Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product technology, and in particular to a protective shell. Background Technology

[0002] As electronic devices become more and more feature-rich and used more frequently, people's requirements for protective cases are no longer limited to simple drop protection. Various protective cases with brackets have appeared on the market. Among them, lens bracket protective cases refer to protective cases with brackets that surround the outside of the lens module.

[0003] As people's demands for shooting quality continue to increase, the size of mobile phone lens modules is generally getting larger and larger. The width of some mobile phone lens modules is almost the width of the mobile phone itself. The lens bracket is wrapped around the outer perimeter of the lens module to avoid obstructing the lens. The increase in the size of the lens module leads to a corresponding increase in the length of the bracket, making the length of the bracket almost the width of the mobile phone. Since the bracket is generally a ring structure and there is not much space to accommodate the lens bracket in the lens module position, the bracket is generally made relatively thin. If the length of the bracket is too long, it will reduce the stability of the bracket when supporting, and it will also affect the adjustment of the support angle of the bracket. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a protective shell to solve the problems in the prior art where the increased size of the lens module leads to an increased bracket length, which in turn reduces the stability of the bracket support and makes it inconvenient to adjust the support angle.

[0005] This application provides a protective shell, including a shell and a bracket connected to the shell. The shell is provided with a camera module clearance hole, and the bracket is arranged circumferentially around the camera module clearance hole.

[0006] The bracket includes a support base connected to the housing and a support member rotatably mounted on the support base. The support base includes a first base body and a second base body located on one side of the first base body. A first clearance space communicating with the camera module clearance hole is formed on the first base body, and a second clearance space communicating with the camera module clearance hole is formed on the second base body. The support member and the first base body are located on the same side of the second base body, and the side of the support member closer to the second base body is rotatably connected to the support base. When the support member is stored in the support base, the support member is stacked on the side of the first base body away from the housing.

[0007] In some embodiments, the protective shell has a length direction and a width direction that are perpendicular to each other, and the size of the protective shell in the length direction is greater than the size in the width direction, and the first base and the second base are arranged along the width direction.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bracket further includes a crossbeam extending along the length direction, the crossbeam being connected to the support base and / or the support member, and the crossbeam being located near the middle of the bracket along the width direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first seat and the second seat are located on opposite sides of the crossbeam, and along the width direction, the length of the first seat is greater than the length of the second seat.

[0010] In some embodiments, the second seat includes a bottom and a protrusion, the bottom being connected to the first seat, the protrusion being located on the side of the bottom away from the housing and protruding out of the first seat, and the support being rotatably connected to the protrusion via the crossbeam.

[0011] In some embodiments, the bottom and the first seat together form a ring structure, the second clearance space is formed on the bottom, and the first clearance space and the second clearance space are connected.

[0012] In some embodiments, the protrusion is U-shaped or C-shaped, and the support is U-shaped or C-shaped;

[0013] The crossbeams are respectively provided on the side of the protrusion near the support member and on the side of the support member near the protrusion. The bracket also includes a connecting assembly, and the two crossbeams are rotatably connected through the connecting assembly; or...

[0014] The support member has the crossbeam on one side near the protrusion and the protrusion on the other side near the support member, while the other side forms an opening. The bracket also includes a connecting assembly connected to the crossbeam, with the connecting assembly partially located within the opening. The crossbeam is rotatably connected to the support member or the protrusion via the connecting assembly; or...

[0015] The protrusion near the support member and the support member near the protrusion are respectively provided with crossbeams. One crossbeam has a receiving groove, and the other crossbeam has a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly is partially located within the receiving groove, and the two crossbeams are rotatably connected by the connecting assembly; or...

[0016] The support member is provided with a crossbeam on one side near the protrusion and the protrusion is provided with an opening on the other side. The crossbeam is located in the opening and is rotatably connected to the support member or the protrusion via a pivot.

[0017] In some embodiments, the height by which the second seat protrudes from the housing is greater than the height by which the first seat protrudes from the housing; when the support member is housed in the support base, the surface of the support member is lower than the surface of the second seat or the surface of the support member is flush with the surface of the second seat; or...

[0018] The second base body has a recessed side away from the housing to form a storage groove, into which the support member can be stored.

