Technical Field

The invention relates to a holder for holding a user device on a vehicle and to a vehicle.

Background

Holders for holding user equipment, such as smartphones, are known in a variety of configurations. In general, it is provided here that the user device is held on the vehicle such that an optimized viewing angle is ensured in order to be able to achieve good readability of the display screen of the user device. However, other further functionalities of the user equipment are typically limited by such an arrangement.

Disclosure of Invention

The inventive holder for holding a user device on a vehicle has the advantage of providing a particularly user-friendly and flexible holder which provides a plurality of functions. According to the invention, this is achieved by the inventive holder comprising a holding element which is designed to hold the user device and which comprises an optical deflection device. The holding element has a holding surface, in particular a flat holding surface, which forms a receiving surface for the user device. Furthermore, an optical deflection device is provided for deflecting the light beam oriented substantially perpendicularly to the holding surface.

The holder thus enables the user device to be arranged in a viewing position which is optimally visible to the user, wherein the additional functions can be used simultaneously by means of the optical deflection device. For example, the holding surface can be oriented accordingly on the vehicle for this optimized viewing position, so that preferably display elements, for example display screens, of the user device arranged parallel to the holding surface can be arranged or tilted: so that the display element can be optimally seen by the user. At the same time, the deflection device enables the use of functions of the user equipment which are no longer available or only available to a limited extent in this viewing position.

For example, the deflection means can deflect a light beam emitted by a lamp of the user equipment into a desired direction. Furthermore, a deflection device can be provided for deflecting the light beam incident from the surroundings towards the camera of the user device. In particular, for this purpose, the deflection device is arranged on the support such that the light beam oriented perpendicularly to the holding surface is deflected in the direction of travel of the vehicle or the light beam from the direction of travel of the vehicle is deflected so as to be oriented perpendicularly to the holding surface. The light and the camera of the user device can be, for example, part of an optical element of the user device, which is arranged on the side of the user device opposite the display screen. The optical deflection device allows the functionality of the user device to be used further advantageously.

The vehicle is preferably a two-or multi-wheeled vehicle, in particular a bicycle or an electric bicycle, which can be operated by means of muscle force and/or motor force. In particular, a tricycle or a quadricycle may be considered as a "multi-wheel vehicle". The support advantageously allows the user device to be used as, for example, a vehicle computer, in particular for navigation and/or for displaying driving data, wherein the light function and/or the camera function of the user device can be used simultaneously by the deflection device.

The contents of the preferred embodiments are preferred embodiments of the invention.

Preferably, the holding element has an indentation, wherein the deflection device is arranged to deflect the light beam aligned with the indentation. The indentation penetrates, in particular completely penetrates, the holding element. That is to say, the light beam which is directed perpendicularly to the holding surface and penetrates the recess is directed directly at the deflection device. This enables the deflection device to deflect the light beam, for example, in the traveling direction. The light beam impinging on the deflection device from the direction of travel is likewise preferably deflected such that it penetrates the recess in a manner oriented perpendicularly to the holding surface.

Particularly preferably, the deflection device has a reflective element which is arranged at an acute angle to the holding surface. Preferably, the reflecting element is a mirror. In particular, in the case of such a reflecting element, the angle of incidence of the light beam is equal to the angle of emergence of the reflected light beam, according to the law of reflection. The deflection of the light beam can thus be realized in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner by means of the deflection device. If only the light beam emitted by the lamp of the user device has to be deflected for the light emission function, for example, a simple reflector, which has relatively low requirements for image quality, can be used as the reflecting element, as a result of which a particularly simple and low-cost construction can be achieved.

Preferably, the acute angle is at least 10 ° and at most 85 °. Particularly preferably, the acute angle is at least 30 ° and in particular at most 70 °. Furthermore, the holding surface is preferably inclined at an acute angle of inclination, in particular at an angle of inclination of 5 ° to 30 °, to the horizontal, in order to be able to achieve a favorable viewing position of the user device.

