[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a protective case assembly. The protective case assembly includes a protective case 20 and a bracket 10.

[0036] Please continue reading. Figures 1 to 4 The protective case 20 includes a back panel 21, which is used to house electronic devices. In other words, the protective case 20 is used to house electronic devices.

[0037] It is understood that the electronic device can be a tablet, laptop, mobile phone, etc. This application will use a tablet as an example for illustration.

[0038] Please refer to this simultaneously. Figure 5 and Figure 9 The bracket 10 includes a base 11 and a folding part 12. The base 11 is rotatably disposed on the back side of the back plate 21. One end of the folding part 12 is rotatably connected to the base 11 so that the folding part 12 can be flipped about the rotation axis defined by it and the base 11. The end of the folding part 12 away from the base 11 has a placement part 121 for placing a mobile terminal 30. The bracket 10 includes an extended state.

[0039] In the extended state, the folded portion 12 is stacked on the surface of the base 11 along the thickness direction of the back plate 21, so that the placement part 121 extends from the periphery of the back plate 21. The base 11 is used to drive the folded portion 12 to rotate, so as to adjust the position of the placement part 121.

[0040] In this embodiment, the folding part 12 is flipped to a position overlapping the surface of the base 11, allowing the placement part 121 to extend from the periphery of the back plate 21. Furthermore, the base 11 is rotatable on the back side of the back plate 21. Rotation of the base 11 causes the folding part 12 to rotate, allowing the placement part 121 to rotate along the periphery of the back plate 21, facilitating adjustment of the position of the placement part 121 and thus facilitating adjustment of the placement position of the mobile terminal 30.

[0041] It should be noted that the base 11 is rotatably disposed on the back side of the back plate 21, which means that the base 11 can rotate along the circumference of the base 11.

[0042] It is understood that the mobile terminal 30 can be a mobile phone or a smartwatch. This application embodiment will use a mobile phone as the mobile terminal 30 for explanation.

[0043] The protective case assembly provided in this application embodiment can support both a tablet and a mobile phone simultaneously. The placement part 121 extends outward from the periphery of the back plate 21 to place the mobile phone, allowing the user to conveniently browse the content on the mobile phone while using the tablet, which helps improve the user's work efficiency.

[0044] Furthermore, the base 11 drives the folding part 12 to rotate, allowing the placement part 121 to rotate along the periphery of the back panel 21. By adjusting the position of the placement part 121, the specific position of the phone on the periphery of the back panel 21 can be adjusted, thus allowing the phone to be placed according to the user's preference and improving the user's comfort.

[0045] In some embodiments, in the extended state, the folded portion 12 magnetically engages with the base 11. That is, when the folded portion 12 is flipped to a position overlapping the surface of the base 11, the magnetic engagement secures the folded portion 12 to the base 11. The magnetic engagement facilitates the base 11 in providing stable support for the folded portion 12, and also facilitates the separation of the folded portion 12 from the base 11.

[0046] It is understandable that the folding part 12 and the base 11 are magnetically attached. This can be because both the base 11 and the folding part 12 are provided with magnetic components, or either the base 11 or the folding part 12 is provided with a magnetic component.

[0047] The magnetic component can be a magnet or other magnetic element, and there is no limitation on it.

[0048] In some embodiments, the rotational travel of the base 11 is not less than 90 degrees. By limiting the rotational travel of the base 11 to not less than 90 degrees, the placement portion 121 can rotate at least 90 degrees circumferentially.

[0049] For example, the extended state includes at least a first extended state (see [link to documentation]). Figure 1 and Figure 3) and the second extended state (see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the first extended state, the placement part 121 extends from the back plate 21 on one side in the first direction, and in the second extended state, the placement part 121 extends from the back plate 21 on one side in the second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular.

[0050] In this embodiment, the placement part 121 can extend from at least one side of the back panel 21 in the first direction or the second direction. That is, the mobile phone can extend from one of the two vertical sides of the back panel 21 and can be placed on either side of the two vertical sides of the back panel 21. The user can choose to place it on the side along the first direction or the side along the second direction according to their own needs.

