Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile phones, and more particularly to a mobile phone case. Background Technology
[0002] Phone cases protect your phone from drops and damage. Based on the material's hardness, phone cases can be divided into soft cases and hard cases. Soft cases are comfortable to hold and easy to remove, but they are prone to deformation and offer only average protection. Hard cases are less prone to deformation and offer better protection, but they are more difficult to remove and can easily scratch the phone's frame when removed.
[0003] In related technologies, a hard material is used to make the back panel of the phone case, while a soft material is used to make the frame of the phone case, which can alleviate the problem of the phone frame being scratched when disassembling it to some extent.
[0004] However, when removing a phone case, the back panel needs to be bent to separate the case from the phone. If the back panel of the phone case is made of hard material, and only the frame is made of soft material, the frame needs to be deformed significantly to expose a corner of the phone, which can easily lead to damage to the frame. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application provides a mobile phone case that can reduce the deformation of the frame.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a mobile phone case, which includes a housing, a support piece, and a disassembly component. The housing includes a back panel and a frame, the frame being connected to the periphery of the back panel. The frame and the back panel together form a receiving groove for accommodating a mobile phone. Both the back panel and the frame are capable of elastic deformation. The back panel has four corners. The support piece is disposed on the side of the back panel away from the frame and is integrally formed with the back panel to enhance the structural strength of the mobile phone case. The disassembly component is disposed at one corner of the back panel and is connected to both the back panel and the frame. The disassembly component facilitates the disassembly and installation of the mobile phone case.
[0007] Beneficial effects: The mobile phone case of this application embodiment has a shell and a support piece. The support piece can support the back plate of the shell, thereby increasing the strength of the back plate. The disassembly component is located at one corner of the back plate, making it easy to separate that corner of the back plate from the mobile phone, thus facilitating the disassembly of the mobile phone case.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first aspect of this application provides a mobile phone case 100, which is used to cover the outer surface of a mobile phone 200 to protect the mobile phone 200.
[0026] The phone case 100 includes a housing 110, a support piece 120, and a disassembly component 130.
[0027] The housing 110 includes a back panel 111 and a frame 112. The frame 112 is connected to the periphery of the back panel 111. The frame 112 and the back panel 111 together form a receiving groove 110a for placing the mobile phone 200. When the mobile phone 200 is accommodated in the receiving groove 110a, the housing 110 can protect the mobile phone 200. Both the frame 112 and the back panel 111 are capable of elastic deformation. For example, both the frame 112 and the back panel 111 are made of flexible materials.
[0028] The casing 110 can be made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). TPE is softer and has a more comfortable feel. TPU is slightly harder and is suitable for scenarios that require both protection and a slim design. The casing 110 can absorb the impact of a drop on the phone 200, disperse the energy of the drop, protect the screen and body, and reduce the risk of damage to the internal components of the phone 200.
[0029] Since the back of the phone 200 is roughly rectangular, and the shape of the back panel 111 is similar to that of the phone 200, the back panel 111 has four corners. It should be noted that the four corners may be right angles or rounded corners, depending on the outline shape of the phone 200's frame.
[0030] The support sheet 120 is a rigid sheet, which provides better protection and better thermal conductivity, thus improving the thermal conductivity of the phone case 100. The support sheet 120 can be made of PC (polycarbonate) or Kevlar, and PC and Kevlar can be bonded to the case 110 through bonding, injection molding, or overmolding processes. PC has good light transmittance, is not prone to yellowing, and can maintain high transparency for a long time, effectively showcasing the original color of the phone 200. Kevlar is lightweight, resistant to daily scratches, friction, and chemical corrosion, and is not easily deformed or yellowed.
[0031] The support piece 120 is located on the side of the back panel 111 away from the frame 112. The support piece 120 and the back panel 111 are integrally set. The flexible back panel 111 can fit the body of the mobile phone 200, reduce the gap between the mobile phone 200 and the back panel 111, and disperse the energy of the drop. The support piece 120 has better drop resistance and less deformation when it is impacted. The back panel 111 of the mobile phone case 100 adopts a combination of soft and hard, which can combine the advantages of the hard shell and the shell 110 at the same time, resulting in better drop resistance and improving the structural strength of the mobile phone case 100.
[0032] The detachable component 130 is disposed at at least one corner of the back panel 111. The detachable component 130 is connected to both the back panel 111 and the frame 112. The detachable component 130 is used to make at least one corner of the phone case 100 easily detached from the phone 200, so as to facilitate the removal and installation of the phone case 100.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the disassembly component 130 is integrally formed with the back panel 111 and the frame 112, and the support piece 120 covers part of the back panel 111 to avoid the disassembly component 130. The disassembly component 130 can deform to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the mobile phone 200 case 100.
