Detailed Implementation
[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0029] refer to Figures 1 to 13 :
[0030] This embodiment discloses a phone case with a DIY replaceable back panel 1 and corner pieces 3, including a phone case body 10A. The phone case body 10A has a separately configured back panel 1 and side frame 2, and also includes corner pieces 3. The four corners of the side frame 2 extend outward to form functional corners 201, and each of the four functional corners 201 has an assembly groove 21 on its inner side. These functional corners 201 have multiple functions. Since the phone case itself is mostly made of plastic, the outward extension or protrusion of the four functional corners 201 can provide a shock-absorbing function when the phone is dropped. In addition, the outward protrusion of the four functional corners 201 forms the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the phone case. The inward-curving structure on both sides makes the phone case easier to grip, thus preventing it from falling. This is called the functional corner 201. Specifically, the corner piece 3 is detachably assembled with the side frame 2 via the mounting groove 21. Here, the installation of the corner piece 3 and the mounting groove 21 preferably adopts an insert structure for disassembly and assembly. One side of the side frame 2 is provided with an annular insert groove 202. The back panel 1 is inserted into the annular insert groove 202 and is pressed and limited by the corner piece 3. With this setting, the back panel 1 can be disassembled separately. If it is necessary to disassemble the back panel 1, it is only necessary to first remove the four corner pieces 3, replace the back panel 1, and then install the four corner pieces 3.
[0031] Specifically, the corner piece 3 includes a recessed portion 31 and an outer portion 32, wherein the length and width diameters of the recessed portion 31 are larger than those of the outer portion 32 to ensure that the corner piece 3 will not come outward. The assembly groove 21 includes an inner assembly groove 211 and an outer assembly groove 212 that are interconnected. The inner assembly groove 211 is located on the inner sidewall of the side frame 2, and the outer assembly groove 212 is located outside the inner assembly groove 211. The length and width diameters of the inner assembly groove 211 are larger than those of the outer assembly groove 212. The recessed portion 31 and the inner assembly groove 211 are mutually fitted together. A portion of the outer portion 32... The back plate 1 is partially exposed within the assembly groove 212 and is pressed and limited by the lower end face of the insert 31. Specifically, the four corners of the back plate 1 are pressed and limited by the lower end face of the insert 31. In practice, it is preferable to form the annular insert groove 202 by a downward recess, so that after the back plate 1 is inserted, the upper end face of the back plate 1 is still lower than or equal to the position of the insert 31 after installation. In another preferred embodiment, the rounded corners of the back plate 1 and the corner piece 3 are differentiated, i.e., the rounded corner of the back plate 1 is smaller than that of the corner piece 3. Alternatively, the four corners of the back plate 1 can be limited. Other optional embodiments can be referenced. Figure 6 The back panel 1 also has an annular groove at its edge, which fits perfectly with the annular insert groove 202. This ensures that the back panel 1 is flush with the end face of the side frame 2 both before and after it is installed in the side frame 2.
[0032] Specifically, in order to enable the back plate 1 to be installed and positioned more quickly during installation and to prevent displacement after successful installation, the annular recess 202 is provided with a positioning groove 202a, and the back plate 1 is provided with a positioning block 101 at the position corresponding to the positioning groove 202a. When the back plate 1 is installed with the annular recess 202, it is precisely positioned and installed by means of the positioning block 101 and the positioning plate.
[0033] Specifically, it also includes locking and positioning components, which include locking slots 41 and locking blocks 42. Locking slots 41 are provided on the left and right sides of the assembly inner groove 211, and locking blocks 42 are provided on the outer side of the insert part 31 corresponding to the locking slots 41. The locking slots 41 and locking blocks 42 are mutually engaged. In particular, the traditional method is to directly set a groove at the insert end of the corner piece 3 and set a block in the assembly groove 21. After long-term use, the insert end is prone to cracking under various stresses and pulling forces. Here, the locking block 42 is set on the outer end face of the insert end, and the locking slot 41 is set on the end face of the assembly inner groove 211. Neither of them is set on the side, so it will not cause cracking of the insert end. Moreover, the insertion and engagement are faster during installation. As soon as the insert end is inserted into place, it can be engaged in place with the groove shape of the insert end and the assembly inner groove 211. After being engaged, it is not easy to fall out.
[0034] Specifically, the two sides of the insert portion 31 extend outward and protrude to form a first insert portion 311 and a second insert portion 312. Both the upper and lower surfaces of the first insert portion 311 and the second insert portion 312 are provided with clearance grooves 311a. By providing clearance grooves 311a, the corner piece 3 can be installed not only from the outside to the inside, but also from the outside to the inside. This is because the corner piece 3 is a buffer part made of plastic or soft rubber, which has a certain degree of extensibility. With the clearance grooves 311a, when the corner piece 3 is inserted inward, the further bending of the clearance grooves 311a allows the first insert portion 311 or the second insert portion 312 to first enter the inner mounting groove 211 and then be inserted obliquely into the other insert portion 31. This allows for installation from the outside to the inside. In some cases, the corner piece 3 can be replaced without removing the phone.
[0035] Specifically, the length of the first insert portion 311 is less than the length of the second insert portion 312.
[0036] Specifically, the external part 32 has a buffer groove 321 on one side, which provides a certain degree of cushioning. When the phone case falls downwards, the four corners are usually the most impacted. This structure greatly reduces the impact and shock. The outer side of the buffer groove 321 has a hanging hole 33 for attaching accessories such as lanyards. The corner piece 3 also has a DIY feature, allowing different customers to choose different corner pieces 3 for installation. The manufacturer can provide a default installation configuration and also include some corner pieces 3 for customers to customize their installation. This greatly enriches the application scenarios for the phone case. For example, delivery drivers who frequently ride bicycles need to protect their phones from drops, and the back panel 1 often needs to support phone holders. In such cases, corner pieces 3 with enhanced drop protection can be selected (see reference). Figure 12 ), and select a backplate 1 with a phone holder, such as Figure 10-13 As shown, if a young woman enjoys shopping and needs to hang her phone around her neck, she can opt for the combination with the lanyard hole 33 (see reference). Figure 10 For consumers who watch a lot of movies, a standard corner piece 3 (corner piece 3 with minimal outward protrusion at the four corners) and a back panel 1 with a rotating support can be selected (see reference). Figure 13 ).
[0037] Specifically, for structural support during the production and subsequent assembly of the phone case, the side frame 2 includes a skeleton frame 22 and a soft plastic frame 23. The skeleton frame 22 is located at the lower end of the soft plastic frame 23, and the annular insert groove 202 is provided on the skeleton frame 22. During production, the skeleton frame 22 is first produced by CNC or injection molding. The skeleton frame 22 is preferably made of aluminum, PC, or hard plastic. Then, the skeleton frame 22 is placed in the mold for producing the soft plastic frame 23, and the soft plastic frame 23 is injection molded based on this. In this way, the skeleton frame 22 is integrally formed with the soft plastic frame 23. In order to make the skeleton frame 22 and the soft plastic frame 23 have a more stable structure after injection molding, the upper end of the skeleton frame 22 is provided with an inserting bone protrusion 221, and the inner side of the soft plastic frame 23 is provided with an inserting recess 231 corresponding to the position of the inserting bone protrusion 221.
[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
