The technical problem that the present application will solve is that a holder is arranged on an outer surface of a protective case in the prior art, which leads to easy damage of the holder and ugliness. The technical solution provided by the present application is to provide a protective case has an accommodating recess, wherein a holder can be telescopably arranged in the accommodating recess. As the holder is arranged in the accommodating recess, the holder can avoid damage resulting from collisions and the protective case can be more beautiful.
To make the technical feature, objective and effect of the present application be understood more clearly, now the specific implementation of the present application is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
First EmbodimentAs shown in
The protective case comprises a case body 1 configured for accommodating a smart device. Specifically, an accommodating space is formed in the case body 1 for accommodating the smart device.
Moreover, in
In the embodiment, in
Furthermore, in
As shown in
The spring 3 can be replaced by a torsional spring and a compressed spring. In additions, the spring 3 can be V-shaped, W-shaped, N-shaped, M-shaped, L-shaped, Z-shaped or circular arc-shaped, etc.
Because the spring 3 is fold line shaped or curved, and when the sliding panel 21 is entirely accommodated in the accommodating recess 11, the guiding rail 111 and the connecting line between two end portions of the spring 3 cooperatively form an acute angle α, the spring 3 compresses the sliding panel 21 to make the sliding panel 21 be entirely accommodated in the accommodating recess 11 all the time, as shown in
When the sliding panel 21 is out of the opening 110, the guiding rail 111 and the connecting line between two end portions of the spring 3 cooperatively form an obtuse angle, and the sliding panel 21 will be kept in a state that the sliding panel 21 is out of the opening 110 under the action of the spring 3, as shown in
For convenience to mount the spring 3, in the embodiment, as shown in
The first fixing element 112 on the bottom of the accommodating recess 11 and the second fixing element on the sliding panel 21 easily cause a problem that the sliding panel 21 slides not smoothly. To avoid this problem, a gap 212 is defined in a position of the sliding panel 21 that is facing the first fixing element 112; and a limiting recess 113 is defined in a position of the bottom of the accommodating recess 11 that is facing the second fixing element, and the second fixing element is located in the limiting recess 113; and the first fixing element 112 is located in the gap 212. The limiting recess 113 not only has a function of accommodating the second fixing element, but also has a function of limiting the second fixing element to prevent separation between the holder 2 and the case body 1.
Furthermore, in
Specifically, in
The holder 2 further a compressed spring 8; and the compressed spring 8 is mounted on the rotation shaft 6, and is located between the first shaft sleeve 210 and the second shaft sleeve 50 to compress the hinge body 5. The compressed spring 8 increases friction force of the hinge body 5 rotating relative to the sliding panel 21, so that the hinge body can be in paralysis, no matter what angle the hinge body and the sliding panel 21 form.
In order to further increase friction force, a gasket 7 is arranged between the compressed spring 8 and the first shaft sleeve 210, and a gasket 7 is arranged between the compressed spring 8 and the second shaft sleeve 50. In the embodiment, the number of compressed springs 8 is two, and two compressed springs 8 are located on two sides of the second shaft sleeve 50. Accordingly, the number of gaskets 7 is four.
In
Furthermore, in
Then, when the hinge body 5 rotates relative to the sliding panel 21 at an angle, the resetting elastic flake 211 will get off the resetting recess 61, and abut against the rotation shaft 6; and the resetting elastic flake 211 will be bent, as shown in
When the hinge body 5 in a state as shown in
The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the shape of the rotation shaft 6 and the connecting relationship between the resetting elastic flake 211 and the rotation shaft 6.
In the embodiment, as shown in
When the hinge body 5 fits the sliding panel 21 closely, the resetting elastic flake 211 extends into the through-hole 501 of the second shaft sleeve 50, and the resetting elastic flake 211 and the rotation shaft 6 are spaced, as shown in
Then, when the hinge body 5 rotates relative to the sliding panel 21 at an angle, the resetting elastic flake 211 will get off the through-hole 501, and abut against the second shaft sleeve 50, as shown in
When the hinge body 5 rotates towards the sliding panel 21 slowly to make the hinge body 5 and the sliding panel 21 form an angle as shown in
The protective case of the present application has the accommodating recess, and has the holder telescopably arranged in the accommodating recess; and as the holder is arranged in the accommodating recess, the holder can avoid damage resulting from collisions and the protective case can be more beautiful. The protective case of the present application further adopts the spring to connect the holder and the case body, so that the holder can be pushed out quickly when the holder is pulled out a certain distance. The protective case of the present application further adopts the resetting elastic flake, so that the sliding panel can fit the hinge body closely. The protective case of the application has a dual function in protecting and holding the smart device, and has beauty and practicability.
