[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3This application provides a protective case 100 and an electronic device having the same. The protective case 100 can be fitted onto a mobile phone 102 or a tablet computer to protect and support the mobile phone 102 or the tablet computer.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The protective shell 100 includes a rotating fixing ring 30, a support ring 10, and a shell body 101 with a receiving cavity. The surface of the shell body 101 facing away from the receiving cavity has a support surface 105. The support surface 105 has a rotating groove 104. The rotating fixing ring 30 is rotatably disposed within the rotating groove 104, and the plane defining the rotation trajectory of the rotating fixing ring 30 is parallel to the support surface 105. In this embodiment, the extension path of the rotating groove 104 is circular, and the shape of the rotating fixing ring 30 is also circular. The rotating fixing ring 30 is engaged in the rotating groove 104 and can rotate 360 ​​degrees within the rotating groove 104.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The edge of the support ring 10 is rotatably connected to the edge of the rotating fixing ring 30. The support ring 10 has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the support ring 10 is in the folded state, the support ring 10 is stacked on the rotating fixing ring 30. At this time, the support ring 10 does not need to provide support for the shell body 101, which is conducive to the compactness of the shell 100 structure and improves its portability.

[0029] The support ring 10 rotates relative to the support surface 105 by a predetermined angle to adjust the support angle of the support ring 10, and the support ring 10 is in the unfolded state.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the predetermined angle ranges from 0 to 180 degrees. When the support ring 10 is in a folded state, the predetermined angle is 0 degrees. The predetermined angle can also be 10 degrees, 20 degrees, 33.2 degrees, 45 degrees, 56.5 degrees, 69 degrees, 82 degrees, 90 degrees, 120 degrees, 145 degrees, or 180 degrees. There are no restrictions here, and the angle can be selected according to the actual situation. It can be understood that the predetermined angle is the angle between the ring surface on the support ring 10 and the support surface 105, and the plane determined by the rotation trajectory of the support ring 10 is perpendicular to the support surface 105.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3The protective shell 100 provided in this application embodiment rotates within the rotating groove 104 by rotating the fixed ring 30, thereby adjusting the position of the support ring 10 relative to the shell body 101 to adapt to different support positions. Furthermore, the support ring 10 rotates relative to the support surface 105 to adjust the size of a predetermined angle, so that the support ring 10 and the shell body 101 can adapt to different support surfaces. This allows the protective shell 100 to be placed on different object surfaces, thereby improving the support function of the protective shell 100.

[0032] It is understood that the cross-sectional shape of the rotating groove 104 is a dovetail groove, and the material of the shell body 101 can be plastic with a certain degree of elasticity. During the assembly process, the groove edge of the rotating groove 104 can expand, so that the edge of the rotating fixing ring 30 can be locked in the rotating groove 104, and the rotating fixing ring 30 will not come off the rotating groove 104 during rotation, thereby improving the stability of the rotating fixing ring 30.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3 Optionally, the rotating retaining ring 30 can be made of metal, such as copper or stainless steel.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the protective shell 100 further includes a hinge assembly 20, which includes a pivot support 21 connecting the rotating fixed ring 30 and a pivot hinge plate 22 connecting the bracket ring 10, wherein the pivot support 21 is rotatably connected to the pivot hinge plate 22.

[0035] Optionally, both the pivot support 21 and the pivot hinge plate 22 can be made of metal, such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, iron, or stainless steel. The rotation of the pivot hinge plate 22 relative to the pivot support 21 allows the bracket ring 10 to rotate, thereby improving ease of use.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the hinge assembly 20 further includes a rotating shaft 23, the rotating shaft support 21 has a hinge groove 211, the two ends of the rotating shaft 23 are respectively connected to the two opposite groove walls of the hinge groove 211, and the rotating shaft hinge plate 22 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 23.

[0037] Alternatively, the rotating shaft 23 can also be made of metal, such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, iron, or stainless steel. The two ends of the rotating shaft 23 can be connected to the rotating shaft support 21 by riveting or welding, for example, by laser welding, to weld the two ends of the rotating shaft 23 to the two side walls of the hinge groove 211 to improve the stability of the rotating shaft 23.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3It is understandable that the pivot hinge plate 22 has a rotating hole 222, and the rotating shaft 23 passes through the rotating hole 222. Through the cooperation between the rotating shaft 23 and the rotating hole 222, the pivot support 21 and the pivot hinge plate 22 are rotatably connected. The positioning hole 221 and the rotating shaft 23 are interference-fitted, so that there is a damping sensation during the rotation of the rotating shaft 23, and the pivot hinge plate 22 can remain stable after it has rotated to its position.

