Fig. 1-2 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention, which is an electronic device protection case, comprising a case 10 and a bracket assembly 20 connected to the case 10. The illustrated rack assembly 20 includes a collapsed configuration (as shown in fig. 1) in which the rack assembly 20 is embedded in the housing 10 for easy grasping by a user, and an expanded configuration; in the unfolded state (as shown in fig. 2), the bracket assembly 20 extends outwards relative to the shell 10 to integrally form a triangular support, so that the electronic device can be placed on supports such as a desktop at a certain inclination angle, a user can watch a screen conveniently, the hands of the user can be liberated, and the use requirements of the user in various aspects are met.

Referring to fig. 3, the housing 10 has a receiving groove 12 formed on a back surface (i.e., a side surface facing away from the electronic device) thereof for receiving the bracket assembly 20. The receiving groove 12 is substantially square, the length direction of the receiving groove 12 is the same as the width direction of the housing 10, and the long side of the housing 10 is placed on the table top in a supporting state. The receiving groove 12 has two opposite sides, such as two long sides, of the groove wall to form a locking strip 14. Correspondingly, the bracket assembly 20 is concavely formed with clamping grooves 22 at two opposite sides thereof, and the bracket assembly 20 is detachably connected to the housing 10 through the concave-convex matching of the clamping grooves 22 and the clamping strips 14.

Fig. 4-10 illustrate an embodiment of the present invention of a bracket assembly 20, the bracket assembly 20 including a first support member 24, a second support member 26, and a shaft 28 connecting the first support member 24 and the second support member 26.

The rotation shaft 28 is preferably a unitary structure including a first connection section 281 and two second connection sections 283 formed at both ends of the first connection section 281, respectively. The first connecting section 281 is rotatably connected to the first support 24, and the second connecting section 283 is fixedly connected to the second support 26, so that the second support 26 and the rotating shaft 28 can rotate synchronously relative to the first support 24.

Referring to fig. 4, 5 and 6, the first connecting section 281 of the shaft 28 is a bent structure deviating from the axis of the second supporting member 26/the shaft 28 rotating relative to the first supporting member 24. During the process of turning the second support 26 outward, the first connecting section 281 of the rotating shaft 28 rotates with respect to the rotating shaft center to form a displacement in the first support 24, and after the rotation stops, the first connecting section 281 forms a damping fit with the first support 24, so that the second support 26 can be automatically positioned at the rotated angle to keep the rack assembly 20 in the unfolded state. When the user needs to adjust the supporting angle or needs to switch the rack assembly 20 back to the folded state, the acting force is applied to the second supporting member 26 to overcome the frictional resistance between the first connecting section 281 and the first supporting member 24, so that the second supporting member 26 can rotate again, and the structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

In this embodiment, the first connecting section 281 of the rotating shaft 28 is a broken line section, and is composed of a plurality of sequentially connected straight line sections, and two adjacent straight line sections form an included angle, and the whole structure is bent. Specifically, the first connecting section 281 includes a middle first straight line segment 285 and two second straight line segments 286 extending from both ends of the first straight line segment 285, respectively, and the two second straight line segments 286 are connected to the two second connecting sections 283, respectively.

It should be understood that the second straight segment 286 may have other connection angles with the first straight segment 285 and the second connection segment 283, as long as the connection angles are not on a straight line.

In this embodiment, the first connecting section 281 of the rotating shaft 28 is formed by a plurality of straight line segments connected in sequence, such that it deviates from the rotating axes of the second supporting member 26 and the first supporting member 24, and can form displacement in the first supporting member 24 during the rotating process, so as to form a damping fit with the first supporting member 24 after rotating, and maintain the second supporting member 26 in the rotated state by using friction force, so as to maintain the rack assembly 20 at a predetermined supporting angle. It should be understood that the first connecting section 281 of the rotating shaft 28 may be formed by more straight line segments, such as four, five straight line segments, etc.; alternatively, the first connecting section 281 may be formed by a single or a plurality of arc segments, as long as it can deviate from the rotation axis of the second supporting member 26 and the first supporting member 24, and is not limited to the specific embodiment.

Preferably, the first reinforcing plate 243 further has a positioning hole 247 formed therein, and the positioning hole 247 penetrates through the first pivot portion 245 in the thickness direction and communicates with the first pivot hole 246. When the bracket assembly 20 is in the unfolded state, the first straight line segment 285 of the rotating shaft 28 is partially snapped into the positioning hole 247 to form a limit, so that the rotating shaft 28 can be stabilized in the unfolded state. Since the first pivot hole 246 is formed by curling, it is non-closed in the circumferential direction, so that the first connecting section 281 can spread the first pivot hole 246 and finally enter the positioning hole 247 during the rotation process, thereby reducing the wear during the rotation process.
