Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of accessories for electronic devices, and particularly to an electronic device accessory. Background Technology

[0002] An existing electronic device accessory, such as a stand protective case, provides support by incorporating a stand on the protective case. The stand includes a support component and a rotating component. The rotating component is rotatably mounted on the protective case, and the support component is rotatably connected to the rotating component via a pivot structure. Typically, the support component is rotatably connected to one side surface of the rotating component, allowing the stand to provide support at multiple angles and directions. Furthermore, to facilitate storage when not in use, a storage slot is provided on the protective case. The rotating component is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the storage slot, and the support component can rotate relative to the rotating component between a support position and a stored position. In the stored position, the support component is stored within the storage slot and stacked on top of the rotating component. Obviously, this increases the thickness of the stand, resulting in an increased thickness and weight of the protective case, which contradicts the current mainstream trend of thinner and lighter stand protective cases.

[0030] Before describing the embodiments in detail, it should be understood that this application is not limited to the detailed structures or element arrangements described below or in the accompanying drawings. This application can be implemented in other ways. Furthermore, it should be understood that the wording and terminology used herein are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as limiting. The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and similar expressions used herein mean to include the items listed thereafter, their equivalents, and other additional items. In particular, when describing "an element," this application does not limit the number of elements to one, but may include multiple elements.

[0031] Please also refer to Figure 1-9 As shown, this application provides an electronic device accessory 10, which includes a housing 12 and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a support member 14 and a rotating member 16. The rotating member 16 is rotatably connected to the housing 12. Both the support member 14 and the rotating member 16 are annular. The support member 14 has a break 38 and two connecting ends 40 located at the break 38. The rotating member 16 is located at the break 38, and connecting portions are respectively provided on the circumferential outer wall of the rotating member 16 corresponding to the two connecting ends 40. The two connecting ends 40 are rotatably connected to the two connecting portions. This application provides a support assembly with a novel layout. The support member 14 and the rotating member 16 intersect, which, on the one hand, allows the support member 14 and the rotating member 16 to correspond to different areas on the same plane of the housing 12 when in the stored state, avoiding stacking in the thickness direction and reducing the space occupied in the thickness direction of the housing 12, thus allowing the housing 12 to be thinner. On the other hand, it increases the connection stability of the support member 14 and the rotating member 16 and the aesthetics of the design, providing users with a better product experience.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the support member 14 is housed in the housing 12, a part of the rotating member 16 is located within the area enclosed by the support member 14, and another part of the rotating member 16 is located outside the area enclosed by the support member 14, thereby giving the support assembly a new structural form.

[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, both the support member 14 and the rotating member 16 are annular. Preferably, the diameter of the support member 14 is larger than the diameter of the rotating member 16, thus presenting a structure in which a large ring rotatably connects to a small ring. The support member 14 and the rotating member 16 are arranged along the length direction of the housing 12, and the center of the support member 14 and the center of the rotating member 16 are located on the same straight line, which extends along the length direction of the housing 12.

[0034] Optionally, the end face of the connecting end 40 is an arc surface, the curvature of which is the same as the curvature of the outer ring of the rotating member 16, to enhance the aesthetic design. In this embodiment, the arc surface and the outer ring of the rotating member 16 are spaced apart. In some embodiments not shown, the arc surface may also be tightly fitted to the outer ring of the rotating member 16, i.e., since both have the same curvature, there is no gap between them after fitting together.

[0035] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a shaft connector 18, and the two connecting ends 40 are rotatably connected to the two connecting parts through the shaft connector 18.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the housing 12 is provided with a mounting portion 20, which is, for example, a groove structure provided on the housing 12. The rotating member 16 is rotatably mounted in the mounting portion 20. The shaft connector 18 includes a shaft body 22, a first shaft portion 24, and a second shaft portion 26. The first shaft portion 24 is bent and connected to one end of the shaft body 22, and the second shaft portion 26 is bent and connected to the other end of the shaft body 22. The first shaft portion 24 and the second shaft portion 26 are located on opposite sides of the shaft body 22. The first shaft portion 24 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion, and the second shaft portion 26 is fixedly connected to the connecting end 40. This application proposes a new rotating structure. The structural design of the shaft connector 18 allows the support member 14 to be raised relative to the rotating member 16 or the mounting portion 20 when it is rotated open, avoiding interference between the support member 14 and the housing 12 during rotation. At the same time, it can greatly improve the limitation of the rotation angle of the shaft connector 18 by the side wall of the mounting portion 20, thereby increasing the rotation angle of the support member 14, meeting the user's need for large-angle support, and providing the user with a good product experience.

