Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of components for connecting devices, and more particularly to an electronic device accessory. Background Technology

[0002] Chargers, power banks, and other electronic device accessories typically have prongs, which act as electrical connectors to connect to an external power source. In related technologies, the prongs are fixedly connected to one side wall of the housing, and the extension direction of the prongs is perpendicular to the wall of the housing for inserting an external power source.

[0003] However, the plug itself is relatively long, meaning the protrusion of the plug relative to the housing is quite long. When not in use, the protruding plug makes electronic device accessories take up a lot of space and difficult to store. Furthermore, the plug is very easy to get tangled or collide with external objects, which may damage itself and affect normal use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an electronic device accessory in which the electrical connector can rotate and be positioned relative to the housing, thereby facilitating the use and storage of the electrical connector.

[0005] This application provides an electronic device accessory, including: a housing; a rotation positioning assembly including a rotating shaft, an elastic element, a first engaging structure, and a second engaging structure, wherein the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the housing, the first engaging structure is disposed on the rotating shaft, and the second engaging structure is disposed on the housing and located on the rotation path of the first engaging structure, the elastic element being configured to engage or disengage the first engaging structure and the second engaging structure at their engaging positions by extending or retracting itself; and an electrical connector connected to the rotating shaft; wherein the second engaging structure provides at least two engaging positions.

[0006] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, since the rotating shaft connected to the electrical connector is rotatably connected to the housing, the electrical connector can rotate relative to the housing. When in use, the electrical connector can be rotated to a position perpendicular to the housing wall to facilitate insertion into a power source; when not in use, the electrical connector can be rotated to a position parallel to the housing wall. This helps reduce the probability of the electrical connector becoming entangled or colliding with external objects, and also helps reduce the space occupied by electronic device accessories, facilitating their storage. Because the second engaging structure provides two engaging positions, and the first engaging structure can engage in the engaging position under the action of the elastic member, the electrical connector can be positioned when rotated to the engaging position. This helps prevent the electrical connector from shaking during use or storage, thereby maintaining a stable connection with the external power source or a stable storage state.

[0007] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft includes a first shaft and a second shaft, the first shaft and the second shaft are coaxially arranged and rotatably connected to the housing respectively, the electrical connector is slidably connected to the first shaft and the second shaft, the first engaging structure is disposed at the ends of the first shaft and / or the second shaft that are far apart from each other, and the elastic element is disposed between the first shaft and the second shaft.

[0008] Therefore, the electrical connector can rotate synchronously with the first and second axes. The first engaging structure located at the end of the first and / or second axes switches its engaging position as it rotates, so that the electrical connector is positioned at different angles. This helps to prevent the electrical connector from shaking during use or storage, thereby maintaining a stable connection with the external power source or a stable storage state.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first shaft has a first cavity, the second shaft has a second cavity, a first limiting portion protruding from the inner wall surface is constructed in the first cavity, and a second limiting portion protruding from the inner wall surface is constructed in the second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity are directly opposite to each other and communicate with each other. The elastic member is accommodated in the first cavity and the second cavity and its two ends abut against the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion, respectively.

[0010] Therefore, the elastic element is protected and housed within the first and second cavities, which helps improve the reliability of its function. Under the action of the elastic element, the first and second shafts can move closer or further apart, thereby disengaging or engaging the first engaging structure relative to the second engaging structure.

[0011] In some embodiments, the radial dimension of at least a portion of the second shaft near the first shaft is smaller than the radial dimension of the first cavity, and a portion of the second shaft is inserted into the first cavity and is capable of sliding within the first cavity.

[0012] Therefore, the direction of movement of the second axis can be limited by the first cavity, preventing the second axis from shifting when pushing the elastic element, which helps to improve the reliability of positioning.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first engaging structure includes a positioning tooth disposed on the side of the rotating shaft facing the second engaging structure, and the second engaging structure includes at least two mating grooves disposed on the housing and located on the rotation path of the positioning tooth; or, the first engaging structure includes at least two of the mating grooves disposed on the side of the rotating shaft facing the second engaging structure, and the second engaging structure includes the positioning tooth disposed on the housing and located on the rotation path of the mating groove; wherein each of the mating grooves provides an engaging position.

