It should be noted that while the description of these embodiments is intended to aid understanding of the present invention, they do not constitute limitations on the present invention. The specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are merely intended to illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in many alternative forms, and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0029] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a game console protective case is provided, wherein: Figures 1 to 6 One specific embodiment is shown.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 6As shown, the game console protective case includes a shell 1 and a limit member 2. The shell 1 is provided with a limit groove 10 for constraining the game console. The shell 1 is provided with a magnet for adsorbing the limit member 2. The limit member 2 is arranged on the back of the shell 1 and is magnetically attracted to the magnet. The limit member 2 is used to support the shell 1.

[0031] Through the above technical solution, the game console can be wrapped by the shell 1 to prevent it from falling and scratching, thereby providing certain protection and protection for the game console body. The magnet provided on the shell 1 can adsorb the limiter 2, thereby limiting the shell 1, making it convenient to support and use on the desktop. Based on the detachable design of the limiter 2, limiters 2 of different structures can be flexibly adapted to meet the use requirements of different scenarios, solving the problem of poor compatibility between the protective shell and other accessories in the prior art. The overall design of the protective shell is lightweight and easy to carry and move, thereby providing all-round protection and convenient use experience for the game console.

[0032] It should be noted that the game console protective case can perfectly adapt to the Nintendo game console. For example, when the user uses it, when the limiter 2 is configured as a desktop stand, the user can easily place the game console on the desktop and perform stable game operations; by replacing it with a handheld stand, the user can conveniently hold the game console and enjoy the fun of mobile games; the design of the rotatable stand allows the user to adjust the viewing angle of the game console as needed to obtain a better gaming experience, thereby meeting the usage needs of different scenarios.

[0033] In an embodiment provided in the present disclosure, the limit member 2 includes a connecting plate 21 and a support plate 22; the connecting plate 21 is magnetically attracted to the magnet, and the connecting plate 21 is provided with a mounting groove 23 that is compatible with the support plate 22; positioning holes are provided on the groove walls on both sides of the mounting groove 23, and the pin shaft on the support plate 22 is inserted into the positioning hole, so that the support plate 22 can rotate with the positioning hole as the rotation center; in the supported state, the support plate 22 has an angle relative to the connecting plate 21; in the non-supported state, the support plate 22 is embedded in the mounting groove 23.

[0034] The support plate 22 can rotate around the positioning hole through the cooperation of the pin and the positioning hole, thereby providing a flexible adjustment method. In the supported state, the support plate 22 forms an angle relative to the connecting plate 21. This angle can limit the movement range of the support plate 22 and play a role in limiting. In the non-supported state (when no support is required), the support plate 22 can be completely embedded in the mounting groove 23. At this time, the support plate 22 and the connecting plate 21 are on the same plane and will not protrude, which is convenient for playing with handheld devices (such as Nintendo Switch Nintendo game console). In this way, the support plate 22 has an adjustment function, and the different usage needs of users can be met by adjusting the support plate 22.

[0035] In one embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the size of the pin and the positioning hole is set to: provide mechanical resistance when the support plate 22 rotates, so that the user can control the resistance when the support plate 22 rotates during operation, ensuring that the support plate 22 can stably maintain the position when it is rotated to a specific position and will not move due to slight external forces, thereby improving the stability of the support plate 22 in the supported state and reducing the possibility of the support plate 22 position changing due to accidental collision or vibration. In addition, appropriate mechanical resistance can prevent the support plate 22 from rotating excessively, avoiding damage caused by excessive rotation or inappropriate support angles. When operating the support plate 22, the user can also judge whether the support plate 22 has been rotated to the extreme position by the mechanical resistance felt, thereby avoiding damage that may be caused by forced rotation.

[0036] Furthermore, the end of the support plate 22 is provided with a beveled surface 24, which effectively increases the contact area between the support plate 22 and a supporting surface such as a tabletop, thereby improving the fit. The design of the beveled surface 24 allows the support plate 22 to better distribute pressure when subjected to force, reducing the shaking caused by uneven contact surfaces, thereby enhancing the stability of the support effect. By optimizing the contact method between the support plate 22 and the supporting surface, the beveled surface 24 design effectively prevents the support plate 22 from sliding or falling off due to external forces during use, thereby improving its reliability.

