[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0058] The following is combined Figures 1-13 The keyboard cover and electronic device components provided in the utility model embodiments will be described in detail through specific implementation examples and application scenarios.
[0059] In the first aspect, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a keyboard case 1, including: a base 11, a foldable support 12, and a connector 13;
[0060] The base 11 is used to place the keyboard 2; the first end of the foldable support 12 is connected to the base 11, and the foldable support 12 has at least two extended states; the first end of the connector 13 is connected to the base 11, the first end of the connector 13 is spaced apart from the first end of the foldable support 12, and the second end of the connector 13 is connected to the foldable support 12.
[0061] When the foldable support 12 is in the extended state, the foldable support 12 and the connector 13 cooperate to support the back of the electronic device 3, which is placed at an angle relative to the base 11.
[0062] Understandably, the base 11 is typically configured to be placed horizontally, for example, on a horizontal table. The keyboard 2 is placed on the area of the base 11 closest to the user, and the side of the base 11 away from the user is connected to the first end of the foldable support 12. The foldable support 12 and the base 11 can be configured as a single unit, or the first end of the foldable support 12 and the side of the base 11 away from the user can be detachably connected.
[0063] The foldable support 12 can adopt a shapeable support structure that can switch between different extension states. By providing a connector 13 between the base 11 and the foldable support 12, the foldable support 12 can be stably maintained in the actual required extension state with the assistance of the connector 13, so as to adaptively provide support for the electronic device 3 in the actual required tilting posture.
[0064] The connector 13 is a foldable component. The connector 13 can be a flexible component, such as a flexible belt or a pull rope. The connector 13 can also be a shape-fixed component that can be folded or extended, such as a hinge or a telescopic component. There are no specific limitations on this.
[0065] The first end of the connector 13 can be connected to the base 11 by adhesive or riveting, and the second end of the connector 13 can also be connected to the foldable support 12 by adhesive or riveting. Decorative parts can be provided at the connection between the connector 13 and the base 11 and / or the connection between the connector 13 and the foldable support 12 to ensure the aesthetics of the connection.
[0066] Meanwhile, the first end of the connector 13 is located between the area on the base 11 where the keyboard 2 is arranged and the side of the base 11 away from the user. For example, the first end of the connector 13 can be connected to the middle area of the base 11, or the first end of the connector 13 can be connected to the side of the base 11. No specific limitation is made in this regard.
[0067] The keyboard case 1 shown in this utility model has a foldable support 12 and a connector 13 based on the base 11. Since the foldable support 12 has at least two extension states and is connected to the base 11 through the connector 13, the foldable support 12 can be stably maintained in different extension states according to the auxiliary support provided by the connector 13. This stably supports electronic devices 3 at different tilt angles, making it convenient for users to flexibly adjust the placement of electronic devices 3 according to actual needs.
[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, the base 11 includes a first region 111 and a second region 112. The first region 111 and the second region 112 are arranged side by side on the front of the base 11. For example, the first region 111 and the second region 112 are arranged along the width direction of the base 11. The first region 111 is used to place the keyboard 2, and the second region 112 is used to store or accommodate the connector 13 and the foldable support 12 in a folded state. The first end of the foldable support 12 is located on the side of the second region 112 away from the first region 111, and the first end of the connector 13 is located between the first region 111 and the second region 112.
[0069] At the same time, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 9As shown, when the keyboard cover 1 is in the first state, that is, when the keyboard cover 1 supports the tilted electronic device 3, the foldable support 12 is in the extended state, the connector 13 spans across the upper side of the second region 112, and at least part of the connector 13 and at least part of the foldable support 12 are in contact with the back of the electronic device 3 to provide support for the tilted electronic device 3.
[0070] When the keyboard cover 1 is in the first state, the base 11 can be set to support the bottom edge of the electronic device 3, and the connector 13 and the foldable support 12 can be set to support the back of the electronic device 3 respectively. Alternatively, the base 11 can be set to be separated from the bottom edge of the electronic device 3, and the connector 13 and the foldable support 12 can be set to support the back of the electronic device 3 respectively. Furthermore, the base 11 can be detachably connected to the back of the electronic device 3 by means of magnetic attraction or snap-fit connection.
