In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: an adapter device for a mobile terminal, including: an adapter plug configured to be connected to the mobile terminal; a supporting body including a housing portion and a support portion, the adapter plug being connected to the housing portion, one end of the support portion being connected to the housing portion, and another end of the support portion being configured to be supported on a support surface; and an adapter socket connected to the supporting body.
In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure adopts the following technical solution: an adapter device for a mobile terminal, including: an adapter plug configured to be electrically connected to the mobile terminal; a supporting body including a housing portion and a support portion supporting the housing portion, the housing portion defining an inner cavity, a first opening and a second opening, the first opening and the second opening communicating with the inner cavity; a circuit board, at least part of the circuit board being located in the inner cavity; and an adapter socket located in the inner cavity, the adapter socket defining a plug hole coaxial with the second opening; wherein the adapter plug and the adapter socket are electrically connected to the circuit board; the adapter plug extends beyond the housing portion through the first opening; and wherein one end of the support portion is connected to the housing portion, and another end of the support portion is configured to be supported on a support surface.
In the case of charging the mobile terminal, the adapter device disclosed in the present disclosure can also connect an earphone plug to play audio of the mobile terminal. Through the cooperation of the support portion and the support surface, it is beneficial to provide stable support for the mobile terminal and facilitate users to watch videos.
Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail here, examples of which are shown in drawings. When referring to the drawings below, unless otherwise indicated, same numerals in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The examples described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the application as detailed in the appended claims.
The terminology used in this application is only for the purpose of describing particular embodiments, and is not intended to limit this application. The singular forms “a”, “said”, and “the” used in this application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates other meanings.
It should be understood that the terms “first”, “second” and similar words used in the specification and claims of this application do not represent any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, “an” or “a” and other similar words do not mean a quantity limit, but mean that there is at least one; “multiple” or “a plurality of” means two or more than two. Unless otherwise noted, “front”, “rear”, “lower” and/or “upper” and similar words are for ease of description only and are not limited to one location or one spatial orientation. Similar words such as “include” or “comprise” mean that elements or objects appear before “include” or “comprise” cover elements or objects listed after “include” or “comprise” and their equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects. The term “a plurality of” mentioned in the present disclosure includes two or more.
Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the case of no conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
Referring to
The supporting body 2 is an inflexible support member, which is beneficial to provide stable support for the mobile terminal 10. In the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure, the supporting body 2 is made of hard plastic, such as TPE material of type 90A.
The supporting body 2 is of a one piece configuration. The supporting body 2 can be injection-molded, which is convenient to manufacture and low in cost. Specifically, referring to
Continuing to refer to
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first opening 202 and the second opening 203 are provided on different surfaces of the housing portion 21, so as to facilitate an integrated arrangement of the adapter plug 1 and the adapter socket 3 in a narrow space. The orientations of the first opening 202 and the second opening 203 are different. An axis of the first opening 202 is perpendicular to an axis of the second opening 203. The housing portion 21 is a hollow cuboid structure. Referring to
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to
In some embodiments, the second surface 212 is perpendicular to the first surface 211. The first support section 221 is inclined from the first surface 211 to a direction close to the second surface 212. The second support section 222 is inclined from the first support section 221 to a direction away from the second surface 212. As shown in
Referring to
The adapter device further includes a circuit board 4. Both the adapter plug 1 and the adapter socket 3 are electrically connected to the circuit board 4, and the mobile terminal is charged through the adapter plug 1. The mobile terminal 10 can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer and the like. The supporting body 2 is configured to support the mobile terminal 10, so as to facilitate users to watch videos. The adapter socket 3 is connected to the supporting body 2. The adapter socket 3 can be connected to an earphone plug to play audio of the mobile terminal 10, and it is convenient to insert a wired earphone when the mobile terminal 10 is charging.
The support portion 22 has a channel communicating with the inner cavity 201. The channel is configured for a cable to pass through. One end of the cable is electrically connected to the circuit board 4 through the channel.
In some embodiments, the adapter plug 1 is a charging port or a data transmission port. The adapter socket 3 is an audio transmission port. The adapter plug 1 is mated with the mobile terminal, and is used for charging the mobile terminal or transmitting data. The adapter plug 1 cooperates with the circuit board 4 to convert the digital audio data of the mobile terminal into an analog audio signal and transmit the analog audio signal through the adapter socket 3. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the adapter plug 1 adopts a Type-C charging plug, which can be connected to a mobile phone port. Referring to
