Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically, to a car key protective cover. Background Technology

[0002] Car keys are a common accessory for automobiles, serving as essential tools for starting and operating the vehicle. To protect car keys from scratches, wear, and impacts, and to extend their lifespan, car key protective covers have emerged on the market. For example, patent number CN201821899580.2 discloses a car key protective cover comprising an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell is detachably fixed to the lower shell, and the upper and lower shells snap together to form a receiving cavity adapted to the car key or the key body. Both the upper and lower shells have grooves on their surfaces for attaching a decorative layer. Furthermore, the upper shell has at least one buckle, and the lower shell has at least one snap hole. The buckle 12 snaps into the snap hole 20, thereby fixing the upper shell 1 to the lower shell 2. While the above-described car key protective cover is convenient for attaching car keys, the design of the decorative layer attached to the groove provides a comfortable feel. However, since the upper and lower shells of this type of car key cover are in direct contact with the car key, and the materials of these upper and lower shells are generally quite hard, while the surface of the car key is relatively fragile, the upper and lower shells may rub against the surface of the car key when they are snapped together or disassembled, resulting in scratches on the surface of the car key.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, a clear and complete description will be provided below in conjunction with the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0026] A preferred embodiment of this utility model provides a car key protective cover, such as... Figure 1-5As shown, it includes an upper frame 11 and a lower frame 21 detachably connected to the upper frame 11; a semi-enclosed protective soft sleeve 31 is provided between the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 21; the protective soft sleeve 31 has a receiving cavity 32 that matches the outer contour of the key 01; the protective soft sleeve directly wraps the car key in the receiving cavity. In this embodiment, the protective soft sleeve can be made of soft silicone. Alternatively, the protective soft sleeve can also be made of other flexible materials in the prior art, such as rubber. When the car key is wrapped in the receiving cavity, the protective soft sleeve itself will not scratch the surface of the key. The receiving cavity matches the outer contour of the key, which means that the key will not have too much room to move in the receiving cavity, thereby reducing the friction between the key and the inner wall of the protective soft sleeve; one side of the protective soft sleeve 31 has an opening 33 that is connected to the key receiving cavity 32 and can be opened outward; in this embodiment, both the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 21 can be made of hard materials such as metal or plastic. The upper frame 11 has a first groove 12 on the upper edge corresponding to the opening 33, and the lower frame 21 has a second groove 22 on the lower edge corresponding to the opening 33. When the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 21 are fixedly connected, the protective soft sleeve 31 is fixed between the two, and the first groove 12 and the second groove 22 surround each other to form a clearance hole that communicates with the opening 33 and avoids the key teeth 02. It is worth noting that the key teeth 02 are a component of the key. The key teeth will not directly contact the upper and lower frames, reducing the risk of the key teeth being scratched. The width of the clearance hole is smaller than the width of the key 01, which can ensure that while leaving room for the key teeth to move, it prevents the key from falling out of the protective soft sleeve, thus playing the role of fixing the key.

[0027] This car key protective cover features a cleverly designed structure, including an upper frame, a lower frame, and a semi-enclosed protective soft sleeve. By placing the key into the receiving cavity of the protective soft sleeve, the sleeve provides excellent cushioning and isolates the upper and lower frames from direct contact with the key surface. This effectively prevents the key surface from being scratched by the upper and lower frames, thus extending the key's lifespan and maintaining its appearance. When the upper and lower frames are fixedly connected, the protective soft sleeve is not only secured between them but also the key is firmly held within the receiving cavity of the protective soft sleeve, resulting in a stable structure.

[0028] Furthermore, the outer surface of the middle part of the protective soft sleeve 31 is provided with an outwardly protruding retaining strip 34 that cooperates with and positions the upper frame and / or lower frame along its length; the retaining strip can position the upper frame and / or lower frame, so that the two can be connected and fixed at a predetermined position of the protective soft sleeve in the future.

[0029] In this embodiment, the locking strip 34 and the opening 33 are located on the left and right sides of the protective soft sleeve 31, respectively. Alternatively, the locking strip 34 and the opening 33 can also be set at the upper and lower ends of the protective soft sleeve. It is worth noting that the locking strip and the opening can also be set on the adjacent two side surfaces of the protective soft sleeve. The above simple position replacements are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0030] Furthermore, the inner surfaces of the edges of the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 21 are provided with insertion slots 13 that correspond to and engage with the card strip 34; when the upper frame and the lower frame are connected in place, the groove formed by the two insertion slots is adapted to the shape and size of the card strip 34; alternatively, the insertion slot 13 can also be provided separately on the upper frame 11 or separately on the lower frame, positioning only one frame, and the other frame can also be positioned when connected to it. When one frame is provided with an insertion slot, the shape and size of the insertion slot are adapted to the outer contour of the card strip.

[0031] Furthermore, to prevent the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 21 from being misaligned, the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 21 are connected by a positioning component on the same side of the card strip 34 or the insertion slot 13, so that the positioning is accurate.

[0032] Furthermore, the positioning component includes multiple positioning units; in one embodiment, multiple positioning posts 14 protrude along the length direction of the insertion slot 13 or the locking strip 34 on the end face of the upper frame 11 facing the lower frame 21, and multiple positioning slots 23 are provided on the end face of the lower frame 21, corresponding one-to-one with the multiple positioning posts 14 and engaging with the corresponding positioning posts 14 for positioning; the positioning posts 14 and the corresponding positioning slots 23 constitute a set of positioning units. The structure is simple and the positioning is accurate; alternatively, the positioning posts 14 can also be set on the lower frame 21, and the positioning slots 23 can be set on the upper frame 11; the above simple position substitutions are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0033] Furthermore, the first end of the upper frame 11 is connected to the first end of the lower frame 21 via a snap-fit ​​assembly, facilitating assembly and disassembly. The second end of the upper frame 11 is fixedly connected to the second end of the lower frame 21 via a locking member (not shown in the figure), ensuring a stable connection; in one embodiment, the locking member is a screw, a common feature in the art. Alternatively, in another embodiment, both ends of the upper frame 11 and both ends of the lower frame 21 may also be fixedly connected via locking members (not shown in the figure).

[0034] Optionally, one of the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 21 has a fastening element 15 on its end face, and the other has a slot 24 corresponding to and engaging with the fastening element 15. The fastening element 15 includes an extension 151 extending vertically toward the slot 24, and a snap-fit ​​portion 152 fixedly connected laterally to the extension 151. In this embodiment, the fastening element 15 has an L-shaped structure. The slot 24 includes a guide portion 241 for vertical insertion of the fastening element 15, and a snap-fit ​​groove 242 disposed on the inner wall of the guide portion 241 and engaging with the snap-fit ​​portion 152. The guide portion 241 is connected to the snap-fit ​​groove 242. The slot 24 also has an L-shaped structure matching the fastening element 15. Furthermore, the upper frame 11 or the lower frame 21 with the slot 24 is provided with a limiting portion 25 above the snap-fit ​​groove 242 to prevent the snap-fit ​​portion 152 from moving vertically outward.

[0035] Alternatively, the second end of the upper frame 11 is provided with a through hole 16 for the locking member (not shown in the figure) to pass through; the outer surface of the locking member (not shown in the figure) is provided with external threads; the second end of the lower frame 21 is provided with a threaded hole 26 corresponding to the through hole 16 and threadedly connected to the locking member (not shown in the figure), so that the connection is firm and reliable.

[0036] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
