[0002] Nowadays, the functions of electronic devices are becoming increasingly powerful, and the scenarios where there is a demand for using electronic devices are gradually increasing, such as watching movies, videos, taking photos, recording videos, etc. To free the hands, manufacturers have launched electronic device support devices to support the electronic device on a desktop or the like. Taking a bracket protective case as an example, in the existing bracket protective case, the bracket is rotatably connected to the case body through a rotating structure, so that the bracket can rotate relative to the case body to switch between a supporting state and a storage state. To facilitate the storage of the bracket, a groove is usually formed on the surface of the protective case, so that the bracket can be stored flat on the surface of the protective case when it is stored. However, since the groove is generally processed by means of CNC cutting or injection molding, its size is generally larger than that of the bracket, that is, there will be a certain gap between the bracket and the side wall of the groove after the bracket is received in the groove, which causes the bracket to shake slightly left and right in the groove. To a certain extent, this will cause users to think that there are quality problems with the product, or that the product has a low level of precision control, reducing the public's recognition of the product, and thus affecting the sales of the product.

In particular, when describing "a certain element", the present application does not limit the number of such elements to one, and multiple elements may also be included.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 as shown. The present application provides an electronic device accessory 10, which can be applied to protective cases, brackets, mobile power supplies, card wallets, wireless chargers, etc. of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers. The present application takes a mobile phone protective case as an example for detailed description.

[0022] Specifically, the electronic device accessory 10 includes a housing 12, a bracket 14 and a storage and stabilization structure. The bracket 14 is rotatably connected to the housing 12. The housing 12 is provided with a storage part 16 for storing the bracket 14. The storage part 16 is, for example, a groove structure. When the bracket 14 is stored in the storage part 16, the storage and stabilization structure is used to limit the shaking of the bracket 14 in the storage part 16. By providing a storage and stabilization structure between the bracket 14 and the storage part 16, the present application can effectively prevent the bracket 14 from shaking in the storage part 16, improve the storage stability of the bracket 14, and further improve the user's recognition and usage experience of the product, and enhance the market competitiveness of the product.

[0023] Among them, the housing 12 is the outer shell of the mobile phone protective case. In other embodiments, the housing 12 can also be the outer shell, protective case or electronic device bracket of a mobile power supply, card wallet or wireless charger, etc.

[0024] In this embodiment, the housing 12 includes a back plate 18 and side frames 20 connected to the periphery of the back plate 18. The back plate 18 and the side frames 20 enclose a receiving space for accommodating the mobile phone. Both the bracket 14 and the storage part 16 are provided on the side of the back plate 18 facing away from the receiving space. The bracket 14 can rotate relative to the back plate 18 between a storage position and a support position. When the bracket 14 is in the storage position, the bracket 14 is received in the storage part 16. When the bracket 14 is in the support position, the bracket 14 disengages from the storage part 16 and forms a preset support angle with the back plate 18. At this time, the bracket 14 can support on a surface to support the housing 12 and the mobile phone accommodated in the receiving space upright.

[0025] Preferably, when the bracket 14 is received in the receiving portion 16 , the outer surface of the bracket 14 is flush with the outer surface of the back plate 18 , so that the bracket 14 can be stored flatly on the surface of the shell 12 , thereby increasing the aesthetics of the product.

[0026] In the illustrated embodiment, the bracket 14 is an annular structure as a whole, for example, the bracket 14 is a circular ring structure, and correspondingly, the storage portion 16 is a circular ring groove structure. In other embodiments, the bracket 14 can also be designed to be other shapes, such as a straight bar shape. The present application does not limit the specific shape of the bracket 14.

[0027] In order to facilitate the opening of the bracket 14, the bracket 14 is provided with a handle position 24, which is, for example, a notch with a step structure opened on the side of the bracket 14, and is used to open the bracket 14 by pressing the handle position 24, which brings convenience. In this embodiment, the handle position 24 is arranged on the radial outer side of the bracket 14. Preferably, the handle position 24 is located on the side of the bracket 14 opposite to its rotation connection part, so that the user can operate the bracket 14 to open at the angle with the least effort.

