[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile phone case technology, specifically to a mobile phone case component and a mobile phone case customized unmanned vending machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology and the widespread use of smartphones, people often put phone cases on the outside of their smartphones when they buy them. These cases protect the smartphones, decorate them, and make them more personalized.

[0003] To reduce labor costs, custom phone case vending machines are typically deployed in shopping malls or other high-traffic areas to provide unmanned self-service sales. These machines can print user-provided images and designs onto phone cases using a printing device, thus offering personalized services. However, because phone cases often have protective camera structures or other functional features on the back, the printing device operates with the back of the phone case facing upwards. Since these functional structures are usually higher than the printing surface, the print head needs to be raised to avoid them. This results in the print head being too far from the printing surface, significantly impacting the clarity of the printed image. Summary of the Invention

[0042] In the description of this application, references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some alternative implementations," or "some optional embodiments," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the invention. In this specification, illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. One embodiment of this application provides a mobile phone case assembly, including:

[0044] The phone case body 10 has a receiving slot 11 for storing the phone.

[0045] The printing portion 20 is provided on the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11. A printing surface 21 with a preset color is formed on the printing portion 20. The printing surface 21 is flush with or protrudes from the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11.

[0046] The printing surface 21 of the printing portion 20 is used to adhere printing ink. The printing portion 20 can be integrally injection molded with the phone case body 10, or it can be assembled with the phone case body 10 in other suitable ways. The printing portion 20 is easily distinguishable from the phone case body 10, and the edge of the printing surface 21 can form a clear boundary with the phone case body 10, which helps the printing device to identify the outline of the printing surface 21 and facilitates printing.

[0047] During printing, the receiving groove 11 of the phone case body 10 faces downward and the printing part 20 faces upward. The printing surface 21 is the highest relative to the phone case assembly. Therefore, the nozzle of the printing device can reach the most suitable distance from the printing surface 21 for printing without being affected by other structures of the phone case body 10, resulting in a clearer printing effect.

[0048] The default color is usually white because the printing device usually needs to spray a layer of ink, such as white ink, on the printing surface before printing the pattern, so that the ink corresponding to the subsequent printed pattern can adhere. The printing surface 21 is designed to be white in advance, which can save the printing device from spraying white ink, saving printing time. Moreover, since white ink often clogs the print head of the printing device when the printing device is not used for a period of time, causing maintenance to be required, saving the spraying of white ink can also reduce the frequency of maintenance and avoid the print head of the printing device from becoming clogged.

[0049] In addition, to meet personalized needs, the phone case body 10 is usually in a different color, and the printing surface 21 uses a separate preset color to easily distinguish it from the color of the phone case body 10, making it easier for the printing device to accurately identify the printing surface 21. Of course, depending on the actual situation, the preset color can also be selected as other colors as appropriate, and this example is not the only one.

[0050] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, in some optional embodiments, a clearance hole 111 is provided in the receiving groove 11. The clearance hole 111 connects to the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11. After the phone is placed in the receiving groove 11, the phone lens can extend into the clearance hole 111, or it can be arranged opposite to the clearance hole 111. The phone case assembly also includes a lens protection frame 30, which is disposed at the clearance hole 111 and is detachably engaged with the phone case body 10; or, the phone case assembly also includes multiple lens protection frames 30, which have different structures. Any one of the multiple lens protection frames 30 is disposed at the clearance hole 111 and is detachably engaged with the phone case body 10.

[0051] The lens protective frame 30 is detachable from the phone case body 10. This design prevents the lens protective frame 30 from interfering with the print head's proximity to the printing surface 21. Since phone lenses typically protrude from the back of the phone, they often pass through the clearance hole 111. Therefore, the lens protective frame 30 needs sufficient height. This results in the lens protective frame 30 being higher than the printing surface 21 when the phone case body 10 is placed with the receiving groove 11 facing downwards. To avoid the lens protective frame 30, the print head has to be raised, leading to an excessive distance between the printing surface 21 and the print head. By making the lens protective frame 30 detachable, the phone case assembly and lens protective frame 30 are pre-stored in the phone case vending machine before printing. Furthermore, the lens protective frame 30 is detached from the phone case body 10 before printing. During printing, since the lens protective frame 30 is not installed on the phone case body 10, it prevents the lens protective frame 30 from obstructing the print head's proximity to the printing surface 21. After printing is complete, the lens protection frame 30 is installed on the phone case body 10.

[0052] When the phone case assembly includes multiple lens protection frames 30, users can choose the appropriate lens protection frame 30 to install on the phone case body 10 according to their needs, thus meeting the users' personalized needs.

[0053] In some alternative embodiments, when the lens protection frame 30 is installed on the phone case body 10, the lens protection frame 30 protrudes from the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11, and the height of the lens protection frame 30 relative to the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11 is higher than the height of the printing surface 21. When the phone case body 10 is placed with the receiving groove 11 facing down, the top of the lens protection frame 30 is higher than the height of the printing surface 21. Therefore, before printing, the lens protection frame 30 is separated from the phone case body 10 to avoid the lens protection frame 30 affecting the printing. After the lens protection frame 30 is installed on the phone case body 10, the lens protection frame 30 also has sufficient height to effectively adapt to the height of the phone lens, which is beneficial to protect the phone lens.

