Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," and "side" are generally used in the following ways: Figure 1 The relative positions shown are based on the given information, and these directional terms are used only to more clearly describe the relationships between structures, not to describe absolute positions.

[0042] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0043] To make the technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] The first aspect of this application provides an accessory device, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the accessory equipment includes a supporting component 1, a connecting component 2, and a housing 3, wherein,

[0045] Connector 2 connects support member 1 and shell 3;

[0046] The supporting component 1 has a first limiting part 11, and the connecting part 2 has a second limiting part 21. The first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 21 are connected in cooperation.

[0047] It is understood that the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 21 are connected in cooperation, which is beneficial to the connection between the supporting member 1 and the housing 3, thereby improving the stability of the supporting member 1. The supporting member 1 is located on the housing 3 and can cooperate with the user's hand to reduce the pressure on individual fingers, thereby reducing the burden. In the embodiments of this application, the first limiting part 11 can be manufactured with other parts of the supporting member 1 through an integral molding process, which is beneficial to improving the overall structural strength of the supporting member 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, the supporting member 1 may have a side for contact with the fingers, the surface of which has sufficient friction to support the accessory device when the user's fingers or palms come into contact with it, or it may have the ability to deform and completely wrap the user's fingers or palms when they come into contact with it.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second limiting part 21 can be manufactured with other parts of the connector 2 through an integral molding process, which helps to improve the overall structural strength of the connector 2.

[0050] In this embodiment of the application, the supporting component 1 may refer to a component of the accessory device used to achieve a specific function, such as a support function and a pressing function.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 21 can be connected by means of plugging, snapping, or bonding, or by means of welding.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, the accessory devices used herein may be devices that combine with electronic devices to increase the functionality of electronic devices, such as chargers (including wireless chargers), card readers, batteries, etc., which increase the functionality and / or aesthetics of electronic devices; or devices that protect electronic devices, such as protective cases, brackets, etc., which enhance the protection or support of electronic devices.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, the accessory device used herein may be an "active" accessory capable of providing and / or receiving power, or a "passive" accessory capable of neither providing nor receiving power.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connector 2 can be subjected to torque in the first direction so that the second limiting part 21 applies pressure to the first limiting part 11 connected to the housing 3, and the first limiting part 11 can restrict the second limiting part 21 from rotating in the second direction, wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction.

[0055] Understandably, the connecting member 2, by being subjected to torque along the first direction, causes the second limiting part 21 to exert pressure on the first limiting part 11, thereby assembling the supporting member 1 onto the housing 3. The first limiting part 11, by restricting the rotation of the second limiting part 21, helps reduce the slight rotation of the connecting member 2 along the second direction caused by factors such as vibration. This helps the connecting member 2 maintain the connection performance between the supporting member 1 and the housing 3, thereby reducing the possibility of the supporting member 1 loosening or falling off.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, the connector 2 can be subjected to torque in the first direction so that the second limiting part 21 applies pressure to the first limiting part 11 connected to the housing 3. This can mean that the connector 2 undergoes other forms of slight rotation or movement when subjected to torque, so that the second limiting part 21 exerts pressure on the first limiting part 11.

[0057] In this embodiment, since the aforementioned pressure can be generated by the torque along the first direction through the connector 2, the first limiting part 11 restricts the second limiting part 21 from rotating along the second direction, thus maintaining the pressure generated by the connector 2 without being affected by rotation in the opposite direction. Therefore, the connector 2 can maintain the connection performance between the supporting member 1 and the housing 3.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, the first direction can be clockwise and the second direction can be counterclockwise.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first limiting part 11 has a first wedge block 111, and the second limiting part 21 has a second wedge block 211. The inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 is in contact with the inclined surface of the second wedge block 211, and the slope of the inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 is the same as the slope of the inclined surface of the second wedge block 211.

[0060] Understandably, since the slope of the inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 is the same as the slope of the inclined surface of the second wedge block 211, the inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 can fit against the inclined surface of the second wedge block 211. Simultaneously, when the second wedge block 211 moves along the first direction, the inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 can act as a guide, while when the second wedge block 211 moves along the second direction, it will be subject to interference from the first wedge block 111. This helps to reduce the possibility of the connector 2 becoming loose.

[0061] In this embodiment of the application, the number of first wedge blocks 111 can correspond one-to-one with the number of second wedge blocks 211, and the inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 and the western surface of the second wedge block 211 are attached and connected one-to-one.

[0062] In this embodiment, the inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 can extend downward from top to bottom along the tangent direction of the first direction, which is beneficial for the connector 2 to rotate under torque along the first direction, while restricting the connector 2 from rotating along the second direction.

[0063] In this embodiment of the application, the same slope can mean that the angle formed between the inclined surface of the first wedge block 111 and the bottom surface of the first wedge block 111 is equal in size to the angle formed between the inclined surface of the second wedge block 211 and the bottom surface of the second wedge block 211.

[0064] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first limiting part 11 has a first through hole 1101, the housing 3 has a second through hole, the axis of the second through hole intersects with the first direction, the connecting member 2 extends into the second through hole through the first through hole 1101 and is connected to the second through hole by a thread, and the first limiting part 11 is located between the second limiting part 21 and the housing 3.

[0065] It is understandable that the threaded connection between the connector 2 and the second through hole facilitates the connection of the connector 2 to generate pressure on the first limiting part 11, which is connected to the housing 3, by rotating the connector 2 in the first direction. Specifically, as the connector 2 rotates in the first direction, the engagement position between the second through hole and the connector 2 gradually approaches the end of the connector 2 away from the housing 3. This end of the connector 2 can then contact the supporting member 1, thereby generating pressure and achieving the connection between the supporting member 1 and the housing 3. Furthermore, when the connector 2 is subjected to torque in the first direction and rotates, the engagement position between the connector 2 and the housing 3 changes, thus increasing the pressure connecting the supporting member 1 and the housing 3.

