[0024] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] This application provides a protective case for mobile devices to address the problem of poor connection stability between the keyboard assembly and the mobile device. The following description is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a protective case for a mobile device, including a keyboard assembly 1, a protective cover assembly 2, and a connector 3. The protective cover assembly 2 is connected to one side of the keyboard assembly 1, and the connector 3 is disposed on the keyboard assembly 1 and rotates with the keyboard assembly 1. A first electrical connector 31 is disposed on the connector 3 and is electrically connected to the keyboard assembly 1.
[0029] By providing a first electrical connector 31 on the connector 3 to connect to the keyboard assembly 1, and by rotating the connector 3 to engage with the keyboard assembly 1, the connector 3 is made to fit with the mobile device when the mobile device is connected to the keyboard assembly 1. This improves the stability of the connection between the mobile device and the first electrical connector 31, thereby enabling the mobile device to connect stably to the keyboard assembly 1 and solving the problem of poor connection stability between the keyboard assembly 1 and the mobile device.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the keyboard assembly 1, the connector 3, and the protective cover assembly 2 are all covered with a flexible material. One end of the keyboard assembly 1 is connected to one end of the protective cover assembly 2 via the flexible material, allowing the protective cover assembly 2 to rotate relative to the keyboard assembly 1. One end of the connector 3 is connected to the keyboard assembly 1 via the flexible material, allowing the connector 3 to rotate relative to the keyboard assembly 1. In this embodiment, the flexible material is natural leather. Using natural leather to cover the mobile device protective case not only improves the cushioning performance of the mobile device protective case but also meets the user's need for comfort. In some embodiments of this application, the flexible material is any one of artificial leather, natural fiber cloth, chemical fiber cloth, or rubber.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The keyboard assembly 1 includes a base plate 11, a circuit board, and buttons 12. A first receiving cavity is formed on the base plate 11, and the circuit board is received and fixed in the receiving cavity. The buttons 12 are fixedly connected to the circuit board. In this embodiment, multiple buttons 12 are provided, and multiple buttons 12 are arranged at intervals on the circuit board. The end of the button 12 away from the circuit board passes through the cavity wall of the receiving cavity, so that when the keyboard assembly 1 is connected to the mobile device, the user can generate an electrical signal on the circuit board by pressing the button 12, thereby inputting information into the mobile device.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The connector 3 has a second accommodating cavity, and the first electrical connector 31 is accommodated and fixed within the second accommodating cavity. In this embodiment, the first electrical connector 31 is an elastic connecting pin that passes through one side of the connector 3. The first electrical connector 31 is connected to the circuit board via a ribbon cable, so that electrical signals generated on the circuit board can be transmitted to the first electrical connector 31 via the ribbon cable, and the mobile device can supply power to the circuit board via the first electrical connector 31.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 To allow the mobile device to be placed flat on the keyboard assembly 1, a second receiving groove 112 is recessed on one side of the substrate 11 for inserting the connector 3. When the connector 3 is inserted into the second receiving groove 112, the side of the connector 3 away from the bottom of the second receiving groove 112 does not protrude from the side of the keyboard assembly 1. In addition, a third receiving groove 113 is recessed on one side of the substrate 11, and the end of the button 12 away from the circuit board passes through the bottom of the third receiving groove 113, and the end of the button 12 away from the circuit board does not protrude from the side of the keyboard assembly 1.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The protective cover assembly 2 includes a first support plate 21, a second support plate 22, and a third support plate 23. The first support plate 21, the third support plate 23, and the second support plate 22 are arranged sequentially. The end of the first support plate 21 away from the third support plate 23 is connected to one end of the substrate 11 through a flexible material. Because the protective cover assembly 2 is covered with a flexible material, the third support plate 23 can rotate and bend relative to the first support plate 21, and the second support plate 22 can rotate and bend relative to the third support plate 23.