[0028] [First Embodiment]

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 the drawings, the first embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device protective case, which includes a protective case body 100, an accessory connecting seat 200, and a plurality of support assemblies 300.

[0030] The protective shell body 100 can be wrapped on the outer side of the casing 21 of an electronic device 2 to protect the electronic device 2. In the embodiment, the protective shell body 100 is composed of an upper shell 110 and a lower shell 120. The upper shell 110 is wrapped on the electronic device 2 from the top surface of the electronic device 2, and the lower shell 120 is wrapped on the back surface of the electronic device 2 from the bottom surface of the electronic device 2. The upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 can be locked together by a plurality of locking members 130 to stably connect the upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 as a whole. The upper shell 110 and the lower shell 120 are made of high-strength engineering plastic material, so that the electronic device 2 can be protected by the protective shell body 100 to avoid damage caused by impact or falling to the ground.

[0031] The upper shell 110 has a frame 111 and a transparent window 112 located inside the frame 111, so that the display panel of the electronic device 2 can be exposed from the transparent window 112. The outer side of the frame 111 is wrapped with elastic buffer material to absorb impact. The lower shell 120 has a back plate 121 and an elastic back frame 122 surrounding the outer periphery of the back plate 121. The back plate 121 covers the back surface of the electronic device 2, and the elastic back frame 122 is made of elastic buffer material and has a certain thickness, so as to have the function of absorbing impact to protect the electronic device 2.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 The protective shell body 100 is provided with an accessory connecting seat 200 at a position substantially located in the center of the back plate 121. One end of the accessory connecting seat 200 protrudes from the back surface of the back plate 121 in a direction away from the back plate 121, and the end of the accessory connecting seat 200 away from the back plate 121 has a first contact portion 210. In the embodiment, the first contact portion 210 can provide a mounting plane, and a plurality of screw holes 220 are provided on the first contact portion 210 to lock a plurality of different accessories on the accessory connecting seat 200.

[0033] A plurality of support assemblies 300 are arranged around the protective shell body 100, and one end of each support assembly 300 protrudes from the back surface of the back plate 121 in a direction away from the back plate 121. Each support assembly 300 has a buffer protrusion 310, and each buffer protrusion 310 is protrudingly arranged on the surface of the lower shell 120 and is made of high-molecular polymer material such as engineering plastic, rubber or silicone.

[0034] Each support assembly 300 has a second contact portion 320 at an end away from the back plate 121. The height of each second contact portion 320 relative to the back plate 121 and the height of the first contact portion 210 of the accessory connection seat 200 relative to the back plate 121 are substantially equal, so that the plurality of second contact portions 320 and the first contact portion 210 are substantially coplanar, and when the electronic device protective case 1 of the present application is placed on a plane, the plurality of second contact portions 320 and the first contact portion 210 can collectively contact the plane on which the electronic device protective case 1 is placed.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in the present embodiment, the plurality of support assemblies 300 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the accessory connection seat 200. For ease of description, the protective case body 100 can define a first direction D1 and a second direction D2 substantially parallel to the back plate 121, and the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are not parallel to each other and pass through and intersect at the accessory connection seat 200. Among the plurality of support assemblies 300, two support assemblies 300 are arranged on both sides of the accessory connection seat 200 in the first direction D1, and the other two support assemblies 300 are arranged on both sides of the accessory connection seat 200 in the second direction D2.

