[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown: A memory expandable protective shell includes: a shell 1 for accommodating a smart terminal and an expansion component 2 for expanding the memory of the smart terminal;

[0043] Alternatively, the shell 1 can be made of silicone, TPU, PC, or ABS material.

[0044] Preferably, in this embodiment, the shell 1 is made of PC material, which has strong impact resistance, good toughness, good heat dissipation performance, high transparency, is non-toxic and safe, and is easy to process and mold.

[0045] The shape of the housing 1 is made according to different models of smart terminals. The housing 11 matches the shape of the smart terminal. The smart terminal is installed in the housing 1. The housing 1 is used to protect the smart terminal.

[0046] There are no restrictions on the shape of the housing 1.

[0047] An expansion assembly 2 is provided on the housing 1;

[0048] like Figure 4 As shown, the capacity expansion component 2 includes a capacity expansion circuit module 201 and a storage medium 202. One or more storage media 202 are fixedly or detachably mounted on the capacity expansion circuit module 201. The capacity expansion circuit module 201 is electrically connected to a data connector 3.

[0049] Data connector 3 is used to enable data interaction between storage medium 202 and smart terminal.

[0050] The aforementioned smart terminal includes not only the smart terminal installed inside the housing 1, but also an external smart terminal that can read the data stored in the expansion component 2 through the data connector 3 and store the data in the storage medium 202 of the expansion component 2.

[0051] Optionally, the smart terminal disposed within the housing 1 may include a mobile phone or a tablet computer, etc.

[0052] The aforementioned external smart terminals include mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, smartwatches, smart speakers, and other electronic devices that have computing power, storage capacity, and communication capabilities, and that possess an operating system and support application execution.

[0053] Optionally, the expansion circuit module 201 may include USB adapter boards of models such as CH376S and FT232RL; SATA adapter boards of models such as ASM1153E and ASM1156; and PCIe expansion boards of models such as ASM2362 and JMicron JMS583.

[0054] The expansion circuit module 201 is used to control the data transmission between the smart terminal and the storage medium 202. The storage medium 202 is used for storage expansion and data exchange, realizing the function of expanding the storage space of the smart terminal. The smart terminal transfers and stores data in the storage medium 202 set on the expansion circuit module 201. The smart terminal can also read data from the storage medium 202 and perform data interaction through the data connector 3. This effectively increases the storage space available to the smart terminal, making the operation of the smart terminal smoother and able to store more data to meet the user's needs.

[0055] Alternatively, the storage medium 202 can be an external memory card, USB flash drive, portable solid-state drive or portable hard drive, etc., and there are no restrictions on the choice of storage medium 202;

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the storage medium 202 is an external storage card;

[0057] Alternatively, the external storage card can be a TF card, an SD card, a MINI-SD card, or a FLASH card.

[0058] Alternatively, the connector can be a Type-C connector, a Micro USB connector, or a Lightning connector, etc., and there are no restrictions on this.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a recessed groove 4 is also provided on the housing 1. The recessed groove 4 is in a shape that matches the expansion component 2, and the expansion component 2 is disposed in the recessed groove 4.

[0060] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sink 4 is provided on the back of the housing 1. The sink 4 fits into the expansion component 2. The shape of the sink 4 is consistent with that of the expansion component 2 and is slightly larger than that of the expansion component 2.

[0061] In this embodiment, the design of the sink 4 facilitates the storage of the expansion component 2, making the overall protective shell more portable during use.

[0062] On the other hand, it can also protect the expansion component 2, avoiding direct exposure outside the protective shell and reducing the risk of damage.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, a rotating connecting piece 5 is also provided in the settling tank 4;

[0064] The rotating connector 5 includes a rotating shaft 501 and an extension 502. The two ends of the rotating shaft 501 are rotatably connected to the sidewalls of the sink 4. One end of the extension 502 is connected to the rotating shaft 501, and the other end of the extension 502 is connected to the expansion assembly 2, so that the expansion assembly 2 can rotate relative to the housing 1 through the rotating connector 5.

[0065] In use, the extension component 502 is rotated by the pivot 501, which drives the expansion component 2 to rotate and adjust the expansion component 2 to a position that can connect to the smart terminal interface.

[0066] This allows the data connector 3 to pass through the connector hole 10 and connect to the smart terminal, enabling data interaction between the smart terminal and the storage medium 202, thereby expanding the smart terminal's memory;

[0067] After use, the position of the receiving component can be adjusted by rotating it, and the expansion component 2 can be stored in the sink 4.

[0068] Furthermore, the sidewall edge of the housing 1 is also provided with a notch 8 for placing a smart terminal;

[0069] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, two notches 8 are provided, and the two notches 8 are symmetrically arranged on the side with the connector hole 10. Compared with the closed and complete protective shell sidewall, the protective shell with notches 8 is easier to take out and put in the smart terminal.

