[0024] In view of this, the shell is proposed in the embodiments of the present disclosure, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, which is an embodiment of the shell proposed in the embodiments, and the shell will be described in detail below in combination with specific drawings.

[0025] Referring to FIGS. 1-6, the shell 100 is used in a terminal device 1000, wherein the shell 100 comprises a housing 1 and a support structure 2, the housing 1 has a support end 11, and a first side 12 and a second side 13 oppositely arranged in a first direction; the support structure 2 is arranged at the support end 11, and the support structure 2 comprises a first support part 21 movably arranged at the support end 11 in the first direction, and has a first support position and a first avoiding position in the movable stroke of the first support part 21; wherein at the first support position, at least part of the first support part 21 is arranged beyond the first side 12, and at the first avoiding position, the first support part 21 is arranged closer to the second side 13 of the housing 1 than at the first support position.

[0026] In the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the shell 100 comprises the housing 1, and the housing 1 has the support end 11 and the opposite first side 12 and second side 13, and the first support part 21 mounted at the support end 11 is mainly arranged to stably support the terminal device 1000 placed on a table, and the specific structure and movement form of the first support part 21 are not limited, only the first support part 21 has the first support position and the first avoiding position in the movable stroke of the first support part 21, and at the first support position, the position relationship between the first support part 21 and the first side 12 is that the first support part 21 is arranged beyond the first side 12 to ensure the stability of support, and at the first avoiding position, the first support part 21 is arranged closer to the second side 13 of the housing 1 than at the first support position to avoid that when the first side 12 is arranged to be hung on a wall or placed in an information box, the first support part 21 causes excessive interference to ensure the stability of wall hanging installation. In summary, compared with the existing FTTR terminal device 1000, the embodiments of the present disclosure can realize that the FTTR terminal device 1000 is compatible with table placement, wall hanging placement and information box placement at the same time, and the support structure 2 and the housing 1 are connected in one piece to improve the applicability of the terminal device 1000.

[0027] Specifically, to further ensure the stability of wall hanging installation, it can be understood that generally the first side 12 of the terminal device 1000 needs to be attached to a wall surface, therefore in some embodiments, when the first support part 21 is at the first avoiding position, the first side 12 of the shell 100 is arranged beyond the first support part 21, or in other embodiments, when the first support part 21 is at the first avoiding position, the end of the first support part 21 is flush with the first side 12 of the shell 100. That is, the first support part 21 is accommodated into the first side 12 so that the first side 12 can be attached to a wall surface to meet the stability requirement of wall hanging.

[0028] In addition, the support structure 2 further comprises a second support part 22 arranged at the support end 11. The specific structure of the support structure 2 can not be limited, which can guarantee stable support of the terminal device 1000 on the desktop and ensure the stability of the desktop placement. Therefore, the support structure 2 can be arranged as only the first support part 21, or can be arranged as a combination of the first support part 21 and the second support part 22, or can be arranged as a combination of more support parts. In the embodiment, the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 are mainly arranged in a combination support mode, which can guarantee the stability of support and has a small number of structural parts and low cost.

[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, at least one of the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 is provided with an avoiding groove 23 to provide avoiding space for the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 when the first support part 21 is at the first avoiding position. It can be understood that the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 at the support end 11 can be arranged at intervals, but when arranged at intervals, the size of the support end 11 needs to be large enough. However, the terminal device 1000 generally has a small size in the embodiment of the present disclosure. If the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 are still arranged at intervals, the structural size of the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 must be correspondingly small, which may exist unstable support. Therefore, at least one of the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 is provided with the avoiding groove 23 in the embodiment, so that when the first support part 21 is at the first avoiding position, the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 are synchronously arranged at the support end 11 by the avoiding space provided by the avoiding groove 23, the space occupied by the support structure 2 composed of the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 is reduced, and the use is facilitated.

[0030] In an exemplary embodiment, the avoiding groove 23 is arranged at the second support part 22, and the first support part 21 is at least partially accommodated in the avoiding groove 23 when at the first avoiding position. The avoiding groove 23 can be arranged at any one of the first support part 21 and the second support part 22, which has been described in detail above. In the embodiment, the avoiding groove 23 is mainly arranged at the second support part 22, and the first support part 21 is at least partially accommodated in the avoiding groove 23 when at the first avoiding position, so as to reduce the occupied space.

[0031] In an example embodiment, in order to ensure that the first support part 21 can be stably positioned in the first support position or the first avoiding position and ensure the stability of its function, a limiting structure 24 can be arranged to limit the first support part 21, and the specific arrangement of the limiting structure 24 can not be limited as long as it can achieve the above-mentioned function. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the limiting structure 24 is arranged between the first support part 21 and the second support part 22, and the limiting structure 24 is arranged to limit the first support part 21 when the first support part 21 is in the first avoiding position or the first support position. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the limiting structure 24 is arranged between the first support part 21 and the shell 1, and the limiting structure 24 is used to limit the first support part 21 when the first support part 21 is in the first avoiding position or the first support position.

[0032] In an example embodiment, the limiting structure 24 includes a limiting part 241 and a matching part 242. The limiting part 241 is arranged on the first support part 21, and the matching part 242 is arranged on the side wall of the avoiding groove 23. When the first support part 21 is in the first support position or the first avoiding position, the limiting part 241 and the matching part 242 are matched with each other to limit the first support part 21. In this embodiment, the limiting structure 24 is mainly arranged between the first support part 21 and the second support part 22, and specifically, it is arranged between the first support part 21 and the side wall of the avoiding groove 23. That is, the limiting structure 24 includes the limiting part 241 and the matching part 242. The limiting part 241 is arranged on the first support part 21, and the matching part 242 is arranged on the side wall of the avoiding groove 23. When the first support part 21 moves between the first support position and the first avoiding position, the limiting part 241 moves laterally relative to the matching part 242. When the first support part 21 is in the first support position or the first avoiding position, the limiting part 241 and the matching part 242 are matched to limit the first support part 21, realize the limiting function of the limiting structure 24, and ensure the stability of the first support part 21 in the first support position or the first avoiding position.

