Base and electronic device assembly using the same

The present invention relates to a base, and more particularly to a base for connecting electronic devices.

With the development of electronic technology, portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, are becoming more and more powerful. At present, most mobile phones have functions such as video playback and e-book browsing. When a user watches a video or browses an e-book using a mobile phone, it is usually necessary to hold the mobile phone or support the mobile phone on a support surface (such as a desktop) by means of a support. However, when the mobile phone is held for a long time, the user's hand is numb, and placing the mobile phone on the desktop requires finding a suitable support to limit the use of the mobile phone.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a base for supporting an electronic device.

The base is for supporting an electronic device. The base includes a body and a first support portion extending upward from the body. The first support portion cooperates with the body to support the electronic device on the support surface in the first direction. The body has a beveled side. The body extends from the oblique side to form a second support portion. The second support portion cooperates with the body to support the electronic device on the support surface in a second direction different from the first direction.

The present invention also provides an electronic device assembly using the above described base.

The base can support the electronic device on the support surface, thereby being convenient for the user.

1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of an electronic device assembly 100 in accordance with a preferred embodiment. The electronic device assembly 100 includes an electronic device 10 and a base 20 for supporting the electronic device 10. The base 20 is provided with a plug 30 adapted to an external interface (not shown) of the electronic device 10 and electrically connects the electronic device 10 to an external device such as an external power source, a speaker, etc. by a connection line 40, which is an electronic device. 10 provides charging function and / or data login output function.

The base 20 includes a body 210 , a first support portion 220 extending obliquely upward and rearward from the body 210 , a second support portion 230 extending upward from the body 210 side, and an adjustment unit 240 received in the body 210 . The body 210 is a hollow body including a bottom wall 201, a top cover 202 parallel to the bottom wall 201, and four side walls (a first side wall 211, a second side wall 212, a third side wall 213, and a fourth side wall 214). The first sidewall 211, the second sidewall 212, the third sidewall 213, and the fourth sidewall 214 are connected end to end, wherein The two side walls 212 and the first side wall 211 are parallel to each other. The third side wall 213 is an oblique side, that is, the angle between the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 is not equal to 90 degrees. In the embodiment, the angle between the third side wall 213 and the first side wall 211 is an acute angle. The angle of the second side wall 212 is an obtuse angle. Accordingly, the adjusting unit 240 is disposed adjacent to the intersection of the third side wall 213 and the second side wall 212 to provide a better adjustment space for the adjusting unit 240. Preferably, in the embodiment, the body 210 is an isosceles trapezoid, that is, the third side wall 213 and the fourth side wall 214 are two oblique sides and have the same length. The second support portion 230 is formed to extend perpendicularly from the third sidewall 213 . The second support portion 230 is coplanar with the third sidewall 213 and is perpendicularly connected to the first support portion 220 . A through hole 215 is defined in an end of the third sidewall 213 adjacent to the second sidewall 212.

The first support portion 220 is substantially L-shaped. The first support portion 220 is at an angle with the top cover 202 of the body 210 and perpendicular to the second support portion 230.

A receiving portion 222 for supporting the electronic device 10 is protruded from the top cover 202 of the body 210. The receiving portion 222 is connected to the first support portion 220. The receiving portion 222 has an upper surface 224 that is perpendicular to the first support portion 220. The upper surface 224 is provided with a receiving hole 225 for mounting the plug 30. The plug 30 is disposed on the receiving portion 222 and is substantially parallel to the first supporting portion 220.

With further reference to FIG. 3 , the adjustment unit 240 includes an adjustment rod 241 , a driving member 242 , and an elastic member 243 . The adjustment rod 241 is slidably disposed on the bottom wall 201 of the base 20. One end of the adjusting rod 241 is elastically connected to the baffle 203 on the bottom wall 201 by the elastic member 243, and the other end is received in the through hole 215. The elastic member 243 is for providing a radial thrust to extend the adjustment rod 241 through the through hole 215. A stopper 244 is disposed in the middle of the adjustment rod 241. The driving member 242 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall 201 and abuts the side of the adjusting rod 241 on the adjusting rod 244 away from the elastic member 243 for driving the adjusting rod 241 to extend out of the third side wall 213. The driving member 242 includes a knob 2422 rotatably coupled to the bottom wall 201 and an eccentric 2424 fixed to the knob 2422.

Referring to FIG. 4(A)-4(C) together, the eccentric 2424 is eccentrically disposed with respect to the center of rotation of the knob 2422 such that the adjustment lever 241 extends out of the third side wall 213 when the knob 2422 is rotated. In this embodiment, the eccentric wheel 2424 has an isosceles trapezoidal shape, and the distance from each side to the center of rotation is not equal, so that when the knob 2422 is rotated, the eccentric wheel 2424 cooperates with the elastic member 243 to adjust the adjustment rod 241 to extend out of the third side wall 213. length. As shown in FIG. 4(A), when the side of the eccentric 2424 farthest from the center of rotation abuts against the stopper 244, the length of the adjustment rod 241 extending beyond the third side wall 213 is the shortest, for example, the end of the adjustment rod 241 is just It is flush with the third side wall 213. As shown in FIG. 4(B), the knob 2422 is rotated to abut the other end of the eccentric 2424 farther from the center of rotation to the stopper 244. At this time, the length of the adjustment rod 241 extending beyond the third side wall 213 is greater than that of FIG. The adjustment lever 241 protrudes from the length of the third side wall 213 in the state shown in (A). As shown in FIG. 4(C), when the eccentric wheel 2424 abuts against the stopper 244 from the side closest to the rotation, the length of the adjustment lever 241 extending beyond the third side wall 213 is the longest.

In use, as shown in FIG. 5, when the electronic device 10 is plugged into the plug 30, the electronic device 10 can be supported in an upright state by the combination of the bottom wall 201 of the base 20 and the first support portion 220. Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 together, the base 20 is lowered, and the electronic device 10 can be supported in a horizontal position by the combination of the third side wall 213 and the second supporting portion 230. Since the third side wall 213 is at an angle with the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212, the electronic device 10 is inclined with respect to the supporting surface when in the horizontal position, so that the user can view the electronic device 10. In addition, the tilt angle of the electronic device 10 in the horizontal state can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the third side wall 213 by the adjustment lever 241 of the adjustment unit 240.

It is to be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments are only intended to illustrate the invention, and are not intended to limit the invention, as long as it is within the spirit of the invention Changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the invention.
