Magnetic connectors, protective housings, and vehicle mounts

Abstract

This application provides a magnetic connector, a protective case, and a vehicle mount. The magnetic connector consists of a movable part and a fixed part arranged side by side. The magnetic connector can be connected to a mobile phone accessory through the connecting part of the fixed part. The first magnetic part of the fixed part and the second magnetic part of the movable part are magnetically attracted to the mobile phone to magnetically fix the mobile phone to the mobile phone accessory. Since the movable part is movable relative to the fixed part, when the mobile phone is removed from the mobile phone accessory, the magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and the second magnetic part causes the movable part to move relative to the fixed part. This makes it easy to remove the mobile phone from the mobile phone accessory by overcoming the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic part, or the movement of the movable part relative to the fixed part changes the magnetic attraction of the magnetic connector, making it easier to remove the mobile phone from the mobile phone accessory. This invention ensures a strong magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and the mobile phone accessory while solving the problem of difficulty in removing the mobile phone from the mobile phone accessory.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of magnetic attraction technology, and in particular to a magnetic connector, a protective shell, and a vehicle mount. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most users rely on their mobile phones for navigation while driving. The phone is usually fixed to the center console using a car mount. The phone is magnetically attached to the car mount, allowing users to easily attach the magnetically attached phone to the car mount with one hand.

[0003] Because vehicles shake violently when encountering bumpy roads, a car mount was designed to prevent phones from detaching due to this shaking. Compared to normal use, the magnetic force between the phone and the mount was increased to ensure a secure magnetic attachment. However, this also introduces another problem: the stronger magnetic force requires more effort to separate the phone from the mount, making it more difficult and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Since most mobile phone accessories nowadays have magnetic functions, these accessories include not only car mounts but also wireless chargers, desktop stands, and protective cases. For example, in order to make the desktop stand firmly magnetically fixed to the back of the phone, the magnetic force between the desktop stand and the phone is generally increased. As a result, when the desktop stand is separated from the phone, the user also needs to pull the desktop stand hard, which is difficult to remove and leads to a poor user experience.

[0005] Therefore, in order to retain the convenient magnetic fixation method, and at the same time without losing the stable magnetic fixation capability between the mobile phone accessory and the mobile phone, a brand-new magnetic connection device will be proposed. When this magnetic connection device is applied to the mobile phone accessory, it will overcome the problem of difficulty in removing the mobile phone from the accessory. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a magnetic connector, a protective shell, and a vehicle mount.

[0007] In a first aspect, this application proposes a magnetic connector, including a fixed member and a movable member, wherein the fixed member and the movable member are arranged side by side, and the movable member can move relative to the fixed member. The fixed member includes a first magnetic element and a connecting portion, the connecting portion being used to connect with a first object. The movable member includes a second magnetic element, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element being used to magnetically connect with a second object to connect the second object to the magnetic connector. When the second object is separated from the magnetic connector, the fixed member is separated from the second object, and the movable member moves a preset distance with the second object under the action of the second magnetic element.

[0008] Secondly, this application also proposes a protective shell, including a main body and a magnetic connector as described above, wherein the fixing member is connected to the main body through the connecting portion, the fixing member is fixed relative to the main body, and the movable member is movable relative to the main body.

[0009] Thirdly, this application proposes a vehicle mount, including a mount connector, a housing, a support member, and a magnetic connector as described above. The housing is sleeved around the support member, and the support member is movable relative to the housing. The housing is the fixed member, the support member is the movable member, and the mount connector is connected to the housing through the connecting part.

