[0020] Embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, but should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the shell assembly of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a shell body 1 and a protective plate 2. The shell body 1 has a first end and a second end in its thickness direction. The first end is adjacent to the outside relative to the second end. The protective plate 2 is connected to the shell body 1 and is located at the second end.

[0022] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the first end of the shell body 1 is the end facing the outside, in other words, the first end is the outer end face, and the corresponding second end is the inner end face of the shell body 1. The protective plate 2 is installed on the inner end face of the shell body 1, and the protective plate 2 fits the inner end face of the shell body 1.

[0023] The shell assembly of the disclosed embodiment adds a protective plate 2 on the inner end surface of the shell body 1. The protective plate 2 can offset the impact force and at the same time can hold the shell body 1 due to its own strength, thereby improving the strength of the shell, preventing it from being broken due to excessive bending, and reducing the risk of the shell being broken when the whole machine falls.

[0024] In some embodiments, the shell body 1 has a frame 11 around it, and the frame 11 encloses a receiving space 12 . The protective plate 2 is located in the receiving space 12 , and the edge of the protective plate 2 contacts the side of the frame 11 facing the receiving space 12 .

[0025] Specifically, Figure 1As shown, the shell body 1 is surrounded by a circle of frame 11 on all four edges, and the circle of frame 11 and the shell body 1 form a accommodating space 12 which is open at one end. The protective plate 2 is installed in the accommodating space 12, and the end face of the protective plate 2 facing the frame 11 is in contact with the inner surface of the frame 11, so that when the electronic device falls, the impact force on the shell body 1 can be transmitted to the protective plate 2, and the protective plate 2 is used to offset the impact force, thereby improving the impact resistance of the shell body 1.

[0026] In some embodiments, the dimension of the protective plate 2 in the thickness direction of the shell body 1 is smaller than the dimension of the frame 11 in the thickness direction of the shell body 1. In other words, the thickness of the protective plate 2 is smaller than the thickness of the frame 11, that is, the protective plate 2 is completely placed in the accommodating space 12, reducing the space occupied by the protective plate 2, and facilitating the assembly of the shell body 1 with other components.

[0027] In some embodiments, the housing body 1 has a bending portion 13 , and the protection plate 2 is located at the bending portion 13 .

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the shell body 1 has a bending portion 13 , and the bending portion 13 has a certain curvature. The protection plate 2 is installed at the position where the curvature of the bending portion 13 is the largest, and can also be installed at the entire bending portion 13 .

[0029] It should be noted that since the shell is most likely to bend at its maximum curvature, causing the shell to break, installing a protective plate 2 on the entire bending portion 13 of the shell body 1 or at a position where the curvature of the bending portion 13 is maximum can reduce the risk of the shell body 1 breaking or breaking.

[0030] In some embodiments, there are multiple bending portions 13 and multiple protection plates 2 , and the multiple protection plates 2 correspond to the multiple bending portions 13 one by one.

[0031] For example, the number of the bending portions 13 can be four, and the four bending portions 13 are arranged diagonally in the circumferential direction of the shell body 1, then the number of the protective plates 2 is also four, and the four protective plates 2 are installed one by one at the four bending portions 13, so as to protect each bending portion 13 and improve the structural strength of the entire shell body 1.

[0032] In some embodiments, the outer contour of one side of the protective plate 2 adjacent to the bending portion 13 is adapted to the inner contour of the bending portion 13, and the outer contour of one side end face of the protective plate 2 adjacent to the bending portion 13 is adapted to the outer contour of the side end face of the bending portion 13 facing the protective plate 2, which can increase the contact area between the protective plate 2 and the bending portion 13, thereby improving the performance of offsetting impact force.

[0033] In some embodiments, the protective plate 2 is detachably connected to the housing body 1. For example, the protective plate 2 can be detachably connected to the housing body 1 by snaps, and the detachable connection of the protective plate 2 to the housing body 1 can improve the assembly efficiency of the entire housing body 1.

[0034] In some embodiments, the shell assembly further includes an adhesive layer 3 , and the adhesive layer 3 is located between the protective plate 2 and the shell body 1 .

[0035] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the adhesive layer 3 is located between the frame 11 and the protective plate 2, or the adhesive layer 3 is provided between the outer end surface of the protective plate 2 and the inner end surface of the shell body 1, and between the protective plate 2 and the frame 11. The adhesive layer 3 can improve the connection stability between the protective plate 2 and the shell body 1, and the adhesive layer 3 also plays a certain buffering role, absorbing part of the impact force of the shell body 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, the protective plate 2 is a stainless steel protective plate 2. The stainless steel protective plate 2 can not only improve the structural strength of the entire housing body 1, but also reduce the impact of the protective plate 2 on functional devices such as the electronic device antenna due to the low magnetism of stainless steel itself.
