[0002] At present, mobile phones and other electronic products have become indispensable tools in people's daily lives, and accessories such as protective cases and mobile power supplies used with them are becoming more and more common. For example, a protective case usually has a bracket installed in a rotation to support the mobile phone, making it convenient for users to watch videos.

[0003] Currently, there are brackets on the market that can rotate relative to the protective shell in the circumferential direction, so that users can adjust the support direction and support angle of the bracket. However, since the bracket is generally made of metal or alloy, and the protective shell is generally made of PC, TPU or glass, the protective shell will be continuously worn by the bracket during the rotation of the bracket relative to the protective shell. Therefore, after a certain number of rotations, the bracket may not be able to be used normally due to excessive wear of the protective shell. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides an electronic equipment accessory to solve the problem that the existing bracket causes wear to the protective shell during the rotation process.

[0012] In some embodiments, the accessory body is a protective shell, which includes a back plate and a frame that is surrounded by the back plate to form a receiving space, and the recessed portion passes through the back plate.

[0013] In some embodiments, a shielding member is provided on a side of the back plate close to the receiving space, the shielding member covers the recessed portion, and the rotating seat is located on a side of the shielding member away from the receiving space.

[0014] In some embodiments, the hardness of the connecting member is greater than the hardness of the accessory body; or, the strength of the connecting member is greater than the strength of the accessory body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form a new embodiment.

[0027] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0028] It should also be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed on" or "disposed on" another element, the element may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 7An electronic device accessory 10 provided by an embodiment of the utility model includes an accessory body 12, a bracket 14 and a connecting member 16. The bracket 14 includes a rotating seat 18 and a support member 20 rotatably connected to the rotating seat 18. The accessory body 12 includes a connecting structure. The connecting member 16 is embedded in the connecting structure or attached to the side wall of the connecting structure to remain relatively fixed with the accessory body 12. The rotating seat 18 is rotationally matched with the connecting member 16, that is, the rotating seat 18 is rotationally matched with the accessory body 12 through the connecting member 16, so that the rotating seat 18 can rotate relative to the connecting member 16 and the accessory body 12. When the support member 20 rotates a certain angle relative to the rotating seat 18 so that a certain angle is formed between the support member 20 and the accessory body 12, the support member 20 can play the role of supporting the accessory body 12. When the rotating seat 18 rotates relative to the accessory body 12, it can drive the support member 20 to move together to adjust the position of the support member 20, change the support direction, and achieve the effect of horizontal support and vertical support. In addition, in the horizontal support and vertical support states, the support angle of the support member 20 can be adjusted by rotating the support member 20, so that the bracket 14 is more flexible during use. At the same time, since the rotating seat 18 is indirectly connected to the accessory body 12 through the connecting member 16, when the rotating seat 18 rotates relative to the accessory body 12, the rotating seat 18 generates friction with the connecting member 16 instead of the accessory body 12, thereby reducing the wear on the accessory body 12 and extending the service life.

[0030] The specific type of the accessory body 12 is not limited, such as a protective case, a mobile power supply, a wireless charger, etc. In this embodiment, the accessory body 12 is a protective case, which is used to be mounted on the outside of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets to protect the electronic devices. When the support member 20 of the bracket 14 supports the accessory body 12, it can play the role of supporting the electronic device, so that the user can watch videos conveniently.

[0031] The specific manner in which the support member 20 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 18 is not limited. In the present embodiment, a connecting seat 24 is provided at one end of the support member 20 close to the rotating seat 18. One end of the connecting seat 24 is relatively fixed to the support member 20, and a rotating shaft 26 is provided at the other end. The connecting seat 24 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 18 via the rotating shaft 26, that is, the support member 20 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 18 via the connecting seat 24 and the rotating shaft 26, so as to achieve the effect that the support member 20 can rotate relative to the rotating seat 18.

[0032] Preferably, the hardness of the connecting member 16 is greater than the hardness of the accessory body 12, and the rotating seat 18 is indirectly rotated to the accessory body 12 through the connecting member 16. Compared with the method in which the rotating seat 18 is directly rotatably installed to the accessory body 12, the indirect rotating connection can convert the wear of the rotating seat 18 on the accessory body 12 during the rotation process into the wear of the connecting member 16. The hardness of the connecting member 16 is relatively large, so the wear resistance is better, so that the rotating seat 18 wears the connecting member 16 relatively less during rotation, thereby extending the service life of the bracket 14.

[0033] It can be understood that the connecting member 16 may have an overall hardness greater than the hardness of the accessory body 12, or may have a hardness greater than the hardness of the accessory body 12 only in a local position, that is, the hardness of the contact portion between the connecting member 16 and the rotating seat 18 is greater than the hardness of the accessory body 12. For example, a wear-resistant layer is provided on the surface of the connecting member 16 close to the rotating seat 18.

