[0002] The bracket protective case (a kind of electronic device accessories) is generally used for users to watch movies and videos, etc., and supports mobile phones and other electronic devices through the bracket that comes with the protective case. An existing circular bracket is generally connected to the middle position of the back of the mobile phone case. The bracket is set as a circular ring to avoid the wireless charging coil of the mobile phone. When the mobile phone is installed in the mobile phone case, the wireless charging coil of the mobile phone is just in the area surrounded by the circular bracket.

In particular, when describing "a certain element", the present application does not limit the number of the element to one, but may also include multiple elements.

[0032] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present application provides a bracket assembly 10, which can be configured on an electronic device accessory so that the electronic device accessory has a supporting function. The electronic device accessory can be applied to a protective case, a bracket, a mobile power supply, a card holder or a wireless charger of an electronic device with a wireless charging function such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. The present application takes a mobile phone protective case as an example for detailed description. For example, the electronic device accessory includes a main body, and the bracket assembly 10 is disposed on the main body. The bracket assembly 10 is connected to the main body and can be used to support and stand up the electronic device accessory and the electronic device installed on the electronic device accessory. The main body is, for example, the shell of a mobile phone protective case, and the main body includes a back plate and a side frame connected to the periphery of the back plate.

In other embodiments, the main body can also be a shell, a protective case or an electronic device holder of a mobile power supply, a card holder or a wireless charger.

[0033] In this application, if Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the bracket assembly 10 includes an annular support component 12, and the support component 12 includes a first support portion 14 and a second support portion 16 connected in an annular manner, wherein the first support portion 14 is made of metal material, such as metal or alloy, and the second support portion 16 is made of non-metal material, such as plastic, and the first support portion 14 and the second support portion 16 are an integrally formed structure. The present application sets the support component 12 as a metal part and a non-metal part integrally connected in an annular manner. On the one hand, the metal part can be effectively prevented from forming an annular closed structure to cause disturbance to the wireless transmission of the wireless charging coil. On the other hand, the integrally formed connection between the metal part and the non-metal part can enhance the structural strength and ensure the support stability of the support component 12.

[0034] In some embodiments, please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support component 12 can be connected to the back plate through a rotating structure, so that the support component 12 can rotate relative to the back plate between a supporting position and a storage position. When in the supporting position, the support component 12 and the back plate are at a preset supporting angle to support the main body and the mobile phone installed in the storage space to stand up. When in the storage position, the support component 12 is stored in the back plate as a whole. Preferably, a storage groove is provided on the back plate, and when the support component 12 is in the storage position, the support component 12 is stored in the storage groove as a whole.

[0035] In the illustrated embodiment, the first support portion 14 and the second support portion 16 can be integrally connected and fixed by means of integral molding such as injection molding, ultrasonic welding, and hot melting to ensure the support stability of the support component 12. Specifically, the first support portion 14 includes first connecting portions 18 disposed at two opposite ends of the ring, and correspondingly, the second support portion 16 includes second connecting portions 20 disposed at two opposite ends of the ring, and each first connecting portion 18 is integrally connected with the corresponding second connecting portion 20. From another perspective, the first support portion 14 has a break in the ring, and the second support portion 16 is connected to the break by means of integral molding, so that the first support portion 14 and the second support portion 16 together form a closed annular support component 12.

[0036] For further information, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connection portion 18 is a protrusion convexly arranged on the annular end wall of the first support portion 14, and the protrusion and the first support portion 14 are an integrally formed structure, and the second connection portion 20 is a recessed recessed on the annular end wall of the second support portion 16, and the protrusion is located in the recess and is integrally formed with the recess. Preferably, the protrusion is arranged at the middle position on the annular end wall of the first support portion 14, and the recess is arranged at the middle position on the annular end wall of the second support portion 16. In other embodiments, the setting positions of the protrusion and the recess can also be interchanged, that is, the protrusion is arranged on the second support portion 16, and the recess is arranged on the first support portion 14.

