[0058] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0059] The present application provides an electronic key protection shell 10. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 It is a schematic overall structure diagram of the electronic key protection shell provided in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2It is an exploded schematic view of the electronic key protective case provided in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 3 It is a schematic structural view of the first housing body provided in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic key protective case 10 includes a housing 1, a first buffer portion 2, and a second buffer portion 3.

[0060] The housing 1 is formed with a receiving cavity for placing the electronic key. In this way, the receiving cavity can provide physical protection for the electronic key to prevent wear during daily carrying or damage caused by accidental dropping. Placing the electronic key in the receiving cavity can reduce interference between the key signal and other electronic devices.

[0061] It should be noted that the shape of the receiving cavity is adapted to the electronic key. Since there are various shapes of electronic keys, specifically, the present application does not limit the specific shape of the receiving cavity.

[0062] The first buffer portion 2 is installed in the receiving cavity and is used to elastically abut against the electronic key. In this way, the first buffer portion 2 can absorb the impact force received by the electronic key in the housing 1, thereby reducing the damage suffered by the electronic key during movement or dropping. This buffering effect helps to extend the service life of the electronic key. The first buffer portion 2 can help fix the position of the electronic key so that it will not shake or move in the receiving cavity, which can reduce the noise generated by the shaking of the electronic key and improve the comfort of the user. The design of the first buffer portion 2 can reduce the physical wear of the electronic key in the housing 1 and help maintain the good working state of the electronic key. Since the first buffer portion 2 can absorb a part of the external force, even if the electronic key is slightly impacted or dropped, it does not need to be frequently repaired or replaced. This reduces the maintenance cost.

[0063] It should be noted that there are various ways to install the first buffer portion 2 in the receiving cavity. For example, in one embodiment, the first buffer portion 2 can be snap-fitted and fixed in the receiving cavity through a snap structure. In another embodiment, the first buffer portion 2 can be adhesively fixed in the receiving cavity through glue. In other embodiments, the first buffer portion 2 can also be fixed in the receiving cavity through a threaded structure. Specifically, the way to install the first buffer portion 2 in the receiving cavity can be selected according to needs, and the present application does not limit the way to install the first buffer portion 2 in the receiving cavity.

[0064] The second buffer part 3 is installed in the accommodation cavity and is used to be respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the electronic key with the first buffer part 2. The second buffer part 3 is used to elastically abut against the electronic key. In this way, the arrangements of the first buffer part 2 and the second buffer part 3 can provide all-round protection for the electronic key and reduce the impact force on the electronic key in different directions. By arranging the first buffer part 2 and the second buffer part 3 on both sides of the electronic key, the position of the electronic key can be fixed more effectively, the shaking of the electronic key in the housing 1 can be reduced, the noise generated by the shaking of the electronic key can be reduced, and the comfort of the user can be improved. The double-sided buffer design can better absorb vibrations and impacts from different directions and reduce the risk of damage to the electronic key. The double-sided buffer design can disperse the external force received by the electronic key, thereby significantly improving the durability of the electronic key. This helps to extend the service life of the electronic key and reduce the costs of maintenance and replacement.

[0065] It should be noted that there are various ways to install the second buffer part 3 in the accommodation cavity. For example, in one embodiment, the second buffer part 3 can be fixedly connected to the accommodation cavity by a snap structure. In another embodiment, the second buffer part 3 can be fixedly connected to the accommodation cavity by glue bonding. In other embodiments, the second buffer part 3 can also be fixed in the accommodation cavity by a threaded structure. Specifically, the way to install the second buffer part 3 in the accommodation cavity can be selected according to needs, and the application does not limit the way to install the second buffer part 3 in the accommodation cavity.

