A communication terminal configured to communicate via a wireless interface may be referred to as a "wireless communication terminal," "wireless terminal," or "mobile terminal." Examples of mobile terminals include, but are not limited to, satellite or cellular phones; personal communication system (PCS) terminals that may combine cellular radiotelephone with data processing, fax, and data communication capabilities; PDAs that may include radiotelephones, pagers, Internet / intranet access, web browsers, notebooks, calendars, and / or Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; and conventional laptop and / or handheld receivers or other electronic devices that include radiotelephone transceivers. A mobile phone is an electronic device equipped with a cellular communication module.

[0013] In some embodiments, the device housing can be a mobile phone housing. Therefore, the electronic device can be a mobile phone.

[0014] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the device housing and electronic device in some embodiments of this application. The device housing 100 can be installed on the outside of the electronic device 300 to protect the electronic device 300. In some embodiments, the device housing 100 can define an installation space 1001 to accommodate the electronic device 300.

[0015] In some scenarios, when the electronic device 300 is a mobile phone, the device casing 100 can be installed on the outside of the mobile phone, exposing the mobile phone screen for user use. That is, the mobile phone is housed within the installation space 1001.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 for Figure 1 The illustrated embodiment shows a schematic diagram of the device housing 100 in some embodiments. The device housing 100 may include a back panel 10 and a frame 20. The back panel 10 may be connected to one side of the frame 20 to define a mounting space 1001. In some scenarios, the cooperation of the back panel 10 and the frame 20 can form a mounting opening communicating with the mounting space 1001 on the other side of the frame 20. Furthermore, as... Figure 1The electronic device 300 shown can be inserted into the mounting space 1001 through the mounting port for installation, and at least its back and sides can be protected. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The back panel 10 can protect the back of the electronic device 300, and the frame 20 can protect the sides of the electronic device 300.

[0017] In some embodiments, the backplate 10 may also be pressed against the back of the electronic device 300 by the frame 20 to achieve assembly of the device housing 100. That is, the backplate 10 and the frame 20 are designed separately, and the backplate 10 is clamped and fixed only by the frame 20 cooperating with the electronic device 300. In some embodiments, the backplate 10 may be detachably connected to the frame 20. In some embodiments, the backplate 10 may be omitted, and the electronic device 300 may be protected by other structures in the device housing 100, such as the frame 20.

[0018] In some embodiments, the frame 20 may surround the periphery of the back panel 10 and be connected to the back panel 10. In some embodiments, the frame 20 may extend from the edge of the back panel 10 to one side.

[0019] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 for Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the device housing 100 in the illustrated embodiment is shown from another perspective. Figure 4 for Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment shows an exploded view of the device housing 100 in some embodiments. In the device housing 100, the back panel 10 and the frame 20 can constitute the main housing 200. Of course, the main housing 200 may also include other components; it may even include only the back panel 10 or the frame 20, or it may not include both the back panel 10 and the frame 20. Details are omitted here. In other words, the device housing 100 may include the main housing 200.

[0020] Please see Figure 4 The device housing 100 may include a main housing 200 and a ring holder 600 disposed on the main housing 200. The main housing 200 may be connected to the ring holder 600 by means of bonding, welding, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, rotatable connection or other connection methods well known to those skilled in the art.

[0021] The ring holder 600 can be in a folded state relative to the main housing 200 for storage, and in an unfolded state relative to the main housing 200. In some scenarios, the ring holder 600 can be in the folded state for easy carrying by the user. In some scenarios, the ring holder 600 can be in the unfolded state, allowing the user's fingers to pass through it and carry the device housing 100. In some scenarios, the ring holder 600 can be in the unfolded state, supporting the device housing 100 so that the device housing 100 and the electronic device 300 can be placed in different postures.

[0022] In some embodiments, the ring holder 600 may be disposed on the back plate 10.

