Abstract

A bracket of a robot demonstrator for supporting a tablet computer is disclosed. The bracket includes a bar linkage assembly, a first clamping member pivoted with the bar linkage assembly, and a second clamping member positioned opposite to the first clamping member and pivoted with the bar linkage assembly. A distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member can be adjusted via adjusting a length of the bar linkage assembly for clamping and supporting the tablet computer.

Claims

1. A bracket for supporting a tablet computer used in a robot demonstrator, the bracket comprising:

a bar linkage assembly;

a first clamping member pivotably coupled to the bar linkage assembly; and

a second clamping member positioned opposite to the first clamping member and pivotably coupled to the bar linkage assembly, wherein a distance between the first clamping member and the second clamping member can be adjusted via adjusting a length of the bar linkage assembly for clamping and supporting the tablet computer.

2. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the bar linkage assembly comprises a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a adjusting member, the first connecting rod defines a first adjustable hole and is pivotably coupled to the first clamping member, the second connecting rod defines a second adjustable hole, the second connecting rod is pivotably coupled to the second clamping member, the adjusting member passes through the second adjustable hole and the first adjustable hole and fixed with the first connecting rod for adjusting the length of the bar linkage assembly.

3. The bracket of claim 2, wherein the first clamping member comprises a mounting portion and a clamping portion coupled to the mounting portion, the clamping portion comprises two separate supporting slices protruding from the mounting portion, the two supporting slices cooperative form a first positioning groove for receiving a first corner portion of the tablet computer, and the second clamping member defines a second positioning groove for receiving a second portion of the tablet computer.

4. The bracket of claim 2, wherein a fixing portion protrudes from the first connecting rod around an edge of each first adjustable hole, the adjusting member passes through the second adjustable hole and the first adjustable hole and fixed with the fixing portion.

5. The bracket of claim 3, further comprising an internet communication wire, a connecting head protrudes from an inner side surface of the first positioning groove, and the connecting head is configured for electrically coupling to the tablet computer and the internet communication wire.

6. The bracket of claim 5, where the bracket further comprises a stop button, a manual button, and a transmitting wire, the stop button and a manual button are mounted on the mounting portion, the transmitting wire is electrically coupled between the stop button and a manual button.

7. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the bracket further comprises a charging wire for electrically coupling with the tablet computer and an outer power source for charging.

8. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the first connecting rod further comprises a penetrating portion positioned adjacent to the first clamping member, the bracket further comprises a wrist band, and the wrist band passes through the penetrating portion.

9. A robot demonstrator, comprising:

a tablet computer;

a bracket supporting the tablet computer, the bracket comprising;

a bar linkage assembly;
