Description

Retention member of an electronic mobile device
The invention relates to a retention member of an electronic mobile device for securing this device to a securing face, for example, a retention member for a camera in a vehicle (for example, dashcam).
It is known to secure, for example, vehicle navigation devices by means of a suction cup retention member to the front windscreen of a vehicle. DE 10 2011 116 097 A1 discloses a retention device for securing a device which is provided with a display in a motor vehicle. DE 10 2011 100 540 B4 discloses a retention device for a mobile telephone.
An object of the invention in this regard is to provide a retention member of an electronic mobile device for securing this device to a securing face, which retention member provides adjustment and release possibilities which are simple to use.
This object is achieved according to claim 1 by a retention member of an electronic mobile device for securing this device to a securing face, the retention member having a securing means which is configured to be secured to the securing face, the retention member having a first articulation by means of which the device can be pivoted relative to the securing means only about a first spatial axis and the retention member having a second articulation by means of which the device can be adjusted in a rotational manner relative to the securing means only about a second spatial axis, the second spatial axis being different from the first spatial axis. The invention has the advantage that, as a result of the construction with a first articulation and a second articulation, which in each case allows adjustability about only one spatial axis, with a variety of adjustment possibilities of the position of the device relative to the securing means and consequently relative to the securing face, the operation remains very simple and in particular in motor vehicles can be carried out in an intuitive manner with one hand. Excessive distraction of the driver from traffic events is thereby prevented. Consequently, the invention with one-handed operation provides extensive and simple-to-use adjustment and release possibilities.
The electronic mobile device may, for example, be a navigation device, a mobile telephone, any other electronic display device or a tablet computer. The retention member according to the invention is suitable in particular for electronic mobile devices in the form of cameras, for example, for a dashcam. Accordingly, the retention member can be fitted by way of the securing means thereof to a securing face which is, for example, the windscreen of a motor vehicle or other vehicle, or any other window, such as, for example, a side window, or another securing face, in particular in the inner space of the vehicle. The securing may, for example, also be carried out on the instrument panel, below the roof or on a parcel shelf. The securing face is consequently not a portion of the retention member. The securing means may, for example, be a securing surface of the retention member.
The electronic mobile device may be coupled to the retention member in a fixed or releasable manner, in particular be provided as a structural unit with the retention member. The term "fixed" in this context is intended to mean that the device cannot be removed from the retention member without any damage without using a tool. The term "releasable" in this context is intended to mean that the device can be removed from the retention member without any damage without using a tool. To this end, the retention member has accordingly shaped retention means for securely or releasably retaining the device on the retention member.
As mentioned, the second spatial axis is different from the first spatial axis. In particular, the first and second spatial axes do not extend parallel with each other, that is to say, they extend at a specific angle relative to each other. According to an advantageous development of the invention, the second spatial axis extends perpendicularly to the first spatial axis. This has specific advantages which can be well explained using the example of a camera as an electronic mobile device. If the camera is secured to the retention member and the retention member itself is secured to the securing face, for example, to the windscreen of a motor vehicle, the camera, when it is intended to be orientated in the front direction of the motor vehicle, can be adjusted at such an angle that the inclination of the front window is compensated for and the camera substantially has a detection direction parallel with the road surface. If, with the camera which is orientated in this manner, the front direction of the motor vehicle is no longer intended to be detected, but instead, for example, the inner space, the camera can be rotationally adjusted via the second articulation in such a manner that it now looks backwards instead of forwards, without the inclination angle of the camera being changed. That is to say, a camera which is orientated once via the first articulation with respect to the inclination angle can be adjusted with a hand movement from a front detection direction into a rear detection direction and vice versa so that an adjustment during travel is also possible without any danger.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the first articulation is constructed as a steplessly adjustable articulation, which permits a stepless pivot movement about the first spatial axis in a specific angular range. The first articulation may thus be constructed, for example, as a hinge. This has the advantage that the inclination angle of the device can also be adjusted in a stepless manner relative to the securing means and consequently relative to the securing face and consequently any inclinations of the securing face can be compensated for.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, there is associated with the first articulation at least one first clamping means by means of which there is produced a permanently acting fixing force, which can be overcome by means of application of an external force to the device and which counteracts a pivoting of the device about the first spatial axis, in order to fix the first articulation. The first clamping means is also an integral component of the retention member and it may in particular also be a portion of the first articulation. The first articulation may thus be constructed, for example, as a constant torque hinge (also referred to as a torque hinge, friction hinge, friction moment hinge or positioning hinge). This has the advantage that the device, on the one hand, is fixed with regard to the adjustment of the pivot angle with respect to specific environmental influences, for example, vibrations in a moving motor vehicle and nonetheless, without additional measures, such as, for example, the release of a screw connection or a lock, manual pivoting of the device is possible at any time by means of application of an external force to the device.