Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-release hook, and more particularly to a quick-release hook for a mobile phone protective case. Background Technology

[0002] Modern mobile phone parts are sophisticated and expensive, so most users purchase a protective case when they buy a phone to provide further protection against drops or scratches. For ease of carrying and use, mobile phone lanyard accessories are available on the market. These accessories mainly consist of a buckle and a lanyard. The buckle has a protrusion for attaching a buckle. Users clip the buckle between the phone case and the phone, with the protrusion extending out of the charging port pre-drilled in the protective case, thus creating a buckle structure on the phone case. Users then hook the lanyard onto the buckle, allowing them to hang the phone on their person for easy carrying and access.

[0003] To prevent the aforementioned buckle from occupying part of the charging port space and affecting the phone's charging function, the manufacturer has also developed a separate phone lanyard accessory set. It mainly includes two female connectors and one male connector lanyard. The female connector has a buckle structure and can be inserted into two speaker holes that are fixed to the protective case. The two ends of the male connector lanyard are respectively equipped with hook structures and are fastened to the two female connectors by hooks. In this way, in addition to having the same lanyard function to make it convenient for users to carry, it can also avoid blocking the charging port and affecting the charging function.

[0004] However, both of the aforementioned types of mobile phone lanyard accessories share the same drawbacks. Firstly, because the angle between the lanyard and the buckle is fixed, the lanyard is prone to tangling during prolonged user movement or shaking. This requires the user to untangle the tangled lanyard to use the phone, causing considerable inconvenience. Secondly, the overall structure of the hook type is bulky. When a phone with the lanyard attached is placed on a table, the width of the hook structure is greater than the thickness of the phone, causing it to tilt unevenly and preventing the phone from lying stably. In addition, the hook can easily rub against clothing, damaging the surface or causing a foreign body sensation to the wearer. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these problems and drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, this utility model provides a quick-release hook for a protective shell, which is installed on the protective shell by a female seat and the male seat is rotatably connected to a hanging rope, so that the hanging rope can rotate relative to the female seat when the male seat is inserted into the female seat.

[0006] To achieve the aforementioned creative objectives, the technical means employed in this utility model is to design a quick-release hook for a protective case, which is used to install on a protective case. This quick-release hook comprises:

[0007] A female base has an upper end and a lower end, the lower end having a mounting hole, and a mounting portion formed on the lower end adjacent to the mounting hole. The female base is disposed on the protective shell with the upper end.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective shell quick-release hook has two connecting parts, two side openings arranged opposite to each other, and an elastic element disposed between the connecting parts.

[0012] Furthermore, the quick-release hook of the protective case includes a hook portion and a pressing portion in each of the connecting parts. The hook portion protrudes from one end of the pressing portion and extends laterally. The hook portion is used to fasten the mounting portion, and the pressing portion passes through the corresponding side opening.

[0013] Furthermore, in the quick-release hook of the protective shell, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod is recessed to form an annular groove, one end of the rotating rod is provided with a connecting hole, the connecting rod passes through the connecting hole and a ring is fitted into the annular groove.

[0014] Furthermore, in the quick-release hook of the protective shell, one end of the rotating rod extends laterally to form a movable space, and the connecting hole is connected to the movable space.

[0015] Furthermore, the quick-release hook of the protective shell further includes a sleeve in the rotating part, the other end of the rotating rod is a hollow column with an external thread on the outer wall, the sleeve has an internal thread, and the sleeve is fitted onto the rotating rod and fixed by the combination of the internal thread and the external thread.

[0016] Furthermore, in the quick-release hook of the protective case, the upper end of the female base has an annular flange, and the width of the upper end is greater than the width of the lower end.

[0017] Furthermore, the quick-release hook of the protective shell has two wings on the male seat, which are arranged opposite to each other on the connecting part and extend toward the rotating part to form a sheet-like structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the quick-release hook of the protective shell further includes a male base with an opening on at least one side, which communicates with the mounting hole.

[0019] The advantages of this utility model are that it has the convenience of quick assembly and disassembly of the male and female seats. Because the rotating part can rotate, the lanyard connected to the rotating part can rotate relative to the shell of the male seat. Therefore, the user can prevent the lanyard from getting tangled due to repeated rotation and crossing during use. Since both the male and female seats are flat, the overall thickness can be reduced, preventing the phone from tilting up when placed on the table. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments of the present invention, further illustrates the technical means employed by the present invention to achieve its intended creative purpose.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the quick-release hook for the protective shell of this utility model includes a female seat 10 and a male seat 20.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the female base 10 is a long ring-shaped body with an upper end 11 and a lower end 12. The upper end 11 has an annular flange 111, and the width of the upper end 11 is greater than the width of the lower end 12. The lower end 12 has a mounting hole 121, and a mounting portion 122 is formed on the lower end 12 adjacent to the mounting hole 121. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 122 is a protruding structure that protrudes from the inner edges of the two opposite ends of the mounting hole 121, but it is not limited thereto.

