[0044] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0047] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0048] With the continuous development and advancement of electronic devices, their usage scenarios have become increasingly diverse, and accessories have acquired more functions. For example, accessories can now provide support, allowing the device to be placed on a desktop or other surface for viewing, photography, and other operations. Currently, however, the thickness of electronic device accessories is quite significant, impacting the user experience.

[0049] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a support assembly that can be used in electronic device accessories. These accessories can be protective cases, support frames, power banks, wireless chargers, etc., and can be applied to electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

[0050] The following section uses a mobile phone case as an example to explain the structure of the bracket assembly in detail.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, the electronic device accessory 100 includes an accessory body 20, such as a housing, into which a mobile phone (not shown) can be housed. The accessory body 20 has a third mounting groove 21 along its thickness direction Z, and the bracket assembly 10 is mounted in the third mounting groove 21.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly 10 may include a base 11, a support 12, and a connecting mechanism 13. Please also refer to... Figure 1 The base 11 can be installed in the third mounting slot 21 of the accessory body 20, and the base 11 has a first receiving space 111. The bracket 12 has a supported state and a stored state, and the bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the base 11 via a connecting mechanism 13 so that the bracket 12 can switch between the supported state and the stored state.

[0053] The bracket 12 can be annular in shape; specifically, the annulus can be closed or open. The base 11 can correspond to the shape of the bracket 12 or be annular. The third mounting groove 21 on the accessory body 20 for mounting the base 11 corresponds to the shape of the base 11 and can be an annular groove.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, when the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, the bracket 12 overlaps the base 11, making the bracket 12 and the base 11 approximately parallel. Please refer to [the diagram / reference needed]. Figure 2 At this time, at least a portion of the structure of the connecting mechanism 13 is housed in the first housing space 111, that is, a portion of the structure of the connecting mechanism 13 can be housed in the first housing space 111, or the entire structure of the connecting mechanism 13 can be housed in the first housing space 111.

[0055] The base 11 provides space for the connecting mechanism 13, reducing the possibility that the connecting mechanism 13 will occupy additional space between the bracket 12 and the base 11 for storage, saving internal space of the bracket assembly 10, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10, and consequently reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device accessory 100.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, when the bracket 12 is in the supported state, the bracket 12 can be rotated away from the base 11 via the connecting mechanism 13, so that the bracket 12 and the accessory body 20 ( Figure 1 The bracket 12 forms a certain angle with the accessory body 20 as shown, so that the bracket 12 supports the accessory body 20.

[0057] As mentioned above, the bracket assembly 10 can be installed in the third mounting slot 21 of the accessory body 20. Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the bracket 12 can be accommodated in the third mounting slot 21. When the bracket 12 is removed from...Figure 3 Switching to storage mode Figure 4 When the bracket 12 is in the supported state, its end is prone to interference with the side wall of the third mounting groove 21 during rotation, which causes the rotation of the bracket 12 to be blocked and unable to open to the angle required by the user, thus affecting the normal use of the bracket assembly 10.

[0058] The connecting mechanism 13 in this embodiment has a linkage 131, which solves the interference problem that occurs during the rotation of the bracket 12.

[0059] Please also refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 One end of the linkage 131 is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bracket 12. When the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, it overlaps the base 11, and the bracket 12, linkage 131, and base 11 are approximately parallel. When the bracket 12 switches from the retracted state to the supported state, the connection point between the bracket 12 and the linkage 131 can be considered as the rotation center of the bracket 12. The bracket 12 can rotate around this rotation center in a direction away from the base 11 to increase the angle between the bracket 12 and the base 11. The connection point between the linkage 131 and the base 11 can be regarded as the rotation center of the linkage 131. As the bracket 12 rotates, the linkage 131 can rotate around this rotation center in a direction away from the base 11. That is, the angle between the linkage 131 and the base 11 gradually increases, thereby driving the bracket 12 to move away from the base 11, increasing the distance between the bracket 12 and the base 11 in the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10, that is, raising the rotation center position of the bracket 12. At the same time, the bracket 12 can also be displaced in the first direction X, that is, the rotation center of the bracket 12 is offset along the first direction X, and the first direction X is orthogonal to the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10.

