[0038] refer to Figure 1-Figure 5, an electronic device accessory 100 is provided herein, which is used to assemble an external device. The electronic device accessory 100 includes an accessory body 20 and a bracket 10. The bracket 10 includes a connector 1 and at least two movably connected support members 2. The connector 1 is connected or attached to the accessory body 20. The accessory body 20 may refer to a mobile phone case, an iPad protective case, a mobile power supply, a card holder, a wireless charger, etc. The connection or attachment of the connector to the accessory body 20 is not limited to fixed connection, magnetic adsorption, adhesive, Velcro, etc. It can be understood that the way to achieve support by active connection may include rotation, folding, telescopic, etc. At present, the bracket 10 is generally composed of a base and a support member 2 that are relatively rotatably connected. The user uses the base to fix it on the accessory body 20. The support member 2 and the accessory body 20 are in contact with the desktop together to support the accessory body 20 in an inclined state on the desktop. Taking the accessory body 20 as a protective shell as an example, the protective shell is usually used to assemble external electronic devices such as mobile phones. The accessory body 20 can support electronic devices such as mobile phones in an inclined state on the desktop. However, since the accessory body 20 needs to be in contact with the desktop together with the support 2, the electronic device installed on the accessory body 20 can be supported on the desktop, especially when the electronic device is supported on the desktop in a vertical posture, the charging port at the bottom of the electronic device is interfered with by the desktop. In this state of the electronic device, the user cannot connect the charging cable to the charging port to charge the electronic device.

[0039] In this article, the bracket 10 includes a connector 1 and at least two rotatably connected supports 2, the connector 1 is used to connect or attach an external device; one end of the support member 2 is rotatably connected to the connector 1, and the other end contacts an external support platform, and supports the external device in the first support state so that the external device is away from the external support platform. In this embodiment, one end of one of the supports 2 is rotatably connected to the connector 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to another support member 2. With this arrangement, the two supports 2 can achieve two-stage opening and closing adjustment of the external device relative to the support platform, so that it can hover at any height. It can be understood that the external support platform is any platform on which the user places the bracket 10, such as an office desk, a desk, a vehicle center console, etc. This article can give one of the application scenarios to illustrate the electronic device accessories 100 in this article. For example, the user can place the one of the two support members 2 that is not connected to the accessory body 20 flat on the external support platform, and then adjust the opening and closing angle between the two support members 2, or adjust the opening and closing angle between the accessory body 20 and the support member 2 connected to the accessory body 20, or both opening and closing angles can be adjusted, so that there is a certain space between the accessory body 20 and the external support platform. The space can reduce positional interference during some functional operations. For example, when the user is charging, the space can provide operating space for an external cable to be plugged into the charging port of an electronic device.

[0040] Furthermore, the accessory body 20 includes a functional interface 201, which is used to connect an external cable. When the bracket is in the first supporting state, the functional interface 201 faces the external supporting platform and is suspended relative to the external supporting platform. The external cable can be removed from the functional interface 201 without being interfered by the external supporting platform. With this arrangement, the user can insert the external cable into the functional interface 201 through the space between the accessory body 20 and the external supporting platform. The existence of this space can provide operating space for the external cable to be inserted into the charging port of the electronic device.

[0041] The bracket 10 and the electronic device accessory 100 of the present application are rotatably connected to the connecting member 1 at one end through at least two rotatably connected supporting members 2. The connecting member 1 is used to connect or attach external devices, and the other end contacts a supporting platform. The multiple supporting members 2 that rotate with each other can realize the external device against or away from the external supporting platform, that is, the functional interface 201 of the external device can be lifted off the supporting platform, which solves the technical problem that when the bracket 10 supports the electronic device for use by the user, the functional interface 201 is unavailable due to interference from the external supporting platform.

[0042] Specifically, see Figure 2-Figure 4 In this embodiment, the electronic device accessory 100 also includes a rotating member 3, and the connecting member 1 is rotatably connected to the accessory body 20 through the rotating member 3, so that the accessory body 20 can be rotated in another direction relative to the connecting member 1 and the supporting member 2. For example, taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example, when in use, the rotating member 3 can be used to switch the horizontal and vertical screen placement.

[0043] Herein, at least two support members 2 including a first support member 21 and a second support member 22 are used as an example for explanation. The first support member 21 is movably connected to the connecting member 1, and the external device is suspended relative to the external support platform. The second support member 22 is movably connected to the first support member 21, and the second support member 22 contacts the external support platform. The first support member 21 and the second support member 22 work together to keep the external device in the first support state. In this embodiment, the second support member 22 can be placed flat on the external support platform, and then the opening and closing angle between the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 can be adjusted, or the opening and closing angle between the accessory body 20 and the first support member 21 can be adjusted, or both opening and closing angles can be adjusted, so that there is a certain space between the accessory body 20 and the external support platform, and the space can reduce the position interference in some functional operation processes. For example, when the user is charging, the space can provide an operating space for external cables such as charging cables to be plugged into the charging port of the electronic device. It can be understood that the way to achieve support by active connection can include rotation, folding, telescopic, etc.

[0044] The first support member 21 includes a first receiving portion 211. When the second support member 22 is rotated and received in the first receiving portion 211, the first support member 21 supports the external device so that the external device is against the external support platform. In another embodiment, when the second support member 22 contacts the external support platform, the first support member 21 rotates relative to the second support member 22 within a preset angle range, and the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 support the external device so that the external device is away from the external support platform. In this embodiment, the user can use the bracket 10 in a flexible and changeable manner. For example, the user can rotate the second support member 22 to be received in the first receiving portion 211, and support the first support member 21 on the external support platform; or take the second support member 212 out of the first receiving portion 211, and the user can also support the second support member 22 on the external support platform, and the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 support the external device so that the external device is away from the external support platform.