[0019] In some embodiments, the bracket further includes a transparent cover plate connected to the second base and covering the second clearance space, wherein the inner side of the second base is provided with a mounting groove, and the transparent cover plate is engaged in the mounting groove.

[0020] In some embodiments, the support member is provided with a protective cover plate, the support member surrounds the outer periphery of the protective cover plate, and the protective cover plate covers the first clearance space.

[0021] The protective shell provided by this utility model includes a base comprising a first base and a second base, with a support member located on the same side of the second base as the first base. The side of the support member closer to the second base is rotatably connected to the support base, which is positioned around the camera module clearance hole. The support member is stacked on the side of the first base away from the shell. By dividing the base into two parts, the length of the support member depends on the length of the first base. The lengths of the first and second bases can be adjusted according to different lens modules. Therefore, even if the size of the lens module increases, the length of the support member can be controlled within a suitable range, thus preventing problems such as reduced support stability and inconvenience in adjusting the support angle due to excessive support member length.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0035] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship between the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0036] It should also be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to" or "set on" another component, the component may be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component present. When a component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component present.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a protective case 100, which is worn by the user on the outside of an electronic device to protect the electronic device. The electronic device can be a mobile phone 200, or a tablet computer or other electronic devices. The following description takes a mobile phone 200 as an example.

[0039] The protective case 100 includes a housing 10 and a bracket 12 connected to the housing 10. The housing 10 has a storage cavity 14 and a camera module clearance hole 16 communicating with the storage cavity 14. The storage cavity 14 is used to store the mobile phone 200 so that the protective case 100 is fitted over the outside of the mobile phone 200. When the mobile phone 200 is stored in the storage cavity 14, the camera module clearance hole 16 corresponds to the camera module 202 of the mobile phone 200, preventing the housing 10 from obstructing the camera module 202 and affecting the shooting function of the mobile phone 200. The bracket 12 is mounted on the housing 10 and is arranged circumferentially around the camera module clearance hole 16. The bracket 12 can rotate relative to the housing 10 at a certain angle, thereby providing support for the housing 10 and the mobile phone 200 located inside the housing 10. It is understandable that the camera module avoidance hole 16 can also be used to avoid other functional modules, such as some sensor modules on the mobile phone. In this application, it is not limited to avoiding the camera module of the mobile phone. It is just an example of the camera module to make it easier to understand the technical solution of this application.

[0040] It should be noted that the bracket 12 is arranged circumferentially around the camera module clearance hole 16. This can be understood as the bracket 12 being arranged all around the camera module clearance hole 16, or it can be that only a portion of the circumference of the camera module clearance hole 16 is surrounded by the bracket 12. For example, the bracket 12 can be installed on the side of the housing 10 away from the storage cavity 14 and surround the outer periphery of the camera module clearance hole 16. Alternatively, a portion of the bracket 12 can be installed inside the camera module clearance hole 16, and another portion can be arranged along the circumference of the camera module clearance hole 16. As long as the bracket 12 can surround the outer periphery of the camera module 202 to prevent obstruction of the camera module 202, it is acceptable.

[0041] The shape of the camera module clearance hole 16 is not limited and can be designed according to the shape of the camera module 202 on the mobile phone 200. For example, when the camera module 202 is rectangular, the camera module clearance hole 16 can be a rectangular hole; when the camera module 202 is circular, the camera module clearance hole 16 can be a circular hole. In this application, a rectangular hole is used as an example for illustration.

[0042] The bracket 12 protrudes from the side of the housing 10 away from the storage cavity 14. Since the camera module 202 protrudes from the back of the mobile phone 200, when the mobile phone 200 is stored in the storage cavity 14, the bracket 12 is set around the camera module avoidance hole 16. Therefore, the bracket 12 will surround the outer periphery of the camera module 202, thereby protecting the camera module 202. When the mobile phone is placed on the table with the camera module 202 facing the table, the risk of the camera module 202 being scratched can be effectively reduced.