[0037] The protrusions can be set into different shapes as needed, for example, the protrusions are square, semicircular, semi-elliptical, triangular, trapezoidal or other irregular shapes, and the shape of the recesses is adapted to the protrusions. Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the protrusion is square, an injection hole 22 is provided on the protrusion, and a fixing column 24 is provided in the recess. The fixing column 24 is fixed in the injection hole 22 in an integral manner. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the outer side wall of the protrusion is a curved arc structure, and two injection holes 22 are provided on the protrusion, and the two injection holes 22 are arranged at intervals. Correspondingly, two fixing columns 24 are provided in the recess, and the two fixing columns 24 are fixed in the corresponding injection holes 22 in an integral manner. In other embodiments, the number of injection holes 22 and fixing columns 24 can also be other numbers, and the present application is not limited thereto.

[0038] When the protrusion and the depression are connected as one piece by injection molding, since the protrusion is made of metal and the second support part 16 is made of non-metallic material, the second support part 16 is melted into a liquid plastic raw material and poured into the mold from the injection hole 22. The injected plastic solidifies after cooling to form a solid second support part 16. At the same time, the second support part 16 forms a depression at the position corresponding to the protrusion and forms a fixing column 24 at the position corresponding to the injection hole 22. The fixing column 24 can prevent the second support part 16 from moving in the up, down, left and right directions, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the first support part 14 and the second support part 16.

[0039] In the embodiment shown, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a hand position 26 is provided on one radial side of the second support portion 16, so that the user can operate the support component 12 to rotate through the hand position 26. A first connection position 28 is provided on the first support portion 14 on one side opposite to the second support portion 16. The first connection position 28 is, for example, a groove structure, and the first connection position 28 is used to connect and fix with the rotating structure.

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, one first support portion 14 and one second support portion 16 are provided respectively. In other embodiments, a plurality of first support portions 14 and a plurality of second support portions 16 may be provided respectively, and the number of first support portions 14 is the same as the number of second support portions 16, for example, a plurality of first support portions 14 and a plurality of second support portions 16 are arranged alternately in the annular direction.

[0041] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the support component 12 also includes a magnetic suction component 30, which can be used to magnetically connect with external accessories, such as a wireless charger equipped with a magnetic suction structure, a car-mounted magnetic suction bracket, etc. In the embodiment shown, the magnetic suction component 30 includes a plurality of magnets, and the plurality of magnets are arranged along the circumferential direction of the first support portion 14. Preferably, a receiving portion 32 is provided on one side of the first support portion 14, and the receiving portion 32 is, for example, a groove structure, and the magnetic suction component 30 is received in the receiving portion 32, for example, the magnetic suction component 30 is glued and fixed to the bottom wall of the receiving portion 32. The support component 12 also includes a magnetic shielding member 34 and a cover member 36. The magnetic shielding member 34 is disposed on the opening side of the accommodating portion 32 and attached to the side of the magnetic component 30 close to the opening of the accommodating portion 32. The magnetic shielding member 34 is, for example, an iron sheet. By arranging the magnetic shielding member 34, the magnetic field on both sides of the magnetic component 30 can be changed, so that the magnetic field on the side of the magnetic component 30 attached to the magnetic shielding member 34 is weakened to avoid affecting the wireless transmission, and the magnetic field on the side of the magnetic component 30 away from the magnetic shielding member 34 is enhanced, increasing the magnetic attraction force connected to the external accessories, making the connection more stable. The cover member 36 is covered on the opening side of the accommodating portion 32 to prevent the magnetic component 30 and the magnetic shielding member 34 from falling out of the accommodating portion 32.