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the device has a detection means which has a predetermined detection direction for detecting external signals, the first spatial axis extending perpendicularly to the detection direction. The detection direction may in particular be the optical detection axis of a camera, which is used as an electronic mobile device.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, there is associated with the second articulation at least one catch means which has at least two catch positions, in which the device is arrested in the predetermined rotation positions by means of engagement, the engagement being able to be overcome by means of application of an external force to the device. This simplifies the adjustment of the device about the second spatial axis, that is to say, during the rotation movement. By means of predetermined catch positions, specific orientations, for example, detection directions of the camera, may be predefined. This in turn simplifies the operation of the retention member, in particular with regard to intuitive and one-handed operation.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the catch means has precisely two catch positions, in which the device is arrested by means of engagement in rotation positions different by 180°. In this manner, for example, when the retention member is used to secure a camera in a vehicle, the front direction and the rear direction can be predefined by the two catch positions. The camera can then again be readily moved in an intuitive manner using one hand from the front detection direction into the rear detection direction and vice versa.
The catch means is another component of the retention member, in particular the catch means may also be at least partially a portion of the second articulation.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the second articulation can be rotationally adjusted into rotation positions beyond the catch positions. Accordingly, the catch positions are not the end angular positions of the rotation movement, but instead are located within a permissible rotation range of the second articulation. This enables further flexible adjustment possibilities of the device.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the second articulation is constructed outside the catch positions as a steplessly adjustable articulation which permits a stepless rotational movement of the device about the second spatial axis in a specific angular range. The second articulation may thus be constructed, for example, as a hinge. This has the advantage that the rotation angle of the device relative to the securing means and consequently relative to the securing face can also be adjusted in a stepless manner, and consequently any detection directions can be selected.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, there is associated with the second articulation at least one second clamping means by means of which there is produced a permanently acting fixing force, which can be overcome by means of application of an external force to the device and which counteracts a rotational movement of the device about the second spatial axis, in order to fix the second articulation. The second clamping means is also an integral component of the retention member and it may in particular also be a portion of the second articulation. This has the advantage that the device, on the one hand, is fixed with regard to the adjustment of the rotation angle with respect to specific environmental influences, for example, vibrations in a moving motor vehicle, and nonetheless, without additional measures, such as, for example, the release of a screw connection or a lock, manual rotation of the device is possible at any time by means of application of an external force to the device.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the retention member has at least one first retention member portion which is configured for secure connection to the device and at least one second retention member portion which is configured for secure connection to the securing face. The first retention member portion can be connected to the second retention member portion by means of connection means which are constructed on the first and second retention member portions to form a rigid connection which can be released without any tools. In this instance, the first retention member portion has the first and the second articulation. Accordingly, the second retention member portion can be provided as a very simple and in particular cost-effective component, from which a user can produce and use a plurality of second retention member portions without considerable complexity. In this manner, a changeability of the electronic mobile device from one location of use to one or more other locations of use is supported. The electronic mobile device always remains connected to the same first retention member portion, for example, in the form of a structural unit. At each location of use, a second retention member portion can be securely fitted, for example, by means of adhesive bonding, for example, with double-sided adhesive tape, by means of screwing or by other connection means. If, for example, a camera is intended to be used as an electronic mobile device in different motor vehicles, only a second retention member portion has to be fitted in each motor vehicle. By means of the connection which can be released without any tool between the first and the second retention member, the electronic mobile device can then be moved in a simple manner from one motor vehicle to the other and be secured at that location in a rapid and simple manner.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the connection means are constructed as a catch and/or snap-fitting connection, by means of which the first retention member portion can be selectively connected to or released from the second retention member portion which is already secured to the securing face. This enables a cost-effective construction of the connection means and easily operable functions when the first retention member portion is connected to the second retention member portion and when this connection is released.
