Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of accessories for electronic devices, and particularly to an electronic device accessory. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electronic devices with touchscreens, such as smartphones and tablets, are ubiquitous. Among common human-computer interaction methods, styluses, with their advantages of effectively replacing human hands, are widely used as an auxiliary device. The principle of a stylus is to use conductive materials to mimic human fingers for human-computer interaction. With the development of apps, styluses are no longer simply a substitute for finger control; more and more users are using styluses for work on electronic devices, such as note-taking, drawing, and document annotation. However, the problem of where to store styluses remains.

[0003] Electronic devices are typically equipped with protective cases. Some existing solutions include additional storage space on the side of the case to house the stylus. However, storing the stylus on the side of the case presents several challenges. First, it requires additional processing to the case, increasing manufacturing costs. Second, the case is relatively thin, while the stylus itself has a certain volume; adding storage space on the side of the case would increase its length or width, causing inconvenience for the user's grip and use, impacting the user experience and the product's aesthetics.

This application can be implemented in other ways. Furthermore, it should be understood that the wording and terminology used herein are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as limiting. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and similar expressions used herein mean to include the items listed thereafter, their equivalents, and other additional items. In particular, when describing "an element," this application does not limit the number of elements to one, but may include multiple elements.

[0029] Please also refer to Figure 1-9 As shown, this application provides an electronic device accessory 10, which includes a housing 12 and a bracket 14. The housing 12 has a receiving space for accommodating an electronic device 16. The bracket 14 is connected to the housing and can switch between an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the bracket 14 can support the housing 12 upright on a surface. In the closed state, the bracket 14 is stored on the housing 12. The bracket 14 has a receiving portion 18, which can accommodate a stylus 20 of the electronic device 16. By providing a receiving portion 18 on the bracket 14, this application allows the stylus 20 to be stored on the bracket 14. Compared to machining the receiving portion on a thinner housing, machining the receiving portion 18 on the bracket 14 is simpler and less costly. It eliminates the need for machining the housing, avoiding the size increase and inconvenience of holding and using the device caused by housing machining.

[0030] In this application, please also refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, electronic device 16 can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, or other electronic product with touch screen functionality. Electronic device 16 can be a foldable screen device or a non-foldable screen device. This application uses a foldable screen phone as an example for explanation. Correspondingly, electronic device accessory 10 is a protective case for a foldable screen phone. Specifically, the foldable screen phone includes a first part 22 and a second part 24 that are rotatably connected. The first part 22 can rotate relative to the second part 24 between a folded position and an unfolded position. For example, when the first part 22 rotates to the folded position, the first part 22 is stacked on top of the second part 24, and the foldable screen phone is in a folded state. When the first part 22 rotates to the unfolded position, the first part 22 is parallel to the second part 24, or the first part 22 and the second part 24 form a large obtuse angle, and the foldable screen phone is in an unfolded state.

[0031] The phone comprises two parts: a first part 22 with a first screen and a second screen, and a second part 24 with a third screen. The second and third screens are rotatably connected and together form the foldable large screen of the foldable phone. The side of the second part 24 opposite the third screen can house components such as a camera and flash. When the foldable phone is in a folded state, the second screen folds onto the third screen, thus folding the large screen. At this time, only the first screen is usable; the large foldable screen is not displayed. When the foldable phone is in an unfolded state, the large foldable screen unfolds and becomes usable. At this time, the first screen can be used or not.

[0032] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the electronic device 16 may also be a single-screen mobile phone or other single-screen device, which can also be used with the stylus 20 for touch operation.

[0033] Corresponding to foldable screen phones, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 12 includes a first housing portion 32 and a second housing portion 34. The first housing portion 32 is provided with a first receiving portion 36, and the second housing portion 34 is provided with a second receiving portion 38. The first receiving portion 36 and the second receiving portion 38 communicate with each other and together form the receiving space of the electronic device 16. The bracket 14 is connected to the second housing portion 34, for example, the bracket 14 is connected to the side of the second housing portion 34 away from the second receiving portion 38.

