The electronic device clamping bracket provided by the embodiment of the invention can be used for clamping electronic devices such as a mobile phone, a flat panel, a camera, a video camera and the like so as to fix the electronic devices on fixing devices such as a desktop and the like or bearing devices such as a cradle head and the like.
The clamping support for the electronic device comprises two clamping parts which are oppositely arranged, wherein one clamping part is fixed on a rack, the other clamping part is movably arranged on the rack through a connecting rod structure, and when an electronic device such as a mobile phone is held by a user to push the electronic device towards a clamping position, the electronic device can push the connecting rod structure to move relative to the rack so as to drive the second clamping part to move to the clamping position opposite to the first clamping part, so that the electronic device is clamped. When the external force applied to the electronic device is removed, the connecting rod structure can enable the clamping support of the electronic device to be self-locked at the clamping position.
The electronic device clamping bracket of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an electronic device clamping bracket 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. The electronic device clamping bracket 1 comprises a frame 10, a first clamping part 11, a second clamping part 12 and a connecting rod structure 13, wherein the first clamping part 11, the second clamping part 12 and the connecting rod structure 13 are arranged on the frame 10, the first clamping part 11 is fixedly arranged on the frame 10, and the second clamping part 12 is connected to the frame 10 through the connecting rod structure 13. When a user pushes the mobile phone or other electronic device 2 towards the clamping position, the electronic device 2 can push the connecting rod structure 13 to move relative to the rack 10 so as to drive the second clamping portion 12 to move to the clamping position opposite to the first clamping portion 11, and thus the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 jointly act to clamp the electronic device 2. The link structure 13 enables the electronic device clamping bracket 1 to be self-locked in the clamping position when the external force applied to the electronic device 2 is removed.
The stand 10 is used for fixing or supporting the electronic device holding stand 1 on a fixing device or other suitable bearing surface, such as a desktop, a cradle head, etc. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the frame 10 is substantially T-shaped and comprises a first portion and a second portion perpendicular to each other, and the first clamping portion 11 is arranged on a side of the first portion of the frame 10 remote from the second portion. When the link structure 13 moves to the clamping position, the second clamping portion 12 corresponds to the first clamping portion 11 in position, and the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 and the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 12 at least partially correspond. A clamping area is formed between the plane of the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 and the plane of the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 12, and the electronic device 2 is clamped in the clamping area. The first clamping part and the second clamping part are approximately long-strip-shaped. It will be appreciated that the housing 10 may be of any other suitable shape, for example, the shape of the housing 10 may be designed according to the fixture or bearing surface on which the electronic device holding rack 1 is to be carried. The first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 may have other shapes that are suitable for matching the shape of the electronic device, as long as the clamping surfaces of the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 can firmly clamp the electronic device in the clamping position.
As shown in fig. 1, the link structure 13 includes a first link 131, a second link 132, and a thrust rod 133. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the first link 131 is substantially in a straight strip shape, the first link 131 is rotatably connected to the second link 132 through a first rotation shaft 134, and the first link 131 can rotate around the first rotation shaft 134 relative to the second link 132. The first shaft 134 may be fixedly provided on one of the first link 131 and the second link 132, and the other of the first link 131 and the second link 132 may be rotatably connected to the first shaft 134. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first link 131 is not limited to be a straight bar, and may be any other suitable geometric shape, such as a regular or irregular curved shape.
In the embodiment shown in the figures, the second link 132 is generally elongate. One end of the second connecting rod 132 far away from the first connecting rod 131 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 through a second rotating shaft 135, and the second connecting rod 132 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 135 relative to the frame 10. The second rotating shaft 135 may be fixedly disposed on the frame 10, and the second connecting rod 132 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 135. It should be understood that, in other embodiments, the second rotating shaft 135 may be fixedly disposed on the second connecting rod 132, and the frame 10 is provided with a corresponding shaft hole, and the second rotating shaft 135 is rotatably disposed on the frame 10 in cooperation with the shaft hole. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the first link 131 is not limited to be a straight bar, and may be any other suitable geometric shape, such as a regular or irregular curved shape.
