[0065] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 is a perspective structural schematic view of a partial support assembly provided by some embodiments of the present application, Figure 11 is Figure 10 an exploded structural schematic view of a partial support assembly in an embodiment.

[0066] In installation, the rotating member 500 in the shape of an arc ring can be sleeved on the first body 210 and installed into the accommodating groove 101 together with the first body 210. The first body 210 can be provided with two clamping grooves 205, and the two ends of the rotating member 500, i.e. the two connecting portions of the first portion 510 and the second portion 520, can be clamped in the two clamping grooves 205 respectively. The third limiting groove 203 and the fourth limiting groove 204 can be in communication with the clamping grooves 205, and the first portion 510 of the rotating member 500 located in the periphery of the first body 210 can be clamped in the third limiting groove 203, and the second portion 520 of the rotating member 500 located in the periphery of the first body 210 can be clamped in the fourth limiting groove 204.

[0067] The support assembly 11 of the embodiment of the present application can reduce the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the rotating member 500 at the same time by pulling the two ends of the rotating member 500, i.e. the corner positions of the rotating member 500, when installing, so as to facilitate the accommodation of the rotating member 500 in the third limiting groove 203 and the fourth limiting groove 204. When the rotating member 500 and the base 200 are installed into the accommodating groove 101 together, the support assembly 11 can release the two ends of the rotating member 500, so that the rotating member 500 is clamped in the first limiting groove 102, the second limiting groove 103, the third limiting groove 203 and the fourth limiting groove 204 at the same time, to achieve the limiting effect, so that the base 200 can be stably connected with the side wall of the accommodating groove 101 through the rotating member 500, and then the support assembly 11 can rotate the base 200 to the required position relative to the shell 100 as needed, to achieve the adjustment of the relative angle of the support 300 and the shell 100.

[0068] It can be understood that the structure of the rotating member 500 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In other embodiments, the base 200 can be connected to the side wall of the accommodating groove 101 through a rotating member 500 of other structure. The support assembly 11 can realize the angle adjustment function of the support 300 relative to the shell 100 through the rotating connection between the base 200 and the shell 100, and realize the rotating function of the support 300 relative to the base 200 through the hinged structure between the support 300 and the base 200.

[0069] In some embodiments, the support assembly 11 can include a first hinge member 610 and a second hinge member 620. The first hinge member 610 and the second hinge member 620 are both connected between the base 200 and the support 300 to realize the hinged connection between the base 200 and the support 300. Moreover, the first hinge member 610 and the second hinge member 620 are arranged in a spaced manner to prevent the hinged structure from cooperating with the base 200 or the support 300 to form a ring-shaped loop and interfere with the wireless charging state of the electronic device 10 or the external device wrapped by the protective sleeve 20.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first hinge member 610 can be connected with one first connecting end 211 and one second connecting end 311, and the second hinge member 620 can be connected with the other first connecting end 211 and the other second connecting end 311. The first main body 210 of the base 200 and the second main body 310 of the support 300 can both be arc-shaped. The first hinge member 610 can be connected with one end of the first main body 210 and one end of the second main body 310, and the second hinge member 620 can be connected with the other end of the first main body 210 and the other end of the second main body 310. In this way, the first hinge member 610 and the second hinge member 620 can be respectively located on both sides of the first disconnection part 220 and on both sides of the second disconnection part 320. In other words, the support assembly 11 can arrange the disconnection parts of the base 200 and the support 300 used to prevent the formation of a ring-shaped loop at the hinged positions of the two. When the support 300 rotates relative to the base 200, the first hinge member 610 and the second hinge member 620 can simultaneously act on both ends of the first main body 210 and both ends of the second main body 310 to improve the support stability of the support 300.

[0071] It can be understood that the support assembly 11 can include two or more hinge members, including the first hinge member 610 and the second hinge member 620. In other embodiments, the support assembly can also include only one hinge member, as long as the hinge member does not span the first disconnection part 220 or the second disconnection part 320 to form a closed loop with the first main body 210 or the second main body 310.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first hinge 610 can include a first hinge leaf 611, a second hinge leaf 612, and a hinge shaft 613. The first hinge leaf 611 is connected to the first main body 210, the second hinge leaf 612 is connected to the second main body 310, and the hinge shaft 613 is connected between the first hinge leaf 611 and the second hinge leaf 612 to enable the first hinge leaf 611 to rotate relative to the second hinge leaf 612. The first hinge leaf 611 can be disposed on a side of the first main body 210 facing away from the support 300. The first hinge leaf 611 can be connected to the first main body 210 by, for example but not limited to, plug-in fixing. The second hinge leaf 612 can be disposed on a side of the second main body 310 facing the base 200. The second hinge leaf 612 can be connected to the second main body 310 by, for example but not limited to, plug-in fixing. The second hinge 620 can have a structure similar to that of the first hinge 610, and the installation manner is similar to that of the first hinge 610, and thus will not be described herein.