[0010] In summary, this application provides a magnetic connector, a protective case, and a car mount. The magnetic connector consists of a fixed part and a movable part arranged side by side. The magnetic connector can be connected to a mobile phone accessory through the connecting part of the fixed part. The first magnetic part of the fixed part and the second magnetic part of the movable part are magnetically attracted to the mobile phone to fix the mobile phone to the mobile phone accessory. Because the movable part can move relative to the fixed part, when the mobile phone is removed from the mobile phone accessory, the magnetic force between the mobile phone and the second magnetic part causes the movable part to move relative to the fixed part. This makes it easy to remove the mobile phone from the mobile phone accessory by overcoming the magnetic force of the second magnetic part, or the movement of the movable part relative to the fixed part changes the magnetic force of the magnetic connector. For example, when the magnetic connector is connected to a car mount, since the car body generally shakes up and down or left and right, the movable part can move in a different direction relative to the fixed part than the direction of shaking. The shaking will not cause the movable part to move with the mobile phone, and the mobile phone can still be firmly magnetically fixed to the car mount. This invention ensures a strong magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and its accessories, while also solving the problem of the difficulty in detaching the mobile phone from its accessories.

[0031] Before describing the embodiments in detail, it should be understood that this application is not limited to the detailed structures or element arrangements described below or in the accompanying drawings. This application can be implemented in other ways. Furthermore, it should be understood that the wording and terminology used herein are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as limiting. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and similar expressions used herein mean to include the items listed thereafter, their equivalents, and other additional items. In particular, when describing "an element," this application does not limit the number of elements to one, but may include multiple elements.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 10This application provides a magnetic connector 10, which is used on mobile phone accessories, including car mounts, desktop stands, protective cases, wireless chargers, etc. The magnetic connector 10 includes a fixed member 20 and a movable member 30, arranged side-by-side. The fixed member 20 is movable relative to the movable member 30. The fixed member 20 includes a first magnetic element 22 and a connecting portion 201, which is used to connect with a first object. The connecting portion 201 can be an adhesive, threaded, snap-fit, or riveted structure, etc. The movable member 30 includes a second magnetic element 32. When the first magnetic element 22 and the second magnetic element 32 are used to magnetically connect with a second object, the second object is connected to the magnetic connector 10. When the second object is separated from the magnetic connector 10, the fixed member 20 separates from the second object, and the movable member 30 moves with the second object to a preset distance under the action of the second magnetic element 32. Here, "first object" and "second object" refer to mobile phone accessories and electronic devices. Mobile phone accessories include car mounts, desktop stands, protective cases, wireless chargers, etc., while electronic devices include mobile phones and tablets. "Parallel arrangement" means that the first two are arranged in a line along a certain direction. For example, in the horizontal direction, the fixed part 20 is located to the left or right of the movable part 30; or in the vertical direction, the movable part 30 is stacked above or below the fixed part 20. The movable part 30 being movable relative to the fixed part 20 means that the movable part 30 can change its parallel arrangement state by moving relative to the fixed part 20 to facilitate the separation of mobile phone accessories. Both the first magnetic part 22 and the second magnetic part 32 are magnetic or electromagnetic structures.

[0033] The magnetic connector 10 can be connected to the mobile phone accessory via the connecting part 201 of the fixing member 20. The first magnetic element 22 of the fixing member 20 and the second magnetic element 32 of the movable member 30 are magnetically attracted to the mobile phone, thus magnetically fixing the mobile phone to the mobile phone accessory. Because the movable member 30 can move relative to the fixing member 20, when the mobile phone is detached from the mobile phone accessory, the magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and the second magnetic element 32 causes the movable member 30 to move relative to the fixing member 20. This makes it easier to detach the mobile phone from the mobile phone accessory by overcoming the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic element 32, or by changing the magnetic attraction of the magnetic connector 10. For example, when the magnetic connector 10 is connected to a car mount, since the car body generally shakes up and down or left and right, the movable member 30 can move in a different direction relative to the fixing member 20 than the direction of shaking. The shaking will not cause the movable member 30 to move with the mobile phone, and the mobile phone can still be firmly magnetically fixed to the car mount. This invention ensures a strong magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and its accessories, while also solving the problem of the difficulty in detaching the mobile phone from its accessories.