According to an advantageous development of the invention, the first retention member portion can be secured to the second retention member portion which is already secured to the securing face by means of a movement initially perpendicular to the securing face and a subsequent movement parallel with the securing face. This enables favourable haptics for the operator and consequently simple intuitive operability. In order to release the first retention member portion from the second retention member portion, a reverse movement sequence is then intended to be carried out accordingly. The movement parallel with the securing face may be a linear movement, a rotation movement or a combination thereof. In the region of the connection means, there may be formed on the first retention member portion and the second retention member portion corresponding guide means which, after carrying out the initially perpendicular movement, carry out the subsequent parallel movement in such a manner that the degrees of freedom of movement for the user are limited to such an extent that the first retention member portion is guided in a defined manner on the second retention member portion into a connection position in which the connection means become effective, that is to say, in which the catch connection engages or the snap-fitting connection snaps in.
The invention is explained in greater detail below with reference to embodiments using drawings.
In the drawings:
Figures 1 to 5 show a retention member having an electronic mobile device and
Figure 6 shows components of the retention member and the cooper ation thereof, and
Figure 7 shows two adjustment possibilities of the electronic mobile device, and
Figure 8 shows the retention member with the electronic mobile de vice as the individual components thereof, in a similar manner to an exploded drawing.
In the Figures, the same reference numerals are used for elements which correspond to each other. All the Figures show different perspective views of the illustrated objects in each case.
The Figures show a retention member portion 1, 5 according to the invention together with an electronic mobile device 2 in the form of a digital camera (so-called dashcam). Using accordingly modified retention means, however, the retention member portion 1, 5 is also suitable for retaining and securing other electronic mobile devices, such as, for example, mobile telephones or the like. The retention member portion 1, 5 has as subassemblies a first retention member portion 1, 5 and a second retention member portion 5. The second retention member portion 5 is intended to remain in the motor vehicle and accordingly has a securing surface 50 by means of which the second retention member portion 5 is permanently secured to a securing face in the motor vehicle, for example, to a window pane or to the instrument panel. The second retention member portion 5 is rigidly and releasably connected to the first retention member portion 1 by means of different connection means which will be explained in greater detail below. At the other end, the device 2 is connected to the first retention member portion 1. This connection is constructed as a permanent connection which cannot be released without a tool and which does not have to be released during normal operation of the device 2.
Figures 2, 3 and 5 in this instance show the arrangement illustrated in each case without the second retention member portion 5. In all the other illustrations, the second retention member portion 5 is reproduced.
The device 2 has a housing 20, for example, of plastics material. The electrical and electronic components of the device 2 are accommodated in the housing 20. Since this is a digital camera, it has at a front side an objective lens 21 or a light inlet opening. A detection direction 210 of the digital camera is defined by the objective lens 21 or the light inlet opening. The device 2 further has operating elements 22, for example, in the form of keys. By means of the operating elements 22, a user can carry out adjustments on the device 2. The device 2 further has laterally at a housing side an insertion slot 23 for inserting a memory card, for example, in the form of a slot for receiving an SD or mini-SD card. At the opposing housing side, an electrical plug type connection 24 is provided on the housing 20, as can be seen, for example, in Figure 2. The plug type connection 24 may be constructed, for example, as a USB or mini-USB connection. Via the plug type connection 24, the device 2 can be supplied with electrical energy. Furthermore, the device 2 can thereby be connected to a computer, for example, in order to carry out adjustments thereon or to read stored recordings.