[0073] In other embodiments, the first hinge 610 and the second hinge 620 can also have other hinge structures as long as they can enable the support 300 to be hingedly connected to the base 200.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 FIG. 7 is a partial perspective view of a support assembly according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0075] In some embodiments, the support assembly 11 further includes a response assembly 700. The response assembly 700 can be fixed relative to the housing 100, so that when the base 200 rotates relative to the housing 100, the response assembly 700 can move relative to the base 200. The response assembly 700 can be directly fixed to the housing 100, or can be connected to the housing 100 through other structural members.

[0076] The base 200 can be provided with a plurality of response portions 206 arranged in a circumferential direction. The arrangement direction of the plurality of response portions 206 can be the same as or opposite to the rotation direction of the base 200. The response portions 206 are disposed on a side of the base 200 facing the response assembly 700. The response assembly 700 can be in contact with the response portions 206 or the surface of the base 200 provided with the response portions 206. When the base 200 rotates relative to the housing 100, the response assembly 700 can be in contact with each of the response portions 206 to provide feedback, such as audible or tactile feedback, for example, by emitting a sound or transmitting a vibration.

[0077] The plurality of response portions 206 can be arranged in a circumferential direction on the base 200, as shown in FIG. 7. Figure 12The response components 700 are arranged on the inner side of the base 200 and along the inner periphery of the base 200. The response components 700 can be arranged in the inner periphery of the base 200 and contact the inner side of the base 200. Hereinafter, the response components 700 are mainly taken as an example for illustration. In other embodiments, the response components 206 can also be arranged on the outer side of the base 200, and the response components 700 are correspondingly arranged in the outer periphery of the base 200.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 13 is a perspective view of the response component provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0079] In some embodiments, the response component 700 can include a stopper 710 and a reset component 720. One end of the stopper 710 is provided with a surface facing the base 200 where the response components 206 are arranged, and the other end of the stopper 710 abuts against the reset component 720. The reset component 720 is used to apply a force to the stopper 710 towards the surface of the base 200 where the response components 206 are arranged, so that the stopper 710 can contact each response component 206 to provide feedback during the rotation of the base 200 relative to the shell 100.

[0080] Optionally, the reset component 720 is a spring. The reset component 720 can contact the side of the stopper 710 away from the surface of the base 200 where the response components 206 are arranged, and is used to apply an elastic reset force to the stopper 710. In other embodiments, the reset component 720 can also be other structures capable of applying a force to the stopper 710 towards the surface of the base 200, for example, the reset component 720 can include at least two repelling magnets, and the reset force is applied to the stopper 710 by the repelling action of the two magnets.

[0081] In some embodiments, the response component 206 can be a groove arranged on the surface of the base 200. The response component 700 can abut against the groove wall. During the rotation of the base 200 relative to the shell 100, the response component 700 can move relative to the base 200 and sequentially contact and separate from each response component 206. When the response component 700 moves relative to the base 200 to contact one response component 206, the stopper 710 will collide with the groove wall due to the difference between the surface of the base 200 where the response components 206 are arranged and the groove wall, and provide feedback under the action of the reset component 720.

[0082] In other embodiments, the response part 206 can also be other structures capable of providing feedback to the response assembly 700. For example, the response part 206 can be a protrusion provided on the surface of the base 200. When the abutting piece 710 leaves the response part 206, it will collide with the surface of the base 200 provided with the response part 206 to provide feedback. Wherein, the abutting piece 710 can contact or be spaced apart from the surface of the base 200 provided with the response part 206 when it is spaced apart from the response part 206.

[0083] The response assembly 700 can further include a mounting seat 730. The mounting seat 730 can be fixed to the shell 100. The abutting piece 710 is arranged on the mounting seat 730 and can be telescopic relative to the mounting seat 730 under the action of the restoring piece 720 and the response part 206. The mounting seat 730 can include a first seat body 731 and a second seat body 732 connected with each other, and the first seat body 731 and the second seat body 732 can cooperate to limit the abutting piece 710 and the restoring piece 720. Wherein, the connection manner of the first seat body 731 and the second seat body 732 is for example but not limited to plug-in fixing. The first seat body 731 and the second seat body 732 can surround to form a mounting space for the abutting piece 710 and the restoring piece 720. In other embodiments, the mounting seat 730 can also be other structures, for example, an integrated seat structure.

[0084] Optionally, the mounting seat 730 is provided with a limiting part 701. The limiting part 701 can be a protrusion as shown in Figure 13 In the telescopic direction of the abutting piece 710, the limiting part 701 can be located between the abutting piece 710 and the base 200, for preventing the abutting piece 710 from falling off the mounting seat 730.