[0028] In the illustrated embodiment, the storage stabilization structure includes a first matching portion 26 and a second matching portion 28 of concave-convex limiting matching, wherein the first matching portion 26 is disposed on the bracket 14, and the first matching portion 26 can be disposed close to the buckle position 24, and the second matching portion 28 is disposed on the storage portion 16. The first matching portion 26 is one of the limiting convex portion and the limiting concave portion, and the second matching portion 28 is the other of the limiting convex portion and the limiting concave portion. In this embodiment, the first matching portion 26 is a limiting convex portion, that is, a convex block, and the second matching portion 28 is a limiting concave portion, that is, a groove. When the bracket 14 is rotated to the storage position, the limiting convex portion is snapped into the limiting concave portion to limit the bracket 14, which can prevent the bracket 14 from shaking.

[0029] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion is provided on the circumferential side wall of the first matching portion 26 and / or the second matching portion 28, and when the first matching portion 26 and the second matching portion 28 are in limiting matching, the limiting protrusion is used to prevent the first matching portion 26 from being separated from the second matching portion 28. The limiting protrusion is, for example, a hook-shaped structure or a hemispherical structure, and when the first matching portion 26 is inserted into the second matching portion 28, the limiting protrusion can play a role of squeezing and limiting, further limiting the swinging amplitude of the bracket 14, and allowing the raised bracket 14 to be closed by the limiting protrusion, and at the same time, the bracket 14 can be positioned.

[0030] In such Figures 3 - 5In the illustrated embodiment, the first engaging portion 26 is disposed on the side of the bracket 14 facing the housing 12, and the second engaging portion 28 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving portion 16. The position of the first engaging portion 26 corresponds to the position of the handle portion 24. Both the first engaging portion 26 and the handle portion 24 are located on the side of the bracket 14 opposite to the rotational connection portion of the bracket 14, and the handle portion 24 is located radially outside the bracket 14, and the first engaging portion 26 is disposed near the radially inner side of the bracket 14.

[0031] In the embodiment as Figures 1 - 2 illustrated, the first engaging portion 26 is disposed on the circumferential side wall of the bracket 14, and the second engaging portion 28 is disposed on the side wall of the receiving portion 16. The first engaging portion 26 may be disposed on the radially outer side wall of the bracket 14 or on the radially inner side wall of the bracket 14. In this embodiment, the first engaging portion 26 is disposed on the radially inner side wall of the bracket 14. For example, the first engaging portion 26 extends from the radially inner side wall of the bracket 14 in the radially inward direction, and the second engaging portion 28 is correspondingly disposed on the radially inner side wall of the receiving portion 16. Preferably, one of the handle portion 24 and the first engaging portion 26 is disposed on the outer circumferential side wall of the bracket 14 and the other is disposed on the inner circumferential side wall of the bracket 14, and the positions of the handle portion 24 and the first engaging portion 26 correspond to each other. In this embodiment, the handle portion 24 is disposed on the radially outer side wall of the bracket 14, and the first engaging portion 26 is disposed on the radially inner side wall of the bracket 14.

[0032] Optionally, the handle portion 24 and the bracket 14 may be of an integrally formed structure or may be detachably connected, and the first engaging portion 26 may be of an integrally formed structure with the handle portion 24 or the bracket 14. The handle portion 24, the first engaging portion 26, and the rotational connection portion of the bracket 14 are all located on the same straight line in the length direction of the back plate 18.

[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, as Figure 5 illustrated, the bracket 14 is rotatably connected to the back plate 18 through a rotating mechanism 30. An installation position 22 corresponding to the rotational connection portion of the bracket 14 is provided on the back plate 18. The installation position 22 is, for example, a circular hole structure penetrating the thickness direction of the back plate 18. The rotating mechanism 30 is installed in the installation position 22, and the bracket 14 is connected to the rotating mechanism 30 and is rotatably connected to the back plate 18 through the rotating mechanism 30.

