[0062] The mobile device protective cover set and its buttons and protective cover body according to the embodiment of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a preferred embodiment of the mobile device protective cover set of the utility model, the mobile device protective cover set includes a protective cover body 1 and at least one button 2, and the button 2 is detachably arranged on the protective cover body 1.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2, the protective cover 1 can be mounted on a mobile device (not shown), and the mobile device can be, for example but not limited to, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, or a wireless charging box for headphones, etc.; although the diagram of this embodiment is presented as an example of a protective cover 1 used in a mobile phone, it does not limit the present invention. The protective cover 1 has an inner surface 11, an outer surface 12, an annular flange 14, and at least one through hole 13, the inner surface 11 is opposite to the outer surface 12, and the through hole 13 passes through the inner surface 11 and the outer surface 12. When the protective cover 1 is mounted on the mobile device, the through hole 13 will be aligned with a button on the mobile device (such as a mechanical button, or a metal film switch as described below); the annular flange 14 is located on the inner circumferential surface 131 of the through hole 13.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The button 2 includes a body 21, a pressing head 22 and an inner portion 23. The pressing head 22 and the inner portion 23 are respectively connected to the two ends of the body 21. The outer peripheral surface of the body 21 is provided with a concave annular groove 211, so that the maximum width of the body 21 can be smaller than the pressing head 22 and the inner portion 23.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 6 During assembly, the button 2 can be inserted into the corresponding through-hole 13 with the inner portion 23, and the annular flange 14 of the protective cover body 1 can be aligned and penetrated into the annular groove 211 of the button 2, so that the inner portion 23 is blocked by the annular flange 14 to prevent the button 2 from coming out of the corresponding through-hole 13. At this time, the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 (the end of the button 2 facing the inside of the protective cover body 1) can be supported by the button 3 located on the mobile device, so that the bottom surface of the pressing head 22 will not contact the annular flange 14, and the pressing head 22 at least partially protrudes outside the through-hole 13, so that the user can press and operate.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 7 When the user applies force to press the pressing head 22 of the button 2, the button 2 as a whole will move toward the inside of the protective cover 1, and before the pressing head 22 abuts against the annular flange 14 or just abuts against the annular flange 14, the corresponding button 3 is triggered by the bottom end E of the inner part 23, and a good feedback feel is obtained.

[0068] However, when the mobile device equipped with the protective cover 1 accidentally falls and hits the button 2, or the user presses the button 2 with improper force, so that the pressing head 22 of the button 2 is subjected to excessive pressing force, the excessive pressing force can be transferred from the pressing head 22 to the annular flange 14 when the pressing head 22 presses against the annular flange 14, and then the protective cover 1 disperses and absorbs most of the pressing force, thereby protecting the corresponding button 3 on the mobile device from being damaged due to excessive force and causing no damage to the mobile device.

[0069] Therefore, the mobile device protective cover set of the present invention can make the annular flange 14 of the protective cover body 1 align and penetrate into the annular groove 211 of the button 2, so that the button 2 can disperse the excessive pressing force to the protective cover body 1, thereby effectively reducing the chance of causing damage to the button 3 on the mobile device or the surrounding area of ​​the button 3. The protective cover body 1 and the button 2 can be connected by the annular annular flange 14 and the annular groove 211, so that the force transmission is faster and more uniform, which is very helpful to improve the effect of dispersing the force.