[0034] To illustrate the difference between existing technology and this embodiment, an example is provided here. For instance, to ensure that the mobile phone can be securely magnetically fixed to the car mount while the car is in motion, the magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and the car mount needs to reach 20N (this value is for illustrative purposes only and is not a real value in actual situations). When using existing magnet solutions, a pulling force greater than 20N needs to be applied to the mobile phone to remove it from the car mount. However, the car mount uses the magnetic connector 10 in this embodiment. The magnetic force of the magnetic connector 10 is provided by the first magnetic element 22 and the second magnetic element 32. For example, the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic element 22 and the mobile phone is 10N, and the magnetic force between the second magnetic element 32 and the mobile phone is 10N. Therefore, only a pulling force greater than 10N is needed to separate the mobile phone from the car mount, which saves half the effort.

[0035] Furthermore, the fixing member 20 also includes a first main member 21, a first magnetic member 22 disposed on the first main member 21, and a connecting part 201 connected to the first main member 21. The movable member 30 also includes a second main member 31, and a second magnetic member 32 disposed on the second main member 31.

[0036] In the first embodiment, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first magnetic component 22 is fixedly connected to the first main component 21. When the magnetic connector 10 is applied to the accessory, the first main component 21 is fixedly connected to the accessory, or the first magnetic component 22 is fixedly connected to the accessory. This ensures that the first magnetic component and the first main component 21 are fixed relative to the accessory. When the mobile phone is fixed to the accessory by magnetic attraction and the mobile phone is moved away from the accessory, the mobile phone will not affect the stability of the first magnetic component 22 relative to the accessory.

[0037] Alternatively, the second magnetic component 32 is fixedly connected to the second main component 31. When the magnetic connector 10 is applied to the accessory, the first magnetic component 22 and the first main component 21 are fixed relative to the accessory. When the mobile phone is magnetically fixed to the accessory and the mobile phone is moved away from the accessory, the movement of the mobile phone will drive the second magnetic component 32 and the second main component 31 to move relative to the first magnetic component 22 through magnetic force, so that the second main component 31 moves relative to the first main component 21 more smoothly.

[0038] Furthermore, the first magnetic component 22 is fixedly connected to the first main component 21, and the second magnetic component 32 is fixedly connected to the second main component 31, so that the second main component 31 and the second magnetic component 32 can move more smoothly relative to the first magnetic component 22 and the first main component 21.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first main component 21 is recessed with a first mounting groove 211, and the first magnetic component 22 is disposed in the first mounting groove 211.

[0040] Alternatively, the second main component 31 is recessed with a second mounting groove 311, and the second magnetic component 32 is disposed in the second mounting groove 311.

[0041] Furthermore, the first main component 21 is recessed with a first mounting groove 211, and the first magnetic component 22 is disposed in the first mounting groove 211. The second main component 31 is recessed with a second mounting groove 311, and the second magnetic component 32 is disposed in the second groove. This separates the first magnetic component 22 and the second magnetic component 32, preventing the first magnetic component 22 and the second magnetic component 32 from being magnetically attracted to each other and sticking together, so as to ensure that the second main component 31 can move normally relative to the first main component 21.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first main component 21 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 23 on the side near the second main component 31, and the second main component 31 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 33 on the side near the first main component 21. In the direction in which the movable component 30 moves relative to the fixed component 20, the second limiting protrusion 33 is located below the first limiting protrusion 23. When the first limiting protrusion 23 contacts the second limiting protrusion 33, the movable component 30 stops moving relative to the fixed component 20. Specifically, after the second main component 31 moves a certain distance in the direction in which the movable component 30 moves relative to the fixed component 20, the first limiting protrusion 23 and the second limiting protrusion 33 come into contact with each other to prevent the second main component 31 from continuing to move relative to the first main component 21 and causing the second main component 31 to detach from the first main component 21.