[0033] Specifically, one of the limiting part 241 and the matching part 242 is a limiting protrusion 241a, and the other is a limiting groove 242a. The specific structure of the limiting part 241 and the matching part 242 can not be limited, including but not limited to the cooperation of a pin and a hole, the cooperation of a clamping part and a clamping piece, etc., as long as it can achieve the limiting function. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the limiting part 241 and the matching part 242 are arranged as the limiting protrusion 241a and the limiting groove 242a, which is simple in structure and good in effect.

[0034] Further, the limiting structure 24 comprises two matching portions 242, which comprise a first matching portion 242 and a second matching portion 242; when in the first supporting position, the first matching portion 242 matches with the limiting portion 241 to limit; when in the first avoiding position, the second matching portion 242 matches with the limiting portion 241 to limit. The limiting structure 24 can be arranged to limit the first supporting portion 21 in the first supporting position or the first avoiding position, which has been described above. In the embodiment, the limiting structure 24 is arranged to limit the first supporting portion 21 in the first avoiding position, and also can limit the first supporting portion 21 in the first supporting position, that is, the limiting structure 24 is internally provided with two matching portions 242, specifically the first matching portion 242 and the second matching portion 242. When the first supporting portion 21 is in the first supporting position, the first matching portion 242 matches with the limiting portion 241 to limit the first supporting portion 21. When the first supporting portion 21 is in the first avoiding position, the second matching portion 242 matches with the limiting portion 241. That is, the first supporting portion 21 is limited in two positions by one limiting portion 241, which simplifies the structure and reduces the cost. Of course, the limiting portion 241 can also be independently arranged, that is, two limiting portions 241 are arranged to match with two matching portions 242 respectively to realize the function of limiting the first supporting portion 21 in two positions, which is not limited here and is mainly based on the actual demand.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the first support portion 21 is rotatably mounted; and the two matching portions 242 are distributed along the circumference of the rotation axis of the first support portion 21. The movement mode of the first support portion 21 can not be limited, that is, the first support portion 21 can be rotatably mounted on the shell 1, or can be linearly movably mounted on the shell 1. In the present embodiment, the first support portion 21 is rotatably mounted on the shell 1. In this way, when the first support portion 21 rotates to the first supporting position, the limiting portion 241 thereon matches the first matching portion 242; and when the first support portion 21 rotates to the first avoiding position, the limiting portion 241 thereon matches the second matching portion 242. On this basis, the distance between the two matching portions 242 and the rotation axis of the first support portion 21 can not be limited, that is, can be equal or different, which depends on the size of the limiting portion 241. When the limiting portion 241 extends radially along the rotation axis of the first support portion 21, the matching points of the first matching portion 242 and the second matching portion 242 with the limiting portion 241 do not have to be the same. In this case, the distance between the two matching portions 242 and the rotation axis of the first support portion 21 can be set to be different. Conversely, when the matching points of the two matching portions 242 with the limiting portion 241 are the same, the distance between the two matching portions 242 and the rotation axis of the first support portion 21 must also be set to be the same. The specific setting mode is mainly based on actual needs, which is not limited herein.

[0036] In addition, the movement mode of the first support portion 21 is simply described above, that is, the first support portion 21 can be rotatably arranged on the shell 1, or can be slidably arranged on the shell 1 in the first direction. The specific arrangement mode is also mainly based on actual needs, which is not limited herein.

[0037] In addition, the second support portion 22 is fixedly arranged on the support end 11. The second support portion 22 is located on the side of the first support portion 21 close to the second side 13. When the terminal device 1000 is arranged to be hung on the wall, the second support portion 22 is away from the wall surface. Therefore, the specific arrangement mode of the second support portion 22 does not need to be limited. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the second support portion 22 is fixedly arranged on the support end 11. Of course, the fixedly arranged second support end 11 can also be a detachable structure. The specific arrangement mode is mainly based on actual needs, which is not limited herein.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the second support portion 22 is movably arranged in the first direction on the support end 11, and has a second support position and a second avoiding position in the movement stroke of the second support portion 22; when in the second support position, at least part of the second support portion 22 is arranged beyond the second side 13; when in the second avoiding position, the second support portion 22 is arranged closer to the first side 12 of the housing 1 than in the second support position. Like the first support portion 21 movably arranged on the support end 11, when the terminal device 1000 is placed on a desktop, the first support portion 21 needs to support together with the second support portion 22, and the first support portion 21 has the first support position which has been described above, in order to ensure the stability of the support, the second support portion 22 needs to be extended out of the second side 13 of the housing 1, and when it is needed to be stored, the movably arranged second support portion 22 also needs to be arranged in the second avoiding position, unlike the first avoiding position of the first support portion 21, the second support portion 22 arranged in the second avoiding position is mainly used for appearance arrangement, and does not affect the wall hanging of the terminal device 1000, therefore, in the present embodiment, it is limited that when the second support portion 22 is arranged in the second avoiding position, it is arranged closer to the first side 12 of the housing 1 than in the second support position, and the specific position does not need to be limited, and is mainly based on actual needs.
