Abstract

A mounting bracket includes a connecting frame and a holding mechanism. The holding mechanism includes a first clamping member rotatably connected to the connecting frame and a second clamping member slidably mounted on the first clamping member. The first clamping member includes a first clamping part. The second clamping member includes a second clamping part. The first clamping member further includes a third clamping part rotatably disposed between the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A remote controller comprising:
a remote controller body;
a control stick provided on the remote controller body; and
a bracket mounted on the remote controller body, the bracket comprising:
a connecting frame; and
a holding mechanism comprising:
a first clamping member rotatably connected to the connecting frame and comprising a first clamping part; and
a second clamping member comprising a second clamping part, the second clamping member being slidably mounted on the first clamping member;
wherein the first clamping member further comprises a third clamping part rotatably disposed between the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

2. A mounting bracket, comprising:
a connecting frame; and
a holding mechanism comprising:
a first clamping member rotatably connected to the connecting frame and comprising a first clamping part; and
a second clamping member comprising a second clamping part, the second clamping member being slidably mounted on the first clamping member;

wherein the first clamping member further comprises a third clamping part rotatably disposed between the first clamping part and the second clamping part.

3. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the third clamping part comprises one or more clamping hooks.

4. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the third clamping part is disposed along an edge of the first clamping member.

5. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the first clamping part and the second clamping part are configured to provide a first clamping space for accommodating a device, and wherein the second clamping part and the third clamping part are configured to provide a second clamping space that is different than the first clamping space.

6. The mounting bracket of claim 5 , wherein the third clamping part is configured to rotate between a first position and a second position, the first clamping space is provided when the third clamping part is at the first position, and the second clamping space is provided when the third clamping part is at the second position.

7. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the first clamping member further comprises a groove configured to accommodate the third clamping part.

8. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the connecting frame forms an accommodating space, and the accommodating space is configured to at least partially accommodate the holding mechanism.

9. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the mounting bracket is configured to be releasably mountable to a remote controller.

10. The mounting bracket of claim 9 , wherein the connecting frame comprises a fastening shaft and a fastening sleeve sheathed on the fastening shaft, and the fastening shaft is configured to be inserted into a locating hole of a remote controller body, connecting outer threads are formed on an end of the fastening sleeve which is close to the remote controller body, and the connecting outer threads are configured to be screwed with the locating hole of the remote controller body.

11. The mounting bracket of claim 10 , wherein the fastening shaft comprises a connecting end and a limiting end formed at one end of the connecting end, the limiting end is configured to be inserted into the locating hole of the remote controller body, the fastening sleeve is provided with a through hole in an axial direction and rotatably sheathed outside the connecting end via the through hole, and a size of the through hole is larger than an outer diameter of the connecting end and is smaller than an outer diameter of the limiting end.

12. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the holding mechanism further comprises an elastic member, one end of the elastic member being connected to the first clamping member and another end of the elastic member being connected to the second clamping member, and the elastic member being configured to provide a restoring force of movement for a relative sliding between the first and second clamping members.

13. The mounting bracket of claim 2 , wherein the first clamping member further comprises a first housing and a second housing snap-fitted with the first housing, and the third clamping part is rotatably connected to the first housing or/and the second housing.

14. The mounting bracket of claim 13 , further comprising a limiter provided on the first clamping member, the second clamping member further comprises a limiting part, and the limiter is fitted with the limiting part and configured to limit a relative sliding position of the first and second clamping members.

15. The mounting bracket of claim 14 , wherein the first clamping part and the limiter are provided on the second housing, and
the second clamping member is slidably accommodated between the first housing and the second housing.

16. The mounting bracket of claim 14 , wherein the limiter is rotatably provided on the second housing and is configured to be separated from the limiting part in response to the limiter being pressed or to be snapped with the limiting part in response to the limiter being released.

17. The mounting bracket of claim 14 , wherein:
the limiting part includes a sawtooth rack, and
the limiter includes a rotating stir wheel, one end of the limiter being snapped with the sawtooth rack and another end of the limiter being an operating end.

18. The mounting bracket of claim 14 , wherein the holding mechanism further comprises a pressing member provided on the second housing and configured to drive the limiter to rotate in response to the pressing member being pressed or released.

19. The mounting bracket of claim 14 , wherein:
the limiter further comprises an elastic member configured to provide a restoring force of rotation to the limiter.

20. The mounting bracket of claim 13 , further comprising:
a meshing member rotatably provided on the first housing;
a meshing part meshing with the meshing member and provided on the second clamping member.
