Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, and in particular to a decorative piece structure around the buttons on a mobile phone case. Background Technology
[0002] Decorative pieces are decorative sheet structures placed around the buttons on phone cases during button installation, serving a decorative purpose. To fit the button structure and achieve a metallic feel, decorative pieces are made of metal. Current manufacturing processes typically use a single sheet of aluminum alloy. However, with an aluminum alloy thickness of approximately 0.55mm and a small cross-sectional area, it's difficult to allow for flexible restoration of the original geometric shape after twisting. Furthermore, the bonding strength between the aluminum alloy and the PC material of the phone case using hot melt adhesive is inherently weak. Figure 5 During the torsion test of the phone case shown, the decorative piece easily falls off, failing to achieve true fixation and exhibiting poor stability, leading to the need for rework or scrapping of the product.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a decorative piece structure for the button perimeter of a mobile phone case, comprising a main shell 1, a decorative piece 2, and a button 3. The decorative piece 2 is mounted on the main shell 1 and has a button hole 9. The button 3 is connected to the decorative piece 2, with its bottom passing through the button hole 9 and connecting to the main shell 1. The decorative piece 2 is composed of a metal sheet 4 and a PC sheet 5, with the metal sheet 4 connected to the PC sheet 5. The bottom of the PC sheet 5 is connected to the main shell 1, and the metal sheet 4 contacts the button 3. The original single aluminum alloy sheet is adjusted to a structure with two joined sides: a thinner aluminum alloy sheet on top and a PC sheet 5 on the bottom. Utilizing the high resilience of the thin aluminum alloy sheet and the impact resistance of the PC sheet 5, the combined decorative piece 2 can meet the requirements of the torsion test. The button 3 passes through the decorative piece 2 and is riveted to the main shell 1 for installation.
[0020] The main body shell 1 is covered with a double-layer PU layer 6. The outer layer of the PU layer 6 on the side of the main body shell 1 has decorative holes, and the inner layer of the PU layer 6 corresponding to the decorative holes has a riveting piece 8. The decorative piece 2 is connected to the decorative hole, and the bottom of the button 3 is connected to the riveting piece 8. The PC material main body shell 1 is geometrically covered with PU layers 6 inside and out to form the finished main body shell 1. The bottom of the button 3 is riveted to the riveting piece 8 of the finished main body shell 1. Finally, the decorative piece 2 assembly is hot-pressed onto the finished main body shell 1. The order is as follows: the top layer is aluminum alloy with a thickness of 0.3mm, the bottom layer is hot-pressed with hot melt adhesive 7 and PC sheet 5 with a thickness of 0.25mm, and finally hot melt adhesive 7 is applied.
[0021] The main shell 1 is made of PC material. The bottom of the PC sheet 5 is connected to the main shell 1 with hot melt adhesive 7. After the PC sheet 5 of the decorative piece 2 is connected to the PC material main shell 1 with hot melt adhesive 7, the connection between the two is relatively stronger.
[0022] Metal sheet 4 is connected to PC sheet 5 via hot melt adhesive 7. Metal sheet 4 is made of aluminum alloy. The aluminum alloy sheet and PC sheet 5 are bonded together using a hot pressing process with hot melt adhesive 7 to form decorative sheet 2.
[0023] The thickness ratio of metal sheet 4 to PC sheet 5 is 3:2.5. The decorative sheet 2 has an aluminum alloy top with a thickness of 0.3mm and a PC sheet 5 bottom with a thickness of 0.25mm. Hot melt adhesive 7 is applied to the top of the PC sheet 5 and hot-pressed together with the aluminum alloy top. Hot melt adhesive 7 is also applied to the bottom of the PC sheet 5 for hot-pressing together with the PC material of the main shell 1, thus completing the decorative sheet 2 assembly.
[0024] The area around button 3 is surrounded by an anodized aluminum alloy decorative piece 2, which gives it a more textured, high-end, and aesthetically pleasing appearance. However, this individual decorative piece 2 is attached to the main body shell 1 (PC material) with adhesive. After the product is finished, the button... Figure 5 The decorative piece 2 is prone to detachment when twisted and bent in the direction of the arrow shown. This is because the total thickness of the aluminum alloy decorative piece 2 is only 0.55mm. With an aluminum alloy thickness of approximately 0.5mm and a small cross-sectional area, it is difficult for it to elastically return to its original geometric shape after twisting. Furthermore, the connection between the aluminum and PC using hot melt adhesive is inherently weak. Therefore, the decorative piece 2 easily detaches during the twisting test of the button 3 head. This invention modifies the structure of the decorative piece 2, dividing it into two layers. The upper layer is still aluminum alloy, but with a thickness of 0.3mm. The lower layer is a 0.25mm PC sheet 5, connected by hot melt adhesive 7. This approach utilizes the material properties and thickness to alter the elasticity principle. The 0.3mm thickness of the aluminum alloy significantly improves its twisting resilience within a certain range. Additionally, the PC sheet 5 has high impact resistance and resilience. Furthermore, the hot melt adhesive 7 provides a stronger connection between the PC sheet 5 and the PC material of the main shell 1, resulting in a better connection effect. From verification to production twisting tests, it can be fixed and is not prone to detachment, meeting the structural fixation requirements.
[0025] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
