[0045] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "installed," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0046] See also Figure 1 The present invention provides an electronic device protective cover 1, which is mounted on the outer surface of the electronic device 2 and exposes the display screen of the electronic device 2, so as to protect the electronic device 2 and prevent it from being damaged during use. The electronic device 2 is not limited to Figure 1 The mobile phone shown can also be an electronic tablet computer. In particular, the electronic device protective cover 1 of the present invention is suitable for electronic devices with side panels having press and slide function control buttons, such as the new generation iPhone 16 mobile phone.
[0047] refer to Figure 2 The electronic device protective cover 1 includes a protective shell 3 and an external control button 4. The protective shell 3 includes a main body 5 and a side portion 6. The side portion 6 is bent and extended from the edge of the main body 5. The main body 5 and the side portion 6 enclose a mounting groove 7 for mounting the electronic device. The side portion 6 is provided with a button hole 61 opposite to the side control button 21 of the electronic device 2. The external control button 4 is installed in the button hole 61. Pressing the external control button 4 from the outside can indirectly trigger the original pressing function of the side control button 21 to start the camera shooting function. Sliding the external control button 4 from the outside can indirectly trigger the original sliding function of the side control button 21 to start the camera parameter selection function.
[0048] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The external control button 4 includes an outer frame 100, a control panel 200, and a tempered film 300. The outer frame 100 has a hollow hole 110 with two open ends. The control panel 200 is embedded in the hollow hole 110. The control panel 200 includes a front face 210 and a back face 220 that are oppositely arranged along the axial direction of the hollow hole 110. The control panel 200 is provided with a plurality of spaced and insulated contact groups (not shown). Each contact group includes a first contact located on the front face of the control panel 200 and a second contact located on the back face of the control panel 200. The first contact is electrically connected to the second contact. The tempered film 300 is attached to the front face 210 of the control panel 200 and is movably disposed within the hollow hole 110. When the tempered film 300 is pressed along the axial direction of the hollow hole 110 toward the control panel 200, the tempered film 300 and the control panel 200 can move synchronously relative to the outer frame 100 in the pressing direction. Among them, the outer wall of the outer frame 100 is provided with a buckle groove 101 for buckling onto the button hole 61 of the protective shell 3. The buckle groove 101 is arranged around the hollow hole 110. "Surrounding" can mean that the buckle groove 101 is an annular groove that is continuous from beginning to end in the circumferential direction of the hollow hole 110, or it can mean that it includes multiple sub-buckle grooves arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction around the hollow hole 110. It should be noted that the control board can be a PCB board, and the PCB board includes multiple insulating sub-boards. The multiple sub-boards can be cut from a whole circuit board. The front and back of each sub-board have contacts, namely the aforementioned first contact and second contact. The multiple sub-boards are bonded together in the same plane by adhesive, and the first contact and the second contact on the front and back of the same sub-board form a contact group. In other embodiments, an insulating plate can be arbitrarily selected, and the contact group can be formed by threading.
[0049] The external control button 4 of the embodiment of the present invention can be manufactured separately, and the separately manufactured external control button 4 can be assembled to the protective shell 3. Since the tempered film 300 and the control panel 200 can move synchronously relative to the outer frame 100 in the pressing direction, the user can execute the camera's photo-taking instruction when performing a pressing operation on the side where the tempered film 300 is located. Since the control panel 200 is provided with a plurality of spaced and insulated contact groups, when the user slides on the side where the tempered film 300 is located, the sliding operation instruction can be transmitted to the side control button 21 through these contact groups to execute the sliding operation selection instruction. Based on this, the electronic device protective cover 1 with the external control button 4 of the embodiment of the present invention can play a key protection role without sacrificing the original machine button function. Of course, when the external control button 4 of the present invention is pressed or slid, other functions of the mobile phone or other functions of the app in the mobile phone can also be realized through the side control button 21 of the electronic device 2, not limited to the mobile phone's photo-taking and photo-taking parameter selection functions. In addition, in the external control button 4, since the outer wall of the outer frame 100 is provided with a buckle groove 101 for buckling into the button hole 61 of the protective shell 3, the user saves the cost of using glue when assembling the protective cover 1 and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0050] In the first embodiment, referring to Figures 3 to 5 The outer frame 100 is made of soft rubber, and the inner wall of the outer frame 100 extends radially inward with an integrated elastic arm 120, and the outer wall of the control panel 200 is bonded to the end of the elastic arm 120. Based on this, when the outer surface of the tempered film 300 is pressed, the control panel 200 is moved in the pressing direction by relying on the bending deformation of the elastic arm 120. After the pressing action is released, the control panel 200 moves outward together with the tempered film 300 by relying on the rebound effect of the elastic arm to return to its original position. Furthermore, the edge of the tempered film 300 extends radially outward, and the edge portion of the tempered film 300 extending radially outward blocks the elastic arm 120, thereby enhancing the aesthetic texture of the side where the outer surface of the external control button 4 is located. The edge portion of the tempered film 300 extending radially outward is spaced from the elastic arm, and this spacing distance provides a stroke for the tempered film 300 to move in the pressing direction when pressure is applied.
