[0028] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0029] The following detailed description of the overall structure, working principle, and technical effects of the bracket structure, protective shell, and electronic device provided by this utility model, through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, is a practical example.
[0030] Example 1 Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment provides a bracket structure 100 applied to an electronic device 500. The bracket structure 100 can be integrated into the protective shell 300 of the electronic device 500 or disposed on the back of the electronic device 500. When disposed on the back of the electronic device 500, it can be fixed to the back panel 510 of the electronic device 500, or it can be integrated into the back panel 510 of the electronic device 500, using the back panel 510 of the electronic device 500 as a mounting carrier 110.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bracket structure 100 includes a mounting carrier 110, a bracket 130, and a wristband 150. One side of the bracket 130 is hinged to the mounting carrier 110, allowing it to be opened or closed relative to the mounting carrier 110. The bracket 130 is provided with an exposure groove 131. Both ends of the wristband 150 are connected to the mounting carrier 110. When the bracket 130 is in the closed position, the wristband 150 corresponds to the exposure groove 131. When the bracket 130 is in the closed state, the wristband 150 is positioned relative to the exposure groove 131, allowing the wristband 150 to be pulled out from the exposure groove 131.
[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The bracket structure 100 provided in this embodiment hinges one side of the bracket 130 to the mounting carrier 110, allowing the bracket 130 to open or close relative to the mounting carrier 110. When open, the angle can be adjusted, facilitating tilt angle adjustment when the electronic device 500 is placed flat. Most importantly, this embodiment provides an exposed slot 131 in the bracket 130 and connects both ends of the wristband 150 to the mounting carrier 110. When the bracket 130 is closed, the wristband 150 aligns with the exposed slot 131. This allows the user to pull out the wristband 150 and pass their hand through it when using it with one hand, making it more convenient for one-handed use and preventing the risk of it falling.
[0033] Furthermore, the mounting carrier 110 has an inner side 111 and an outer side 112. The outer side 112 of the mounting carrier 110 is provided with a receiving groove 113. The bracket 130 is rotatably mounted in the receiving groove 113. When the bracket 130 is closed, the outer surface of the bracket 130 is substantially flush with the surface of the outer side 112 of the mounting carrier 110.
[0034] Furthermore, the support 130 is annular, and the periphery of the support 130 encloses and forms an exposed groove 131.
[0035] In this embodiment, the bracket 130 is designed as a ring, which facilitates rotational connection and improves the stability of the support. The ring structure is also a closed structure, resulting in stronger load-bearing capacity.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 In this embodiment, the bracket 130 has a rectangular ring structure, which provides a larger release area with the horizontal plane when supporting, and the stability of the support is relatively high.
[0037] Furthermore, the bracket 130 has a length direction and a width direction, and one side of the bracket 130 in the width direction is hinged to the mounting carrier 110.
[0038] Of course, in other embodiments of this application, the support 130 may also be in the form of a circular ring, an elliptical ring, a polygonal shape, or an irregularly shaped ring. Furthermore, the support structure 100 also includes a connecting hinge 170, through which the support 130 and the mounting carrier 110 are connected.
[0039] In this embodiment, the bracket 130 and the mounting carrier 110 are connected by a connecting hinge 170, which makes it easy to rotate the bracket 130 to adjust the support angle.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Furthermore, the connecting hinge 170 is a damped connecting hinge 170, which allows the bracket 130 to remain at any angle after being opened. For example, a conventional flat-shaft connecting hinge 170.
[0041] Furthermore, there are two hinges, with two connecting hinges 170 fixed at intervals on the inner side 111 of the long side of the bracket 130, so that the bracket 130 can rotate along the hinge axis of the connecting hinges 170.
[0042] Furthermore, the inner side 111 of the mounting carrier 110 is provided with a fitting groove 114, and the side wall of the receiving groove 113 is provided with an insertion hole 115 communicating with the fitting groove 114. One hinge portion of the connecting hinge 170 extends into the fitting groove 114 through the insertion hole 115, while the other hinge portion is located in the receiving groove 113. The hinge portion located in the receiving groove 113 is fixedly connected to the bracket 130. The outer side 112 of the mounting carrier 110 is provided with a fixing groove 116 corresponding to the fitting groove 114. A connecting plate 117 is provided in the fixing groove 116, and the hinge portion located in the fitting groove 114 is riveted to the connecting plate 117 by a rivet (not shown in the figure). The connecting plate 117 and the hinge portion are used to clamp the two sides of the mounting carrier 110, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the connecting hinge 170 and the mounting carrier 110. Furthermore, with this configuration, when the bracket 130 is in the folded state, the two hinges connecting the hinge 170 are unfolded instead of overlapping, thereby reducing the height.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Furthermore, both the bracket 130 and the mounting carrier 110 are provided with magnetic components 180. After the bracket 130 is closed, the magnetic components 180 can make the bracket 130 fit with the mounting carrier 110.
[0044] Specifically, the magnetic element 180 is disposed on the inner side 111 of the other long side of the bracket 130. The mounting carrier 110 is also disposed at the corresponding position on the magnetic element 180, thereby enabling the bracket 130 to be magnetically attracted when in the closed position. The magnetic element 180 is a permanent magnet.