[0043] Preferably, the height of the bracket 12 protruding from the housing 10 on the side away from the storage cavity 14 is greater than the height of the camera module 202 protruding from the housing 10 on the side away from the storage cavity 14, so as to prevent the camera module 202 from protruding from the outside of the bracket 12 and further reduce the risk of the camera module 202 being scratched.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bracket 12 includes a support base 18 and a support member 20. The support base 18 is connected to the housing 10 and is arranged around the camera module clearance hole 16. The support member 20 is rotatably mounted on the support base 18, so the support member 20 can rotate relative to the support base 18, that is, relative to the housing 10. The support member 20 has a supporting state and a retracted state, which can be switched between the supporting state and the retracted state by rotating relative to the support base 18. When it is necessary to support the mobile phone 200, one end of the support member 20 can be rotated at a certain angle away from the support base 18, so that the support member 20 and the support base 18, i.e., the housing 10, form an angle, so that the support member 20 is in the supporting state, and the support member 20 can be used to support the mobile phone 200. When it is not necessary to support the mobile phone 200, the support member 20 can be rotated in the opposite direction to retract the support member 20 into the support base 18, so that the support member 20 is in the retracted state, reducing the obtrusiveness of the support member 20, and making it convenient to hold and carry.

[0045] The support base 18 has a storage part 22 on the side away from the housing 10. The support member 20 is rotatably installed in the storage part 22. When the support member 20 is needed, it can be rotated out of the storage part 22. When the support member 20 is not needed, it can be stored in the storage part 22. At this time, the support member 20 is in a stored state, so as to reduce the overall thickness of the bracket 12 and correspondingly reduce the overall thickness of the protective shell 100.

[0046] Optionally, the size of the support member 20 is adapted to the size of the storage part 22. When the support member 20 is stored in the storage part 22, the outer surface of the support member 20 is flush with the corresponding outer surface of the support base 18 to further reduce the obtrusiveness of the support member 20. At this time, the thickness of the bracket 12 is the maximum thickness of the support base 18.

[0047] The support base 18 includes a first base 24 and a second base 26 located on one side of the first base 24. The first base 24 and the second base 26 are fixed relative to each other. The first base 24 is provided with a first clearance space 27, and the second base 26 is provided with a second clearance space 28. The first clearance space 27 and the second clearance space 28 are respectively connected to the camera module clearance hole 16 to prevent the support base 18 from obstructing the camera module 202. The support member 20 is located on the same side of the first base 24 and the first base 24, and the side of the support member 20 closer to the second base 26 is rotatably connected to the support base 18. When the support member 20 is stored in the support base 18, that is, when the support member 20 is in the stored state, the support member 20 is stacked on the side of the first base 24 away from the housing 10. By dividing the support base 18 into two parts, a first base 24 and a second base 26, the support member 20 is rotatably connected to either the first base 24 or the second base 26 on the side closer to the second base 26. The support base 18 is arranged around the camera module clearance hole 16, while the support member 20 is located on one side of the second base 26 and stacked with the first base 24. Along the arrangement direction of the first base 24 and the second base 26, the length of the support member 20 is less than the length of the support base 18, i.e., the length of the camera module clearance hole 16. The support member 20 does not need to surround the entire periphery of the camera module. The length of the support member 20 depends on the length of the first base 24. Therefore, the relative lengths of the first base 24 and the second base 26 can be set according to different lens modules. Thus, when the size of the lens module changes, the length of the support member 20 can be controlled within a suitable range, thereby preventing the support member 20 from becoming too long due to the increase in the size of the camera module, which would reduce the support stability of the support member 20 and make it inconvenient to adjust the support angle.

[0048] Optionally, the first seat 24 and the second seat 26 are integrally formed to achieve a fixed connection and ensure connection strength.

[0049] Optionally, along the arrangement direction of the first base 24 and the second base 26, the length of the first base 24 is greater than the length of the second base 26, and the length of the support member 20 is the same as or slightly less than the length of the first base 24. This arrangement ensures that the length of the support member 20 is within an optimal range, neither too short nor too long. Furthermore, the lengths of the first base 24 and the second base 26 can be adjusted as needed to keep the length of the support member 20 within the optimal range.