[0023] In some embodiments, the ring holder 600 is rotatably connected to the main housing 200, allowing it to be folded for storage or unfolded for use. In some embodiments, the ring holder 600 is rotatably connected to the back plate 10.

[0024] It is understandable that in the device housing 100 with the ring holder 600, the housing of the electronic device 300 itself can also be referred to as the main housing. That is, the ring holder 600 can also be disposed on the electronic device 300, for example, the main housing, instead of on the device housing 100. Of course, the ring holder 600 can also be disposed on the electronic device 300 in a manner that allows it to be disposed on the device housing 100. For details, please refer to the cooperation method between the ring holder 600 and the main housing 200, which will not be elaborated here.

[0025] The ring holder 600 facilitates user use and portability. Additionally, it supports the device housing 100, allowing the electronic device 300 to be positioned in various orientations for user convenience. In some scenarios, when the device housing 100 is mounted on the outside of the electronic device 300, the ring holder 600 works in conjunction with the housing 100 to support the device 300, enabling it to be displayed according to user habits or viewing angles, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0026] Please see Figure 4 The main housing 200, for example, the back plate 10, may be provided with mounting holes 1002 so that the ring bracket 600 can be inserted into the mounting holes 1002 and installed on the main housing 200, for example, the back plate 10.

[0027] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 1002 may communicate with the mounting space 1001. In a further embodiment, when the ring holder 600 is installed in the mounting hole 1002, the ring holder 600 may not extend into the mounting space 1001, or may even be flush with the surface of the main housing 200, such as the back plate 10, within the mounting space 1001.

[0028] In some embodiments, a first snap-fit ​​portion 103 is provided on the wall of the mounting hole 1002 to enable snap-fit ​​connection with the ring holder 600. Of course, the first snap-fit ​​portion 103 may also be provided at other locations on the back plate 10, or even on the frame 20. In some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​portion 103 may include a protrusion provided on the wall of the mounting hole 1002. In some embodiments, the first snap-fit ​​portion 103 may have a groove located on the wall of the mounting hole 1002.

[0029] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the main housing 200 may be provided with a settling area 1003 to accommodate the ring bracket 600. When the ring bracket 600 is located within the settling area 1003, the overall size of the housing 100 can be reduced, making the housing 100 miniaturized. Simultaneously, the ring bracket 600 can be folded and stored, allowing it to be in a folded state. That is, when the ring bracket 600 is in the folded state, it can be placed within the settling area 1003; when unfolded, it can move from within the settling area 1003 to outside the settling area 1003.

[0030] In some embodiments, the settling zone 1003 may match the shape of the ring holder 600. For example, the settling zone 1003 may be annular, i.e., an annular settling zone.

[0031] In some embodiments, the settling area 1003 may communicate with the mounting hole 1002 to accommodate the ring holder 600, thereby reducing the overall size of the device housing 100 and miniaturizing the device housing 100. In some embodiments, when the settling area 1003 and the mounting hole 1002 accommodate the ring holder 600, the ring holder 600 may not protrude from the settling area 1003 and the mounting hole 1002, and may even be flush with the outer surface of the main housing 200, such as the back plate 10.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 The ring holder 600 may include a mounting base 60, a rotating assembly 70 rotatably connected to the mounting base 60, and a ring 80 connected to the rotating assembly 70. The mounting base 60 can be used to support structures within the ring holder 600, such as the rotating assembly 70 and the ring 80. The rotating assembly 70 can be mounted on the mounting base 60 to adjust the position and orientation of the ring 80. The ring 80 can support the device housing 100 and can also be held by the user, for example, by inserting a finger into the ring 80 for gripping and carrying. The ring 80 can be mounted on the mounting base 60 via the rotating assembly 70, and its position and orientation can be adjusted with the cooperation of the rotating assembly 70.

[0033] Mounting base 60 can be used to connect to device housing 100, such as main housing 200. In some embodiments, mounting base 60 can be connected to device housing 100, such as main housing 200, by means of bonding, welding, threaded connection, snap-fit ​​connection, rotatable connection or other connection methods well known to those skilled in the art.