The first retention member portion 1 has a bridge-like construction with two retention arms 10 which extend parallel from a retention plate 11. At the end facing the device 2, the retention arms 10 are connected to an upper articulation retention portion 12 by means of a first articulation 3. The upper articulation retention portion 12 is movably coupled to a lower articulation retention portion 13 so that a second articulation 4 is formed. Via the first articulation 3, the device 2 can be pivoted about a first spatial axis 30. Via the second articulation 4, the device 2 can be adjusted in a rotatable manner about a second spatial axis 40. The lower articulation retention portion 13 is in the embodiment illustrated constructed integrally with the housing 20, for example, by means of production in a plastics material injection-moulding operation. The upper articulation retention portion 12 is constructed as a component which can be released from the lower articulation retention portion 13 and coupled therewith, for example, by means of screwing or engagement.
The second retention member portion 5 has a securing surface 50 which is directed upwards to the left in an oblique manner in Figure 1 and via which it can be secured to a securing face, for example, of a motor vehicle. The releasable connection of the second retention member portion 5 to the first retention member portion 1 is carried out by means of connection means 11, 14, 15, 51, 52 in such a manner that the first retention member portion 1 can be inserted laterally into the retention arms 52 surrounding the retention plate 11. In order to configure the movement sequence for the user in a simple manner, guide means 15, 51 are provided on the first retention member portion 1 and the second retention member portion 5, for example, in the form of a groove 15 on one portion and a projection 51 which is formed so as to complement the groove 15 on the other portion. When the first retention member portion 1 has been inserted into the desired position in the second retention member portion 5, they are engaged with each other by a locking projection 14 which is formed in the example illustrated on the first retention member portion 1 engaging in a locking recess 53 of the second retention member portion 5. The locking projection 14 snap-fits in a specific position automatically into the catch recess 53. When the connection is intended to be released again, an actuation region 16 on the first retention member portion 1 is intended to be actuated manually. The locking projection 14 is thereby moved out of the locking recess 53 as a result of an application of force and consequently releases it so that, by means of an opposing lateral movement, the first retention member portion 1 can again be released from the second retention member portion 5. The details of the connection between the first retention member portion 1 and the second retention member portion 5 are illustrated in Figure 6 in various views and from different perspectives. It can further be seen in the lower right-hand illustration in Figure 6 that the second retention member portion 5 can be bonded to the securing face, for example, by means of a piece of double-sided adhesive tape 7.
Figure 1 shows the retention member portion 1, 5 with the device 2 in a typical application situation in a motor vehicle when the second retention member portion 50 is secured to an oblique front window of the motor vehicle and the detection direction 210 is orientated in the travel direction of the motor vehicle. Figure 2 shows the same adjustment, but in another view. As can be seen in Figure 3, the pivot angle of the device 2 with respect to the securing surface 50 can be changed about the first spatial axis 30 by means of the first articulation 3. In the setting according to Figure 3, for example, the securing surface 50 can be secured to a perpendicular wall or perpendicular window of a motor vehicle, for example, when used in a lorry. Via the second articulation 4, the device 2 can be produced so as to rotate relative to the securing surface 50. Figure 5 shows with the same pivot angle as in Figure 3 a device 2 which is turned in a rotational manner through 180°. Whilst, in Figure 3, the objective lens 21 is concealed by portions of the retention member portion 1, it can be seen in Figure 5 as a result of the transposed rotation setting. In comparison with the retention member portion 1, 5 and consequently the securing surface 50, the detection direction 210 is consequently rotated through 180 degrees. In this manner, it is possible to switch, for example, from a detection of the outer region of a motor vehicle to the detection of the inner region, that is to say, the inner space. Figure 4 shows the retention member portion 1, 5 with the device 2 in the same setting as in Figure 3, but as a view obliquely from the front towards the objective lens 21. In addition, it is shown that a connector 6 having a cable 60 is inserted in the plug type contact 24. The connector 6 may, for example, be constructed as an angled connector, for example, as a Down Angle Micro B-USB, so that the cable 60 emerges in an upward direction, for example, in the direction of the roof interior of a motor vehicle. This has the advantage that the device 2, even with the connector 6 inserted, can be freely adjusted, with the cable, about the first and the second spatial axis as long as the retention member portion 1,5 permits this. The slight torsion of the cable 60 which occurs in this instance is readily compensated for by this.