[0034] Specifically, the first housing 32 includes a first back plate 40 and a first frame 42 connected to the periphery of the first back plate 40. The side of the first frame 42 corresponding to the rotating connection part of the electronic device 16 is an open structure, that is, the first frame 42 has a three-sided side structure. The first back plate 40 and the first frame 42 enclose to form a first receiving part 36, and the first part 22 is received within the first receiving part 36. The second housing 34 includes a second back plate 44 and a second frame 46 connected to the periphery of the second back plate 44. The side of the second frame 46 corresponding to the rotating connection part of the electronic device 16 is an open structure, that is, the second frame 46 has a three-sided side structure. The second back plate 44 and the second frame 46 enclose to form a second receiving part 38, and the second part 24 is received within the second receiving part 38. The first back plate 40 has a window 48, which is, for example, a hollow structure. The window 48 corresponds to the position of the first screen, so that the first screen can be exposed through the window 48 for user viewing and touch operation.

[0035] In this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first shell portion 32 and the second shell portion 34 are separately configured, meaning they are two relatively independent entities. The first shell portion 32 is fitted over the first part 22 of the electronic device 16, and the second shell portion 34 is fitted over the second part 24 of the electronic device 16. When the two parts of the electronic device 16 are folded or unfolded, the first shell portion 32 and the second shell portion 34 move in a relative folding or unfolding motion. In other embodiments, the first shell portion 32 and the second shell portion 34 may also be configured to be rotatably connected by a connector.

[0036] In the illustrated embodiment, the support 14 is generally elongated and block-shaped; in other embodiments, the support 14 may be designed in other shapes. Please also refer to... Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 14 includes a bracket base 50 and a bracket top cover 52, wherein both the bracket base 50 and the bracket top cover 52 are preferably elongated block structures. The bracket base 50 is connected to the back of the second back plate 44 of the second housing portion 34, and the bracket top cover 52 is rotatably connected to the bracket base 50. The receiving portion 18 is disposed on the bracket base 50 and / or the bracket top cover 52. In this embodiment, the stylus 20 is elongated rod-shaped; therefore, the receiving portion 18 is also correspondingly designed as an adapted elongated shape, such as a groove structure.

[0037] One end of the bracket base 50 is rotatably connected to one end of the bracket top cover 52. The bracket top cover 52 can rotate relative to the bracket base 50 between a support position and a storage position. When the bracket top cover 52 is in the support position, the bracket top cover 52 and the bracket base 50 form a preset angle. At this time, the bracket top cover 52 can act as a support to support the housing 12 and the electronic device 16 on a surface. When the bracket top cover 52 is in the storage position, the bracket top cover 52 is stored on the bracket base 50. For example, the bracket top cover 52 is stacked on the side of the bracket base 50 away from the second housing part 34. At this time, the bracket top cover 52 and the bracket base 50 together form a long strip-shaped complete integral structure, which increases the aesthetics.

[0038] Preferably, such as Figure 4 As shown, the receiving portion 18 is simultaneously disposed on both the bracket base 50 and the bracket cover 52. That is, a portion of the receiving portion 18 is disposed on the bracket base 50, and another portion is disposed on the bracket cover 52. When the bracket cover 52 is housed on the bracket base 50, the two portions of the receiving portion 18 are combined to form a whole. In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving portion 18 includes a first receiving cavity 54 and a second receiving cavity 56, both of which are groove structures. The first receiving cavity 54 is disposed on the side of the bracket base 50 opposite to the second shell portion 34, and the second receiving cavity 56 is disposed on the side of the bracket cover 52 near the bracket base 50. The positions of the first receiving cavity 54 and the second receiving cavity 56 correspond, such that when the bracket cover 52 is housed on the bracket base 50, the first receiving cavity 54 and the second receiving cavity 56 are combined to form the receiving portion 18. This design makes full use of the thickness space of the bracket base 50 and the bracket cover 52, avoiding insufficient volume or increased thickness of the bracket base 50 or bracket cover 52 when the housing 18 is set separately in the bracket base 50 or the bracket cover 52.

[0039] Furthermore, both the bracket base 50 and the bracket cover 52 are elongated block structures. The central area of ​​the bracket base 50 facing away from the second shell 34 is recessed towards the second shell 34 to form a first receiving cavity 54. The central area of ​​the bracket cover 52 facing away from the bracket base 50 is recessed towards the direction away from the bracket base 50 to form a second receiving cavity 56. When the bracket cover 52 is in the storage position, the first receiving cavity 54 and the second receiving cavity 56 are closed to form a receiving portion 18.

