[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile phone accessories technology, and in particular to an interactive mobile phone accessory device. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of technology, mobile phones have become an indispensable tool in people's lives. Whether in work, entertainment, social interaction, or daily life, mobile phones play an increasingly important role. However, current mobile phones mainly rely on screen display, sound, and vibration to interact with users. Although these methods can effectively transmit information and provide feedback, they are mostly simple and mechanical, failing to provide a richer, more emotionally connected user experience.
[0003] Despite the powerful hardware and software capabilities of modern mobile phones, which can meet a variety of needs, they still fall short in terms of emotional interaction between users and devices. While people frequently perform operations and interactions on their phones, the lack of physical contact and interaction with the device fails to fully satisfy their psychological and emotional needs. Especially when facing loneliness, stress, or emotional distress, users often require more emotional companionship and comfort, which current mobile phone interaction methods fail to effectively provide.

Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, an interactive mobile phone attachment device 100 is proposed, including a housing 10 and an interactive part, wherein the housing 10 is used to attach to the back of the mobile phone, and a driving device 30 is provided inside the housing 10. The interactive part is connected to the driving device 30 in a transmission manner, and the driving device 30 drives the interactive part to move relative to the housing 10.
[0035] According to the interactive mobile phone accessory 100 of this embodiment, the interactive part can physically move relative to the housing 10 through the provision of the driving device 30. This physical movement not only breaks through the single interaction mode of traditional mobile phones, such as screen, sound, and vibration, but also brings a richer interactive experience to the user. This movement can simulate a certain form of touch, reaction, or companionship effect, enhancing the user's psychological comfort and improving the user experience.
[0036] In some embodiments, the interactive part is a tail structure 20, and the driving device 30 includes a driving rope 32 and a motor 31. The driving rope 32 passes through the first side 201 of the tail structure 20 along the length direction of the tail structure 20. One end of the driving rope 32 is connected to the motor 31 for transmission, and the other end is fixed to the end of the tail structure 20 away from the housing 10.
[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the tail structure 20 includes a second side 202 disposed opposite to its first side 201. There are two drive devices 30. The drive rope 32 of one drive device 30 passes through the first side 201 along the length direction of the tail structure 20, and the drive rope 32 of the other drive device passes through the second side 202 along the length direction of the tail structure 20.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the tail structure 20 includes a triangular tail skeleton 21, so the tail structure 20 has a first side, a second side and a third side. The first side, the second side and the third side are all provided with drive ropes 32, so that the tail structure 20 can have a three-dimensional movement mode.
[0039] Understandable Figure 5 This is a first structural diagram of this embodiment. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the second structure of this embodiment.
[0040] The following is a specific embodiment of the tail structure 20:
[0041] Example 1
[0042] In this first embodiment, the tail structure 20 is made of rubber, possessing good elasticity and flexibility. The tail structure 20 has sufficient flexibility along its length, allowing it to flexibly curl and extend in different directions. The two sides of the tail are the mounting areas for the drive ropes 32. Two drive ropes 32 are respectively threaded along opposite sides of the tail structure 20, with one end of each drive rope 32 fixedly connected to the tail end, and extending along the length of the tail structure 20. Two motors 31 control the tension of the drive ropes 32 on both sides. When one drive rope 32 is tightened, the tail structure 20 curls towards that side; conversely, when the other drive rope 32 is tightened, the tail structure 20 curls towards the other side. Furthermore, the motors 31 drive the curling action of the tail by controlling the tension of the ropes. Assume that motor 31A controls the drive rope 32 on the first side 201, and motor 31B controls the drive rope 32 on the second side 202. When motor 31A starts and tightens the drive rope 32 on the first side 201, the tail structure 20 curls towards the first side 201. Simultaneously, motor 31B loosens the drive rope 32 on the second side 202. Conversely, when motor 31B tightens the drive rope 32 on the second side 202, the tail structure 20 curls towards the second side 202, and motor 31A loosens the drive rope 32 on the first side 201. By adjusting the speed and tension of motor 31A, smooth bending and swaying of the tail structure 20 in both directions can be achieved. This bending motion simulates the movement of certain animal tails, thereby enhancing the interactivity between the mobile phone and the user.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] In Embodiment 2, the tail structure 20 includes a plurality of tail skeletons 21 connected to each other in sequence along the length direction. Both sides of the tail skeleton 21 are provided with chamfers. These chamfers can effectively solve the interference problem when adjacent tail skeletons 21 are close together, provide space for the flexible movement of the tail structure 20, ensure that the tail can swing and bend freely without obstruction, and improve the interactivity and durability of the tail.