[0060] As the bracket 12 rotates from its retracted state to its supported state, the linkage 131 causes the bracket 12 to move away from the side wall of the third mounting groove 21. This movement can be along the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10 or a first direction X orthogonal to the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10, thereby reducing the impact between the bracket 12 and the third mounting groove 21 during rotation. Figure 1 The possibility of interference with the sidewalls (as shown) is reduced. Simultaneously, because the linkage 131 raises the position of the bracket 12, it increases the distance between the bracket 12 and the base 11 in the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10, thereby reducing the possibility of interference between the bracket 12 and the base 11 during rotation. This design removes restrictions on the rotation of the bracket 12, increases its rotation angle, and allows the bracket assembly 10 to meet user needs, improving the user experience.

[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting structure 112 is provided within the first receiving space 111, and the limiting structure 112 has a limiting space 1121. Combined with... Figure 5 As shown, when the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, part of the structure of the linkage 131 is housed in the limiting space 1121. The limiting space 1121 limits the linkage 131 to improve the stability of the linkage 131 during installation in the retracted state and reduce the possibility of the linkage 131 shaking. At the same time, the limiting space 1121 also provides more space for the linkage 131 to be housed, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10.

[0062] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, the limiting structure 112 may include two limiting portions 1122, which protrude inward from opposite sidewalls of the first receiving space 111, forming a limiting space 1121. The limiting portions 1122 extend along a second direction Y, which is orthogonal to the first direction X and the thickness direction Z of the support assembly 10. The two limiting portions 1122 are arranged opposite to each other, and the limiting space 1121 is located between them. When a portion of the linkage member 131 is housed within the limiting space 1121, the two limiting portions 1122 are located on either side of the linkage member 131, restricting movement of the linkage member 131 in the second direction Y, thereby improving the stability of the linkage member 131.

[0063] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one possible implementation, the linkage 131 includes a main body 1311. When the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, the main body 1311 is housed in the limiting space 1121. The limiting portions 1122 on both sides of the limiting space 1121 are used to abut against the main body 1311 to limit the position of the linkage 131, reduce the possibility of the linkage 131 shaking, and thus improve the stability of the linkage 131.

[0064] The linkage 131 can be formed by connecting multiple sub-linkages 1314. These sub-linkages 1314 are arranged side-by-side along the second direction Y, with adjacent sub-linkages 1314 abutting against each other and fixedly connected to improve the overall structural strength of the linkage 131 and reduce the possibility of deformation. Specifically, adjacent sub-linkages 1314 can be welded together to improve the stability of the connection between them and reduce the possibility of misalignment during the rotation of the bracket 12.

[0065] The thickness of each sub-linkage component 1314 is the same to simplify the structure of the linkage component 131 and facilitate the processing and forming of the linkage component 131.

[0066] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one possible implementation, the first receiving space 111 includes a first receiving space 1111, which extends along the thickness direction Z of the support assembly 10. The first receiving space 1111 is located on one side of the limiting space 1121 and communicates with it. The connecting mechanism 13 has a first shaft 132, at least a portion of which is received in the first receiving space 1111; that is, a portion of the structure of the first shaft 132 can be received in the first receiving space 1111, or the entire structure of the first shaft 132 can be received in the first receiving space 1111.

[0067] The linkage 131 includes a first sleeve portion 1312 connected to one end of the main body 1311. The first sleeve portion 1312 is sleeved on the first shaft 132, so that the linkage 131 is rotatably connected to the base 11 through the first shaft 132. That is, the first shaft 132 can be regarded as the rotation center of the linkage 131. Figure 4 As shown, when the bracket 12 switches from the storage state to the support state, the linkage 131 can rotate around the first axis 132 in a direction away from the base 11, so that the angle between the linkage 131 and the base 11 gradually increases, thereby driving the bracket 12 to move away from the base 11.

[0068] At least a portion of the structure of the first socket 1312 is accommodated in the first receiving space 1111. That is, a portion of the structure of the first socket 1312 can be accommodated in the first receiving space 1111, or the entire structure of the first socket 1312 can be accommodated in the first receiving space 1111. The first receiving space 1111 provides space for accommodating the first shaft 132 and the first socket 1312 of the linkage 131, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10, and thus reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device accessory 100, improving the user experience.

