Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of car key protective shell technology, and more particularly to an assembled car key protective shell. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, car start keys are mostly detachably housed within the storage space of a car model. For example, patent publication number CN209917258U discloses a connecting device for holding a car start key. By setting a window structure on the top cover of the car model, the start key's switch button can be exposed outside the model. It is secured by a three-point connection: a fixing buckle with a fixing hole on the top cover, and two fixing screw holes with two fixing studs on the top cover. This greatly simplifies the connection and disassembly process, saving time for replacing consumable parts inside the start key. However, the switch button is directly exposed outside the connecting device, making it prone to dirt and damage. Furthermore, assembling the connecting device requires auxiliary tools (such as screwdrivers), and disassembling and replacing consumable parts is time-consuming and laborious, failing to further improve assembly and disassembly efficiency.

In other embodiments of this invention, the snap-fit opening 131 can be adjusted to include only the fastening groove 1312.
[0026] In this embodiment, each segment housing is further provided with a positioning port 141 or a positioning block 142 along its end wall edge, wherein the shape of the positioning port 141 is the same as that of the positioning block 142 and the two can be connected in a concave-convex fit. This arrangement enables rapid positioning between any two segment housings and also improves the connection strength between any two segment housings, making the structure of the main frame 100 more stable. In other embodiments of this utility model, each segment housing may not have a positioning port 141 and a positioning block 142.
[0027] In this embodiment, the main frame 100 includes a first segment shell 110 and a second segment shell 120. The two end walls of the first segment shell 110 are respectively provided with a snap-fit opening 131 and a positioning block 142. The two end walls of the second segment shell 120 are respectively provided with a snap-fit block 132 and a positioning opening 141 at positions corresponding to the snap-fit opening 131 and the positioning block 142. It can be understood that the main frame 100 is shaped like a train head, which improves the aesthetics of the protective shell and increases its attractiveness. A rope hole 150 is provided on each of the opposite sides of the main frame 100 to facilitate the installation of a carrying rope or accessories on the protective shell.
[0028] In other embodiments of this utility model, a third segment shell can be added to the main frame 100 based on the first segment shell 110 and the second segment shell 120. A latching opening 131 is provided at one end wall edge of the first segment shell 110, the second segment shell 120, and the third segment shell, while a latching block 132 is provided at the other end wall edge. Simultaneously, the appearance of the main frame 100 can be configured with other shapes, such as a spaceship shape. The main frame 100 may not have a rope-threading hole 150.
[0029] It is understood that a first window 1 and a second window 2 are formed on opposite sides of the main frame 100, respectively. The shape of the first window 1 is adapted to the closed cover 200, and the shape of the second window 2 is adapted to the button cover 300. In this embodiment, a first clearance step 11 is provided along the inner wall of the first window 1, and the closed cover 200 can be engaged on the first clearance step 11 to prevent the closed cover 200 from detaching from the main frame 100. A second clearance step 21 is provided along the inner wall of the second window 2, and the button cover 300 can be engaged on the second clearance step 21 to prevent the button cover 300 from detaching from the main frame 100.

[0030] The wall edge of the closed cover 200 extends outward at least partially to form a first step 210, which is adapted to engage with a first clearance step 11. There are multiple button covers 300, each with a wall edge extending outward at least partially to form a second step 310, which is adapted to engage with a second clearance step 21. It can be understood that each button cover 300 has a protruding contact block 320 on the side opposite to the second step 310. The contact block 320 is in contact with the switch button of the car key, allowing for convenient pressing of the corresponding switch button when the button cover 300 is moved by force.
[0031] In this embodiment, there are three button covers 300, and the three button covers 300 are different in shape and size. One of the three button covers 300 has a through hole 330. In other embodiments of this utility model, the number of button covers 300 can be adjusted to two or more, and the multiple button covers 300 can be set to have the same shape and size. The through hole 330 may not be provided on the button covers 300.
[0032] It should be noted that the installation process of the assembled car key protective case provided in this embodiment is as follows: First, the second steps 310 of the multiple button covers 300 are placed on the second clearance steps 21 of the second window 2. Then, the car key is placed inside the first segment housing 110, so that the switch buttons of the car key abut against the contact blocks 320 of each button cover 300. Subsequently, the first step 210 of the closing cover 200 is inserted into the first segment housing 110 along the first clearance step 11. Finally, the second segment housing 120 is snapped onto the first segment housing 110, thus completely enclosing and connecting the car key inside the protective case. If it is necessary to disassemble the car key, the above steps are reversed.
[0033] For clarity, certain features described in individual embodiments of the present invention may be used in combination in a single embodiment. Furthermore, various features of the present invention described in individual embodiments may also be used individually or in any suitable form in sub-combinations.
