[0027] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of the present application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0030] Electronic devices often require protective cases for protection. In the related art, protective cases designed to fit tightly with the electronic device effectively protect the electronic device in the event of a drop, making it difficult to separate the electronic device from the case. However, these cases are often difficult to remove from the case, and removing the electronic device often causes pain to the fingers. If the tight fit between the protective case and the electronic device is reduced, while the electronic device can be easily removed from the case, it will often cause the electronic device to separate from the case easily in the event of a drop, thus reducing the protective function of the case.

[0031] Based on the above situation, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a protective shell 10, see Figures 1 to 2 , the protective shell 10 includes an end plate 11, a side portion 12 and at least one supporting structure 13. The side portion 12 is connected to the edge of the end plate 11, and defines a storage space 10a for accommodating electronic equipment with the end plate 11. One end of the support structure 13 is connected to the side portion 12, and the other end extends along a first direction and away from the storage space 10a. The support structure 13 includes a first part 131 and a second part 132. The second part 132 is wrapped around the outer periphery of the first part 131, or the second part 132 is connected to the first part 131 along the thickness direction of the end plate 11, and the second part 132 is arranged on the side of the first part 131 away from the end plate 11. The second part 132 is a soft structure. Among them, the first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the end plate 11.

[0032] It should be noted that the electronic device protected by the protective case 10 in the embodiment of the present application can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, digital display, digital tablet, or other electronic product, etc., without limitation. When the electronic device is accommodated in the accommodation space 10a, the screen of the electronic device is exposed on the outer surface of the protective case 10, making it easier for the user to operate it.

[0033] It should be noted that the thickness direction of the end plate 11 can also be understood as the thickness direction of the protective shell 10 .

[0034] It is understandable that the protective shell 10 is generally designed to have a shape close to the outline of the electronic device. For example, the projection of the protective shell 10 perpendicular to the thickness direction is square.

[0035] The first direction is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the end plate 11 .

[0036] The first direction may be any direction perpendicular to the thickness direction. For example, the end plate 11 is substantially rectangular, and in this case, the first direction may be the length direction or the width direction of the end plate 11. It should be noted that the rectangular shape herein includes structures with right-angle transitions at corners and structures with rounded corners.

[0037] It should be noted that the dimensions of different components in the three directions in the same absolute coordinate system are different. Generally, the length, width and thickness of an object are determined according to the dimensions of the object extending in the three directions, with length > width > thickness.

[0038] The side surrounding portion 12 is connected to the edge of the end plate 11 and defines a receiving space 10a for accommodating electronic equipment with the end plate 11. The side surrounding portion 12 can be provided around the entire edge of the end plate 11, or the side surrounding portion 12 is provided around a portion of the edge of the end plate 11.

[0039] The side surrounding portion 12 is used to contact the side of the electronic device, and at least part of the side surrounding portion 12 can confine the electronic device within the accommodating space 10a. That is to say, the entire side surrounding portion 12 can be used to limit the electronic device, or part of the side surrounding portion 12 can be used to limit the electronic device, so that the electronic device and the protective shell 10 fit tightly.

[0040] The side enclosure 12 may confine the electronic device within the accommodating space 10a by means of structural snap-fitting, or by means of the side enclosure 12 abutting against the side of the electronic device, or by means of other forms or any combination of multiple forms, which are not limited here.

[0041] The "multiple" mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to a quantity of two or more.

[0042] The side surrounding portion 12 and the end plate 11 may be a separate structure or an integrated structure, which is not limited here.

[0043] It should be noted that the number of the supporting structures 13 of the protective shell 10 can be one or more, and there is no limitation here.

[0044] One end of the support structure 13 is connected to the side panel 12, and the other end extends in a first direction away from the storage space 10a. This means that the support structure 13 does not occupy space 10a. In a plane projection perpendicular to the thickness of the end plate 11, the support structure 13 falls outside the storage space 10a. Thus, the support structure 13 extends along the side panel 12 in a direction perpendicular to the thickness of the end plate 11. At least a portion of the support structure 13 protrudes from the edge of the end plate 11 in the first direction, providing a structure capable of transmitting force when removing the protective shell 10.

[0045] Specifically, the side of the support structure 13 away from the end plate 11 in the thickness direction can provide a force-bearing surface for the user. The user can contact the force-bearing surface with his fingers and apply a certain force to the support structure 13. The force is transmitted to the side surrounding portion 12 connected to it. The support structure 13 and at least part of the side surrounding portion 12 are deformed under the force, increasing the space of the accommodating space 10a and releasing the close contact between the electronic device and the side surrounding portion 12, thereby facilitating the removal of the electronic device from the protective shell 10, improving the situation where the protective shell 10 is difficult to remove from the electronic device due to the close fit between the electronic device and the protective shell 10.