[0043] Furthermore, the magnetic connector 10 also includes a carrier 41. The carrier 41 is located on the side away from the first limiting protrusion 23 from the second limiting protrusion 33 and is connected to the first main component 21. The carrier 41 and the first limiting protrusion 23 form an active space 411. The second limiting protrusion 33 can move within the active space 411. When the mobile phone is magnetically fixed to the accessory, the second limiting protrusion 33 disengages from the first limiting protrusion 23 and is positioned close to the carrier 41. When the mobile phone is separated from the accessory, the internal magnetic structure of the mobile phone magnetically attracts the second magnetic component 32 and drives the second main component 31 to move, so that the magnetic force between the mobile phone and the first magnetic component 22 weakens. When the first limiting protrusion 23 contacts the second limiting protrusion 33, the second main component 31 and the second magnetic component 32 are fixed relative to the first main component 21. The mobile phone continues to move away from the accessory. It is only necessary to overcome the magnetic attraction between the internal magnetic structure of the mobile phone and the second magnetic component 32 to completely separate the mobile phone from the magnetic connector 10.

[0044] Furthermore, the magnetic connector includes a functional component 42, which is disposed on the side of the second limiting protrusion 33 away from the first limiting protrusion 23 and is fixedly connected to the first main component 21. The functional component 42 is at least partially disposed corresponding to the second magnetic component 32. The functional component 42 is an iron sheet or a magnet. When the second magnetic component 32 is not magnetically attracted to the magnetic structure on other accessories or the internal magnetic structure of the mobile phone, the second magnetic component 32 can be magnetically attracted to the functional component 42 to prevent the second main component 31 from shaking relative to the first main component 21. Specifically, when the functional component 42 is an iron sheet, the functional component 42 spans across the first magnetic component 22 and the second magnetic component 32 to isolate the first magnetic component 22 and the second magnetic component 32 from magnetic forces, reducing the magnetic force on the side of the functional component 42 away from the first magnetic component 22 and the second magnetic component 32.

[0045] like Figures 6 to 10 As shown, in the second embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment is that: the support member 41 is connected to the first main member 21, and the support member 41 and the first main member 21 together form a receiving groove 412. The movable member 30 can be movably housed in the receiving groove 412, and a part of the second main member 31 can extend out of the support member 41 from the opening of the receiving groove 412. At the same time, the second main member 31 can move smoothly in the receiving groove 412 relative to the first main member 21 in the vertical direction, and when the second main member 31 moves in the vertical direction relative to the first main member 21, the first main member 21 can avoid excessive horizontal displacement relative to the second main member 31.

[0046] Furthermore, the side of the second main component 31 away from the first main component 21 is connected to a first limiting protrusion 23, and the side wall of the receiving groove 412 away from the first main component 21 is connected to a second limiting protrusion 33. There is a movable space 411 between the second limiting protrusion 33 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 412. The first limiting protrusion 23 can move within the movable space 411. In the direction in which the movable component 30 moves relative to the fixed component 20, when the first limiting protrusion 23 contacts the second limiting protrusion 33, the movable component 30 stops moving relative to the fixed component 20. Specifically, after the second main component 31 moves a certain distance in the vertical direction relative to the first main component 21, the first limiting protrusion 23 contacts the second limiting protrusion 33, thus preventing the second main component 31 from continuing to move relative to the first main component 21 and causing the second main component 31 to detach from the first main component 21.

[0047] In the first and second embodiments, references Figure 4The upper surface of the second main component 31 protrudes relative to the upper surface of the first main component 21, and the height difference between the upper surface of the second main component 31 and the upper surface of the first main component 21 is H, where 0 < H ≤ 5 mm. Specifically, when the second main component 31 moves relative to the first main component 21 from the lower surface to the upper surface until the second main component 31 is fixed relative to the first main component 21, the height difference H between the upper surface of the second main component 31 and the upper surface of the first main component 21 also satisfies 0 < H ≤ 5 mm. When the main component 31 moves relative to the first main component 21 from the upper surface to the lower surface until the second main component 31 is fixed relative to the first main component 21, the solidity difference H between the upper surface of the second main component 31 and the upper surface of the first main component 21 also satisfies 0 < H ≤ 5 mm. This ensures that when the phone is magnetically attached to the accessory, the second main component 31 contacts the back of the phone, while the first main component 21 does not contact the back of the phone. This reduces the contact area between the magnetic connector 10 applied to the accessory and the back of the phone, making it easier to pry the phone away from the accessory.