[0066] In the electronic key protection case 10 of the embodiment of the application, through the built-in first buffer part 2 and second buffer part 3, the electronic key is double-protected in the protection case. These two buffer parts can absorb the impact force or pressure from the outside and effectively prevent the electronic key from being damaged when carried, stored or accidentally dropped. The design that both the first buffer part 2 and the second buffer part 3 elastically abut against the electronic key ensures the stable position of the electronic key in the protection case, prevents unnecessary movement or collision during movement or shaking, and thus reduces the risk of damage caused by misoperation or external factors. During long-term use, the electronic key may be worn due to frequent operation. Placing the electronic key in the accommodation cavity reduces the wear of the electronic key, thereby extending the service life of the electronic key.

[0067] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 , Figure 5It is a schematic structural diagram of the second housing body provided in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, along the direction from the first buffer portion 2 to the second buffer portion 3, the first buffer portion 2 is slidably mounted in the accommodation cavity. In this way, the slidable mounting allows the first buffer portion 2 to automatically adjust its position according to the changes in the size or shape of the electronic key, ensuring the best protection of the electronic key within the housing 1. When subjected to an impact, the first buffer portion 2 can disperse the action of the force through sliding, reducing the direct impact on the electronic key. The design of the slidable mounting makes it easier to install and disassemble the first buffer portion 2, facilitating cleaning or replacement. The user can easily adjust or replace the first buffer portion 2 as needed to adapt to different electronic keys. This increases the versatility of the electronic key protective shell 10.

[0068] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram of the first buffer portion provided in the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the first buffer portion 2 includes a shock-absorbing block 21 and a buffer plate 22. The shock-absorbing block 21 is mounted in the accommodation cavity. The buffer plate 22 is disposed on the side of the shock-absorbing block 21 facing the second buffer portion 3 and is connected to the shock-absorbing block 21. The hardness of the buffer plate 22 is greater than that of the shock-absorbing block 21. Along the direction from the first buffer portion 2 to the second buffer portion 3, the buffer plate 22 is slidably connected to the housing. The buffer plate 22 is used to abut against the electronic key. In this way, when the electronic key is subjected to an impact, the buffer plate 22, as the outermost layer, directly contacts the electronic key and bears the impact force first. Due to the relatively high hardness of the buffer plate 22, it can better resist deformation. At the same time, since the buffer plate 22 is slidably connected to the housing, this design allows the buffer plate 22 to have a certain displacement space when subjected to an impact, thereby further dispersing and absorbing the impact energy and reducing the damage to the electronic key. In addition, the impact force is transmitted to the shock-absorbing block 21 through sliding. The shock-absorbing block 21 has a relatively low hardness, which means it is more easily deformed than the buffer plate 22. When the impact force is transmitted from the buffer plate 22 to the shock-absorbing block 21, the shock-absorbing block 21 will deform, thereby absorbing the impact energy. Through this design, the impact force is evenly transmitted from the buffer plate 22 to the shock-absorbing block 21, rather than concentrating on a certain point. This energy dispersion helps to reduce the movement of the electronic key within the housing 1, and thus reduces the stress on the internal components. After the impact, the shock-absorbing block 21 returns to its original shape due to its elasticity, which helps the electronic key to return to its original position. This design helps to maintain the safety, stability of the electronic key and reduce shaking. By combining the buffer plate 22 and the shock-absorbing block 21, the impact resistance of the electronic key protective shell 10 can be significantly improved. Even under a relatively severe impact, the electronic key can be effectively protected. By separating the functions of the buffer plate 22 and the shock-absorbing block 21, it is more convenient to replace or maintain these two components.