[0034] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 30 is circular as a whole and includes a rotating connecting member 32, a rotating shaft 34, a rotating seat 36, a fixing member 38, a damping member 40, a rotation limiting member 42, an elastic member 44, and a covering member 46. Among them, the rotating connecting member 32 includes a connecting portion 48 and a winding portion 50 connected to one end of the connecting portion 48. The winding portion 50 is wound to form a shaft hole 52, and the rotating shaft 34 is rotatably inserted into the shaft hole 52. The connecting portion 48 is fixedly connected to the inner wall surface of the end of the bracket 14. For example, the connecting portion 48 is riveted and fixed to the bracket 14. A cover plate 54 can be used to cover the outside of the connecting portion 48 to block the connecting part and increase the aesthetics of the product.

[0035] A protrusion 56 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the installation position 22. The rotating seat 36 is rotatably installed in the installation position 22, and the rotating seat 36 is located on the side of the protrusion 56 away from the accommodation space. The fixing member 38 is located on the side of the protrusion 56 close to the accommodation space. The rotating seat 36 is fixedly connected to the fixing member 38. For example, the two are riveted and fixed, so as to limit the rotating seat 36 in the axial direction of the installation position 22, so that the rotating seat 36 can only rotate relative to the back plate 18 and cannot break out of the installation position 22. The damping member 40 is annular and is located between the rotating seat 36 and the fixing member 38. For example, the damping member 40 is sleeved and fixed outside the protrusion 56, so that both the rotating seat 36 and the fixing member 38 can contact the damping member 40, increasing the rotation resistance of the rotating seat 36, and at the same time playing a protective role and reducing the wear of the rotating seat 36, the fixing member 38 and the protrusion 56. The rotating seat 36 is provided with a pivot position 58, the winding portion 50 is arranged at the pivot position 58, and fixing holes 60 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls of the pivot position 58. The two ends of the rotating shaft 34 are respectively fixedly inserted into the corresponding fixing holes 60.

[0036] A plurality of grooves are circumferentially spaced along the inner wall of the protrusion 56. The rotation limiting member 42 is integrally U-shaped. The two ends of the rotation limiting member 42 respectively extend outward to form limiting lugs. And the rotation limiting member 42 is arranged along the radial direction of the installation position 22. The U-shaped bottom of the rotation limiting member 42 is arranged outward and is formed with a buckling portion that is buckled and matched with the groove. One side of the rotating seat 36 facing the accommodating space is provided with a moving groove adapted to the rotation limiting member 42. The rotation limiting member 42 is arranged in the moving groove and can perform piston-like movement in the radial direction. The limiting lugs are used to prevent the rotation limiting member 42 from disengaging from the moving groove. The elastic member 44 is located in the U-shaped space of the rotation limiting member 42. One end of the elastic member 44 abuts against the U-shaped bottom wall of the rotation limiting member 42, and the other end abuts against the groove wall of the moving groove. And the elastic member 44 applies an elastic biasing force to the rotation limiting member 42 to make it move radially outward. During the rotation of the rotating seat 36, when the buckling portion corresponds to the groove position, the buckling portion snaps into the groove under the elastic biasing force of the elastic member 44, increasing the rotation resistance of the rotating seat 36 and making it stably stay at this position. The covering member 46 is covered outside the fixing member 38, which can play a role in shielding and beautifying. Preferably, the outer surface of the covering member 46 is flush with the inner surface of the back plate 18, making the wall surface of the accommodating space flat. Such a setting can enable the bracket 14 to rotate at any angle and stay stably, increasing the applicable range and support stability of the bracket 14, and meeting the user's need for multi-angle support of the mobile phone.

[0037] In summary, the present application provides an electronic device accessory, including a housing, a bracket and a storage and stabilization structure. The bracket is rotatably connected to the housing. The housing is provided with a storage portion for storing the bracket. When the bracket is stored in the storage portion, the storage and stabilization structure is used to limit the shaking of the bracket in the storage portion. By providing a storage and stabilization structure between the bracket and the housing in the present application, the shaking of the bracket in the storage portion can be effectively prevented, the storage stability of the bracket can be improved, and thus the user's recognition and usage experience of the product can be improved, and the market competitiveness of the product can be enhanced.