[0045] Specifically, each tail skeleton 21 can be slightly curved or straight, possessing a certain strength and flexibility to support the overall structure of the tail and provide necessary support. Each tail skeleton 21 is made of lightweight materials, such as hard plastic or metal alloy, to ensure the tail's lightness and maneuverability.
[0046] Specifically, each tail skeleton 21 has chamfers on both sides. The chamfer angle can be between 30° and 45°. The chamfers allow adjacent tail skeletons 21 to effectively avoid each other when they are close together, preventing direct collisions or jamming, thus providing sufficient space for the free movement of the tail skeletons 21.
[0047] Specifically, each tail skeleton 21 is connected to its center position by a guide rope 22 (e.g., Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown by the dashed lines (it should be explained that the guide rope 22 is located inside the tail frame 21, hence the dashed line illustration), the guide rope 22 runs through the center, ensuring that the tail frames 21 do not fall off or shift under gravity or lateral drive, and maintaining the correct alignment of the tail frames 21 along the length of the tail.
[0048] Understandably, the drive unit 30 also includes a winch 33, which is connected to the motor 31. One end of the drive rope 32 is wound around the winch 33. The winch 33 is a cylindrical structure and can be made of high-strength plastic or metal. The winch 33 is connected to the motor 31 via bearings or other rotating mechanisms and can rotate under the drive of the motor 31. One end of the drive rope 32 is wound around the winch 33, and the tension of the rope is controlled by the rotation of the winch 33 controlled by the motor 31. The output end of the motor 31 is connected to the winch 33. When the motor 31 rotates, the winch 33 rotates accordingly, causing the drive rope 32 to tighten or loosen, thereby controlling the bending direction of the tail structure 20. According to the speed and direction of rotation of the motor 31, the motor 31 can precisely adjust the rotation speed of the winch 33, thereby realizing different movement modes of the tail. Due to the design of the winch 33, the winding and unwinding of the drive rope 32 can be completed in a small space, reducing external friction and wear of the rope.
[0049] In some embodiments, the interactive mobile phone attachment 100 also includes a control system 40, which is electrically connected to both the mobile phone and the drive device 30. The control system 40 controls the drive device 30 based on signals from the mobile phone. The core of the control system 40 is a microcontroller, which receives instructions from the mobile phone's app or other control interfaces and processes the data to control the tension of the motor 31, winch 33, and drive rope 32. The microcontroller can receive signals from the mobile phone via Bluetooth or USB-C and control the motor 31 to start, stop, adjust speed, and control direction, thereby precisely controlling the tail's movements. Based on the signals from the mobile phone, the control system 40 can implement various control modes, such as timed movements, on-demand movements, and random modes. Users can set the tail's movement mode (e.g., fast swing, slow swing, or continuous wagging) via the mobile phone and adjust the tail's range and frequency of movement through the control system 40.
[0050] In some embodiments, the interactive mobile phone accessory 100 further includes a charging device 50, which is disposed within the housing 10 and has a port, namely a USB-C port 60, located on the housing 10. The charging device 50 comprises a charging module containing a battery, a charging circuit, and a control circuit. The rechargeable battery provides power to the control system 40, the motor 31, the sound-generating device 50, etc. The charging circuit manages the charging process, including battery charging, discharging, and overcharge protection, ensuring the safety and stability of the charging process. The charging port on the housing 10 allows users to charge the phone using a standard charging cable (such as the USB-C port 60). Furthermore, when a user connects their mobile phone to the interactive mobile phone accessory 100 via the USB-C port or other interfaces, the charging circuit automatically initiates charging when it detects the connection. Charging current flows to the mobile phone through the charging port, and the charging process is the same as with a traditional charger. The system automatically determines the phone's battery status and adjusts the charging current accordingly.
