Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobile phone protective case technology, specifically to a mobile phone protective case with a deformable stand for e-ink screen auxiliary display. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of smartphones, phone cases have become an essential accessory for protecting devices from bumps and scratches. To meet diverse user needs, the functions and forms of phone cases are constantly evolving. Currently, there are two main types of products: phone cases with e-ink displays and full-coverage phone cases.

[0003] Specifically, existing phone cases with e-ink displays often fail to provide full coverage protection for the front of the phone, resulting in insufficient protection. Traditional full-coverage phone cases, on the other hand, are limited in function and lack auxiliary information display and interactive capabilities such as e-ink displays, failing to meet users' dual needs for personalization and convenient features.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an innovative solution that can integrate a low-power auxiliary display module while providing comprehensive and robust protection, in order to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a mobile phone protective case with a deformable stand for e-ink screen auxiliary display.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A mobile phone protective case with a deformable stand for e-ink screen auxiliary display includes a housing, a deformable stand module connected to the back of the housing, the deformable stand module including a rotating plate and a stand, the back of the housing is provided with a mounting groove adapted to the rotating plate, the rotating plate is rotatably connected in the mounting groove, one end of the stand is hinged to the rotating plate; the mounting groove is connected to a storage groove for storing the stand. The bracket includes a bracket cover plate, an e-ink screen, and a bracket back cover. The e-ink screen is disposed between the bracket cover plate and the bracket back cover. The bracket back cover has a transparent area for displaying the image on the e-ink screen. The e-ink screen is equipped with an NFC module, and the e-ink screen communicates with the mobile phone through the NFC module to receive and display custom content on the e-ink screen; The bracket cover plate has a mirror layer on its inner surface facing the rear cover.

[0007] Furthermore, the mirror layer is an independent cosmetic mirror, which is attached to or embedded in the inner surface of the bracket cover plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the mirror layer is formed through mirror processing (including but not limited to polishing, plating, etc.).

[0009] Furthermore, the housing is a fully enclosed structure that completely covers the phone, or the housing is a semi-enclosed structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the housing is a fully enclosed structure that completely covers the phone. The housing includes a transparent front cover, a middle frame, and a back cover. The transparent front cover, middle frame, and back cover are stacked in sequence and assembled together by snaps or magnets.

[0011] Furthermore, the housing is a fully enclosed structure that completely covers the phone. The housing includes a transparent front cover and a back cover, which are connected by a pivot to form a flip-type opening and closing structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the area of ​​the transparent front cover corresponding to the mobile phone display screen is made of tempered glass or TPU material.

[0013] Furthermore, the transparent front cover and the rear cover are detachably and securely connected by snaps or magnets.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. The case adopts a full-coverage structure, providing comprehensive protection for the phone's screen, sides, and back, greatly reducing the risk of damage to the phone due to accidental drops or scratches, and its protection level far exceeds that of traditional single-sided protective cases.

[0015] 2. The e-ink screen integrated into the stand features ultra-low power consumption. When the stand is folded down, it can receive and display custom content such as calendars, photos, and notifications via NFC. This not only improves the convenience and efficiency of information access and allows for personalized decoration of the back of the phone case, but also avoids the power consumption caused by frequently turning on the phone's main screen.

[0016] 3. The inner surface of the deformable stand integrates a mirror layer (whether through surface treatment or embedding a separate makeup mirror), allowing the stand to transform into a practical makeup mirror at a specific angle. This design greatly enhances the product's added value and practicality, especially meeting the daily needs of a specific user group and creating new usage scenarios. Attached Figure Description

Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating the transmission process of QR code images for the NFC module. Detailed Implementation

[0018] Example 1, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model discloses a mobile phone protective case with a deformable stand for auxiliary e-ink display, including a shell, which is a fully enclosed structure that completely covers the mobile phone 4.

[0019] The housing includes a transparent front cover 1, a middle frame 3, and a rear cover 2.

[0020] The transparent front cover 1 is adapted to the front of the phone 4. The area of ​​the transparent front cover 1 corresponding to the display screen of the phone 4 is made of tempered glass or TPU material with high light transmittance to ensure that it does not affect the touch operation and content display of the phone 4.

[0021] The mid-frame 3 is a frame structure with a certain strength, and its inner edge is used to fit the frame of the phone 4. Its front four edges are assembled with the four edges of the transparent front cover 1 by snaps or magnets.

[0022] The shape of the back cover 2 is adapted to the back of the phone 4, and the four edges of the back cover 2 are assembled with the four edges of the middle frame 3 by snaps or magnets.