[0034] In this embodiment, the connecting part 16 is a metal part made of a high-hardness material such as manganese steel, and the accessory body 12 is made of silicone or plastic. The overall hardness of the connecting part 16 is greater than that of the accessory body 12 to enhance the wear resistance of the connecting part 16. At the same time, it can also reduce the risk of deformation of the connecting part 16 and separation of the rotating seat 18 from the connecting part 16.

[0035] In another embodiment, the strength of the connecting piece is greater than the strength of the accessory body. The greater the strength, the more wear-resistant it is. Therefore, the wear of the connecting piece can also be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the bracket.

[0036] In one embodiment, a groove 28 is provided on the outer circumferential side of the rotating seat 18, and the connecting member 16 is clamped in the groove 28 and can rotate in the groove 28. Along the thickness direction of the rotating seat 18, the connecting member 16 is clamped between two opposite inner walls of the groove 28, thereby forming a limiting effect in the thickness direction to prevent the rotating seat 18 from separating from the accessory body 12, and at the same time forming an effect of rotating with the connecting member 16 in the circumferential direction. During the rotation of the rotating seat 18 relative to the connecting member 16, the inner wall of the groove 28 will generate friction with the connecting member 16, and the connecting member 16 has good wear resistance and less wear, so the risk of the connecting member 16 withdrawing from the groove 28 due to wear can be reduced.

[0037] Preferably, the groove 28 and / or the connecting member 16 are in a circular ring shape, so that the rotating seat 18 can rotate 360° relative to the accessory body 12 to adjust the supporting angle and supporting direction of the supporting member 20 .

[0038] The rotating seat 18 includes a seat body 30 and a cover body 32 connected to the seat body 30, a groove 28 is formed between the seat body 30 and the cover body 32, and the connecting member 16 is clamped between the seat body 30 and the cover body 32. By dividing the rotating seat 18 into the seat body 30 and the cover body 32, during the assembly process of the rotating seat 18 and the connecting member 16, the rotating seat 18 can be separated first, and then the connecting member 16 is placed on the seat body 30, and then the cover body 32 is covered on the seat body 30, and the seat body 30 and the cover body 32 are fixed together, so that the connecting member 16 can be clamped between the seat body 30 and the cover body 32, forming an effect that the connecting member 16 is clamped in the groove 28, which is convenient for assembly.

[0039] The specific fixing method between the base body 30 and the cover body 32 is not limited, for example, fixing with a connecting piece 16, gluing, riveting, etc.

[0040] In one embodiment, the connection structure includes a recessed portion 34 for accommodating the rotating seat 18, the connecting member 16 is fixed to the recessed portion 34, and the rotating seat 18 is rotatably arranged in the recessed portion 34 through the connecting member 16. The rotating seat 18 and the connecting member 16 are accommodated in the recessed portion 34, which can reduce the abruptness.

[0041] The accessory body 12 is provided with a storage groove 36 for storing the support member 20, and the storage groove 36 is communicated with the recessed portion 34. When the support member 20 is not needed, the support member 20 can be rotated and stored in the storage groove 36, and when it is needed, the support member 20 can be rotated out of the storage groove 36, thereby reducing the abruptness of the bracket 14 when not in use and the overall thickness of the electronic device accessory 10, and also reducing the impact on the user holding the electronic device accessory 10.

[0042] Preferably, when the support member 20 is received in the receiving groove 36 , the outer surface of the support member 20 is flush with the corresponding outer surface of the electronic device or slightly protrudes outside the receiving groove 36 .

[0043] The connection structure also includes a mounting groove 38 provided on the circumferential inner wall of the recessed portion 34. The mounting groove 38 is connected to the recessed portion 34 and surrounds the outer side of the recessed portion 34. The connecting member 16 is embedded in the mounting groove 38 and is relatively fixed to the accessory body 12. That is, the connecting member 16 is partially inserted into the mounting groove 38 of the accessory body 12, and partially inserted into the groove 28 of the rotating seat 18. Therefore, the connecting member 16 can not only form a limiting effect on the rotating seat 18 in the axial direction to prevent the rotating seat 18 from separating from the accessory body 12, but also enable the rotating seat 18 to rotate and cooperate with the accessory body 12 in the circumferential direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, the installation groove 38 , the groove 28 and the connecting member 16 are all annular, the radial inner side of the connecting member 16 is inserted into the groove 28 , and the radial outer side of the connecting member 16 is inserted into the installation groove 38 .

[0045] The specific fixing method of the connecting member 16 and the accessory body 12 is not limited, such as gluing, mechanical fixing, fixing with a limiting structure, etc. In this embodiment, a first limiting portion 40 is provided on the outer side of the connecting member 16, and a second limiting portion 42 is provided on the inner wall of the installation groove 38. The first limiting portion 40 and the second limiting portion 42 cooperate with each other to relatively fix the connecting member 16 and the accessory body 12.

