With the continuous advancement of mobile computing technology and the development of wireless networks, smart phones or mobile phones have become electronic devices commonly used by modern people in their daily lives. In addition to general phone calls, sending and receiving messages, or surfing the Internet, users’ applications for such devices include more common applications such as playing games, taking pictures, and watching videos. Therefore, when users perform such applications, they often need to place their devices horizontally to perform operations.

For example, when playing related strategic mobile games, most of them use both hands to hold both ends of the phone horizontally, and touch the screen with both thumbs and thumbs; in addition, there is also a requirement for horizontal framing when taking pictures. One-handed or two-handed handshake can be used to shoot or take selfies; in addition, general movies or video streaming are often produced in banner mode. When users want to watch in a larger area, they can choose to display in full screen. Place the phone horizontally.

However, according to the current design trend, the mobile phone is a relatively thin product after all. When the user performs the above-mentioned related applications, they often face the problem of being unable to hold it stably and perform touch control. Although some companies have designed gripping accessories such as mobile phone holders, mobile phone buckles or mobile phone rings, they still cannot be applied to every horizontal application at the same time. In addition, although the current technology has handle accessories that are similar to game console handle devices and are specifically matched with mobile phones for control, such accessories are expensive and bulky, and cannot meet the needs of most people.

Therefore, how to propose a gripping accessory that can meet a variety of horizontal applications is the main purpose of the development of this project.

The purpose of this creation is to propose a holding module and its holding structure. This kind of holding module and its holding structure are applied to mobile phones, and have the characteristics of simple structure design and low cost, allowing users to rotate to a suitable angle to perform holding operations according to actual application requirements, so as to include A variety of horizontal applications such as horizontal mobile games, horizontal shooting, selfies or watching videos.

This creation is a holding module and its holding structure, applied to an object to be applied. The holding module includes at least one holding structure. The holding structure includes a lower plate body and an upper plate body. The lower board is arranged on the back of an object of the object to be applied in a fixed manner, and the lower board has a first connecting portion. The upper board has a second connecting portion, and the second connecting portion is pivotally connected to the first connecting portion. Wherein, the upper plate body can rotate relative to the lower plate body within a gripping operation range, and provide a gripping operation. When the holding structure is in a storage state, the upper plate does not exceed a back range of the back of the object.

In order to have a better understanding of the above-mentioned and other aspects of this creation, the following specific examples are given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to describe in detail.

The following examples are presented for detailed description. The examples are only used as examples for illustration, and do not limit the scope of the creation to be protected. In addition, the drawings in the embodiments omit unnecessary components or components that can be completed with common techniques to clearly show the technical characteristics of the creation.

A preferred embodiment is now used to describe the implementation of the gripping module and its gripping structure proposed in this creation. Please refer to Figure 1A to Figure 1D, Figure 2A and Figure 2B at the same time. Fig. 1A is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a grip structure 1 proposed by the creation; Fig. 1B is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the grip structure 1 of Fig. 1A from another perspective; Fig. 1C is a rear view of the grip structure 1; 1D is a side view of the holding structure 1. 2A is an exploded schematic view of the holding structure 1; FIG. 2B is an exploded schematic view of the holding structure 1 of FIG. 2A turned over 180 degrees.

As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D, 2A and 2B, the holding structure 1 includes a lower plate body 30 and an upper plate body 10, and the lower plate body 30 and the upper plate body 10 are in a sheet-like pattern. And in order to provide a better grip effect, the thickness of the upper plate body 10 used to provide the user to grip can be designed to be a thickness that facilitates the grip of ordinary people. The lower plate 30 is not provided for the user to hold, but is mainly used for fixing and pivoting. Therefore, the size and thickness of the lower plate 30 can be designed to be smaller than the upper plate 10. On the other hand, since the upper plate 10 is used for gripping operations, it can be designed with a shape suitable for gripping. In this embodiment, the upper plate body 10 is designed to have an elliptical shape.