[0039] Optionally, the hinge assembly 20 also includes a baffle 25 and a reinforcing plate 24. The baffle 25 connects to the pivot support 21 and covers the pivot 23. The reinforcing plate 24 connects to the pivot hinge plate 22 and is located between the pivot hinge plate 22 and the pivot support 21 to decorate and reinforce the pivot hinge plate 22.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, positioning grooves 212 are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft support 21, and positioning notches 31 are provided for the rotating shaft support 21. Positioning parts 32 are provided at the positions corresponding to the positioning notches 31 of the rotating shaft support 21, and the two positioning parts 32 are respectively engaged in the two positioning grooves 212.

[0041] Optionally, the positioning groove 212 also has a dovetail structure, and the shape of the positioning part 32 is adapted to the shape of the positioning groove 212. By placing the rotating shaft support 21 into the positioning notch 31, and then respectively locking the two positioning parts 32 into the two positioning grooves 212, the rotating shaft support 21 and the rotating fixing ring 30 are connected as one unit. Alternatively, the size of the positioning groove 212 may be slightly smaller than the size of the positioning part 32, so that the positioning part 32 is locked in the positioning groove 212.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, positioning holes 221 are provided at both ends of the pivot hinge plate 22, and positioning posts 16 are provided on the bracket ring 10 corresponding to the positions of each positioning hole 221. Each positioning post 16 is inserted into each positioning hole 221 so that the bracket ring 10 is connected to the pivot hinge plate 22.

[0043] Please see Figure 4 Optionally, two positioning holes 221 are provided at either end of the pivot hinge plate 22, and the positioning post 16 can also be made of metal, such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, iron, or stainless steel. The positioning post 16 can be riveted into the positioning hole 221, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the pivot hinge plate 22 and the bracket ring 10.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the protective shell 100 further includes magnets 12 connecting the support ring 10. When the support ring 10 is in the folded state, the two magnets 12 are located between the support ring 10 and the rotating fixing ring 30. The magnets 12 can be static magnets, permanent magnets, or constant magnets.

[0045] Optionally, the magnet 12 extends circumferentially and is arranged in a curved manner along the bracket ring 10. When the bracket ring 10 is in a folded state, the magnet 12 can magnetically attract the shell body 101 to the iron shell, thereby achieving detachable fixation of the protective shell 100. Alternatively, the magnet 12 can magnetically connect the shell body 101 to the wireless charger, thereby enabling wireless charging of the mobile phone 102 or tablet computer.

[0046] It is also understandable that when the support ring 10 is in the unfolded state, if the material of the object used to set the support ring 10 is iron, the magnet 12 located on the support ring 10 can magnetically connect to the object, thereby improving the stability of the support ring 10 during use.

[0047] Please see Figure 4 In some embodiments, the surface of the support ring 10 is provided with a mounting groove 15, and the magnet 12 is at least partially housed in the mounting groove 15.

[0048] Understandably, the mounting groove 15 extends circumferentially along the bracket ring 10, and the protective housing 100 also includes a decorative ring 40 that connects to the bracket ring 10 and covers the mounting groove 15 to conceal the magnet 12 within the mounting groove.

[0049] Optionally, two magnets 12 are provided, and the two magnets 12 are arranged symmetrically to improve the stability of the magnetic connection between the support ring 10 and the external object.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the protective shell 100 further includes a handle block 110, which is connected to the support ring 10. The support ring 10 has a fixing notch 11, the handle block 110 is located in the fixing notch 11, and the opposite ends of the handle block 110 are respectively connected to the two side edges of the fixing notch 11.

[0051] Optionally, the handle 110 can be made of metal, such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, iron, or stainless steel. The handle 110 is connected to the support ring 10 by welding or riveting. The handle 110 has a latching groove 120. When the support ring 10 is in the folded state, the handle 110 is located in the rotating groove 104. At this time, the user can insert their finger into the latching groove 120 to move the handle 110, thereby switching the support ring 10 from the folded state to the unfolded state, improving the ease of use of the support ring 10.

[0052] Optionally, two or more hand-locking blocks 110 can be provided, with each hand-locking block 110 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the support ring 10, thereby improving the ease of use of the support ring 10.

[0053] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the protective shell 100 further includes a ball located in the rotating groove 104 and rotatably disposed thereon, and the ring surface of the rotating fixing ring 30 abuts against the ball.

[0054] Optionally, the ball bearing can be movably disposed at the bottom of the rotating groove 104, or it can be fixedly protruding from the bottom of the rotating groove 104. The rotating fixing ring 30 has a positioning recess on its surface facing the ball bearing. After the rotating fixing ring 30 rotates to its position, the ball bearing and the positioning recess cooperate, so that when the rotating fixing ring 30 rotates 360 degrees in the rotating groove 104, it has a knob-like tactile feedback, improving the user experience and rotation accuracy.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The utility model also proposes an electronic device, which includes a protective shell 100.
