, control the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102 to unfold the bracket 1.

[0113] Users can choose to place terminal 2 on the support module 40 for charging when using bracket 1. After terminal 2 is placed, the detection module will be triggered, so that bracket 1 can detect that terminal 2 is in place.

[0114] With the terminal 2 in place, the stand 1 can choose to control the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102 to unfold the stand 1. The stand 1 can also choose to control the wireless charging component 45 to charge the terminal 2, and can control the third drive device 103 to rotate the first housing 41, and control the fourth drive device 104 to rotate, so as to maintain or change the posture of the terminal 2.

[0115] After terminal 2 is placed in position, the upper shell 20 can be rotated relative to the lower shell 10 by the fourth drive device 104, so that terminal 2 can be rotated to a position facing the user. The first drive device 101 can drive the connecting rod 30 to unfold, so that the supporting module 40 can be positioned at a certain height. The second drive device 102 can drive the pitch of the supporting module 40, so that terminal 2 can face the user.

[0116] After confirming that terminal 2 is in the first state, and before receiving a state switching signal, the second drive device 102 and the third drive device 103 are in the activated state, thereby maintaining terminal 2 in the first state to meet the user's usage needs. The second drive device 102 controls the tilt of terminal 2, and the third drive device 103 controls the screen rotation of terminal 2.

[0117] When a state switching command is received from the adjustment component 26 of the terminal 2 or the bracket 1, in response to the state switching command, any one or more of the first drive device 101, the second drive device 102, the third drive device 103 and the fourth drive device 104 are controlled to work to adjust the support angle of the terminal 2.

[0118] Specifically, the first drive device 101 can maintain the support 1 in the deployed state. The state switching command can be a signal to control the pitch of the control terminal 2. After receiving the state switching command, the second drive device 102 can drive the support module 40 to rotate relative to each other, thereby controlling the pitch of the terminal 2 to meet the user's usage needs.

[0119] In some embodiments, the support module 40 of the bracket 1 further includes a third driving device 103, which is used to drive the first housing 41 to rotate relative to the second housing 42.

[0120] When it is detected that the terminal 2 is placed on the bracket 1 and a state switching command is received from the adjustment component 26 of the terminal 2 or the bracket 1, in response to the state switching command, the third drive device 103 is controlled to drive the bracket to rotate so that the terminal 2 switches from the first state to the second state.

[0121] The user can switch terminal 2 from a first state to a second state, for example, switching terminal 2 from portrait mode to landscape mode, or vice versa. The user can also adjust the tilt of terminal 2 to suit their needs. The state switching command can be a signal issued by the user through the adjustment component 26, a signal issued by the user through the software control of terminal 2, or a signal issued by the sensor or user identification device of terminal 2 or charging stand.

[0122] If a state switching command is received, the first housing 41 is controlled by the third drive device 103 to adjust the terminal 2 to the second state, and / or the carrier module 40 is controlled by the second drive device 102 to adjust the terminal 2 to the corresponding state. The second drive device 102 can assist in controlling the pitch of the terminal 2.

[0123] The state switching command can be a signal that controls the switching between portrait and landscape modes for terminal 2. Upon receiving the state switching command, the third drive device 103 can drive the first housing 41 to rotate, thereby controlling terminal 2 to rotate to the second state to meet the user's needs. For example, terminal 2 can switch from portrait mode to landscape mode. The first housing 41 can switch the posture of terminal 2 by rotating by a fixed angle, such as degrees.

[0124] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the upper shell 20 and lower shell 10 of the base 100 are rotatably connected. When it is detected that the terminal 2 is placed on the bracket 1 and a state switching command for the terminal 2 is received, in response to the state switching command, the fourth drive device 104 is controlled to drive the base 20 to rotate to adjust the orientation of the terminal 2 in real time.

[0125] The upper shell 20 can drive the connecting rod 30 and the load-bearing module 40 to rotate, thereby causing the load-bearing module 40 to face different directions. In scenarios where it is necessary to change the front or rear camera of the terminal 2, the orientation of the terminal 2 needs to be changed. Upon receiving the corresponding state switching command, the fourth drive device 104 can be controlled to drive the upper shell 20 to rotate in real time to adjust the orientation of the terminal 2.

