[0021] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or related technologies, a clear and complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] A rotating stand is a common electronic device accessory, typically mounted on the back of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, to facilitate user operation. In some technologies, rotating stands are generally adhesively attached to the back of the phone case. However, prolonged use can weaken the adhesive, causing the stand to become loose and prone to detachment. Alternatively, the rotating stand can be fixed to the back of the phone case using a bolt or other fastener. However, this assembly method is more complex, and after prolonged rotation, the bolt or fastener can easily wear down the back of the phone, potentially causing damage.

[0023] In view of the above situation, please refer to Figures 1-2. This application proposes a mobile phone case 1, including a housing 10 and a bracket assembly 20. The mobile phone case 1 can be attached to a mobile phone to protect the mobile phone and facilitate its use.

[0024] A receiving space 12 is provided on the back side 11 of the housing 10, and a boss structure 13 is provided on the inner sidewall 121 forming the receiving space 12 (as shown in Figure 6). The housing 10 is used to fit onto a mobile phone, and the back side 11 of the housing 10 is also located on the back of the mobile phone. For example, the receiving space 12 can be a through hole penetrating the housing 10, and the boss structure 13 is provided on the hole wall of the through hole; or, the receiving space 12 can be a receiving groove that does not penetrate the housing 10, and the boss structure 13 is provided on the groove sidewall of the receiving groove.

[0025] As shown in Figures 2-4, the bracket assembly 20 is disposed in the receiving space 12. The bracket assembly 20 includes a first connector 21 and a second connector 22. The first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are stacked and connected to each other, and a limiting groove 211 is defined between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22. The boss structure 13 is located in the limiting groove 211. The first connector 21 and the second connector 22 can rotate 360° with respect to the housing 10.

[0026] Specifically, a clearance space may be provided on the side of the first connector 21 near the second connector 22, forming a limiting groove 211; alternatively, a clearance space may be provided on the side of the second connector 22 near the first connector 21, forming a limiting groove 211; or alternatively, both the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 may have a clearance space, which together form a limiting groove 211. The first connector 21 and the second connector 22 may be connected by adhesive, snap-fit, or plug-in methods, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this connection.

[0027] The bracket assembly 20 also includes a bracket 23, which is connected to either the first connector 21 or the second connector 22. The bracket 23 is disposed on the back side 11 of the phone case 1 to provide support for the case 10 and the phone installed inside the case 10. Specifically, in the direction from the back side 11 of the case 10 to the interior of the case 10, the first connector 21 can be located above the second connector 22, in which case the bracket 23 is connected to the first connector 21; or the second connector 22 can be located above the first connector 21, in which case the bracket 23 is connected to the second connector 22. In addition, the shape of the bracket 23 can be ring-shaped, square, or irregular, etc., and can be selected according to the actual situation. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0028] It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the application, by providing a receiving space 12 on the back side 11 of the housing 10 and providing a boss structure 13 on the inner side wall 121 of the receiving space 12, the bracket assembly 20 can be installed on the housing 10 through the cooperation of the limiting groove 211 and the boss structure 13. The limiting groove 211 is defined by the first connector 21 and the second connector 22. That is to say, the boss structure 13 is clamped between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 to reduce the possibility of the bracket assembly 20 falling off the housing 10. The cooperation between the boss structure 13 and the limiting groove 211 not only makes the assembly of the mobile phone case 1 simple, but also improves the reliability of the installation and use of the bracket assembly 20 on the housing 10.

[0029] In some embodiments, the boss structure 13 can be configured as a plurality of boss structures 13, which are arranged at intervals on the inner sidewall 121 of the receiving space 12 to facilitate the cooperation and rotation between the limiting groove 211 and the boss structure 13.

[0030] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2. In some embodiments of this application, the boss structure 13 extends around the axis M of the receiving space 12 on the inner sidewall 121 of the receiving space 12. That is, the limiting groove 211 is also arranged around the first connector 21 and the second connector 22, thereby making the connection between the limiting groove 211 and the boss structure 13 more stable and further reducing the possibility of the bracket assembly 20 falling off the housing 10.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 3-4. In some embodiments of this application, the phone case 1 has a receiving cavity for assembling a phone; the second connector 22 is located between the first connector 21 and the phone, that is, in the direction from the back side 11 of the case 10 to the receiving cavity, the first connector 21 is located above the second connector 22.

[0032] The first connector 21 has a first side 212 away from the bottom wall of the receiving cavity. The first side 212 and the back side 11 of the housing 10 are located in the same plane. It can be understood that the first side 212 is flush with the back side 11 of the housing 10, thereby improving the integration between the bracket assembly 20 and the housing 10, reducing the interference between the phone case 1 and external parts, and making the phone case 1 more convenient to use.

