[0025] Moreover, the terms "up, down, front, back, left, right, upper end, lower end, longitudinal" and the like indicating directions are all based on the posture and position of the device or apparatus described in this solution during normal use.

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the following will be a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The utility model of the assembled lighter protective cover is a protective shell for protecting the lighter and preventing it from being scratched. The utility model takes the flip lighter as an example. An assembled lighter protective cover, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes at least two groups of longitudinally arranged protective sleeves 10, and all protective sleeves 10 are provided with protective grooves 11; all protective sleeves 10 cooperate with each other to enclose all protective grooves 11 to form a protective cavity adapted to the outer contour of the lighter 01; wherein, at least one group of protective sleeves 10 includes a front half shell 12 and a rear half shell 13 arranged oppositely; the front half shell 12 and the rear half shell 13 are detachably connected; the front half shell 12 and the rear half shell 13 enclose the protective groove 11.

[0028] The modular lighter protective cover has an ingenious structural design. It includes at least two sets of protective covers, at least one of which includes a front half shell and a rear half shell that are arranged opposite each other. The front half shell and the rear half shell are detachably connected. The protective cover is broken down into two halves, front and back, for assembly. When either half shell is damaged, it can be replaced with a new, intact half shell, without having to discard the entire protective cover, effectively controlling costs. In addition, users can choose halves of the same model but different colors, patterns, or designs to assemble into a protective cover according to their preferences, allowing them to try a variety of combinations. This modular lighter protective cover design not only improves user satisfaction, but also creates new markets and business opportunities for businesses.

[0029] Furthermore, the front half-shell 12 is connected to the rear half-shell 13 via a snap-fit ​​assembly. Alternatively, the front half-shell 12 can be connected to the rear half-shell 13 via a magnetic assembly; or the front half-shell can be connected to the rear half-shell 13 via both a snap-fit ​​assembly and a magnetic assembly. It is worth noting that the front half-shell 12 can also be connected to the rear half-shell via other conventional connection structures, such as snaps or threads, to facilitate assembly and disassembly.

[0030] In this embodiment, the front half shell 12 includes a first substrate 121, and a first side wall 122 extending from the three outer edges of the first substrate 121 toward the rear half shell 13; the first side wall 122 is U-shaped; the first substrate 121 and the first side wall 122 enclose a first semi-closed storage groove.

[0031] In this embodiment, the rear half shell 13 includes a second substrate 131, and a second side wall 132 extending from the three side outer edges of the second substrate 131 toward the front half shell 12 and corresponding to the first side wall 122; the second substrate 131 and the second side wall 132 enclose to form a second semi-enclosed storage groove; when the front half shell 12 and the rear half shell 13 are assembled in place; the first semi-enclosed storage groove and the second semi-enclosed storage groove are connected to form a protective groove 11.

[0032] Furthermore, one end face of the first side wall 122 and the second side wall 132 is fixedly provided with a plurality of snap-fit ​​positioning posts 123, and the other end face is provided with a plurality of snap-fitting grooves 133 which correspond one-to-one to the plurality of snap-fitting positioning posts 123 and are interference-fitted with them; the plurality of snap-fitting positioning posts 123 and the plurality of snap-fitting grooves 133 constitute a snap-fitting assembly; through the one-to-one snap-fitting connection between the plurality of snap-fitting positioning posts and the plurality of snap-fitting grooves, not only can the first side wall and the second side wall be positioned more accurately, but also the connection relationship between the two can be strengthened, and the structure is stable.

[0033] In order to make the connection between the front shell and the rear shell more stable, the magnetic assembly includes multiple first magnetic blocks 124 fixedly embedded in the end surface of the first side wall 122, and multiple second magnetic blocks 134 fixedly embedded in the end surface of the second side wall 132 and magnetically connected with the corresponding first magnetic blocks 124.

[0034] To further enhance the drop resistance of the protective cover, a plurality of protective strips 14 are provided on the outer surfaces of the first side wall 122 and the second side wall 132. Optionally, a plurality of protective strips are symmetrically provided at the top corners of the first side wall 122 and the second side wall 132.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, at least one group of protective sleeves 10 is further provided with ventilation holes 15 communicating with the protective cavity; this not only facilitates heat dissipation of the lighter, but also balances the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the protective sleeve, making the connection between the protective sleeve and the lighter body more snug.

[0036] Optionally, the protective sleeve 10 is made of a plastic material, preferably a PC hard plastic material, which has good drop resistance and thermal stability. The PC material is non-toxic, harmless to the human body, and can be recycled and reused, with good environmental performance.

[0037] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this utility model.