Secondly, the lower board 30 has a first connecting portion 31, the upper board 10 has a second connecting portion 12, and the second connecting portion 12 is pivotally connected to the first connecting portion 31. In detail, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion 31 is designed as a bearing, and the second connecting portion 12 is a shaft hole, and the holding structure 1 is composed of the lower plate body 30 and the upper plate The bodies 10 are stacked, and the shaft hole (ie, the second connecting portion 12) is assembled on the bearing (ie, the first connecting portion 31) to form a pivotal connection. By virtue of the circular pattern and matching size design of the shaft hole and the bearing, the shaft hole and the bearing can be rotated relative to each other. In other words, the upper plate body 10 and the lower plate body 30 can rotate relative to each other.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a plurality of engaging elastic pieces 121 are formed around the shaft hole (that is, the second connecting portion 12), and around the bearing (that is, the first connecting portion 31) A flange 311 is formed. When the shaft hole (that is, the second connecting portion 12) is assembled on the bearing (that is, the first connecting portion 31), the engaging elastic pieces 121 will be elastically deformed in response to the force of the assembly, and then engage in the The flange 311 can not only avoid falling off, but also guide the rotation. In addition, a plurality of engaging seats 312 are formed on the flange 311. When the upper plate 10 rotates, the engaging elastic pieces 121 that enter the corresponding engaging seats 312 can be engaged, and can be adjusted slightly. The engaging seat 312 can be moved out after the force is applied by the rotation. In other words, this design produces the effect of rotating dots.

Furthermore, in this creative design, the relative rotation between the upper plate body 10 and the lower plate body 30 is restricted, including the range of rotation and the degree of change that can be provided for each rotation. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the lower plate body 30 has a convex point 33, and the upper plate body 10 has a guide groove 120. When the lower plate body 30 and the upper plate body 10 are assembled ( That is, the first connecting portion 31 is pivotally connected to the second connecting portion 12), and the convex point 33 is simultaneously inserted into the guide groove 120. Therefore, when the upper plate body 10 rotates relative to the lower plate body 30, the convex point 33 can rotate in the guide groove 120.

As mentioned above, in this embodiment, the width of the guide groove 120 is designed to be 240 degrees, and the convex point 33 cannot rotate when resisted by the end of the guide groove 120. In other words, the width of the guide groove 120 corresponds to a gripping operation range in which the upper plate 10 can rotate relative to the lower plate 30, which is 240 degrees in this embodiment. Secondly, the guide groove 120 has a plurality of dimples 122 corresponding to the convex points 33, and the dimples 122 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the guide groove 120. Similar to the arrangement of the engaging seats 312 and the engaging elastic pieces 121, when the convex point 33 rotates in the guide groove 120, a rotation point will be formed on the indentations 122. Therefore, according to the schematic diagrams of FIGS. 2A and 2B, under the design of the engaging seats 312 and the engaging elastic pieces 121 matching the convex points 33 and the indentations 122, the upper plate 10 rotates every 30 degrees. Will form a turning point.

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, and FIGS. 2A and 2B, the present creation further designs that the upper plate 10 further has a bracket seat 11 and a bracket 20, wherein the bracket seat 11 is used to accommodate the The bracket 20 is pivotally connected to a side edge 111 of the bracket base 11 with one end 21 of the bracket 20. In this embodiment, the side edge 111 of the bracket base 11 is formed as a round rod, and the end 21 of the bracket 20 is formed as a hook, which can be correspondingly locked on the round rod and can be moved around. Rotate. In this way, the support 20 can rotate relative to the support base 11 within a supporting operation range (see FIG. 5 and FIG. 6).

Of course, the design of the rotating structure of the bracket 20 is not limited to this, that is, other designs can be used to achieve similar functions. For example, a corresponding pair of pivot holes can be formed on the side edge of the bracket seat, and the two ends of the end of the bracket are each formed as a convex part, so that they can be assembled to the corresponding pivot holes to provide rotation. The application of the supporting function of the bracket 20 will be described in detail later.

Please refer to Figures 3A to 3D and Figures 4A to 4C at the same time. 3A to 3D are schematic diagrams of the operation of a gripping module 100 proposed by the creation applied to a variety of rotation situations of an object 40 to be applied; FIG. 4A is a perspective schematic diagram of FIG. 3A; FIG. 4B is a perspective schematic diagram of FIG. 3B Fig. 4C is a schematic perspective view of Fig. 4B from another perspective.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A, in this embodiment, the holding module 100 includes two holding structures 1, 1'with the same constituent elements and structural designs, and the two holding structures 1, 1' Each of the lower plates 30, 30' is arranged on the back 41 of the object 40 to be applied in a fixed manner. In detail, the arrangement of the two holding structures 1, 1'on the back 41 of the object is that the setting position of the other holding structure 1'is symmetrical to the setting position of the holding structure 1, so that the two holding structures The grip structure 1, 1'(especially the lower plate body 30, 30' that does not rotate) presents a mirror image on the back 41 of the object. Taking FIG. 3A and FIG. 4A as an example, the two upper plates 10, 10' of the two holding structures 1, 1'are aligned with each other, so that the rotation of each other will not interfere with each other, and there is a gap with the edge of the back 41 of the object. Equal distance.

