[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] In the embodiment of the utility model, an electronic device protective shell with a locking structure is provided. Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a protective shell body 10, a support frame 20, and a connecting belt 30 connecting the protective shell body 10 and the support frame 20, characterized in that a mounting seat 11 is provided on the protective shell body 10; the support frame 20 includes a connecting member 21 and a supporting member 22 supporting the protective shell body 10; the connecting member 21 is connected to the supporting member 22 in a damped rotation manner; in one embodiment, one end of the connecting belt 30 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting member 21; as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, when the support frame is connected to the protective shell body, the head and tail ends of the connecting belt overlap each other and surround to form a ring structure, which can be hung on other objects or wrists, which is highly practical; the user can also adjust the angles of the connecting piece 21 and the supporting piece 22 according to their own usage habits, support the protective shell body through the supporting frame, and then place the protective shell body on the desktop at an angle, freeing the user's hands and providing a good user experience; the mounting seat 11 is provided with a mounting groove 12 for the connecting piece 21 to be inserted; optionally, the shape of the mounting groove 12 matches the outer contour shape of the connecting piece, and the mounting groove can be engaged with the connecting piece 21, which can not only be initially connected to the connecting piece, but also can position the connecting piece, which is convenient for subsequent locking and fixing; a locking component is provided between the mounting seat 11 and the connecting piece 21 to lock and fix the connecting piece 21 in the mounting groove 12.

[0029] The electronic device protective shell with a locking structure is cleverly designed. During installation, the connector is plugged into a slot on the mounting seat, and then the connector of the support frame is fixedly locked on the mounting seat on the electronic device protective shell through a locking assembly, so that the connection is firm. If the support frame is removed from the electronic device protective shell, it is only necessary to manually release the locking state of the locking assembly, which is simple to operate.

[0030] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 The figure shows a state diagram in which the support frame is separated from the protective shell body; the locking assembly includes two first locking grooves 23 respectively arranged on the opposite side edges of the connecting piece 21, and two locking units respectively arranged on the opposite side edges of the mounting seat 11 and plugged and locked with the corresponding first locking grooves 23; the locking units on both sides of the mounting seat are respectively plugged and fixed with the first locking grooves 23 on both sides of the connecting piece 21, so that the overall force of the connecting piece is more evenly applied, thereby making the connecting piece more stably fixed on the mounting seat and firmly connected.

[0031] Alternatively, if Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the mounting seat 11 is provided with first grooves 13 and through holes 14 corresponding to the first locking grooves 23 on both sides of the mounting groove 12; the through holes 14 are directly connected to the mounting groove 12; the two locking units are respectively located in the two first grooves 13; the volume is small and the structure is compact; when the connecting member 21 is installed on the mounting seat 11, the first groove 13 is connected to the first locking groove 23 through the through holes 14. After the connecting member and the mounting seat are assembled in place, the two locking units can be inserted into the first locking grooves 23 on the connecting member through the through holes 14, and the connection is stable.

[0032] Further, the locking unit includes a locking member 15 movably arranged in the first groove 13, and an elastic member 16 that provides a force for the locking member 15 to move along the through hole 14 toward the first locking groove 23 and keeps the locking member 15 plugged into the first locking groove 23. During the process of inserting the connecting member 21 into the installation groove, the connecting member 21 generates an extrusion force on the locking member 15, and the elastic member 16 is deformed and in a non-free state due to the force on the locking member 15. When the connecting member 21 is inserted into place, the first locking groove 23 corresponds to the through hole 14. At this time, the locking member 15 loses the force generated by the connecting member, and the elastic member 16 automatically recovers and provides a force for the locking member 15 to move along the through hole 14 toward the first locking groove 23. After the locking member 15 passes through the through hole 14, it is inserted into the first locking groove 23. In the natural state, under the action of the elastic member, the locking member remains plugged into the first locking groove, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the connecting member on the mounting seat, and the connection is stable.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking member 15 includes a first buckling portion 151 extending through the through hole 14 toward the mounting groove 12 and adapted to the first locking groove 23, a first connecting portion 152 rotatably connected to the mounting seat 11 through a rotating shaft, and a pressing portion 153 cooperating with the elastic member 16 to control the first buckling portion 151 to approach or move away from the first locking groove 23; the first connecting portion 152 is located between the first buckling portion 151 and the pressing portion 153; at least a portion of the pressing portion 153 protrudes from the outside of the mounting seat. Based on the lever principle, the user only needs to press the pressing portion 153 toward the mounting groove at the same time, the elastic member is in a non-free state, the first connecting portion 152 rotates in the first groove 13, and the first buckling portion 151 moves away from the mounting groove 12 along the through hole 14, thereby releasing the locking state of the connecting member 21, so that the connecting member can be separated from the mounting seat, and the unlocking operation is simple.

