Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to folding screen hinge protection shell technical field especially relates to a full package hinge folding screen protection shell. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current mobile device protection market, folding screen phones as a new technology product gradually popular. In order to protect the hinge of folding screen phone, there are various protective cases and cover solutions on the market. The traditional folding screen phone protection scheme usually relies on elastic pivot and magnet to realize the opening and closing action of cover. However, these traditional methods have some significant problems:

[0003] Cost problem: the use of elastic pivot and magnet increases the manufacturing cost of the product, making the final retail price rise, and consumers need to pay higher fees.

[0004] Reliability problem: over time, the elastic pivot may lose elasticity due to frequent use, causing the cover to not close properly; at the same time, the magnet may be affected by external magnetic field, reducing its long-term stability.

[0005] Appearance design limitation: the existing protective case design often separates functionality and aesthetics, failing to provide a practical and attractive solution. Moreover, due to structural limitations, they may not perfectly fit the phone, affecting user experience.

[0006] Therefore, a full package hinge folding screen protection shell is proposed to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0007] In view of the above problems, the utility model provides a new full package hinge folding screen protection shell design scheme, aiming to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide users with a more economical, more reliable and more attractive option. The main structure of the utility model includes a shell and a cover. The cover is rotatably mounted on one side of the shell, and a elastic band is provided between the cover and the shell, which can reset the cover to the hinge position. This technical scheme discards the existing elastic pivot and magnet, and replaces it with an elastic band, making the cost more affordable and the reliability higher.

[0008] Further, the outer sides of the cover and the shell are wrapped with soft film, which not only effectively realizes the rotatable connection between the shell and the cover, but also has good protection performance and is more beautiful.

[0009] In the optional scheme, soft film is also provided on the inner sides of the cover and the shell, which cooperates with the outer soft film to make the overall structure more stable and the appearance more beautiful.

[0010] In addition, the shell and the cover are connected through a rotating shaft, ensuring smooth rotation.

[0011] Regarding the arrangement of the elastic bands, two methods can be adopted. One is to arrange two elastic bands, which are distributed at both ends of the cover and fixedly connected with the shell. In this way, the elastic bands do not contact the side edge of the mobile phone, avoiding unnecessary impact on the mobile phone. The other is to arrange a plurality of elastic bands, which are evenly distributed at the connection between the shell and the cover. This method can significantly enhance the reset ability and better protect the hinge.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By introducing the elastic band to replace the complex elastic rotating shaft and magnet, the product structure is simplified, the material and processing cost are reduced, so that it can be pushed to the market at a lower price, and more consumers benefit.

[0014] The design of the elastic band avoids the risk of failure caused by wear of the traditional rotating shaft, and is not affected by external magnetic field interference, ensuring the stability and durability of long-term use.

[0015] The soft film wrapped on the outside not only realizes flexible rotating connection between the cover and the shell, but also provides an additional physical barrier, effectively preventing dust and debris from entering the hinge gap during daily use. In addition, the soft film arranged on the inside further enhances the stability of the overall structure, especially suitable for protecting the fragile folding screen mobile phone.

[0016] Improve the aesthetic degree: the application of soft film not only enhances the quality of the product, but also can customize different colors and textures according to market demand, meet the individual needs, and improve the market competitiveness of the product.

[0017] Optimize user experience: the ingenious layout of the elastic band ensures smooth and natural opening and closing of the cover, without unnecessary pressure or obstruction to the mobile phone, improving the user's operation experience.

[0018] Easy to maintain: due to the use of simple and solid structure, the shell is easy to clean and maintain, and is not easy to accumulate dust, prolonging the service life. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