[0126] It should be noted that the aforementioned state switching instructions can be control information and sensor control information from the terminal 2 application, or control information from the adjustment component 26 or recognition information from the camera 24. The state switching instructions can include control information for any one or a combination of several of the first driving device 101, the second driving device 102, the third driving device 103, and the fourth driving device 104.

[0127] S20: When it is detected that the terminal 2 is no longer placed on the bracket 1, the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102 are controlled to fold the bracket 1.

[0128] After the user removes the terminal 2, the bracket 1 can control the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102, and further control the third drive device 103 and the fourth drive device to work, thereby folding the bracket 1.

[0129] The control method for bracket 1 can also be referred to the following embodiments.

[0130] S100: Detect whether terminal 2 is in place.

[0131] Users can choose to place terminal 2 on the support module 40 for charging when using bracket 1. After terminal 2 is placed, the detection module will be triggered, allowing the charging bracket to detect that terminal 2 has been placed in place.

[0132] If terminal 2 is not placed in the correct position, the charging stand will not be woken up and will remain in the off state.

[0133] S200: If terminal 2 is detected to be in place, then the bracket 1 is woken up;

[0134] With terminal 2 in place, the charging stand can control the fourth drive device 104, the first drive device 101, and the second drive device 102 to unfold the stand 1. The stand 1 can also control the wireless charging component 45 to charge terminal 2, and can control the third drive device 103 to rotate the first housing 41 to maintain or change the posture of terminal 2.

[0135] S250: The bracket 1 establishes a communication connection with the terminal 2 to obtain the status information of the terminal 2.

[0136] Once terminal 2 is in place, the charging stand can communicate with it. Terminal 2 has sensors such as camera 24 and gyroscope, and the charging stand can acquire the status information from these sensors. The charging stand can then determine its control strategy based on the acquired status information.

[0137] S300: The connecting rod 30 is kept in the extended state by the fourth drive device 104, the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102.

[0138] After terminal 2 is placed in position, the upper shell 20 can be rotated relative to the lower shell 10 by the fourth drive device 104, so that terminal 2 can be rotated to a position facing the user. The first drive device 101 can drive the connecting rod 30 to unfold, so that the supporting module 40 can be positioned at a certain height. The second drive device 102 can drive the pitch of the supporting module 40, so that terminal 2 can face the user.

[0139] S350: Confirm whether terminal 2 is in the first state based on the status information of terminal 2;

[0140] The first state consists of two aspects: the landscape and portrait orientations of terminal 2, and the tilt angle of terminal 2. Because the model and placement of terminal 2 may change due to user operation or selection during placement, the center position of terminal 2 relative to the first housing 41 is not unique. Terminal 2 naturally drooping under gravity after placement is not necessarily in the first state. By judging the state information of terminal 2, it can be determined whether terminal 2 is in the first state. The first state can be either the landscape or portrait orientation of terminal 2. The tilt angle of terminal 2 in the first state can be a fixed tilt angle.

[0141] If it is in the first state, it means that terminal 2 is in place. If it is not in the first state, terminal 2 is adjusted to the first state by the second drive device 102 and the third drive device 103.

[0142] S400: The first housing 41 is controlled by the second drive unit 102 and the third drive unit 103 to maintain the terminal 2 in the first state.

[0143] After confirming that terminal 2 is in the first state, and before receiving a state switching signal, the second drive device 102 and the third drive device 103 are in the activated state, thereby maintaining terminal 2 in the first state to meet the user's usage needs. The second drive device 102 controls the tilt of terminal 2, and the third drive device 103 controls the screen rotation of terminal 2.

[0144] S450: Obtain user identification information and adjust the state of terminal 2 in real time based on the user identification information.

[0145] While terminal 2 remains in the first state, user information can be identified through a communication connection with terminal 2 or through a user identification device installed on the charging stand, such as the aforementioned camera 24. The user identification device can also be an infrared monitoring device. By acquiring user identification information, the relative difference between the user's facial position and the position of terminal 2 can be obtained, or the user's gesture information can be obtained, thereby adjusting the rotation state of terminal 2 based on this difference. For example, through user identification information, the user's eye position can be obtained, and terminal 2 can be rotated according to the user's eye position to track the user's face in real time, ensuring the user always faces terminal 2 during use. Furthermore, through user identification information, the user's gestures can be acquired, and after matching the gestures with corresponding commands in the database, the corresponding commands can be executed. Commands can be, for example, taking a picture or rotating. In some embodiments, the user identification state can also be a command issued by the user manually operating the adjustment component 26. In some embodiments, the user identification information can also be a command issued by the user through software to adjust the angle of terminal 2.

