[0029] Various exemplary embodiments of the present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangements of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values ​​set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0030] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.

[0031] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0032] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0033] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0034] An auxiliary machine, an add-on device compatible with electronic terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, typically displays some of the terminal's images and information. This facilitates face-to-face communication while workers operate on the terminal in specific scenarios such as work, teaching, and construction projects. For example, in conferences and multilingual settings, where communication can be hindered by language differences, a translator can be integrated with the terminal as an auxiliary machine to address these issues.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present application, an auxiliary machine is provided, including: a main shell structure 1, a flip structure 2 and an auxiliary screen 3, the main shell structure 1 is used to be mounted and fixed on the electronic terminal, and at least cover a portion of the electronic terminal; the flip structure 2 is rotatably connected to the main shell structure 1, and can be flipped along a set direction relative to the main shell structure 1, and when the main shell structure 1 is fixed on the electronic terminal, the flip structure 2 is located on the side of the main shell structure 1 away from the electronic terminal; the auxiliary screen 3 is arranged on the flip structure 2, and can form a signal connection with the electronic terminal, and the auxiliary screen 3 is used to display information of the auxiliary machine or the electronic terminal.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the auxiliary machine provided can connect the auxiliary screen 3 and the electronic terminal signal to achieve the purpose of displaying electronic terminal information, which can be information displayed on the main screen of the electronic terminal, or electronic terminal information processed by software, such as displaying translation information of the main screen of the electronic terminal, etc., and the auxiliary machine can also independently display its own information, which provides convenience for communication in work, study, teaching and other scenarios.

[0037] Furthermore, the main shell structure 1 of the auxiliary machine can be mounted and fixed on the electronic terminal, covering at least part of the structure of the electronic terminal, so that the main shell structure 1 can be used as the shell of the electronic terminal or a part of the shell, so that the auxiliary machine can simultaneously realize the protection function and fixed connection function of the electronic terminal. In addition, the auxiliary machine is also provided with a flip structure 2 connected to the main shell structure 1, and the auxiliary screen 3 is provided on the flip structure 2, so that when the auxiliary machine is working, the auxiliary screen 3 can be flipped at multiple angles by flipping the flip structure 2, thereby improving the display effect of the auxiliary screen 3. Among them, when the auxiliary machine is fixed to the electronic terminal through the main shell structure 1, the flip structure 2 is located on the side of the main shell structure 1 away from the electronic terminal, so as to avoid interference between the flip structure 2 and the electronic terminal when flipping.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the main shell structure 1 can be fixed on the electronic terminal, that is, the edge of the main shell structure 1 can be clamped on the edge of the electronic terminal, and the actual shell design of the electronic terminal is the same as that of the main shell structure 1. Figures 1 to 2 , or it can be designed to cover part of the electronic terminal area in order to improve the adaptability of the main shell structure 1, refer to Figure 3 , so that in actual application, the auxiliary machine can directly connect and fix the electronic terminal through the socket between the main shell structure 1, on the one hand, and realize the protection function of the electronic terminal, avoiding the problem of difficulty in fixing the auxiliary machine or too many parts of the entire electronic assembly caused by the separate shell of the electronic terminal, and facilitating portability and use. Among them, a storage space 8 that can accommodate the electronic terminal can be reserved on the main shell structure 1 to form a better protection effect for the electronic terminal, such as Figures 2 to 3 shown.

[0039] In addition, in the above embodiment, the flip structure 2 can be hinged to a side of the main shell structure 1 by a rotating connection such as a hinge 6, allowing the flip structure 2 to flip around its side, facilitating display and serving as a stand for the electronic terminal. Furthermore, the flip structure 2 can also be flipped in two or more directions relative to the main shell structure 1 through structural deformation of the hinge 6. For example, by using a universal joint to connect the flip structure and the main shell structure 1, the auxiliary screen 3 can have the kinetic energy to flip in multiple directions relative to the main shell structure 1, further enhancing the display effect of the auxiliary screen 3.

[0040] The auxiliary device provided in this application has an auxiliary screen 3 that can assist in displaying information from the electronic terminal or the auxiliary device itself. The auxiliary device can be enclosed and mounted on the electronic terminal via a main housing structure 1. Furthermore, the flip structure 2 provided with the auxiliary screen 3 can flip relative to the main housing structure 1, thereby improving the portability, usability, and usability of the auxiliary device and the electronic terminal as a whole, and providing a better screen display effect. The auxiliary device can be an auxiliary device such as a translation machine.

[0041] Alternatively, as Figures 4 and 5 As shown, the main shell structure 1 is provided with a groove 5 , and the flip structure 2 can be located in the groove 5 .

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, a groove 5 is provided on the main shell structure 1, and the flip structure 2 is located in the groove 5. That is, when the auxiliary machine is working, it can be flipped to the outside of the groove 5 to achieve a display effect or be used as a bracket. When the auxiliary machine is in a non-working state, the flip structure 2 can be flipped into the groove 5, so that the outer surface of the flip structure 2 is flush with the outer surface of the fixed structure, thereby improving the appearance of the auxiliary machine and making the layout of the auxiliary machine more reasonable.

[0043] Alternatively, as Figures 4 and 5 As shown, the flip structure 2 is hinged to one side of the groove 5 via a hinge 6 , so that the flip structure 2 can flip relative to the main shell structure 1 into or out of the groove 5 .

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the flip structure 2 is hinged to one side of the groove 5 via a hinge 6, allowing the flip structure 2 to flip out of or into the groove 5, thereby improving the display effect of the auxiliary screen 3 and storing the flip structure 2, thereby improving the design rationality of the device. The hinge 6 can be replaced with other rotating connecting members, such as a universal joint.