[0069] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one possible implementation, the first receiving space 111 further includes a second receiving space 1112. The second receiving space 1112 can extend along the thickness direction Z of the support assembly 10. The second receiving space 1112 is located on the side of the limiting space 1121 away from the first receiving space 1111 and communicates with the limiting space 1121. Specifically, the first receiving space 1111 and the second receiving space 1112 can be respectively disposed on both sides of the limiting space 1121 along the first direction X.

[0070] The connecting mechanism 13 further includes a second shaft 133, and the linkage 131 further includes a second sleeve 1313 connected to the end of the main body 1311 away from the first sleeve 1312. The second sleeve 1313 is sleeved on the second shaft 133 so that the linkage 131 and the bracket 12 are rotatably connected through the second shaft 133. When the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, at least a portion of the structure of the second sleeve 1313 is received in the second receiving space 1112, that is, a portion of the structure of the second sleeve 1313 can be received in the second receiving space 1112, or the entire structure of the second sleeve 1313 can be received in the second receiving space 1112. When the bracket 12 rotates from the storage state to the support state, the linkage 131 is used to drive the second shaft 133 to move when rotating around the first shaft 132. Specifically, as the first socket 1312 rotates around the first shaft 132, the second socket 1313 moves away from the base 11, thereby moving the second shaft 133 away from the base 11 and increasing the distance between the bracket 12 and the base 11 in the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10.

[0071] The second shaft 133 can be regarded as the rotation center of the support 12, combined with Figure 4 As shown, when the bracket 12 switches from the retracted state to the supported state, the bracket 12 can rotate around the second axis 133 in a direction away from the base 11, thereby increasing the angle between the bracket 12 and the base 11, so that the bracket 12 can support the electronic device (not shown in the figure) to meet the user's needs. When the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, at least a portion of the structure of the second axis 133 is housed in the second receiving space 1112, that is, a portion of the structure of the second axis 133 can be housed in the second receiving space 1112, or the entire structure of the second axis 133 can be housed in the second receiving space 1112.

[0072] The second accommodating space 1112 provides space for accommodating the second shaft 133 and the second socket 1313 of the linkage 131, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10 and thus reducing the overall thickness of the electronic device accessory 100, and improving the user experience.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the limiting space 1121, the first accommodating space 1111 and the second accommodating space 1112 all penetrate the base 11 along the thickness direction of the base 11, thereby providing more sufficient storage space for the connecting mechanism 13 and further reducing the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10.

[0074] like Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in one possible implementation, the first receiving space 111 further includes a first mounting groove 1113 disposed on the side of the base 11 opposite to the bracket 12. The first mounting groove 1113 communicates with the first receiving space 1111, the second receiving space 1112, and the limiting space 1121, respectively. The first mounting groove 1113 may extend along the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10. The limiting structure 112 can be regarded as the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 1113.

[0075] The connecting mechanism 13 further includes a first connecting member 134, which is fixedly connected to the base 11. The first connecting member 134 includes a first fixing part 1341 and a first bushing part 1342 connected to one end of the first fixing part 1341, with the first shaft 132 passing through the first bushing part 1342. Please also refer to... Figure 6 The first connecting member 134 and the linkage member 131 are rotatably connected via the first shaft 132. The first bushing portion 1342 has a first notch 13421, which is used to avoid the first sleeve portion 1312 of the linkage member 131 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 (As shown), this reduces the possibility of interference between the linkage 131 and the first connecting member 134.

[0076] The first fixing part 1341 is received in the first mounting groove 1113, and at least a part of the structure of the first bushing part 1342 is received in the first receiving space 1111. That is, a part of the structure of the first bushing part 1342 can be received in the first receiving space 1111, or the entire structure of the first bushing part 1342 can be received in the first receiving space 1111.

[0077] The first connector 134 improves the stability and reliability of the first shaft 132 on the base 11, ensuring the normal and stable rotation of the linkage 131, thereby improving the reliability of the entire bracket assembly 10's movement. The first mounting groove 1113 and the first receiving space 1111 provide receiving space for the first fixing part 1341 and the first bushing part 1342 of the first connector 134, respectively, to reduce the thickness of the bracket assembly 10.