[0048] In the first and second embodiments, references Figure 4 The distance between adjacent first magnetic element 22 and second magnetic element 32 is L, where 0.5mm≤L≤3mm. When L satisfies 0.5mm≤L≤3mm, the mobile phone and the second magnetic element 32 are magnetically attracted to each other, and the second magnetic element 32 moves a certain distance relative to the first magnetic element 22 in the direction from the lower surface to the upper surface (upward). There is a drop between the second magnetic element 32 and the first magnetic element 22. When the mobile phone is separated from the magnetic connector 10, the first magnetic element 22 provides a magnetic attraction force to the second magnetic element 32, causing the second magnetic element 32 to pull downward. The second magnetic element 32 can automatically move downward and reset.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, in the first and second embodiments, both the fixing member 20 and the movable member 30 are ring-shaped. Specifically, the first main member 21 and the second main member 31 are both ring-shaped. The first main member 21 surrounds the second main member 31. The movable member 30 can move relative to the fixing member 20 in the axial direction of the first main member 21. In this structure, when the magnetic connector 10 is applied to the accessory, the first magnetic member 22 and the first main member 21 are fixed relative to the accessory, while the second magnetic member 32 and the second main member 31 can move together relative to the accessory. Specifically, the mobile phone is magnetically fixed to the accessory by the magnetic connector 10. When the mobile phone moves away from the accessory, the mobile phone moves the movable member 30 a certain distance relative to the fixing member 20 in the axial direction of the first main member 21 by magnetic force. After the movable member 30 remains stationary relative to the first main member 21, the mobile phone can be separated from the magnetic connector 10 by continuing to move the mobile phone away from the movable member 30.

[0050] Furthermore, both the first magnetic element 22 and the second magnetic element 32 are ring-shaped structures; the first magnetic element 22 includes a first magnetic unit 221 and a second magnetic unit 222, the upper surface of the first magnetic unit 221 has a magnetic pole, there are multiple first magnetic units 221, there is at least one second magnetic unit 222, and the upper surface of the second magnetic unit 222 has two opposite magnetic poles; the second magnetic element 32 includes a third magnetic unit 321 and a fourth magnetic unit 322, the upper surface of the third magnetic unit 321 has a magnetic pole, there are multiple third magnetic units 321, there is at least one fourth magnetic unit 322, and the upper surface of the fourth magnetic unit 322 has two opposite magnetic poles.

[0051] Specifically, the internal magnetic field of the first magnetic unit 221 is vertically downward, and the internal magnetic field of the third magnetic unit 321 is vertically upward. When an external force is applied to cause the movable part 30 to move upward a certain distance along the axis of the first main part 21, and then the external force is removed, because the internal magnetic field of the first magnetic unit 221 is vertically downward and the internal magnetic field of the third magnetic unit 321 is vertically upward, the first magnetic unit 221 will provide a magnetic attraction force to the third magnetic unit 321, causing the third magnetic unit 321 to drive the second main part 31 to move downward relative to the first main part 21 along the axis of the first main part 21, so that the movable part 30 returns to its side-by-side state relative to the fixed part 20.

[0052] Furthermore, the internal magnetic field direction of the second magnetic unit 222 is horizontal, and at least one second magnetic unit 222 is interspersed among the plurality of first magnetic units 221; the internal magnetic field direction of the fourth magnetic unit 322 is horizontal, and at least one fourth magnetic unit 322 is interspersed among the plurality of third magnetic units 321, and the magnetic pole of the second magnetic unit 222 near the third magnetic unit 321 is opposite to the magnetic pole of the fourth magnetic unit 322 near the first magnetic unit 221, so that when the second magnetic unit 222 is close to the fourth magnetic unit 322, the second magnetic unit 222... Magnetic unit 222 and fourth magnetic unit 322 repel each other. Specifically, when the first main member 21 and the second main member 31 are side by side and the second magnetic unit 222 and the fourth magnetic unit 322 are staggered, the second magnetic unit 222 repels the third magnetic unit 321, and the fourth magnetic unit 322 repels the first magnetic unit 221. This allows the second main member 31 to move smoothly relative to the first main member 21 in the axial direction of the first main member 21, or the first main member 21 to rotate smoothly relative to the second main member 31.