[0037] In the prior art, the connection between the bracket and the rotating shaft structure also needs to be placed in the storage groove, resulting in a large size of the storage groove. This application, through the design of the shaft connector 18, allows the support member 14 to be entirely located outside the mounting portion 20. The mounting portion 20 does not need to provide accommodating space for the support member 14, but only needs to provide accommodating space for the shaft body 22 of the shaft connector 18. This reduces the area of ​​the slot on the housing 12, avoids weakening the structural strength of the housing 12 due to large-area slotting, and reduces the risk of the housing 12 breaking.

[0038] In this application, the housing 12 can be a protective case, a power bank, a charger, or a card holder, or it can be the outer casing of an electronic device. In this embodiment, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 12 is a protective shell. Specifically, the housing 12 includes a back plate 28 and a side frame 30 connected to the periphery of the back plate 28. The back plate 28 and the side frame 30 enclose a housing space 32 for housing an electronic device, such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer. The support component is disposed on the back plate 28 on the side opposite to the housing space 32.

[0039] In the illustrated embodiments, please also refer to Figure 3 As shown, both the support member 14 and the rotating member 16 are designed as annular structures, and the mounting part 20 is correspondingly designed as a circle. For example, the mounting part 20 is located at the center of the back plate 28 on the side away from the accommodating space 32. The center of the back plate 28 on the side away from the accommodating space 32 is also provided with a storage part 34, which is a groove structure. The storage part 34 and the mounting part 20 are arranged along the length direction of the housing 12 and intersect, and the storage part 34 and the mounting part 20 are connected at the intersection. The connecting end 40 and the corresponding connecting part are both located at the communication port where the mounting part 20 and the storage part 34 communicate. The support member 14 can rotate relative to the housing 12 between a storage position and a support position. In the storage position, the support member 14 is stored in the storage part 34; in the support position, the support member 14 rotates away from the storage part 34 and forms a preset support angle with the back plate 28 to support the housing 12 upright.

[0040] The rotating component 16 is rotatably disposed within the mounting portion 20, allowing the support component 14 to rotate 360 ​​degrees relative to the back plate 28 about an axis perpendicular to the back plate 28, thereby enabling the support component 14 to provide multi-angle and multi-directional support.

[0041] In this application, please also refer to Figure 6 As shown, the shaft connector 18 is approximately "Z"-shaped. Preferably, the first shaft portion 24 and the second shaft portion 26 are arranged parallel to each other, and the bending directions of the first shaft portion 24 and the second shaft portion 26 relative to the shaft body 22 are opposite. Further, the first shaft portion 24 is arranged perpendicular to the shaft body 22, and the second shaft portion 26 is arranged perpendicular to the shaft body 22. The first shaft portion 24 and the shaft body 22 are smoothly connected, and the second shaft portion 26 and the shaft body 22 are also smoothly connected. The smooth transition connection means that the bent part is an arc transition, rather than a right-angle bend. This design can reduce the interference between the bent part of the shaft connector 18 and the support member 14 and the rotating member 16. A gap 36 is formed between the rotating member 16 and the side wall of the mounting part 20. The shaft body 22 is located in the gap 36. When the support member 14 drives the rotating member 16 to rotate, the shaft body 22 rotates along the gap 36.