It is further preferred that the holding element is provided for fitting at the front end of the handlebar and/or the body of a two-or multi-wheeled vehicle. For example, the holding element can have a fastening ring which allows a fastening, in particular a releasable fastening, to be carried out on the tubular element, for example the handlebar and/or the front end of the vehicle body. In particular, the retaining element thus allows the bracket to be secured within the field of view of the user of the vehicle, so that the user always has an optimized line of sight to the user device during driving.

In particular, the deflection device has a deflection element and a reflection element. The deflecting element is arranged here for directing a light beam oriented substantially perpendicularly to the holding surface to the reflecting element. Furthermore, a reflective element is provided for widening or focusing the light beam. Preferably, both the deflection element and the reflection element are configured to reflect. Preferably, the deflection element is configured as a flat mirror. Preferably, the reflecting element is a curved mirror having a convex or concave curvature to cause broadening or focusing of the light beam. In particular, the deflection device thus functions as a lens or a scattering element. Thus, when using the deflection device for deflecting a light beam emitted by the user device, the light cone of the light exiting from the deflection device into the surroundings can be advantageously adapted, so that an optimized illumination of the surroundings can be achieved. Alternatively, the deflection device can, for example, implement the function of an additional camera lens when using the camera function of the user device.

Particularly preferably, the reflective element and/or the deflection element are pivotable relative to the holding element. In this case, the orientation of the reflected light beam can be adapted in particular by pivoting. Advantageously, the inclination of the entire support relative to the horizontal can thereby be compensated.

Preferably, the support further comprises a protective glass and/or a protective grid to protect the deflection device. The protective glass and/or the protective grid provide, in particular, protection of the deflector against environmental influences, for example dirt or water. Thereby, the quality of the optical function of the deflection device can be maintained. Advantageously, it is thereby also possible to protect the user device, in particular the lights and/or the camera of the user device, which must be freely optically accessible for usability. For example, the cover glass can additionally have a coating, in particular a dirt-repellent coating, which has, for example, the so-called lotus effect, in order to ensure particularly high imaging quality in a simple manner.

Preferably, the holder further comprises a lens to widen or focus the beam. In particular, the lens is designed to be concave or convex. If the holder comprises a protective glass and/or a protective grid, the lens can preferably be integrated into the protective glass and/or the protective grid. The light beam can be adapted to the respective requirements particularly simply and inexpensively by means of the lens. For example, even if the lamps of the user device are not optimized for the headlight function, the surroundings in front of the vehicle can thus be illuminated in an optimized manner for driving operation, for example.

Preferably, the bracket further comprises a damping element to damp vibrations. The damping element can be configured and arranged in various ways. For example, the damping element can be arranged on the holding element, in particular in the region of the engagement with the vehicle, such that vibrations of the vehicle are not transmitted to the carrier or are transmitted to the carrier only to a small extent, as a result of which the user device itself can be protected primarily from damage due to vibrations. Alternatively, the damping element can be arranged, for example, between the holding element and the deflection device, so that the deflection device is protected, in particular, against the harmful effects of vibrations. This makes it possible, in particular, for the optical deflection not to be distorted by vibrations, in order to ensure a particularly high quality of the optical function of the deflection device.

Preferably, the deflection means further comprise a light conductor and/or a prism. For example, the light guide can cause a deflection of the light beam by multiple reflections in its interior. The prism can, for example, effect a deflection of the light beam by reflection and/or refraction. The light guide and/or the prism thus provide a particularly simple and cost-effective possibility for deflecting the light beam, wherein, in addition, a high robustness of the deflection device can be achieved.

Particularly preferably, the deflection device is releasably connected to the holding element. For example, when no deflection means is required, the deflection means can thereby be removed. The releasable connection can be realized in various ways, for example by means of magnets, screws, snap-on mechanisms, rails or the like.

The invention further relates to a vehicle comprising the support described. The vehicle is preferably a two-or multi-wheeled vehicle, in particular a bicycle or an electric bicycle, which can be operated by means of muscle force and/or motor force. Particularly preferably, the bracket can be fastened or already fastened at the handlebar of the vehicle.