[0069] Continue to refer to Figure 2 ,Figure 5 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments, the electronic key protective case 10 further includes a guiding structure. The guiding structure includes a guiding groove 41 extending along the direction from the first buffer portion 2 to the second buffer portion 3 and a guiding protrusion 42 adapted to the guiding groove 41. One of the guiding groove 41 and the guiding protrusion 42 is provided on the buffer plate 22, and the other is provided on the housing 1. In this way, the design of the guiding groove 41 and the guiding protrusion 42 can ensure that the buffer plate 22 slides smoothly along a predetermined path in the accommodating cavity. This precise guiding helps to keep the position of the buffer plate 22 accurate, ensuring proper protection of the electronic key. The guiding structure can reduce the shaking of the buffer plate 22 during sliding and improve its stability. The combination of the guiding groove 41 and the guiding protrusion 42 can prevent the buffer plate 22 from deviating from the correct position when subjected to impact. This helps to ensure that the electronic key is always within the optimal protection range of the protective case. The design of the guiding structure makes the installation and disassembly of the buffer plate 22 simpler and faster. The user can easily install the buffer plate 22 in place without the need for complex tools or skills.

[0070] Referring to Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 4 is Figure 3 an enlarged schematic view of part A in Figure 6 is Figure 5 an enlarged schematic view of part B in. In one embodiment, the electronic key protective case 10 further includes a limiting component. The limiting component is disposed in the accommodating cavity and connected to the housing 1. The limiting component includes a plurality of limiting portions 51. At least part of the plurality of limiting portions 51 are on the opposite side plates of the housing 1. The plurality of limiting portions 51 are used to abut against the periphery of the electronic key. In this way, the plurality of limiting portions 51 can ensure precise positioning of the electronic key in the housing 1 and reduce its movement in the housing 1. This helps to ensure that the electronic key is always in the optimal protection position of the protective case. By abutting against the periphery of the electronic key with the plurality of limiting portions 51, the limiting component can reduce the shaking of the electronic key in the housing 1 and improve its stability. The setting of the plurality of limiting portions 51 can reduce the direct contact between the electronic key and the housing 1, and reduce the decline of the protection effect caused by wear of the housing 1 during long-term use. This helps to maintain the durability of the electronic key protective case 10. The design of the limiting component makes the installation and disassembly of the electronic key simpler and faster. The user can easily install the electronic key in place without the need for complex tools or skills.

[0071] It should be noted that the shape of the limiting portion 51 has various types. For example, in one embodiment, the limiting portion 51 can be a cuboid. In another embodiment, the limiting portion 51 can also be a cylinder. In other embodiments, the limiting portion 51 can also be a cube, etc. The shape of the limiting portion 51 can be set according to needs, and the present application does not limit this.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a first housing body 12 and a second housing body 13. The first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 jointly enclose to form a receiving cavity. The first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 are detachably connected, enabling the user to easily disassemble the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 and put the electronic key in or take it out. This design simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the electronic key without the need for complex tools or skills. By detachably connecting the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13, the user can conveniently check the status of the electronic key or replace damaged components, which helps to extend the service life of the electronic key protection housing 10. Since the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 are detachably connected, it is easier to clean the inside of the housing 1 and the surface of the electronic key. If one of the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 is damaged, the user can replace only the damaged part instead of the entire housing 1. This helps to reduce the maintenance cost.

[0073] Reference Figures 3 to 6 In some embodiments, the electronic key protection housing 10 further includes a plurality of positioning components. The plurality of positioning components are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the housing 1. Each positioning component includes a positioning portion 61 extending in the direction from the first buffer portion 2 to the second buffer portion 3 and a mating portion 62 adapted to the positioning portion 61. The positioning portion 61 is provided on the first housing body 12, and the mating portion 62 is provided on the second housing body 13. In this way, the mating installation of the positioning portion 61 and the corresponding mating portion 62 can ensure that the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 are precisely aligned when closed, which helps to form a complete receiving cavity and provides the best protection for the electronic key. The design of the positioning portion 61 and the mating portion 62 makes the installation and disassembly of the housing 1 simpler and faster. The cooperation of the positioning portion 61 and the mating portion 62 helps to improve the overall structural strength of the housing 1, thereby enhancing the impact resistance.

