[0002] In today's era of ubiquitous mobile phones and increasingly diverse usage scenarios, phone cases are no longer just simple accessories to protect phones from bumps and scratches. They have evolved to offer many practical functions, among which the support function is particularly popular with consumers. Phone cases with support functions allow users to watch videos, make video calls, or browse content for extended periods without holding the phone, easily freeing their hands and greatly enhancing the user experience. These phone cases typically achieve stable support for the phone through specific structural designs, such as built-in adjustable stands or specially shaped back panels.

[0003] However, current phone cases with support functions face several unresolved issues in their support structure design. One prominent problem is that the support structure is primarily arranged in a ring shape in the center of the back panel. While this design can meet basic support requirements to some extent, it introduces a significant drawback—a substantial increase in the thickness of the case's center.

[0004] From a user experience perspective, an overly thick phone case makes the phone feel bulkier and heavier when held, potentially leading to hand fatigue over extended periods. Furthermore, this increased thickness also affects the comfort of carrying the phone in a pocket, making it appear more obtrusive and potentially causing discomfort when sitting or moving around.

[0005] From the perspective of phone appearance and overall harmony, the thickened phone case in the middle disrupts the original smooth and slim design aesthetics of the phone, making it look bulky and reducing the overall appearance of the product, which makes it difficult to meet the pursuit of some consumers for the exquisite appearance of the phone.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a mobile phone case with a support function, including a housing 1 and a camera protection frame 2, which are connected. It also includes a support fixing part disposed on the housing 1 or the camera protection frame 2. The camera protection frame 2 has a movable part 3, which is hinged to the support fixing part. In this embodiment, the support fixing part is disposed on the camera protection frame 2. Addressing the problem that current mobile phone cases with support functions, due to their ring-shaped support structure located in the center of the back panel, increase the thickness of the back panel and thus affect the phone's appearance and overall harmony, this technical solution creatively proposes a novel design approach. This solution mainly consists of a housing, a camera protection frame, a support fixing part, and a movable part. The housing is connected to the camera protection frame, providing basic protection for the phone. The camera protection frame not only protects the phone's camera from scratches and impacts but also serves as the carrier for the movable part. The support fixing part, disposed on the housing or the camera protection frame, provides a stable support foundation for the entire support structure. When the user needs to use the support function, the support fixing part can withstand the pressure of placing the phone, ensuring stable placement. The movable part is mounted on the camera protection frame and hinged to the support fixing part. This hinge design is one of the core innovations of this solution, allowing the movable part to rotate flexibly relative to the support fixing part. In actual use, when the user needs to support the phone, they simply rotate the movable part from its initial position to a suitable support angle. At this point, the movable part and the support fixing part together form a stable support structure, providing support for the phone. When the support function is not needed, the movable part can easily rotate back to its original position, integrating seamlessly with the phone case without creating a noticeable protrusion in the center of the phone's back panel. This design cleverly avoids the drawback of traditional support structures being ring-shaped in the center of the back panel, which increases thickness. It ensures both the support function of the phone case and maintains the flatness of the phone's back panel, making the phone's appearance more concise and aesthetically pleasing, significantly improving overall harmony, and perfectly solving the usage problems currently faced by products.

[0032] Preferably, the shape and size of the movable part 3 are adapted to the shape and size of the camera protective frame 2. From an aesthetic perspective, when the movable part and the camera protective frame are adapted, they blend perfectly, avoiding any abrupt or irregular parts on the phone case surface. This makes the overall appearance of the phone case simpler and more aesthetically pleasing, complementing the original design style of the phone and preserving its overall refinement. Functionally, this adaptation design better utilizes the space around the camera protective frame, allowing the movable part to work more stably with the frame when unfolded as a support structure, providing even support and avoiding instability or wobbling caused by improperly sized movable parts. Furthermore, in its folded state, the adaptation design allows the movable part to fit more snugly against the camera protective frame, reducing its impact on daily carrying and use of the phone without adding extra volume or occupying excessive space. This ensures both the support function and the portability of the phone case.

[0033] Preferably, the camera protective frame 2 further includes a fixing base 21, which is fixedly connected to the back plate 11 of the housing 1, with a supporting fixing part located at one end of the fixing base 21. In this embodiment, the supporting fixing part is equivalent to the fixing base 21, and the two are integrated. The setting of the fixing base enhances the stability of the connection between the camera protective frame and the back plate of the housing. Through the fixed connection between the fixing base and the back plate, the camera protective frame can be more firmly attached to the phone case, effectively preventing the camera protective frame from loosening or falling off due to collisions, friction, and other factors during long-term use, thereby better protecting the phone camera. Setting the supporting fixing part at one end of the fixing base provides a more reasonable and stable support point for the support structure. The fixing base can provide a solid support foundation for the supporting fixing part, making it less prone to deformation or damage when bearing the weight of the phone, thus improving the reliability and durability of the support structure. In addition, this layout makes the support structure and the camera protective frame form an organic whole, making it easier to achieve standardization and modularization in the design and manufacturing process, reducing production costs, and also facilitating user installation and use.