[0078] like Figure 7 to Figure 9 As shown, in one possible implementation, the first fixing part 1341 has at least one first mounting hole 13411. The first mounting hole 13411 includes a first hole segment 13411a and a second hole segment 13411b that are interconnected. The diameter of the first hole segment 13411a gradually increases in the direction away from the second hole segment 13411b, that is, the first hole segment 13411a has an inclined hole wall.

[0079] Simultaneously combined Figure 2As shown, at least one first mounting portion 113 is provided in the first mounting groove 1113. Specifically, the first mounting portion 113 may be provided on the aforementioned limiting portion 1122. The first mounting portion 113 protrudes in a direction away from the bracket 12 and passes through the first hole section 13411a and the second hole section 13411b.

[0080] The first mounting portion 113 can be a cylindrical protrusion. The first connector 134 is fixedly connected to the first mounting portion 113 through the first mounting hole 13411, thereby fixing the first connector 134 and the base 11 together, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the first connector 134 and the base 11 and reduce the possibility of them separating from each other.

[0081] The first mounting portion 113 can deform under the action of external force. The diameter of the first hole segment 13411a gradually increases in the direction away from the second hole segment 13411b. That is, the hole wall of the first hole segment 13411a is inclined in the direction away from the first mounting portion 113, thereby providing space for the deformation of the first mounting portion 113. After deformation, the diameter of the end of the first mounting portion 113 increases and can be filled in the first hole segment 13411a, so that the first mounting portion 113 is fixed in the first mounting hole 13411 and cannot be detached. This makes the connection between the first connector 134 and the base 11 more stable and reliable, thereby improving the overall reliability of the bracket assembly 10.

[0082] The first mounting part 113 has a first mating hole 1131. The first mating hole 1131 makes the first mounting part 113 more likely to deform under external force, so as to achieve a stable connection between the first connector 134 and the base 11.

[0083] In some embodiments, the first fixing part 1341 may have a plurality of first mounting holes 13411, and the plurality of first mounting holes 13411 may be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first connector 134. Correspondingly, the base 11 is provided with a plurality of first mounting parts 113, and the first mounting holes 13411 cooperate with the corresponding first mounting parts 113.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first connector may be covered with a first protective element. Specifically, the first protective element may be a Mylar sheet. The first protective element serves to cushion, decorate, and protect the first connector, thereby helping to extend the service life of the first connector.

[0085] like Figure 10As shown, in one possible embodiment, the connecting mechanism 13 further includes a second connecting member 135, which is fixedly connected to the bracket 12. The second connecting member 135 includes a second fixing part 1351 and a second bushing part 1352 connected to one end of the second fixing part 1351. The second bushing part 1352 is sleeved on the second shaft body 133. Please also refer to... Figure 6 The second connecting member 135 and the linkage member 131 are rotatably connected via the second shaft 133. The second bushing portion 1352 has a second notch 13521, which is used to avoid the second sleeve portion 1313 of the linkage member 131 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown, this reduces the possibility of interference between the linkage 131 and the second connector 135. The second connector 135 helps improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the bracket 12 and the second shaft 133, thereby improving the reliability of the movement of the entire bracket assembly 10.

[0086] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in one possible implementation, the support 12 has a second receiving space 121. When the support 12 is in the retracted state, the second receiving space 121 communicates with the first receiving space 111 of the base 11 to form a receiving cavity, in which the connecting mechanism 13 is received. Part of the space of the receiving cavity is provided by the support 12 and the other part is provided by the base 11, so that the thickness of both the support 12 and the base 11 can be designed to be small, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the support assembly 10.

[0087] When the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, it overlaps the base 11 and covers the connecting mechanism 13. That is, along the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10, the projection of the connecting mechanism 13 is located within the projection of the bracket 12, thus hiding the connecting mechanism 13 inside the bracket assembly 10. This prevents the connecting mechanism 13 from being exposed outside the bracket assembly 10, which could cause wear or dust accumulation, thereby improving the service life of the connecting mechanism 13. At the same time, since the material and color of the connecting mechanism 13 are significantly different from those of the bracket 12, the above design improves the consistency of the appearance of the bracket assembly 10 in the retracted state, thereby improving the aesthetics of the entire electronic device accessory 100 and enhancing the user experience.

