[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 A protective shell 1 provided in an embodiment of the utility model includes: a shell 10 and a support structure 20.

[0029] like Figure 1-2 As shown, specifically, a receiving cavity 101 is formed on the shell 10, and the shell 10 may be, for example, a plastic shell or a silicone shell, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto. The receiving cavity 101 is used to wrap electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, etc. In the present embodiment, the receiving cavity 101 wraps a mobile phone for example. The shell 10 may, for example, include a back panel and side frames, and the side frames are connected to the back panel. The side frames and the back panel form the receiving cavity 101. The side frames may, for example, include a bottom side frame and a top side frame, as well as left and right side frames. The back panel and the side frames may protect the electronic device so that the electronic device is not easily damaged when it falls. The side frames and the back panel may, for example, be integrally formed.

[0030] The housing 10 is provided with a camera avoidance hole 11, which can be provided on the back plate of the housing 10. In the present embodiment, the position of the camera avoidance hole 11 can be set according to the camera assembly on the electronic device. A support structure 20 is provided around the camera avoidance hole 11 on the side of the housing 10 away from the accommodating cavity 101. The support structure 20 includes a support portion 21, a support base 22 and a connector 23. The support base 22 is provided around the camera avoidance hole 11, and the connector 23 is located outside the camera avoidance hole 11. The connector 23 is respectively connected to the support base 22 and the housing 21. The support portion 21 is, for example, a support assembly. When the support assembly is in the storage state, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the bracket portion 21 can form a protective shell for the camera assembly. When the bracket assembly is in a supporting state, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the support structure 20 can be used as a support to support the electronic device. The connecting member 23 is, for example, a rotatable connecting member, such as a hinge structure, and the support base 22 is, for example, an annular strip structure, which is arranged on the side of the back plate away from the accommodating cavity 101 and is arranged around the camera avoidance hole 11. The support base 22 can also be, for example, an annular frame structure.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bracket base 22 is arranged around the camera avoidance hole 11 on one side surface away from the accommodating cavity 101, that is, on the back side of the back plate of the shell, and surrounds the camera avoidance hole 11, and the connecting member 23 is arranged outside the camera avoidance hole 11, and connected to the bracket base 22 and the bracket part 21, so that the connecting member 23 is located outside the camera avoidance hole 11 and does not directly contact the electronic device, thereby reducing the damage of the connecting member 23 to the electronic device, and improving the service life of the electronic device set in the protective shell 10. Users do not need to worry about the electronic device being damaged when placed in the protective shell 10, thereby improving the user experience and sense of use.

[0032] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket base 22 is connected to the shell 10, and the bracket base includes a first mounting surface 2201 and a second mounting surface 2202 opposite to the first mounting surface 2201. The first mounting surface 2201 is located in the shell 10, that is, the first mounting surface is located in the accommodating cavity 101. When the accommodating cavity 101 contains an electronic device, the first mounting surface 2201 contacts the back of the electronic device. The second mounting surface 2202 is located outside the shell 10, and the connector is connected to the second mounting surface 2202. By setting the first mounting surface 2201 of the bracket base 22 inside the shell 10 and setting the second mounting surface 2202 outside the shell, the connector 23 is set on the second mounting surface 2202 and will not contact the electronic device placed in the shell 10, thereby reducing the damage of the connector 23 to the electronic device and improving the service life of the electronic device set in the protective shell 10.

[0033] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket base 22 is provided with a first groove 31, and the first groove 31 is engaged with the hole wall 12 of the camera avoidance hole 11. By setting the first groove 31 and the hole wall 12 around the camera avoidance hole 11 to cooperate and engage with each other, the bracket base 22 can be engaged around the camera avoidance hole 11, thereby realizing the function of fixed connection. The first groove 31 is, for example, a card slot structure. In this embodiment, the first groove 31 can be arranged around the side of the bracket base 22, and the bracket base 22, for example, includes four side edges, and the first groove 31 can be arranged around the four side edges.

[0034] Further, the first groove 31 is located between the first mounting surface 2201 and the second mounting surface 2202 , and the connecting member 23 is disposed on a side of the second mounting surface 2202 away from the first groove 31 .

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, if Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the support base 22 may include, for example, a first frame 221 , a second frame 222 , a third frame 223 and a fourth frame 224 .

[0036] The first frame 221 is arranged corresponding to the second frame 222, the third frame 223 is arranged corresponding to the fourth frame 224, and both are arranged between the first frame 221 and the second frame 222. The first frame 221, the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are surrounded to form a ring-shaped bracket base 22, and the first groove 31 can be arranged on at least one of the first frame 221, the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224, that is, the first groove 31 can be arranged on the first frame 221, or on the first frame 221 and the second frame 222, and of course, can also be arranged on the first frame 221, the second frame 222 and the third frame 223, and can be arranged according to actual conditions, and is not limited here.

[0037] Furthermore, the first groove 31 may be provided on the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224. That is, the first groove 31 may not be provided on the first frame 221. By such a configuration, the support base 22 can be conveniently clamped around the camera avoidance hole 11, and the support structure 20 can be conveniently assembled in the camera avoidance hole 11.