[0034] Preferably, the length of the camera protective frame 2 is greater than half the width of the housing 1. From a stability perspective, a length greater than half the width of the housing provides a larger support area when used as a support structure. A larger support area disperses the pressure generated when the phone is placed, reducing the force per unit area and effectively improving stability. This prevents the phone from shaking or tipping over during support, ensuring user safety when using the phone support function. Regarding camera protection, a longer camera protective frame provides more comprehensive coverage of the camera and its surrounding area, offering more reliable protection. It prevents the camera from being scratched, bumped, or squeezed from all directions, reducing the risk of camera damage and extending the phone's lifespan. Furthermore, from a design and overall aesthetic perspective, this design makes the phone case visually more balanced and aesthetically pleasing, avoiding an awkward or uncoordinated appearance due to an excessively short camera protective frame.

[0035] Preferably, the movable part 3 includes two or more sub-movable parts, which are arranged along the length of the camera protective frame 2. The sub-movable parts are hinged sequentially, and the first or last sub-movable part is hinged to the support fixing part. Regarding support flexibility, the sequential hinged design of multiple sub-movable parts allows for multi-angle and multi-directional adjustment. Users can flexibly adjust the unfolding angle and shape of the movable part according to actual usage scenarios and personal needs, thereby achieving different support heights and angles to meet the needs of various usage scenarios such as watching videos, video calls, and reading. In terms of storage convenience, this segmented design allows the movable parts to fold more compactly when stored, reducing the space occupied by the phone case. Compared with the traditional single movable part design, it can be stored more conveniently on the phone case, without affecting the carrying and use of the phone due to an excessively long movable part. Furthermore, the structure of multiple sub-movable parts can also distribute the stress generated during support, improving the load-bearing capacity and durability of the movable part, and extending the service life of the phone case.

[0036] Specifically, the movable part 3 in this embodiment includes a first sub-movable part 31, a second sub-movable part 32, and a third sub-movable part 33. These three sub-movable parts are sequentially hinged together, with the third sub-movable part 33 hinged to the support fixing part. In terms of support effectiveness, the combined design of the three sub-movable parts provides more stable and reliable support. Each sub-movable part plays a role in the support process; through sequential hinges, they work together to bear the weight of the phone, making the support structure more stable and reducing the possibility of the phone shaking or sliding during support. Regarding structural rationality, this three-section design better adapts to the shape and size of the camera protection frame, ensuring that the movable part fits tightly with the camera protection frame when unfolded and retracted, without structural interference or unreasonable aspects. Simultaneously, the three-section design is relatively simple to manufacture, facilitating mass production, reducing production costs, and improving the product's market competitiveness. Furthermore, users can more conveniently unfold and retract the movable part during use, enhancing the user experience.

[0037] Preferably, the fixed base 21 is provided with a sliding groove 211, and the first or last movable part is provided with a slider protrusion 311 that matches the sliding groove 211 and slides in cooperation with the fixed base 21. For a more stable sliding cooperation, the slider protrusion 311 and the sliding groove 211 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, respectively. Regarding the precision of support adjustment, the sliding cooperation design of the sliding groove and slider protrusion allows the movable part to slide along a fixed trajectory during unfolding and retraction. Users can more precisely control the unfolding angle and position of the movable part, achieving fine adjustment of the support height. This precise adjustment method can meet the personalized needs of different users for support angle and height, improving user satisfaction. In terms of ease of operation, the sliding cooperation design makes the unfolding and retraction process of the movable part smoother. Users only need to gently push the movable part to complete the adjustment of the support structure, without complicated operating steps, making it convenient and quick. Furthermore, the sliding cooperation also increases the connection stability between the movable part and the fixed base, reducing support instability caused by shaking or loosening, and improving the reliability and durability of the entire support structure.

[0038] Preferably, the upper end of the sub-movable part with the slider protrusion 311 is provided with a horizontal protrusion structure 312. In terms of enhancing support stability, the horizontal protrusion structure increases the friction between the sub-movable part and the support surface. When the phone case is used as a support, the horizontal protrusion structure can better embed itself into the support surface, preventing the phone from sliding or moving due to external forces during support, thereby improving support stability and ensuring user safety.

[0039] Preferably, the mounting base 21 is provided with a slot 212, and the mounting base 21 and the back plate 11 of the housing 1 are engaged in a snap-fit ​​connection. In terms of ease of installation, the snap-fit ​​design makes the installation process of the mounting base and the back plate of the housing simple and quick. Users do not need to use complicated tools or perform cumbersome operations; they only need to align the slot on the mounting base with the corresponding part on the back plate of the housing and snap it in to complete the installation of the mounting base, greatly saving installation time and effort.

[0040] Preferably, the material of the movable part 3 is aluminum alloy. In terms of strength and durability, aluminum alloy has high strength and hardness, capable of withstanding the significant pressure generated during phone support without easily deforming or being damaged. Compared to some other materials, the aluminum alloy movable part can better maintain its shape and structural stability, ensuring long-term reliable use of the support function. Regarding weight control, aluminum alloy has a relatively low density, making the movable part lighter while maintaining strength. This does not add excessive burden to the overall phone, making it convenient for users to carry and use.