[0074] Continuing to refer to Figures 3 to 6, in some embodiments, the mating portion 62 includes a card slot 621 provided on the outer side wall of the second housing body 13. The card slot 621 penetrates through the end face of the side wall of the second housing body 13 adjacent to the first housing body 12. The positioning portion 61 includes a positioning piece 611 provided on the first housing body 12, and the positioning piece 611 is clamped in the corresponding card slot 621. In this way, the cooperation between the positioning piece 611 and the card slot 621 can ensure the precise alignment of the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 when they are closed. Through the cooperation between the positioning piece 611 and the card slot 621, the stability of the housing 1 can be improved. The design of the positioning piece 611 and the card slot 621 makes the installation and disassembly of the housing 1 simpler and quicker. The user can easily close the housing 1. The cooperation between the positioning piece 611 and the card slot 621 helps to improve the overall structural strength of the housing 1, thereby improving the impact resistance ability.

[0075] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, a threaded hole 622 is provided on the bottom wall of the card slot 621. The threaded hole 622 extends along the inside-outside direction. The positioning piece 611 is provided with a through hole 612 penetrating along the inside-outside direction. The electronic key protection shell 10 includes a bolt 7. The threaded end of the bolt 7 passes through the through hole 612 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 622. In this way, while achieving the installation through the cooperation between the positioning piece 611 and the card slot 621, the fastening effect on the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 can be achieved by threading the bolt 7 through the through hole 612 and connecting it to the threaded hole 622, realizing that the positioning component and the bolt 7 are arranged at the same place, making the structure of the protection shell of the electronic key compact. In addition, the design using the bolt 7 and the threaded hole 622 makes the installation and disassembly of the housing 1 simpler and quicker. The cooperation between the bolt 7 and the threaded hole 622 helps to improve the overall structural strength of the housing 1, thereby improving the impact resistance ability.

[0076] Referring to Figure 1 , in some embodiments, a sealing component is further included. The sealing component is installed between the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 to seal the gap between the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13. In this way, the sealing component can effectively prevent moisture and dust from entering the housing 1, protecting the electronic key from the influence of the external environment, which helps to maintain the working state of the electronic key and extend its service life. The sealing component can ensure that the gap between the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13 is completely sealed, improving the sealing performance of the housing 1, which helps to protect the electronic key from the influence of external factors such as moisture and dust. The sealing component helps to improve the overall structural strength of the housing 1, thereby improving the impact resistance ability.

[0077] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 8 , Figure 8Figure 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a hoop provided in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the sealing assembly includes a sealing ring 81 and a hoop 82. The first sealing end of the sealing ring 81 is elastically fitted over the first housing body 12, and the second sealing end of the sealing ring 81 is elastically fitted over the second housing body 13. The elastic design of the sealing ring 81 ensures that it fits tightly between the first and second housing bodies 12, 13, effectively sealing the gap between them. This sealing method prevents moisture, dust, and other foreign matter from entering the protective housing, protecting the electronic key within the accommodating cavity from damage. Due to the elastic properties of the sealing ring 81, it can adapt to a certain degree of deformation and vibration, maintaining a durable seal. Even after prolonged use or external impact, the sealing performance is not easily compromised. The elastic fit of the sealing ring 81 makes installation easier and faster. Users simply fit the two ends of the sealing ring 81 over the first and second housing bodies 12, 13, respectively, to complete the installation. This design reduces installation difficulty and improves installation efficiency. When cleaning or replacing the sealing assembly is necessary, users can easily remove the sealing ring 81 for necessary maintenance. This design facilitates daily maintenance and use. The sealing ring 81 not only seals the housing but also, through its elastic properties, strengthens the connection between the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13. This strengthening effect makes the overall structure of the protective housing more stable and durable, capable of withstanding greater external forces and impacts.