[0054] Referring to Figures 5 to 8, in some optional embodiments, the lens protection frame 30 is a first protection frame 40, a second protection frame 50, a third protection frame 60, or a fourth protection frame 70. When the phone case assembly includes one lens protection frame 30, the lens protection frame 30 can be one of the first protection frame 40, the second protection frame 50, the third protection frame 60, or the fourth protection frame 70. When the phone case assembly includes multiple lens protection frames 30, the multiple lens protection frames 30 correspond to multiple of the first protection frame 40, the second protection frame 50, the third protection frame 60, or the fourth protection frame 70. For example, the phone case assembly includes two lens protection frames 30, one of which is the first protection frame 40, and the other lens protection frame 30 is the second protection frame 50. The design of multiple protection frames helps to meet the personalized needs of users.

[0055] The first protective frame 40 is provided with a plurality of light-transmitting holes 41. A light-transmitting lens 42 can be provided inside the light-transmitting hole 41 to improve the protection of the mobile phone lens and the sealing of the light-transmitting hole 41; or, the light-transmitting lens 42 may not be provided inside the light-transmitting hole 41, so that the light-transmitting hole 41 is unobstructed, making it convenient to avoid structures or decorations on the mobile phone lens. Of course, other suitable light-transmitting structures or functional structures can also be provided inside the light-transmitting hole 41. In this embodiment, the light-transmitting lens 42 can be provided inside the light-transmitting hole 41 as an example for explanation. When the first protective frame 40 is detachably fitted with the phone case body 10, the first protective frame 40 closes the clearance hole 111, and the light-transmitting hole 41 communicates with the clearance hole 111. By closing the clearance hole 111, the first protective frame 40 can improve the protection of the phone lens. The light-transmitting hole 41 is arranged correspondingly to the phone lens, and the lens prevents dust and other impurities from passing through the light-transmitting hole 41. When there are multiple lenses on the phone, the first protective frame 40 is provided with multiple light-transmitting holes 41, which are arranged correspondingly to the lenses. The communication between the light-transmitting hole 41 and the clearance hole 111 means that light can at least pass through the light-transmitting hole 41 and enter the clearance hole 111.

[0056] The second protective frame 50 is provided with a first clearance frame opening 51. When the second protective frame 50 is detachably engaged with the phone case body 10, the second protective frame 50 is arranged around the clearance hole 111, and the clearance frame opening is connected to the clearance hole 111. Since some users have installed decorations or functional components on their phone lenses, in order to avoid interference between the second protective frame 50 and the decorations, the second protective frame 50 surrounds the phone lens to provide protection for the side of the phone lens. The decorations or functional components can extend into the first clearance frame opening 51 to prevent the second protective frame 50 from interfering with the decorations or functional components.

[0057] The third protective frame 60 is provided with a second clearance frame opening 61 and a protective cover 62. The protective cover 62 is movably engaged with the third protective frame 60 and can move relative to the third protective frame 60 to a position where the second clearance frame opening 61 is closed and a position where the second clearance frame opening 61 is open. When the fourth protective frame 70 is detachably engaged with the phone case body 10, the second protective frame 50 is arranged around the clearance hole 111, and the second clearance frame opening 61 communicates with the clearance hole 111. By opening or closing the protective cover 62, the user can open the protective cover 62 when the phone lens needs to be used and close the protective cover 62 when the phone lens does not need to be used, thereby providing effective protection for the phone lens. The protective cover 62 can be slidably engaged or rotatedly engaged with the third protective frame 60. For example, the protective cover 62 can be rotatedly engaged with the third protective frame 60 via a pivot, or the third protective frame 60 can be provided with a sliding groove, and the protective cover 62 can be slidably engaged with the sliding groove.

[0058] A bracket 71 is provided on the fourth protective frame 70. The bracket 71 is movably engaged with the fourth protective frame 70 and can move relative to the fourth protective frame 70 to a folded position and an unfolded position. When the fourth protective frame 70 is detachably engaged with the phone case body 10, the fourth protective frame 70 is positioned at the clearance hole 111. When the bracket 71 is in the unfolded position, the bracket 71 extends beyond the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11, providing support for the phone case body 10, essentially functioning as a phone stand 71. If the phone needs to be placed vertically or at an angle on a table, the bracket 71 can be moved to the unfolded position to support the phone case body 10 and maintain the phone's position. When the bracket 71 is in the folded position, the bracket 71 can be close to the side of the fourth protective frame 70 or the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11, or the bracket 71 can maintain a small distance from the side of the fourth protective frame 70 or the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11, to avoid the bracket 71 interfering with the user's grip on the phone case body 10. In this embodiment, the bracket 71 can be rotatably engaged with the fourth protective frame 70, and its installation method is similar to that of the protective cover 62 on the third protective frame 60. Of course, depending on the specific structure of the bracket 71, other suitable movable methods can also be adopted, and this example is not limited to this one. The structure of the fourth protective frame 70 can be based on the first protective frame 40 or the second protective frame 50 with the bracket 71 added.