[0014] Therefore, under the elastic force of the elastic element, the positioning tooth can engage with any mating groove. When the shaft rotates, the positioning tooth can switch from one engagement position to other engagement positions. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0015] In some embodiments, a plurality of positioning teeth are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft, and the mating grooves are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the positioning teeth; wherein, at any engagement position, all the positioning teeth are inserted into all the mating grooves.

[0016] Therefore, at the engagement position, multiple positioning teeth and multiple mating grooves fit together and engage, making the engagement more secure.

[0017] In some embodiments, the first engaging structure further includes a protrusion, and the second engaging structure further includes a blocking portion. The protrusion is disposed at the end of the rotating shaft and is eccentrically disposed relative to the axis of the rotating shaft. The blocking portion is disposed in the housing and located on the rotation path of the protrusion, for limiting the rotation range of the rotating shaft by the cooperation of the blocking portion and the protrusion.

[0018] Therefore, by setting the matching position of the blocking part and the protruding part, the protruding part can rotate within the range defined by the blocking part, thus limiting the rotation range of the rotating shaft.

[0019] In some embodiments, the electronic device accessory further includes a conductive element, a portion of which is parallel to the extension direction of the rotating shaft and coaxially connected to the rotating shaft. The conductive element passes through the housing and the rotating shaft in sequence and is connected to and conducts electricity with the electrical connector.

[0020] Therefore, the housing and the shaft can maintain their relative positions through conductive components, preventing the shaft from becoming eccentric during rotation.

[0021] In some embodiments, the electronic device accessory further includes a conductive clip, a support base protruding from the wall of the housing, two support bases being spaced apart from each other, a rotating shaft being rotatably connected to the two support bases, a second engaging structure being disposed on at least one of the support bases, the conductive clip being disposed within the support base, and a portion of the conductive element parallel to the extension direction of the rotating shaft being clamped on the conductive clip and capable of rotating relative to the conductive clip.

[0022] Therefore, the conductive component and the conductive clamp work together to allow the conductive component to rotate with the electrical connector without twisting, which helps to extend the service life of the conductive component.

[0023] In some embodiments, the electronic device accessory further includes a support member, the electrical connector includes a first pin and a second pin, the support member is connected to the radial sidewall of the pivot, and the first pin and the second pin are spaced apart from each other in the support member.

[0024] Thus, the first and second pins rotate synchronously with the pivot through the support, enabling the first and second pins to maintain a fixed relative position, thereby achieving simultaneous storage and use of both.

In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this application more obvious and understandable, the following are specific embodiments of this application.

[0044] The following is a detailed description of this application.

[0045] Chargers, power banks, and other electronic device accessories typically have prongs, which act as electrical connectors to connect to an external power source. In related technologies, the prongs are fixedly connected to one side wall of the housing, and the extension direction of the prongs is perpendicular to the wall of the housing for inserting an external power source.

[0046] However, the plug itself is relatively long, meaning the protrusion of the plug relative to the housing is quite long. When not in use, the protruding plug makes electronic device accessories take up a lot of space and difficult to store. Furthermore, the plug is very easy to get tangled or collide with external objects, which may damage itself and affect normal use.

[0047] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides an electronic device accessory in which the electrical connector can rotate and be positioned relative to the housing, thereby facilitating the use and storage of the electrical connector.

[0048] Based on this design concept, this application provides an electronic device accessory, which includes: a housing; a rotation positioning assembly including a rotating shaft, an elastic element, a first engaging structure and a second engaging structure, wherein the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the housing, the first engaging structure is disposed on the rotating shaft, the second engaging structure is disposed on the housing and located on the rotation path of the first engaging structure, and the elastic element is configured to engage or disengage the first engaging structure and the second engaging structure at their engaging positions by extending or retracting itself; and an electrical connector connected to the rotating shaft; wherein the second engaging structure provides at least two engaging positions.