[0070] It is worth mentioning that in other embodiments, the through hole 13 of the protective cover body 1 may be provided with an annular groove, and the pressing head 22 of the button 2 may have an annular flange below, and the above effect may be achieved by embedding the annular flange into the annular groove.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present invention, the button 2 may also have a trigger member 24, and the trigger member 24 protrudes from the bottom end E of the inner portion 23. In this way, when the button 2 is not subjected to a pressing force, the trigger member 24 may be supported by the corresponding button 3 on the mobile device, so that the pressing force applied to the pressing head 22 can be more accurately transmitted by the trigger member 24 and trigger the corresponding button 3 on the mobile device. For example, the trigger member 24 may be integrally formed and connected to the inner portion 23, or may be formed as a protrusion on the bottom surface of the inner portion 23 by dispensing glue, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0072] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the button 2 may be provided with an assembly hole 25, and the assembly hole 25 may extend from the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 to the other end, and may be formed in a shape that does not penetrate the pressing head 22. The trigger member 24 may be a rod body T, and the trigger member 24 may have an assembly portion 241 and a supporting portion 242, and the assembly portion 241 may be inserted into the assembly hole 25, and the supporting portion 242 may protrude from the bottom end E of the inner portion 23. In this way, the button 2 may have a simple structure and be easy to manufacture and assemble, and different materials may be selected to form different parts of the button 2 according to different needs. For example, the body 21, the pressing head 22 and the inner portion 23 may be made of metal, and the trigger member 24 may be made of elastic materials such as silicone or rubber, so that the supporting portion 242 of the trigger member 24 may produce elastic deformation when triggering the corresponding button 3 on the mobile device, thereby achieving the effect of improving the control accuracy and hand feel. Furthermore, when the pressing head 22 is pressed, the button 2 itself can also absorb part of the pressing force due to the elastic deformation ability of the trigger member 24, so as to further enhance the effect of the overall mobile device protection kit in protecting the button 3 on the mobile device or the surrounding of the button 3 from being easily damaged. The depth of the assembly hole 25 can be set according to the requirements, for example, considering the bonding strength with the assembly part 241 of the trigger member 24 or the reserved gap. In this embodiment, the depth of the assembly hole 25 can reach the inside of the pressing head 22, while in other embodiments, the depth of the assembly hole 25 can also only reach the inside of the body 21.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present invention, the button 2 can be conductive, and the trigger 24 can be elastic, for example, the body 21, the pressing head 22 and the inner portion 23 are integrally formed and connected, and are made of conductive metal material, and the trigger 24 (the rod body T) is a conductive rubber rod or a conductive silicone rod. Figure 1, the protective cover body 1 can be a mobile phone protective shell, and the perforation 13 can be arranged at the ring frame of the mobile phone protective shell, for example, located at one of the long sides of the ring frame and adjacent to the outer end, so that the button 2 assembled in the perforation 13 can be conveniently pressed and operated by the user when the mobile phone is placed horizontally. In addition, a screen film can be attached to the touch screen of the mobile phone installed on the protective cover body 1, and the screen film is provided with an invisible circuit, which can correspond to a specific area of ​​the touch screen and extend from the edge of the screen film to form a touch portion; the button 3 of this embodiment can be, for example, a metal dome membrane switch, and the button 3 is connected to the touch portion and aligned with the perforation 13. Thereby, when the user presses the button 2, the trigger member 24 (the rod body T) can trigger the touch portion of the invisible circuit when pressing against the button 3, forming an effect equivalent to pressing the touch screen of the mobile phone with a finger. Therefore, the mobile device protection cover of the present embodiment can form an e-sports mobile phone case suitable for playing mobile games. As long as the mobile phone is placed horizontally, the user can firmly hold the protective cover body 1, and when playing the game, for example, pressing the button 2 with the index finger, it is as comfortable and easy to control as using a professional game handle, and the finger operating the button 2 will not block the game screen, which can speed up the game response time and bring a better gaming experience and convenience.

[0074] It is worth mentioning that when the button 3 is a metal film switch, in the embodiment where the trigger member 24 is integrally connected to the button 2, the button 2 can also be made entirely of the same conductive material, such as a conductive metal material, or a conductive silicone or rubber material, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the utility model, the button 2 may have a first receiving groove 26, and the first receiving groove 26 may be recessed inward from the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 and connected to the assembly hole 25. The abutting portion 242 of the trigger member 24 may be partially located in the first receiving groove 26, and partially protrude from the first receiving groove 26; preferably, the abutting portion 242 of the trigger member 24 may be located at the center of the first receiving groove 26, but is not limited thereto. In this way, when the elastic trigger member 24 is elastically deformed by its abutting portion 242 pressing against the trigger, the first receiving groove 26 may accommodate the portion of the abutting portion 242 that expands outward due to the deformation, so that the feedback feel of pressing the button 2 is better.