[0042] In the illustrated embodiments, please also refer to Figure 4 As shown, two shaft connectors 18 are provided, and the two connecting ends 40 are respectively connected to the connecting parts on opposite sides of the rotating member 16 through the shaft connectors 18. Among them, the connection structure of the support member 14 is the same as that of the two sides of the rotating member 16. The following description will only take one of the connection structures as an example.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the connecting part includes a first connecting hole 42, and a first shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the first connecting hole 42. A second connecting hole 44 is provided on the end face of the connecting end 40 of the support member 14, and a second shaft 26 is fixedly connected to the second connecting hole 44.

[0044] Furthermore, a bushing 46 is provided between the first shaft portion 24 and the first connecting hole 42, for example, the bushing 46 is tightly fitted between the first shaft portion 24 and the first connecting hole 42. The bushing 46 is fixedly connected in the first connecting hole 46, and the first shaft portion 24 is inserted in the bushing 46 and can rotate relative to the bushing 46. For example, the first connecting hole 42 extends to the circumferential side of the rotating member 16 to form a first fixing hole 48, and a first fixing part 50 is provided on the corresponding side of the bushing 46. The first fixing part 50 and the bushing 46 are, for example, integrally formed, and the first fixing part 50 is fixedly connected in the first fixing hole 48. Preferably, the bushing 46 is riveted to the rotating member 16; for example, a riveting post is provided in the first fixing hole 48, and a riveting hole is provided on the first fixing part 50. The riveting post and the riveting hole are riveted together, thereby fixing the bushing 46 to the rotating member 16. Optionally, the first connecting hole 42 and the first fixing hole 48 penetrate the sidewall of the rotating member 16 facing the accommodating space 32.

[0045] The first shaft portion 24 is rotatably connected within the bushing 46, which is, for example, a non-closed annular structure, allowing for a certain degree of deformation. The circumferential surface of the first shaft portion 24 includes at least one first plane 52 and at least one first arc surface 54 circumferentially connected. In this embodiment, two first planes 52 and two first arc surfaces 54 are provided, with the two first planes 52 and the two first arc surfaces 54 facing each other. The inner wall of the bushing 46 is adapted to the shape of the circumferential surface of the first shaft portion 24. This design increases the rotational resistance of the first shaft portion 24, increases the stability of the support member 14 at any position, and prevents the support member 14 from rotating without external force.

[0046] The second shaft portion 26 is fixedly connected within the second connecting hole 44. Specifically, the circumferential surface of the second shaft portion 26 includes at least one second plane 56 and at least one second arc surface 58 circumferentially connected. In this embodiment, two second planes 56 and two second arc surfaces 58 are provided, with the two second planes 56 and the two second arc surfaces 58 arranged opposite each other. The inner wall surface of the second connecting hole 44 is adapted to the shape of the circumferential surface of the second shaft portion 26. This design allows the second shaft portion 26 to be limited and fixed within the second connecting hole 44, preventing the second shaft portion 26 from rotating relative to the support member 14.

[0047] Preferably, the end of the second connecting hole 44 near the opening extends toward the shaft body 22 to form a clearance space 60, thereby increasing the width of the opening portion of the second connecting hole 44 to allow clearance from the shaft body 22. For example, the sidewall of the clearance space 60 near the shaft body 22 is inclined, so that the width of the clearance space 60 gradually increases toward the opening, forming an angled space to prevent interference between the shaft body 22 and the support member 14.

[0048] In the illustrated embodiments, please also refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the support assembly also includes a limiting structure, which is used to axially limit the rotating member 16, so that the rotating member 16 can only rotate relative to the back plate 28 and cannot move in a direction perpendicular to the back plate 28. The limiting structure includes a chassis 62 and a fixing member 64, with the rotating member 16 rotatably limited between the chassis 62 and the fixing member 64. The chassis 62 is located between the rotating member 16 and the bottom wall of the mounting portion 20, and is fixedly disposed within the mounting portion 20. The fixing member 64 is located on the side of the rotating member 16 opposite to the chassis 62 and is fixedly connected to the chassis 62, thereby achieving axial limitation of the rotating member 16.