[0051] It is understood that the first direction and the second direction do not refer to any specific direction. The perpendicularity of the first direction and the second direction means that the backplate 21 is perpendicular to one side of the backplate 21 in the first direction and to one side of the backplate 21 in the second direction. Furthermore, this perpendicularity allows for a certain degree of installation error. For example, the first direction is... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The direction shown in d1 is the second direction. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The direction indicated by d2.

[0052] It is understood that the extended state of the bracket 10 may also include other extended states, that is, the placement part 121 may also extend from other directions that intersect the first direction and the second direction simultaneously but are not perpendicular.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 7 The protective shell 20 includes a first magnetic block 23, which is disposed on the back side of the back plate 21 and spaced apart from the base 11 along a first direction. In the first extended state, the first magnetic block 23 is magnetically engaged with the folding part 12; and / or, the protective shell 20 includes a second magnetic block 24, which is disposed on the back side of the back plate 21 and spaced apart from the base 11 along a second direction. In the second extended state, the second magnetic block 24 is magnetically engaged with the folding part 12.

[0054] In this embodiment, in the first extended state, the first magnetic block 23 magnetically engages with the folded portion 12, providing support and fixation to the folded portion 12, thus increasing the stability of the folded portion 12 extending along the first direction. In the second extended state, the second magnetic block 24 magnetically engages with the folded portion 12, providing support and fixation to the folded portion 12, thus increasing the stability of the folded portion 12 extending along the second direction.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The back plate 21 has a receiving groove 211, in which the base 11 is received and can rotate. The receiving groove 211 provides a relatively stable rotational support for the base 11, which helps to reduce the wobbling of the base 11 during rotation. In addition, the receiving groove 211 can also limit the base 11, which can reduce the offset of the base 11 in the direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the base 11 during rotation.

[0056] For example, please refer to Figure 6 The base 11 is circular, and a first tooth 13 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the base 11. (See also...) Figure 8 The protective shell 20 includes a second tooth 25 disposed in the receiving groove 211. At least one of the first tooth 13 and the second tooth 25 is multiple. The first tooth 13 and the second tooth 25 cooperate to hold the base 11 in the current rotation position.

[0057] In this embodiment, the second tooth 25 can limit the first tooth 13 to a certain extent, so that the user needs to forcefully rotate the base 11 to achieve rotation during the rotation process. This setting helps to reduce the probability of the base 11 rotating randomly within the receiving groove 211, that is, it can improve the stability of the mobile phone placed on the placement part 121. That is, the placement part 121 can extend from any position on the periphery of the back plate 21, and the first tooth 13 and the second tooth 25 can cooperate to keep the base 11 in the current rotation position, that is, the placement part 121 can remain in the current extended state.

[0058] It is understood that in this embodiment, at least one of the first tooth 13 and the second tooth 25 is elastic. Thus, during the rotation of the first tooth 13, the second tooth 25 can limit the rotation of the first tooth 13 to a certain extent, but will not completely prevent the first tooth 13 from rotating.

[0059] The statement that "it will not completely prevent the first tooth 13 from rotating" means that the user can rotate the base 11 by force, and the rotation of the base 11 will drive the first tooth 13 to rotate.

[0060] It is understandable that the number of first teeth 13 can be one, and the number of second teeth 25 can be multiple; the number of first teeth 13 can be multiple, and the number of second teeth 25 can be multiple; or the number of first teeth 13 and the number of second teeth 25 can both be multiple.

[0061] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The receiving groove 211 has a groove 2111 formed on its sidewall. The second tooth 25 is disposed in the groove 2111, and the first tooth 13 extends into the groove 2111 and engages with the second tooth 25. At this time, the groove 2111 provides rotation space for the first tooth 13. The two first sidewalls of the groove 2111 along the circumference of the base 11 can limit the first tooth 13. When the first tooth 13 rotates to abut against the two first sidewalls of the groove 2111 along the circumference of the base 11, the two first sidewalls of the groove 2111 along the circumference of the base 11 can completely prevent the first tooth 13 from rotating.