[0034] In some embodiments, the mounting base 60 may be installed in the mounting hole 1002.

[0035] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 5 for Figure 4 The exploded view of the ring holder 600 in some embodiments shown in the illustration. Figure 6 for Figure 5 An exploded view of the ring holder 600 in the illustrated embodiment from another perspective. Figure 7 for Figure 6 The illustrated embodiment shows a cross-sectional view of the mounting base 60 engaging with the rotating assembly 70. The mounting base 60 may have a second latching portion 61 for latching with the first latching portion 103, achieving a detachable connection. In some embodiments, the second latching portion 61 may be a protrusion that rests within a groove on the first latching portion 103 to achieve a latching connection. In some embodiments, the second latching portion 61 may have a groove 6001 to accommodate, for example, a protrusion on the first latching portion 103, achieving a latching connection.

[0036] The fastening parts, such as the first fastening part 103 and the second fastening part 61, can limit the mounting base 60 within the assembly hole 1002. That is, the mounting base 60 is fastened and connected to the first fastening part 103 and the second fastening part 61 to be installed within the assembly hole 1002.

[0037] Understandably, the second latching part 61 is latched to the first latching part 103 to achieve a detachable connection between the mounting base 60 and the main housing 200, such as the back plate 10, so as to facilitate the processing and replacement of the ring bracket 600. Furthermore, the connection method between the mounting base 60 and the main housing 200, such as the back plate 10, can also be other detachable connection methods known to those skilled in the art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] Furthermore, the second latching part 61 and the first latching part 103 are not limited to the engagement method of a protrusion and a groove, but can also be other. That is, the latching parts, such as the first latching part 103 and the second latching part 61, can also be arranged in other ways.

[0039] Mounting base 60 may have mounting holes 6002 for mounting rotating assembly 70. In some embodiments, mounting holes 6002 may be used to define a first axis. In some embodiments, the axis of mounting holes 6002 may be the first axis. In some embodiments, the first axis may be substantially aligned with the thickness direction of back plate 10.

[0040] In some embodiments, a first positioning portion 62 may be provided on the wall of the mounting hole 6002 for positioning engagement with the rotating assembly 70. In some embodiments, the first positioning portion 62 may be provided with a positioning groove 6003 located on the wall of the mounting hole 6002. Of course, the first positioning portion 62 may also include a positioning protrusion located on the wall of the mounting hole 6002.

[0041] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rotating assembly 70 can be installed within the mounting hole 6002 and can rotate about a first axis. In some embodiments, the rotating assembly 70 can define the first axis. Of course, the rotating assembly 70 may also not be disposed within the mounting hole 6002, but may be rotatably connected to the mounting base 60 in other ways.

[0042] The rotating assembly 70 may include a rotating element 71 and a hinge 72 rotatably connected to the rotating element 71.

[0043] The rotating member 71 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 60 and is rotatable about a first axis. Furthermore, the rotating member 71 can define the first axis. In some embodiments, the rotating member 71 can be mounted within the mounting hole 6002 to define the first axis.

[0044] In some embodiments, the rotating member 71 may include a first base 73 and a second base 74 connected together. The first base 73 may be connected to the second base 74 to clamp and fix the rotating member 71. That is, the mounting base 60 may be clamped between the first base 73 and the second base 74.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first base 73 and the second base 74 may be connected via the mounting hole 6002. In some scenarios, the first base 73 may pass through the mounting hole 6002 and be connected to the second base 74. In some scenarios, the second base 74 may pass through the mounting hole 6002 and be connected to the first base 73.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first base 73 may be provided with a first hollow hole 7301 to make the rotating assembly 70 thinner and lighter.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first base 73 may be provided with a second perforated hole 7302 to make the rotating assembly 70 thinner and lighter.