[0053] like Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, in the third embodiment, this application also provides a protective case 50, including a main body 51 and the aforementioned magnetic connector 10. A fixing member 20 is connected to the main body 51 via a connecting portion 201, and the fixing member 20 is fixed relative to the main body 51. A movable member 30 is movable relative to the main body 51. The main body 51 is used to cover a mobile phone for protection. Wireless chargers, car mounts, and desktop stands with magnetic attraction functions can be magnetically attracted and fixed to the magnetic connector 10 on the protective case. For example, a desktop stand can be magnetically attracted to the magnetic connector 10 to secure itself. The desktop stand is fixed to the protective shell 50. Specifically, the desktop stand is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic element 22 and the second magnetic element 32. When the desktop stand is moved away from the protective shell 50, it only needs to overcome the magnetic force of the first magnetic element 22. The desktop stand, through its magnetic attraction with the second magnetic element 32, causes the second main component 31 to move relative to the first magnetic element 22. When the desktop stand is moved further away from the protective shell 50, it overcomes the magnetic force of the second magnetic element 32, allowing the protective shell 50 to completely separate from the desktop stand, thus making it easier to separate the protective shell 50 from the desktop stand. When the desktop stand is magnetically fixed to the protective shell 50 and the electronic device stand is supported on the desktop, the desktop stand tends to shift relative to the protective shell 50. However, the direction of movement of the second magnetic element 32 relative to the first magnetic element 22 is different from the direction of the tendency of the desktop stand to shift relative to the protective shell 50. Therefore, the tendency of the desktop stand to shift relative to the protective shell 50 will not cause the second main component 31 and the second magnetic element 32 to move with the desktop stand. This invention ensures a strong magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and its accessories, while also solving the problem of the difficulty in detaching the mobile phone from its accessories.

[0054] In this embodiment, the main body 51 is the entire housing, which consists of a back plate and side frames. The main body 51 is recessed with a receiving groove 511. The magnetic connector 10 is received in the receiving groove 511. The fixing member 20 is fixedly connected to the main body 51 through the connecting part 201. Specifically, the first main member 21 and the second main member 31 are both received in the receiving groove 511. The first main member 21 is fixedly connected to the main body 51 through the connecting part 201. The first magnetic member 22 is fixed to the main body 51. The second main member 31 and the second magnetic member 32 can move relative to the first main member 21 in the receiving groove 511. Specifically, the first magnetic member 22 is fixed inside the first main member 21. The surface of the first main member 21 away from the bottom of the receiving groove 511 is flush with the surface of the main body 51. The second magnetic member 32 is fixed inside the second main member 31. The surface of the second main member 31 away from the bottom of the receiving groove 511 protrudes from the surface of the main body 51. Alternatively, the surface of the second main member 31 away from the bottom of the receiving groove 511 is flush with the surface of the main body 51.

[0055] like Figures 13 to 14As shown, in the fourth embodiment, the difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that the main body 51 is a side frame and the fixing member 20 is a back plate. The side frame is arranged around the periphery of the back plate. Specifically, the first main member 21 is connected to the back plate through the connecting part 201.

[0056] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in the fifth embodiment, the difference between this embodiment and the third embodiment is that the movable member 30 can rotate relative to the main body 51 to support the protective shell 50. When the movable member 30 rotates relative to the main body 51 to a preset support angle, the movable member 30 can support the main body 51 on the table in a horizontal or vertical posture, so that the protective shell 50 has a support function.

