In other words, the two end portions 21 are symmetrical to the middle portion 22, and an accommodating space is provided between the end portions 21 and the middle portion 22 for accommodating one side of the device body 1 therein. In the embodiment, the thickness of the end portion 21 is greater than that of the middle portion 22 to enhance the protection effect of the four corners of the device body 1, but not limited thereto.
In the embodiment, the two shells 2 are respectively sleeved on the short sides of the two sides of the device body 1, and the extending portions 32 of the two connecting members 3 are respectively attached to the long sides of the two sides of the device body 1, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the housing 2 is respectively sleeved on the long sides of the device body 1. In other embodiments, the six surfaces of the device body 1 include two opposite square surfaces, and the housing 2 is respectively sleeved on the two opposite sides of the square surfaces. In this embodiment, the device body 1 further includes a slot 11 disposed on a short side of one side of the device body 1. The housing 2 also contains an opening 23. The opening 23 is formed at least in the intermediate portion 22, so that the slot 11 is prevented from being covered.
In the present embodiment, the housing 2 is integrally formed by an elastic material such as but not limited to rubber, but not limited thereto. The housing 2 may be made of at least one of metal, plastic, and rubber, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the middle portion 22 of the housing 2 is made of rubber and thus elastically deformable, while the end portions 21 are made of metal or plastic. In the present embodiment, the connecting member 3 may be integrally formed by an elastic material such as, but not limited to, rubber. The connecting member 3 may also be made of at least one of metal, plastic and rubber, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the extension portion 32 of the connecting member 3 is made of rubber and thus can be elastically deformed, and the positioning portion 31 is made of metal or plastic. Therefore, the anti-collision effect of the storage device can be achieved through the light and elastic combined structure.
Please refer to fig. 2 and fig. 3. Fig. 3 discloses a side view of the structure of the connection piece shown in fig. 2. In the present embodiment, a width W1 of the positioning portion 31 is greater than a width W2 of the extending portion 32. The positioning portion 31 of the connecting member 3 is substantially tongue-shaped, i.e. a thin plate, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the positioning portion 31 is substantially cylindrical or conical. In the present embodiment, the end portion 21 of the housing 2 further includes a positioning structure 211, and the positioning portion 31 of the connecting member 3 is connected to the positioning structure 211. In the present embodiment, the positioning structure 211 is a groove, and the contour substantially matches with the positioning portion 31 of the connecting element 3, so that the positioning portion 31 of the connecting element 3 is embedded therein, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the positioning structure 211 is a convex portion, and the positioning portion 31 of the connecting element 3 has a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion, so as to connect the housing 2 and the connecting element 3.
Please refer to fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 4. Fig. 4 discloses a structural top view of the housing shown in fig. 2. In the present embodiment, the end portion 21 of the housing 2 further includes a through hole 212. The width W3 of the through hole 212 is between the width W1 of the positioning portion 31 of the connecting member 3 and the width W2 of the extending portion 32, and one end thereof can communicate with the positioning structure 211, for example but not limited thereto. The extending portion 32 of the connecting member 3 is disposed through the through hole 212 of the end portion 21 of the two shells 2, and the two positioning portions 31 are respectively disposed at one end of the through hole 212 and are connected and fixed with the positioning structure 211, but not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the width W1 of the positioning portion 31, the width W2 of the extending portion 32, and the width W3 of the through hole 212 are configured, so that the housing 2 and the connecting member 3 can be assembled with each other only through the through hole 212. In addition, in an embodiment in which the connecting member 3 is integrally formed by rubber, the extending portion 32 of the connecting member 3 can be directly inserted into the through hole 212 by pressing the positioning portion 31 of the connecting member 3. It is to be emphasized that when the housing 2 and the connecting member 3 are combined with the apparatus body 1 to stretch the extending portion 32, the connecting member 3 is prevented from being separated from the end portion of the housing 2 by the elastic force of the extending portion 32 by the through hole 212 of the end portion 21, so that the connection between the housing 2 and the connecting member 3 can be further secured.
In the present embodiment, the opening 23 of the housing 2 is formed in the middle portion 22 and the two end portions 21, and is communicated with the accommodating space between the end portions 21 and the middle portion 22. The end 21 of the housing 2 also contains a through slot 213. The through slot 213 is connected between the through hole 212 and the opening 23, and has a width W4 slightly smaller than the width W3 of the through hole, but not limited thereto. Therefore, regardless of the material of the positioning portion 31 of the connector 3, the extending portion 32 can be disposed in the through hole 212 through the opening 23 and the through groove 213. Furthermore, the housing 2 and the connecting member 3 can be quickly and conveniently assembled and fixed to each other, and can be conveniently replaced individually to form different storage device compositions and appearances according to different anti-collision requirements.
It is worth emphasizing that the utility model further provides a protective shell module configured to be sleeved on an electronic device. The protective housing module comprises two housings 2 as described above and two connecting pieces 3 as described above. In detail, two housings 2 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the electronic device, and each housing 2 includes two end portions 21 and a middle portion 22. The two end portions 21 are respectively disposed at two corners of the electronic device. The intermediate portion 22 is connected between the two end portions 21. The two connecting members 3 are connected between the two housings 2, and each connecting member 3 includes two positioning portions 31 and an extending portion 32. The two positioning portions 31 are connected to the two end portions 21 of the housing 2, respectively. The extension portion 32 is elastically deformable and connected between the two positioning portions 31. As described in the previous paragraphs, in the present embodiment, the housing 2 may be integrally formed by an elastic material, but not limited thereto. Therefore, the protection case module of the present invention can be flexibly assembled to electronic devices of different sizes by the elasticity of the housing 2 and the connecting member 3, and the cost of individually designing the protection case according to the outline of the electronic device can be saved.
In summary, the present invention provides a storage device and a protective case module thereof, which reduce the overall thickness and weight of the storage device through a combined structural design, and further achieve the effect of facilitating the quick assembly and disassembly of the case and the connecting member to change the overall appearance of the storage device. In addition, through the shell and the connecting piece which can be elastically deformed, the protective shell module can be favorably applied to electronic devices with different sizes, and the effect of saving the design cost of the protective shell is achieved.