[0146] S500: Get whether the state switching instruction is required.

[0147] The user can switch terminal 2 from a first state to a second state, for example, switching terminal 2 from portrait mode to landscape mode. The user can also adjust the tilt of terminal 2 to suit their usage. The state switching command can be a signal issued by the user through the adjustment component 26, a signal issued by the user through the software control of terminal 2, or a signal issued by the sensor or user identification device of terminal 2 or charging stand.

[0148] S600: If a state switching command is received, the first housing 41 is controlled by the third drive device 103 to adjust the terminal 2 to the second state, and / or the carrier module 40 is controlled by the second drive device 102 to adjust the terminal 2 to the corresponding state.

[0149] The state switching command can be a signal that controls the switching between portrait and landscape modes for terminal 2. Upon receiving the state switching command, the third drive device 103 can drive the first housing 41 to rotate, thereby controlling terminal 2 to rotate to the second state to meet the user's needs. For example, terminal 2 can switch from portrait mode to landscape mode. The first housing 41 can switch the posture of terminal 2 by rotating by a fixed angle, such as degrees.

[0150] The state switching command can be a signal that controls the pitch of terminal 2. Upon receiving the state switching command, the second drive device 102 can drive the carrier module 40 to rotate relative to each other, thereby controlling the pitch of terminal 2 to meet the user's needs.

[0151] Optionally, the status information of terminal 2 can be obtained to confirm whether terminal 2 is in the adjusted state or the second state, thereby realizing closed-loop control.

[0152] S650: Obtain user identification information and adjust the state of terminal 2 in real time based on the user identification information.

[0153] While terminal 2 remains in the second state, or in the state after tilt adjustment, user information can be identified through a communication connection with terminal 2 or a user identification device, such as the aforementioned camera 24, mounted on the charging stand. The user identification device can also be an infrared monitoring device. By acquiring user identification information, the relative difference between the user's facial position and the position of terminal 2 can be obtained, or the user's gesture information can be obtained, thereby adjusting the rotation state of terminal 2 based on this difference. For example, through user identification information, the user's eye position can be obtained, allowing terminal 2 to rotate according to the user's eye position to track the user's face in real time, ensuring the user always faces terminal 2 during use. Furthermore, user identification information can be used to acquire the user's gestures, and after matching the gestures with corresponding commands in the database, the corresponding commands can be executed. Commands can be, for example, taking a picture or rotating. In some embodiments, the user identification state can also be a command issued by the user manually operating the adjustment component 26. In some embodiments, the user identification information can also be a command issued by the user through software to adjust the angle of terminal 2.

[0154] S700: Detect whether terminal 2 has been removed.

[0155] Terminal 2 can be removed from bracket 1 by the user at any time. The step of detecting whether terminal 2 has been removed needs to be continuously monitored after bracket 1 is woken up. If terminal 2 is detected to have been removed at any step after bracket 1 is woken up, the following steps are executed.

[0156] S800: If terminal 2 is removed, bracket 1 is folded by the fourth drive device 104, the first drive device 101 and the second drive device 102.

[0157] If terminal 2 is detected to have been removed, the user will no longer use bracket 1. The bracket 1 can be automatically folded by rotating the upper shell 20 via the fourth drive device 104, rotating the connecting rod 30 via the first drive device 101, and tilting the support module 40 via the second drive device 102. In other embodiments, the folding of bracket 1 can also be achieved by manually operating the adjustment component 26.

[0158] In summary, the stand 1 of this application can automatically unfold after the user places the terminal 2, and maintain or change the supporting posture of the terminal 2. After the user removes the terminal 2, the stand 1 can automatically fold. Furthermore, the stand 1 of this application can also wirelessly charge the terminal 2.

[0159] The above are merely embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