[0040] In some embodiments, the bracket base 50 and the second housing 34 can be fixedly connected, for example by riveting, screw fixing, die-cutting, or adhesive. In other embodiments, the bracket base 50 and the second housing 34 can also be detachably connected, for example by snap-fit ​​connection, adhesive, or magnetic attraction, so that the bracket 14 is detachably connected to the housing 12. When needed, the bracket 14 can be detachably installed on the second housing 34, and when not needed, the bracket 14 can be removed, providing convenience to the user.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the support base 50 and the second housing 34 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction. Specifically, the bottom of the support base 50 is provided with a first magnet 58, which is a magnetizable object such as a magnet or an iron sheet. The second housing 34 is provided with a second magnet 60 on the side opposite to the second receiving portion 38, which is also a magnetizable object such as a magnet or an iron sheet. The first magnet 58 and the second magnet 60 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0042] Preferably, multiple first magnets 58 and multiple second magnets 60 can be provided, and the number of the two is the same and their positions correspond one-to-one. Multiple first magnets 58 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the support base 50, and multiple second magnets 60 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the second shell 34.

[0043] Optionally, the bottom of the support base 50 is provided with a first recess, and the second housing portion 34 is provided with a second recess on the side opposite to the second receiving portion 38. The first magnet 58 is fixedly housed in the first recess, and the second magnet 60 is fixedly housed in the second recess. The first recess may be located on the bottom surface of the support base 50, or it may be located inside the support base 50. Similarly, the second recess may be located on the surface of the second housing portion 34 opposite to the second receiving portion 38, or it may be located inside the second housing portion 34.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the bracket base 50 and the second shell portion 34 are detachably connected by adhesive. Specifically, the bracket base 50 and the second shell portion 34 are bonded together by an adhesive member 62, such as double-sided adhesive. One side of the adhesive member 62 is attached to the bottom surface of the bracket base 50, and the other side is attached to the surface of the second shell portion 34 opposite to the second receiving portion 38. Preferably, the bottom of the bracket base 50 has a first groove, and the adhesive member 62 is disposed in the first groove, with its outer surface flush with the bottom surface of the bracket base 50, or its outer surface protruding beyond the first groove. In other embodiments, the bracket base 50 and the second shell portion 34 can also be detachably connected by an adhesive member such as Velcro.

[0045] In the illustrated embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, one end of the bracket cover 52 is rotatably connected to one end of the bracket base 50 via a rotating structure. The rotatably connected end of the bracket cover 52 and the bracket base 50 is located at the end of the second housing 34 near the camera of the electronic device 16. The bracket base 50 is provided with a first magnetic member 64, and the bracket cover 52 is provided with a second magnetic member 66. The first magnetic member 64 and the second magnetic member 66 are, for example, magnets or iron sheets, or other magnetizable objects. The first magnetic member 64 and the second magnetic member 66 magnetically engage and are positioned correspondingly, so that when the bracket cover 52 is stored on the bracket base 50, it can be attracted and fixed by the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic member 64 and the second magnetic member 66, achieving self-locking attraction when the bracket cover 52 is stored, and preventing the bracket cover 52 from being easily opened without external force.

[0046] Preferably, the first magnetic member 64 is disposed on the side of the bracket base 50 away from the second shell portion 34, and the second magnetic member 66 is disposed on the side of the bracket upper cover 52 near the bracket base 50. Further, the first magnetic member 64 is disposed at the end of the bracket base 50 away from the rotating structure, and the second magnetic member 66 is disposed at the end of the bracket upper cover 52 away from the rotating structure. Two of each of the first and second magnetic members 64 can be provided, with the two first magnetic members 64 symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the first receiving cavity 54, and the two second magnetic members 66 symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the second receiving cavity 56. Optionally, the side of the bracket base 50 away from the second shell portion 34 has a third recess, and the side of the bracket upper cover 52 near the bracket base 50 has a fourth recess, with the first magnetic member 64 fixed in the third recess and the second magnetic member 66 fixed in the fourth recess. In other embodiments, the third recess can also be disposed inside the bracket base 50, and the fourth recess can be disposed inside the bracket upper cover 52.

[0047] Further, please refer to Figure 7 As shown, the support base 50 and / or the support cover 52 are provided with a third magnetic member 68 in the area corresponding to the receiving portion 18. The third magnetic member 68 is, for example, a magnet or a piece of iron that can be magnetized. The third magnetic member 68 is used to magnetically engage with the fourth magnetic member of the stylus 20. In the illustrated embodiment, the third magnetic member 68 is disposed on the support base 50, for example, at the bottom or inside of the support base 50. The fourth magnetic member is, for example, the built-in magnet of the stylus 20 or a metal shell, so that the stylus 20 can be attracted and fixed after being placed in the receiving portion 18, which facilitates the attraction and storage of the stylus 20 and prevents the stylus 20 from accidentally falling out.

