Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and in particular to a protective cover for game consoles. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the gaming industry, game consoles are becoming increasingly popular. Whether it's a home console or a portable game console, they have become favorites among many game enthusiasts. However, in daily use, game consoles face many potential risks. From common collisions and scratches to the inconvenience of storing and managing game cartridges, some manufacturers have provided protective cases for game consoles, which are placed over the outer perimeter of the console to prevent it from being bumped or scratched.

[0003] Although these game console cases provide excellent protection for the console itself, they are designed and manufactured to fit the shape of the console and, in order to enhance protection, are typically fitted with an interference fit. This makes it relatively difficult to remove the console from the case.

[0004] Therefore, developing a game console protective case that integrates protection and easy disassembly is of significant practical importance. It can not only effectively extend the lifespan of the game console but also allow for quick removal, providing users with a better experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a game console protective cover to solve the defect of existing protective covers that cannot be quickly disassembled.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A protective cover for a game console, used to be fitted around the outer perimeter of the game console body, comprising:

[0008] A protective case body, the protective case body having a front and a back;

[0009] The protective case body has handles connected to both sides by a bending piece;

[0010] When the handle is subjected to external force, it can bend in the direction of the back to expose the main body of the game console.

[0011] Furthermore, the bending member includes a first part and a second part; the first part and the second part are flexibly connected;

[0012] The first part has a first inclined surface; the second part has a second inclined surface;

[0013] When the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are in contact, the first part and the second part are in a folded state.

[0014] When the first inclined plane and the second inclined plane separate, the first part and the second part are in an unfolded state.

[0015] Furthermore, the second part has an assembly block at its outward-facing end;

[0016] The handle that is adapted to the assembly block has an assembly groove;

[0017] The assembly block is inserted into the assembly slot to connect the handle to the bent component. Furthermore, a slot base is detachably connected to the back side.

[0018] Furthermore, the back side has fixing buckles on both sides along its length.

[0019] The fixing buckles on both sides are symmetrically arranged and form a sliding area between them for the card slot base to slide.

[0020] When the card slot base is subjected to an external force along the sliding direction, the card slot base can slide in the sliding area until the card slot base disengages from the sliding area to achieve a detachable connection with the protective sleeve body.

[0021] Furthermore, the card slot base has flanges on both sides;

[0022] The fastener has a bent portion, and a slide is provided between the bent portion and the back surface.

[0023] The flange is inserted into the slide rail, and when the slot base is subjected to an external force in the sliding direction, the flange can move in the slide rail.

[0024] Furthermore, the card slot base has a locking portion;

[0025] The end of the retaining buckle facing the slot base has a groove;

[0026] The card slot base slides in the sliding area until the card slot is inserted into the groove to lock the card slot base in the sliding area.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the flange is integrally connected to the slot base, and the other end of the flange is a free end;

[0028] The card slot base has a first configuration when locked in the sliding area;

[0029] When the free end is squeezed, the card slot base changes from a first form to a second form to unlock the card slot base from the sliding area.

[0030] Furthermore, the surface of the card slot base has an inwardly recessed card slot;

[0031] The card slot has sidewalls on both sides in the width direction of the card slot base, and a stop is provided on one side of the card slot base in the length direction.

[0032] The side walls on both sides cooperate with the stop members to enclose the assembly area of ​​the assembly card.

[0033] Furthermore, the bottom of the card slot has a latch at the card insertion end;

[0034] When the buckle is subjected to force, it can move longitudinally relative to the bottom of the card slot; the upper part of the card slot has a limiting part;

[0035] The buckle and the limiting part together form an entrance / exit for the card to enter and exit; when the buckle is subjected to force, the size of the entrance / exit can be adjusted to accommodate the entry or exit of the card.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0037] This technical solution provides a game console protective cover for wearing around the outer perimeter of a game console. The game controller can be bent and rotated relative to the protective cover body, allowing the entire game console body to be exposed for easy removal when disassembly is required. Specifically, the game console protective cover includes a protective cover body having a front and a back. A controller is connected to each side of the protective cover body via a bending member. When subjected to external force, the controller can bend towards the back to expose the game console body. This solves the problem in existing technologies where the assembly of game console protective covers and game console bodies is typically an interference fit, making it difficult to remove the game console body from the protective cover.

