Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device housing technology, and more specifically to an electronic device housing with a variable pattern. Background Technology

[0002] MagSafe technology for iPhone redefines the way phone accessories connect. By integrating a set of magnets and precision alignment sensors inside the device, it perfectly aligns with the magnets built into MagSafe accessories, ensuring that accessories can quickly, automatically align and firmly attach. Whether it's a MagSafe charger, protective case, or wallet holder, they can all achieve a stable connection through magnetic technology, while optimizing wireless charging alignment, improving charging efficiency and user experience, and adding more convenience and possibilities to the iPhone ecosystem.

[0003] Electronic device casings are decorative items used to protect or decorate the appearance of electronic devices. They also provide protection against drops, scratches, water, and shocks. However, currently available electronic device casings have fixed designs and limited functions, failing to meet diverse user aesthetic needs and compatibility with other expansion accessories. Furthermore, the obstruction caused by the casing weakens the attraction between the electronic device and the wireless charging pad, leading to the device slipping, inaccurate positioning, and affecting charging.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, related technologies incorporate both a magnetic connector and an e-ink screen on the electronic device's casing. The e-ink screen allows for pattern changes, while the magnetic connector can hold a mobile phone to a magnetic charging dock or accessories such as a magnetic card holder to the electronic device. However, because the magnetic connector and e-ink screen are located on the same casing and are too close together, the magnetism of the magnetic connector can affect the e-ink screen's display quality, or even prevent the e-ink screen from displaying properly. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an electronic device housing with interchangeable patterns, which allows for pattern changes without replacing the housing. In addition, a single-sided magnetic attachment is provided on the housing, which increases compatibility with various expansion accessories, facilitates the fixing of electronic devices, achieves precise positioning, improves charging efficiency, and ensures normal display of the e-ink screen.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides an electronic device housing, comprising: an electronic device housing body, including a receiving cavity for accommodating an electronic device; a display window on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, and a magnetic groove surrounding the display window on the bottom wall; an e-ink screen disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, with the display area of ​​the e-ink screen located in the display window for displaying patterns; a single-sided magnetic accommodating member disposed in the magnetic groove, with the magnetic side of the single-sided magnetic accommodating member facing away from the receiving cavity, and the single-sided magnetic accommodating member for engaging with a magnetic accessory of a mating substrate; a circuit board disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, the circuit board being electrically connected to the e-ink screen for controlling the e-ink screen displaying patterns; and an NFC receiving coil disposed on the bottom wall and electrically connected to the circuit board, the NFC receiving coil being capable of receiving NFC magnetic field signals from the smart terminal of the electronic device and transmitting the generated electrical signals to the circuit board.

[0007] In one embodiment, the display window is circular, and the display area of ​​the e-ink screen is located within the display window.

[0008] In one embodiment, the magnetic slot is circular in shape.

[0009] In one embodiment, the magnetic groove protrudes from the bottom wall toward the side opposite to the receiving cavity.

[0010] In one embodiment, a transparent element is also included, which is disposed in the display window and located on the side of the ink screen away from the receiving cavity.

[0011] In one embodiment, a spacer is also included, which covers the bottom wall to separate the electronic device from the e-ink screen, magnetic connector, circuit board, and NFC receiving coil.

[0012] A second aspect of this application provides a pattern-changeable electronic device housing, comprising: an electronic device housing body including a receiving cavity for accommodating an electronic device; a display window on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity; an e-ink screen disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, with the display area of ​​the e-ink screen located within the display window for displaying a pattern; a circuit board disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, electrically connected to the e-ink screen for controlling the e-ink screen to display the pattern; and an NFC receiving coil disposed on the bottom wall and electrically connected to the circuit board, the NFC receiving coil being capable of receiving NFC magnetic field signals from the smart terminal of the electronic device and transmitting the generated electrical signals to the circuit board.

[0013] In one embodiment, the display window is circular, and the display area of ​​the e-ink screen is located within the display window.