[0034] For example, the support piece 120 includes a rigid portion 121 and a clearance portion 122. The rigid portion 121 covers the back plate 111, and the clearance portion 122 is provided corresponding to the disassembly component 130. The clearance portion 122 does not restrict the deformation of the disassembly component 130. For example, the clearance portion 122 can be a gap provided corresponding to the disassembly component 130, that is, no component is covered on the disassembly component 130. Alternatively, the clearance portion 122 can be a flexible component, that is, a flexible component is covered on the disassembly component 130. Alternatively, the clearance portion 122 can be a component that moves relative to the rigid portion 121. For example, the clearance portion 122 is hinged to the rigid portion 121, or the clearance portion 122 and the rigid portion 121 are provided independently at a distance, so that when the disassembly component 130 is bent, the clearance portion 122 can bend synchronously with the disassembly component 130.
[0035] It should be noted that the back panel 111 is covered with a rigid part 121, making it difficult to bend or deform. However, the detachable part 130 is not covered with a rigid part, allowing it to deform. That is, at least one corner of the phone case 100 can be bent and lifted, making it easy to detach the phone case 100 from the phone 200.
[0036] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the back panel 111, the surface of the support piece 120 facing away from the frame 112 is flush with the surface of the disassembly component 130 facing away from the frame 112, thereby making the back of the phone case 100 relatively flat and less prone to accumulating dirt, while also providing a relatively good feel when the user holds the phone case 100.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the disassembly component 130 includes an integrally formed first component 131 and a second component 132. The first component 131 is connected to and parallel to the back panel 111, and the second component 132 is connected to the frame 112 and is perpendicular to the back panel 111. Both the first component 131 and the second component 132 can be deformed, thereby making the phone case 100 easy to disassemble.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a lens frame 160 is provided on the back panel 111, and the detachable component 130 is arranged diagonally opposite to the lens frame 160. The lens module of the mobile phone 200 is set corresponding to the lens frame 160. As users have increasingly higher requirements for the camera function of the mobile phone 200, the thickness of the lens module is usually thicker than the body, so it is often difficult to disassemble it starting from one corner of the lens frame 160. Moreover, in order to achieve a protective effect and prevent the lens module from being bumped, the lens frame 160 is often a rigid component itself, or the lens frame 160 is often provided with a rigid protective frame, making the lens frame 160 difficult to bend and deform, thus also increasing the difficulty of disassembly.
[0039] The detachable component 130 is diagonally positioned opposite the lens frame 160, which makes the detachable component 130 relatively far away from the lens frame 160. Therefore, when the detachable component 130 is deformed and lifted, it has less interference with the lens frame 160, and the deformation of the lens frame 160 is relatively small. The detachable component 130 can undergo greater deformation, which makes the phone case 100 easy to remove.
[0040] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a sliding hole 112a is provided on the frame 112, and the disassembly component 130 includes a push-up button 140, which is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 112a. Optionally, the size of the push-up button 140 is adapted to the size of the slide groove 140a, so that the push-up button 140 is more stable and has less wobble when sliding.
[0041] The push-up button 140 has a first inclined wall 141 that is tilted relative to the back panel 111. When the push-up button 140 slides inward toward the frame 112, the first inclined wall 141 abuts against the phone 200, causing the phone 200 to tilt relative to the phone case 100. That is, the push-up button 140 is inserted between the phone 200 and the back panel 111. As the push-up button 140 is inserted, the phone 200 is pushed up by the push-up button 140, thus causing the phone 200 to tilt relative to the phone case 100. Since the frame 112 is made of a flexible material, the frame 112 can undergo a certain degree of deformation, allowing the phone 200 to tilt smoothly. At this time, the support plate and the back panel 111 basically do not need to deform.
[0042] Optionally, the material of the push-up button 140 has relatively low hardness, thereby avoiding wear and tear on the outer surface of the phone 200 caused by the push-up button 140.
[0043] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is no need to provide a flexible deformation part on the back plate 111 and no need to provide an avoidance part 122 on the support plate 120. The support plate can completely cover the back plate 111, which is beneficial to improving the protective performance of the phone case 100.
[0044] In some embodiments, the push-up button 140 has a first limit position for sliding inward toward the frame 112 and a second limit position for sliding outward toward the frame 112. When the push-up button 140 is in the first limit position, the push-up button 140 pushes the phone 200 up relative to the phone case 100, thereby facilitating the removal of the phone case 100.
[0045] When the push-up button 140 is in the second extreme position, the push-up button 140 is spaced apart from or abuts against the phone 200, but the push-up button 140 does not lift the phone 200, so that the phone 200 can be installed inside the phone case 100. At this time, the push-up button 140 is flush with the frame 112 or accommodated in the sliding hole 112a, that is, the push-up button 140 does not protrude from the frame 112, thereby preventing the user from accidentally touching it and causing the phone 200 to lift up, or preventing the push-up button 140 from colliding with the ground when the phone case 100 is dropped, thus preventing the phone 200 from being accidentally lifted up.
[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the push-up button 140 is provided with a groove 140a, and the inner wall of the sliding hole 112a is provided with a first protrusion 113, which slides in conjunction with the groove 140a. The first protrusion 113 can improve the structural strength of the frame 112, making the frame 112 more protective, and can also restrict the push-up button 140 from moving in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction, thereby improving the stability of the push-up button 140 when sliding.