[0049] Specifically, both the chassis 62 and the fixing member 64 are annular structures. The rotating member 16 has a sliding protrusion 66 on the side near the chassis 62. Correspondingly, the chassis 62 has an annular slide rail 68 on the side near the rotating member 16. The sliding protrusion 66 is located within the annular slide rail 68 and can slide within it, thus guiding and limiting the rotating member 16, ensuring that it can only rotate along the annular slide rail 68 and preventing it from wobbling during rotation. Preferably, multiple sliding protrusions 66 can be provided to increase rotational stability; for example, three protrusions 66 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the rotating member 16.

[0050] Furthermore, please also refer to Figure 9As shown, the fixing member 64 is recessed on the side facing the rotating member 16 to form a first receiving portion 70. For example, the first receiving portion 70 is formed on the outer edge of the fixing member 64 near the rotating member 16. The first receiving portion 70 is, for example, a groove structure. The chassis 62 is recessed on the side facing the rotating member 16 to form a second receiving portion 72. For example, the second receiving portion 72 is formed on the outer edge of the chassis 62 near the rotating member 16. The second receiving portion 72 is, for example, a groove structure. The annular slide rail 68 is provided on the bottom wall of the second receiving portion 72. A receiving cavity is formed between the first receiving portion 70 and the second receiving portion 72. The rotating member 16 is located in the receiving cavity. For example, the top surface of the rotating member 16 is in contact with the top wall of the first receiving portion 70, the bottom surface of the rotating member 16 is in contact with the bottom wall of the second receiving portion 72, the inner side wall of the rotating member 16 is in contact with the side walls of the first receiving portion 70 and the second receiving portion 72, and the bottom end face of the fixing member 64 is in contact with the top end face of the chassis 62. This can better limit the rotation of the rotating member 16 and further increase the rotational stability of the rotating member 16.

[0051] Preferably, the width of the second receiving portion 72 is set to be greater than the width of the first receiving portion 70, so that the outer peripheral surface of the chassis 62 abuts against the side wall of the mounting portion 20. The outer peripheral surface of the fixing member 64 is flush with the outer peripheral surface of the rotating member 16, and a gap 36 is formed between the side wall of the mounting portion 20 and the outer peripheral walls of the rotating member 16 and the fixing member 64, so that the rotating member 16 is hidden on the bottom side of the fixing member 64, and the rotation of the rotating member 16 cannot be seen from the outside, thus increasing the aesthetics of the product.

[0052] The fastener 64 is fixedly connected to the chassis 62. Specifically, the end face of the fastener 64 near the rotating component 16 has a second fixing hole 74, and the end face of the chassis 62 near the rotating component 16 has a second fixing part 76. The second fixing part 76 is fixedly connected to the second fixing hole 74, for example, by a beveling process. The second fixing part 76 is, for example, a conical structure, and the shape of the second fixing hole 74 is adapted to the shape of the second fixing part 76. Multiple second fixing parts 76 and second fixing holes 74 can be provided, for example, four each. The four second fixing parts 76 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the chassis 62, and the four second fixing holes 74 are correspondingly positioned to increase the stability of the fixed connection. This design can serve as a positioning and installation method. The conical design allows the fastener 64 to be fixed to the chassis 62 more easily without machine riveting, making installation easier. The four-corner fixing can distribute the force while reducing the risk of loosening, making the connection stable.

[0053] The fastener 64 is fixedly connected to the back plate 28. Specifically, the side wall of the mounting part 20 is provided with a locking position 78, for example, located near the bottom wall of the mounting part 20. The outer peripheral wall of the chassis 62 is provided with a corresponding protrusion 80, which is engaged in the locking position 78, thereby fixing the fastener 64 relative to the back plate 28. Preferably, multiple locking positions 78 and protrusions 80 can be provided, for example, four each. The four locking positions 78 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the mounting part 20, and the four protrusions 80 are correspondingly positioned to increase the stability of the fixed connection. With this design, the part of the mounting part 20 corresponding to the chassis 62 is not screwed through, eliminating the need to consider the riveting problem of the chassis 62, eliminating the risk of detachment, avoiding the risk of the chassis metal parts scratching the electronic equipment, and eliminating the need to use Mylar film to cover the chassis 62, reducing costs and simplifying the installation process.