Continuing from the above, the two holding structures 1, 1'are in a storage state in the state shown in Figs. 3A and 4A. When the two holding structures 1, 1'are in the storage state, the two upper plates 10, 10' do not affect the operation of the object 40 to be applied, and do not exceed a back range 410 of the back 41 of the object. The state of the two upper plates 10, 10' shown in Figs. 3A and 4A can be defined as a state where the rotation angle is 0, that is, both of them have not yet been rotated. In this embodiment, the object 40 to be applied is a mobile electronic device, such as a mobile phone, and the fixing method is an adhesive method, for example, it can be on a back 32 of the lower board 30 (see FIG. 1C and FIG. 2B) Apply glue. It should be noted that the settings of the two holding structures 1, 1'are independent, that is, their respective rotating operations can be performed separately.

Compared with the schematic diagram in which the rotation angle of FIGS. 3A and 4A is 0, the state shown in FIGS. 3B and 4B is that the two upper plate bodies 10, 10' are rotated down by 120 degrees, respectively, and the state shown in FIG. 3C is The two upper plate bodies 10, 10' are rotated upward by 90 degrees, respectively, and the state shown in FIG. 3D is the two upper plate bodies 10, 10' are respectively rotated upward by 120 degrees. In detail, due to the symmetrical arrangement of the two holding structures 1, 1', the rotation of the two upper plate bodies 10, 10' can also be symmetrical or mirrored. Therefore, a gripping operation range R1 of the gripping structure 1 shown in FIGS. 3B to 3D is a mirror image of a gripping operation range R1' of the gripping structure 1'. The user can respectively rotate the two upper plates 10, 10' within the two gripping operation ranges R1, R1' to perform a gripping operation.

Depending on the application, the rotation results shown in Figures 3B, 4B, and 4C are more suitable for horizontal mobile phone game operations, and Figure 4C further illustrates the two upper plates 10, 10' viewed from the direction of the mobile phone screen. As a result of the development, the two-grip structure 1, 1'at this time effectively becomes a kind of role and function presentation similar to the handle of a game machine. Secondly, the rotation result shown in FIG. 3C or FIG. 3D is more suitable for viewing movies or video streaming in a horizontal direction. It is understandable that since the two upper plates 10, 10' can be rotated within their respective gripping operation ranges R1, R1', the above-mentioned rotation results are only examples, and users can rotate according to actual application requirements. To a suitable angle for holding operation.

Furthermore, for shooting or self-portrait applications, the rotation results of FIGS. 3A and 4A can also provide suitable operations. However, in order to avoid blocking the lens, it is also possible to rotate only one of the upper plates 10 to the angle shown in Fig. 3C or Fig. 3D, but the other upper plate 10' does not rotate, that is, to maintain the storage of Figs. 3A and 4A The rotation angle shown in the state is 0.

Furthermore, although the two-handed operation is a more common configuration when playing horizontal mobile games, that is, two grip structures must be set at the same time, but when shooting, taking selfies or watching movies, you don’t necessarily need two. Each of the holding structures is set, but one of the holding structures can be set according to the user's holding habits (ie, left hand or right hand). In other words, the holding module 100 of the present invention may only include one holding structure. In addition, without affecting the related operations (such as taking pictures) of the object 40 (ie, mobile electronic device) to be applied, the two upper plates 10, 10' can also be rotated to different angles for storage designated by the user. state.

As mentioned above, it can be seen that the two-grip operation ranges R1, R1' of this embodiment are designed to be 240 degrees, which is corresponding to the design of the width of the guide groove 120. However, it is understandable that the concept of this creation is not limited to this, that is, in other embodiments, the guide groove and the corresponding gripping operation range can also be designed at other angles, such as 220 degrees or 270 degrees, and this It depends on the effective grip that the structural strength of the material made of it can provide and support.