[0014] In one embodiment, a single-sided magnetic chuck is further included. The single-sided magnetic chuck is disposed on the bottom wall and surrounds the outer periphery of the display window. The magnetic side of the single-sided magnetic chuck is disposed away from the receiving cavity and is used to attract the magnetic accessories of the mating substrate.

[0015] This application provides a pattern-changeable electronic device housing, including an electronic device housing body, an e-ink screen, a single-sided magnetic connector, a circuit board, and an NFC receiving coil. By setting an e-ink screen on the electronic device housing and using the NFC receiving coil for data transmission, the pattern on the electronic device housing can be changed. Furthermore, by setting a single-sided magnetic connector on the electronic device housing body, compatibility with various expansion accessories can be increased. For example, it can easily fix the electronic device, prevent the electronic device from sliding, improve positioning accuracy, and improve charging efficiency. And because the magnetic side of the single-sided magnetic connector is positioned away from the receiving cavity, the magnetism of the single-sided magnetic connector will not affect or damage the display effect of the e-ink screen.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides an electronic device housing 100 with a changeable pattern, including an electronic device housing body 110, an e-ink screen 120, a single-sided magnetic clasp 130, a circuit board 140, and an NFC receiving coil (not shown).

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1-2 The electronic device housing 110 includes a receiving cavity 111 for accommodating the electronic device. A display window 112 is located on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 111, and a magnetic groove 113 surrounds the display window 112 on the bottom wall. An e-ink screen 120 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 111, and its display area is located within the display window 112 for displaying patterns. A single-sided magnetic accommodator 130 is disposed within the magnetic groove 113, with its magnetic side facing away from the receiving cavity 111. The single-sided magnetic accommodator 130 is used to engage with a magnetic accessory of a mating substrate. A circuit board 140 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 111 and is electrically connected to the e-ink screen 120 for controlling the display patterns on the e-ink screen 120. An NFC receiving coil is disposed on the bottom wall and electrically connected to the circuit board 140. The NFC receiving coil can receive NFC magnetic field signals from the electronic device's smart terminal and transmit the generated electrical signals to the circuit board 140.

[0027] This embodiment achieves pattern changes on the electronic device casing 100 by setting an e-ink screen 120 on the electronic device casing 100 and transmitting patterns between the electronic device smart terminal and the e-ink screen 120 via an NFC receiving coil. Compared to existing LCD and LED displays, the e-ink screen 120 has low power consumption, requiring power only during pattern changes. Furthermore, since the NFC receiving coil generates electricity when receiving the NFC magnetic field signal from the smart terminal, this electricity can be transmitted to the circuit board 140 and the e-ink screen 120, eliminating the need for a separate battery or USB interface, thus minimizing the weight of the electronic device casing 100. Additionally, the single-sided magnetic component 130 on the electronic device casing 100 further expands its compatibility with various substrates, such as magnetic plates, magnetic brackets, magnetic card holders, and magnetic wireless charging devices. For example, during magnetic wireless charging, precise positioning of the electronic device can be achieved, improving charging efficiency without affecting the display effect of the e-ink screen 120.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 2 The display window 112 is circular, and the display area of ​​the e-ink screen 120 is located within the display window 112. In other embodiments, the display window 112 may also be of other shapes.

[0029] Setting the display window 112 to a circle can make the electronic device casing 100 more aesthetically pleasing. The shape of the e-ink screen 120 is not specifically limited; it can be circular, square, or any other shape.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 The magnetic groove 113 is circular in shape.

[0031] Similarly, setting the shape of the magnetic slot 113 to be circular, in conjunction with the shape of the display window 112, can also make the electronic device casing 100 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 2 The magnetic suction groove 113 is provided to protrude from the bottom wall toward the side opposite to the receiving cavity 111.