[0088] The receiving cavity includes a first cavity and a second cavity, both of which communicate with the aforementioned limiting space. When the bracket is in the retracted state, the first shaft, the first sleeve portion of the linkage, and the first bushing portion of the first connector are housed within the first cavity. The second shaft, the second sleeve portion of the linkage, and the second bushing portion of the second connector are housed within the second cavity.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 12 to Figure 14As shown, the second receiving space 121 includes a first receiving groove 1211. When the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, the first receiving groove 1211 and the first receiving space 1111 communicate to form the aforementioned first cavity. A portion of the structure of the first bushing portion 1342 is received in the first receiving space 1111, and another portion is received in the first receiving groove 1211. A portion of the structure of the first socket portion 1312 is received in the first receiving space 1111, and another portion is received in the first receiving groove 1211. The first shaft 132 is respectively inserted into the first bushing portion 1342 and the first socket portion 1312. Alternatively, the first shaft 132 may also have a portion of its structure received in the first receiving space 1111 and another portion received in the first receiving groove 1211.

[0090] The aforementioned first cavity can provide accommodating space for the first bushing portion 1342 of the first connector 134, the first sleeve portion 1312 of the linkage 131, and the first shaft 132, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10 and thus reduce the overall thickness of the electronic device accessory 100.

[0091] The second receiving space 121 also includes a second receiving groove 1212. When the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, the second receiving groove 1212 and the second receiving space 1112 communicate to form the aforementioned second cavity. A portion of the structure of the second bushing portion 1352 is received in the second receiving groove 1212, and another portion is received in the second receiving space 1112. A portion of the structure of the second socket portion 1313 is received in the second receiving groove 1212, and another portion is received in the second receiving space 1112. The second shaft 133 is respectively inserted into the second bushing portion 1352 and the second socket portion 1313. Alternatively, the second shaft 133 may also have a portion of its structure received in the second receiving space 1112 and another portion received in the second receiving groove 1212.

[0092] The aforementioned second cavity can provide accommodating space for the second bushing portion 1352 of the second connector 135, the second sleeve portion 1313 of the linkage 131, and the second shaft 133, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10 and thus reduce the overall thickness of the electronic device accessory 100.

[0093] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 14 As shown, the bracket 12 has a second mounting groove 1213, which is connected to the first cavity and the second cavity mentioned above. Specifically, the second mounting groove 1213 is connected to the first receiving groove 1211 and the second receiving groove 1212 respectively, and the second fixing part 1351 is received in the second mounting groove 1213.

[0094] Along the thickness direction of the bracket 12, the depths of the first receiving groove 1211 and the second receiving groove 1212 are both greater than the depth of the second mounting groove 1213. By increasing the depth of the first receiving groove 1211, the first receiving groove 1211 can provide sufficient receiving space for the first bushing portion 1342 of the first connector 134, the first sleeve portion 1312 of the linkage 131, and the first shaft 132. By increasing the depth of the second receiving groove 1212, the second receiving groove 1212 can provide sufficient receiving space for the second bushing portion 1352 of the second connector 135, the second sleeve portion 1313 of the linkage 131, and the second shaft 133.

[0095] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, in one possible implementation, the second mounting slot 1213 is provided with at least one second mounting portion 122, the second mounting portion 122 facing towards the base 11 ( Figure 11 The second mounting portion 122 protrudes in the direction shown. Specifically, the second mounting portion 122 can be a cylindrical protrusion. The second fixing portion 1351 has at least one second mounting hole 13511. The second connector 135 is fixedly connected to the second mounting portion 122 through the second mounting hole 13511, thereby fixing the second connector 135 and the bracket 12 together, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the second connector 135 and the bracket 12 and reduce the possibility of them detaching from each other.

[0096] The second mounting hole 13511 includes a third hole segment 13511a and a fourth hole segment 13511b that are interconnected. The diameter of the third hole segment 13511a gradually increases in the direction away from the fourth hole segment 13511b, meaning that the third hole segment 13511a has an inclined hole wall. Please also refer to... Figure 10 The second mounting part 122 is inserted into the third hole section 13511a and the fourth hole section 13511b.