[0045] In this embodiment, when the bracket 130 is closed, the projection of the wristband 150 located on the outer side 112 of the mounting carrier 110 onto the mounting carrier 110 is located within the projection of the exposed groove 131, thereby avoiding the two from overlapping in the thickness direction.
[0046] In this embodiment, the wristband 150 is elastic and fits snugly against the mounting carrier 110. When the wristband 150 is pulled outward, it can extend, causing a portion of the wristband 150 to be pulled out of the exposed groove 131 and fitted onto the wrist.
[0047] In this embodiment, the wristband 150 is designed to be elastic, making it easy to pull out and slip on the wrist.
[0048] Specifically, the wristband 150 can be made of a strip of elastic band, such as a plastic band. The wristband 150 extends along the length of the exposed groove 131.
[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Furthermore, the mounting carrier 110 has two fixing holes 118 spaced apart at the position corresponding to the exposed groove 131. The two ends of the wristband 150 extend into the other side of the mounting carrier 110 through the fixing holes 118 on the corresponding side, and are both connected to the mounting carrier 110.
[0050] In this embodiment, both ends of the wristband 150 are inserted into the inner side 111 of the mounting carrier 110 through the fixing holes 118, which facilitates fixing and is also more aesthetically pleasing.
[0051] Of course, in some other embodiments of this application, the two ends of the wristband 150 may also be fixed to the outer side 112 of the mounting carrier 110.
[0052] Specifically, the two fixing holes 118 are set at both ends of the exposed groove 131 along its length, thus ensuring that there is sufficient distance between the two fixing holes 118 so that the user can easily insert his wrist.
[0053] Furthermore, at least one through hole 151 is provided at both ends of the wristband 150 extending into the inner side 111 of the mounting carrier 110. At least one fixing protrusion 119 is provided on the inner side 111 of the mounting carrier 110 corresponding to each end of the wristband 150. The fixing protrusion 119 is inserted into the through holes 151 at both ends of the wristband 150 to fix both ends of the wristband 150 to the mounting carrier 110.
[0054] In this embodiment, by providing a through hole 151 and a fixing protrusion 119, the two ends of the wristband 150 can be easily fixed from the inside.
[0055] Furthermore, the portions of the wristband 150 extending into the inner side 111 of the mounting carrier 110 are bent toward each other and fit against the inner side 111. A fixing layer 190 is fitted against the inner side 111 of the mounting carrier 110, and both ends of the wristband 150 are clamped between the mounting carrier 110 and the fixing layer 190.
[0056] In this embodiment, the two ends are bent towards each other, which improves the fixing effect. The fixing layer 190 can hold the end of the wristband 150 between the mounting carrier 110 and the fixing layer 190, which can prevent the fixing protrusion 119 from moving out of the through hole 151.
[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 Furthermore, a snap-fit groove is provided on the inner side 111 of the mounting carrier 110 corresponding to the bending position of the wristband 150, and a fixing protrusion 119 protrudes from the bottom wall of the snap-fit groove. This can reduce the superposition in the thickness direction.
[0058] Furthermore, the portion of the wristband 150 located on the outer side 112 of the mounting carrier 110 is fitted with a decorative sleeve 200.
[0059] In this embodiment, by providing a decorative sleeve 200, the thickness of the exposed portion of the elastic band can be increased, thereby making the elastic band extend beyond the outer surface of the bracket 130 in the thickness direction, making it easier to pull out and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0060] Secondly, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 113 has a protruding abutment platform corresponding to the position of the wristband 150. The abutment platform can also abut the wristband 150 outward so that the elastic band extends beyond the outer surface of the bracket 130 in the thickness direction. This position corresponds to the position of the fixing protrusion 119, which can enhance the structural strength.
[0061] Example 2 Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment also provides a protective shell 300, which is used to cover the outside of an electronic device to protect it. The protective shell 300 includes the bracket structure 100 provided in Embodiment 1. The mounting carrier 110 is the housing 310 of the protective shell 300, which is configured to cover the outside of the electronic device to protect it. This arrangement allows the bracket structure 100 to be integrated into the housing 310 of the protective shell 300, thus facilitating use.
[0062] It is understood that this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that the mounting carrier 110 is replaced with the housing 310 of the protective shell 300, thereby achieving integration with the protective shell 300.
[0063] Example 3 Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment also provides an electronic device 500, which includes the bracket structure 100 described in Embodiment 1. The mounting carrier 110 is the back plate 510 of the electronic device 500.
[0064] It is understood that this embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, except that the mounting carrier 110 is replaced with the back plate 510 of the electronic device 500, thereby achieving integration with the electronic device 500.
[0065] In summary, the bracket structure 100 provided in Embodiment 1, the protective shell 300 provided in Embodiment 2, and the electronic device 500 provided in Embodiment 3 all hinge one side of the bracket 130 to the mounting carrier 110. This allows the bracket 130 to open or close relative to the mounting carrier 110, and its angle can be adjusted when open, facilitating tilt angle adjustment when the electronic device 500 is placed flat. Most importantly, this embodiment provides an exposed groove 131 in the bracket 130 and connects both ends of the wristband 150 to the mounting carrier 110. When the bracket 130 is closed, the wristband 150 aligns with the exposed groove 131. This allows the user to pull out the wristband 150 and pass their hand through it when using it with one hand, making it more convenient for one-handed use and preventing the risk of it falling.
[0066] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