[0033] By making the magnetic groove 113 protrude from the bottom wall toward the side opposite to the receiving cavity 111, the space of the receiving cavity 111 can be reduced, and the thickness of the electronic device housing 100 can be reduced. Moreover, compared to setting the single-sided magnetic member 130 in the receiving cavity 111, the magnetic groove 113 protruding toward the side opposite to the receiving cavity 111 can improve the attraction force of the single-sided magnetic member 130 to the matching magnetic accessories.

[0034] Specifically, the single-sided magnetic component 130 is a single-sided magnet. That is, one side of the single-sided magnet is magnetic, and the other side is not magnetic. In other embodiments, one side of the single-sided magnet may be strongly magnetic, and the other side may be weakly magnetic. The effect of weak magnetism on the display effect of the e-ink screen is negligible.

[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The electronic device housing 100 also includes a transparent element 150, which is disposed in the display window 112 and located on the side of the e-ink screen 120 away from the receiving cavity 111.

[0036] The transparent element 150 protects the e-ink screen 120 from scratches. The transparent element 150 may be made of materials including, but not limited to, plastic.

[0037] The electronic device housing 100 also includes a spacer (not shown) covering the bottom wall to separate the electronic device from the e-ink screen 120, the one-sided magnetic clasp 130, the circuit board 140, and the NFC receiving coil.

[0038] Because the back of electronic devices is easily scratched, and the e-ink screen 120, single-sided magnetic connector 130, circuit board 140, or NFC receiving coil all contain hard materials, covering the bottom wall with spacers can protect the electronic devices from scratches.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 The bottom wall is also provided with a lens through hole 160, which is used to place the rear lens of the mobile phone.

[0040] In this embodiment, the electronic device is a mobile phone; in other embodiments, the electronic device may also be an iPad.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides an electronic device housing 100, including an electronic device housing body 110, an e-ink screen 120, a circuit board 140, and an NFC receiving coil (not shown).

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1-2The electronic device housing 110 includes a receiving cavity 111 for accommodating the electronic device; a display window 112 is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity. An e-ink screen 120 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity, and the display area of ​​the e-ink screen 120 is located in the display window 112 for displaying patterns. A circuit board 140 is disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 111 and is electrically connected to the e-ink screen 120 for controlling the display of patterns on the e-ink screen 120. An NFC receiving coil is disposed on the bottom wall and electrically connected to the circuit board 140. The NFC receiving coil can receive the NFC magnetic field signal of the electronic device's smart terminal and transmit the generated electrical signal to the circuit board 140.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 The display window 112 is circular, and the display area of ​​the e-ink screen 120 is located in the display window 112.

[0045] Setting the display window 112 to a circle can make the electronic device casing 100 more aesthetically pleasing. The shape of the e-ink screen 120 is not specifically limited; it can be circular, square, or any other shape.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 The electronic device housing 100 also includes a transparent element 150, which is disposed in the display window 112 and located on the side of the e-ink screen 120 away from the receiving cavity 111.

[0047] The transparent element 150 protects the e-ink screen 120 from scratches. The transparent element 150 may be made of materials including, but not limited to, plastic.

[0048] The electronic device housing 100 also includes a spacer (not shown) that covers the bottom wall to separate the electronic device from the e-ink screen 120, the circuit board 140 and the NFC receiving coil.

[0049] Because the back of electronic devices is easily scratched, and the e-ink screen 120, single-sided magnetic connector 130, circuit board 140, or NFC receiving coil all contain hard materials, covering the bottom wall with spacers can protect the electronic devices from scratches.

[0050] The electronic device housing 100 also includes a single-sided magnetic clasp 130, which is disposed on the bottom wall and surrounds the outer periphery of the display window 112. The magnetic side of the single-sided magnetic clasp 130 is disposed away from the receiving cavity 111 and is used to attract with the magnetic accessories of the mating substrate. In this embodiment, the single-sided magnetic clasp 130 may be disposed on the inner side of the bottom wall.

[0051] In this embodiment, the electronic device is a mobile phone; in other embodiments, the electronic device may also be an iPad.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 The bottom wall is also provided with a lens through hole 160, which is used to place the rear lens of the mobile phone.