[0049] Because the shaft connected to the electrical connector is rotatably attached to the housing, the electrical connector can rotate relative to the housing. When in use, the connector can be rotated to a position perpendicular to the housing wall for easy insertion into a power source. When not in use, the connector can be rotated to a position parallel to the housing wall. This helps reduce the probability of the connector getting tangled or colliding with external objects and also helps reduce the space occupied by electronic device accessories, facilitating their storage. Since the second locking structure provides two locking positions, and the first locking structure can engage in the locking position under the action of the elastic element, the electrical connector is positioned when rotated to the locking position. This helps prevent the connector from shaking during use or storage, thus maintaining a stable connection to the external power source or a stable stored state.

[0050] The following explanation is based on the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Figure 1 A perspective view of an electronic device accessory provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 An exploded view of an electronic device accessory provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 3 An exploded view of a rotation positioning assembly provided in one embodiment of this application; Figure 4 for Figure 3 A magnified view of part A in the middle; Figure 5 for Figure 3 A magnified view of part B in the middle section; Figure 6 A perspective view of an electronic device accessory with a concealed housing provided for an embodiment of this application; Figure 7 A perspective view of an electronic device accessory with a protective case provided for an embodiment of this application.

[0052] This application provides an electronic device accessory, such as... Figures 1 to 3As shown, it includes: a housing 10; a rotation positioning assembly 11, including a rotating shaft 111, an elastic element 112, a first engaging structure 113 and a second engaging structure 114, the rotating shaft 111 being rotatably connected to the housing 10, the first engaging structure 113 being disposed on the rotating shaft 111, and the second engaging structure 114 being disposed on the housing 10 and located on the rotation path of the first engaging structure 113, the elastic element 112 being configured to engage or disengage the first engaging structure 113 and the second engaging structure 114 by extending or retracting itself; and an electrical connector 12 connected to the rotating shaft 111; wherein the second engaging structure 114 provides at least two engaging positions.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device accessory includes a housing 10, a rotation positioning assembly 11, and an electrical connector 12. The rotation positioning assembly 11 is disposed on one side surface of the housing 10 and is rotatable relative to the housing 10. The electrical connector 12 is connected to the rotation positioning assembly 11 and rotates with the rotation positioning assembly 11 relative to the housing 10.

[0054] The housing 10 forms an accommodating space, and the electronic components are disposed in the accommodating space. The electrical connector 12 is electrically connected to the electronic components. The surface of the housing 10 facing the accommodating space is the inner wall surface of the housing 10, and the surface of the housing 10 away from the accommodating space is the surface surface of the housing 10. The rotation positioning assembly 11 and the electrical connector 12 are both located on the surface surface of the housing 10.

[0055] A portion of the rotation positioning assembly 11 can rotate relative to the housing 10 and remains fixed after rotating to a certain angle. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotation positioning assembly 11 includes a rotating shaft 111, an elastic element 112, a first engaging structure 113, and a second engaging structure 114. Both ends of the rotating shaft 111 are rotatably connected to the housing 10. The first engaging structure 113 is provided at at least one end of the rotating shaft 111, and the second engaging structure 114 is provided on the housing 10 corresponding to the first engaging structure 113. The rotating shaft 111 can be rotatably connected to the second engaging structure 114 through the first engaging structure 113. The second engaging structure 114 is connected to the housing 10 and provides at least two engaging positions that can engage with the first engaging structure 113. Each engaging position is arranged separately from each other along the rotation path of the first engaging structure 113 on the second engaging structure 114.

[0056] The elastic element 112 can press the first engaging structure 113 against the second engaging structure 114. When the first engaging structure 113 is in the engaging position opposite the second engaging structure 114, the elastic element 112 causes the first engaging structure 113 to enter the engaging position, thereby engaging the first engaging structure 113 with the second engaging structure 114 and positioning the rotating shaft 111. When the elastic element 112 is contracted, the first engaging structure 113 is disengaged, and the rotating shaft 111 can rotate; when the elastic element 112 is extended, the first engaging structure 113 enters the engaging position, and the rotating shaft 111 is positioned.

[0057] The engagement positions include at least a storage position and a usage position. In the usage position, the extension direction of the electrical connector 12 is perpendicular to or approximately perpendicular to the wall surface of the housing 10. In the storage position, the extension direction of the electrical connector 12 is parallel to the wall surface of the housing 10.

[0058] Electrical connector 12 is used for electrical connection to an external power source. Exemplarily, electrical connector 12 is a pin for insertion into a socket.