[0070] Furthermore, a hanging ring 9 is also provided on the back of the housing 1;

[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the hanging ring 9 is detachably mounted on the back of the housing 1. The detachable design makes it easy to remove and replace. The hanging ring 9 is used to enhance the portability of the protective case and also enhance the stability of holding the smart terminal, further enriching the function of the protective case.

[0072] In addition, the design of the hanging ring 9 can also serve as a smart terminal stand, providing support for the smart terminal.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the data expansion module is provided with a mounting base 11 for connecting the storage medium 202;

[0074] The mounting bracket 11 can tightly fix the storage medium 202 and the data expansion module together, improving the connection strength and stability between the two, and also enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the entire structure. The mounting bracket 11 also helps to more easily disassemble and separate the storage medium 202 and the data expansion module, facilitating maintenance and replacement.

[0075] Therefore, this utility model embodiment provides a memory-expandable protective shell, including: a shell 1 for accommodating a smart terminal, and an expansion component 2 for expanding the memory of the smart terminal; a recess 4 is provided on the back of the shell 1, the recess 4 fits into the expansion component 2, and the expansion component 2 is disposed in the recess 4; the expansion component 2 is connected to a data connector 3 for connecting to the smart terminal, and the data connector 3 is disposed on the expansion circuit module 201; a storage medium 202 is disposed on the expansion circuit module 201. Data exchange and data storage are performed with the smart terminal through the storage medium 202, optimizing the user experience, expanding the memory of the smart terminal, and solving the problem of insufficient memory in the smart terminal.

[0076] Example 2

[0077] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown: A memory expandable protective shell includes: a shell 1 for accommodating a smart terminal and an expansion component 2 for expanding the memory of the smart terminal;

[0078] An expansion assembly 2 is provided on the housing 1;

[0079] The capacity expansion component 2 includes a capacity expansion circuit module 201 and a storage medium 202. One or more storage media 202 are fixedly or detachably mounted on the capacity expansion circuit module 201. The capacity expansion circuit module 201 is electrically connected to a data connector 3.

[0080] Data connector 3 is used to enable data interaction between storage medium 202 and smart terminal.

[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, a hidden groove 6 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The outline of the hidden groove 6 matches the data connector 3, and the size of the hidden groove 6 is slightly larger than that of the data connector 3. The data connector 3 can be embedded in the hidden groove 6.

[0082] Specifically, the hidden groove 6 is located below the smart terminal connector hole 10 reserved in the housing 1;

[0083] Data connector 3 can be embedded in hidden slot 6, and in use, such as Figure 8As shown, the data connector 3 can be pulled out of the hidden slot 6, the data cable 7 can be stretched and passed through the connector hole 10 reserved on the protective shell to connect to the smart terminal interface, thus completing the expansion of the smart terminal's memory.

[0084] After discontinuing use, such as Figure 7 As shown, the data connector 3 can be hidden in the hidden slot 6, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing and portable overall structure that also protects the data connector 3.

[0085] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the expansion component 2 is equipped with a data line 7 for data transmission. One end of the data line 7 is connected to a data connector 3 for connecting to a smart terminal, and the other end of the data line 7 is connected to the expansion circuit module 201. The data line 7 enables the connection between the data connector 3 and the expansion circuit module 201, thereby enabling the connection with the storage medium 202.

[0086] Preferably, the data cable 7 is a flexible and retractable data cable 7.

[0087] Furthermore, the storage medium 202 is mounted on the expansion circuit module 201 via the mounting base 11.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the storage medium 202 is a memory card, and the mounting base 11 is an external card slot.

[0089] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, a cover 31 is also provided at the bottom of the data connector 3. When the data connector 3 is placed in the hidden groove 6, the cover 31 is used to close the hidden groove 6.

[0090] On the one hand, the cover 31 can seal the hidden slot 6, which protects the data connector 3 and the expansion component 2;

[0091] On the other hand, the cover 31 can also serve as a point of leverage, making it easier to remove the data connector 3 and optimizing the user experience.

[0092] Furthermore, the hidden groove 6 narrows from the outside to the inside in the horizontal direction, and elastic clamping parts (not shown in the figure) are also provided on both sides of the hidden groove 6;

[0093] The two sides of the data connector 3 abut against the clamping parts on both sides of the hidden groove 6.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping part is an elastic metal sheet or a spring.

[0095] The specific design of the hidden slot 6 can greatly enhance the stability between the data connector 3 and the hidden slot 6, making the data connector 3 less likely to fall off or drop out of the hidden slot 6.