[0054] In the illustrated embodiment, the rotating member 16, the fixing member 64, and the chassis 62 are each provided with annular holes 82 at their center. The rotating member 16 is installed radially outside the fixing member 64 and the chassis 62. Therefore, the diameter of the annular hole 82 of the rotating member 16 is larger than the diameter of the annular hole 82 of the chassis 62 / fixing member 64. The bottom wall of the mounting part 20 is provided with an integrally hollowed-out through hole 84 at its center. One end of the through hole 84 communicates with the accommodating space 32, and the other end communicates with the mounting part 20. That is, the through hole 84 is provided through the back plate 28 of the housing 12. The through hole 84 can be circular. The rotating part 16, the base 62 and the fixing part 64 are all annular. The hollow area formed by the rotating part 16, the base 62 and the fixing part 64 corresponds to the position of the through hole 84. The hollow area is formed by the annular hole 82 of the rotating part 16, the annular hole 82 of the fixing part 64 and the annular hole 82 of the base 62. The through hole 84, the annular hole 82 of the rotating part 16, the annular hole 82 of the fixing part 64 and the annular hole 82 of the base 62 are all single hole structures. The rotating component 16, the fixing component 64, and the chassis 62 are mounted on the bottom wall of the mounting part 20, located around the through hole 84, so that the through hole 84 connects the accommodating space 32 and the hollow area formed by the three annular holes 82. The through hole 84 and the hollow area are used to expose at least a part of the surface of the electronic device, such as a part of the back of the electronic device. For example, the back of the electronic device is provided with graphic markings, which correspond to the position of the through hole 84. That is, the through hole 84 and the hollow area are used to expose the graphic markings on the back of the electronic device, so that the graphic markings on the back of the electronic device can be seen from the back side of the housing 12 through the hollow area and the through hole 82, which increases the aesthetic appeal of the design.

[0055] Preferably, the mounting part 20 is a circular groove on the side of the back plate 28 opposite to the receiving space 32, and the storage part 34 is an annular groove on the side of the back plate 28 opposite to the receiving space 32. A portion of the through hole 84 is located within the area enclosed by the storage part 34, and the other portion of the through hole 84 is located outside the area enclosed by the storage part 34. The diameter of the through hole 84 is the same as the diameter of the annular hole 82 of the fixing member 64 and the annular hole 82 of the chassis 62. That is, the hole walls of the through hole 84, the annular hole 82 of the chassis 62, and the annular hole 82 of the fixing member 64 are flush, which increases the aesthetics. After the electronic device is installed in the receiving space 32, the entire graphic mark, such as the trademark or logo, can be exposed through the through hole 84 and the three annular holes 82, which increases the design aesthetics.

[0056] In the illustrated embodiment, the support member 14 has a handle at one end opposite to the rotating member 16. The handle may be, for example, a stepped groove structure, so that the user can operate the support member 14 to rotate through the handle.

[0057] In summary, this application provides an electronic device accessory, including a housing and a support assembly. The support assembly includes a support member and a rotating member, which are rotatably connected to the housing. Both the support member and the rotating member are annular. The support member has a break and two connecting ends located at the break. The rotating member is located at the break. Connecting portions are provided on the outer circumferential wall of the rotating member corresponding to the two connecting ends, and the two connecting ends are rotatably connected to the two connecting portions respectively. This application provides a support assembly with a novel layout, where the support member and the rotating member intersect. On the one hand, this allows the support member and the rotating member to correspond to different areas on the same plane of the housing when in the stored state, avoiding stacking in the thickness direction and reducing the space occupied in the thickness direction of the housing, thus allowing for a thinner housing. On the other hand, it increases the connection stability between the support member and the rotating member, as well as the aesthetics of the design, providing users with a better product experience.

[0058] The concepts described herein may be implemented in other forms without departing from their spirit and characteristics. The specific embodiments disclosed should be considered illustrative rather than restrictive. Therefore, the scope of this application is determined by the appended claims, and not by the preceding description. Any changes within the literal meaning and equivalent scope of the claims should fall within the scope of those claims.
