Abstract

A mounting structure for connecting an electronic device to a mounting surface is provided. The mounting structure includes a mounting base, a linkage, and a bracket. The first end of the linkage pivots on the mounting base. The bracket is rotatably connected to the second end of the linkage, wherein the bracket includes a cable receiving groove. The electronic device is disposed on the bracket. The electronic device includes a cable. At least a portion of the cable extends into the cable receiving groove.

Claims (10)

1. A mounting structure, for connecting an electronic device to a mounting surface, comprising:

a mounting base;

a linkage, wherein a first end of the linkage pivots on the mounting base; and

a bracket, rotatably connected a second end of the linkage, wherein the bracket comprises a cable receiving groove, the electronic device is disposed on the bracket, the electronic device comprises a cable, and at least a portion of the cable extends into the cable receiving groove,

wherein the bracket comprises an annular body, a first positioning post, and a second positioning post, the cable receiving groove is formed on a first body side of the annular body, the first positioning post and the second positioning post are disposed on a second body side of the annular body, the first positioning post is affixed to the annular body, and the second positioning post is slidably connected to the annular body.

2. The mounting structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an omnidirectional joint, wherein the omnidirectional joint is disposed on the second end of the linkage, and the bracket is rotated relative to the linkage by the omnidirectional joint.

3. The mounting structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a plurality of restriction portions, the restriction portions correspond to the cable receiving groove, the restriction portions are connected to the annular body, a plurality of openings are formed on the annular body, the openings are communicated to the cable receiving groove, wherein the cable enters the cable receiving groove via one of the openings, extending in the cable receiving groove, restricted by at least one of the restriction portions and extends out of the cable receiving groove through another opening.

4. The mounting structure as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the electronic device comprises a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, wherein in a first assembled state, the first positioning post corresponds to the first positioning hole and the second positioning post corresponds to the second positioning hole, wherein in a second assembled state, the first positioning post corresponds to the second positioning hole, and the second positioning post corresponds to the first positioning hole.

5. The mounting structure as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first positioning hole comprises a first major area and two first minor areas, the first minor areas are communicated to the first major area, the second positioning hole comprises a second major area and two second minor areas, the second minor areas are communicated to the second major area, and the first major area and the second major area are on a base line, the first minor areas are symmetrically located on both sides of the base line, and the second minor areas are symmetrically located on both sides of the base line.

6. The mounting structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bracket further comprises a spring and a moveable plate, one end of the spring abuts the annular body, the other end of the spring abuts the moveable plate, the movable plate is connected to the second positioning post, the moveable plate is adapted to push the second positioning post between a first post position and a second post position.