[0085] Wherein, the abutting piece 710 can have a part protruding from the mounting seat 730 and another part accommodated in the mounting seat 730. The part of the abutting piece 710 protruding from the mounting seat 730 is used to contact the response part 206, and the other part of the abutting piece 710 accommodated in the mounting seat 730 can abut against the limiting part 701 to prevent the abutting piece 710 from excessively extending out of the mounting seat 730 under the action of the restoring piece 720.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first main body 210 can be provided with a clamping groove 205 for mounting the rotating piece 500 as shown in Figure 12 During the rotation of the base 200 relative to the shell 100, the abutting piece 710 can be trapped in the clamping groove 205, and at this time the limiting part 701 can prevent the abutting piece 710 from falling off. The response assembly 700 can include two limiting parts 701, which are respectively located on both sides of one end of the abutting piece 710 for contacting the response part 206 and abut against different parts of the abutting piece 710. Of course, the number and position of the limiting part 701 are not limited to this.

[0087] In other embodiments, the response components 206 can be arranged on the housing 100, and the response assembly 700 can be fixed to the base 200, so that when the base 200 rotates relative to the housing 100, the abutting piece 710 of the response assembly 700 can contact each response component 206 arranged on the surface of the housing 100 to provide feedback. In this embodiment, a plurality of response components 206 can be arranged on the surface of the housing 100 in a ring shape, and one end of the abutting piece 710 faces the surface of the housing 100 where the response components 206 are arranged. The limiting portion 701 can be located between the abutting piece 710 and the surface of the housing 100 where the response components 206 are arranged. Other features of this embodiment can refer to the above-mentioned embodiments in which the response components 206 are arranged on the base 200.

[0088] In other words, the response components 206 can be arranged on one of the housing 100 and the base 200, and the response assembly 700 can be fixed to the other one. The response components 206 arranged on the housing 100 or the base 200 can be a plurality of response components arranged in a ring shape. One end of the abutting piece 710 faces the surface of the base 200 or the housing 100 where the response components 206 are arranged, and the other end abuts against the restoring piece 720. The restoring piece 720 is used to apply a force to the abutting piece 710 towards the surface of the base 200 or the housing 100 where the response components 206 are arranged, so that the abutting piece 710 can contact each response component 206 to provide feedback during the rotation of the base 200 relative to the housing 100. In the extension direction of the abutting piece 710 relative to the mounting seat 730, the limiting portion 701 can be located between the abutting piece 710 and the surface of the housing 100 or the base 200 where the response components 206 are arranged, to prevent the abutting piece 710 from being separated from the mounting seat 730.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 13 to 16 , Figure 14 is a schematic diagram of the support assembly according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 15 is Figure 14 a schematic diagram of the support assembly according to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 16 is Figure 14 a schematic diagram of the support assembly according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0090] In some embodiments, the response assembly 700 can be directly fixed to the housing 100. The housing 100 can be provided with a mounting opening 104, and the response assembly 700 can be arranged in the mounting opening 104. In this embodiment, the mounting opening 104 can be a through hole penetrating through the two opposite sides of the housing 100. The mounting seat 730 can be accommodated in the mounting opening 104. The two opposite sides of the mounting seat 730 can be flush with the two opposite sides of the housing 100, so as to avoid damaging the appearance consistency of the support assembly 11. In this embodiment, the mounting seat 730 can be fixedly connected with the housing 100, and the connection mode can be, for example but not limited to, clamping. In other embodiments, the mounting opening 104 can also be a blind hole.

[0091] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, the first base 731 may be provided with a plug-in portion 702, which can be plugged into and fixed to the second base 732. Figure 15 As shown, the housing 100 may be provided with a mounting portion 105, and the first base 731 and the second base 732 may be respectively provided on opposite sides of the mounting portion 105. The insertion portion 702 may pass through the mounting portion 105 and be inserted into the second base 732 to achieve a fixed connection between the mounting base 730 and the housing 100. Of course, the method of fixing the mounting base 730 to the housing 100 is not limited to this.

[0092] The mounting opening 104 can be located within the inner circumference of the base 200 and communicate with the first limiting groove 102. The mounting base 730 can have a groove corresponding to the first limiting groove 102, used to cooperate with the first limiting groove 102 to form an annular groove. Figure 16 As shown, both the reset member 720 and the abutment member 710 have portions that are accommodated inside the mounting base 730. One end of the reset member 720 abuts against the abutment member 710, and the other end of the reset member 720 abuts against the housing 100. The reset member 720 can be a compressed spring used to apply a reset force to the abutment member 710, allowing the abutment member 710 to abut against the base 200. This enables the response assembly 700 to provide rotational feedback in conjunction with multiple response units 206 during the rotation of the base 200 relative to the housing 100.