[0078] The hoop ring 82 is movably mounted on the outer side of the second housing body 13, extending from the first buffer portion 2 to the second buffer portion 3. The hoop ring 82 has a retractable position and a tightening position. In the retractable position, the hoop ring 82 is used to retract from the first housing body 12. In the tightening position, the hoop ring 82 is used to tighten and secure the sealing ring 81 between the first and second housing bodies 12, 13. Because the hoop ring 82 has both a retractable position and a tightening position, during installation, the hoop ring 82 can be first placed in the retractable position to easily align and initially secure the first and second housing bodies 12, 13. The hoop ring 82 can then be adjusted to the tightening position to tighten and secure the sealing ring 81. This design makes the installation process more flexible and convenient. When in the tightening position, the hoop ring 82 securely secures the sealing ring 81 between the first and second housing bodies 12, 13, preventing the sealing ring 81 from loosening or falling off due to external pressure or vibration, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the sealing assembly. The presence of the hoop 82 also strengthens the connection between the first shell body 12 and the second shell body 13, making the entire structure more durable. When the sealing assembly needs to be maintained or replaced, the hoop 82 can be easily removed from the shell body by simply adjusting the hoop 82 to the avoidance position, without the need for a complicated disassembly process.

[0079] Reference Figure 8, in some embodiments, along the direction from the first buffer portion 2 to the second buffer portion 3, the ferrule 82 has a first end 821 and a second end 822 which are oppositely arranged. The second end 822 faces away from the first housing body 12. Along the direction from the second end 822 to the first end 821, the inner diameter of the ferrule 82 is at least partially arranged in an increasing manner. Thus, this design enables the inner diameter of the ferrule 82 to gradually increase when sliding towards the first housing body 12, thereby reducing the frictional resistance with the first housing body 12. Therefore, the ferrule 82 can slide more smoothly from the avoidance position to the clamping position. Due to the increasing design of the inner diameter of the ferrule 82, when the ferrule 82 slides near the first housing body 12, its inner diameter has expanded to a degree sufficient to accommodate the first housing body 12. This enables the ferrule 82 to be more accurately positioned at the clamping position, ensuring that the sealing ring 81 is firmly fixed between the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13. The design of the increasing inner diameter simplifies the sliding operation of the ferrule 82. The user only needs to apply a moderate force to easily slide the ferrule 82 from the avoidance position to the clamping position. This design reduces the operation difficulty and improves the work efficiency.

[0080] Continue to refer to Figure 8 , in some embodiments, an installation cavity 823 is provided inside the ferrule 82. A through hole 824 is provided at the second end 822 of the ferrule 82. The through hole 824 is communicated with the installation cavity 823. The sealing assembly further includes a fixing rod 83. The fixing rod 83 is bent and includes a first rod segment 831 and a second rod segment 832 which extend in different directions and are connected to each other. The other end of the first rod segment 831 is located inside the installation cavity 823, and a stop platform 833 is convexly provided on the side wall of the free end of the first rod segment 831. Along the radial direction of the first rod segment 831, the size of the stop platform 833 is larger than the size of the through hole 824. Thus, it is ensured that the first rod segment 831 will not slide out randomly inside the installation cavity 823. The second rod segment 832 is located outside the installation cavity 823, and the free end of the second rod segment 832 is used for fixedly connecting with the second housing body 13. Thus, the ferrule 82 can slide relative to the first rod segment 831 of the fixing rod 83, allowing the user to dynamically adjust the switching of the ferrule 82 between the avoidance position and the clamping position according to actual needs. The structure is simple and easy to operate. In addition, when it is necessary to maintain or replace the sealing ring 81, the ferrule 82 can be easily slid to the avoidance position, providing sufficient space for the maintenance work and reducing the maintenance difficulty and cost. By sliding the ferrule 82 to the clamping position, it can be ensured that the sealing ring 81 is firmly clamped between the first housing body 12 and the second housing body 13, thereby achieving a good sealing effect. The design of the installation cavity 823 and the through hole 824 enables part of the fixing rod 83 to be compactly installed inside the ferrule 82 without occupying extra space.