[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, when the keyboard cover 1 is in the second state, that is, when the keyboard cover 1 is storing the horizontally distributed electronic device 3, the foldable support 12 is in a folded state. The foldable support 12 and the connector 13 are both stored in the second area 112 in a folded state. At this time, the base 11 supports the back of the horizontally placed electronic device 3, and the foldable support 12 and the connector 13 can also provide support for the back of the electronic device 3.
[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 11 also includes a first support portion 1101, which is arranged circumferentially along the first region 111; when the keyboard cover 1 is in the second state, the first support portion 1101 supports the back of the electronic device 3, which is placed horizontally relative to the base 11.
[0073] Understandably, when the keyboard 2 is placed in the first area 111, the top surface of the first support 1101 is higher than the upper surface of the keyboard 2. When the electronic device 3 is placed horizontally on the base 11, this design ensures that the electronic device 3 is pressed against the first support 1101 and that the back of the electronic device 3 does not contact the surface of the keyboard 2.
[0074] In practical applications, at least a portion of the first support portion 1101 can be disposed between the first region 111 and the second region 112. When the keyboard cover 1 is in the first state, this portion of the first support portion 1101 can abut against the bottom edge of the electronic device 3, which is inclined relative to the base 11, to ensure the stability of the electronic device 3 when it is tilted.
[0075] The first support portion 1101 located between the first region 111 and the first region 111 can be configured to extend along the length direction of the base 11, and a magnetic attraction member can be provided on the first support portion 1101 to magnetically attract the bottom edge of the electronic device 3.
[0076] Of course, in practical applications, when the keyboard cover 1 is in the first state and the connector 13 is connected to the electronic device 3, for example when the connector 13 and the back of the electronic device 3 can be magnetically attracted, the first support 1101 can be separated from the bottom edge of the electronic device 3. That is, the first support 1101 located between the first region 111 and the second region 112 does not need to abut against the bottom edge of the inclined electronic device 3.
[0077] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first support portion 1101 can be multiple support bars, a portion of which extends along the length direction of the base 11, and another portion of which extends along the width direction of the base 11. The multiple support bars can be spaced apart from each other along the circumference of the first region 111, or they can be connected end-to-end along the circumference of the first region 111; there is no specific limitation on this.
[0078] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first support portion 1101 is provided with a clearance structure 101, and at least part of the clearance structure 101 is formed at a position corresponding to the space key on the keyboard 2.
[0079] It is understood that the avoidance structure 101 is located on the side of the first region 111 away from the second region 112. The avoidance structure 101 can be configured as a partition structure or a groove structure formed on the first support portion 1101. By setting the avoidance structure 101 at a position corresponding to the space bar on the keyboard 2, it is convenient for the user to manually press the space bar and the keys in the vicinity.
[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the base 11 also includes a second support portion 1102, which is arranged circumferentially along the second region 112. When the keyboard cover 1 is in the second state, the second support portion 1102 is supported on the back of the electronic device 3 which is placed horizontally relative to the base 11, and the foldable support member 12 and the connector 13 are hidden in the area enclosed by the second support portion 1102.
[0081] Understandably, when the electronic device 3 is placed horizontally on the base 11, while the second support part 1102 provides support for the back of the electronic device 3, it also covers the structure between the electronic device 3 and the second area 112 of the base 11, preventing the user from seeing the foldable support 12 and connector 13 stored in the second area 112, which helps to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the keyboard case 1 when it is in the second state.
[0082] Similarly, the second support portion 1102 can be multiple support bars, a portion of which extends along the length direction of the base 11, and another portion of which extends along the width direction of the base 11. Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the structure in which the support bar extends along the width of the base 11.
[0083] Of course, since the keyboard case 1 can provide support for the back of the electronic device 3 by using the foldable support 12 and connector 13 when it is in the second state, the second support part 1102 does not need to be set around the second area 112 without affecting the normal use of the keyboard case 1.
[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the foldable support 12 includes a first support plate 121, a second support plate 122 and a third support plate 123;
[0085] The first support plate 121, the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are rotatably connected in sequence, and the side of the first support plate 121 away from the second support plate 122 is rotatably connected to the base 11.