[0050] The housing 10 has mutually perpendicular length directions Y and width directions X. The length direction Y of the housing 10 is consistent with the length direction of the mobile phone 200, and the width direction X of the housing 10 is consistent with the width direction of the mobile phone 200. The dimension of the housing 10 in the length direction Y is larger than the dimension of the housing 10 in the width direction X. The camera module clearance hole 16 is provided at one end of the housing 10 in the length direction Y. The first base 24 and the second base 26 are arranged along the width direction X. The first base 24 and the support member 20 are located on one side of the second base 26 in the width direction X. By setting the first base 24 and the second base 26 to be arranged along the width direction X, the mobile phone can be placed horizontally on the support surface under the support of the support member 20. Since the dimension of the housing 10 in the width direction X is smaller than the dimension in the length direction Y, the length of the support member 20 required to form the horizontal support is relatively small, which can ensure the stability of the support. At the same time, the bracket 12 can be used for both mobile phones with relatively small camera modules and mobile phones with relatively large camera modules, making it more versatile.

[0051] In an optional example, on the width direction X of the housing 10, one side of the camera module 202 of the mobile phone 200 is a camera module with multiple cameras, and the other side is an auxiliary module with structures such as a flash, an infrared camera, and a noise reduction hole. The first clearance space 27 avoids the camera module, and the second clearance space 28 avoids the auxiliary module.

[0052] Along the width direction X of the housing, the size of the first base 24 is larger than the size of the second base 26. The size of the support member 20 in the width direction X is consistent with or nearly consistent with the size of the first base 24. Therefore, the size of the support member 20 in the width direction X is greater than half the size of the bracket 12 in the width direction X and smaller than the size of the bracket 12 in the width direction X, so as to prevent the size of the support member 20 in the width direction X from being too large or too small.

[0053] In this embodiment, the height of the second seat 26 protruding from the housing 10 is greater than the height of the first seat 24 protruding from the housing 10, forming a step-like structure. This allows the support seat 18 to form a storage portion 22 on the side of the first seat 24 away from the housing 10. The circumferential dimension of the storage portion 22 is the same as the circumferential dimension of the first seat 24. When the support member 20 is not in use, it can be stored in the storage portion 22. At this time, the surface of the support member 20 is lower than or flush with the surface of the second seat 26, so as to reduce the overall volume of the bracket 12 when it is not in use, and also to facilitate the removal of the support member 20 from the storage portion 22.

[0054] In other embodiments, the height of the second seat 26 protruding from the housing 10 may be equal to or less than the height of the first seat 24. In this case, a storage groove may be provided on the side of the first seat 24 away from the housing 10. The circumferential dimension of the storage groove is less than the circumferential dimension of the first seat 24 and greater than or equal to the circumferential dimension of the support member 20. When the support member 20 is not in use, it can be stored in the storage groove.

[0055] In one embodiment, the bracket 12 further includes a transparent cover plate 30, which is disposed in the second clearance space 28 of the second seat 26. The transparent cover plate 30 is, for example, a glass plate that allows light to pass through. The transparent cover plate 30 covers the auxiliary module of the camera module 202, so that the transparent cover plate 20 can further enhance the protection effect of the camera module 202 without affecting the normal use of the camera module 202.

[0056] The inner side of the second base 26 is provided with a mounting groove 32. The periphery of the transparent cover plate 30 is inserted into the mounting groove 32 to be locked in the mounting groove 32, thereby installing the transparent cover plate 30 to the second base 26.

[0057] Optionally, along the thickness direction of the housing 10 perpendicular to the length direction Y and the width direction X, the mounting groove 32 and the two side surfaces of the second seat 26 are spaced a certain distance apart, so that after the periphery of the transparent cover 30 is inserted into the mounting groove 32, the second seat 26 can limit the transparent cover 30 in the thickness direction to prevent the transparent cover 30 from separating from the second seat 26.

[0058] In this embodiment, the support base 18 is partially located inside the camera module clearance hole 16 and partially protrudes outside the camera module clearance hole 16. The outer wall of the support base 18 is provided with a groove 34, and the inner wall of the camera module clearance hole 16 is provided with a corresponding protrusion 36. The protrusion 36 is inserted into the groove 34, thereby mounting the support base 18 on the housing 10.

[0059] Along the thickness direction of the housing 10, the groove 34 and the two side surfaces of the support 18 are spaced a certain distance apart. Therefore, after the protrusion 36 is inserted into the groove 34, it can limit the support 18 in the thickness direction and prevent the support 18 from separating from the housing 10.