[0046] That is to say, in this embodiment, on the one hand, the accommodating space 10a defined by the side surrounding portion 12 and the end plate 11 makes it difficult for the electronic device to fall out of the protective shell 10; on the other hand, by providing the support structure 13, the user's fingers can have a larger contact area with the support structure 13, which is convenient for applying force and can reduce the chance of hurting the user's fingers.

[0047] It should be noted that the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 of the support structure 13 may be an integrated structure or a split structure.

[0048] The second part 132 is wrapped around the periphery of the first part 131, which means that the second part 132 is wrapped around part of the periphery or the entire periphery of the first part 131, so that the second part 132, which is a soft structure, can not only be set on the side of the first part 131 away from the end plate 11, that is, the force-bearing surface, but also can be set on the side wall of the first part 131 away from the accommodating space 10a along the first direction. The user can contact the side wall with his fingers, thereby providing a certain friction force along the thickness direction, increasing the force on the support structure 13 to a certain extent, which is more conducive to the disassembly of the protective shell 10, and at the same time can also improve the external touch and appearance of the entire support structure 13.

[0049] The second part 132 is connected to the first part 131 along the thickness direction of the end plate 11. The second part 132 is arranged on the side of the first part 131 away from the end plate 11, so that the second part 132 with a soft structure can at least be arranged on the force-bearing surface. In this way, it can play a buffering role, so that the fingers acting on the second part 132 have a better touch. At the same time, it can also increase the friction resistance between the force-bearing surface and the fingers, making it easier for the fingers to drive the protective shell 10 to deform through the support structure 13, thereby improving the experience when removing the protective shell 10.

[0050] It should be noted that the soft structure can be deformed, and the soft structure can be made of soft materials.

[0051] The soft material may be soft glue, rubber, silicone, liquid silicone or a combination of any multiple materials thereof.

[0052] The protective case 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is connected to the edge of the end plate 11 through the side surrounding portion 12, so that the side surrounding portion 12 and the end plate 11 define a storage space 10a for accommodating the electronic device. In this way, the side surrounding portion 12 can contact the side of the electronic device, thereby confining the electronic device within the storage space 10a, so that the electronic device and the protective case 10 fit tightly. At the same time, one end of the support structure 13 is connected to the side surrounding portion 12, and the other end extends along the first direction and away from the storage space 10a. The support structure 13 does not occupy the position in the storage space 10a and can provide a force-bearing surface for the user. At least a soft structure is provided on the force-bearing surface, so that the user can more easily drive part of the side surrounding portion 12 and the end plate 11 to deform through the support structure 13, thereby increasing the storage space 10a, thereby releasing the close contact between the electronic device and the side surrounding portion 12, thereby facilitating the removal of the electronic device from the protective case 10, and improving the situation where the protective case 10 is difficult to remove from the electronic device due to the close fit between the electronic device and the protective case 10.

[0053] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 The first part 131 and the second part 132 are split structures.

[0054] By configuring the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 as a split structure, the first portion 131 and the second portion 132 can be made of different materials, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing.

[0055] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 The first portion 131, the side portion 12, and the end plate 11 are an integrated structure.

[0056] Here, by setting the first part 131, the side surrounding part 12, and the end plate 11 as an integrated structure, the integrity of the protective shell 10 is improved, and the first part 131 of the support structure 13 is connected to the side surrounding part 12 and the end plate 11 as a whole, thereby improving the structural strength and making it easier for the support structure 13 to drive the side surrounding part 12 and the end plate 11 to deform.

[0057] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 The first part 131 is a hard structure, and the second part 132 is bonded to the first part 131 .

[0058] It should be noted that a hard structure is a structure with a certain structural strength to provide structural support. Of course, a hard structure can also deform to a certain extent, but the deformation capacity is less than that of a soft structure. A hard structure can be made of hard materials.

[0059] The hard material may be hard plastic, glass, polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP) and / or acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer resin (ABS resin).

[0060] By configuring the first portion 131 as a rigid structure, the second portion 132, a flexible structure, can be attached to the first portion 131, providing a certain degree of strength and rigidity for the second portion 132. Furthermore, the rigid structure enables the support structure 13 to drive the deformation of the protective case 10. Furthermore, the bonding of the second portion 132 to the first portion 131 simplifies the installation of the second portion 132 and simplifies the support structure 13.