The thrust rod 133 is rotatably connected to the first link 131 at one end thereof via a third rotation shaft 136 and rotatably connected to the frame 10 at the other end thereof via a fourth rotation shaft 137. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the thrust rod is substantially in a straight bar shape, the third rotating shaft 136 is fixedly disposed on one of the first connecting rod 131 and the thrust rod 133, and the other of the first connecting rod 131 and the thrust rod 133 is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 136. The fourth rotating shaft 137 may be fixedly disposed on the frame 10, and the thrust rod 133 is rotatably connected to the fourth rotating shaft 137. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the fourth shaft 137 may be rotatably disposed on the frame 10 by engaging with a shaft hole provided on the frame 10. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the thrust rod 133 may be of any other suitable shape, such as a regular or irregular curve.
The position of the second rotation shaft 135 on the frame 10 is different from the position of the fourth rotation shaft 137 on the frame 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the second shaft 135 is positioned at one end of the second portion of the housing 10 and the fourth shaft 137 is positioned at the first portion of the housing 10. The distance between the second rotation shaft 135 and the first clamping portion 11 in the direction parallel to the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 is greater than the distance between the fourth rotation shaft 137 and the first clamping portion 11 in the direction parallel to the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 in the position on the frame 10. The fourth rotating shaft 137 may be disposed on the frame 10 near the first clamping portion 11. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, the fourth shaft 137 may be provided on the first portion of the frame 10, so long as it does not overlap the second shaft 135. The relative positions of the first rotating shaft 134, the second rotating shaft 135, the third rotating shaft 136 and the fourth rotating shaft 137 can be determined according to the size of the electronic device.
When the first link 131 moves to the clamping position relative to the second link 132, the center of the first shaft 134 is located on a line connecting the center of the third shaft 136 and the center of the second shaft 135, and a line connecting the center of the third shaft 136 and the center of the fourth shaft 137 (for example, an axis of the thrust rod 133 along the extending direction thereof) is not coincident with a line connecting the center of the third shaft 136 and the center of the second shaft 135 (for example, a central axis of the first link 131 and the second link 132). At this time, the external force is withdrawn, and the electronic device holding bracket 1 is locked at the clamping position, for example, in the state shown in fig. 3. In the clamping position, the third rotation shaft 136, the second rotation shaft 135 and the fourth rotation shaft 137 form a triangle. The clamping surfaces of the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12 cooperate with each other to clamp the electronic device 2 (refer to the state diagram shown in fig. 3) located between the clamping surfaces of the first clamping portion 11 and the second clamping portion 12. Preferably, in the clamping position, the thrust rod 133 is substantially perpendicular to the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11, and the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 12 is substantially parallel to the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11. When an external force (external force P in the direction indicated by the arrow in fig. 3) is applied again to deviate the center of the first rotating shaft 134 from the line connecting the center of the third rotating shaft 136 and the center of the second rotating shaft 135, the electronic device holding bracket 1 is unlocked from the clamping position. It will be appreciated that the optimal location for applying the external force P is near the first shaft 134, i.e. at the first shaft 134 or at the second link 132 near the first shaft 134 or at the first link 131 near the first shaft 134.
Please refer to the mechanical schematic diagram shown in fig. 2. Wherein point D represents the center of the first rotating shaft 134, point C represents the center of the second rotating shaft 135, point B represents the center of the third rotating shaft 136, point a represents the center of the fourth rotating shaft 137, point F is the center of the first clamping portion 11, the line between BDs may represent the center axis of the first connecting rod 131, the line between DCs may represent the center axis of the second connecting rod 132, and the line between AB may represent the center axis of the thrust rod 133. When an external force is applied to rotate the first link 131 relative to the second link 132, the point C is fixed to the point a, the point D moves upward and rightward, and drives the point B to move upward and leftward, the point F moves downward in an inclined manner, and when the three points B, C and D are collinear, the link structure is at a "dead point" of movement, as shown in fig. 3, and at this time, the reaction force N of the clamping force at the point F cannot destroy the state of the mechanism at this time, but by applying the force P in the drawing, the "dead point" of the mechanism can be destroyed.