[0060] In other embodiments, the positions of the protrusion 36 and the groove 34 can be interchanged. That is, the groove 34 is provided on the inner wall of the camera module clearance hole 16, and the protrusion 36 is provided on the outer wall of the support base 18. Alternatively, the support base 18 and the housing 10 can be fixed by other means such as adhesive fixing or mechanical fixing.

[0061] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In one embodiment, the bracket 12 further includes a crossbeam 37 extending along the length direction Y of the housing 10. The crossbeam 37 is connected to the support base 18 and / or the support member 20. The crossbeam 37 is located near the middle of the bracket 12 in the width direction X of the housing 10. The first base 24 and the second base 26 extend along the width direction X of the housing 10 and are respectively located on opposite sides of the crossbeam 37. The crossbeam 37 extends along the length direction Y, which is perpendicular to the width direction X. Therefore, it can support the opposite sides of the support member and / or support base in the length direction Y, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the bracket and reducing the risk of easy deformation due to the large size of the bracket in the width direction X.

[0062] The camera module and the functional module of the camera module 202 are spaced a certain distance apart in the width direction X of the housing 10. The crossbeam 37 is located between the camera module and the functional module of the camera module 202 to prevent the crossbeam 37 from blocking the camera module and the functional module, thereby preventing the crossbeam 37 from affecting the normal use of the camera module 202.

[0063] Understandably, the extension of the crossbeam 37 along the length direction Y of the housing 10 can mean that the extension direction of the crossbeam 37 is consistent with the length direction Y of the housing 10, or it can mean that the extension direction of the crossbeam 37 forms an angle with the length direction Y of the housing 10, and the angle is less than 45°. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the crossbeam 37 is consistent with the length direction Y of the housing 10, that is, the extension direction of the crossbeam 37 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the first seat 24 and the second seat 26.

[0064] In one embodiment, the crossbeam 37 is disposed on the support member 20 and / or the second seat 26. The support member 20 is rotatably connected to the second seat 26 through the crossbeam 37, so that the crossbeam 37 can not only enhance the strength of the bracket 12, but also connect the support member 20 and the support seat 18, and enhance the overall strength of the support member 20 and the second seat 26 at the connection.

[0065] The second seat 26 includes a bottom 261 and a protrusion 262. The bottom 261 is connected to the first seat 24. The protrusion 262 is located on the side of the bottom 261 away from the housing 10 and protrudes out of the first seat 24, so that the overall thickness of the second seat 26 is greater than the thickness of the first seat 24 to form a storage part 22. The support member 20 is rotatably connected to the protrusion 262 through the crossbeam 37.

[0066] Optionally, the first seat 24, the bottom 261, and the protrusion 262 are integrally formed to ensure the overall strength of the support seat 18.

[0067] The bottom 261 and the first base 24 are U-shaped or C-shaped, respectively. A first clearance space 27 is provided in the first base 24, and a second clearance space 28 is provided in the bottom 261. Openings are formed on the side of the bottom 261 facing the first base 24 and the side of the first base 24 facing the bottom 261, respectively. That is, openings are formed on the sides of the first clearance space 27 and the second clearance space 28 that are close to each other. After the bottom 261 and the first base 24 are connected, their openings are interconnected, thereby connecting the first clearance space 27 and the second clearance space 28. The bottom 261 and the first base 24 together form a ring structure and are arranged around the camera module clearance hole 16. The crossbeam 37 is provided on the support member 20 and / or the protrusion 262, that is, the crossbeam 37 is not provided in the ring structure, but is located on the side of the ring structure away from the camera module.

[0068] When both the bottom 261 and the first base 24 are C-shaped, they together form a ring-like structure resembling a circle. When both the bottom 261 and the first base 24 are U-shaped, they together form a ring-like structure resembling a rectangle. In this application, the bottom 261 and the first base 24 are U-shaped, and together they form a ring-like structure resembling a rectangle.

[0069] In one embodiment, the protrusion 262 is U-shaped or C-shaped, and the support member 20 is U-shaped or C-shaped. When the protrusion 262 is U-shaped, the support member 20 is also U-shaped, and when the protrusion 262 is C-shaped, the support member 20 is also C-shaped.

