[0037] Please see Figure 1-5 A protective earphone case with a bracket includes a housing 1, a sliding component 2, and a bracket 3. The housing 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12. The bracket 3 is slidably connected to one side of the housing 1 via the sliding component 2. The sliding component 2 includes an elastic component 21, which provides resistance and propulsion during sliding.

[0038] The lower shell 12 of the housing 1 has an upwardly protruding receiving protrusion 1221 on its side, which encloses a receiving groove 122. The shape of the receiving groove 122 matches that of the bracket 3, and the bracket 3 is housed within the receiving groove 122, protecting the bracket structure from damage or wear. The tail end of the receiving protrusion 1221 bends and extends to the bottom of the housing 1, so that the receiving groove 122 also bends and extends to the bottom of the housing 1 in a corresponding manner. Stepped portions 1222 protrude from both sides of the inside of the receiving groove 122.

[0039] The sliding assembly 2 further includes a sliding piece 22 and a slide rail 23 fixed on the receiving groove 122 of the housing 1 and slidably connected to the sliding piece 22. The slide rail 23 has upward protrusions 233 on both sides, and the protrusions 233 are recessed inward to form a sliding groove 2331. The two sides of the sliding piece 22 are bent downward and to the right to match the sliding groove 2331. The bends 223 extend into the sliding groove 2331 and are slidably connected, so that the sliding piece 22 and the slide rail 23 are slidably connected.

[0040] One side of the bracket 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 22, and the other side has textured surfaces to increase the friction when the bracket is slidably moved by external force. The tail end of the bracket 2 is provided with a bent portion 31 at the bend extension of the receiving groove 122. The bent portion 31 can provide a limiting function for supporting electronic equipment when the bracket 3 is in the slid-open state.

[0041] The slide rail 23 is attached to the stepped portion 1222 of the receiving groove 122. The two sides of the bracket are located above the stepped portion 1222 of the receiving groove 122, so that when the bracket 3 is placed in the receiving groove 122, the top surface of the bracket 3 is flush with the receiving protrusion 1221, making the overall design simpler and more aesthetically pleasing, not obtrusive, and protecting the bracket structure from damage and wear. A sliding component 2 is provided in the receiving groove 122, and the bracket 3 is mounted on the sliding component 2, making it easier to assemble the bracket 3 onto the housing 1.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the receiving groove 122 and the bracket 3 are disposed on the wider side of the housing, increasing the size of the support surface to improve the stability of the support and preventing the narrower side from being insufficient to form a stable support structure due to the narrow support surface, thereby causing the bracket to collapse and affecting the user experience.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic component 21 is preferably a torsion spring. A first fixing part 221 is provided on one side of the slide plate 22, and a first bearing 222 is fixed to the first fixing part 221. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the slide plate 22 via the first bearing 222. A second fixing part 231 is provided on the other side of the slide rail 23 corresponding to the position of the slide plate 22, and a second bearing 232 is fixed to the second fixing part 231. The other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the slide rail 23 via the second bearing 232. (See reference...) Figure 4a As shown, the torsion spring is in a state of stress contraction when closed, which generates resistance to prevent the bracket from sliding freely and to prevent the bracket from opening automatically; see reference Figure 4b As shown, when in the open state, the bracket is under a different state of stress contraction, which generates resistance to prevent the bracket from sliding freely and to prevent it from sliding back and forth. The elastic force of the torsion spring allows the bracket to be easily opened or closed with only a small amount of external force when operated with one hand, while also preventing the bracket from opening or closing automatically, thus preventing it from sliding back and forth and improving ease of use.

[0044] The slide rail 23 has an inwardly recessed notch 234 near the bottom. The elastic component 21 is close to the slide piece 22 and is exposed to the outside of the slide rail 23 through the notch 234, which reduces the contact between the elastic component 21 and the bracket 3, thereby reducing friction, reducing the wear of the elastic component 21, increasing service life and reducing costs.

[0045] A silicone upper shell 111 is attached to the inside of the upper shell 11, and a silicone lower shell 121 is attached to the inside of the lower shell. The silicone upper shell 111 and the silicone lower shell 121 are closed to form an accommodating cavity that fits the shape of the Bluetooth earphone charging case. The silicone upper shell 111 and the silicone lower shell 121 can act as a buffer when the Bluetooth earphone charging case is dropped, preventing damage and protecting the Bluetooth earphone.

[0046] A charging hole 123 is provided in the center of the bottom of the lower shell 12, and a through hole is provided on the silicone lower shell 121 at the position corresponding to the charging hole 123. In a preferred embodiment, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are set separately and are not connected, which facilitates opening the Bluetooth earphone charging case directly when opening the earphone protective case. The upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 of this utility model patent are not limited to being set separately, and can also be rotated and connected, snapped together, etc.

[0047] One side of the housing 1 is also provided with an ear loop for hanging a cord.

[0048] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0049] By incorporating an elastic component into the sliding assembly, the elastic force of the elastic component makes it easier to open or close the bracket with one hand, and the force of the elastic component improves the feel of opening and closing.

[0050] By incorporating an elastic component into the sliding assembly, the elastic force of the elastic component is used to prevent the bracket from opening automatically when it is in the retracted state and to prevent the bracket from sliding back and forth when it is in the open state.

[0051] By providing a receiving groove on the side of the housing, a sliding component is provided in the receiving groove, and the bracket is set on the sliding component, making it more convenient to assemble the bracket on the housing;

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0053] Although this document frequently uses terms such as shell 1, upper shell 11, silicone upper shell 111, lower shell 12, silicone lower shell 121, receiving groove 122, receiving protrusion 1221, step portion 1222, sliding component 2, elastic component 21, slide rail 22, second fixing portion 221, second bearing 222, sliding portion 223, slide groove 2231, notch 224, sliding piece 23, first fixing portion 231, first bearing 232, bracket 3, and bending portion 31, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