[0051] In some embodiments, both the outer surface of the housing 10 and the interactive part are removably covered with a fur layer (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 3 (The pattern in the design). The fur layer is detachably connected to the casing 10 and the interactive part via a detachable structure. Specifically, it can be secured using hook and loop fasteners, buttons, zippers, magnets, or other simple fastening devices, allowing the fur layer to be easily removed and replaced. This design allows users to change the fur layer according to their needs or seasonal changes, maintaining the phone case's novelty. Through the fur layer design, the overall appearance of the interactive phone accessory 100 is more approachable, especially when it resembles the tail structure 20, increasing its overall fun and entertainment value. The combination of the fur layer and the interactive part provides users with a more vivid and interesting interactive experience, enhancing emotional connection.
[0052] In some embodiments, the side of the housing 10 that is attached to the phone has a magnetic layer, allowing the interactive phone accessory 100 to adhere to the back of the phone. The magnetic layer can be made of high-strength magnets or magnetic materials, possessing strong adsorption force. The magnets can be ring-shaped, bar-shaped, or circular sheet magnets, ensuring sufficient magnetic force to firmly attach the phone case to the phone. The magnets in the magnetic layer use soft magnetic materials to ensure no interference with the phone's electromagnetic signals or wireless charging function. The magnetic layer, through a precisely designed magnetic field, creates a strong adsorption force between the phone case and the back of the phone, effectively securing the phone case. The moderate adsorption force of the magnetic layer not only ensures stable attachment of the phone case but also allows for easy removal by the user without excessive force.
[0053] Furthermore, the side of the housing 10 facing the phone also features a limiting protrusion. This limiting protrusion clamps onto both sides of the phone for secure fixation. The limiting protrusion is made of flexible material or rigid plastic and is located on the inner side of the phone housing, i.e., the side facing the phone. The limiting protrusion is typically located on both sides of the housing 10, and its height and width are designed to clamp onto both sides of the phone, creating a clamping force that effectively secures the phone.
[0054] In some implementations, the interactive mobile phone accessory 100 uses a mini-program or app on the mobile phone to intelligently control the movement frequency and state of the interactive part (such as the tail structure 20), and can also emit sound. This control method can not only automatically trigger corresponding interactive actions based on the real-time status of the mobile phone (such as incoming calls, messages, application notifications, game status, etc.), but also allow the owner to personalize the action parameters through custom settings, forming a flexible and customized interactive response scheme.
[0055] In some embodiments, to simulate the undulating movements of an animal's body and enhance the interactive feel, the interactive mobile phone accessory 100 incorporates a massage device 70 inside the device. The massage device 70 includes a roller, which is a flat rubber disc with a flat bottom surface for stable attachment to the mounting surface, and an irregular undulating structure on its top surface. When the roller rotates around its center, the irregular undulations on the top surface continuously interact with the contact surface (such as bionic skin), causing a bionic undulation effect in the surface material, simulating the rhythmic changes of real muscles or skin. Furthermore, by working in conjunction with the drive device 30, the device generates flexible vibrations similar to the undulating movements of an animal's body during movement, further enhancing the user's tactile experience and interactive enjoyment.
[0056] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is made of a composite material of synthetic fibers and polymer elastomers, using special weaving and post-processing techniques to achieve an appearance and feel similar to natural animal fur. The material possesses excellent softness, as well as wear resistance, stain resistance, and easy cleaning properties. The surface of the housing 10 is designed with a microstructure to mimic the arrangement and texture of animal fur, allowing users to experience a smoothness and warmth similar to real animal fur when touched, creating a close-to-nature interactive experience.
[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