[0032] Please see Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the male seat 20 includes a connecting part 21 and a rotating part 22. The connecting part 21 includes a housing 211, at least one connecting member 212, and an elastic member 213. The shape of the housing 211 corresponds to the shape of the female seat 10. It has a receiving space and an upper opening 214 communicating with the receiving space, at least one side opening 215, and at least one side opening 24. In this embodiment, the two side openings 215 are arranged opposite each other from left to right, and the two side openings 24 are arranged opposite each other from front to back. The side openings 24 are elongated holes, but this is not a limitation. A connecting rod 216 protrudes from the bottom end of the housing 211. The outer peripheral surface of the connecting rod 216 is recessed to form an annular groove 217. In this embodiment, there are two connecting parts 212, but this is not a limitation. Each connecting part 212 includes a hook portion 218 and a pressing portion 219. The hook portion 218 is in the shape of a barb, and the pressing portion 219 is a long rod. The hook portion 218 protrudes from one end of the pressing portion 219 and extends laterally before bending to be approximately parallel to the pressing portion 219. The two connecting parts 212 are disposed opposite each other in the housing 211, and the pressing portion 219 protrudes through the side opening 215. An elastic element 213 is disposed between the two connecting parts 212. Specifically, the elastic element 213 is a compression spring, and its two opposite ends abut against the two connecting parts 212 respectively. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the two connecting parts 212 can be separated or brought closer together by the elastic member 213; one end of the opening 214 above the connecting part 21 is inserted into the mounting part 122 of the female seat 10, and is fastened to the mounting part 122 by two hook parts 218 to achieve a fixed connection to prevent separation, but it is not limited to this. The form of the connecting part 21 can be changed according to the user's needs. For example, only one connecting part 212 is installed in one side opening 215 and an elastic member 213 is set between the connecting part 212 and the housing 211.

[0033] The rotating part 22 includes a rotating rod 221, a sleeve 222, and a ring 223. One end of the rotating rod 221 extends laterally to form a movable space, and a connecting hole 224 is provided on the end face, which is connected to the movable space. The other end of the rotating rod 221 is a hollow cylindrical body, and at least one fixing hole 225 is provided laterally. The outer wall surface of the other end of the rotating rod 221 is formed with external threads. The sleeve 222 is a hollow tube with internal threads. The sleeve 222 is fitted onto the rotating rod 221 and fixed by the combination of internal and external threads. The rotating part 22 is fitted onto the connecting rod 216 of the housing 211 through the connecting hole 224, and the C-shaped ring 223 is fitted onto the annular groove 217 on the connecting rod 216, thereby achieving a rotatable connection. However, this is not a limitation, and the form of the rotating part 22 can be changed according to the user's needs.

[0034] When using this utility model, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 As shown, taking a mobile phone case 30 as an example, the mobile phone case 30 has a speaker hole 31. The upper end 11 of the female connector 10 is installed in the speaker hole 31, so that the female connector 10 and the mobile phone case 30 are combined and fixed. Before the mounting hole 121 of the female connector 10 is inserted into the male connector 20, it can maintain unobstructed sound transmission of the mobile phone. The rotating part 22 of the male connector 20 is connected to a lanyard 40 by the other end of the rotating rod 221. Specifically, one end of the lanyard 40 passes through the sleeve 222 and then passes through the rotating rod 221. The lanyard 40 is fixed to the rotating rod 221 through the fixing hole 225 of the fastener (not shown in the figure). Then the sleeve 222 is used to lock the rotating rod 221, thereby achieving the combination and fixation of the lanyard 40 and the male connector 20.

[0035] The male seat 20 is inserted into the mounting hole 121 of the female seat 10 by the user pressing the pressing part 219 of the connecting member 212, causing the two hook parts 218 to come closer together. After insertion, the user releases the hand, causing the two hook parts 218 to separate due to the elastic force of the elastic member 213. The hook parts 218 hook onto the mounting part 122, achieving a quick connection function. When the user wants to remove the hanging rope 40, they only need to press the two pressing parts 219 again to quickly detach the male seat 20 from the female seat 10. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the mobile phone protective case 30 has two speaker holes 31 and each speaker hole 31 is equipped with a female connector 10. Then, the two ends of the lanyard 40 are connected to a male connector 20, and the two male connectors 20 are then inserted into the two female connectors 10 respectively, but this is not a limitation.

[0036] Please refer to the above process. Figure 8 As shown, in addition to the convenience of quick assembly and disassembly, because the rotating part 22 can rotate, the hanging rope 40 can rotate relative to the housing 211 of the male seat 20. Therefore, the user can prevent the hanging rope 40 from getting tangled due to multiple rotations and crossings during use.

[0037] In the aforementioned process, since both the male seat 20 and the female seat 10 are flat, the overall thickness can be reduced, thus preventing the phone from tilting up when placed on a table.

[0038] During the aforementioned process, even when the phone case 30 is connected to the lanyard 40, the side opening 24 of the seat 20 can have the function of discharging the sound emitted by the phone speaker, thus preventing the sound from being blocked.

[0039] Please see Figure 9 As shown, this is another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the female seat 10 is the same as the aforementioned embodiment, the main difference being that the shell 211A of the male seat 20A is different. Specifically, the shell 211A of the male seat 20A further forms two wings 23A, which are disposed opposite to each other at the two ends of the shell 211A near the side opening 215A and extend toward the bottom to form a sheet-like structure. In this way, when the user applies pressure to the pressing part 219A to insert or pull out, the wings 23A can provide more support to the hand to improve the user's operating feel.

[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Anyone skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content as equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