Detailed Implementation

[0048] The following will be combined with the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0049] In recent years, handheld game consoles have become popular among gamers. To protect their consoles from scratches, many gamers typically use protective cases. However, current handheld game console cases are usually fitted with an interference fit, making it difficult to remove the console from the case.

[0050] In response, the inventor provides a game console protective case, which aims to protect the game console from scratches and facilitate the removal of the protective case from the game console.

[0051] This technical solution provides a protective case for game consoles, typically made of materials such as plastic or metal. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this type of game console protective case includes a protective case body 1, which has a front side 11 and a back side 12. The front side 11 has a groove recessed inward from the surface of the game console protective case body 1, the shape of which is adapted to the outer contour of the game console body for mounting the game console body.

[0052] The protective case body 1 has handles 3 connected to both sides by a bending member 2. When the protective case body 1 is fitted around the periphery of the game console body, the game console handles fall exactly inside the handles 3, so that the user can hold the handles 3 to control the game console.

[0053] The back of the protective case body 1 is detachably connected to a card slot base 4. The card slot base 4 is used to store game cards or other accessories.

[0054] In this technical solution, when the handle 3 is subjected to external force, it can bend in the direction of the back 12 to expose the game console body.

[0055] It should be understood that the design of the handle 3, which can bend in the direction of the back 12 to expose the game console body when subjected to external force, not only protects the game console body from direct impact, but also allows users to easily disassemble the game console body when needed, achieving a balance between protection and convenience.

[0056] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bending component 2 in this embodiment is made of PP material, which is a flexible material that can support the bending component 2 to be bent repeatedly under the action of external force.

[0057] The bending member 2 includes a first part 21 and a second part 22; the first part 21 and the second part 22 are flexibly connected; the first part 21 has a first inclined surface 211; the second part 22 has a second inclined surface 221; when the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 221 are in contact, the first part 21 and the second part 22 are in a folded state; when the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 221 are separated, the first part 21 and the second part 22 are in an unfolded state.

[0058] Traditional protective cases typically feature fixed handle designs, lacking flexibility in position or orientation, which inconveniences users when disassembling the game console. This technical solution resolves the conflict between handle fixation and flexibility through the design of the bending component 2, allowing the handle 3 to switch between folded and unfolded states according to user needs.

[0059] When the user needs to disassemble the game console, the user can hold the handle 3 and gently pull it outward. At this time, the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 221 will move closer together due to the force acting on the back surface 12. When the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 221 come into contact, the handle 3 changes from an unfolded state to a folded state.

[0060] However, when the user needs to use the controller 3 for game operation, they can hold the controller 3 and gently pull it towards the front 11. At this time, the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 221 will separate due to the force applied towards the front 11. When the first inclined surface 211 and the second inclined surface 221 are no longer in contact, the controller 3 changes from a folded state to an unfolded state. The unfolded controller 3 is in a comfortable grip position, allowing the user to comfortably hold the controller 3 and operate the game console.

[0061] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to prevent the handle 3 from falling off during use, the second part 22 has an assembly block 223 at its outward end; the handle 3, which is adapted to the assembly block 223, has an assembly groove 31; the assembly block 223 is inserted into the assembly groove 31 to achieve the connection between the handle 3 and the bending member 2.

[0062] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the longitudinal section of the assembly block 223 is L-shaped. When the assembly block 223 is inserted into the assembly groove 31, a tight mechanical connection is formed between the two. Furthermore, because the assembly block 223 is L-shaped, a multi-faceted constraint is formed between the two. The outer peripheral wall of the assembly block 223 fits tightly against the inner peripheral wall of the assembly groove 31, restricting the shaking and displacement of the handle in the horizontal direction. During gameplay, regardless of how quickly the player operates the handle, how much the handle moves, or what kind of vibration it experiences, this tight fit ensures a stable connection between the handle 3 and the bent component 2, effectively preventing the handle from falling off. The joint between them forms a multi-faceted constraint.

