[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device accessories technology, specifically to a protective case with a bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Electronic devices are easily damaged by impacts, so they are often stored in protective cases. Sometimes, it's necessary to tilt the device to better view the display screen. Therefore, a rotating stand is provided on the back of the protective case. When the stand is extended, the device can be tilted; when retracted, the stand is stored in a slot on the back of the case.

[0003] Some electronic devices have a charging port on the bottom. These devices can be charged by placing them on a charging dock, specifically by placing the device from top to bottom into the slot on the charging dock. The slot has dimensional limitations on the thickness of the electronic device, thus limiting the thickness of the protective case used for it.

[0004] Due to potential manufacturing defects, the end of the bracket furthest from the rotating connection may protrude from the storage slot when the device is folded up. This can cause the protruding part of the bracket to abut against the upper surface of the charging base or scrape against the wall of the slot when the electronic device is placed on the charging base, thus hindering the placement of the electronic device and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the defects and shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a protective shell with a bracket. By having the second part extend at least partially along the direction of the bracket pointing towards the protective shell, the end of the second part away from the first part does not protrude from the storage slot, thus preventing the bracket from abutting against the upper surface of the charging base or scraping against the wall of the storage slot, thereby improving the user experience.

[0030] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0032] like Figure 1-10 As shown, this embodiment relates to a protective case 10 with a support 20. The front of the protective case 10 forms a storage cavity 11 for housing an electronic device; that is, the protective case 10 has a storage cavity 11 with an opening facing forward, allowing the electronic device to be assembled into the storage cavity 11 from front to back. The support 20 is connected to the back of the protective case 10, and the support 20 has an unfolded state and a retracted state. In the unfolded state, the support 20 is supported on a placement surface, allowing the electronic device to be tilted for easy viewing of the display screen on the front of the electronic device. A storage slot 12 is provided on the back of the protective case 10 for storing the support 20 in the retracted state. The support 20 includes a main body 21 and a connecting component 22, with the main body 21 rotatably connected to the protective case 10 via the connecting component 22. In the unfolded state, the main body 21 is supported on the placement surface, allowing the electronic device to be tilted.

[0033] The main body 21 includes a first part 211 and a second part 212 connected in sequence. The first part 211 is connected to the connecting component 22, and at least part of the first part 211 and the connecting component 22 are stacked, resulting in the protective shell 10 being thicker at the position corresponding to the first part 211, specifically larger in the front-to-back direction, which affects the placement of electronic devices in the placement slot of the charging dock. The second part 212 extends at least partially along the direction from the bracket 20 toward the protective shell 10. Specifically, the second part 212 extends at least partially in the direction from back to front, that is, at least part of the second part 212 extends toward the storage slot 12, so that the end of the second part 212 away from the first part 211 does not protrude from the storage slot 12. This allows the part of the bracket 20 away from the rotatable connection to be completely stored in the storage slot 12, preventing the part of the bracket 20 away from the rotatable connection from abutting the upper surface of the charging dock or scraping the wall of the placement slot, thereby smoothly placing the electronic device in the placement slot of the charging dock and improving the user experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first part 211 is closer to the top than the second part 212, that is, the connecting component 22 is closer to the top. The second part 212 is closer to the bottom than the first part 211, so that when the electronic device is placed into the placement slot from top to bottom, the second part 212 is inserted into the placement slot earlier than the first part 211. By the second part 212 extending at least partially along the direction from the bracket 20 to the protective shell 10, the electronic device can be smoothly placed into the placement slot.

[0035] Specifically, the outer surface of the second part 212 forms a guide slope, that is, the rear surface of the second part 212 forms a guide slope. When the size of the placement slot in the front-back direction is small, the guide slope can guide and open the side wall of the placement slot so that the electronic device can be embedded into the placement slot.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 6 as well as Figure 8-10 As shown, the extension direction of the first part 211 is vertical, and the extension direction of the first part 211 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown by the dashed line, the extension direction of the second part 212 forms an angle with the extension direction of the first part 211. The second part 212 extends from top to bottom and towards the protective shell 10. The extension direction of the second part 212 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown by the dashed line, the aforementioned included angles are as follows: Figure 6 The angle formed by the two dashed lines is shown in the figure.

[0037] In this embodiment, the electronic device is a game console, and the front side of the game console is provided with a display screen and an operating unit.

[0038] In other embodiments, the electronic device is a device with a charging port at the bottom that can be placed from top to bottom in the placement slot of the charging base, such as a mobile device like a mobile phone.

[0039] like Figure 3-6 as well as Figure 8-10 As shown, the connecting assembly 22 includes a first connector 221 and a second connector 222 that are rotatably connected. The first connector 221 is stacked and connected to the first part 211, and the second connector 222 is connected to the protective shell 10.