[0033] Further, please refer to Figure 5. The bracket 23 includes a bracket body 231 and a connecting part 232. The connecting part 232 is connected to the bracket body 231 and is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 21 about a first direction N. Specifically, the connecting part 232 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 21 about a first direction N through a rotating shaft 24. The first direction N is parallel to the first side 212. The user can apply force to the bracket body 231 and the first part 2321, thereby causing the first connecting member 21 and the second connecting member 22 to rotate. This facilitates the adjustment of the position of the bracket body 231 relative to the housing 10. The angle between the bracket body 231 and the first connecting member 21 can change, that is, the angle between the bracket body 231 and the housing 10 can be adjusted so that the bracket 23 can provide placement support for the housing 10 and the mobile phone at any angle to meet the different usage requirements of the user.

[0034] The support body 231 has a first break 233, and the connecting part 232 includes a first part 2321 and a second part 2322. To improve the connection strength of the connecting part 232, the connecting part 232 can be made of metal as a whole. Thus, there is a gap between the first part 2321 and the second part 2322, and the first part 2321 and the second part 2322 are located on opposite sides of the first break 233, which can play an insulating role and reduce the motion interference between the first part 2321 and the second part 2322.

[0035] In some embodiments, the bracket 23 is a metal bracket to improve its strength. Since some mobile phones have wireless charging capabilities, if a foreign metal object enters the electromagnetic induction area of ​​the phone's charging circuit when the phone is mounted inside the phone case 1, it will alter the distribution of the charging magnetic field, affecting the electromagnetic induction between the wireless charging device and the phone, thus causing the phone to disconnect from charging. Therefore, as shown in Figure 5, in some embodiments of this application, the bracket 23 has a second break 234, meaning the bracket 23 is not enclosed, to reduce the impact of the bracket 23 on the wireless charging of the phone. Simultaneously, the bracket assembly 20 also includes an isolator 25, which is connected to the bracket 23 and seals the second break 234. The isolator 25 is made of plastic or other insulating materials, which not only effectively reduces the problem of phone disconnection but also improves the strength of the bracket 23.

[0036] Further, please refer to Figures 4-5. A storage groove 213 is provided on the first connector 21 for storing the bracket 23, so as to facilitate the storage of the bracket 23. Alternatively, the storage groove 213 is provided on both the first connector 21 and the second connector 22. The depth of the storage groove 213 is the same as the thickness of the bracket 23. That is to say, when the bracket 23 is stored in the storage groove 213, the side of the bracket 23 away from the first connector 21 is flush with the back side 11 of the housing 10, which helps to improve the flatness of the back side 11 of the phone case 1. In addition, an operating part, such as a recessed notch, can be provided on the bracket 23, so that the user can rotate the bracket 23 from the operating part to rotate the bracket 23 away from the storage groove 213.

[0037] The entire bracket assembly 20 is made of metal to enhance its strength. As shown in Figure 5, a magnetic element 26 is provided on the side of the bracket 23 facing the first connector 21. When the bracket 23 needs to be stored in the storage slot 213, the magnetic element 26 on the bracket 23 can attract the back side 11 of the housing 10 or the bottom wall of the storage slot 213, so that the bracket 23 can return to the storage slot 213 under the attraction of the magnetic element 26, thereby reducing the possibility of the bracket 23 rotating randomly. The magnetic element 26 can be a magnet. In addition, an adsorption groove can be formed on the bottom wall of the storage slot 213 to accommodate the magnetic element 26, thereby reducing the space occupied by the bracket assembly 20.

[0038] Further, please refer to Figure 6. In some embodiments, the second connector 22 has a second side 222 that is away from the first connector 21. That is, when the phone case 1 is put on the phone, the second side 222 of the second connector 22 can contact the back of the phone. Since the bracket assembly 20 can support the phone in actual use, the bracket assembly 20 will exert a certain force on the back of the phone. At this time, a flexible material layer 223 is provided on the second side 222. The flexible material layer 223 is used to contact the back of the phone to protect the phone and reduce the wear of the bracket assembly 20 on the back of the phone.

[0039] For example, a groove for mounting the flexible material layer 223 can be formed on the second side 222 to make the mounting of the flexible material layer 223 more secure. At the same time, the thickness of the flexible material layer 223 is greater than the depth of the groove to reduce the contact between the second side 222 and the back of the mobile phone, so as to facilitate the contact between the flexible material layer 223 and the back of the mobile phone. The flexible material layer 223 can be a rubber layer, a sponge layer, etc., and there is no specific limitation here.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 4. In some embodiments of this application, there is a gap between the groove wall of the limiting groove 211 and the boss structure 13, and the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 are rotatable relative to the housing 10 about the axis M of the receiving space 12.