[0038] Among them, Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, a second groove 225 is provided on the second mounting surface 2202 . The second groove 225 is located on the first frame 221 . A rivet 32 ​​is provided on the second groove 225 . The connecting member 23 is riveted to the rivet 32 ​​.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the connecting member 23 includes, for example, a first hinge structure 231 and a second hinge structure 232, wherein the first hinge structure 231 is connected to the second mounting surface 2202, the second hinge structure 232 is connected to the bracket portion 21, the first hinge structure 231 and the second hinge structure 232 are rotatably connected, and can be connected together by a rotating shaft to achieve rotatable connection, for example, and the surface height of the first hinge structure 231 on the connecting member 23 is not higher than the surface height of the bracket base 22. In this embodiment, the rivet 32 ​​is, for example, a rivet column. In this embodiment, by limiting the height of the surface of the first hinge structure 231 in the connecting member 23 to be not higher than the height of the side surface of the bracket base 22 away from the accommodating cavity 101, the first hinge structure 231 will not be higher than the upper surface of the bracket base 22 after being installed on the rivet 32, so that the bracket base 22 and the connecting member 23 are more beautiful and flush after being fixedly connected, thereby improving the user's experience of using the protective shell 1.

[0040] Furthermore, the width of the first frame 221 is greater than or equal to the second frame 222 and / or the third frame 223 and / or the fourth frame 224. Specifically, for example, the widths of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are equal, and are, for example, less than 0.5 cm. At this time, the widths of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are equivalent to the width of the narrow side. At this time, since the first frame 221 needs to be installed with a rivet 32, the width of the first frame 221 is, for example, greater than 0.5 cm, and the width of the first frame 221 is greater than any one of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224. When the widths of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are equal and 1 cm, the widths of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are too wide, and the width of the first frame 221 is equal to any one of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224. Of course, in other embodiments, the widths of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are not equal. When the widths of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are narrow enough, for example, less than 0.5 cm, the width of the first frame 221 is greater than the widest frame among the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224; when the widths of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 are all greater than 0.5 cm, the first frame 221 can be equal to any one of the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224. The widths of the first frame 221, the second frame 222, the third frame 223 and the fourth frame 224 can be set according to actual conditions, as long as the width of the first frame 221 can be greater than the preset value, for example, 0.5 cm, and are not specifically limited here.

[0041] like Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the support base 22 is further provided with a step portion 33, and the step portion 33 is provided on the second mounting surface 2202 and is located on the first frame 221. The height of the step top surface of the step portion 33 is lower than the height of the groove bottom surface of the second groove 225, as shown in FIG. Figure 5As shown, the connecting member 23 is, for example, a hinge structure, and the hinge structure is installed at the connection position on the rivet 32 ​​to form a step portion 33, and the step portion 33 is, for example, a limiting step. The limiting step can increase the angle of the bracket portion 21 in the bracket structure 20 when it is opened. When the bracket portion 21 rotates to a certain angle, the end of the bracket portion 21 close to the connecting member 23 will abut against the bracket base 22, and the bracket portion 21 can no longer rotate. By limiting the height of the step top surface of the step portion 33 to be lower than the height of the groove bottom surface of the second groove 225, the rotation angle of the bracket portion 21 when it is opened can be larger than before, so that it can support more angles of support, thereby improving the user's experience and sense of use.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, the first groove 31 includes a first side wall 311 and a second side wall 312 corresponding to the first side wall 311, the first side wall 311 is located outside the housing 10 and is arranged on the second mounting surface 2202, and the second side wall 312 is located inside the housing 312 and is arranged on the first mounting surface 2201. In this embodiment, the first side wall 311 is, for example, an upper side wall extending outward from the first groove 31, and the second side wall 312 is, for example, a lower side wall extending outward from the first groove 31. The first groove 31 may be formed between the upper side wall and the lower side wall. The first length L1 of the first side wall 311 extending from the first groove 31 toward away from the camera avoidance hole 11 is less than the second length L2 of the second side wall 312 extending from the first groove 31 toward away from the camera avoidance hole 11. The groove wall of the lower groove edge is located inside the shell, that is, inside the accommodating cavity, and the groove wall of the upper side wall is located outside the protective shell. When the electronic device is placed in the accommodating cavity 101, the bracket base 22 will not fall off from the side close to the electronic device due to the shielding of the electronic device. It is easy to fall off in the direction away from the bottom device. Therefore, by setting the length of L1 to be smaller than the length of L2, it can be prevented that when the bracket part 21 is under force, the bracket base 22 is prevented from falling off from the protective shell in the direction away from the accommodating cavity 101.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective shell 1 further includes a cover 34, which is disposed on the connecting member 23 and is, for example, a Mylar sheet. Figure 3As shown, the connector 23 may include a first hinge structure 231 and a second hinge structure 232, the first hinge structure 231 is riveted to the bracket base 22, and the second hinge structure 232 is connected to the bracket portion 21. The cover 34 may, for example, include two covers, which are respectively arranged on the first hinge structure 231 and the second hinge structure 232. The number of covers 34 may be set according to the specific structure of the connector 23, which is not specifically limited here. In this embodiment, by providing the cover 34 to cover the connector 23, the Mylar sheet can cover the specific structure of the connector 23, such as the hinge structure, which can play a role in aesthetics and prevent dust from entering the hinge structure to cause damage to the hinge structure, thereby improving the service life of the hinge structure.