When a user clamps the bracket 1 by using the electronic device, as shown in fig. 2, the electronic device 2 put in can push the connecting rod structure to move when pushing to the clamping position, when moving to the position shown in fig. 3, the connecting rod structure is at a dead point position, the electronic device 2 is clamped by the first clamping part 11 and the second clamping part 12, the reaction force N of the clamping force is insufficient to damage the dead point position of the connecting rod structure, and the electronic device 2 is firmly fixed in the electronic device clamping bracket 1; when the electronic device 2 needs to be taken out, the electronic device 2 can be conveniently taken out from the electronic device clamping bracket 1 only by applying the force P shown in fig. 3 and breaking the self-locking of the mechanism.
In a further embodiment, in order to facilitate the electronic device 2 pushing the link structure 13, the link structure 13 further includes a pushing portion 138, where one end of the pushing portion 138 is fixedly connected to the first link 131, and the other end (i.e. a point E in fig. 2) is located within a range defined by a plane of the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 and a plane of the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 12, where when the electronic device 2 is pushed in the clamping direction, the pushing portion end 1380 can be pushed to drive the first link 131 to rotate relative to the second link 132 to the clamping position. In the illustrated embodiment, the pushing portion 138 is an elongated rod, and an end thereof remote from the pushing portion end 1380 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 131. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the first link 131 and the pushing portion 138 may be integrally formed. It should be appreciated that, in other embodiments, the pushing portion 138 may be fixedly connected to the second link 132 or the first shaft 134, so long as the pushing portion 138 can be pushed by the electronic device 2 to drive the link structure 13 to move to the clamping position.
In a further embodiment, in order to facilitate the application of an external force to unlock the electronic device clamping bracket 1 from the clamping position, an operation portion 139 that is convenient to operate may be further provided on the link structure 13. The operating portion 139 may be provided on the first link 131, the second link 132, or the first rotating shaft 134. The operating portion 139 may be a lever or other shaped structure that is convenient to operate to unlock the electronic device clamping bracket 1. It should be appreciated that, in other embodiments, to simplify the structure, the first shaft 134 may directly protrude from the surfaces of the first link 131 and the second link 132, and the user may directly apply an external force to the first shaft 134 to unlock the electronic device clamping bracket 1. It will be appreciated that the operation portion 139 may be omitted, and an external force may be directly applied to the pushing portion 138 to push the pushing portion 138 to move reversely, so as to drive the first link 131 to rotate reversely, so that the first rotating shaft 134 deviates from the connection line between the second rotating shaft 135 and the third rotating shaft 136, and thus the electronic device clamping bracket 1 is unlocked from the clamping position to the unlocking position.
The second clamping portion 12 is fixedly connected to an end of the thrust rod 133 away from the fourth rotating shaft 137. In other embodiments, the second clamping portion 12 and the thrust rod 133 may be integrally formed, the thrust rod 133 is L-shaped, and the third rotating shaft 136 is disposed at a right angle bend of the thrust rod 133.
In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the second clamping portion 12 includes a clamping lever 120 and a clamping portion 121 fixedly connected to the clamping lever 120. The clamping lever 120 is disposed substantially perpendicular to the thrust lever 133, and the clamping portion 121 is connected substantially perpendicular to the clamping lever 120. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the second clamping portion 12 may include only the clamping lever 120, and the electronic device 2 may be clamped by the clamping lever 120 in cooperation with the first clamping portion 11.
In a further embodiment, the clamping portion 121 includes a connecting portion 122 that connects the clamping bar 120 substantially vertically, and a clamping block 123 disposed at an end of the connecting portion 122 remote from the clamping bar 120.
In a further embodiment, at least one of the first clamping portion or the second clamping portion is capable of being elastically deformed to adjust a vertical distance between a clamping surface of the first clamping portion and a clamping surface of the second clamping portion when the electronic device clamping bracket 1 is used to clamp electronic devices 2 of different sizes. In order to make the clamping more stable, an elastic material such as silicone rubber may be provided on at least one of the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 and the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 12.
For example, in some embodiments, to accommodate clamping electronic devices of different sizes, the clamping rod 120 may be made of an elastic material, and may be elastically deformed when an external force is applied to adjust a vertical distance between the clamping surface of the clamping portion 121 and the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11 (as shown in fig. 4).
In some embodiments, to accommodate clamping electronic devices of different sizes, the clamping block 123 may be fixedly connected to the connecting portion 122 by an elastic element, where the elastic element generates elastic deformation to adjust a vertical distance between the clamping surface of the clamping block 123 and the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 11.
In addition, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art according to the technical idea of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