[0046] The specific forms of the first limiting portion 40 and the second limiting portion 42 are not limited, as long as they can be relatively fixed in the circumferential direction. Specifically, the first limiting portion 40 is a limiting protrusion, and the second limiting portion 42 is a limiting groove, which is connected to the mounting groove 38, and the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove, thereby forming a limiting effect.

[0047] The specific number of the limiting protrusions and the limiting grooves is not limited, and they can be one or more.

[0048] In this embodiment, the accessory body 12 is a protective shell, which includes a back panel 44 and a frame 46 arranged around the outer periphery of the back panel 44. The back panel 44 and the frame 46 together form a receiving space 48 for storing electronic equipment. The rotating seat 18 of the bracket 14 is rotatably installed on the back panel 44 of the protective shell through the connecting member 16.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the recessed portion 34 passes through the back plate 44 , and a shielding member 50 covering the recessed portion 34 is provided on a side of the back plate 44 close to the receiving space 48 , and the rotating seat 18 is located on a side of the shielding member 50 away from the receiving space 48 . Since the recessed portion 34 passes through the back plate 44, during the process of installing the support member 20 to the back plate 44, the connector 16 can be first fixedly installed to the mounting groove 38 on the back plate 44, and then the seat body 30 of the rotating seat 18 can be inserted into the recessed portion 34 from the side of the back plate 44 away from the receiving space 48, and then the cover body 32 of the rotating seat 18 can be placed into the recessed portion 34 from the side of the back plate 44 close to the receiving space 48, and the cover body 32 and the seat body 30 can be fixed together. At this time, the connector 16 is clamped between the seat body 30 and the cover body 32, and the connector 16 can prevent the rotating seat 18 from detaching from the recessed portion 34, thereby completing the installation of the connector 16 and the rotating seat 18. The installation operation is simple and easy to assemble, and the shielding member 50 can separate the rotating seat 18 from the receiving space 48, thereby preventing the rotating seat 18 from rubbing against the electronic equipment in the receiving space 48 during rotation and causing wear.

[0050] like Figure 7As shown, in another embodiment, the recessed portion 34 is disposed on a side of the back plate 44 away from the receiving space 48, and the recessed portion 34 is spaced apart from the receiving space 48, that is, the depth of the recessed portion 34 is less than the thickness of the back plate 44, and the recessed portion 34 does not penetrate the back plate 44. Therefore, after the rotating seat 18 is installed in the recessed portion 34, the rotating seat 18 will not contact the electronic device to avoid damaging the electronic device during rotation.

[0051] In one embodiment, an elastic positioning structure 52 is provided between the rotating seat 18 and the connecting member 16 . The elastic positioning structure 52 has a positioning effect and can position the rotating seat 18 at a corresponding position to enhance the stability of the rotating seat 18 at the position, thereby enhancing the supporting stability of the supporting member 20 .

[0052] The elastic positioning structure 52 includes a positioning member 54 movably disposed on the rotating seat 18, an elastic member 56 located between the positioning member 54 and the rotating seat 18, and a positioning space 58 disposed on the connection. The positioning member 54 can be inserted into the positioning space 58 or withdrawn from the positioning space 58 under the action of the elastic member 56. In the process of rotating the rotating seat 18, the connecting member 16 will squeeze the positioning member 54, and the elastic member 56 will be compressed, so that the positioning member 54 will withdraw from the positioning space 58 of the connecting member 16. The rotating seat 18 continues to rotate. When the positioning member 54 moves to another positioning space 58, the positioning member 54 can be inserted into the positioning space 58 under the elastic force of the elastic member 56, thereby forming a positioning effect.

[0053] The specific number of positioning members 54 and positioning spaces 58 is not limited, and can be one or more, and the number of positioning members 54 and positioning spaces 58 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, the number of positioning members 54 is one, and the number of positioning spaces 58 is multiple. The multiple positioning spaces 58 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the connecting member 16. The rotating seat 18 can cooperate with any positioning space 58 during the rotation process to form a positioning effect. Specifically, the number of positioning spaces 58 is four, and the four positioning spaces 58 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the connecting member 16, and the four positioning positions correspond to the four sides of the protective shell.

[0054] The specific type of the elastic member 56 is not limited. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 56 is a spring.

[0055] In this embodiment, the end of the elastic member 56 close to the positioning space 58 and the cross-sectional shape of the positioning space 58 are both arc-shaped to reduce the friction between the positioning member 54 and the connecting member 16 and facilitate the positioning member 54 to enter or exit the positioning space 58.

[0056] The specific shape of the positioning member 54 is not limited. For example, the shape of the positioning member 54 can be similar to a "ji" character shape, with one end close to the connecting member 16 being arc-shaped, and the elastic member 56 being received inside the positioning member 54. Alternatively, the shape of the positioning member 54 can also be similar to a "T" character shape, with one end close to the connecting member 16 being arc-shaped, and the elastic member 56 being sleeved on the end of the positioning member 54 away from the connecting member 16.

[0057] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present utility model fall within the scope of protection required by the present utility model.