[0097] When the second connector 135 is installed, the second mounting portion 122 will deform under the action of external force. The diameter of the third hole segment 13511a gradually increases in the direction away from the fourth hole segment 13511b. That is, the hole wall of the third hole segment 13511a is inclined in the direction away from the second mounting portion 122, thereby providing space for the deformation of the second mounting portion 122. After the end of the second mounting portion 122 is deformed, the diameter increases and it can fill the third hole segment 13511a, so that the second mounting portion 122 is fixed in the second mounting hole 13511 and cannot be detached. This makes the connection between the second connector 135 and the bracket 12 more stable and reliable, thereby improving the overall reliability of the bracket assembly 10.

[0098] The second mounting part 122 is provided with a second mating hole 1221. The second mating hole 1221 makes the second mounting part 122 more likely to deform under the action of external force, so as to achieve a stable connection between the second connector 135 and the bracket 12.

[0099] In some embodiments, there may be multiple second mounting holes 13511, and the multiple second mounting holes 13511 may be arranged along the length direction of the second connector 135. Correspondingly, the bracket 12 is provided with multiple second mounting portions 122, and the second mounting holes 13511 cooperate with the corresponding second mounting portions 122.

[0100] like Figure 16 As shown, in one possible implementation, the first mounting hole 13411 and the second mounting hole 13511 are misaligned. That is, the fasteners (not shown in the figure) for fixing the first connector 134 and the fasteners (not shown in the figure) for fixing the second connector 135 in the bracket assembly 10 are misaligned, which reduces the possibility of the two fasteners interfering with each other when the bracket 12 is in the retracted state.

[0101] Continue as Figure 16 As shown, when the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, the first connector 134 can be stacked on the second connector 135 along the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10. The main body 1311 of the linkage 131 is located between the first connector 134 and the second connector 135. The first connector 134, the second connector 135 and the main body 1311 of the linkage 131 can be approximately parallel to each other to save the space occupied by the connecting mechanism 13 in the thickness direction Z of the bracket assembly 10, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the bracket assembly 10.

[0102] In some embodiments, the second connector may be covered with a second protective element. Specifically, the second protective element may be a Mylar sheet. The second protective element serves to cushion, decorate, and protect the second connector, thereby helping to extend the service life of the first connector.

[0103] like Figure 17 As shown, this application embodiment also provides an electronic device accessory 100, including the accessory body 20 and the bracket assembly 10 described above. As mentioned above, the accessory body 20 has a third mounting groove 21 for mounting the base 11. For example... Figure 18As shown, when the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, it is housed within the third mounting slot 21. The outer surface of the bracket 12 is flush with the outer surface of the accessory body 20 along the thickness direction Z of the electronic device accessory 100. This means the bracket 12 does not protrude from the accessory body 20, reducing the possibility of collisions or wear between the bracket 12 and the external environment, thereby extending its service life. Furthermore, this design allows the accessory body 20 to have a relatively flat outer surface when the bracket 12 is in the retracted state, thus improving the user experience. Figure 19 As shown, when the bracket 12 is in the supported state, the bracket 12 can be rotated away from the base 11 by the connecting mechanism 13, so that the bracket 12 and the accessory body 20 form a certain angle, thereby the bracket 12 supports the accessory body 20.

[0104] like Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 11 can be rotatably mounted in the third mounting slot 21, that is, the base 11 can rotate relative to the accessory body 20 along the circumference of the accessory body 20, so that the user can adjust the position of the bracket 12, so that the bracket 12 can provide multi-directional and multi-angle support, thereby meeting different user needs. An elastic element 14 is provided on the outer side of the base 11, and the base 11 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the third mounting slot 21 through the elastic element 14.

[0105] In other embodiments, the base 11 may be fixed in the third mounting slot 21.

[0106] This application embodiment also provides an electronic device accessory 100, including the accessory body 20 and the bracket 12 described above. The bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the accessory body 20 via the connecting mechanism 13 described above, and the first receiving space 111 is disposed on the accessory body 20.

[0107] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