Preferably, the vehicle further comprises a user device, which is held on the vehicle by means of a bracket. In this case, the optical elements of the user device, in particular the lamp and/or the camera, are provided for emitting and/or receiving a light beam which is directed substantially perpendicularly to the holding surface of the holder. The deflection device of the holder is provided for deflecting the light beam from the optical element in a substantially horizontal direction in front in the direction of travel or deflecting the light beam from a substantially horizontal direction in front in the direction of travel to the optical element. In particular, the user device can be arranged within the field of view of a user of the vehicle by means of the stand, so that the user has an optimized line of sight to the display screen of the user device. In this case, for example, the optical element on the side of the user device, in particular on the side of the user device opposite the display screen, is oriented towards the roadway surface or the floor of the vehicle. The deflection device of the support causes the light beam emitted by the optical element to be deflected in a direction toward the front, or the light beam received by the optical element to be deflected from the direction toward the front, in order to achieve an optimized readability of the display screen of the user device while simultaneously achieving the use of the optical element in the driving mode of the vehicle. The support therefore enables an optimized simultaneous use of the display screen and the optical element during driving operation of the vehicle, despite the different requirements of the display screen and the optical element for the orientation of the user device. Preferably, the user device can thus be used as a vehicle computer with a light-emitting function and/or a camera function at the same time.

Drawings

The present invention will be described with reference to the following examples, which are provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the figures, functionally identical components are denoted by the same reference numerals, respectively. Shown here are:

FIG. 1 is a simplified schematic illustration of a vehicle having a cradle according to a first embodiment of the invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of the cradle of FIG. 1, and

FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the stent of FIG. 1, and

fig. 3 is a schematic view of a stent according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a vehicle 10 that can be operated by means of muscle force and/or motor force. The vehicle 10 is an electric bicycle having an electric motor 13 for assisting the driver's pedaling force. The electric motor 13 is supplied with electric power from the battery 5.

The vehicle 10 includes a cradle 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of the holder 1 of the first embodiment of fig. 1, wherein the holder is shown in cross section.

The stand 1 is arranged at a handlebar 11a of the vehicle 10 and is provided for holding a user device 2, such as a smartphone. Alternatively, the bracket can also be fastened at other locations on the vehicle 10, for example on the steering tube 11b or on the upper tube 12.

It is particularly advantageous to fasten the stand 1 in the field of view of the driver of the vehicle 10, so that the user device 2 can be used, for example, as an on-board computer for displaying information, for example speed data and/or navigation data, during driving. For this purpose, the user device 2 is preferably oriented in such a way that it is arranged substantially horizontally or in such a way that it is inclined at an acute angle of inclination 30 to the horizontal and in this case toward the driver. The display 22 of the user device 2 is thus well visible to the driver. This arrangement can also be referred to as a viewing position.

The holder 1 comprises a holding element 3 configured for holding the user device 2. For this purpose, the user device 2 can be placed on a flat holding surface 31 of the holding element 3. For a secure fastening of the user device 2, the holding element 3 can have a holding arm 3a which projects from the holding surface 31 and which is provided for clamping the user device 2 in the holder 1.

Furthermore, the holding element 3 comprises a fastening ring 37, which encompasses the handlebar 11a and thus causes a fastening at the handlebar 11 a. The fastening ring 37 has an elastic material, which reduces the transmission of vibrations that can be transmitted from the handlebar 11a to the user device 2, so that the fastening ring 37 simultaneously serves as a damping element 7.

As shown in fig. 2, the holding element 3 has a recess 32 which penetrates the holding element 3. The optical element 25 of the user device 2 is arranged here flush with the recess 32. The optical element 25 comprises a camera (not shown in detail) and a lamp. Thus, the light beam 20 emitted by the lamp and the light beam 20 received by the camera can reach the optical element 25 through the notch 32. The light beam 20 extends along a first beam axis 21a, which is arranged perpendicular to the holding surface 31.