[0045] In more detail, the second support member 22 is circular or annular, the first support member 21 is circular or annular, the first receiving portion 211 is a circular area or annular area surrounded by the first support member 21, and the first support member 21 can be rotatably received in the circular area or the annular area. It can be understood that the first receiving portion 211 can be a through hole structure that passes through the opposite sides of the first support member 21, or the first receiving portion 211 is a groove formed on the first support member 21.

[0046] In another embodiment, the connector 1 or the external device includes a second storage portion 202, and the first support member 21 and / or the second support member 22 can be rotatably stored in the second storage portion 202. In this embodiment, the first support member 21 can be stored in the second storage portion 202, the second support member 22 can be stored in the second storage portion 202, or the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 can be stored in the second storage portion 202, so as to increase the compactness of the structure of the bracket 10 and facilitate the use of the user. For example, when the second support member 22 and the first support member 21 are stored in the second storage portion 202, the structure of the electronic device accessory 100 is relatively compact, and the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 can be embedded in the accessory body 20, so as not to affect the user's experience of holding the accessory body 20. In summary, in this embodiment, the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 are used to support the external device to maintain multiple support postures or angles, that is, the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 can be independently opened in different directions relative to the connecting member 1, and the support directions of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 are different, so that when the bracket 10 is applied to the external device, one of the two support members 2 can be used for the vertical support of the external device on the desktop, and the other can be used for the horizontal support of the external device on the desktop, which enhances the versatility of the external device support. At the same time, the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 can be rotatably stored in the second storage portion 202. When the bracket 10 is in the storage state, the size of the bracket 10 is small, easy to use, and does not affect the user's experience of holding the accessory body 20. It can be understood that, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present application, the connector 1 can be directly rotatably connected to the second receiving portion 202. It can be understood that the second receiving portion 202 is a groove. In another embodiment, a receiving groove 203 is further provided on the accessory body 20, and the connector 1 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 203 by the rotating member 3, and the second support member 22 and the first support member 21 can be received in the second receiving portion 202, so as to flexibly adjust the orientation of the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 relative to the accessory body 20. In this embodiment, the connector 1 can be annular to facilitate the connector 1 to rotate relative to the receiving groove 203.

[0047] In another embodiment, the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 are annular, and an installation space 2121 is set on the first support member 21 and / or the second support member 22. The bracket 10 also includes a rotating member 4, and the rotating member 4 is arranged in the installation space 2121. The first support member 21 and the second support member 22 are rotatably connected through the rotating member 4. The rotating member 4 is arranged away from the external device so that the other end of the second support member 22 is close to the external device. The thickness of the rotating member 4 is less than or equal to the depth of the installation space 2121, so that when the second support member 22 is stored in the first storage portion 211, the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 can be flatly stored in the second storage portion 202, and when the second support member 22 supports the external device in the first supporting state, the second support member 22 can be flatly attached to the external support platform. In some embodiments, the first support member 21 includes a support portion 212. When the second support member 22 is received in the first receiving portion 211, the support portion 212 surrounds the outer periphery of the second support member 22 to protect the second support member 22 and prevent foreign objects from knocking against the second support member 22. The support portion 212 is provided with an installation space 2121, and the rotating member 4 is located in the installation space 2121 and is rotatably connected to the support portion 212. In this arrangement, when the second support member 22 rotates to the first receiving portion 211, there is no structural interference between the second support member 22 and the support portion 212.

[0048] In more detail, the external device is a symmetrical rectangle, and the symmetry center lines of the external device and the installation space 2121 are located on the same axial plane. In this embodiment, the symmetry center lines of the external device and the installation space 2121 are located on the same axial plane, which can increase the balance when the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 support the external device, and prevent the external device from tilting.

[0049] In another embodiment, the bracket 10 further includes a magnetic member 23. When the first support member 21 or the second support member 22 is received in the second receiving portion 202, the first support member 21 and the second support member 22 are magnetically connected to an external charging device or a suspension device through a magnetic member. For example, in this embodiment, taking the magnetic member 23 provided on the first support member 21 as an example, when the second support member 22 is received in the second receiving portion 202, the external charging device or the suspension device can be adsorbed on the first support member 21. In this way, the electronic device can be powered by the external charging device; or the electronic device can be loaded by the suspension device. It can be understood that the external charging device can be a magsafe charger; the suspension device can be a structure such as a vehicle bracket 10. Among them, when the second support member 22 is received in the second receiving portion 202, the front or back of the second support member 22 is flush with the surface of the accessory body 20. With such a configuration, when the second support member 22 is stored in the second storage portion 202 and the magsafe charger is magnetically attracted to the first support member 21 and the second support member 22, it is prevented that the magsafe charger is suspended between the first support member 21 and the second support member 22, resulting in a situation where the electronic device cannot be charged.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second storage portion 202 includes an opening position 2021, and the opening position 2021 is arranged corresponding to a part of the position of the rotating member 4 or the first support member 21. When the first support member 21 is stored in the second storage portion 202, a gap 2022 is formed between the opening position 2021 and the rotating member 4 or the first support member 21. With such an arrangement, when the first support member 21 is stored in the second storage portion 202, it is convenient for the user to move the first support member 21 or the second support member 22 from the gap 2022 between the opening position 2021 and the rotating member 4 or the first support member 21 to the angle the user wants to adjust.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