[0042] In other embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the bracket assembly 10 also includes an annular base component 38, the support component 12 and the base component 38 are rotatably connected through a rotating structure, and the base component 38 is rotatably connected to the back plate. Preferably, the bracket assembly 10 is integrally arranged on the side of the back plate away from the accommodating space, and an annular groove is arranged on the side of the back plate away from the accommodating space, and the base component 38 is rotatably arranged in the annular groove, for example, the base component 38 can rotate perpendicular to the circumferential direction of the back plate as the rotation axis, and a limiting structure can be arranged between the base component 38 and the annular groove to limit the base component 38 in the annular groove. The support component 12 and the base component 38 are rotatably connected through a rotating structure 40, and when the base component 38 rotates, the support component 12 can rotate together with the base component 38, so that the support component 12 can achieve multi-angle and multi-form support. The support component 12 can rotate relative to the base component 38 between a support position and a storage position. When in the support position, the support component 12 and the base component 38 are at a preset support angle to support the main body and the mobile phone to stand up. When in the storage position, the support component 12 is stored on the base component 38, for example, the support component 12 is stacked on the base component 38, or, as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, the base component 38 includes a storage portion 42. When the support component 12 is located at the storage position, the support component 12 is stored in the storage portion 42. The storage portion 42 is, for example, a groove structure. In the embodiment shown, the storage portion 42 is located radially inward of the top surface of the base component 38, and the storage portion 42 is a groove structure that penetrates the inner wall of the base component 38, so that the support component 12 is located radially inward of the base component 38, for example, the inner ring wall of the support component 12 is flush with the inner ring wall of the base component 38. The annular enclosed area of ​​the support component 12 and the base component 38 corresponds to the wireless transmission area of ​​the wireless charging coil, and such a setting can prevent the wireless transmission area from being blocked. In other embodiments, the storage portion 42 can also be located in the radial inner area enclosed by the base component 38, that is, the support component 12 is arranged radially side by side with the base component 38 when it is in the storage position.

[0043] In the embodiment shown, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the base component 38 includes a first base body portion 44 and a second base body portion 46 connected in a ring shape, wherein the first base body portion 44 is made of metal, the second base body portion 46 is made of non-metallic material, and the first base body portion 44 and the second base body portion 46 are an integrally formed structure. The structural setting of the base component 38 is consistent with the structural setting of the support component 12, and will not be repeated here.

[0044] Preferably, the second support portion 16 and the second seat body portion 46 at least partially overlap in the annular direction, or the break of the first support portion 14 and the break of the first seat body portion 44 at least partially overlap, so that the annular overall structure formed by the support component 12 and the base component 38 is not a closed metal ring in the annular direction, thereby avoiding disturbance of wireless transmission between wireless charging coils.

[0045] In the illustrated embodiment, the first seat body 44 is provided with a second connection position 48 corresponding to the rotating structure 40, and the second connection position 48 is, for example, a groove structure. Specifically, the rotating structure 40 includes a first connecting member 50, a second connecting member 52 and a rotating shaft 54, the first connecting member 50 includes a first connecting portion and a sleeve connected to one end of the first connecting portion, the second connecting member 52 includes a second connecting portion and a pivot seat connected to one end of the second connecting portion, and two pivot seats are provided, for example, and the two pivot seats are arranged at intervals, and each pivot seat is provided with an axis hole. The first connecting portion is fixedly connected to the first connecting position 28, for example, a riveting column is provided in the first connecting position 28, a riveting hole is provided on the first connecting portion, the first connecting portion and the first connecting position 28 are riveted and fixed through the riveting column and the riveting hole, and the sleeve protrudes out of the first connecting position 28. The second connection part is fixedly connected to the groove structure of the second connection position 48, for example, a riveting column is arranged in the groove structure of the second connection position 48, a riveting hole is arranged on the second connection part, the second connection part and the groove structure of the second connection position 48 are riveted and fixed through the riveting column and the riveting hole, and the pivot seat protrudes out of the groove structure of the second connection position 48 and is penetrated in the opening structure, so that the shaft hole corresponds to the sleeve hole position of the sleeve. The sleeve is located between the two pivot seats, and the shaft 54 ​​is penetrated in the shaft hole and the sleeve, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the support component 12 and the base component 38. Preferably, a damping structure can be arranged between the shaft 54 ​​and the sleeve or the shaft hole to increase the rotation resistance of the support component 12; or, the side of the shaft 54 ​​is arranged to be connected in sequence with a plane and an arc surface, such as two opposite planes and two opposite arc surfaces, and the sleeve or the shaft hole is designed to adapt to the side structure of the shaft 54, and the sleeve is, for example, a flexible metal, so as to form a rotation resistance during the rotation process. In this embodiment, the rotating structure 40 is located inside the base component 38 and does not occupy the thickness space of the back plate, so the thickness of the main body can be made thinner. In other embodiments, the rotating structure 40 can also be other rotating connection structures.