[0086] The first end of the connector 13 is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the second end of the connector 13 is rotatably connected to the foldable support 12, and is connected between the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123.
[0087] Understandably, in practical applications, users can set the included angle between any two adjacent components of the base 11, the first support plate 121, the second support plate 122, and the third support plate 123 to adjust the foldable support 12 to the desired extended state.
[0088] Meanwhile, by setting the first end of the connector 13 to be rotatably connected to the base 11 and the second end of the connector 13 to be rotatably connected to the foldable support 12, it can be ensured that the connector 13 can adapt to the switching of the extension state of the foldable support 12 and switch its position accordingly. It can also provide auxiliary support for the foldable support 12 at the same time, ensuring that the foldable support 12 can maintain good stability in each extension state.
[0089] In practical applications, the foldable support 12 can be configured to include a first leather layer and a second leather layer. A first inner lining sheet, a second inner lining sheet, and a third inner lining sheet are disposed between the first leather layer and the second leather layer. The first inner lining sheet, the second inner lining sheet, and the third inner lining sheet are arranged sequentially at intervals along the extension direction of the foldable support 12. The area of the foldable support 12 corresponding to the first inner lining sheet is formed as a first support plate 121. This design allows the area of the foldable support 12 corresponding to the second inner lining sheet to be formed as a second support plate 122, and the area of the foldable support 12 corresponding to the third inner lining sheet to be formed as a third support plate 123. Any two adjacent supports among the first support plate 121, the second support plate 122, and the third support plate 123 can be folded or rotated relative to each other.
[0090] The first inner lining sheet, the second inner lining sheet, and the third inner lining sheet can all be made of plastic sheets, iron sheets, or other materials.
[0091] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the foldable support 12 has a first extended state and a second extended state; when the foldable support 12 is in the first extended state, the first support plate 121 and the base 11 are set at an angle, the second support plate 122 and the first support plate 121 are set at an angle, and the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are respectively configured to be attached to the back of the electronic device 3.
[0092] like Figure 8 As shown, the first support plate 121 can be configured to tilt towards one side of the base 11, and the included angle between the first support plate 121 and the base 11 is α1, which can be an acute angle or a right angle; the second support plate 122 can be configured to tilt towards the side away from the base 11 relative to the first support plate 121, and the included angle between the second support plate 122 and the first support plate 121 is β1, which can be a right angle or an obtuse angle. The second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are approximately distributed on the same plane to ensure that the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 can respectively adhere to the back of the electronic device 3.
[0093] Thus, based on the first extended state of the foldable support 12, the foldable support 12 and the connector 13 cooperate to provide support for the electronic device 3 with an angle of tilt θ1. Wherein, θ1 = β1 - α1.
[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, when the foldable support 12 is in the second extended state, the first support plate 121 has an angle of 180° with respect to the base 11, the first support plate 121 and the second support plate 122 are set at an angle, the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are set at an angle, and the third support plate 123 is configured to fit against the back of the electronic device 3.
[0095] like Figure 10 As shown, the first support plate 121 extends along the width direction of the base 11 and is approximately distributed on the same horizontal plane as the base 11. The second support plate 122 can be configured to be inclined relative to the first support plate 121 towards the base 11, and the included angle between the second support plate 122 and the first support plate 121 is α2, which can be an acute angle or a right angle. The third support plate 123 can be configured to be inclined relative to the second support plate 122 towards the side away from the base 11, and the included angle between the third support plate 123 and the second support plate 122 is β2, which can be an obtuse angle or a right angle. Thus, based on the second extended state of the foldable support member 12, the foldable support member 12 and the connector 13 cooperate to provide support for the electronic device 3 with an inclination angle of θ2. Where θ2 = β2 - α2, and θ2 < θ1.
[0096] In some embodiments, at least one of the first support plate 121, the second support plate 122, and the third support plate 123 is a magnetic plate, for example, the first support plate 121, the second support plate 122, and the third support plate 123 are all configured as magnetic plates.