[0048] In this application, the bracket 14 is a long, rectangular block when closed, and both the bracket base 50 and the bracket cover 52 are long, rectangular blocks. The length direction of the bracket base 50 is parallel to the length direction of the second shell 34, and the bracket base 50 is located on the side of the second shell 34 closer to the first shell 32 in the width direction. It should be understood that this description of the positional relationship refers to the bracket base 50 being located on the side of the second shell 34 closer to the first shell 32 in the width direction when the shell 12 is in the unfolded state. The length of the bracket 14 is less than the length of the second shell 34, and the bracket 14 is entirely located within the area defined by the second shell 34. This design allows the bracket cover 52 to be close to the vertical center of the shell 12, enabling the bracket 14 to provide both lateral and vertical support in both open and closed states, meeting the user's multi-angle support needs.

[0049] In the illustrated embodiments, please also refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a mounting portion 70 is formed on one end of the bracket base 50 that is rotatably connected and protrudes in the direction away from the second shell portion 34. A storage position 72 is formed between the mounting portion 70 and the bracket base 50. The storage position 72 is used to store the bracket top cover 52, and the first receiving cavity 54 is provided at the bottom of the storage position 72. The bracket top cover 52 and the mounting portion 70 are rotatably connected by a rotating structure. When the bracket top cover 52 is rotated to the storage position, the bracket top cover 52 is located in the storage position 72.

[0050] In such Figure 1-7 In the illustrated embodiment, the bracket cover 52 and the mounting portion 70 are rotatably connected via a first pivot 74. Specifically, the mounting portion 70 has a pivot position 75 on one side of the storage position 72, and the bracket cover 52 has a pivot portion 76 at one end. The pivot portion 76 is located at the pivot position 75. The first pivot 74 passes through the pivot portion 76 and is connected to the side wall of the mounting portion 70 located at the pivot position 75. For example, the pivot portion 76 has a first shaft hole 78, and the mounting portion 70 has second shaft holes 80 on the opposite side walls of the pivot position 75. The first pivot 74 passes through the first shaft hole 78, and both ends of the first pivot 74 are respectively inserted into the two second shaft holes 80, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the bracket cover 52 and the bracket base 50. The support angle can be adjusted by rotating the bracket cover 52.

[0051] Furthermore, the first pivot 74 is inclined relative to the width direction of the second shell 34. Simultaneously, the sidewall of the mounting portion 70 on the side of the storage position 72 and the sidewall of the bracket cover 52 opposite to the mounting portion 70 are both inclined, and the inclination direction is the same as the inclination direction of the first pivot 74. For example, the two sidewalls mentioned above are parallel to the inclination direction of the first pivot 74, causing the bracket cover 52 to continuously tilt towards the central position of the opening structure between the first shell 32 and the second shell 34 during opening. For example, after the bracket cover 52 is opened, the end of the bracket cover 52 away from the first pivot 74 is exactly located at the central position of the opening structure between the first shell 32 and the second shell 34, finding an optimal stable support point to improve the stability of the bracket 14. In other embodiments, the first pivot 74 can also be designed to be parallel to the width direction of the second shell 34.

[0052] In such Figure 8-9 In the illustrated embodiment, the bracket cover 52 and the mounting portion 70 are rotatably connected via a second pivot 82, a first hinge 84, and a second hinge 86. Specifically, the first hinge 84 includes a first fixing portion 88 and a first rotating connecting portion 90 connected together, and the second hinge 86 includes a second fixing portion 92 and a second rotating connecting portion 94 connected together. The first fixing portion 88 is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 70. For example, the mounting portion 70 has a first connecting groove 96 on the side facing away from the second housing portion 34 and near the storage position 72, and the first fixing portion 88 is riveted to the first connecting groove 96. The second fixing portion 92 is fixedly connected to the bracket cover 52. For example, the bracket cover 52 has a second connecting groove 98 on the side facing away from the bracket base 50 and near the mounting portion 70, and the second fixing portion 92 is riveted to the second connecting groove 98.