[0048] The second base 74 can be connected to the first base 73 by riveting. Of course, other connection methods can also be used, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] A rotating shaft 741 may be provided on the second base 74 to define a second axis. The second axis may be perpendicular to the first axis. That is, in some embodiments, the second axis may be perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole 6002.

[0050] The second base 74 may have a mounting groove 7401 on the side opposite to the first base 73, so that the rotating shaft 741 can be disposed in the mounting groove 7401. In some embodiments, the mounting groove 7401 may be provided corresponding to the first hollow hole 7301 to communicate with the first hollow hole 7301, thereby reducing the thickness of the rotating member 71 along the second axis. That is, the mounting groove 7401 may be a through groove.

[0051] The second seat 74 can define a telescopic hole 7402, the opening of which is provided corresponding to the first positioning part 62. For example, the opening of the telescopic hole 7402 faces the wall of the mounting hole 6002.

[0052] Of course, the telescopic hole 7402 can also be defined by the cooperation of the first seat 73 and the second seat 74. Furthermore, the telescopic hole 7402 can be defined by the first seat 73. That is, the rotating member 71 can be provided with the telescopic hole 7402.

[0053] The second base 74 may be provided with a second positioning part 742, which can cooperate with the first positioning part 62 to position the relative position of the rotating component 70 and the mounting base 60, prevent the rotating component 70 from rotating around the first axis, and achieve positioning.

[0054] In some embodiments, the second positioning part 742 may be disposed within the telescopic hole 7402, and may extend out of the telescopic hole 7402 to cooperate with the first positioning part 62 for positioning, or may retract from the telescopic hole 7402 to the telescopic hole 7402 to release the cooperation between the first positioning part 62 and the second positioning part 742. That is, the telescopic hole 7402 may be correspondingly provided with the first positioning part 62.

[0055] Understandably, the cooperation between the second positioning part 742 and the first positioning part 62 is based on the telescopic hole 7402. Therefore, when the telescopic hole 7402 is not provided in the second seat 74, the second positioning part 742 may not be part of the second seat 74. Of course, when the telescopic hole 7402 is provided in the first seat 73, the second positioning part 742 may be part of the first seat 73.

[0056] In some embodiments, the telescopic hole 7402 may be provided corresponding to the second hollow hole 7302 to communicate with the second hollow hole 7302, so that the second positioning part 742 can be exposed at the second hollow hole 7302.

[0057] In some embodiments, the second positioning part 742 may include a slider 743 and a drive member 744 pultrusively connected to the slider 743. The slider 743 may be disposed within the telescopic hole 7402. The drive member 744 can drive the slider 743 to slide out of the telescopic hole 7402, allowing the slider 743 to extend out of the telescopic hole 7402 and cooperate with the first positioning part 62 to position the relative position of the rotating assembly 70 and the mounting base 60.

[0058] In some embodiments, the slider 743 may have an elastic preload on the wall of the telescopic hole 7402 to effectively prevent the slider 743 from shaking and causing misalignment, thereby effectively improving the positioning accuracy of the second positioning part 742 and the first positioning part 62.

[0059] In some embodiments, the slider 743 may include a first spring 7431 and a second spring 7432 disposed opposite to each other, with one end of the first spring 7431 connected to one end of the second spring 7432.

[0060] In some embodiments, the side of the first spring plate 7431 opposite to the second spring plate 7432 has an elastic preload force with the wall of the telescopic hole 7402, and the side of the second spring plate 7432 opposite to the first spring plate 7431 has an elastic preload force with the wall of the telescopic hole 7402, thereby ensuring that the sliding member 743 can extend and retract within the telescopic hole 7402 as much as possible without shaking.