[0034] Furthermore, the elastic member 16 is located on the side of the pressing portion 153 facing the mounting groove 12; one end of the elastic member 16 is connected to the pressing portion 153, and the other end is connected to the inner bottom surface of the first groove 13. The structure is compact, and the elastic member 16 can be a spring in the prior art.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 2As shown, the connecting member 21 is provided with outwardly protruding clamping blocks 24 along its length on both sides of the opposite sides; the two first locking grooves 23 are respectively located on the two clamping blocks 24. The clamping blocks 24 are clamped with the mounting groove, which not only increases the contact area with the inner side wall of the mounting groove, but also has a guiding function when the clamping blocks 24 move in the mounting groove, and the connection is stable.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] This embodiment provides an electronic device protective case with a locking structure, and the same points as the first embodiment are not repeated here. Figure 5 As shown, the lock assembly includes two elastic clips 25 respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting member 21, and two second locking grooves 17 respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting seat 11 and plugged and locked with the corresponding elastic clips 25. During the process of inserting the connecting member 21 into the mounting groove, the free ends of the two elastic clips 25 are squeezed by the inner side wall of the mounting groove and then approach the connecting member 21, and the elastic clips are deformed and in a non-free state. When the connecting member 21 is inserted into place, the elastic clips lose the squeezing force generated by the inner wall of the mounting groove, and the elastic clips automatically recover and plug and fix with the second locking grooves 17 on the mounting seat 11, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the connecting member on the mounting seat, and the connection is stable.

[0038] Furthermore, the lock assembly also includes an elastic pressing piece 18 for releasing the locking state of the two elastic clips 25, and the elastic pressing piece 18 is movably arranged in the second locking groove 17; the elastic pressing piece 18 can adopt the elastic pressing key structure in the prior art, that is, it includes a pressing piece slidably connected to the mounting seat and a spring that provides elastic force to the pressing piece; in a natural state, at least a part of the two elastic pressing pieces 18 protrudes outside the mounting seat 11, and the elastic pressing piece 18 does not contact the elastic clip 25; the user only needs to press the elastic pressing piece 18 in the direction of the mounting groove at the same time, the spring is compressed, and the pressing piece moves in the second locking groove 17 toward the elastic clip 25 until the elastic clip 25 is pushed out of the second locking groove 17, so that the locking state of the connecting piece 21 can be released, so that the connecting piece can be separated from the mounting seat, and the unlocking operation is simple.

[0039] Furthermore, the elastic snap-fit ​​member 25 includes a second connecting portion 251 fixedly connected to the connecting member 12, an elastic arm 252 extending obliquely in a direction away from the connecting member 21 and in a direction toward the supporting member 22, and a second buckling portion 253 extending from the free end of the elastic arm 252 in a direction away from the connecting member 21; the gap between the elastic arm 252 and the connecting member 21 gradually increases from the second connecting portion 251 to the second buckling portion 253, so that when the subsequent connecting member is assembled in place, the second buckling portion 253 is automatically inserted into the second locking groove 17.

[0040] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all these improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the utility model.