[0062] It is understandable that the circumferential dimension of the groove 2111 along the base 11 can be determined based on the rotational stroke of the base 11 and the number of the first teeth 13.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second tooth 25 is provided on the second sidewall of the groove 2111 along the radial direction of the base 11.

[0064] Completely preventing the first tooth 13 from rotating means that when the user forcefully rotates the base 11, the base 11 will not rotate, thus preventing the first tooth 13 from rotating.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, the bracket 10 also includes a folded state, in which the folding part 12 and the base 11 are laid flat. In this way, the dimensions of the folding part 12 and the base 11 along the thickness direction of the back plate 21 are minimized, making it easy to store the bracket 10 on the back side of the back plate 21.

[0066] In some embodiments, the folding portion 12 is provided with a magnetic attraction component, which can magnetically engage with the back panel 21 in the folded state. This allows the folding portion 12 to be magnetically attached to the back panel 21 in the folded state, which helps to improve the stability of the folding portion 12 in the folded state.

[0067] For example, the folding part 12 is provided with a magnetic component at one end near the base 11. In the folded state, the magnetic component can be magnetically attracted to the back plate 21, and in the extended state, the magnetic component can also be magnetically engaged with the base 11.

[0068] Some implementation schemes, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the bracket 10 includes a hinge 14, and the folding part 12 is a rigid component. The folding part 12 is rotatably connected to the base 11 via the hinge 14. That is, the hinge 14 is used to achieve the rotatable connection between the base 11 and the folding part 12. The hinge 14 facilitates the folding part 12 to be flipped to a position overlapping the surface of the base 11. Moreover, when the folding part 12 overlaps the surface of the base 11, the hinge 14 can also provide auxiliary support for the folding part 12, so that the folding part 12 can be more stably fixed to the base 11.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The folding part 12 includes a magnetic structure 122, which is disposed on the placement part 121 and is used to attract the mobile terminal 30. That is, the magnetic attraction of the mobile terminal 30 by the magnetic structure 122 allows the mobile terminal 30 to be quickly fixed to the placement part 121, and also makes it easy for the mobile terminal 30 to be quickly separated from the placement part 121.

[0070] For example, the magnetic structure 122 is ring-shaped. The ring shape allows the magnetic structure 122 to provide magnetic force in multiple directions, which helps to improve the stability of the mobile terminal 30 when placed on the placement site 121.

[0071] In some embodiments, the annular magnetic structure 122 has a notch. The annular magnetic structure 122 with the notch can provide magnetic force to the mobile phone in multiple directions and also helps to reduce the cost of the magnetic structure 122.

[0072] In some embodiments, the magnetic attraction force provided by the magnetic attraction structure 122 is 9 to 11 Newtons (N), that is, 9N≤magnetic attraction force provided by the magnetic attraction structure 122≤11N. By controlling the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction structure 122 within this range, it is possible to avoid the instability of the mobile terminal 30 when it is placed on the placement part 121 due to the magnetic attraction force being too small, and it is also possible to avoid the mobile terminal 30 being too difficult to separate from the placement part 121 due to the magnetic attraction force being too large.

[0073] In some embodiments, the protective housing 20 also includes a support plate 22 (see [link]). Figure 3 and Figure 4 ) and keyboard 26 (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support plate 22 and the back plate 21 are rotatably connected. The keyboard 26 is mounted on the support plate 22 and is used for signal connection with the electronic device or mobile terminal 30. The support plate 22 supports the back plate 21, allowing the back plate 21 to rotate to different angles, thus adjusting the display angle of the tablet and the stand 10. By connecting the keyboard 26 to the electronic device or mobile terminal 30, typing input can be achieved using the keyboard 26. This allows the user to type without operating the electronic device or mobile terminal 30, improving work efficiency.

[0074] For example, the protective shell 20 includes a damping pivot, and the support plate 22 and the back plate 21 are rotatably connected by the damping pivot.