[0061] In some embodiments, along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole 6002 (i.e., the direction in which the rotating member 71 rotates about the first axis), the first spring piece 7431 and the second spring piece 7432 are arranged opposite to each other. Thus, when the second positioning part 742 cooperates with the first positioning part 62, the side of the first spring piece 7431 facing away from the second spring piece 7432 can have an elastic preload force with the sidewall of the positioning groove 6003, and the side of the second spring piece 7432 facing away from the first spring piece 7431 can have an elastic preload force with the sidewall of the positioning groove 6003. This increases the contact area between the sliding member 743 and the first positioning part 62, thereby effectively preventing the misalignment caused by the shaking of the sliding member 743 and effectively improving the positioning accuracy of the second positioning part 742 and the first positioning part 62.

[0062] In some embodiments, the drive member 744 may be mounted on the rotating member 71 and may drive the sliding member 743 to extend out of the telescopic hole 7402. Of course, when the rotating member 71 rotates under the action of an external force, the drive member 744 may cooperate with the sliding member 743, so that the sliding member 743 is driven by the first positioning part 62 to slide into the telescopic hole 7402.

[0063] In some embodiments, the drive member 744 may be an elastic member that provides power based on elastic deformation. Alternatively, it may be any other power source capable of driving the slider 743 to rotate.

[0064] In some embodiments, the drive member 744, such as an elastic member, can undergo elastic deformation, thereby driving the slider 743 to slide based on the elastic deformation.

[0065] In some embodiments, the drive member 744, such as an elastic member, can drive the slider 743 to slide based on elastic deformation. In some embodiments, the elastic member may be a spring, torsion spring, coil spring, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, the drive member 744 may contact the connection between the first spring 7431 and the second spring 7432 to drive the slider 743 to slide.

[0067] In some embodiments, the drive member 744 may be disposed corresponding to the second cutout hole 7302, so that it can be exposed at the second cutout hole 7302. In a further embodiment, the second cutout hole 7302 may be disposed such that only part of the drive member 744 is exposed at the second cutout hole 7302, while the slider 743 is confined within the telescopic hole 7402. In some embodiments, the drive member 744 may extend into the second cutout hole 7302.

[0068] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 With the cooperation of the first positioning part 62 and the second positioning part 742, the rotating assembly 70 and the ring 80 can rotate 90° from their initial positioning position to move to the next positioning position, rotate 90° again to move to the next positioning position, rotate 90° again to move to the next positioning position, and rotate 90° again to move to the initial positioning position. That is, there can be multiple first positioning parts 62, such as four, and one second positioning part 742. Of course, there can be multiple second positioning parts 742, such as four, and one first positioning part 62.

[0069] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 for Figure 4 The illustrated embodiment shows a schematic diagram of the ring holder 600 transitioning from a folded state to an unfolded state. A hinge 72 may be disposed on the ring 80 and may be fitted onto the rotating shaft 741 for rotatable connection.

[0070] In some embodiments, the hinge 72 may include a connecting portion 721, a bending portion 722, and a rotating portion 723 connected in sequence. The connecting portion 721 may be connected to the ring 80, and the rotating portion 723 may be connected to a rotating element 71, such as a rotating shaft 741.

[0071] In some embodiments, the rotating part 723 may be used to define the limiting hole 7201, and the rotating shaft 741 passes through the limiting hole 7201. In some embodiments, the limiting hole 7201 may be used to define the second axis.

[0072] In some embodiments, the hinge 72 is integrally bent from a structural member (i.e., an integrally bent structure). Furthermore, when the ring holder 600 is in a folded state relative to the main housing 200, the end of the hinge 72 corresponding to the rotation axis 741 is located on the side of the hinge 72 facing into the second seat 74, and the bent portion 722 protrudes and bends relative to the connecting portion 721 and the rotating portion 723 toward the side closer to the second seat 74 to form a process groove 7202 between the connecting portion 721 and the rotating portion 723.