[0045] Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a communication module, and the auxiliary screen 3 can form a signal connection with the electronic terminal through the communication module.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the communication module is used to connect the auxiliary screen 3 to the electronic terminal. When the auxiliary screen 3 establishes a signal connection with the electronic terminal through the communication module, information from the electronic terminal can be transmitted to the auxiliary screen 3, allowing the auxiliary screen 3 to display the image or information of the main screen, thereby realizing the auxiliary display function of the auxiliary machine.

[0047] In the above embodiment, the communication module can be integrated on the circuit board, and then connected with the auxiliary screen 3 through the connection harness. The communication module can be realized in the form of wired transmission, such as through a data line, or in the form of wireless transmission, such as through a Bluetooth, WIFI or NFC chip 4, etc. One or more transmission modes can be selected according to actual needs, and the application does not limit this.

[0048] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 The communication module includes an NFC chip 4, which is attached to the main shell structure 1. When the main shell structure 1 is fixed to the electronic terminal, the NFC chip 4 is located on the side of the main shell structure 1 away from the electronic terminal and corresponds to the set position of the electronic terminal, so that the NFC chip 4 can form a signal connection with the electronic terminal.

[0049] Specifically, NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short-range high-frequency wireless communication technology that allows non-contact point-to-point data transmission (within ten centimeters) and exchange of data between electronic devices. As a form of data transmission, NFC has the characteristics of short-range communication, ensuring the security and privacy of data transmission, and almost no power consumption in standby state, reducing the energy consumption of the auxiliary machine, and being simple and easy to use, which is very suitable for simple data transmission or energy transmission between the auxiliary machine and the electronic terminal.

[0050] It should be noted that the transmission distance based on the NFC module is usually within 10 centimeters. When the auxiliary machine uses the NFC chip 4, it needs to be kept close to the electronic terminal at all times, so it can be set on the main shell structure 1, so that the NFC chip 4 can always form an information connection with the electronic terminal through the main shell structure 1, avoiding problems such as poor signal transmission when the flip structure 2 is flipped. The set position refers to the position where the NFC chip 4 can always form a signal connection with the electronic terminal when the auxiliary is fixed to the electronic terminal, usually close to the device on the electronic terminal for connecting with the NFC chip 4.

[0051] Optionally, as shown in Figure 4 The NFC chip 4 is connected with the auxiliary screen 3 through a flexible circuit board 7.

[0052] Specifically, the flexible circuit board 7 (Flexible Printed Circuit, FPC for short) is a printed circuit board with high reliability and excellent flexibility, usually made of polyimide or polyester film as the substrate. It has the advantages of light weight, thin thickness, bendable and foldable, high wiring density, high reliability and good shock resistance.

[0053] The NFC chip 4 as a communication module needs to form an information connection with the electronic terminal, and usually needs to form a physical connection with the auxiliary screen 3, and the NFC chip 4 is connected with the auxiliary screen 3 through the flexible circuit board 7, which can not only achieve the purpose of connection, but also enable the NFC chip 4 to be arranged on the main shell structure 1, so that the auxiliary screen 3 can still maintain stable connection when it is flipped on the flip structure 2, thereby improving the reliability of the device.

[0054] Optionally, when the main shell structure 1 is fixed on the electronic terminal, the shape of the main shell structure 1 is consistent with the shape of the rear cover of the electronic terminal, so as to be used as a protective shell of the electronic terminal, that is, the main shell structure 1 entirely covers the rear cover of the electronic terminal, so as to improve the protection effect on the electronic terminal. Of course, when the rear cover of the electronic terminal is provided with a camera, the main shell structure 1 can expose the camera.

[0055] Optionally, it further comprises a magnetic attraction member arranged on the main shell structure 1 and capable of being attached to the electronic terminal.

[0056] Specifically, most of the electronic terminals in the prior art are equipped with wireless charging function, that is, most of the devices are usually provided with a magnet or other magnetic member. In the embodiment, the main shell structure 1 can be attached to the electronic terminal through the magnetic attraction member to realize the functions of positioning and fixing, and further improve the connection reliability of the auxiliary machine and the electronic terminal, thereby avoiding that the auxiliary machine is separated from the electronic terminal during work.

[0057] Optionally, it further comprises a control module, and the auxiliary screen 3 is connected with the control module.

[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment, the arrangement of the control module can realize the control of various functions of the entire auxiliary machine and the connection state with external devices, thereby improving the intelligence of the auxiliary machine. The connection of the auxiliary screen 3 with the control module can realize the control of the communication mode between the auxiliary screen 3 and the electronic terminal, or the control of the display type of the display information of the main screen of the electronic terminal.

[0059] Optionally, it further comprises an indicator connected with the control module and used for displaying the working state of the auxiliary machine.

[0060] Specifically, in actual application, the auxiliary machine can prompt the current working state of the auxiliary machine through the indicator, for example, it can indicate that the auxiliary machine is currently only in the state of displaying the main screen information of the electronic terminal by the auxiliary screen 3, or only in the shutdown mode, etc. The indicator can be realized by an indicator light or other forms of indicators, and the indicator can be usually arranged on the main shell structure 1 for easy observation.

[0061] According to a second aspect of the present application, an electronic device assembly is provided, comprising: an electronic terminal and the auxiliary machine of the first aspect, wherein the auxiliary machine is fixed on the electronic terminal via a main shell structure 1 .

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electronic device assembly includes an auxiliary device with a screen display function, which can be mounted on the electronic terminal via the main housing structure 1, thereby improving the convenience of use of the electronic terminal. The electronic terminal can be a tablet, mobile phone, computer, etc., and the auxiliary device can be a device such as a translation machine, etc., which is not limited by the present invention.

[0063] The above embodiments focus on the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.