[0070] A crossbeam 37 is provided on the side of the protrusion 262 near the support member 20 and on the side of the support member 20 near the protrusion 262. The protrusion 262 and the corresponding crossbeam 37, as well as the support member 20 and the corresponding crossbeam 37, form a D-shaped structure. The crossbeam 37 on the protrusion 262 is rotatably connected to the crossbeam 37 on the support member 20, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the support member 20 and the support base 18.

[0071] The specific method by which the two crossbeams 37 are rotatably connected is not limited. In this embodiment, the bracket 12 also includes a connecting component 38, which is connected to both the crossbeam 37 on the protrusion 262 and the crossbeam 37 on the support member 20. The two crossbeams 37 are rotatably connected through the connecting component 38. In this embodiment, the connecting component 38 is a hinge structure. The connecting component 38 includes a first connecting seat 40, a second connecting seat 42, and a rotating shaft 44. The first connecting seat 40 is fixed relative to the crossbeam 37 on the support member 20, and the second connecting seat 42 is fixed relative to the crossbeam 37 on the protrusion 262. The rotating shaft 44 passes through the first connecting seat 40 and the second connecting seat 42, and the first connecting seat 40 is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat 42 through the rotating shaft 44. The first connecting seat 40 and the second connecting seat 42 are respectively fixed relative to the support member 20 and the crossbeam 37 on the protrusion 262, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the support member 20 and the protrusion 262, so that the support member 20 and the first connecting seat 40 as a whole can rotate relative to the protrusion 262 around the rotating shaft 44.

[0072] Optionally, the first connecting seat 40 and the second connecting seat 42 are respectively fixed to the crossbeam 37 of the support member 20 and the crossbeam 37 on the protrusion 262 by riveting.

[0073] The first connecting seat 40 includes a main body 46 and two connecting parts 48 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the main body 46. The main body 46 is fixed relative to the crossbeam 37 of the support member 20. The two connecting parts 48 are disposed at intervals relative to each other. The second connecting seat 42 is partially connected to the crossbeam 37 on the protrusion 262 and partially located between the two connecting parts 48. The two connecting parts 48 are respectively connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 44.

[0074] Understandably, in order to enable the support member 20 to hover at any angle, a damping structure can be provided between the rotating shaft 44 and the first connecting seat 40 and / or the second connecting seat 42 to enhance the friction between the rotating shaft 44 and the first connecting seat 40 and / or the second connecting seat 42, so that the support member 20 can be positioned in the corresponding position after rotating at a certain angle, thereby enhancing the stability in the supported state and facilitating the adjustment of the support angle.

[0076] Please see Figure 5The main difference between the protective shell provided in this embodiment and the protective shell provided in Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, a crossbeam 37 is provided on the side of the protrusion 262 near the support member 20, and the protrusion 262 and the crossbeam 37 together form a D-shape. An opening 49 is formed on the side of the support member 20 near the protrusion 262. The support member 20 is located on the outer side of the crossbeam 37 away from the protrusion 262. The bracket 12 also includes a connecting component 38. The connecting component 38 is partially connected to the crossbeam 37 and partially located in the opening 49 and connected to the support member 20. The support member 20 is rotatably connected to the crossbeam 37 through the connecting component 38.

[0077] The connecting assembly 38 includes a first connecting seat 40 fixed relative to the support member 20, a second connecting seat 42 fixed relative to the crossbeam 37, and a rotating shaft 44 passing through the first connecting seat 40 and the second connecting seat 42. There are two first connecting seats 40, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the support member 40 near the opening 49. The second connecting seat 42 is partially located between the two first connecting seats 40. The middle part of the rotating shaft 44 is connected to the second connecting seat 42, and the two ends are respectively connected to the two first connecting seats 40. The second connecting seat 42 is rotatably connected to the two first connecting seats 40 through the rotating shaft 44.

[0078] In another embodiment, the crossbeam can be disposed on the side of the support member near the protrusion, and the side of the protrusion near the support member forms an opening. The connecting component is connected to the crossbeam on the support member, and part of it is located in the opening of the protrusion and connected to the protrusion. The crossbeam is rotatably connected to the protrusion through the connecting component, which can also realize the rotatable connection between the support member and the protrusion.