[0040] Specifically, the first connector 221 is fixedly connected to the first part 211 of the main body 21, and the second connector 222 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 10, specifically fixedly connected to the rear side of the protective shell 10. The first connector 221 has a first shaft hole, and the second connector 222 has a second shaft hole. The connecting assembly 22 also includes a rotating shaft 223, which is embedded in the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole, so that the first connector 221 and the second connector 222 are rotatably connected around the rotating shaft 223.

[0041] More specifically, the first connector 221 has a connecting hole, and the first part 211 has a connecting post protruding from the side facing the connecting assembly 22. The connecting post is embedded in the connecting hole, so that the first connector 221 and the first part 211 are stacked and fixedly connected.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second connector 222 is connected to the protective shell 10 via the second adhesive 2221.

[0043] In some embodiments, the protective shell 10 has an adhesive groove, which at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second connector 222 in the front-rear direction. The adhesive groove is used for dispensing adhesive to fix the second connector 222 and the protective shell 10 together.

[0044] like Figure 3-6 as well as Figure 8-10 As shown, in the stored state, the second connector 222 is stacked on the side of the first connector 221 that is away from the first part 211, so that the first part 211, the first connector 221 and the second connector 222 are stacked in sequence, resulting in the thickness of the protective shell 10 corresponding to the first part 211 being larger.

[0045] In this embodiment, the dimension of the first connector 221 in the vertical direction is smaller than that of the second connector 222 in the vertical direction. The second connector 222 needs a larger adhesive surface to be bonded and fixed to the protective shell 10 in order to prevent the bracket 20 from detaching from the protective shell 10.

[0046] like Figure 3-6 As shown, the bottom wall of the storage slot 12 has a first assembly slot 13, which is at least part of the assembly connection assembly 22.

[0047] Specifically, the storage slot 12 includes a first segment 121 and a second segment 122, wherein the projection of the first segment 121 onto the projection of the first part 211 in the front-back direction overlaps, and the projection of the second segment 122 onto the projection of the second part 212 in the front-back direction overlaps. A first assembly slot 13 is formed on the bottom wall of the first segment 121.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first part 211, the first connector 221 and the second connector 222 are stacked in sequence. The second connector 222 is assembled in the first assembly slot 13 to reduce the thickness of the protective shell 10 and facilitate the placement of electronic devices in the placement slot.

[0049] In other embodiments, the first part 211 and the first connector 221 are stacked, and the first connector 221 and the second connector 222 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the front-back direction, that is, the first connector 221 and the second connector 222 are arranged in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction. The second connector 222 is assembled in the first assembly groove 13, and the first connector 221 is embedded in the first assembly groove 13.

[0050] like Figure 5-6 as well as Figure 8-9 As shown, the first part 211 has a second assembly slot 2111 on the side facing the storage slot 12. The second assembly slot 2111 is used to assemble the first connector 221, thereby reducing the thickness of the protective shell 10 and making it easier to place the electronic device in the placement slot.

[0051] Specifically, the connecting post protrudes from the bottom wall of the second assembly slot 2111, and the dimensions of the connecting post in the front-to-back direction are the same as the dimensions of the connecting hole in the front-to-back direction, so as to avoid the connecting post protruding from the first connector 221 and interfering with the second connector 222, thereby avoiding affecting the bracket 20 being stored in the storage slot 12 in the storage state.

[0052] In order to ensure the mechanical strength of the main body 21, the main body 21 needs to have a uniform thickness, that is, the dimensions of the main body 21 are uniform in the front-to-back direction. Therefore, a raised part is formed at the position of the first part 211 corresponding to the second mounting groove 2111 to ensure that the thickness of the main body 21 is uniform.

[0053] Specifically, the first part 211 includes a raised portion, a transition portion, and an extension portion connected in sequence. The raised portion is fixedly connected to the first connector 221, and the extension portion is connected to the second part 212. The transition portion forms a guide slope, so that the outer surface of the first part 211 is progressively tapered inward from top to bottom, and the outer surface of the main body 21 is progressively tapered inward from top to bottom, thereby facilitating the placement of the electronic device in the placement slot.

[0054] Because the first part 211, the first connector 221, and the second connector 222 are stacked sequentially, there is a height difference between the first part 211 and the storage slot 12. Since the extension direction of the second part 212 is at an angle to the extension direction of the first part 211, a step difference is formed between the second part 212 and the bottom wall of the storage slot 12. When the electronic device is placed in the slot, the step difference causes the second part 212 to deform when the main body 21 touches the side wall of the slot, resulting in damage to the guide slope and the formation of sharp edges. Consequently, when the user places the electronic device in the slot, the edge-facing side may abut against the charging base, making it inconvenient for the user to place the electronic device in the slot.