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3When the protective cover assembly 2 needs to support the mobile device at a first angle, the first support plate 21, the third support plate 23, and the second support plate 22 are rotated, causing the end of the second support plate 22 away from the third support plate 23 to abut against the substrate 11, and the third support plate 23 to abut against the second support plate 22, thereby forming a triangular support structure. When the protective cover assembly 2 needs to support the mobile device at a second angle, the first support plate 21, the third support plate 23, and the second support plate 22 are rotated, causing the end of the second support plate 22 away from the third support plate 23 to abut against the substrate 11, and the third support plate 23 to abut against the mobile device, thereby forming a triangular support structure. By setting the third support plate 23, the protective cover assembly 2 can form two triangular support structures with different support angles, meeting the user's needs for diverse support angles of the protective cover assembly 2.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, to enhance the stability of the triangular support structure formed by the protective cover assembly 2, a magnetic element is fixedly installed on the third support plate 23, and a magnetic element is installed on the second support plate 22. When the third support plate 23 abuts against the second support plate 22, the magnetic element attracts the magnetic element, thereby enabling the third support plate 23 to abut firmly against the second support plate 22, thus enhancing the stability of the protective cover assembly 2 when supporting the mobile device at the first angle. When the third support plate 23 abuts against the mobile device, the magnetic element attracts the ferromagnetic components in the mobile device, thereby enabling the third support plate 23 to abut firmly against the mobile device, thus enhancing the stability of the protective cover assembly 2 when supporting the mobile device at the second angle.
[0037] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 To further improve the stability of the connection between the mobile device and the mobile device protective case, an electrical connection assembly is provided on the protective cover assembly 2. The electrical connection assembly includes a second electrical connector 24, a third electrical connector 25, and a connecting cable. A third receiving cavity is provided on the second support plate 22, and the second electrical connector 24, the third electrical connector 25, and the connecting cable are all housed within the third receiving cavity. The second electrical connector 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting cable, and the third electrical connector 25 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting cable, thereby enabling an electrical connection between the second electrical connector 24 and the third electrical connector 25. In this embodiment, the second electrical connector 24 is a contact point, and a clearance hole is provided on one side of the second support plate 22, through which the contact point passes. The third electrical connector 25 is an elastic connecting pin, penetrating the other side of the second support plate 22.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the protective cover assembly 2 supports the mobile device, the end of the second support plate 22 away from the third support plate 23 abuts against the base plate 11, causing the connector 3 to abut against the second support plate 22, the first electrical connector 31 to abut against the second electrical connector 24, and the third electrical connector 25 to abut against the mobile device, thereby achieving an electrical connection between the mobile device and the keyboard assembly 1. The arrangement of the electrical connection components ensures that the mobile device can still maintain an electrical connection with the keyboard assembly 1 while the protective cover assembly 2 supports it, improving the stability of the connection between the mobile device and the keyboard assembly 1.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first magnetic element is fixedly disposed on the connector 3, and a second magnetic element is fixedly disposed on the second support plate 22. When the connector 3 and the second support plate 22 assembly abut, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnetically attracted to each other, thereby improving the stability of the connector 3 and the second support plate 22 assembly when they abut. In some embodiments of this application, the second support plate 22 is made entirely of ferromagnetic material, so that the first magnetic element can attract the second support plate 22, thereby improving the stability of the connector 3 and the second support plate 22 assembly when they abut; the magnetic attractor can attract the second support plate 22, thereby improving the stability of the triangular support structure formed by the protective cover assembly 2.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The keyboard assembly 1 has a recessed first receiving groove 111 on one side for inserting a mobile device. Specifically, the first receiving groove 111 is formed on one side of the substrate 11, so that when the protective cover assembly 2 forms a triangular support structure, the end of the second support plate 22 away from the third support plate 23 extends into the first receiving groove 111 and abuts against the groove wall of the first receiving groove 111, further improving the stability of the triangular support structure formed by the protective cover assembly 2. In addition, when the mobile device is connected to the keyboard assembly 1, one end of the mobile device extends into the first receiving groove 111 and abuts against the groove wall of the first receiving groove 111, thereby improving the stability of the mobile device when connected to the keyboard assembly 1.
[0041] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
