Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a protective case for mobile devices with a supporting structure and an external memory card function, and more particularly to a protective case for mobile devices with an external memory card for storing mobile device data and also serving as a supporting structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, due to technological advancements and economic development, the penetration rate of mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and personal digital assistants) has reached a point where almost everyone owns one or even several. As mobile devices become increasingly sophisticated and information explodes, they not only take photos and videos but also receive a vast amount of diverse data daily. Since photos, videos, and downloaded applications typically generate large files, mobile devices require larger storage capacities. Therefore, many users currently utilize external storage devices to expand the internal storage space of their mobile devices, such as microSD cards or USB flash drives. While these increase the device's ability to store large amounts of data, they require a data cable connection, hindering storage and portability, making the use of external storage devices quite inconvenient.

[0003] Furthermore, due to the widespread use of mobile devices, the number of users watching videos, engaging in online gaming, or using mobile devices is also increasing. However, when watching videos or playing online games on mobile devices, the time spent is often quite long. Holding the mobile device in one's hand for extended periods is not only tiring but also prevents the hands from being free to grab food or other items. Placing it flat on a table not only results in a poor viewing angle and fatigue but also makes operation quite inconvenient. Therefore, appropriate auxiliary objects are needed to position the mobile device at a better angle for easier viewing and operation. Although there are many types of mobile device holders available on the market to fix the device to a table and eliminate the hassle of holding it, most of these holders are additional accessories, causing inconvenience in carrying and storing them.

[0004] In view of this, the applicant, through continuous research and experimentation, came up with the idea of ​​designing a mobile device protective case with a supporting structure and an external memory card function, so that the protective case can have an external memory card for storing mobile device data, and also has the function of a supporting structure.

[0037] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 and cooperate Figure 3This is a perspective view and a memory card accommodating state diagram of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the present invention includes a protective case body 1 and a support structure 2 connected to the protective case body 1. The protective case body 1 is designed to fit the shape of different mobile devices, forming a protective sleeve that can be fitted over the outside of the mobile device. It has at least a surrounding upper edge 11, a side edge 12, and a relatively wide lower edge 13, as well as a back plate 14. The upper edge 11, side edge 12, lower edge 13, and back plate 14 can cover the side edge and back cover of a mobile device, thereby protecting the mobile device from damage due to collision or friction. The back plate 14 has an opening 141 at the position corresponding to the camera lens of the mobile device to accommodate the camera lens. At the bottom, the protective case body 1 has a notch 15 extending upwards from the bottom end of the lower edge 13 to a suitable height, and above the notch 15, on the inner edge of the protective case body 1, there are two protrusions 16 of appropriate height.

[0038] The support structure 2 is located at the notch 15 and can slide up and down and bend outward along the notch 15. The support structure 2 includes a piece 21 and a frame 22. The piece 21 has two vertical elongated holes 211, which fit into the protrusions 16 on the inner edge of the protective sleeve body 1. The frame 22 is connected to the piece 21 by a damping shaft 23 (a damping shaft 23 is a mechanical structure used to connect components and can form a smooth rotation and stop. It mainly generates damping through the friction between the pads, making the rotation process smoother and the stop more stable). The frame 22 includes a sheet-like vertical section 221 and a horizontal section 222 with the same width as the lower edge 13 of the protective sleeve body 1. The vertical section 221 has a receiving slot 24 for accommodating the memory card 3, and the horizontal section 222 has a transmission port 25 that connects to the receiving slot 24 and is correspondingly engaged with the mobile device socket. In this way, the plate 21 can slide up and down along the protrusion 16, which in turn drives the frame 22 to move up and down. The frame 22 can be rotated through the damping shaft 23, and the damping shaft 23 can also be used to limit the angle and position of the frame 22 after rotation.

[0039] The combination of the aforementioned components constitutes a protective case for a mobile device that includes a support structure and an external memory card function. When the protective case body 1 is placed on the mobile device, the transmission port 25 can be inserted into the mobile device's socket to transfer data from the mobile device and store it in the memory card 3, thus enabling the function of an external memory card 3. Furthermore, the support structure 2 can be pulled down along the notch 15 and tilted outwards at an angle, supporting the device on a table via its horizontal section 222. This allows the mobile device to be placed at an appropriate tilt angle on the table, eliminating the inconvenience of holding it and facilitating operation or viewing of the mobile device's images.

[0040] Please also refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5Figure 1 shows a view of the mobile device of this invention being fitted onto the protective case body, and a perspective view of the protective case body covering the mobile device. As shown, in use, the supporting structure 2 is first pulled down (the horizontal section 222 is pulled down until the top edge of the transmission port 25 is lower than the lower edge 13 of the protective case body 1), the mobile device 4 is fitted onto the protective case body 1, and then the supporting structure 2 is pushed up, so that the upper edge 11, side edge 12, lower edge 13, and back plate 14 of the protective case body 1 cover the side edges and back cover of the mobile device 4, thereby protecting the mobile device 4 from damage due to collision or friction. After the protective case body 1 covers the mobile device 4, the back plate 14 has an opening 141 corresponding to the position of the camera lens of the mobile device 4, which can accommodate the camera lens of the mobile device 4.

[0041] After the protective case body 1 covers the mobile device 4, the support structure 2 can be pushed upwards, aligning the horizontal section 222 of the lower edge 13 of the support structure 2 with the lower edge 13 of the protective case body 1. The transmission port 25 of the horizontal section 222 of the support structure 2 is designed to correspond to the insertion hole 41 on the bottom edge of the mobile device 4, allowing the transmission port 25 to be inserted precisely into the insertion hole 41 on the bottom edge of the mobile device 4. In practical use, data from the mobile device 4 can be transferred and stored in the memory card 3 via the transmission port 25 and the insertion hole 41, thus functioning as an external memory card 3 and eliminating the inconvenience of requiring a transmission cable connection as in existing technologies.

[0042] Please also refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 This is a diagram showing the usage state of the support structure of this utility model. As shown in the figure, when this utility model is used in support structure 2, the support structure 2 is pulled down and rotated outward by an angle through the damping pivot 23. After being rotated outward by an angle, the frame 22 can be positioned and restricted by the damping pivot 23, so that its horizontal section 222 is supported on the table. The support structure 2 supports the mobile device 4 vertically, thereby allowing the mobile device 4 to be placed vertically on the table at an appropriate tilt angle (e.g., ...). Figure 6 ), or like Figure 7 Place the mobile device 4 horizontally on the table at an appropriate angle to facilitate operation of the mobile device 4 or viewing of the images played on the screen of the mobile device 4, eliminating the inconvenience of holding it.

[0043] The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Any minor modifications or alterations will not deviate from the essence of the present invention or its spirit.

[0044] In summary, this utility model uses a protective case body with a supporting structure, along with a memory card and a transmission port located on the supporting structure, to form a mobile device protective case that has both a supporting structure and the function of an external memory card. It allows data from the mobile device to be transferred and stored on the memory card, thus functioning as an external memory card, and allows the mobile device to be placed at a suitable tilt angle on a table for easier operation of the phone or viewing of images.
