[0002] With the development of technology, the performance and quality of mobile phones have been greatly improved, thereby increasing their value. The value of top-tier brand mobile phones can often reach several thousand yuan or even tens of thousands of yuan. Due to the widespread use and habitual use of mobile phones, they have become one of the most frequently used electronic products. Because of frequent use in different occasions or scenarios, mobile phones are easily dropped, dirtied, or damaged. Therefore, mobile phone cases or covers have become one of the essential accessories for mobile phones. Mobile phone cases can not only serve as decorations to make consumers' mobile phones more special and personalized, but more importantly, they can protect the mobile phone, playing a role in preventing drops, scratches, water, and shocks.

[0003] Existing protective cases typically have a patterned layer added to the surface to enhance their decorative effect. However, their structural design is inadequate. In darker environments, users may not easily see the patterned layer on the protective case, making it difficult for them to find the case in such environments. This results in a lack of aesthetic appeal, poor visual effects, and an inability to meet the needs of different users, leading to a poor user experience and limited applicability.

[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main purpose is to provide a protective case with a luminous effect. It utilizes several protrusions to form a pattern, and then uses light emitted from the luminous layer to illuminate the protrusions so that the protective case displays the pattern in a dark environment. With the addition of a reflective ink layer, the light effect of the luminous layer and the display effect of the decorative layer are enhanced, making it easier for users to find the protective case. The reflective ink layer on multiple protrusions also helps users view the visual effect of the protective case from different angles, resulting in a better user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A protective case with a luminous effect includes a case body. One side of the case body is provided with a placement slot for placing electronic devices. The other side of the case body is provided with a luminous layer, a decorative layer, and a protective layer arranged sequentially from the inside out. The decorative layer is a transparent decorative layer with several outwardly protruding protrusions. The protrusions surround and form patterns and / or text. The outer ends of the protrusions are provided with a color layer, and the outer periphery of the protrusions is provided with a reflective ink layer.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the luminescent layer is a phosphorescent powder layer.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the protective layer is a transparent protective layer or a colored translucent protective layer.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the outer surfaces of the decorative layer, the raised areas, and the color layer are coated with a transparent protective ink layer.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the protective ink layer is made of PET, PC, PMMA, or glass.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the decorative layer is made of PMMA material.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a transparent waterproof layer is provided on the outer side of the protective layer.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the transparent waterproof layer is an acrylic waterproof coating.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, a cavity is provided on the other side of the shell body, and the light-emitting layer, decorative layer and protective layer are sequentially disposed on the cavity.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, the cavity is provided with a positioning step that extends circumferentially around the inner wall of the cavity, and the inner edge of the decorative layer is constrained by the positioning step.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly uses the design of each component to form a pattern by using several protrusions to surround the pattern. Then, the light emitted by the light-emitting layer shines on the protrusions so that the protective shell can display the pattern in a dark environment. With the setting of the reflective ink layer, the light shines on the reflective ink layer and emits light, thereby increasing the light effect of the light-emitting layer and the display effect of the decorative layer, improving the aesthetics and visual effect of the protective shell, so that users can find the protective shell and electronic products in dark conditions. In addition, the reflective ink layer on multiple protrusions emits light to help users view the visual effect of the protective shell from different angles, meet the user's needs, have a good user experience, and have a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the protective ink layer prevents the color layer and reflective ink layer from directly contacting the air, thus preventing oxidation and corrosion and providing protection. This extends the service life of the decorative layer, color layer, and reflective ink layer. Simultaneously, the transparent waterproof layer blocks sweat and other liquids from seeping into the protective shell, further improving its lifespan and usability. The recessed cavity facilitates the assembly of the luminescent layer, decorative layer, and protective layer, and the positioning steps further aid in the assembly and positioning of the decorative layer.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it illustrates the specific structure of an embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] A protective case with luminous effect includes a case body 10. One side of the case body 10 is provided with a placement slot 11 for placing electronic devices. The other side of the case body 10 is provided with a luminous layer 12, a decorative layer 13, and a protective layer 14 arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside. The decorative layer 13 is a transparent decorative layer. The decorative layer 13 has a plurality of outwardly protruding protrusions 131. The plurality of protrusions 131 surround and form a pattern and / or text. The outer end of the protrusions 131 is provided with a color layer 15. The outer periphery of the protrusions 131 is provided with a reflective ink layer 18. Specifically, a cavity 17 is provided on the other side of the shell body 10. The light-emitting layer 12, decorative layer 13, and protective layer 14 are sequentially disposed on the cavity 17. A positioning step 171 extending circumferentially around the inner wall of the cavity 17 is provided inside the cavity 17. The inner edge of the decorative layer 13 is constrained by the positioning step 171. Meanwhile, the cavity 17, the light-emitting layer 12, the decorative layer 13, and the protective layer 14 are connected and fixed by an adhesive layer (not shown in the figure). Preferably, the light-emitting layer 12 is a phosphorescent powder layer, the protective layer 14 is a transparent protective layer or a colored translucent protective layer, the decorative layer 13 is made of PMMA material, and the adhesive layer is made of a specific material. The material is made of UV-cured resin. Through the design of each component, a pattern is formed by several raised structures. Light emitted from the luminescent layer shines on the raised structures, allowing the pattern to appear on the protective case in a darker environment. Combined with the reflective ink layer, light is emitted when it hits the reflective ink layer, thereby increasing the light effect of the luminescent layer and the display effect of the decorative layer. This enhances the aesthetics and visual appeal of the protective case, making it easier for users to find the protective case and electronic products in dark conditions. Furthermore, the reflective ink layer on multiple raised structures helps users view the protective case from different angles, meeting user needs, providing a superior user experience, and having a wide range of applications.

[0022] Furthermore, a transparent protective ink layer 18 is coated on the outer side of the decorative layer 13, the protrusion 131 and the color layer 15. The protective ink layer 18 is made of PET, PC, PMMA or glass. In this way, the protective ink layer is set so that the color layer and the reflective ink layer do not come into direct contact with the air, preventing oxidation and corrosion, and thus playing a protective role, thereby improving the service life of the decorative layer, the color layer and the reflective ink layer.

[0023] Furthermore, a transparent waterproof layer 19 is provided on the outer side of the protective layer 14. The transparent waterproof layer 19 is an acrylic waterproof coating. In this way, the transparent waterproof layer can block liquids such as hand sweat from entering the protective shell, thereby improving the service life of the protective shell and making it more usable.

[0024] The key design feature of this invention lies in its use of raised sections to form a pattern. Light emitted from the luminescent layer illuminates these raised sections, allowing the pattern to appear on the protective case in low-light conditions. Combined with a reflective ink layer, light is emitted upon contact with the reflective ink layer, enhancing the luminous effect of the luminescent layer and the display effect of the decorative layer. This improves the aesthetics and visual appeal of the protective case, making it easier for users to locate the case and electronic products in low light. Furthermore, the reflective ink layer on multiple raised sections helps users view the case from different angles, meeting their needs, providing a superior user experience, and having a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the protective ink layer prevents the color layer and reflective ink layer from directly contacting the air, thus preventing oxidation and corrosion and providing protection. This extends the service life of the decorative layer, color layer, and reflective ink layer. Simultaneously, the transparent waterproof layer blocks sweat and other liquids from seeping into the protective shell, further improving its lifespan and usability. The recessed cavity facilitates the assembly of the luminescent layer, decorative layer, and protective layer, and the positioning steps further aid in the assembly and positioning of the decorative layer.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
