The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail hereinafter. Examples of the embodiments are illustrated in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative, only for explaining the present disclosure, and not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure.


The present disclosure provides a screen support for supporting a to-be-supported screen.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the screen support includes a support frame 1, a first U-shaped clamp 2, and a second U-shaped clamp 3. The support frame 1 includes a first connection end 11 and a second connection end 12. The first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3 are rotatably connected to the first connection end 11 and the second connection end 12 respectively to enable the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3 to oppose each other or face a same direction, and the to-be-supported screen is pluggable into the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3. The support frame 1, first U-shaped clamp 2, and second U-shaped clamp 3 are in contact with the support surface so that the screen support can be relatively stable when placed. When the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 are disposed opposite to the jaws of the second U-shaped clamp 3, a screen with a smaller width can be placed in the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3. When the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the jaws of the second U-shaped clamp 3 face the same direction, a screen with a larger width can be placed in the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3. In this manner, another screen support is not needed to be in place, and the use experience of users is improved. Alternatively, the to-be-supported screen is a mobile phone or a tablet computer. Of course, the to-be-supported screen may be another screen, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment.


Further, a first universal ball 13 is disposed on the first connection end 11 of the support frame 1. A first interface assembly 21 is disposed on the first U-shaped clamp 2. The first universal ball 13 is rotatably disposed in the first interface assembly 21. A second universal ball 14 is disposed on the second connection end 12 of the support frame 1. A second interface assembly 31 is disposed on the second U-shaped clamp 3. The second universal ball 14 is rotatably disposed in the second interface assembly 31. In this manner, the position of the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the opening angle of the jaws relative to the support frame 1 can be adjusted arbitrarily, and the position of the jaws of the second U-shaped clamp 3 and the opening angle of the jaws relative to the support frame 1 can be adjusted arbitrarily. Thus, after the to-be-supported screen is plugged into the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3, the inclination angle of the to-be-supported screen relative to the support frame 1 can be adjusted, and users' requirements for the tilt angle of the support screen are satisfied.


Specifically, the first interface assembly 21 includes a first screw cover 211, and multiple first arc-shaped plates 212 disposed in a round on the first U-shaped clamp 2, the first universal ball 13 is embeddable in the multiple first arc-shaped plates 212, and the first screw cover 211 is configured to be screwed outside the multiple first arc-shaped plates 212 to clamp the first universal ball 13. Therefore, the adjustment of the first screw cover 211 enables the multiple first arc-shaped plates 212 to clamp or loosen the first universal ball 13 to achieve the locking or rotation of the first universal ball 13. The second interface assembly 31 includes a second screw cover, and multiple second arc-shaped plates disposed in a round on the second U-shaped clamp 3, the second universal ball 14 is embeddable in the multiple second arc-shaped plates, and the second screw cover is configured to be screwed outside the multiple second arc-shaped plates to clamp the second universal ball 14. Therefore, the adjustment of the second screw cover enables the multiple second arc-shaped plates to clamp or loosen the second universal ball 14 to achieve the locking or rotation of the second universal ball 14.


Multiple first arc-shaped bumps 22 are disposed in a round on the first U-shaped clamp 2 and surrounded by the multiple first arc-shaped plates 212. The curved surface of the first universal ball 13 is configured to fit and abut against the curved surface of each first arc-shaped bump 22. In this manner, the position of the first universal ball 13 relative to the first U-shaped clamp 2 can be positioned. Multiple second arc-shaped bumps 22 are disposed in a round on the second U-shaped clamp 3 and surrounded by the multiple second arc-shaped plates. The curved surface of the second universal ball 14 is configured to fit and abut against the curved surface of each second arc-shaped bump. In this manner, the position of the second universal ball 14 relative to the second U-shaped clamp 3 can be positioned. Additionally, the impact on the installation of the support screen on the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3 due to movements of the centers of the first universal ball 13 and the second universal ball 14 during rotation is avoided.


Further, the support frame 1 includes a first connection section 15, a second connection section 16, and a transverse connection section 17. Two ends of the transverse connection section 17 are connected to the first connection section 15 and the second connection section 16 respectively so that the support frame 1 forms a U-shaped structure, and a free end of the first connection section 15 and a free end of the second connection section 16 are the first connection end 11 and the second connection end 12, respectively. In this manner, the support capacity of the support frame 1 can be improved by the U-shaped structure of the support frame 1, and the screen support is prevented from toppling after the to-be-supported screen is installed. Alternatively, the wire notch 171 are disposed on the transverse connection section 17. The wire connected to the to-be-supported screen can be clamped in the wire notch 171 to fix and clamp the wire, and the use experience of users is thus improved.


Specifically, a first stepped portion 151 is disposed on the first connection section 15, a second stepped portion 161 is disposed on the second connection section 16, one end of the to-be-supported screen is configured to abut against the first stepped portion 151 and the second stepped portion 161, and another end of the to-be-supported screen is configured to abut against the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3 so that the to-be-supported screen is obliquely disposed with respect to the support frame 1. In this manner, the to-be-supported screen can be supported by the first stepped portion 151, the second stepped portion 161, the first U-shaped clamp 2, and the second U-shaped clamp 3. Moreover, the to-be-supported screen can be laid down, which is convenient for a user to operate on the screen surface of the to-be-supported screen. Alternatively, the inclination angle of the to-be-supported screen with respect to the support frame 1 is in the range of 15° to 45° so that most customers' requirements for the tilt angle of the support screen are satisfied. The inclination angle of the to-be-supported screen relative to the support frame 1 is adjusted by the adjustment of the top heights of the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3.


Further, a first support column 23 is disposed on the first U-shaped clamp 2, and a second support column 32 is disposed on the second U-shaped clamp 3. When the jaws of the first U-shaped clamp 2 are disposed opposite to the jaws of the second U-shaped clamp 3, the first support column 23 and the second support column 32 are disposed in the same direction, and the sidewall of the first support column 23 and the sidewall of the second support column 32 are configured to abut against the to-be-supported screen. Thus, the first support column 23 and the second support column 32 can provide auxiliary support for the to-be-supported screen and improve the stability of the to-be-supported screen installed on the screen support. When one end of the to-be-supported screen abuts against the first stepped portion 151 and the second stepped portion 161, another end of the to-be-supported screen can be lifted up by the first support column 23 and the second support column 32, thereby further adjusting the inclination angle of the to-be-supported screen relative to the support frame 1. At the same time, both the first U-shaped clamp 2 with the first support column 23 and the second U-shaped clamp 3 with the second support column 32 can form a human-hand structure so that the overall aesthetics of the screen support can be improved. Alternatively, the support frame 1 is a plastic frame, and the first U-shaped clamp 2 and the second U-shaped clamp 3 are plastic clamps. Thus, the support frame 1, the first U-shaped clamp 2, and the second U-shaped clamp 3 all have elasticity to prevent the screen support from falling and being damaged after being impacted.


Apparently, the preceding embodiments of the present disclosure are examples for clearly illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the implementations of the present disclosure. For those of ordinary skill in the art, changes or alterations in other different forms may also be made based on the preceding description.
