[0041] The base 10 has one side installed inside the electronic device protective case in the camera area, and the other side exposed to the outside, with the exposed side being the snap-fit ​​side.

[0042] The filter connector includes a mounting base 20, one side of which is detachably snapped into the mounting side of the base 10, and a filter lens 60 and / or filter body is provided on the other side; a pair of symmetrically arranged locking strips 30 are provided on the side surface of the mounting base 20 that is snapped into the mounting side, and a locking groove 31 is formed in the locking strip 30. The two side edges of the mounting side of the base 10 are introduced from the outside of the locking groove 31 and fit into the end of the locking groove 31 from the outside to the inside.

[0043] This utility model provides a filter assembly for electronic devices. Through an innovative snap-fit ​​connection structure, it solves the technical problems of inconvenient installation, poor stability, and troublesome filter replacement of existing external filters for electronic devices. In use, one side of the base 10 passes through the hole corresponding to the camera area on the electronic device protective case and is fixed to the inside of the electronic device protective case, while the other side remains on the outside of the electronic device protective case, exposed as the snap-fit ​​side. The filter connector includes a mounting base 20 and a filter lens 60 / filter body. A pair of locking strips 30 are provided on one side of the mounting base 20, and a slot 31 is formed in the locking strip 30. When the filter is needed, the mounting base 20 is snapped into the base 10 and fixedly connected to the base 10. Specifically, the slot 31 of the mounting base 20 is snapped into the slot 31 from the outside to the inside and pushed in until the end, thus installing the filter connector on the base 10.

The clamping plate 70 is fixed to this side to form a clamping space between the two, and the filter lens 60 is placed in the clamping space. The outer edge of the inner side of the clamping plate 70 is threaded to the side of the mounting base 20 away from the base 10; the mounting base 20 has a clamping countersunk on the side away from the base 10; the outer edge of the inner side of the clamping plate 70 is threaded to the upper edge 51 of the clamping countersunk.

[0048] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this utility model application, such as Figure 11 , 12 As shown, the filter connector is a CPL filter. The filter body is fixedly connected to the mounting base 20 on the side away from the base 10. A first lens 80 is clamped between the filter body and the mounting base 20. A second lens 90 is disposed inside the filter body. The two filter lenses 60 are a linear polarizer and a quarter-wave plate, respectively. The filter body includes a bottom frame 100 and an upper frame 110, and the second lens 90 is clamped between the bottom frame 100 and the upper frame 110.

[0049] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this utility model application, such as Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the base 10 and the mounting base 20 are provided with magnetic attraction components on their interlocking end faces, which enhance the connection stability between the base 10 and the filter connector.