[0053] The first rotating connecting part 90 and the second rotating connecting part 94 are respectively rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 82. Specifically, there is a gap 100 between the bracket cover 52 and the mounting part 70. The first rotating connecting part 90 and the second rotating connecting part 94 are positioned corresponding to the gap 100, that is, the first rotating connecting part 90 extends out of the mounting part 70, and the second rotating connecting part 94 extends out of the bracket cover 52. The first rotating connecting part 90 and the second rotating connecting part 94 are, for example, both wound structures. The first rotating connecting part 90 is wound to form a third shaft hole 102. Two second rotating connecting parts 94 are provided and spaced apart. The two second rotating connecting parts 94 are respectively wound to form a fourth shaft hole 104. The first rotating connecting part 90 is located between the two second rotating connecting parts 94. The second rotating shaft 82 passes through the third shaft hole 102 and its two ends are respectively connected to the two fourth shaft holes 104, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the bracket cover 52 and the bracket base 50. The support angle can be adjusted by rotating the bracket cover 52.

[0054] Furthermore, the second rotating shaft 82 is inclined relative to the width direction of the second shell 34. Simultaneously, the sidewall of the mounting portion 70 located on the side of the storage position 72 and the sidewall of the bracket cover 52 opposite to the mounting portion 70 are both inclined, and the inclination direction is the same as the inclination direction of the second rotating shaft 82. For example, the two sidewalls mentioned above are arranged parallel to the inclination direction of the second rotating shaft 82, causing the bracket cover 52 to continuously tilt towards the central position of the opening structure opposite the first shell 32 and the second shell 34 during the opening process. For example, after the bracket cover 52 is opened, the end of the bracket cover 52 away from the second rotating shaft 82 is exactly located at the central position of the opening structure opposite the first shell 32 and the second shell 34, finding an optimal stable support point to improve the stability of the bracket 14. In other embodiments, the second rotating shaft 82 can also be designed to be parallel to the width direction of the second shell 34.

[0055] In such Figure 1-7 In the illustrated embodiment, the receiving portion 18 is a circumferentially closed structure, that is, the first receiving cavity 54 and the second receiving cavity 56 are circumferentially closed structures. This can also be understood as the cavity sidewalls of the first receiving cavity 54 and the second receiving cavity 56 being annularly closed structures, meaning the cavities are not connected to the outside. When the stylus 20 is stored in the receiving portion 18, the stylus 20 is entirely located inside the support 14.

[0056] In such Figure 8-9 In the illustrated embodiment, one end of the bracket 14 is provided with a socket 106, which communicates with one end of the receiving portion 18. For example, the socket 106 is located at the end of the bracket 14 away from the rotatable connection. Correspondingly, a portion of the socket 106 is located on the bracket upper cover 52, and another portion is located on the bracket base 50. From another perspective, it can also be considered that one end of the receiving portion 18 passes through the corresponding ends of the bracket base 50 and the bracket upper cover 52 to form the socket 106. The socket 106 can be used for inserting / removing the stylus 20 into the receiving portion 18, providing convenience to the user.

[0057] Furthermore, when the stylus 20 is stored in the receiving part 18, part of the stylus 20 is located inside the receiving part 18 (i.e., inside the bracket 14), and the other part extends out of the bracket 14 through the insertion port 106, so that the stylus 20 can be quickly pulled out for use without opening the bracket 14, or quickly inserted into the receiving part 18 for storage without opening the bracket 14.

[0058] In summary, this application provides an electronic device accessory, including a housing and a bracket. The housing has a housing space for accommodating an electronic device, and the bracket is connected to the housing and can be switched between an open state and a closed state. In the open state, the bracket can support the housing upright on a surface, and in the closed state, the bracket is stored in the housing. The bracket has a receiving portion for accommodating a stylus of the electronic device. By providing a receiving portion on the bracket, this application allows the stylus to be stored on the bracket. Compared to machining the receiving portion on a thinner housing, machining the receiving portion on the bracket is simpler and less costly, eliminating the need for housing machining and avoiding the size increase and inconvenience of gripping and use caused by housing machining.

[0059] The concepts described herein may be implemented in other forms without departing from their spirit and characteristics. The specific embodiments disclosed should be considered illustrative rather than restrictive. Therefore, the scope of this application is determined by the appended claims, and not by the preceding description. Any changes within the literal meaning and equivalent scope of the claims should fall within the scope of those claims.
