[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, the popularity of electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers is constantly increasing. People often carry mobile phones in their daily lives. However, since electronic devices are inevitably bumped or dropped during use, and electronic devices are easily damaged by bumps and drops, in order to protect electronic devices, the prior art provides a protective case for protecting electronic devices. At the same time, in order to facilitate the operation of relevant functions of the mobile phone, buttons are generally set on the side of the mobile phone to control the mobile phone. For example, the power button can control the screen to turn off, turn on, unlock or turn on the phone, and the volume button can control the increase or decrease of the volume of the phone. Correspondingly, when the mobile phone is covered with a protective case, in order to ensure the normal use of the relevant buttons, buttons are generally set at the corresponding positions on the protective case to realize the control of the side buttons of the mobile phone. With the continuous development of technology, the side buttons of mobile phones have also been continuously upgraded from mechanical button structures to touch-type and inductive buttons. Since touch-type and inductive buttons require people's fingers to directly touch the buttons to operate, the existing protective case structure can no longer meet the upgraded button structure.

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device protective case 10, which may specifically include, for example: a back panel 100 and a side frame 200, wherein the side frame 200 is arranged on the back panel 100, and the back panel 100 and the side frame 200 form an electronic device accommodating cavity 11, which is used to accommodate electronic devices. A button structure 300 is provided on the back panel 100 or the side frame 200. In this embodiment, the button structure 300 may be, for example, provided on the back panel 100, or may be, for example, provided on the side frame 200, and may specifically be provided in, for example, an operating area on the electronic device. The operating area may be, for example, a user controlling the electronic device by operating the operating area, and the operating area may be, for example, a button, a touch screen, and the like. This embodiment takes the example of the button structure 300 being provided on the side frame 200 to illustrate the structure of the button structure 300.

[0036] Specifically, the button structure 300 may, for example, include an operating part 310 and a conductive component 320, the operating part 310 is connected to the conductive component 320, and the conductive component 320 is arranged on a side of the operating part 310 close to the electronic device accommodating cavity 11. When the electronic device protective shell 10 is put on the electronic device, the conductive component 320 is located between the operating part 310 and the operating area of the electronic device.

[0037] The electronic device protective case 10 provided in this embodiment is provided with a button structure 300 on the side frame 200, and the button structure 300 includes an operating part 310 and a conductive component 320. The conductive component 320 is provided on the side of the operating part 310 close to the electronic device accommodating cavity 11. When the electronic device protective case 10 is mounted on the electronic device, the conductive component 320 is located between the operating part 310 and the operating area of the electronic device. Therefore, when the user operates the operating area on the electronic device through the operating part 310, the user's finger and the operating area of the electronic device can be connected through the operating part 310 and the conductive component 320. The current on the human body can be transmitted to the conductive component 320, and then transmitted to the operating area, such as the touch button, to realize the control of the operating area, thereby solving the problem that the button structure on the existing protective case cannot adapt to the inductive button on the electronic device.

[0038] In this embodiment, the operating portion 310 may be made of an insulating material, for example. When the user touches the operating portion with a finger, the conductive component 320, the operating portion 310 and the user's finger together constitute a capacitor structure, wherein the conductive component 320 and the user's finger constitute two plates on both sides of the insulating medium. Therefore, when the user operates the operating area on the electronic device through the operating portion 310, the user's finger and the operating area of the electronic device can be connected through the operating portion 310 and the conductive component 320. The current on the human body can be transmitted to the conductive component 320, and then transmitted to the operating area, such as the touch button, to achieve control of the operating area.