[0073] Without the process groove 7202, when forming the hinge 72 using the structural component, force needs to be applied to the end of the structural component, causing it to bend and form the rotating part 723. Such bending would result in a large gap between the end and other parts of the structural component. The process groove 7202, however, allows for machining of the structural component corresponding to the bent part 722 after the rotating part 723 is formed. Simultaneously forming the bent part 722 and the process groove 7202 reduces the gap between the end and other parts of the structural component, thereby increasing the contact area between the hinge 72 (e.g., the rotating part 723) and the rotating shaft 741, and thus extending the service life of the ring holder 600. Furthermore, the process groove 7202 reduces the machining difficulty of the end, making the limiting hole 7201 defined by the rotating part 723 more rounded, and the radius of the hole wall more closely matching the radius of the rotating shaft 741.

[0074] In some scenarios, when the ring holder 600 is in a folded state, the bending part 722 and the rotating part 723 are located in the assembly groove 7401. The bending part 722 protrudes and bends into the assembly groove 7401, thereby making the structure of the ring holder 600 more compact and miniaturized.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first perforation 7301 is provided such that the bent portion 722 and the rotating portion 723 are provided corresponding to the first perforation 7301, so that they can be exposed at the first perforation 7301. In some embodiments, the bent portion 722 and the rotating portion 723 may also extend into the first perforation 7301.

[0076] Please see Figure 4In its folded state, the ring 80 can be placed within the sinking area 1003, which stores the ring 80. In some embodiments, the ring 80 may have an elastic preload between itself and the sidewall of the sinking area 1003 to increase the difficulty of the ring 80 emerging from the sinking area 1003, thus ensuring that the ring 80 remains in its folded state as much as possible. In some embodiments, the ring 80 may define a finger hole 8101 for the user to insert their fingers for gripping and carrying. Furthermore, the sinking area 1003 may be an annular sinking area corresponding to the ring 80, thereby allowing the ring 80 to have an elastic preload between itself and the sidewall of the sinking area 1003 at the finger hole 8101.

[0077] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The ring 80 may include a ring body 81 and a flexible covering 82 covering the ring body 81. The flexible covering 82 can improve the comfort of the ring 80 in contact with the user.

[0078] The ring body 81 may be connected to the hinge 72 to be rotatable about a second axis. In some embodiments, the ring body 81 may be connected to the hinge 72, for example, the connection portion 721.

[0079] Of course, the ring body 81 can also be rotatably connected to the rotating component 70 in other ways, or the ring body 81 can be directly rotatably connected to the main housing 200, slidably connected, or other movable connection methods known to those skilled in the art, so as to adjust the position and attitude of the device housing 100 or the electronic device 300.

[0080] With the rotating assembly 70 in place, the ring body 81 can rotate about the first axis and / or the second axis.

[0081] The ring body 81 may be defined with a finger hole 8101 for the user to insert their fingers and hold it.

[0082] In some embodiments, along the axis of the finger hole 8101, settlement areas are respectively provided on both sides of the ring body 81, such as a first settlement area 8102 and a second settlement area 8103. In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, a first settlement area 8102 is provided on one side of the ring body 81, and a second settlement area 8103 is provided on the other side. In some embodiments, in the folded state, the device housing 100, such as the main housing 200, is located on the side of the ring body 81 where the first settlement area 8102 is provided.

[0083] In some embodiments, a first settling zone 8102 and a second settling zone 8103 are arranged around a finger hole 8101 and have mating walls facing the finger hole 8101. In some scenarios, the first settling zone 8102 may be an annular settling zone arranged around the finger hole 8101. In some scenarios, the second settling zone 8103 may be an annular settling zone arranged around the finger hole 8101.

[0084] In some scenarios, the finger hole 8101 can also be set on the bottom wall of the first settlement zone 8102, so as to surround the finger hole 8101.

[0085] In some scenarios, the finger hole 8101 can also be set on the bottom wall of the second settlement zone 8103, so as to surround the finger hole 8101.