[0023] Thus, the transparent front cover 1, the middle frame 3, and the back cover 2 are stacked in sequence and connected together by snaps / magnets to form a fully enclosed protective structure.

[0024] A deformable support module is connected to the back of the back cover 2. The deformable support module includes a rotating plate 5 and a support 6. The back of the back cover 2 is provided with a mounting groove that is adapted to the rotating plate 5. The rotating plate 5 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove 21. One end of the support 6 is hinged to the rotating plate 5. Preferably, a damping shaft structure is used for the hinge, which can realize the support 6 at different angles. The bracket 6 includes a bracket cover 61, an e-ink display (EPD) 62, and a bracket back cover 63. The bracket back cover 63 has a transparent area positioned directly opposite the e-ink display 62 below. The bracket back cover 63 is fixed to the bracket cover 61 by screws or clips, encapsulating the e-ink display 62 within it, and its image can be clearly displayed through the transparent area.

[0025] The e-ink screen 62 has a built-in NFC module. The e-ink screen 62 communicates with the mobile phone 4 via the NFC module to receive and display customized content on the e-ink screen 62. Specifically, when the stand 6 is retracted, it is flush against the back cover 2. At this time, the user can use the NFC function of the mobile phone 4 to transfer customized images (such as photos, calendars, artistic patterns, etc.) to the NFC module inside the stand 6, which will then be displayed on the e-ink screen 62, achieving a personalized back screen. The working principle of the e-ink screen 62 communicating with the mobile phone 4 via the NFC module to display the image is as follows... Figure 9 As shown, this part is existing technology and will not be elaborated further.

[0026] On the software side, based on user needs, a designated area is cropped from the corner of the displayed image to specifically place user-defined QR codes (such as payment codes, business cards, etc.). When a user uploads an image, it is intelligently cropped and stitched together for display on the e-ink screen, as shown in the following process. Figure 10 As shown.

[0027] A mirror layer 611 is provided on the inner surface of the bracket cover 61 facing the rear cover 2. The mirror layer 611 can be an independent cosmetic mirror, which is attached to the inner surface by adhesive or embedded structure. The mirror layer 611 can also be formed by mirror treatment methods such as polishing and plating.

[0028] When the stand 6 is opened, it can be used as a horizontal or vertical screen support by rotating the plate 5. Additionally, the mounting slot 21 is connected to a storage slot 22 for storing the stand 6. When the stand 6 is folded up, it can be stored in the storage slot 22, maintaining the flatness of the back of the casing. Furthermore, users can use the mirror layer 611 on the inner surface of the stand 6 to groom themselves.

[0029] In addition, the deformable stand module with e-ink screen in this utility model can be used as a standalone display stand module, in addition to being combined with a mobile phone case (not limited to full-coverage or semi-coverage). It can be directly attached to the back of the device by means of adhesive, magnetism, etc., and can be used immediately after installation.

[0030] Example 2, as Figure 7-8 As shown, the only difference from Embodiment 1 is that the housing includes a transparent front cover 1 and a rear cover 2, which are connected by a pivot 7 to form a flip-top opening and closing structure.

[0031] The transparent front cover 1 is large and shaped enough to cover the front and sides of the phone 4. The area of ​​the transparent front cover 1 corresponding to the display screen of the phone 4 is also made of highly transparent tempered glass or TPU material. The top of the transparent front cover 1 is rotatably connected to the top of the back cover 2 via a hinge 7. The shape of the back cover 2 is adapted to the back of the phone 4.

[0032] During assembly, place the phone 4 inside the opened back cover 2, and then, like closing a book, flip the transparent front cover 1 and snap it onto the front of the phone 4 for full-coverage protection. In addition to the hinge connection, magnets or snap-fit ​​structures are also provided at other corresponding edges of the transparent front cover 1 and the back cover 2 to achieve detachable and fixed connections, ensuring a tight structure when the cover is closed and preventing accidental pop-out.

[0033] The back cover 2 in Embodiment 2 is also designed with a deformable support module. Its structure is the same as that in Embodiment 1, and its function and working principle are exactly the same, so it will not be described in detail.

[0034] Furthermore, it should be noted that the shell in this utility model can also be a common semi-enclosed structure (protecting only the back / side of the phone). The deformable bracket module involved in Embodiments 1 and 2 is also applicable to the semi-enclosed shell structure.

[0035] In summary, this invention achieves full-coverage protection for mobile phones through two different structures, and integrates multiple practical functions such as auxiliary display, convenient support, and a makeup mirror. Various modifications and substitutions to this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of these disclosed embodiments. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of the invention are indicated by the appended claims.