[0079] Example 3

[0080] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The main difference between the protective shell provided in this embodiment and the protective shells provided in other embodiments is that, in this embodiment, the support member 20 is provided with a protective cover plate 52, the support member 20 surrounds the outer periphery of the protective cover plate 52, the protective cover plate 52 is relatively fixed with the support member 20 and covers the first clearance space 27, thereby covering the camera module of the camera module to enhance the protection effect of the camera module.

[0081] Understandably, the protective cover 52 can be either a transparent plate or a solid-color plate. When the protective cover 52 is a transparent plate, since the transparent plate allows light to pass through, it will not affect the lighting of the camera module. Therefore, when the support member 20 is stored on the support base 18, it will not affect the use of the camera module. When the protective cover 52 is a solid-color plate, since the solid-color plate cannot transmit light, it will affect the lighting of the camera module. Therefore, when using the camera module, it is necessary to first rotate the support member 20. The support member 20 drives the protective cover 52 to rotate so that the solid-color plate no longer blocks the camera module of the camera module.

[0082] In this embodiment, the inner side of the support member 20 is provided with a limiting groove 54, and the periphery of the protective cover plate 52 is inserted into the limiting groove 54, thereby forming a limiting effect on the protective cover plate 52 and preventing the protective cover plate 52 from separating from the support member 20.

[0083] Example 4

[0084] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The main difference between the protective shell provided in this embodiment and the protective shell provided in Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the side of the protrusion 262 near the support member 20 and the side of the support member 20 near the protrusion 262 are respectively provided with crossbeams 37. The protrusion 262 and the corresponding crossbeams 37, and the support member 20 and the corresponding crossbeams 37 respectively form a D-shaped form. The crossbeams 37 on the support member 20 are provided with receiving grooves 58, and the crossbeams 37 on the protrusion 262 are provided with connecting components 38. The connecting components 38 are partially connected to the crossbeams 37 on the protrusion 262 and partially located in the receiving grooves 58 of the crossbeams 37 on the support member 20. The two crossbeams 37 are rotatably connected through the connecting components 38, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the support member 20 and the protrusion 262.

[0085] The connecting assembly 38 includes a connecting seat 56 and a rotating shaft 44. The two opposite walls of the receiving groove 58 are respectively provided with shaft holes 60. The connecting seat 56 is partially fixed relative to the crossbeam 37 on the protrusion 262 and partially located in the receiving groove 58. The middle part of the rotating shaft 44 passes through the part of the connecting seat 56 located in the receiving groove 58, and both ends pass through the shaft holes 60 on the groove wall of the receiving groove 58, so that the crossbeam 37 on the support member 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 56 through the rotating shaft 44.

[0086] In another embodiment, the receiving groove can be provided on the crossbeam on the protrusion, and the crossbeam on the support is connected to the connecting assembly, which is partially located in the receiving groove, so that the two crossbeams can also be rotatably connected through the connecting assembly.

[0087] Example 5

[0088] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The main difference between the protective shell provided in this embodiment and the protective shell provided in Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, the support member 20 has a crossbeam 37 on the side near the protrusion 262, and the protrusion 262 forms an opening 49 on the side near the support member 20. The crossbeam 37 is located within the opening 49 and is rotatably connected to the protrusion 262 via a pivot 44.

[0089] Shaft holes 60 are provided on the two inner walls opposite to the opening 49 and on the crossbeam 37 respectively. The middle part of the rotating shaft 44 passes through the shaft hole 60 of the crossbeam 37, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 44 pass through the shaft holes 60 on the inner wall of the opening 49 respectively, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the crossbeam 37, i.e. the support member 20 and the protrusion 262.

[0090] In this embodiment, the two inner walls opposite to the opening 49 form inclined surfaces, and the two inclined surfaces extend toward the support member 20 in a manner that gradually increases in distance, so that the size of the side of the opening 49 closer to the support member 20 is relatively large, so that the crossbeam 37 on the support member 20 can enter the opening 49.

[0091] In another embodiment, the crossbeam can also be located on the side of the protrusion close to the support member, and the side of the support member close to the protrusion forms an opening. The crossbeam on the protrusion is located in the opening and is rotatably connected to the support member through a pivot, which can also achieve the rotatable connection between the support member and the protrusion.

[0092] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