[0037] In the present disclosure, the connecting plate 21 is annular or elliptical. This design makes installation and removal of the connecting plate 21 more convenient and allows the connecting plate 21 to rotate 360 ​​degrees. This allows for better adaptability to various usage scenarios, enhancing its versatility and flexibility. Furthermore, the connecting plate 21 has a certain aesthetic effect, providing users with a better visual experience.

[0038] In a specific embodiment, the housing 1 is injection-molded from a plastic material so that the magnet is embedded in the housing 1 , thereby enhancing the bonding strength between the magnet and the housing 1 and improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure.

[0039] In another specific embodiment, the magnet is connected to the housing 1 by heat-melting, so as to achieve a firm combination of the magnet and the housing 1, prevent the magnet from falling off or loosening, and ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

[0040] In another specific embodiment, the magnet is glued to the housing 1, providing a flexible connection method suitable for magnets and housings 1 of different shapes and sizes while ensuring the firmness and sealing of the connection.

[0041] In one embodiment, at least two groups of heat dissipation holes 11 are provided on the housing 1, and a boss 12 for snapping into the heat dissipation holes 11 of the device is provided on the inner side of one group of heat dissipation holes 11 to limit the movement of the housing 1 relative to the device. Through the heat dissipation holes 11, the heat generated inside the device can be effectively discharged to prevent the device from overheating, thereby protecting the device from damage and extending its service life. The snap-fitting action of the boss 12 and the heat dissipation holes 11 of the device limits the movement of the housing 1 relative to the device, especially left and right sliding, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the housing 1 and the device. This design prevents the housing 1 from easily moving or falling off due to external forces when the user is using the device, providing a better user experience.

[0042] In one embodiment, the shell 1 is provided with an avoidance hole 13 corresponding to the sound hole of the device, and the shell 1 in the area where the avoidance hole 13 is located is provided with a limit platform 14, which can further enhance the connection stability between the shell 1 and the device, especially in the sound hole area, preventing the shell 1 from being deformed or shifted due to external force, thereby protecting the normal operation of the sound hole of the device.

[0043] In the present disclosure, a plurality of pressing platforms 16 are provided on the shell 1, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the operating device buttons. The outer periphery of the pressing platform 16 is provided with hollow holes to increase the range of movement of the pressing platform 16. This design can increase the range of movement of the pressing platform 16, so that the user can touch the device buttons more directly and accurately through the raised part on the pressing platform 16, thereby achieving effective control of the device. The one-to-one correspondence between the pressing platform 16 and the button also reduces the possibility of the user pressing the button by mistake and improves the accuracy of the operation. At the same time, the design of the hollow hole also increases the range of movement of the pressing platform 16, so that when the user presses the button, even if the finger deviates slightly from the center position, the button can be effectively triggered through the hollow part of the edge of the pressing platform 16, which not only improves the convenience of operation, but also enhances the user experience. At the same time, the hollow hole also helps to reduce the weight of the shell 1, making the overall structure more lightweight.

[0044] In one embodiment provided herein, at least one weight-reducing groove 15 is provided on the back of the housing 1, which can reduce the weight of the entire housing 1 and also make the housing 1 more layered and three-dimensional. It should be noted that the weight-reducing groove 15 is a recessed groove formed by thinning the thickness of the housing 1, and is not a through-hole groove.

[0045] In another embodiment provided in the present disclosure, a limiting bar 17 is provided on the shell 1. Two limiting bars 17 are provided and are respectively arranged on both sides of the limiting groove 10 to constrain the device in the limiting groove 10. This can better fix the device and prevent it from shifting.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned optional embodiments. Anyone can develop various other product forms based on the inspiration of this invention. The aforementioned specific embodiments should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