[0059] Of course, the structure of the lens protective frame 30 is not limited to the structures of the first protective frame 40, the second protective frame 50, the third protective frame 60 and the fourth protective frame 70. Those skilled in the art can also choose other suitable structures based on the teachings of this application.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, a support shell 112 is detachably provided in the receiving groove 11. The support shell 112 can be used to support the phone case body 10, so that the phone case body 10 is not easily deformed during transportation. Especially when the phone case body 10 is made of elastic silicone material, soft rubber material or other materials that are more easily deformed by external force, the support shell 112 can play a better supporting role.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 9 and 10. The lens protection frame 30 can be directly stored in the receiving slot 11 of the phone case body 10, making it convenient for users to install the lens protection frame 30 after receiving the printed phone case body 10. This also facilitates production, packaging, and transportation. Alternatively, the lens protection frame 30 can be stored separately from the phone case body 10 on a customized phone case vending machine. After the phone case body 10 is printed, the user can retrieve the required lens protection frame 30 from the vending machine for installation. In some optional embodiments, the support shell 112 is provided with several storage slots 113, and the lens protection frame 30 is detachably housed in the storage slots 113. This allows users to easily remove the lens protection frame 30 from the storage slots 113 of the support shell 112 after receiving the phone case body 10, and then install the lens protection frame 30 onto the phone case body 10. When the user needs to insert the phone into the receiving slot 11, they only need to remove the support shell 112 from the receiving slot 11. In this embodiment, the support shell 112 is provided with a plurality of storage slots 113, each of which corresponds to a lens protection frame 30. After the user receives the phone case body 10, he / she can select a suitable lens protection frame 30 to install on the phone case body 10 according to his / her needs. The support shell 112 is also convenient to store the lens protection frame 30 that is not installed after it is taken out, so that the user can replace different lens protection frames 30 at any time according to his / her needs.

[0062] Referring to Figure 11, in some optional embodiments, the lens protective frame 30 is provided with a slot 31, and a latching portion 1111 extending circumferentially along the clearance hole 111 is provided in the clearance hole 111. The slot 31 and the latching portion 1111 engage to allow the lens protective frame 30 to be detachably fitted to the phone case body 10. In this embodiment, the first protective frame 40, the second protective frame 50, the third protective frame 60, and the fourth protective frame 70 are all provided with slots 31.

[0063] Of course, the assembly method of the lens protective frame 30 and the mobile phone case body 10 is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can also choose other suitable structures based on the teachings of this application. For example, a groove is provided in the clearance hole 111, and the lens protective frame 30 is engaged with the groove; or, the lens protective frame 30 is inserted into the clearance hole 111, so that the lens protective frame 30 and the clearance hole 111 are interference fit.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, a first positioning groove 12 is also provided on the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11, surrounding the clearance hole 111. The lens protection frame 30 is positioned and engaged with the first positioning groove 12, thereby improving the structural stability of the lens protection frame 30 and preventing the lens protection frame 30 from shifting relative to the phone case body 10. Moreover, designing the first positioning groove 12 around the clearance hole 111 as a recessed design helps to prevent the edge of the clearance hole 111 from protruding due to manufacturing reasons, which would cause the edge of the clearance hole 111 to be higher than the printing surface 21 during printing.

[0065] The printing surface 21 of the printing portion 20 is used to adhere printing ink. The printing portion 20 can be made of suitable materials such as PVC or PC, and can be installed on the phone case body through adhesive or snap-fit ​​structures, or directly integrally formed with the phone case body 10; of course, the printing portion 20 can also be an ink layer directly coated on the phone case body 10. In some optional embodiments, a second positioning groove 13 is also provided on the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11, and the printing portion 20 is adhered to the second positioning groove 13, or the printing portion 20 is snapped into the second positioning groove 13. In this embodiment, the printing portion 20 is adhered to the second positioning groove 13 by an adhesive layer, achieving stable fixation of the printing portion 20, while the second positioning groove 13 can prevent the printing portion 20 from slipping, improving the adhesion stability. The printing portion 20 can also be installed in the second positioning groove 13 by snap-fit. For example, the printing portion 20 and the second positioning groove 13 are interference-fitted, or the inner side of the second positioning groove 13 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the printing portion 20 is snap-fitted into the snap-fit ​​groove, thereby facilitating the installation and replacement of the printing portion 20. Of course, the installation method of the printing portion 20 is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art can also choose other suitable installation methods based on the teachings of this application. For example, the printing portion 20 can be integrally injection molded with the mobile phone case body 10.

[0066] In some optional embodiments, a mounting groove 14 is also provided on the side of the phone case body 10 away from the receiving groove 11. A magnetic component 15 is disposed in the mounting groove 14, and the printing portion 20 covers the mounting groove 14 and the magnetic component 15. The magnetic component 15 can be a magnet, iron, etc. When wireless charging is required, the magnetic component 15 facilitates the magnetic attraction between the phone case body 10 and the charging device. Moreover, during the storage and transportation of the phone case body 10, it can also be magnetically attracted and grasped. In this embodiment, the mounting groove 14 is disposed in the second positioning groove 13.