On the other hand, although the holding module or holding structure of the present creation can be manufactured with only full-mechanical materials, in other embodiments, the holding module or holding structure of the present creation can also be further designed. It can provide operations such as a remote control function or a signal output function. For example, the holding structure 1 can be designed to further include a button module (not shown in the figure) and a wireless transmission module (not shown in the figure), wherein the button module is arranged on the upper board body One end portion of 10 (for example, the outer edge of the second connecting portion 12) is used for pressing by the user; and the wireless transmission module is disposed in the upper board body 10 and electrically connected to the button module. Wherein, when the button module is pressed, a control command can be generated, and a wireless control signal is transmitted to the object to be applied 40 (ie, a mobile electronic device) via the wireless transmission module.

The feature of this creation is that in addition to the gripping module 100 or the two gripping structures 1, 1'that can provide the user with a gripping operation, another feature is that when the user does not hold it by hand Next, the above-mentioned bracket 20 can be used to provide the function of supporting or resting the object 40 to be applied.

Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 at the same time. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the operation of applying the holding module 100 proposed by the creation to the object 40 to be applied and placing it horizontally; FIG. 6 is the application of the holding module 100 proposed by the creation to the application to be applied The object 40 is also shown as a schematic diagram of the operation of placing it in a straight direction.

First, as shown in Figure 5, the two brackets 20, 20' of the two holding structures 1, 1'of the present creation can be rotated within the two supporting operating ranges R2, R2', and the to-be-applied The object 40 is placed horizontally. In this embodiment, the two supporting operating ranges R2 and R2' are designed to be 105 degrees respectively. In order to achieve a more stable supporting effect, the two brackets 20, 20' can be completely rotated, that is, after the result shown in FIG. Support and standstill of the object 40 to be applied.

Secondly, as shown in FIG. 6, since the object 40 to be applied is placed in a vertical orientation at this time, it is only necessary to turn away the bracket 20 that is relatively located in the lower layer, and the other bracket 20' is stored It does not need to be opened in the bracket base 11' (see Figure 5). At the same time, the upper plate 10 is rotated to the angle shown in Fig. 3C, while the other upper plate 10' does not rotate. Similarly, in order to achieve a more stable support effect, the bracket 20 can be completely turned away and rotated to the result shown in FIG. 6, and then placed on a desktop, for example, so that the object to be applied can be completed 40 support and stand still.

The above-mentioned embodiment is illustrated and explained in a manner that a mobile electronic device or a mobile phone is used as the object 40 to be applied, but the concept of this creation is not limited to this. For example, the object to be applied can also be a protective case, and this protective case can be assembled on the applied mobile electronic device. In other words, the lower board of the holding structure of this application will not be directly fixed on the back of the mobile electronic device, but will be set on the protective case assembled with the mobile electronic device.

Or, the style of the lower plate body of this creation can be changed to directly form all or part of a protective shell. It is understandable that the lower plate of this design is an integration of a grip structure and a protective shell, and both can be manufactured using the same material and on the same production line. Therefore, the to-be-applied object of this application is a mobile electronic device, and the fixing method is an assembly method, so that the formed protective case can be assembled on the corresponding mobile electronic device.

Or, besides the gluing method, the fixing method proposed in this creation can also be completed by a magnetic attraction method. In detail, the current technology has mobile phones equipped with wireless charging function, and in order to complete the guidance and positioning between the mobile phone and the wireless charger, the back of this type of mobile phone is designed with magnetic properties, so that the wireless charger can be used. Attach to the correct charging position. Therefore, in this creation, the provided lower plate can be manufactured with paramagnetic materials, or related magnet elements can be arranged in the lower plate, or the lower plate can be fixed to another one with a larger area and On a piece of magnetic attraction, then the piece is magnetically attracted to the back of the mobile phone; in this way, it can be effectively fixed by magnetic attraction.

In summary, the grip module and its grip structure proposed in this creation have the characteristics of simple structure design and low cost, and can be installed on the applied mobile phone in a simple manner, which can effectively produce similar Roles and functions supported by game console handles or display screens. Users can turn to a suitable angle according to actual application requirements to perform one-handed or two-handed gripping operations, that is, they can perform a variety of horizontal applications including horizontal mobile games, horizontal shooting, selfies or watching videos.

Therefore, this creation can effectively solve the related problems raised in the previous technology, and can successfully achieve the main purpose of the development of this case.

Although this creation has been disclosed as above in the embodiment, it is not intended to limit this creation. Those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which this creation belongs can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this creation. Therefore, the scope of protection of this creation shall be subject to the scope of the attached patent application.