[0061] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 At least part of the side portion 12 that contacts the electronic device is a soft structure.

[0062] By configuring at least a portion of the side enclosure 12 that contacts the electronic device as a soft structure, the frictional resistance at the contact surface between the electronic device and the side enclosure 12 is increased, thereby preventing the electronic device from falling out of the protective case 10. Furthermore, the soft structure prevents the surface of the electronic device from being easily scratched, thereby enhancing its protection.

[0063] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 The end plate 11 is provided with an escape window 11a in an area near the side surrounding portion 12. The escape window 11a is used for allowing a camera of an electronic device to pass through. At least one supporting structure 13 is provided adjacent to the escape window 11a.

[0064] The avoidance window 11 a is used for allowing a camera of the electronic device to pass through. That is, the avoidance window 11 a penetrates the end plate 11 along the thickness direction and corresponds to the position of the camera of the electronic device.

[0065] Since the avoidance window 11a usually corresponds to the camera position of the electronic device, the avoidance window 11a is usually set in the area of ​​the end plate 11 close to the side surrounding portion 12. At the same time, since the avoidance window 11a is close to the side surrounding portion 12, the strength of the end plate 11 near the avoidance window 11a will be reduced, and the ability to resist deformation is relatively small. At this time, at least one supporting structure 13 is set adjacent to the avoidance window 11a, so that the user can more easily drive the end plate 11 and the side surrounding portion 12 to deform and detach from the electronic device through the support structure 13.

[0066] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 The end plate 11 and the side surrounding portion 12 are partially hollowed out to form a notch 10b. One side edge of the notch 10b is connected to an end of the support structure 13 away from the avoidance window 11a.

[0067] It should be noted that the notch 10b can reduce the local structural strength of the end plate 11 and the side surrounding portion 12, thereby making it easier for the notch 10b to deform.

[0068] By setting one side edge of the notch 10b at one end of the support structure 13 away from the avoidance window 11a, one end of the support structure 13 is adjacent to the avoidance window 11a, and the other end is adjacent to the notch 10b, the structural strength of both ends of the support structure 13 is reduced, so that the entire support structure 13 can be more easily deformed. In addition, the second part 132 of the support structure 13 for finger contact is a soft structure, and the friction between the support structure 13 and the finger is increased, so that when the finger applies force, it is easier to drive the end plate 11 and the side surrounding part 12 to deform.

[0069] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 The protective shell 10 includes a middle region along the second direction and edge regions at both ends of the middle region along the second direction. The avoidance window 11a and at least a portion of the support structure 13 are located within the edge region. The notch 10b is located within the middle region. The first and second directions are perpendicular to the thickness direction.

[0070] Exemplarily, the middle area is located in the middle of the protective shell 10 along the second direction and accounts for one fifth of the size of the protective shell 10 along the second direction. In the second direction, the edge areas at both ends account for two fifths of the size of the protective shell 10 along the second direction.

[0071] At least a portion of the avoidance window 11 a and the support structure 13 are located within the range of the edge area and are located in the same edge area.

[0072] Exemplarily, the first direction is the length direction, and the second direction is the width direction.

[0073] By positioning at least a portion of the escape window 11a and the support structure 13 within the edge region and the notch 10b within the middle region, the escape window 11a and the support structure 13 are both positioned at one end of the protective case 10 along the second direction, thereby limiting the size of the notch 10b and the support structure 13 in the second direction. This improves the situation where the end plate 11 and the electronic device do not fit tightly enough and provide insufficient protection due to the excessive size of the notch 10b and the support structure 13 in the second direction. Furthermore, the escape window 11a and the support structure 13 can be positioned away from the middle region, reducing the force exerted by the fingers on the end plate 11 and the side panel 12, making it easier for the user to remove the protective case 10.

[0074] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 There are two supporting structures 13. The two supporting structures 13 are arranged on opposite sides of the end plate 11 along the first direction.

[0075] By providing another supporting structure 13 on the other side of the avoidance window 11 a along the first direction, the supporting structure 13 on one side of the avoidance window 11 a can assist in disassembling the protective shell 10 , thereby improving the disassembly efficiency of the protective shell 10 .

[0076] For some examples, see Figures 1 to 2 The side enclosure 12 includes a first enclosure 121 and a second enclosure 122 connected to each other. The first enclosure 121 is provided at a corner of the end plate 11. The support structure 13 is connected to the second enclosure 122. In the thickness direction and away from the end plate 11, the first enclosure 121 is positioned higher than the second enclosure 122 and higher than the support structure 13.

