[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 , an electronic device protective case 10 provided by an embodiment of the present invention may specifically include, for example: a housing 100 and a reinforcing member 200. The housing 100 includes a back plate 110 and a side frame 120. The back plate 110 and the side frame 120 are connected to form an electronic device accommodation cavity 11. The electronic device accommodation cavity 11 is used to accommodate an electronic device, so that the electronic device protective case 10 can be sleeved on the electronic device to protect the electronic device. The back plate 110 and the side frame 120 may be integrally formed, for example, or may be connected together by injection molding, pasting, etc. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0027] Specifically, button through holes 121 may be provided on the side frame 120 corresponding to the device buttons, and the reinforcing member 200 is connected to the side wall 1210 of the button through hole 121. The reinforcing member 200 is used to strengthen the side wall 1210. In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the reinforcing member 200 may be provided on the side wall 1210, for example; in another implementation manner of this embodiment, the reinforcing member 200 may also be embedded in the side wall 1210, for example. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto. The electronic device protective case 10 provided by this embodiment can improve the strength of the side frame 120 corresponding to the button through hole 121, that is, the side wall 1210, by providing the reinforcing member 200 on the side wall 1210 of the button through hole 121, and can avoid the deformation of the side wall 1210 of the side frame 120 when the user operates the button, resulting in the partial detachment and warping of the mobile phone protective film from the mobile phone screen, so as to improve the user experience.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, the button through hole 121 may include, for example, opposite first side wall 1211 and second side wall 1212, and the first side wall 1211 is disposed away from the back plate 110. The reinforcing member 200 may be provided on the first side wall 1211, for example. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 200 may be a strip structure, for example. By providing the reinforcing member 200 on the first side wall 1211, the strength of the first side wall 1211 can be enhanced. When the user presses the button through hole, the reinforcing member 200 can enhance the strength of the first side wall 1211 and prevent the first side wall 1211 from deforming easily, thereby avoiding the partial detachment of the mobile phone protective film from the mobile phone screen caused by pressing.

[0029] Refer to Figure 3, in another embodiment of the present utility model, the reinforcing member 200 may be, for example, an annular structure, and the reinforcing member 200 is disposed around the side wall 1210 of the button through hole 121. By setting the reinforcing member 200 as an annular structure, the strength of the first side wall 1211 can be enhanced, and the manufacturing production efficiency can be improved, and the aesthetic degree can be enhanced. When the user presses the button through hole, the reinforcing member 200 can enhance the strength of the first side wall 1211, and the first side wall 1211 will not be easily deformed, so that the local detachment of the mobile phone protective film from the mobile phone screen caused by pressing can be avoided.

[0030] In an embodiment of this embodiment, the hardness of the reinforcing member 200 may be, for example, greater than the hardness of the side wall 1210. Further, the hardness of the reinforcing member 200 may be, for example, greater than the hardness of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer is also called thermoplastic polyurethane rubber, abbreviated as TPU. The material of the reinforcing member 200 is different from the material of the side 1210. The material of the side wall 1210 is thermoplastic polyurethane, and the material of the reinforcing member 200 may be, for example, polyurethane (PU). Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0031] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the dimension W1 of the reinforcing member 200 in the height direction of the housing 100 is greater than or equal to 0.3 mm. As Figure 3 shown, the height direction of the housing 100 is the direction of the short side of the side frame 120. By setting the dimension W1 of the reinforcing member 200, the strength of the reinforcing member 200 can be further enhanced, thereby enhancing the strength of the first side wall 1211. In an embodiment of this embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the thickness T of the reinforcing member 200 may be, for example, greater than or equal to the thickness of the connection portion 122 where the side frame 120 is connected to the reinforcing member 200, so as to further enhance the strength of the reinforcing member 200, thereby enhancing the strength of the first side wall 1211. In another embodiment of this embodiment, the thickness T of the reinforcing member 200 may also be, for example, less than or equal to the thickness of the connection portion 122 where the side frame 120 is connected to the reinforcing member 200, so as to enhance the aesthetic degree.