[0059] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, since the rotating shaft 111 connected to the electrical connector 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 10, the electrical connector 12 can rotate relative to the housing 10. When in use, the electrical connector 12 can be rotated to a position perpendicular to the wall of the housing 10 to facilitate insertion into a power source. When not in use, the electrical connector 12 can be rotated to a position parallel to the wall of the housing 10. This helps reduce the probability of the electrical connector 12 becoming entangled or colliding with external objects, and also helps reduce the space occupied by electronic device accessories, facilitating their storage. Since the second engaging structure 114 provides two engaging positions, and the first engaging structure 113 can engage in the engaging position under the action of the elastic member 112, the electrical connector 12 can be positioned when rotated to the engaging position. This helps prevent the electrical connector 12 from shaking during use or storage, thereby maintaining a stable connection with an external power source or a stable storage state.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating shaft 111 includes a first shaft 1111 and a second shaft 1112. The first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112 are coaxially arranged and rotatably connected to the housing 10 respectively. The electrical connector 12 is connected to the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112. The first engaging structure 113 is disposed at the ends of the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112 that are far apart from each other. The elastic member 112 is disposed between the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112.

[0061] The rotating shaft 111 includes a first shaft 1111 and a second shaft 1112. The extending directions of the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112 are on the same straight line. The end of the first shaft 1111 away from the second shaft 1112 is rotatably connected to the housing 10, and the end of the second shaft 1112 away from the first shaft 1111 is rotatably connected to the housing 10. A first engaging structure 113 may be provided on the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112, and a corresponding second engaging structure 114 may be provided on the housing 10, so that at least one end of the rotating shaft 111 is rotatably connected to the second engaging structure 114 through the first engaging structure 113.

[0062] Among them, the extension direction of the first axis 1111, the extension direction of the second axis 1112, and the extension direction X of the rotating shaft are in the same direction.

[0063] The first shaft 1111 is slidably connected to the electrical connector 12 on its radial surface. The first shaft 1111 is movable relative to the electrical connector 12 along its own extension direction, thereby moving closer to or away from the second shaft 1112. The second shaft 1112 is slidably connected to the electrical connector 12 on its radial surface. The second shaft 1112 is movable relative to the electrical connector 12 along its own extension direction, thereby moving closer to or away from the first shaft 1111. The first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112 can rotate synchronously with the electrical connector 12.

[0064] The elastic element 112 is capable of deforming along the extension direction X of the rotation axis. The elastic element 112 is disposed between the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112, and the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112 move closer or further apart, causing the elastic element 112 to extend and retract. When the first engaging structure 113 is in the engaging position, the elastic element 112 extends and pushes the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112, causing the first engaging structure 113 to insert into the engaging position and engage with the second engaging structure 114. When the first engaging structure 113 disengages from the engaging position, the elastic element 112 is pressed and contracted by the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112.

[0065] For example, the elastic element 112 is a spring.

[0066] Therefore, the electrical connector 12 can rotate synchronously with the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112. The first engaging structure 113 located at the end of the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112 switches the engaging position as the rotation occurs, so that the electrical connector 12 is positioned at different angles. This helps to prevent the electrical connector 12 from shaking during use or storage, thereby maintaining a stable connection with the external power source or a stable storage state.

[0067] In some embodiments, a first groove is formed at the end of the first shaft 1111 near the end of the second shaft 1112, and a second groove is formed at the end of the second shaft 1112 near the end of the first shaft 1111. The first groove and the second groove are directly opposite each other and connected. An elastic member 112 is partially accommodated in the first groove and the second groove, and the two ends of the elastic member 112 abut against the bottom of the first groove and the bottom of the second groove, respectively.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first shaft 1111 has a first cavity, and the second shaft 1112 has a second cavity. A first limiting part 1113 protruding from the inner wall surface is constructed in the first cavity, and a second limiting part 1114 protruding from the inner wall surface is constructed in the second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity are directly opposite each other and are connected. The elastic member 112 is accommodated in the first cavity and the second cavity, and its two ends abut against the first limiting part 1113 and the second limiting part 1114 respectively.