[0055] like Figure 8 as well as Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the storage groove 12 forms a protrusion 1221 that fits the second section 122 of the second part 212. The protrusion 1221 fills the above-mentioned step difference to support the second part 212 and prevent the second part 212 from deforming during use. This ensures that the outer surface of the main body converges inward layer by layer from top to bottom, which facilitates the placement of electronic devices in the storage groove.

[0056] like Figure 3-6 as well as Figure 8-10As shown, the main body 21 also includes a third part 213, which is located at the end of the second part 212 away from the first part 211. The third part 213 does not protrude from the storage slot 12. By increasing the vertical dimension of the main body 21 through the third part 213, the third part 213 can be closer to the lower end of the protective shell 10, while the first part 211 is closer to the upper end. This allows the first part 211, which is stacked with the connecting component 22, to be exposed in the placement slot, thereby reducing the dimensional requirements of the protective shell 10 in the front-back direction, while ensuring that the bracket 20 can support the electronic device when placed at an angle.

[0057] Specifically, the storage slot 12 also includes a third segment 123, the third segment 123 and the third part 213 being projected in the front-back direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the third part 213 extends in the vertical direction. Since the end of the second part 212 that is away from the first part 211 does not protrude from the storage groove 12, the third part 213 also does not protrude from the storage groove 12.

[0059] In other embodiments, the angle between the extending direction of the third portion 213 and the extending direction of the first portion 211 is smaller than the angle between the extending direction of the second portion 212 and the extending direction of the first portion 211, and the third portion 213 extends in a direction closer to the receiving groove 12, so that the third portion 213 does not protrude from the receiving groove 12. This reduces the thickness requirement of the protective shell 10 forming the receiving groove 12, ensuring that the electronic device assembled in the protective shell 10 can be placed in the receiving groove.

[0060] In this embodiment, the bracket 20 includes two connecting components 22, two first parts 211, two second parts 212, and a third part 213. The third part 213 is U-shaped, with each end of the third part 213 connected to one of the two second parts 212. The end of each second part 212 furthest from the third part 213 is connected to one of the first parts 211, thus making the main body 21 U-shaped. Each first part 211 is connected to one connecting component 22, meaning each first part 211 is fixedly connected to a first connector 221. The U-shaped main body 21 increases the contact area between the main body 21 and the placement surface, ensuring stability when the electronic device is tilted.

[0061] Because the protective case 10 is manufactured using injection molding, burrs and other defects may occur when the thickness of the injection molded part is small, or when the injection molded part is in a region with uneven thickness, specifically in a region with smaller thickness. This will affect the appearance of the protective case 10. If burrs or other defects are formed on one side of the receiving cavity, the burrs may scratch the electronic device housed in the receiving cavity.

[0062] like Figure 2-3 as well as Figure 7-10As shown, since the storage slot 12 of the storage bracket 20 is provided on the rear side of the protective case 10, the part of the protective case 10 corresponding to the storage slot 12 may generate burrs and other defects. Therefore, at least part of the front of the protective case 10 corresponding to the storage slot 12 is covered with a decorative piece 30. The decorative piece 30 covers the burrs and other defects to ensure the beauty and aesthetics of the protective case 10, and at the same time prevents the electronic device from being scratched by burrs.

[0063] In this embodiment, the decorative piece 30 is attached to the protective shell 10 by the first adhesive 31, specifically to the side wall of the storage cavity 11.

[0064] like Figure 2-3 as well as Figure 7-10 As shown, the protective shell 10 has a decorative groove 14 for mounting a decorative piece 30. The decorative piece 30 is attached to the side wall of the decorative groove 14 by a first adhesive member 31. The decorative groove 14 reduces the size of the protective shell 10 in the front-back direction, that is, reduces the thickness of the protective shell 10, so as to ensure that the electronic device can be placed in the placement slot of the charging base.

[0065] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 3-4 As shown, a groove 15 is provided on the back of the protective shell 10. The groove 15 is connected to the storage groove 12 so that the user can insert the groove 15 and thus easily remove the main body 21.

[0066] In this embodiment, the groove 15 is connected to the third segment 123 of the storage groove 12 so that the user can apply force to the third part 213. Because the third part 213 is farther away from the connecting component 22 than the first part 211 and the second part 212, the lever arm when prying out the third part 213 is greater than the lever arm when prying out the first part 211 or the second part 212, so less force is required, making it easier for the user to pry out the third part 213.

[0067] Specifically, the groove 15 is located below the storage groove 12 and is connected to the third section 123, so that the user can apply force to the lower or front side of the third part 213, thereby making it easier for the user to pry out the main body 21.

[0068] In other embodiments, the groove 15 connects to the left or right side of the second segment 122 or the first segment 121 of the storage groove 12.

[0069] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