[0097] When the keyboard cover is in the first state, at least one of the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 is configured to magnetically engage with the electronic device 3. This design facilitates the connection between the electronic device 3 and the foldable support 12 when supporting the tilted electronic device 3.
[0098] When the keyboard cover is in the second state, at least one of the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 is configured to magnetically engage with the first support plate 121. This design can ensure that the foldable support 12 maintains its folded state well and avoids loosening between the second support plate 122 and the first support plate 121, or between the third support plate 123 and the first support plate 121.
[0099] In practical applications, the magnetic plate can be attracted to the permanent magnet inside the electronic device 3. This can be achieved by placing permanent magnets in the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123, thus making the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 into magnetic plates. Correspondingly, permanent magnets can also be placed in the first support plate 121, thus making the first support plate 121 into a magnetic plate.
[0100] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, both the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are magnetic plates. When the foldable support member 12 is in the first extended state, since the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are approximately distributed on the same plane, it ensures that the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are in contact with the back of the electronic device 3, and also ensures that the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are magnetically attracted to the electronic device 3.
[0101] For example, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the third support plate 123 is set as a magnetic plate. When the foldable support member 12 is in the second extended state, it ensures that the third support plate 123 is in contact with the back of the electronic device 3, and also ensures that the third support plate 123 is magnetically attracted to the electronic device 3.
[0102] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the surface of the third support plate 123 is provided with a receiving groove 1203, which is configured to accommodate a foot, which is formed on the back of the electronic device 3.
[0103] It is understandable that since the back of the electronic device 3 is usually provided with a foot, the setting of the foot will affect the attachment state between the back of the electronic device 3 and the third support plate 123. Therefore, in this embodiment, by accommodating the foot with the receiving groove 1203, it can be ensured that there is no gap between the back of the electronic device 3 and the third support plate 123 and that they can be kept in close contact. This is also conducive to ensuring the magnetic attraction effect between the third support plate 123 and the electronic device 3.
[0104] Multiple receiving slots 1203 can be provided, and the multiple receiving slots 1203 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple feet on the electronic device 3.
[0105] In some embodiments, when the foldable support 12 is in a folded state, the first support plate 121 is disposed in conjunction with the second region 112, and the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are distributed on the upper side of the first support plate 121.
[0106] It is understandable that, such as Figure 2As shown, the length of the foldable support 12 along the length direction of the base 11 is less than or equal to the length of the second region 112 along the length direction of the base 11. Along the extending direction of the foldable support 12, the width of the first support plate 121 is greater than or equal to the sum of the widths of the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123, and the width of the first support plate 121 is less than or equal to the width of the second region 112 along the width direction of the base 11, wherein the width of the third support plate 123 can be set to be less than the width of the second support plate 122.
[0107] Thus, when the foldable support 12 is in the folded state, the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 are distributed on the same layer and stacked on the upper side of the first support plate 121, so as to store the entire foldable support 12 in the second area 112 and achieve the lightweight design of the keyboard case 1 in the stored state.
[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 11 contains a functional device that is electrically connected to the keyboard 2. The second region 112 has a boss 1121, which is located at a position corresponding to the functional device. The functional device may be a circuit board adapted to the keyboard 2 or a wireless communication module such as Bluetooth or WiFi. The wireless communication module is configured to wirelessly connect with the electronic device 3.
[0109] Meanwhile, the first support plate 121 is provided with a receiving structure, and when the foldable support member 12 is in the folded state, at least part of the boss 1121 is housed in the receiving structure.
[0110] In practical applications, the receiving structure can be a groove-shaped structure formed on the surface of the first support plate 121, or a through hole opened on the first support plate 121. Any structure that can accommodate the boss 1121 is acceptable, and there is no specific limitation on this.
[0111] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the receiving structure can be configured as an opening 1201. When the foldable support 12 is in a folded state, at least a portion of the boss 1121 passes through the opening 1201. For example, when the foldable support 12 is in a folded state, the boss 1121 passes through the opening 1201 of the horizontally distributed first support plate 121, and the top of the boss 1121 is approximately flush with the top surface of the first support plate 121.
