Patent Application
20170151914
The subject matter herein generally relates to an automobile data recorder with a detachable display.
An automobile data recorder is generally used in an automobile to record driving conditions outside the automobile. A display of the automobile data recorder is always positioned vertically in the automobile no matter if the automobile is moving or not.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape or other word that substantially modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, substantially cylindrical means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The bracket 10 can include a base 11 and an operation board 13 secured to the base 11.
The base 11 defines a receiving recess 101 configured to receive the display 20.
The receiving recess 101 has a bottom wall 102, a rear wall 103, and two sidewalls 105. In at least one embodiment, the bottom wall 102 is substantially perpendicular to the rear wall 103 and each sidewall 105, and the rear wall 103 is substantially perpendicular to each sidewall 105. The rear wall 103 defines two positioning slots 1031, two latching slots 1033, and a receiving slot 1035. A protrusion 1051 extends from each sidewall 105 towards the other sidewall 105. A plurality of electronic assemblies, such as circuit board and storage, is secured to the base under the receiving recess 101.
The operation board 13 has a plurality of operation buttons 131 configured to handle the display 20. The receiving recess 101 extends through the operation board 10. The bottom wall 102 defines two positioning holes 1021, two latching holes 1023, and a coupling slot 1025. The positioning holes 1021, latching holes 1023, and coupling slot 1025 are adjacent to the operation board 13. The operation board 13 defines a holding slot 133 communicating with the receiving recess 101. The holding slot 133 has a holding surface 1331 and two opposite limiting surfaces 1332. In at least one embodiment, each holding surface 1331 and the limiting surface 1332 is substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall 102, and each limiting surface 1332 is substantially perpendicular to the holding surface 1331.
When the display 20 is not used, the display 20 is moved upwards via the block 25 until the display 20 is disengaged from the bracket 10. The display 20 is turned until a screen (not shown) of the display 20 faces the bottom wall 102. The display 20 is moved to align with the receiving recess 101, and the protrusion 1051 is slidably received in the sliding slot 211. The display 20 is moved towards the rear wall 103, until the positioning post is received in the positioning slot 1031, the latching portion 233 is engaged in the latching slot 1033, and the connector 235 is received in the receiving slot 1035. The protrusion 1051 abuts an end of the sliding slot 211. In this position, the display 20 is located in an idle position; the display 20 is completely received in the receiving recess 101, preventing the dust from adhering on the screen.
When the display 20 is moved from idle position to being used, the block 25 is handled to disengage the display 20 from the base 11. The display 20 is slid out of the receiving recess 101 and can be installed in the usable position.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of an automobile data recorder with detachable display. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including in matters of shape, size and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure up to, and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