[0077] Along the thickness direction and away from the end plate 11, the position of the first enclosure 121 is higher than that of the second enclosure 122. That is, the first enclosure 121 is the main structure for clamping the electronic equipment in the accommodating space 10a, and the second enclosure 122 can be used to protect the side walls of the electronic equipment.

[0078] Exemplarily, at least a portion of the first surrounding portion 121 that is in contact with the electronic device is a soft structure.

[0079] Exemplarily, the second surrounding portion 122 extends from the edge of the end plate 11 along the thickness direction toward the accommodating space 10 a , thereby being able to at least cover the corners between the contact plane between the electronic device and the end plate 11 and the side wall.

[0080] By providing the first surrounding portions 121 only at the four corners of the end plate 11 , the contact area between the first surrounding portions 121 and the electronic device is reduced as much as possible, thereby making it easier to remove the electronic device from the protective case 10 .

[0081] For some examples, see Figure 3 The protective shell 10 includes a magnetic member 14. The end plate 11 is provided with a mounting groove 11b. The magnetic member 14 is disposed in the mounting groove 11b.

[0082] By providing the magnetic member 14 in the mounting groove 11 b of the end plate 11 , the end plate 11 and the electronic device can be tightly attached to each other through a certain magnetic attraction force, thereby improving the protective effect of the protective case 10 on the electronic device.

[0083] For some examples, see Figure 3 The protective shell 10 further includes a cover 15 . The cover 15 is disposed in the receiving space 10 a and is used to support the electronic device. The cover 15 covers the magnetic member 14 .

[0084] It should be noted that the cover plate 15 may be made of a hard material, such as polycarbonate (PC).

[0085] Here, by covering the magnetic part 14 with the cover 15, the magnetic part 14 can be fixed so that the magnetic part 14 will not fall out of the installation groove 11b. At the same time, the cover 15 can be set in the accommodating space 10a and fit with the end plate 11, so as to be used to support the electronic device, so that the end cover and the cover 15 can fit tightly with the electronic device, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the protective shell 10 and the electronic device.

[0086] The second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a protection component 100, see Figures 1 to 4 The protective assembly 100 includes a keyboard 20, a connector 30, and a protective shell 10 provided in any embodiment of the present application. The protective shell 10 is connected to the keyboard 20 via the connector 30.

[0087] It should be noted that in some implementations, in addition to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection can also be achieved between the keyboard 20 and the protective case 10. For example, the protective case 10 can have a male connector corresponding to a female connector of an electronic device, thereby enabling the keyboard 20 to communicate with the electronic device inside the protective case 10 via a wired connection. For another example, the protective case 10 can be provided with a spring pin, one end of which can be connected to the electronic device inside the protective case 10 and the other end connected to the keyboard 20, thereby enabling the keyboard 20 to communicate with the electronic device inside the protective case 10.

[0088] In some embodiments, the keyboard 20 and the protective case 10 may only maintain a mechanical connection. In this case, the keyboard 20 and the electronic device in the protective case 10 can communicate wirelessly, such as Bluetooth, 2.4G, Star Flash, or other wireless connection methods.

[0089] Exemplarily, the protective component 100 is a tablet keyboard, and the accommodating space 10a in the protective shell 10 is used to fix the tablet computer. One side of the keyboard 20 in the tablet keyboard can be rotated to open or cover the side of the protective shell 10 to selectively expose the tablet computer in the protective shell 10 and operate the tablet computer in the protective shell 10 through the keyboard 20.

[0090] The protective assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application is connected to the side surrounding portion 12 by the edge of the end plate 11 of the protective shell 10 of the protective assembly 100, so that the side surrounding portion 12 and the end plate 11 define a storage space 10a for accommodating the electronic device. In this way, the side surrounding portion 12 can contact the side of the electronic device, thereby confining the electronic device within the storage space 10a, so that the electronic device and the protective shell 10 fit tightly. At the same time, one end of the support structure 13 is connected to the side surrounding portion 12, and the other end is connected along the first direction and away from the storage space 10a. The supporting structure 13 extends in the direction of the support structure 13, and does not occupy the position in the accommodating space 10a, and can provide a force-bearing surface for the user, and a soft structure is provided on at least the force-bearing surface, so that the user can more easily drive part of the side surrounding portion 12 and the end plate 11 to deform through the supporting structure 13, thereby increasing the accommodating space 10a, thereby releasing the close contact between the electronic device and the side surrounding portion 12, thereby facilitating the removal of the electronic device from the protective shell 10, and improving the situation where the protective shell 10 is difficult to remove from the electronic device due to the close fit between the electronic device and the protective shell 10.