[0041] Specifically, the gap between the groove wall of the limiting groove 211 and the boss structure 13, and the gap between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 and the inner sidewall 121 of the accommodating space 12, are conducive to the rotation of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 relative to the housing 10, reducing the interference between the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 and the housing 10 or the boss structure 13 when rotating. The rotation of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 can drive the bracket 23 to rotate as well, so that the bracket 23 can provide placement support for the housing 10 and the mobile phone in any direction, increasing the usage scenarios of the mobile phone case 1.

[0042] Further, please refer to Figures 7-9. In some embodiments of this application, a placement groove 221 is provided on the side of the first connector 21 near the boss structure 13 and / or on the side of the second connector 22 near the boss structure 13. That is, when only one placement groove 221 is provided, the placement groove 221 can be provided on the side of the first connector 21 near the boss structure 13, or the placement groove 221 can also be provided on the side of the second connector 22 near the boss structure 13. When two or more placement grooves 221 are provided, the placement groove 221 can be provided on the side of the first connector 21 near the boss structure 13 and on the side of the second connector 22 near the boss structure 13.

[0043] The phone case 1 also includes an elastic element 30, which includes an elastic body 31 and a protrusion 32 connected to each other. The elastic body 31 is disposed in the placement groove 221, and the protrusion 32 extends out of the placement groove 221. The boss structure 13 is provided with a mating groove 131 for the protrusion 32 to be inserted on the side near the placement groove 221.

[0044] Specifically, when the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 rotate relative to the housing 10, the elastic member 30 will also rotate relative to the boss structure 13. At this time, the protrusion 32 on the elastic member 30 slides along the side of the boss structure 13. When the boss slides to the position opposite to the mating groove 131, the protrusion 32 inserts into the mating groove 131. The mating groove 131 can provide resistance to the protrusion 32 of the elastic member 30, thereby enabling the bracket assembly 20 to support the housing 10 more stably and reducing the possibility of the bracket assembly 20 rotating due to accidental contact. At the same time, during the rotation of the elastic member 30, friction is generated between the protrusion 32 and the boss structure 13, thereby providing a sense of friction for the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 during rotation. The elastic body 31 and the groove wall of the placement groove 221 can be bonded by adhesive or by other methods such as snap-fit, which are not specifically limited here.

[0045] In other embodiments, the placement groove 221 may also be formed on the side of the first connector 21 near the inner wall 121 of the receiving space 12 and / or the side of the second connector 22 near the inner wall 121 of the receiving space 12. The mating groove 131 may also be formed on the inner wall 121 of the receiving space 12, and the position of the mating groove 131 corresponds to the position of the placement groove 221, that is, the mating groove 131 is arranged adjacent to the boss structure 13. At this time, when the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 rotate relative to the housing 10, they can also drive the elastic member 30 to rotate, so that the protrusion 32 on the elastic member 30 slides along the inner wall 121 of the receiving space 12, and the protrusion 32 slides into or out of the mating groove 131 on the inner wall 121 of the receiving space 12.

[0046] Further, please refer to Figure 7. In some embodiments of this application, the groove wall surface of the mating groove 131 is a concave arc surface, and the side of the protrusion 32 facing the mating groove 131 can be set as an upward convex arc surface, thereby making the process of the protrusion 32 sliding into and out of the mating groove 131 smoother.

[0047] Further, referring to Figures 6 and 7, multiple mating grooves 131 are provided, and these grooves 131 are spaced apart around the axis M of the receiving space 12 on the boss structure 13. This allows the protrusion 32 to be more easily inserted into the mating grooves 131 at different positions when the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 rotate at any angle, thus providing rotational resistance to the bracket assembly 20. It is understood that the multiple mating grooves 131 can be evenly spaced, allowing the user to clearly understand the specific rotation angles of the first connector 21 and the second connector 22.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figures 8-9. In some embodiments of this application, the elastic body 31 includes a support arm 311 and an elastic arm 312. The elastic arm 312 is disposed at both ends of the support arm 311 and abuts against the bottom wall of the placement groove 221. The protrusion 32 is disposed on the support arm 311.

[0049] Specifically, when the protrusion 32 is subjected to an external force, the elastic arm 312 deforms, causing the boss structure 13 to press the protrusion 32 from the outside of the placement groove 221 into the placement groove 221, thereby allowing the first connector 21 and the second connector 22 to rotate normally relative to the housing 10. For example, the protrusion 32 is located in the middle portion of the support arm 311, and the elastic arm 312 is located at opposite ends of the support arm 311, thereby allowing the elastic arm 312 to evenly distribute the force on the support arm 311, thus extending the service life of the elastic body 31.
