[0042] For lens protection, traditional housings use multiple connecting components and hinges stacked together, which increases the thickness of the connecting components and hinges, making the overall housing thicker and heavier.
[0043] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mobile phone lens flip cover 100 has a housing 10 and a cover 20. The housing 10 is used to house electronic devices, such as tablets and mobile phones. In this embodiment, the housing 10 is used to place the mobile phone, which is stored in the frame 14. The housing 10 has a through hole 11, which is used to house the lens area of the mobile phone. Typically, the mobile phone lens protrudes from the body. Therefore, the through hole 11 has connecting protrusions 70 around it. The connecting protrusions 70 have a first height and are higher than the lens area. The size of the through hole 11 and the height of the connecting protrusions 70 can be set according to the number and size of the lenses.
[0044] Furthermore, the mobile phone lens flip cover 100 also has a first connecting plate 30 and a second connecting plate 40, which are rotatably connected. The first connecting plate 30 is connected to the front of the cover 10, and the cover 20 is disposed on the back of the cover 10 via the second connecting plate 40. The front of the cover 10 refers to the side facing the user during use, and also the side facing the electronic device. The back of the cover 10 is the opposite side of the front, the side away from the electronic device. During use, the first connecting plate 30 is positioned between the mobile phone and the cover 10. The first connecting plate 30 is disposed on the housing 10 and the second connecting plate 40 is disposed on the cover 20. When the first connecting plate 30 and the second connecting plate 40 rotate relative to each other, the cover 20 switches between a closed state covering the through hole 11 and an open state away from the through hole 11. In the open state, the lens can be used. In the closed state, the cover 20 can protect the lens from friction or contamination. Moreover, this arrangement avoids complex stacking structures, making the overall structure thin and simple. The fixing strength of the first connecting plate 30 disposed between the mobile phone and the housing 10 is improved, ensuring the stability of the connection and rotation of the housing 10 and the cover 20.
[0045] Preferably, the area of the cover 20 is slightly larger than the area of the through hole 11 to ensure coverage of the lens area and prevent dust and other contaminants from entering.
[0046] In one embodiment, a first connecting flap 30 and a second connecting flap 40 are connected to the housing 10 and the cover 20. The first connecting flap 30 passes through the housing 10 and its thickness does not exceed that of the housing 10. The second connecting flap 40 passes through the cover 20 and its thickness does not exceed that of the cover 20. This ensures that the thickness of the mobile phone lens flip cover 100 does not increase even with the addition of the first connecting flap 30 and the second connecting flap 40, maintaining an overall thin and light design. Specifically, the first connecting flap 30 is located on the front side of the housing 10 on the side of the through hole 11, with one side of the first connecting flap 30 adhering to the front side of the housing 10. The first riveting... The component 60 penetrates the back of the housing 10 and the first connecting plate 30, so that the first connecting plate 30 is interference-fitted with the housing 10, and one side of the second connecting plate 40 is in contact with the cover 20; the second connecting plate 40 is set on the cover 20 through the second riveting component 21 and is connected to the back of the housing 10, that is, the first connecting plate 30 and the second connecting plate 40 are set in opposite directions, unlike those set on the same vertical plane, so as to avoid the thickness of the first connecting plate 30 and the second connecting plate 40 in the mobile phone lens flip protective case 100, and make the mobile phone lens flip protective case 100 thinner overall.
[0047] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The housing 10 is provided with a first through hole 15 for fixing the first connecting plate 30. Preferably, there are three first through holes 15 arranged in a triangle. The first connecting plate 30 is provided with a first connecting hole 31 opposite to the first through hole 15. The first riveting member 60 passes through the first through hole 15 and the first connecting hole 31 to fix the first connecting plate 30 to the housing 10. The second connecting plate 40 is provided with a second connecting hole 41. The second connecting plate 40 is connected to the cover 20 through the second connecting hole 41 and the second riveting member 21. The structure of the first riveting member 60 is adapted to the structure of the first connecting plate 30. The second riveting member 21 is provided on the side of the cover 20 facing the through hole 11.
[0048] Based on the foregoing embodiments, refer to Figure 4 A pivot 51 is located at one end of a support rod 50. A second connecting leaf 40 is rotatably connected to one end of the support rod 50 by being sleeved on the pivot 51. A first connecting leaf 30 is connected to the other end of the support rod 50 and fits against its front side. The support rod 50 has a certain height and is arranged along the thickness direction of the housing 10. In the closed state, the first connecting leaf 30 and the second connecting leaf 40 are located on both sides of the support rod 50. This simplified stacking method makes the overall structure thinner, and the support rod 50 provides space for the second connecting leaf 40 to rotate, allowing the cover 20 to rotate 0-180° (reference). Figure 8 and Figure 9 It is suitable for more usage scenarios.
[0049] In this embodiment, the first connecting leaf 30 is semi-circular, and the two ends of the second connecting leaf 40 are bent and extended away from the support rod 50, thereby increasing the contact area between the second connecting leaf 40 and the cover 20 and maintaining the stability of the cover 20 during rotation.