Figure 7 again shows for comparison the 180 degree adjustment of the device 2 relative to the securing surface 50 during the adjustment of the retention member portion 1,5 as illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 7 shows in the left-hand drawing a detection direction 210 which is directed in the direction of the motor vehicle inner space and, in the right-hand drawing, a detection direction 210 which is directed in the travel direction of the motor vehicle.
With reference to Figures 6 and 8, an advantageous construction of the first and second articulation 3, 4 is explained in greater detail. It can first be seen in Figure 8 that the housing 20 has two housing shell portions 20a, 20b, which are releasably connected to each other, for example, by means of screws. The electrical or electronic components 8 of the device 2 are accommodated between the housing shell portions 20a, 20b. The lower articulation retention portion 13 which is constructed integrally with the housing shell portion 20a can also be seen.
There is arranged between the housing shell portions 20a, 20b a central articulation component 35 which substantially has an annular form. On the central articulation component 35, bearing receiving elements 33, 34 are provided. The bearing receiving element 33 serves to receive a bearing journal 31, which is formed on one retention arm 10 of the first retention member portion 1 (see Figure 6, top left). The bearing receiving element 34 serves to receive a bearing element 32, with which the first articulation 3 with a permanently acting fixing force which can be overcome by means of the application of an external force to the device 2 is constructed to fix the first articulation 3. Accordingly, the bearing element 32 acts as a first clamping means, for example, by being constructed in the form of a reel multi-function hinge. The region of the bearing element 32 reproduced in Figure 8 at the left-hand side is then coupled to the other retention arm 10 of the first retention member portion 1. In this manner, the pivotability of the device 2 with respect to the securing surface 50 about the first spatial axis 30 is achieved, the device 2 being fixed in a setting which is brought about once manually by means of the fixing force of the bearing element 32.
The second articulation 4 is formed by the outer periphery 43 of the central member component 35 and an inner periphery 46 which is adapted thereto in terms of the inner diameter on the housing shell portion 20a. By means of this connection, the device 2 can first be freely adjusted in a rotational manner about the second spatial axis 40. Already as a result of the cable 60, however, this is not desirable without limits. A rotation movement limitation is therefore provided, for example, by an annular inner groove 41 being provided on the housing shell portion 20a, in which groove 41 a pin which is arranged on the upper articulation retention portion 12 engages. As a result of the limitation of the extension angle of the inner groove 41, for example, to 180 or 200 to 210 degrees, an advantageous limitation of the rotary adjustability about the first spatial axis 30 is possible with complete functionality of the device 2.
In order to also carry out the manual adjustment of the device 2 about the second spatial axis 40 in a simple and visually pleasing manner, there are provided in securing recesses 45 of the central articulation component 35 catch elements 44, for example, so-called pilot catch elements which have a resiliently loaded ball which is guided in a substantially cylindrical component and which is pressed outwards by the spring. When the device 2 is assembled, the catch elements 44 cooperate with catch recesses 42 on the inner periphery 46. If the device 2 is placed in a position in which the catch elements 44 engage with the balls thereof in the catch recesses 42, this is perceived by the user haptically and, as long as excessively great ambient noises are not present, also acoustically. The catch elements 44 have, in other rotation positions in which the balls thereof are not engaged in the catch recesses 42, the additional function of stopping any adjusted rotational intermediate position by applying a fixing force to the inner periphery 46 as a result of the resiliently loaded balls thereof.