[0051] In the second embodiment, referring to Figures 6 to 8 The outer frame 100 is a decorative part made of a hard material, such as metal, hard plastic, or a steel ring. The external control button 4 also includes a soft rubber ring 400, which is squeezed between the outer frame 100 and the control panel 200. The control panel 200 and the soft rubber ring 400 form an interference fit. When the tempered film 300 is pressed, the control panel 200 moves relative to the soft rubber ring 400 along the axial direction of the hollow hole 110. In this embodiment, when assembling the protective cover 1, the dispensing process step is omitted. With the help of the soft rubber ring 400, the control panel 200 can be directly embedded in the hollow hole 110 through an interference fit assembly relationship. Furthermore, the hollow hole 110 includes a first hole 111 and a second hole 112 that are axially interconnected. A step 113 is formed at the connection between the first hole 111 and the second hole 112. The radial dimension of the first hole 111 is larger than the radial dimension of the second hole 112. The soft rubber ring 400 is located in the second hole 112. The tempered film 300 is located in the first hole 111 and its edge extends radially outward. The edge of the tempered film 300 is opposite to the step 113. The step 113 is used as a stopper in the pressing direction. When the tempered film 300 is pressed, the step 113 can directly or indirectly abut against the tempered film 300 to limit the movement distance of the control panel 200 relative to the soft rubber ring 400 in the pressing direction. With such a configuration, during use, for example, when placing a mobile phone in the protective case 1, it can be prevented that the control panel 200 is pressed out of the hollow hole 110 due to user error, thereby affecting the user experience.
[0052] In the third embodiment, referring to Figures 9 to 11The outer frame 100 has a first stopper 140 extending radially inward, and the control board 200 has a second stopper 150 extending radially outward. The soft rubber ring 400 is axially restricted between the first stopper 140 and the second stopper 150 in the hollow hole 110. In this way, the soft rubber ring 400 cannot easily escape from the hollow hole 110, whether viewed from the front or back of the external control button 4.
[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the tempered film 300 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first stopper 140, and the tempered film 300 is movable through the hole formed by the first stopper 140. When the tempered film 300 is pressed, the tempered film 300 moves inside the first stopper 140. It should be understood that in other embodiments, for example, Figures 12 to 14 In the fourth embodiment shown, the outer diameter of the tempered film 300 can also be set to be larger than the inner diameter of the first stopper 140. The edge of the tempered film 300 is opposite to and spaced from the first stopper 140. When the tempered film 300 is pressed, the tempered film 300 approaches the first stopper 140 and overlaps the first stopper 140. In this way, during use, for example, when placing a mobile phone in the protective case 1, the control panel 200 can be prevented from being pushed out of the hollow hole 110 due to user error, thereby affecting the user experience.
[0054] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 11 In order to prevent the soft rubber ring 400 from moving when pressed, a slot 201 is provided on the outer wall of the control board 200. One side wall of the slot 201 is formed on the second stop block 150. The soft rubber ring 400 is abutted against the second stop block 150. Part of the structure of the soft rubber ring 400 is engaged in the slot 201, and the other part of the soft rubber ring 400 protrudes from the second stop block 150 and abuts against the inner wall of the outer frame 100.
[0055] In the fifth embodiment, referring to Figures 15 to 17The outer frame 100 is a decorative part made of a hard material, such as metal, hard plastic, or a steel ring. The external control button 4 also includes a fastening ring 500 and an adhesive 600 located within the hollow hole 110. The adhesive 600 includes a curved first ring body 610 and a second ring body 620. The fastening ring 500 is bonded to the outer frame 100 along the radial direction of the hollow hole 110 through the first ring body 610. The fastening ring 500 is also bonded to the outer frame 100 along the axial direction of the hollow hole 110 through the second ring body 620. The fastening ring is made of a hard material. The material of the fastening ring 500 can be the same as or different from that of the outer frame. The adhesive 600 is formed by a laminating process or by dispensing. The second ring body 620 extends to the inside of the hollow hole 110 to form an elastic arm 621. The outer wall of the control panel 200 is bonded to the end of the elastic arm 621. The elastic arm 621 of this embodiment has a more stable structure and is not easily separated during the pressing process. The elastic arm 621 is tightly combined with the frame 100 and the fastening ring 500. The frame 100 and the fastening ring 500 can also serve as decoration.