[0112] Thus, when the keyboard case 1 stores the horizontally distributed electronic devices 3, by providing an opening 1201 on the first support plate 121, it can be ensured that the protrusion 1121 on the base 11 passes through the opening 1201. Therefore, the presence of the protrusion 1121 will not affect the folding of the foldable support 12, ensuring that the foldable support 12 is stored in the second area 112 on the base 11 in a folded state, which helps to reduce the thickness of the keyboard case 1 in the stored state.
[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when no boss 1121 is provided in the second region 112 of the base 11, the first support plate 121 of the foldable support member 12 does not need to be provided with an opening 1201 corresponding to the boss 1121.
[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the connector 13 includes multiple connecting plates 131, which are rotatably connected in sequence; when the keyboard cover 1 is in the first state, at least some of the connecting plates 131 are in contact with the back of the electronic device 3.
[0115] It is understood that, according to the arrangement of the multiple connecting plates 131, one of the connecting plates 131 at the front end is rotatably connected between the first region 111 and the second region 112 corresponding to the base 11, and one of the connecting plates 131 at the rear end is rotatably connected between the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 corresponding to the foldable support member 12. The connector 13 may be provided with three or more connecting plates 131.
[0116] In practical applications, such as Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, regardless of whether the foldable support 12 is in the first extended state or the second extended state, the connecting plates 131 corresponding to the connector 13 are approximately on the same inclined plane, which can ensure that each connecting plate 131 is in contact with the back of the electronic device 3 to provide support for the inclined electronic device 3.
[0117] Of course, when the connector 13 is a shapeable folding part, that is, the different connecting plates 131 corresponding to the connector 13 can maintain a fixed angle, then according to actual needs, a part of the connecting plates 131 can be attached to the back of the electronic device 3, and another part of the connecting plates 131 can be set at an angle relative to the back of the electronic device 3.
[0118] In some embodiments, when the keyboard cover 1 supports the tilted electronic device 3, at least part of the connecting plate 131 can be configured as a magnetic plate that can be attracted to the electronic device 3, so as to ensure the stability of the tilted distribution of the electronic device 3 by utilizing the magnetic connection between the connecting plate 131 and the electronic device 3.
[0119] In practical applications, the connector 13 can be configured to include a third leather layer and a fourth leather layer, with multiple inner lining pieces provided between the third leather layer and the fourth leather layer. The multiple inner lining pieces are arranged sequentially at intervals along the extension direction of the connector 13. The connector 13 forms a connecting plate 131 corresponding to the area of each inner lining piece, and any two adjacent connecting plates 131 can be folded or rotated relative to each other.
[0120] The inner lining sheet may be provided with block-shaped or sheet-shaped permanent magnets to further construct the connecting plate 131 as a magnetic plate.
[0121] At the same time, since the tilted electronic devices 3 have a tendency to slide down toward the base 11, one or more of the multiple connecting plates 131 that are closest to the base 11 are configured as magnetic plates as much as possible.
[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the communication connection between the keyboard 2 and the base 11, the foldable support 12 and / or the connector 13 are provided with a first conductive contact 1301. The first conductive contact 1301 is configured to contact a second conductive contact and be electrically connected to the keyboard 2. The second conductive contact is formed on the back of the electronic device 3.
[0123] It is understandable that both the first conductive contact 1301 and the second conductive contact can be pogopin contacts.
[0124] Since at least one of the multiple connecting plates 131 contacts the back of the electronic device 3 and can achieve magnetic attraction when the foldable support 12 is in the extended state, the first conductive contact 1301 can be disposed on any of the multiple connecting plates 131. Optionally, the first conductive contact 1301 is disposed on the surface of one of the multiple connecting plates 131 near the base 11.
[0125] Meanwhile, since at least one of the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123 is in contact with the back of the electronic device 3 and can achieve magnetic attraction when the foldable support member 12 is in the extended state, the first conductive contact 1301 can be disposed on at least one of the second support plate 122 and the third support plate 123. Optionally, the first conductive contact 1301 can be disposed on the surface of the third support plate 123.