[0063] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, as Figure 1 As shown, the back surface 12 is detachably connected to a card slot base 4. The card slot base 4 is used to assemble, for example, game console cards, to facilitate the storage of game console cards by game enthusiasts.

[0064] In this embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, the back side 12 has fixing buckles 121 on both sides along its length; the fixing buckles 121 on both sides are symmetrically arranged and form a sliding area 123 between them for the card slot base 4 to slide; when the card slot base 4 is subjected to an external force along the sliding direction F, the card slot base 4 can slide in the sliding area 123 until the card slot base 4 disengages from the sliding area 123 to achieve a detachable connection with the protective sleeve body 1.

[0065] It should be understood that with this design, during use, the user only needs to apply an external force F along the sliding direction to the card slot base 4 to easily slide the card slot base 4 in the sliding area 123, thereby realizing the installation or removal of the card slot base 4 from the protective cover body 1. This operation method is simple and direct, requiring no additional tools, greatly improving the user's ability to replace the card slot base 4, for example, by replacing it with a larger or smaller card slot base 4, to adapt to more usage scenarios.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the card slot base 4 has flanges 41 on both sides; the fixing buckle 121 has a bent portion 1211, and the bent portion 1211 has a slide 122 between it and the back surface 12; the flange 41 is inserted into the slide 122 and when the card slot base 4 is subjected to an external force in the sliding direction, the flange 41 can move in the slide 122.

[0067] It should be understood that with this design, the flanges 41 on both sides of the card slot base 4 are inserted into the slide 122 formed between the bent part 1211 of the fixing buckle 121 and the back side 12 of the protective sleeve body 1, thus constructing a sliding connection structure.

[0068] By utilizing the clearance fit between the flange 41 and the slide rail 122, the connection stability is ensured while allowing the slot base 4 to slide relative to each other along the sliding direction. This design utilizes the sliding pair principle commonly found in mechanical structures. Through reasonable dimensional design and tolerance control, it ensures that the flange 41 can slide smoothly within the slide rail 122 without excessive wobbling.

[0069] In addition, the slide rail 122 guides the flange 41, limiting the movement direction of the slot base 4 to the sliding direction only. Simultaneously, the bent portion 1211 of the fixing buckle 121 and the back of the protective sleeve body 1 together form a limiting structure for the flange 41, preventing the flange 41 from disengaging from the slide rail 122 during movement, ensuring stable movement of the slot base 4 within the sliding area 123, and achieving a reliable detachable connection function.

[0070] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the card slot base 4 has a locking portion 42; the locking portion 42 is located on the side wall of the card slot base 4 in the width direction and is arranged outward. The end of the fixing buckle 121 facing the card slot base 4 has a groove 1212; when the card slot base 4 slides in the sliding area 123 until the locking portion enters the groove 1212, the card slot base 4 is locked in the sliding area 123.

[0071] It should be understood that, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 The locking part 42 and the groove 1212 are mutually compatible structures. When an external force F is applied to the slot base 4 along the sliding direction, causing it to slide in the sliding area 123, the locking part 42 will move accordingly. When the slot base 4 slides to a specific position, the locking part 42 can just fall into the groove 1212. At this time, the groove 1212 forms a physical restriction on the locking part 42, hindering the further movement of the locking part 42 in the absence of external force from multiple directions, thereby limiting the displacement of the slot base 4 in the absence of external force, and firmly locking the slot base 4 in the sliding area 123, realizing a reliable connection between the slot base 4 and the protective sleeve body 1.

[0072] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, one end of the flange 41 is integrally connected to the slot base 4, and the other end of the flange 41 is a free end 411; when the slot base 4 is locked in the sliding area 124, it has a first form A; when the free end 411 is squeezed, the slot base 4 changes from the first form A to the second form B so as to unlock the slot base 4 from the sliding area 123.