[0069] Along the extension direction X of the rotation axis, the first shaft 1111 has a first cavity penetrating through itself, and the second shaft 1112 has a second cavity penetrating through itself. The extension directions of the first cavity and the extension directions of the second cavity are on the same straight line and are connected to each other.

[0070] A first limiting portion 1113 protruding from the inner wall surface is constructed within a first cavity, and a second limiting portion 1114 protruding from the inner wall surface is constructed within a second cavity. An elastic member 112 is disposed within both the first and second cavities. In the same projection plane perpendicular to the extension direction X of the rotation axis, the projections of the first limiting portion 1113 and the elastic member 112 at least partially overlap, and the projections of the second limiting portion 1114 and the elastic member 112 at least partially overlap. One end of the elastic member 112 abuts against or connects to the first limiting portion 1113, and the other end of the elastic member 112 abuts against or connects to the second limiting portion 1114. The elastic member 112 pushes the first engaging structure 113 on the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112 to press the second engaging structure 114.

[0071] Thus, the elastic element 112 is protected and housed within the first cavity and the second cavity, which helps to improve the reliability of the elastic element 112's function. Under the action of the elastic element 112, the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112 can move closer to or further away from each other, thereby causing the first engaging structure 113 to be disengaged or engaged relative to the second engaging structure 114.

[0072] In some embodiments, see continue to see Figure 3 The radial dimension of at least a portion of the second shaft 1112 near the first shaft 1111 is smaller than the radial dimension of the first cavity, and a portion of the second shaft 1112 is inserted into the first cavity and is able to slide within the first cavity.

[0073] The second shaft 1112 can be inserted into the first cavity and can slide relative to the first cavity along the extension direction X of the shaft. The radial dimension of the second shaft 1112 can be constructed to be smaller than the radial dimension of the first cavity, or the radial dimension of the second shaft 1112 near the end of the first shaft 1111 can be smaller than the radial dimension of the first cavity.

[0074] Therefore, the direction of movement of the second shaft 1112 can be limited by the first cavity, preventing the second shaft 1112 from shifting when pushing the elastic member 112, which helps to improve the reliability of positioning.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first engaging structure 113 includes a positioning tooth 115 disposed on the side of the rotating shaft 111 facing the second engaging structure 114, and the second engaging structure 114 includes at least two mating grooves 116 disposed on the housing 10 and located on the rotation path of the positioning tooth 115; or, the first engaging structure 113 includes at least two mating grooves 116 disposed on the side of the rotating shaft 111 facing the second engaging structure 114, and the second engaging structure 114 includes a positioning tooth 115 disposed on the housing 10 and located on the rotation path of the mating groove 116; wherein each mating groove 116 provides an engaging position.

[0076] The first engaging structure 113 includes a positioning tooth 115. The positioning tooth 115 is disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 111 and is eccentrically disposed relative to the axis of the rotating shaft 111. The second engaging structure 114 includes a mating groove 116. At least two mating grooves 116 are spaced apart from each other and disposed in the housing 10. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 111, the moving path of the positioning tooth 115 is an annular path with the axis of the rotating shaft 111 as the center, and the mating groove 116 is located on this annular path.

[0077] The first engaging structure 113 includes a mating groove 116. At least two mating grooves 116 are spaced apart and disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 111, and are eccentrically positioned relative to the axis of the rotating shaft 111. The second engaging structure 114 includes a positioning tooth 115. The positioning tooth 115 is disposed in the housing 10. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 111, the moving path of the mating groove 116 is an annular path with the axis of the rotating shaft 111 as the center, and the positioning tooth 115 is located on this annular path.

[0078] Specifically, the positioning tooth 115 is constructed as a protrusion, and the mating groove 116 is constructed as a recess. The protrusion and the recess can fit tightly together so that they can engage with each other. Multiple recesses that can fit tightly with the protrusion are provided, and the positions where the protrusion and the recess can fit tightly together are considered as engagement positions.

[0079] The positioning teeth 115 can be positioned at the ends of the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112 that are far apart from each other, and the elastic element 112 is located between the first shaft 1111 and the second shaft 1112. When the rotating shaft 111 rotates, it can change the relative position of the protrusion and the recess. When the protrusion and the recess are aligned, the elastic element 112 extends and pushes the positioning teeth 115 into the mating groove 116 so that the two engage with each other; when the protrusion and the recess are not aligned, the protrusion causes the first shaft 1111 and / or the second shaft 1112 to press the elastic element 112. By rotating the rotating shaft 111, the protrusion can be aligned with different recesses and engaged, thereby changing the engagement position.

