Abstract

A supporting device includes a base, a fixing structure, a rotating structure, and a supporting structure. The fixing structure is mounted to the base. The rotating structure is rotatably mounted to the fixing structure. The supporting structure is configured to support a portable electronic device. The supporting structure is mounted to the rotating structure and rotates along with the rotating structure relative to the fixing structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A supporting device comprising:
a base, the base comprising a receiving portion;
a fixing structure mounted to the base, the fixing structure comprising a first conducting member, an insulating member, and a second conducting member, wherein the first conducting member is assembled to the receiving portion to conduct a first charging current, the second conducting member is configured to conduct a second charging current, the insulating member is positioned between the first conducting member and the second conducting member and is configured to isolate the first conducting member and the second conducting member;
a rotating structure rotatably mounted to the fixing structure; and
a supporting structure configured to support a portable electronic device;
wherein the supporting structure is mounted to the rotating structure and rotates along with the rotating structure relative to the fixing structure; and
wherein the rotating structure is sleeved on the second conducting member and resists the first conducting member.

2. The supporting device of claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a main body, the main body is a sucker; the receiving portion is positioned at a middle portion of a top surface of the main body and one surface of the receiving portion away from the main body defines a first mounting hole, the fixing structure is mounted in the first mounting hole.

3. The supporting device of claim 1 , wherein the first conducting member comprises a main portion and a first conducting portion, the first conducting portion is positioned at one end of the main portion and is secured in the first mounting hole; one surface of the main portion opposite to the first conducting portion defines a second mounting hole; the insulating member is mounted in the second mounting hole.

4. The supporting device of claim 3 , wherein the insulating member comprises a first insulating portion and a second insulating portion; the second insulating portion is projected from one end of the first insulating portion and is mounted in the second mounting hole; one side of the first insulating portion away from the second insulating portion defines a third mounting hole; the second conducting member comprises a head portion and a second conducting portion, the second conducting portion is positioned at one side of the head portion facing towards the insulating member and is received in the third mounting hole; the rotating structure is mounted to the head portion and resists the first conducting portion.

5. The supporting device of claim 4 , wherein the rotating structure comprises a fixing portion and a rotating portion; the rotating portion is mounted to one side of the fixing portion and is rotatably mounted to the fixing structure for resisting the main portion and rotating relative to the main portion along the head portion.

6. The supporting device of claim 5 , wherein the rotating structure further comprises a mounting portion, the mounting portion is mounted at one side of the fixing portion away from the rotating portion; a receiving hole is defined at the rotating structure and passes through the mounting portion, the fixing portion, and the rotating portion; the supporting structure is mounted to the receiving hole.

7. The supporting device of claim 6 , wherein the supporting structure comprises a first supporting member and a second supporting member; the first supporting member is assembled to the fixing portion; the second supporting member is received in the first supporting member and is coplanar with the first supporting member for cooperatively supporting the portable electronic device.

8. The supporting device of claim 7 , wherein the first supporting member comprises a holding portion, an assembling portion, and a first absorbing portion; the assembling portion is positioned on one surface of the holding portion towards the rotating structure; the assembling portion is coupled to the fixing portion; the first absorbing portion is positioned on one surface of the holding portion away from the assembling portion; a guiding hole is defined at a middle portion of the holding portion, the second supporting member is received in the guiding hole.

9. The supporting device of claim 8 , wherein the second supporting member comprises a supporting portion, a protruding portion, and a second absorbing portion; the protruding portion is positioned at one side of the supporting portion and is received in the guiding hole; the second absorbing portion is positioned on one surface of the supporting portion away from the protruding portion and is coplanar with the first absorbing portion when the second supporting member is assembled to the first supporting member.

10. The supporting device of claim 7 , wherein the fixing structure further comprises a power plate, the power plate is received in the first mounting hole and comprises a first conducting point and at least one second conducting point; the insulating member is made of an insulating material; the first conducting portion resists the at least one second conducting point; the second conducting point resists the first conducting point; the first absorbing portion is electrically connected to the at least one second conducting point through the rotating portion, the main portion, and the first conducting portion; and the second absorbing portion is electrically connected to the first conducting point through the head portion and the second conducting portion.

11. The supporting device of claim 10 , wherein a peripheral wall of the mounting portion defines a plurality of receiving slot, each receiving slot comprises a conducting plate, the conducting plate is electrically connected to the rotating portion and the first absorbing portion is electrically connected to the conducting plate when the first supporting member is mounted to the mounting portion; the second supporting member comprises an elastic member and a conducting sheet, a positioning hole is defined at an axis direction of the protruding portion, the elastic portion is received in the positioning hole with one end of the elastic portion fixed to the second absorbing portion and the other end of the elastic portion electrically connected to the conducting sheet; the conducting sheet resists the head portion.

12. A supporting device comprising:
a base, the base comprising a receiving portion;
a fixing structure mounted to the base, the fixing structure comprising a first conducting member, an insulating member, and a second conducting member, wherein the first conducting member is assembled to the receiving portion to conduct a first charging current, the second conducting member is configured to conduct a second charging current, the insulating member is positioned between the first conducting member and the second conducting member and is configured to isolate the first conducting member and the second conducting member;
a rotating structure rotatably mounted to the fixing structure; and
a supporting structure mounted to the rotating structure and configured to support and charge a portable electronic device;
wherein the rotating structure is sleeved on the second conducting member and resists the first conducting member.

13. The supporting device of claim 12 , wherein the base comprises a main body, the main body is a sucker; the receiving portion is positioned at a middle portion of the main body and one surface of the receiving portion away from the main body defines a first mounting hole, the fixing structure is mounted in the first mounting hole.