[0073] It should be noted that the first form A of the card slot base 4 is a rectangular shape. When the free end 411 is squeezed, the corner position of the card slot base 4 is deformed, so that the card slot base 4 changes from the original rectangular shape to a ladder shape. This ladder shape is the second form B.

[0074] It should be understood that when the free end 411 of the flange 41 is squeezed, the free end 411 will elastically deform towards the inside of the card slot base 4. At this time, the user squeezes the free ends 411 on both sides of the card slot base 4 so that the entire card slot base 4 becomes the second form B, which makes it easier for the user to push the card slot base 4 out of the sliding area 123, thereby realizing the removal of the card slot base 4 from the inner surface 12 of the protective sleeve body 1.

[0075] Furthermore, in one embodiment, as well as Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the card slot base 4 has an inwardly recessed card slot 43; the two sides of the card slot 43 have sidewalls 431 in the width direction of the card slot base 4, and the card slot 43 has a stop 432 on one side in the length direction of the card slot base 4; the sidewalls 431 on both sides cooperate with the stop 432 to form an assembly area 433 for assembling cards.

[0076] It should be understood that the card slot 43 is used to assemble game cards. When a game card is assembled into the assembly area 433, the game card can be constrained in the assembly area 433, thereby being stored on the back side 12 of the protective sleeve body 1.

[0077] Furthermore, in one embodiment, as well as Figure 5 As shown, there are multiple card slots 43, which are arranged along the length of the protective sleeve body 1. It should be understood that this design facilitates the sequential storage of multiple game cards in the card slots 43 when the user needs to store them, thus enabling the organization of multiple game cards.

[0078] Furthermore, in one embodiment, as well as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the card slot 43 has a latch 434 at the card entry end C; when the latch 434 is subjected to force, it can move longitudinally relative to the bottom of the card slot 43; the upper part of the card slot 43 has a limiting part 44; the latch 434 and the limiting part 44 together form an entrance / exit D for the card to enter and exit; when the latch 434 is subjected to force, it can adjust the size of the entrance / exit D to accommodate the entry or exit of the card.

[0079] It should be understood that, in this embodiment, the card slot base 4 is made of a material with elastic properties, such as PP or other plastic materials. Therefore, the buckle 434 utilizes elastic deformation to achieve its function. When subjected to external force, the buckle 434 can move vertically downwards, thus increasing the entrance / exit D to facilitate card entry. Once the card is fully inserted into the assembly area 433, the external force is removed from the buckle 434, and it returns to its original position, thus securing the card within the assembly area 433.

[0080] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 8As shown, the sidewall of the card slot base 4 in the width direction can be provided with at least two card slot portions 42. When it is necessary to replace the card, and it is not necessary to completely remove the entire card slot base 4 from the protective sleeve body 1, the card slot base 4 can be pushed away from the first card slot portion 42 until the second card slot portion 42 is engaged in the groove 1212. At this time, the entrance / exit 45 of the entire card slot 43 is exposed outside the limiting portion 44, so that the user can replace the card.

[0081] It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the limiting part 44 located at the upper part of the adjacent card slot 43 is an integral structure, so as to better constrain the card in the longitudinal direction.

[0082] Furthermore, in one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the surface of the protective case body 1 has a number of heat dissipation holes 13 extending from its back side 12 to its front side 11. The heat dissipation holes 13 are used to facilitate the timely dissipation of heat generated by the game console body during operation when the protective case body 1 is equipped with the game console body.

[0083] In summary, the game console protective case of this technical solution allows the game controller to bend and rotate relative to the protective case body, so that when it is necessary to remove the game console body, the entire game console body can be exposed, making it easy to remove the game console body. This solves the problem that in the prior art, the assembly of the game console protective case and the game console body is usually an interference fit, which makes it difficult to remove the game console body from the game console protective case.

[0084] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