[0081] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments, a boss 9 is further protruded on the outer sidewall of the first housing body 12. The boss 9 is disposed adjacent to the first sealing end portion. A keyhole 91 is penetrated through the boss 9 along the direction from the first buffer portion 2 to the second buffer portion 3. Thus, the provision of the boss 9 can prevent the sealing ring 81 from falling off from one side of the first housing body 12. In addition, the provision of the keyhole 91 enables a rope, a chain, a key ring, etc. to pass through the keyhole 91 and be connected to the electronic key protection case 10, so that the electronic key protection case 10 can be conveniently hung on a bag, a belt or other personal items. This not only reduces the risk of loss of the electronic key protection case 10, but also enables them to be quickly found and used when needed.

[0082] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in an embodiment, the housing 1 includes a first end plate 14 disposed opposite to the second buffer portion 3. The first end plate 14 is provided with a light-transmitting area for correspondingly arranging the keys of the electronic key. The second buffer portion 3 includes two buffer pads 31. The two buffer pads 31 are respectively disposed on both sides of the light-transmitting area. One side of each buffer pad 31 is connected to the housing 1, and the other side is used for elastically abutting against the other side of the electronic key. Thus, the provision of the light-transmitting area allows light to penetrate the housing 1 and directly irradiate on the keys of the electronic key. This not only makes the keys easier to be recognized and operated in a dark environment, but also improves the overall visual effect and aesthetic feeling. When in use, the user can more intuitively see the layout and state of the keys, reducing the possibility of misoperation. The second buffer portion 3 adopts the design of two buffer pads 31, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the light-transmitting area. Thus, it is ensured that the buffer pads 31 do not block the light-transmitting area, thereby ensuring the smooth propagation of light. In addition, the design that the two buffer pads 31 are respectively disposed on both sides of the light-transmitting area also makes the position of the electronic key in the housing 1 more stable. This stability helps to reduce the risk of damage to the electronic key caused by shaking during carrying or use.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first end plate 14 is provided with an opening 141. The electronic key protection case 10 further includes a light-transmitting film 101. The light-transmitting film 101 is hermetically covered over the opening 141. The light-transmitting film 101 forms a light-transmitting area. In this way, the light-transmitting film 101 allows light to penetrate and illuminate the keys of the electronic key, enabling clear identification and operation even in a low-light environment. The light-transmitting film 101 hermetically covers the opening 141, effectively preventing the intrusion of external substances such as moisture and dust. This is crucial for protecting the electronic components inside the electronic key from damage, ensuring the stability and reliability of the electronic key. By preventing the entry of moisture and dust, the risk of damage to the electronic key due to corrosion or short circuit is reduced, thereby extending its service life. The light-transmitting film 101, as a physical barrier, can to a certain extent prevent external objects from directly contacting the sensitive areas of the electronic key, improving the overall safety. The light-transmitting film 101 also has certain scratch-resistant properties, capable of protecting the keys or display area of the electronic key from scratches or abrasions.

[0084] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the light-transmitting area can also be cancelled, and corresponding silk-screen marks are provided on the outer surface of the housing 1 to guide the pressing position. In this way, without relying on the light-transmitting area to illuminate the keys or display area, designers can more freely select the material and color of the housing 1 without considering light transmittance. This increases the diversity and flexibility of the design, making the product more in line with the aesthetic needs of different users. The use of the light-transmitting film 10l or other light-transmitting materials may increase the manufacturing cost. After cancelling the light-transmitting area, the use of these materials can be omitted, thereby reducing the production cost. At the same time, the production cost of the silk-screen marks is relatively low, further reducing the overall cost. The light-transmitting film 101 or other light-transmitting materials may be worn or damaged during long-term use, affecting the light-transmitting effect. The silk-screen marks are directly printed on the surface of the housing 1, having high durability and stability, and are not easily worn or fallen off. The silk-screen marks can clearly indicate the position of the keys or operation areas, and can be accurately identified even without light irradiation. This improves the accuracy and convenience of user operation, especially when used in a low-light or nighttime environment.