[0036] More specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 5 , in the present embodiment, the number of the plurality of support assemblies 300 is four, and they are arranged in a cross-shaped arrangement near the four sides of the protective case body 100 on the back of the lower shell 120, so that when the back of the electronic device protective case 1 forms support points at the central position and near the four sides, the pressure can be evenly distributed to the five support points when the electronic device 2 is subjected to gravity or pressure, thereby reducing the bending moment of the electronic device 2 when it is subjected to pressure, and effectively preventing the electronic device from bending or being damaged when it is subjected to pressure.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the plurality of support assemblies 300 simultaneously have the function of improving the stability and comfort of the user's grip. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, to ensure that the shapes of the multiple support components 300 are suitable for a user's hand grip, the shape of the buffer protrusion 310 of each support component 300 is generally configured as a protrusion extending from the edge of the protective shell body 100 toward the accessory connector 200 along a first direction D1 or a second direction D2. The length of each buffer protrusion 310 from the side of the protective shell body 100 near the accessory connector 200 is configured to be between 10 mm and 90 mm; preferably, the length of each buffer protrusion 310 from the side of the protective shell body 100 near the accessory connector 200 is configured to be between 10 mm and 50 mm. The height of each buffer protrusion 310 protruding from the back plate 121 is configured to be greater than 5 mm, and viewed from the side of the protective shell body 100, each buffer protrusion 310 has an inclined surface that gradually increases in height from the side of the protective shell body 100 toward the accessory connector 200, thus making each buffer protrusion 310 form a shape suitable for a user's hand grip.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the buffer protrusions 310 of the support components 300 located on both sides of the first direction D1 are provided with recesses extending from the side of the protective shell body 100 toward the accessory connector 200, and anti-slip textures 311 are provided on the bottom surface of the recesses to increase the friction of the user's fingers gripping.

[0039] It should be noted that although this embodiment discloses that multiple support components 300 are arranged in a cross shape on the back of the protective shell body 100 near the four sides, this application is not limited to this. For example, in embodiments not shown in other figures of this application, multiple support components 300 can also be arranged in an X shape on the back of the protective shell body 100 near the four corners. Furthermore, the number of support components 300 is not limited to four, but can be four or more.

[0040] [Second Embodiment]

[0041] like Figures 6 to 8 The image shows a second embodiment of the electronic device protective case 1 of this application. It should be noted that the basic structure of this embodiment is largely the same as the first embodiment; therefore, similar technical content between the two embodiments will not be repeated.

[0042] In the present embodiment, a flat plate accessory 400 can be further arranged on the front surface of the protective shell body 100. The flat plate accessory 400 can cover the surface of the display panel 22 of the electronic device 2 and provide an additional function. For example, in the present embodiment, the flat plate accessory 400 is a key guide cover (Key Gard) having a plate body 410, a plurality of hollow portions 411 arranged on the plate body 410, and a first clamping member 420 arranged on opposite sides of the plate body 410.

[0043] The plate body 410 is configured to be inserted into the inside of the transparent window 112 of the upper shell 110. Two second clamping members 140 corresponding to the two first clamping members 420 are arranged on the inside of the frame 111 of the upper shell 110. The flat plate accessory 400 can be detachably arranged in the transparent window 112 of the upper shell 110 and abut against the surface of the display panel 22 of the electronic device 2 by cooperation of the first clamping members 420 and the second clamping members 140.

[0044] In more detail, in the present embodiment, the two first clamping members 420 are clamping grooves recessed inward from the sides of the plate body 410, and the two second clamping members 140 are protruding clamping tabs extending inward from the inner edges of the frame 111. The shapes of the ends of the two second clamping members 140 are complementary to the shapes of the clamping grooves of the first clamping members 420, so that the clamping tabs of the two second clamping members 140 can be clamped into the clamping grooves of the two first clamping members 420.

[0045] [Advantages of the Embodiment]

[0046] One of the advantages of the present application is that the electronic device protective shell provided by the present application and the accessory connecting seat arranged on the back surface of the protective shell body and the plurality of support components close to the edges of the protective shell body are substantially coplanar with a first contact portion of the accessory connecting seat and a second contact portion of the plurality of support components. When the electronic device is placed on a flat surface and the electronic device bears weight or pressure, the gravity or pressure borne by the electronic device can be evenly distributed to the first contact portion and the plurality of second contact portions, thereby reducing the chance of bending or deformation of the electronic device under gravity or pressure.

[0047] Further, the plurality of support components of the present application are configured in a shape suitable for the user's palm, thereby improving the stability and safety of the user's hand holding the electronic device.

[0048] The above-described embodiments and / or implementations are merely used to illustrate the preferred embodiments and / or implementations of the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application in any form, and any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to other equivalent embodiments without departing from the technical means disclosed in the present application, but should be considered as the same technology or embodiments as the present application.