[0126] Since the connecting plate 131 and the electronic device 3 are magnetically attracted, the magnetic attraction design ensures the stability of the electronic device 3 relative to the connecting piece 13 and also ensures the reliability of the electrical connection between the first conductive contact 1301 and the second conductive contact.
[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the second region 112 of the base 11 forms a storage groove 1122. When the keyboard cover 1 is in the second state, multiple connecting plates 131 are stacked and distributed and stored in the storage groove 1122.
[0128] It is understandable that the width of each connecting plate 131 is approximately the same along the extension direction of the connector 13. When storing the connector 13, each connecting plate 131 can be folded in opposite directions of rotation to ensure that each connecting plate 131 is stacked from bottom to top.
[0129] Thus, by setting a storage slot 1122 in the second area 112 of the base 11, the folded connector 13 can be stored in the storage slot 1122, which helps to reduce the thickness of the keyboard case 1 in the stored state.
[0130] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the surfaces of the first support plate 121 and / or the second support plate 122 are provided with grooves 1202, which are configured to accommodate at least a portion of the connecting plate 131. The grooves 1202 can be provided in the central regions of both the first support plate 121 and the second support plate 122.
[0131] In practical applications, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, when the foldable support 12 is in the extended state, the connecting plates 131 corresponding to the connector 13 are roughly distributed on the same plane. A portion of the connecting plates 131 near the foldable support 12 can be accommodated in the groove 1202 corresponding to the second support plate 122. This design helps to ensure that the connecting plates 131 and the back of the electronic device 3 maintain a good fit.
[0132] Correspondingly, when the foldable support 12 is in the folded state, both the foldable support 12 and the connector 13 are in the folded state. The connecting plate 131 at the top of the connector 13 is accommodated in the groove 1202 corresponding to the first support plate 121. This design helps to reduce the thickness of the keyboard cover 1 in the stored state.
[0133] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 11 As shown, the keyboard case 1 also includes a cover plate 14, which is rotatably connected to the base 11. The cover plate 14 can be flipped to the front of the base 11 and to the back of the base 11.
[0134] It is understandable that the cover plate 14 can be made of leather material, and the cover plate 14 can be glued to the side of the base 11 closest to the user, or it can be integrated with the side of the base 11 closest to the user.
[0135] like Figure 1 As shown, when the keyboard cover 1 supports the tilted electronic device 3, the cover 14 can be flipped to the side of the base 11 closer to the user, and the cover 14 and the base 11 are set to be roughly horizontally distributed. For example, the cover 14 and the base 11 are both placed on a horizontal table. At this time, the cover 14 can hold the mouse, and the mouse is connected to the keyboard 2.
[0136] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, when the keyboard cover 1 supports the tilted electronic device 3, the cover plate 14 can be flipped to the back of the base 11, so that the keyboard cover 1 is placed on a horizontal table based on the cover plate 14.
[0137] like Figure 11 As shown, when the keyboard cover 1 stores the horizontally distributed electronic devices 3, the cover 14 flips to the front of the base 11 and covers the front of the electronic devices 3.
[0138] like Figure 12 As shown, when the keyboard cover 1 is in the second state, the foldable support 12 and the connector 13 are both folded, and the cover 14 is located on the back of the base 11. At this time, the horizontally distributed electronic device 3 can be placed on top of the keyboard 2, the foldable support 12, and the connector 13. Then, the cover 14 is flipped to the front of the base 11 to cover the front of the electronic device 3. Figure 11 The structure shown completes the storage of electronic device 3.
[0139] The cover plate 14 can be equipped with sensing elements such as Hall sensors. When the cover plate 14 is placed on the front of the electronic device 3, the electronic device 3 can recognize the sensing elements and automatically enter the screen-off or screen-locked state.
[0140] In the second aspect, such as Figure 13 As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides an electronic device component, including: an electronic device 3 and a keyboard cover 1 as described above.
[0141] Understandably, electronic device 3 could be a smartphone, tablet, or similar device.
[0142] Since the electronic device component includes a keyboard case 1, and the specific structure of the keyboard case 1 is as described in the above embodiments, the electronic device component of this embodiment includes all the technical solutions of the above embodiments. Therefore, it has at least all the beneficial effects achieved by all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0143] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