[0050] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, a connecting channel 12 is further provided on the housing 10. The connecting channel 12 is disposed on one side of the through hole 11, as shown in the reference. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The connecting channel 12 is inclined relative to the housing 10 and extends vertically through the housing 10 in a rectangular shape. The support rod 50 passes through the connecting channel 12, with one end connected to the first connecting plate 30 on the front of the housing 10 and the other end connected to the second connecting plate 40 on the back of the housing 10 via a pivot 51, thereby opening and closing the cover 20. Compared with the traditional method of setting transmission components on the housing, this configuration of the support rod 50 reduces the stacking of transmission components and does not increase the thickness of the housing 10.
[0051] The second connecting plate 40 rotates relative to the support rod 50. Since the connecting channel 12 is inclined relative to the housing 10, the support rod 50 is inclined relative to the housing 10 and is located in the connecting channel 12. When the cover 20 is opened, the cover can support the mobile phone at different angles, making it convenient for the user to view the screen.
[0052] Preferably, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 A first groove 13 is provided on the front of the housing 10. The first groove 13 communicates with the connecting channel 12 to accommodate the first connecting piece 30. The first groove 13 is located on the side near the through hole 11. The first through hole 15, the first connecting piece 30, and the first riveting member 60 are fixedly connected at the first groove 13. The first groove 13 ensures that the first connecting piece 30 and the first riveting member 60 do not exceed the thickness of the housing 10 and the connecting protrusion 70. Similarly, a second groove 22 is provided on the side of the cover 20 facing the through hole 11. The second groove 22 is used to accommodate the second connecting piece 40. The second connecting piece 40 is located at the second groove 22 and connected to the second riveting member 21. The second groove 22 ensures that the second connecting piece 40 does not exceed the thickness of the cover 20. The first groove 13 is adapted to the first connecting piece 30, and the second groove 22 is adapted to the second connecting piece 40, so that the first connecting piece 30 is precisely embedded in the housing 10 and the second connecting piece 40 is precisely embedded in the cover 20, ensuring the overall thinness.
[0053] The connecting protrusion 70 also includes portions disposed on the front and back sides of the housing 10. On the front side of the housing 10, the connecting protrusion 70 surrounds the first connecting leaf 30. The first riveting member 60 fixes the first connecting leaf 30 in the first groove 13 on the front side of the housing 10. On the back side of the housing 10, the connecting protrusion 70 surrounds the first riveting member 60. The first riveting member 60 is not higher than the connecting protrusion 70. The second riveting member 21 fixes the second connecting leaf 40 on the front side of the cover 20. The connecting protrusion 70 and the cover 20 have a first height that can accommodate a lens. The second connecting leaf 40 is then rotated by a rotating shaft 51 sleeved on the back side of the housing 10, thereby rotating the cover 20. The rotating shaft 51 is disposed at one end of the support rod 50. The first connecting leaf 30 and the second connecting leaf 40 are connected by the support rod 50. The housing 10 is fixed between the first riveting member 60 and the first connecting leaf 30.
[0054] Based on the aforementioned embodiments, the mobile phone lens flip cover 100 is further provided with a first shielding plate 80 and a second shielding plate 81. The first shielding plate 80 and the second shielding plate 81 can be adapted to the first connecting plate 30 and the second connecting plate 40, respectively. On the housing 10, the first shielding plate 80 is disposed on the side facing the device and covers the first connecting plate 30. On the cover 20, the second shielding plate 81 covers the second connecting plate 40, so that the mobile phone lens flip cover 100 does not expose the connecting parts (first rivet 60, second rivet 21, first connecting plate 30 and second connecting plate 40). Figure 7 The flip cover 100 for mobile phone lenses is designed to provide an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance for the user and enhances the user's experience.
[0055] Preferably, a receiving groove adapted to the size of the first shielding plate 80 and the second shielding plate 81 can be provided at the position of the first shielding plate 80 and the second shielding plate 81, so that the first shielding plate 80 and the second shielding plate 81 can be adapted to the housing 10 or the cover 20 after being placed in the receiving groove. The first shielding plate 80 and the second shielding plate 81 arranged in this way can be hidden in the receiving groove, so that they will not protrude from the housing 10 or the cover 20 and will not increase their thickness.
[0056] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 The cover 20 is in the open position. Figure 10With the cover 20 in the closed state, the "Z"-shaped hinge structure composed of the first connecting leaf 30, the second connecting leaf 40, and the support rod 50 changes the original hinge shape to a "I"-shaped stacking method, making the mobile phone lens flip cover 100 appear thinner at the pivot 51 position when viewed from the outside. Moreover, during use, simply rotating the cover 20 will clamp the hinge structure composed of the first connecting leaf 30 between the mobile phone and the cover 10. This method improves the strength during connection and rotation. At the same time, the second connecting leaf 40 can be used as a stand to support the mobile phone when rotated to the appropriate position.
[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