[0057] Furthermore, the protective shell 50 also includes an intermediate member 54. The movable member 30 is connected to the main body 51 through the intermediate member 54. The movable member 30 and the intermediate member 54 are rotatably connected so that the movable member 30 can be flipped relative to the main body 51. When the movable member 30 is flipped relative to the main body 51 to a preset angle, the movable member 30 can support the main body 51 on the table in a horizontal or vertical posture.

[0058] Furthermore, the intermediate component 54 is rotatably connected to the main body 51, meaning that the movable component 30 can not only flip relative to the main body 51, but also rotate relative to the main body 51. Specifically, when the movable component 30 rotates relative to the intermediate component 54, the movable component 30 flips relative to the main body 51; and when the intermediate component 54 rotates relative to the main body 51, the movable component 30 rotates relative to the main body 51. The peripheral edge of the intermediate component 54 is provided with a slot 541, and the main body 51 is provided with a mounting hole 510. The intermediate component 54 is placed within the mounting hole 510, and the wall of the mounting hole 510 can be movably engaged within the slot 541. In other embodiments, the intermediate component 54 is fixedly connected to the main body 51, so that the intermediate component 54 remains fixed relative to the main body 51.

[0059] like Figures 17 to 20As shown, in the sixth embodiment, this application provides a vehicle mount 60, including a mount connector 61, a housing, a support member, and the aforementioned magnetic connector 10. The housing is fitted around the support member, and the support member is movable relative to the housing. The housing is a fixed member 20, and the support member is a movable member 30. The mount connector 61 is connected to the housing through a connecting part 201. The mount connector 61 can be used to fix the vehicle mount to places such as the air conditioning vent in the driver's cab and the platform of the center console. A mobile phone with magnetic attraction function is magnetically attracted to the first magnetic member 22 and the second magnetic member 32 in the magnetic connector 10, so that the mobile phone can be magnetically fixed to the vehicle mount 60. When the mobile phone is removed from the vehicle mount 60, it is only necessary to overcome the magnetic attraction force of the second magnetic member 32 in the magnetic connector 10, or the movement of the movable member 30 relative to the fixed member 20 will change the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic connector 10, making it easy to remove the mobile phone from the vehicle mount 60.

[0060] Furthermore, a first limiting protrusion 23 is provided on the side of the outer shell near the support member. The support member includes a support portion 301 and a side wall portion 302. One end of the side wall portion 302 surrounds the periphery of the support portion 301, and the other end of the side wall portion 302 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 33 protruding towards the outer shell. The second limiting protrusion 33 is located between the first limiting protrusion 23 and the bracket connector 61. When the first limiting protrusion 23 contacts the second limiting protrusion 33, the support member stops moving relative to the outer shell to prevent the support member from detaching from the outer shell when moving relative to the outer shell.

[0061] In summary, this application provides a magnetic connector, a protective case, and a car mount. The magnetic connector consists of a fixed part and a movable part arranged side by side. The magnetic connector can be connected to a mobile phone accessory through the connecting part of the fixed part. The first magnetic part of the fixed part and the second magnetic part of the movable part are magnetically attracted to the mobile phone to fix the mobile phone to the mobile phone accessory. Because the movable part can move relative to the fixed part, when the mobile phone is removed from the mobile phone accessory, the magnetic force between the mobile phone and the second magnetic part causes the movable part to move relative to the fixed part. This makes it easy to remove the mobile phone from the mobile phone accessory by overcoming the magnetic force of the second magnetic part, or the movement of the movable part relative to the fixed part changes the magnetic force of the magnetic connector. For example, when the magnetic connector is connected to a car mount, since the car body generally shakes up and down or left and right, the movable part can move in a different direction relative to the fixed part than the direction of shaking. The shaking will not cause the movable part to move with the mobile phone, and the mobile phone can still be firmly magnetically fixed to the car mount. This invention ensures a strong magnetic attraction between the mobile phone and its accessories, while also solving the problem of the difficulty in detaching the mobile phone from its accessories.