[0039] Furthermore, the thickness of the operating portion 310 can range from, for example, greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.2 mm; preferably, the thickness of the operating portion 310 ranges from 0.1 to 0.7 mm. For example, the thickness of the operating portion 310 can be 0.1 mm, 0.3 mm, or 0.5 mm. By setting the thickness of the operating portion 310 to range from greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.2 mm, the user's finger can conduct the body's current to the conductive component 320 through the operating portion 310, thereby operating the operating area of the electronic device, avoiding the impact of the current conduction when the thickness of the operating portion 310 is large. In one embodiment of this embodiment, an operating guide can be provided on the outer surface of the operating portion 310 away from the electronic device accommodating cavity 11. The operating guide can be, for example, a groove structure or a raised structure, and can also be, for example, an outline, a silk screen pattern, etc. The provision of the operating guide can facilitate the user to accurately touch the position of the operating portion 310, thereby improving the accuracy of operation.

[0040] In one implementation of this embodiment, the edge of the operating portion 310 may be provided with a through hole, for example, which may penetrate the inner and outer surfaces of the operating portion 310. When a user's finger presses the operating portion 310, the through hole may contact the conductive component 320. In another implementation of this embodiment, through holes are provided along the length of opposite sides of the operating portion 310. The through holes may penetrate the inner and outer surfaces of the operating portion 310. When a user's finger presses the operating portion 310, the through hole may contact the conductive component 320.

[0041] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the operating portion 310 is provided on the side frame 200, and the operating portion 310 and the side frame 200 are an integrally formed structure. That is, the operating portion 310 is formed on the side frame 200. Further, see Figure 3 The inner wall of the side frame 200 near the electronic device accommodating cavity 11 is provided with a mounting groove 330 corresponding to the conductive component 320. That is, the mounting groove 330 is provided on the inner side of the side frame 200, and the conductive component 320 is disposed within the mounting groove 330. This arrangement reduces the overall thickness of the key structure 300 and the thickness of the operating portion 310, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device protective case 10.

[0042] See also Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8In another embodiment of the present embodiment, a mounting through hole 201 is provided on the side frame 200, and the button structure 300 further includes a button body 340, which is connected to the mounting through hole 201. The button body 340 includes an operating portion 310, that is, the operating portion 310 and the button body 340 can be, for example, an integrally formed structure, and the conductive component 320 is provided on the button body 340. In this embodiment, the button structure 300 is a separate structural member, and the button structure 300 can be, for example, installed on the mounting through hole 201 of the side frame 200. Furthermore, a mounting groove 330 is provided on the side of the button body 340 close to the electronic device accommodating cavity 11, and the conductive component 320 is provided in the mounting groove 330. Through such a setting, the total thickness of the button structure 300 is reduced, and the thickness of the operating portion 310 can also be reduced, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device protective case 10.

[0043] See also Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 The sidewall of the key body 340 may be provided with a latching slot 341, for example, which is latched onto the wall of the mounting through hole 201. Specifically, the latching slot 341 may be, for example, a latching slot structure arranged around the sidewall of the key body 340, or may be arranged on both sides of the sidewall of the key body 340, or may be a plurality of latching slot structures arranged at intervals around the sidewall of the key body 340. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to this.

[0044] See also Figure 5 and Figure 11 The conductive component 320 protrudes from the inner surface of the side frame 200, which is the surface of the side frame 200 near the electronic device accommodating cavity 11. The thickness of the portion of the conductive component 320 protruding from the inner surface of the side frame 200 ranges from 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm. That is, the distance between the surface of the conductive component 320 near the electronic device accommodating cavity 11 and the inner surface of the side frame 200 ranges from 0.05 mm to 0.3 mm. By protruding the conductive component 320, the contact between the conductive component 320 and the electronic device operating area can be enhanced, further improving operational accuracy.

[0045] In one embodiment of this embodiment, the conductive component 320 may be made of a conductive material. Figure 12The conductive component 320 includes a component body 321 and a plurality of conductors 322. The plurality of conductors 322 are embedded in the component body 321 at intervals, and the conductors 322 connect both sides of the component body 321. Specifically, the component body 321 is provided with a plurality of through holes 3211. The plurality of conductors 322 can be embedded in the plurality of through holes 3211 in a one-to-one correspondence. Alternatively, the inner walls of the through holes 3211 can be coated with a conductor, and the conductors connect both sides of the component body 321. The conductors can be, for example, a coating of a conductive material. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to this.