[0076] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the button 2 may also have a guide bevel 27, and the guide bevel 27 is located at the end edge of the inner portion 23, so that the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 can form a decreasing width shape; the first receiving groove 26 can form an outward expansion shape, and the direction in which the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 forms a decreasing width is opposite to the outward expansion direction of the first receiving groove 26. In this way, the guide bevel 27 and the first receiving groove 26 can make the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 form a decreasing thickness shape and more easily produce elastic deformation; in the process of inserting the button 2 into the corresponding through hole 13 with the inner portion 23, the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 can pass through the annular flange 14 more smoothly by means of the guide bevel 27, and the inner portion 23 can shrink and deform into the first receiving groove 26, which helps to improve the smoothness of operation when assembling the button 2.

[0077] See also Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the section of the through hole 13 from the annular flange 14 to the inner surface 11 may be expanded to form a second receiving groove 15. In this way, when the pressing head 22 is subjected to a large pressing force, the annular flange 14 will also undergo elastic deformation, and the second receiving groove 15 can provide a large elastic deformation margin for the annular flange 14, and can also accommodate the part of the inner side portion 23 that expands outward due to deformation.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 8 In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present invention, the rod T can be a metal rod with good conductivity, such as a copper rod. The rod T can be loosely combined with the assembly hole 25 and locked with the assembly hole 25 to prevent the rod T from easily escaping from the assembly hole 25. In addition, there can be at least one elastomer 28 between the rod T and the bottom surface 251 of the assembly hole 25, and the elastomer 28 can be, for example, a spring or a silicon / rubber pad. In this way, when the pressing head 22 is pressed, the button 2 itself can absorb part of the pressing force by the elastomer 28. In other embodiments, the button 2 can also be formed by inserting a copper rod into the assembly hole 25 and then injecting conductive glue as a fixation method, or other equivalent structures, which are not limited by the present invention.

[0079] Please refer to Fig. 9In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present invention, the through hole 13 of the protective cover body 1 may have a reinforcement structure 16, the reinforcement structure 16 is located between the annular flange 14 and the inner surface 11 of the protective cover body 1, and the reinforcement structure 16 is connected to the annular flange 14. For example, the reinforcement structure 16 may be in a complete ring shape, a C-shape, or a plurality of blocks connected below the annular flange 14. The reinforcement structure 16 can be used to strengthen the structural strength of the annular flange 14, and at least a part of the reinforcement structure 16 can be orthogonally projected within the range of the pressing head 22, thereby effectively improving the effect of dispersing the force of the pressing head 22.

[0080] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end E of the inner portion 23 may form a convex arc surface, the assembly hole 25 may be located at the most protruding part of the convex arc surface, and a space S may be left between the rod body T and the bottom surface 251 of the assembly hole 25. In this way, the coverage rate of the main body 21 on the rod body T can be improved, which helps to improve the stability of the combination of the two, and the rod body T can be elastically deformed toward the space S at the top to provide a buffer.

[0081] Please refer to Figures 10 to 12 In addition to the above embodiments, in one embodiment of the present utility model, when the button 3 is a metal film switch and the protective cover 1 is sleeved outside the mobile device, the through hole 13 is aligned with the button 3, and the reinforcement structure 16 can abut against the outer edge 31 of the button 3 (outside the metal spring of the metal film switch), so that the reinforcement structure 16 can also position the button 3 and maximize the structural strength of the annular flange 14 and the effect of dispersing the force on the pressing head 22.