[0047] like Figure 7and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the push-up button 140 is provided with a limiting groove 140b, and the inner wall of the sliding hole 112a is provided with a second protrusion 114. The second protrusion 114 slides in cooperation with the limiting groove 140b to limit the travel of the push-up button 140. When the push-up button 140 is pressed to the first limit position, the second protrusion 114 abuts against one end of the limiting groove 140b, thereby physically limiting the range of movement of the push-up button 140 and preventing damage to the internal structure due to excessive pressing. When the push-up button 140 is pressed to the second limit position, the second protrusion 114 abuts against the other end of the limiting groove 140b to prevent the push-up button 140 from falling off the frame 112.
[0048] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the second protrusion 114 has a second inclined wall 1141. When the push button 140 slides inward toward the frame 112, the second inclined wall 1141 can lift the push button 140. Under normal circumstances, when the push button 140 moves to the first extreme position, it can already lift the phone 200 to a height that is easy to disassemble. If the user needs to continue to lift the phone 200 higher, the user can continue to press the push button 140, causing the push button 140 to move along the second inclined wall 1141, and the push button 140 rises as a whole, thereby lifting the phone 200 a further distance.
[0049] On the other hand, the second inclined wall 1141 also facilitates the assembly of the button 140 with the frame.
[0050] In some embodiments, the push-up button 140 is diagonally positioned opposite the lens frame 160, which makes the push-up button 140 relatively far from the lens frame 160. Therefore, when the push-up button 140 pushes up the phone, it causes less interference to the lens frame 160, and the deformation of the lens frame 160 is relatively small.
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the phone case 100 further includes a shock absorber 150, which is disposed on the frame 112 and at least one of the four corners of the back panel 111. When the phone 200 is dropped, the four corners of the frame 112, being rounded or right angles, have a smaller contact area and receive a greater impact force, making them more prone to deformation. The shock absorber 150 provides shock protection; by placing the shock absorber 150 at at least one of the four corners, the probability of damage to the phone 200 can be reduced.
[0052] The shock absorber 150 can be made of a flexible material to absorb impact. For example, the shock absorber 150 can be made of TPE or P4U (a non-Newtonian fluid material). P4U is characterized by hardening upon impact; it is soft under normal conditions, but its molecular structure hardens rapidly upon instantaneous impact, absorbing and dispersing the impact force. This property can improve the drop resistance of the phone case 100 and reduce damage to the screen and internal components of the phone 200 during drops.
[0053] like Figure 9 As shown, the anti-collision member 150 includes a protrusion 151, an abutment 152, and a connecting portion 153 connecting the protrusion 151 and the abutment 152. The protrusion 151 protrudes from the outer wall of the frame 112 and is used to absorb external impacts. The abutment 152 is connected to the inner wall of the frame 112, reinforcing the inner wall of the frame 112. The connecting portion 153 passes through a through hole on the frame 112. The connecting member makes the anti-collision member 150 more integral and less likely to fall off the frame 112. The anti-collision member 150 can disperse the impact force to the entire shell.
[0054] Optionally, the housing 110 is composited with a support sheet 120 through a first in-mold coating and with an anti-collision component 150 through a second in-mold coating.
[0055] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the support piece 120 is disposed on the side of the back plate 111 away from the mobile phone 200, so that the housing 110 is in direct contact with the mobile phone 200, which can reduce wear on the mobile phone 200. In addition, the housing 110 is relatively soft and has a certain degree of elasticity, so it fits the mobile phone 200 well.
[0056] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a mounting groove 111a is provided on the surface of the back plate 111 facing away from the frame 112, and the support piece 120 is accommodated in the mounting groove 111a. Along the thickness direction of the back plate 111, the surface of the support piece 120 facing away from the frame 112 is flush with the surface of the back plate 111 facing away from the frame 112. This ensures that the support piece 120 is firmly attached to the back plate 111, and minimizes the need to increase the thickness of the housing.
[0057] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer periphery of the support piece 120 is provided with a stepped portion 123, and the back plate 111 covers the stepped portion 123, thereby making the bonding strength between the back plate 111 and the support piece 120 high, and the back plate 111 and the support piece 120 not easily separated when the disassembly component 130 is deformed.
[0058] like Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, the phone case 100 further includes a magnetic component 170, which can be used for magnetic positioning of the phone 200 with a magnetic charger or magnetic power bank, thereby aligning the wireless coil of the phone 200 with the wireless coil of the magnetic charger or magnetic power bank, which helps improve charging efficiency. Alternatively, the magnetic component 170 can be attached to a refrigerator or car mount, thereby improving ease of use.
[0059] The magnetic component 170 can be disposed between the support plate 120 and the back plate 111, so that the magnetic component 170 is not easy to fall off, and the support plate 120 can protect the magnetic component 170.
[0060] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application.