[0032] See again Figure 7 , the dimension W2 of the first side wall 1211 in the height direction of the housing 100 is less than or equal to 2 mm. When the dimension W2 of the first side wall 1211 is less than or equal to 2 mm, it is easily deformed due to pressing. Therefore, by providing the reinforcing member 200, the first side wall 1211 can be strengthened so that the first side wall 1211 will not be deformed due to pressing. When the user presses the button through hole, the reinforcing member 200 can enhance the strength of the first side wall 1211, and the first side wall 1211 will not be easily deformed, so that the local detachment of the mobile phone protective film from the mobile phone screen caused by pressing can be avoided.

[0033] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 200 can be connected to the side frame 120, for example, by injection molding connection, magnetic attraction connection, adhesive connection, or hot melt connection, and can also be connected, for example, by ultrasonic, hot melt, snap or Velcro, etc. Of course, this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0034] Further, a first connecting portion is provided on the side wall 1210 of the key through hole 121, and a second connecting portion is provided on the side of the reinforcing member 200 connected to the key through hole 121, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are connected to each other. By providing the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion, the connection stability can be improved.

[0035] See Figure 8 , for example, a step 1213 can be provided on the side wall 1210 of the key through hole 121, and the step 1213 can, for example, have a step surface 1214 facing the accommodation cavity 11 of the electronic device. The reinforcing member 200 can, for example, include a main body portion 210 and a flange portion 220 protruding from the main body portion 210. The reinforcing member 200 is connected and installed in the key through hole 121 through the flange portion 220 and the step surface 1214. Further, the thickness Y of the flange portion 220 is greater than the thickness X of the step 1213. By such a setting, the connection stability between the reinforcing member 200 and the key through hole 121 can be further enhanced, and by setting the thickness Y of the flange portion 220 to be greater than or equal to the thickness X of the step 1213, the strength of the first side wall 1211 can be further improved.

[0036] See Figure 9 , for example, a step 1213 can be provided on the side wall 1210 of the key through hole 121, and the step 1213 can, for example, have a step surface 1214 facing away from the accommodation cavity 11 of the electronic device. The reinforcing member 200 can, for example, include a main body portion 210 and a flange portion 220 protruding from the main body portion 210. The reinforcing member 200 is snap-connected and installed in the key through hole 121 through the flange portion 220 and the step surface 1214. Further, the thickness Y of the flange portion 220 is greater than the thickness X of the step 1213. By such a setting, the connection stability between the reinforcing member 200 and the key through hole 121 can be further enhanced, and by setting the thickness Y of the flange portion 220 to be greater than or equal to the thickness X of the step 1213, the strength of the first side wall 1211 can be further improved.

[0037] See Figure 10, two first connection portions 1211a and a first groove 1211b are provided on the side wall 1210 of the button through hole 121, and the first groove 1211b is located between the two first connection portions 1211a. In this embodiment, the thicknesses of the two first connection portions 1211a may be the same, for example, or different, for example. The reinforcing member 200 may include a main body portion 210 and a first protruding portion 201, the first protruding portion 201 is matched with the first groove 1211b, and the main body portion 210 is connected to the two first connection portions 1211a in a matching manner, and the first protruding portion 201 is received in the first groove 1211a. Further, the thickness of the first protruding portion 201 is greater than or equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the two first connection portions 1211a. Through such a setting, the connection stability between the reinforcing member 200 and the button through hole 121 can be further enhanced, and by making the thickness of the first protruding portion 201 greater than or equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the two first connection portions 1211a, the strength of the first side wall 1211 can be further improved.

[0038] See Figure 11 , two first connection portions 1211a and a second protruding portion 1211c are provided on the side wall 1210 of the button through hole 121, and the second protruding portion 1211c is located between the two first connection portions 1211a. In this embodiment, the thicknesses of the two first connection portions 1211a may be the same, for example, or different, for example. The reinforcing member 200 may include a main body portion 210 and a second groove 202, the second protruding portion 1211c is matched with the second groove 202, and the main body portion 210 is connected to the two first connection portions 1211a in a matching manner, and the second protruding portion 1211c is received in the second groove 202. Further, the thickness of the second protruding portion 1211c is less than or equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the two first connection portions 1211a. Through such a setting, the connection stability between the reinforcing member 200 and the button through hole 121 can be further enhanced, and by making the thickness of the second protruding portion 1211c less than or equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the two first connection portions 1211a, the strength of the first side wall 1211 can be further improved.