[0066] In this embodiment, the second through hole and the first through hole 1101 are arranged collinearly, so as to facilitate the connector 2 to pass through the first through hole 1101 and extend into the second through hole at the same time.

[0067] In this embodiment of the application, the axial direction of the second through hole is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the end of the connector 2 facing the housing 3 has a buffer.

[0069] It is understandable that the buffer helps to prevent the connector 2 from directly colliding with other components or electronic devices inside the housing 3, thus helping to prevent damage to the parts that collide with the buffer.

[0070] In the embodiments of this application, the buffer can be a part made of a material with deformability, such as plastic, such as a rubber ring.

[0071] In this embodiment, the buffer and the connector 2 can be connected by snap-fitting, adhesive bonding or other means.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the finger support 13 includes a bent section 12 and a finger support 13. The bent section 12 connects the finger support 13 and the first limiting part 11. The finger support 13 and the first limiting part 11 are located on opposite sides of the housing 3.

[0073] Understandably, the bending section 12 connects the finger rest 13 and the first limiting part 11, which is beneficial for both to be arranged in different positions on the housing 3. Arranging the first limiting part 11 and the finger rest 13 on opposite sides of the housing 3 helps to reduce the interference caused by the first limiting part 11 to the user.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the finger support 13 has a plurality of protrusions 131 on the side opposite to the housing 3, and the plurality of protrusions 131 are spaced apart.

[0075] Understandably, the multiple protrusions 131 can increase the roughness of the side of the finger rest 13 facing away from the housing 3, thus improving the stability of the user's finger when pressing.

[0076] In this embodiment of the application, the interval between adjacent protrusions 131 can be 1 mm, 2 mm or other values, so that the user's finger can cover multiple protrusions 131.

[0077] In the embodiments of this application, the number of protrusions 131 can be 2, 3, 4 or other numbers.

[0078] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the end of the connector 2 facing away from the housing 3 has a handle 4.

[0079] Understandably, the handle 4 facilitates the connection of the connector 2 to be driven by rotation in the first direction, thus enabling the connection between the supporting member 1 and the housing 3.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the two ends of the handle 4 are connected to the connector 2 respectively, and the handle 4 can rotate relative to the connector 2 about the line connecting the two ends of the handle 4 as the axis.

[0081] Understandably, the rotatable handle 4 provides a point of leverage for the assembler during assembly, facilitating the connection between the supporting component 1 and the housing 3 by rotating the connecting component 2 in the first direction. After assembly, the handle 4 can be rotated to fit against the surface of the housing 3 or the supporting component 1, which helps to prevent the handle 4 from protruding from the connecting component 2 and colliding with other items.

[0082] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the housing 3 has a receiving cavity 301, and the openings of the connecting member 2 and the receiving cavity 301 are located on opposite sides of the housing 3.

[0083] Understandably, the receiving cavity 301 can be used to accommodate electronic devices, which facilitates the cooperation between electronic devices and accessory devices, enabling the electronic devices to have more operating modes. The connector 2 and the opening of the receiving cavity 301 are located on opposite sides of the housing 3, which can reduce the interference of the connector 2 on the electronic devices, thus facilitating the placement of the electronic devices into the receiving cavity 301.

[0084] In some embodiments of this application, as shown in the figure, the accessory device includes a protective shell 5, which is connected to the housing 3, and one side of the protective shell 5 is connected to the side of the housing 3 opposite to the connector 2.

[0085] Understandably, the protective case 5 can be used to house and support electronic devices such as mobile phones, allowing other functional modules on accessory devices to form an electrical connection with these electronic devices through the protective case 5, thereby enabling them to perform more functions and provide more operating methods in conjunction with the electronic devices.

[0086] In some embodiments of this application, the protective shell 5 is integrally formed with the housing 3, which helps to improve the connection performance between the two and reduces the possibility of the protective shell 5 falling off the housing 3 and causing damage to other functional modules.

[0087] In some embodiments of this application, the protective shell 5 is detachably connected to the housing 3, which allows the user to replace the appropriate protective shell 5 with one that is suitable for the actual situation and install it on the electronic device.

[0088] A second aspect of this application provides an electronic device assembly, which includes an electronic device 6 and an accessory device as described in the above embodiments, wherein the electronic device 6 and the accessory device are detachably connected.

[0089] It is understood that, due to the use of the accessory device in the above embodiments, the electronic device component of this application has the same technical effects as the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here. At the same time, the electronic device 6 is detachably connected to the accessory device, which is beneficial for users to install or remove the accessory device according to actual needs, reducing the weight of the accessory device.

[0090] In this embodiment, the electronic device 6 can be a smartphone, watch, tablet computer, or other similar product.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, the electronic device 6 used herein can be broadly defined as having a computer and a product controlled by the computer, such as a robot, a car, etc.

[0092] For example, when the electronic device 6 is a car, the housing 3 in this article can be a body shell, door, interior and exterior body trim, etc. The accessory devices used in this article can be body accessories or other additional devices that enhance the protection or support of the electronic device 6.

[0093] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device 6 is detachably connected to the protective case 5, which allows the user to replace the protective case 5 with a suitable one according to actual needs and install it on the electronic device 6.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, the electronic device 6 is detachably connected to the housing 3, which allows the user to replace the electronic device 6 with appropriate accessory devices as needed to achieve more functions. In this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The term "multiple" refers to two or more unless otherwise expressly defined.