For the sake of simplicity, the following description is directed to the light beam 20 emitted by the lamp of the optical element 25. That is to say that the light beam 20 is emitted from the user device 2 into the surroundings U. It should be noted here that the following description applies analogously, of course, also to the light beam 20 received by the optical element 25, i.e. the light beam which is directed from the surroundings U towards the user device 2 and is sensed by the camera.

In order to ensure optimum readability of the display 22 of the user device 2 in the viewing position, in which the optical element 25 can be used at the same time, the support 1 comprises an optical deflection device 4. An optical deflection device 4 is located on the underside of the holding element 3 and is provided for deflecting the light beam 20. For this purpose, the deflection device 4 has a reflecting element 41, which is designed as a plane mirror and deflects the light beam 20.

The reflecting element 41 is arranged in this case in alignment with the recess 32, i.e. in such a way that the light beam 20 is directed at the reflecting element 41 in order to be reflected at it. In particular, the reflecting element 41 is arranged at an acute angle 45 relative to the holding surface 31, which acute angle is approximately 60 ° in the state shown in fig. 2.

The acute angle 45 and the inclination angle 30 are coordinated with one another in such a way that the light beam 20' deflected or reflected by the reflecting element 41 is directed forward in the direction of travel 15. The reflected light beam 20' extends along a second beam axis 21b, which is oriented substantially horizontally.

The light beam 20 can thus be deflected by the deflection device 4 in a direction towards the front in the direction of travel 15, so that it can be used to illuminate the surroundings U.

Similarly, the light beam 20 received by the camera of the optical element 25 can be deflected in such a way that, despite its downward-pointing arrangement, it can still sense the region in front of the vehicle 10 in the direction of travel 15.

Thereby, the deflection device 4 enables: in addition to good readability of the display 22 of the user device 2 during operation of the vehicle 10, at the same time the use of the optical element 25 is particularly advantageous.

Furthermore, the deflection device 4 comprises a fastening element 40, which is configured as a wedge and which is fastened on the underside of the holding element 3. Preferably, the fastening element 40 is fastened to the holding element 3 in a releasable manner, so that the deflection device 4 can be removed from the holding element 3 if this is not required.

On the front side in the direction of travel 15, the deflection device 4 has a protective glass 5, which protects the reflective element 41 and also protects the optical elements 25 of the user device 2. The protective glass 5 mainly provides protection against environmental influences, in particular against water or stone impacts.

A lens 6 is integrated into the cover glass 5, which widens the reflected light beam 20' in order to be able to generate a light cone optimized for illuminating the surroundings U.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a holder 1 according to a second embodiment of the invention. The second exemplary embodiment corresponds essentially to the first exemplary embodiment of fig. 1 and 2, with the difference being the alternative deflection device 4. In the second embodiment of fig. 3, the deflection device 4 comprises a deflection element 46 and a reflection element 47, which are arranged in a deflection space 49 of the holder 1.

Similarly to the first exemplary embodiment, the deflection element 46 has a reflection element 41, which is embodied as a plane mirror. In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, however, the deflection element 46 deflects the light beam 20 in such a way that the reflected light beam 20' is directed toward the rear, i.e., opposite to the direction of travel 15. The reflected light beam 20' is directed to a reflective element 47.

The reflective element 47 is configured as a curved mirror. The curved mirror is concave in the direction of the deflection element 46, i.e. in the direction of travel 15. The curvature of the mirror is adapted in such a way that it brings about a focusing or widening of the reflected light beam 20'. The light beam 20 ″ reflected back in this way by the reflection element 47 is again directed horizontally in the direction of travel 15 of the vehicle 10 in the forward direction.

The deflecting element 46 is arranged in a pivotable manner about a pivot axis 46a relative to the holding element 3. The pivot axis 46a is arranged transversely to the direction of travel 15. By pivoting the deflection element 46, the orientation of the reflected light beam 20' and thus also the orientation of the light beam 20 ″ reflected back by the reflection element 47 can be adapted. Advantageously, thereby, for example, when the user adjusts the inclination of the holding surface 31, a change in the inclination angle 30 can be compensated.