[0080] Therefore, under the elastic force of the elastic element 112, the positioning tooth 115 can engage with any of the mating grooves 116. When the rotating shaft 111 rotates, the positioning tooth 115 can switch from one engagement position to other engagement positions. The structure is simple and easy to use.

[0081] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple positioning teeth 115 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating shaft 111, and the mating grooves 116 are set in a one-to-one correspondence with the positioning teeth 115; wherein, in any engagement position, all positioning teeth 115 are inserted into all mating grooves 116.

[0082] Multiple positioning teeth 115 are provided at the end of the rotating shaft 111 near the second engaging structure 114. The multiple positioning teeth 115 are evenly arranged around the circumference of the rotating shaft 111, and are in an approximately corrugated shape. The mating groove 116 is provided one-to-one with the positioning teeth 115. The positioning teeth 115 can be inserted into the mating groove 116, and the groove surface of the mating groove 116 can be tightly fitted with the tooth surface of the positioning teeth 115.

[0083] The position where the positioning tooth 115 and the mating groove 116 can fit tightly can be considered as the engagement position. During the rotation of the shaft 111, when the gap of the positioning tooth 115 and the mating groove 116 are aligned, the mating groove 116 pushes the positioning tooth 115, causing the elastic element 112 to be pressed, and the shaft 111 can rotate freely at this time; when the positioning tooth 115 and the mating groove 116 are aligned, the elastic element 112 extends and inserts the positioning tooth 115 into the mating groove 116, so that the positioning tooth 115 and the mating groove 116 engage with each other.

[0084] Therefore, at the engaging position, multiple positioning teeth 115 and multiple mating grooves 116 are mutually attached and engaged, making the engagement more secure.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first engaging structure 113 further includes a protrusion 1131, and the second engaging structure 114 further includes a blocking part 1141. The protrusion 1131 is disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 111 and is eccentrically disposed relative to the axis of the rotating shaft 111. The blocking part 1141 is disposed in the housing 10 and is located on the rotation path of the protrusion 1131, and is used to limit the rotation range of the rotating shaft 111 by the cooperation of the blocking part 1141 and the protrusion 1131.

[0086] The first engaging structure 113 also includes a protrusion 1131. The protrusion 1131 is disposed at the end of the rotating shaft 111, adjacent to or spaced from the positioning teeth 115 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 111, and protrudes towards the second engaging structure 114. The protrusion 1131 can be positioned closer to the axis of the rotating shaft 111 relative to the positioning teeth 115, or it can be positioned further away from the axis of the rotating shaft 111 relative to the positioning teeth 115. The rotation path of the protrusion 1131 is annular with the axis of the rotating shaft 111 as the center.

[0087] The second engaging structure 114 also includes a blocking portion 1141. The blocking portion 1141 is disposed on the housing 10 and is configured to protrude toward the first engaging structure 113, and the blocking portion 1141 is located on the rotation path of the protrusion 1131.

[0088] Optionally, the blocking portion 1141 extends along the rotation path of the protrusion 1131, making the blocking portion 1141 arc-shaped. The protrusion 1131 can move from one end of the blocking portion 1141 away from the blocking portion 1141 until it moves along the rotation path to the other end of the blocking portion 1141. When the protrusion 1131 rotates with the rotating shaft 111 to a position that contacts the blocking portion 1141, the rotating shaft 111 can no longer rotate.

[0089] Alternatively, two blocking portions 1141 are provided, spaced apart from each other and located on the rotation path of the protrusion 1131. The protrusion 1131 can move between the blocking portions 1141. When the protrusion 1131 rotates with the rotating shaft 111 to a position that contacts the blocking portion 1141, the rotating shaft 111 can no longer rotate. It should be understood that when there are two second engaging structures 114, there are four corresponding blocking portions 1141, arranged in pairs and corresponding to the first engaging structure 113.