[0086] Settlement zones, such as the first settlement zone 8102 and the second settlement zone 8103, can be configured as groove-like structures. For example, the first settlement zone 8102 and the second settlement zone 8103 can be mounting grooves. Along the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, the ring body 81 has a mounting groove on one side, and the finger hole 8101 is located on the bottom surface of the mounting groove. Please see Figure 6 and Figure 8 The ring body 81 is provided with a third settlement area 8105, which is located on the same side of the ring body 81 as the first settlement area 8102. The third settlement area 8105 can be provided around the first settlement area 8102 so that it can be provided close to the first settlement area 8102, thereby improving the structural compactness.

[0087] When the ring 80, for example, the ring body 81, has a relatively rigid structure, the user may experience discomfort and a rough feel when their finger is inserted into the finger hole 8101 of the ring holder 600. Therefore, the flexible cover 82 effectively prevents the user from directly contacting the ring body 81, improving user comfort. In some embodiments, the flexible cover 82 can be inserted into the finger hole 8101 to cover the edge of the finger hole 8101, and can also cover both sides of the ring body 81 along the axial direction of the finger hole 8101. That is, the cross-section of the flexible cover 82 can be "V", "U", or "C" shaped.

[0088] The flexible cover 82 may be made of a flexible material. In some embodiments, the flexible cover 82 may be silicone. In some embodiments, the hardness of the flexible cover 82 may be 30-60 degrees.

[0089] In some embodiments, in the folded state, the ring body 81 and the flexible cover 82 can be placed in the sinking area 1003. The flexible cover 82 and the sidewall of the sinking area 1003 have an elastic pre-tightening force, which can increase the difficulty for the ring 80 to come out of the sinking area 1003 and ensure that the ring 80 is in the folded state as much as possible.

[0090] The flexible covering body 82 may include a first covering part 821, a second covering part 823, and a covering connecting part 822, wherein the covering connecting part 822 may connect the first covering part 821 and the second covering part 823.

[0091] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, the first covering portion 821 and the second covering portion 823 are respectively disposed on both sides of the ring body 81 and surround the finger hole 8101. The covering connecting portion 822 can cover the hole wall of the finger hole 8101 and connect the first covering portion 821 and the second covering portion 823.

[0092] In some embodiments, on a projection plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, the projection of the first covering portion 821 lies within the projection of the ring body 81, and its projection area is smaller than the projection area of ​​the ring body 81. This arrangement allows the ring body 81 to be partially exposed on both sides of the finger hole 8101 axially, thus, when supported by the ring bracket 600, the flexible covering portion 82 can be avoided as much as possible, and the ring body 81 can be used for support, resulting in stable support.

[0093] In some embodiments, a first covering portion 821 is disposed in a first settling region 8102, a second covering portion 823 is disposed in a second settling region 8103, and a covering connecting portion 822 covers the wall of the finger hole 8101 and connects the first covering portion 821 and the second covering portion 823. That is, along the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, the first covering portion 821 covers one side of the ring body 81, the second covering portion 823 covers the other side of the ring body 81, and the covering connecting portion 822 covers the wall of the finger hole 8101.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first covering portion 821 may cover the bottom wall of a settling area, such as the first settling area 8102 (i.e., the first covering portion 821 may cover the bottom surface of the mounting groove). Furthermore, the setting of the settling area, such as the first settling area 8102, allows the first covering portion 821 to be flush with the surface of the ring body 81. In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, the thickness of the first covering portion 821 is less than or equal to the settling depth of the first settling area 8102, thereby minimizing contact between the first covering portion 821 and external objects when the ring body 81 comes into contact with them, and effectively preventing the first covering portion 821 from being worn by external objects.

[0095] In some embodiments, the first covering portion 821 is disposed in the first settling area 8102 and can cooperate with the mating wall surface of the first settling area 8102 to define the overflow groove 8104. The provision of the overflow groove 8104 allows the mold to directly extend into the first settling area 8102 through the overflow groove 8104 during the setting of the first covering portion 821, thereby performing the coating of the first covering portion 821. The mold can also prevent overflow during the coating process.

