[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a waterproof protective cover for a mobile phone camera, including a protective cover 1, an external protective structure for the mobile phone camera, and a pressing block 2 slidably connected inside the protective cover 1. Pressing this block triggers the opening of the cover body 7, simplifying operation and making it suitable for the elderly or those with mobility impairments. A snap-fit ​​plate 3 is attached to one end of the pressing block 2, connecting the pressing block 2 to a rotating shaft 4. Pressing drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, causing its top to disengage from the hook 8, thereby unlocking the cover. The snap-fit ​​plate 3 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4, causing the snap-fit ​​plate 3 to rotate and further transmit force to the rotating shaft 11, ultimately driving the cover body 7 to move. A reset assembly is provided inside the protective cover 1. The protective cover 1 has a fixed connection to the outer wall of the adapter block 1 9, a rotatable connection to the inner wall of the adapter block 1 9, a fixed connection to the outer wall of the adapter block 2 10, a fixed connection to the cover body 7, a fixed connection to the inner wall of the cover body 7, and a locking plate 3 to ensure that the cover body 7 is in a closed state and to prevent accidental opening due to shaking or external force. The adapter block 2 10 has a fixed connection to the inside of the rotating shaft 2 11, the adapter block 1 9 has a fixed connection to the inside of the fixing rod 2 12, and the outer wall of the fixing rod 2 12 is fitted with a torsion spring 2 13. The protective cover 1 has a fixed connection to the outer wall of the limit block 1 to limit the rotation angle of the cover body 7 and prevent it from being damaged or affecting the user experience due to excessive opening or closing.

[0028] The reset assembly includes a fixed rod 5 and a torsion spring 6, which provide reset elasticity to the snap plate 3 to ensure that it can return to its original position when not pressed, thus ensuring the reliability of the closed state. The torsion spring 6 is located inside the protective cover 1 and is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod 5.

[0029] Specifically, by pressing the pressing block 2, users can easily and quickly open or close the cover body 7, thereby improving the ease of operation. It is especially suitable for the elderly or people with mobility impairments. The pressing block 2 is located inside the protective cover 1. After pressing, it can push one end of the snap-fit ​​plate 3 to move, thereby driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate on the outer wall of the fixed rod 5. Through the rotation of the snap-fit ​​plate 3, the top of the snap-fit ​​plate 3 is disengaged from the control of the barb 8, and triggers the reverse rotation of the torsion spring 6, thereby making the torsion spring 13 of the rotating shaft 11 no longer under force, releasing the rotation restriction, ensuring smooth opening and closing of the cover body 7, and effectively preventing the cover from rotating excessively through the limit block 14, avoiding damage caused by improper operation. In addition, the stable closing of the cover body 7 and the ease of opening not only ensure the long-term use of the equipment, but also enhance the comfort and safety of the user experience.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 A mobile phone body 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the protective cover 1. A sealing gasket 15 is slidably connected inside the cover body 7. When the cover is closed, it fits against the protective cover 1 to prevent dust, moisture, or other impurities from entering the camera area and improve the waterproof effect. A sliding rod 16 is fixedly connected inside the sealing gasket 15. A telescopic spring 17 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding rod 16 to provide additional pressure, so that the sealing gasket 15 can be firmly fitted to the protective cover 1 and avoid loosening of the seal due to vibration. A protective component is provided on one side of the outer wall of the cover body 7. The protective component includes an elastic buffer rubber pad 18 and a protective plate 19. When closed, it further enhances the physical protection of the camera and prevents external forces from directly impacting the camera lens. One side of the outer wall of the elastic buffer rubber pad 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the cover body 7. The protective plate 19 and the elastic buffer rubber pad 18 are fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the cover body 7. A cushioning rubber pad 18 is fixedly connected to provide cushioning when the protective plate 19 is compressed, reducing the impact force caused by squeezing or impact, thereby effectively protecting the camera. One end of the torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the protective cover 1, and the other end of the torsion spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the rotating shaft 4. One end of the torsion spring 2 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the adapter block 9, and the other end of the torsion spring 2 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the rotating shaft 2 11. The limiting block 14 is in contact with the adapter block 2 10, and the limiting block 14 is used to limit the adapter block 2 10. Both ends of the rotating shaft 14 are rotatably connected to the inside of the protective cover 1, and the rotating shaft 14 is used to limit the snap-fit ​​plate 3. One end of the telescopic spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cover body 7, and the other end of the telescopic spring 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sealing gasket 15.

[0031] Specifically, when the cover body 7 is closed, the sealing gasket 15, through the action of the telescopic spring 17, fits tightly against the protective cover 1, ensuring waterproofing and preventing moisture and dust from entering the camera area of ​​the phone, greatly improving the phone's protection capabilities. Under the pressure of the telescopic spring 17, the sealing gasket 15 is firmly in contact with the surface of the protective cover 1, avoiding a reduction in the sealing effect due to vibration or shaking. In addition, the design also includes a combination of a protective plate 19 and an elastic buffer rubber pad 18. The protective plate 19 can apply pressure to the elastic buffer rubber pad 18 under external force, further mitigating the impact force generated by impact or squeezing, effectively reducing the potential damage risk of external impact to the camera, not only improving the durability of the camera but also enhancing the safety of the phone, especially in situations such as sports or drops, providing a more reliable protective effect.

[0032] Working principle: When the waterproof protective cover for the mobile phone camera is needed, first press the pressing block 2, which slides inside the protective cover 1, thereby pushing one end of the snap-fit ​​plate 3 to move. This causes the snap-fit ​​plate 3 to drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate on the outer wall of the fixing rod 5. Then, through the rotation of the snap-fit ​​plate 3, the top of the snap-fit ​​plate 3 is released from the control of the barb 8, and the torsion spring 6 reverses. At this time, since the barb 8 and the snap-fit ​​plate 3 are no longer in contact, the torsion spring 13 inside the rotating shaft 11 is no longer under force and rotates back. This causes the rotating shaft 11 and the adapter block 10 to rotate on the inner wall of the adapter block 9, thereby causing the cover body 7 to rotate. During this process, the limiting block 14 restricts the cover body 7 to prevent excessive rotation. When closing, simply press the cover body 7 back to its original position. This achieves the effect of convenient and quick opening and closing of the cover body 7, which is suitable for the elderly.

[0033] Furthermore, when the cover body 7 is closed, the sealing gasket 15 will be brought into contact with the protective cover 1. At this time, the telescopic spring 17 can push the sealing gasket 15 to fit tightly with the protective cover 1, preventing the sealing gasket 15 from loosening due to shaking, thus achieving a stable seal. In addition, the protective plate 19 can also protect the internal camera. When the protective plate 19 is pressed, it will also apply pressure to the elastic buffer rubber pad 18. At this time, the elastic buffer rubber pad 18 can further buffer the external force, thereby achieving effective protection.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is 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.