[0090] Furthermore, the blocking portion 1141 is constructed as a slope with a gradually changing protrusion height. At least two blocking portions 1141 are provided along the rotation path of the protrusion 1131. This allows the protrusion 1131 to rotate along the slope direction of the blocking portion 1141 to press against the elastic member 112, and when rotating in the opposite direction, the protrusion 1131 reduces the pressure on the elastic member 112.

[0091] Therefore, by setting the matching position of the blocking part 1141 and the protrusion 1131, the protrusion 1131 can rotate within the range defined by the blocking part 1141, thereby limiting the rotation range of the rotating shaft 111.

[0092] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device accessories also include a conductive element 13. A portion of the conductive element 13 is parallel to the extension direction X of the rotating shaft and coaxially connected with the rotating shaft 111. The conductive element 13 passes through the housing 10 and the rotating shaft 111 in sequence and is connected to and conducts electricity with the electrical connector 12.

[0093] The conductive element 13 is used to electrically connect electronic components within the housing 10. A portion of the conductive element 13 passes through the axis of the rotating shaft 111, and the rotating shaft 111 can be rotatably connected to the housing 10 via the conductive element 13. A portion of the conductive element 13 can be accommodated within a first cavity and / or a second cavity.

[0094] Thus, the housing 10 and the rotating shaft 111 can maintain their relative positions through the conductive element 13, preventing the rotating shaft 111 from becoming eccentric during rotation.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device accessory also includes a conductive clip 15, a support base 101 protruding from the wall of the housing, two support bases 101 being spaced apart from each other, a rotating shaft 111 being rotatably connected to the two support bases 101, a second engaging structure 114 being disposed on at least one support base 101, a conductive clip 15 being disposed inside the support base 101, and a portion of the conductive element 13 parallel to the extension direction X of the rotating shaft being clamped on the conductive clip 15 and being able to rotate relative to the conductive clip 15.

[0096] The electronic device accessory also includes a conductive clip 15. A portion of the wall of the housing 10 protrudes away from the receiving space to form a support base 101, forming two spaced-apart support bases 101. The support bases 101 are connected to the interior of the housing 10. A rotating shaft 111 is disposed between the two support bases 101, and both ends of the rotating shaft 111 are rotatably connected to the support bases 101 respectively. At least one end of the rotating shaft 111 is provided with a first engaging structure 113, and a second engaging structure 114 is provided on the support base 101 corresponding to the first engaging structure 113. The rotating shaft 111 can be rotatably connected to the second engaging structure 114 through the first engaging structure 113.

[0097] A conductive clip 15 is disposed within the support base 101, and the conductive clip 15 can conduct electricity with electronic components within the housing 10. The conductive clip 15 has an arc-shaped clamping position, and the conductive element 13 is inserted into the clamping position and rotates relative to the conductive clip 15. The conductive clip 15 contacts and conducts electricity with the conductive element 13.

[0098] Thus, the conductive element 13 and the conductive clamp 15 cooperate to allow the conductive element 13 to rotate together with the electrical connector 12 without twisting, which helps to extend the service life of the conductive element 13.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the electronic device accessories also include a support member 16, and an electrical connector 12 including a first pin 121 and a second pin 122. The support member 16 is connected to the radial sidewall of the rotating shaft 111, and the first pin 121 and the second pin 122 are spaced apart from each other and placed on the support member 16.

[0100] Thus, the first pin 121 and the second pin 122 rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 111 through the support member 16, so that the first pin 121 and the second pin 122 can maintain a fixed relative position, thereby realizing the simultaneous storage and use of both.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the electronic device accessories also include a protective housing 17, which surrounds the rotation positioning assembly 11.

[0102] The electronic device accessory of this application has a housing 10 that provides a carrier for storing the electrical connector 12. Its ergonomic design facilitates gripping and carrying. The electrical connector 12 is rotatably connected to the housing 10 via the rotation positioning assembly 11. When stored, the electrical connector 12 can rotate around the pivot 111 and be housed in the space between the support base 101 and the wall of the housing 10, preventing the electrical connector 12 from protruding. The electrical connector 12 rotates smoothly outside the engaged position, providing a comfortable user experience. The conductive element 13 and the conductive clip 15 cooperate to provide a stable conductive connection for the electrical connector 12.