[0096] In some embodiments, on a projection plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, the projection of the second covering portion 823 lies within the projection of the ring body 81, and its projection area is smaller than the projection area of ​​the ring body 81. This arrangement allows the ring body 81 to be partially exposed on both sides of the finger hole 8101 axially, thus avoiding the flexible covering portion 82 as much as possible when supported by the ring bracket 600, and using the ring body 81 for support, resulting in stable support.

[0097] In some embodiments, the second covering portion 823 may cover the bottom wall of a settling area, such as the second settling area 8103 (i.e., the second covering portion 823 may cover the bottom surface of the mounting groove). Furthermore, the setting of the settling area, such as the second settling area 8103, allows the second covering portion 823 to be flush with the surface of the ring body 81. In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the finger hole 8101, the thickness of the second covering portion 823 is less than or equal to the settling depth of the second settling area 8103, thereby minimizing contact between the second covering portion 823 and external objects when the ring body 81 comes into contact with them, and effectively preventing the second covering portion 823 from being worn by external objects.

[0098] In some embodiments, the second covering portion 823 is disposed in the second settling area 8103 and can cooperate with the mating wall surface of the second settling area 8103 to define the overflow groove 8104. The provision of the overflow groove 8104 allows the mold to directly extend into the second settling area 8103 through the overflow groove 8104 during the setting of the second covering portion 823, thereby performing the coating of the second covering portion 823 with glue. The mold can isolate and prevent glue overflow during the coating process.

[0099] In some implementations, the opening of the glue overflow groove 8104 faces outward from the ring body 81. In some embodiments, the axis of the finger hole 8101 may be V-shaped in one cross section, so that the mold can be inserted directly through the glue overflow groove 8104.

[0100] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 8The ring holder 600 may further include a limiting component 90 capable of confining the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, in a folded state. In some embodiments, the limiting component 90 may include a first magnetic element 91 disposed on the ring 80, such as the ring body 81. The first magnetic element 91 is capable of adhering to the main housing 200 based on a magnetic field, thereby causing the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, to be in a folded state.

[0101] In some scenarios, when the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, is folded to be in a folded state, the first magnetic element 91 can be attracted to the main housing 200.

[0102] In some scenarios, when the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, is unfolded and in the unfolded state, the first magnetic element 91 is too far away from the main housing 200 to be easily attracted to the main housing 200.

[0103] In some scenarios, when the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, is in a folded state, the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, can be rotated to unfold the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, so that it is in an unfolded state, thereby breaking the adsorption state between the first magnetic element 91 and the main housing 200.

[0104] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 91 may be disposed within the first settling zone 8102. In a further embodiment, the first covering portion 821 may cover the first magnetic element 91.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 91 may be disposed within the third settling zone 8105.

[0106] Please see Figure 2 The limiting component 90 may include a second magnetic element 92 disposed on the main housing 200, such as the back plate 10. In the folded state, the first magnetic element 91 and the second magnetic element 92 are disposed opposite to each other, and can be attracted to each other by a magnetic field to keep the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, in the folded state.

[0107] In some embodiments, the second magnetic element 92 may be disposed within the mounting space 1001. In some embodiments, the second magnetic element 92 may cover the mounting hole 1002 to enhance the appearance. Of course, for the purpose of enhancing the appearance, the second magnetic element 92 may also be replaced by a decorative piece.

[0108] Please see Figure 4 The second magnetic element 92 can be disposed within the settling area 1003. Furthermore, in the folded state, the first magnetic element 91 and the second magnetic element 92 are disposed opposite to each other, and can thus attract each other through a magnetic field to maintain the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, in the folded state. Of course, the second magnetic element 92 can be concealed by the ring 80, such as the ring body 81, thereby enhancing the appearance.

[0109] Since the second magnetic element 92 is disposed on the main housing 200, it can be used as part of the main housing 200.

[0110] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
