The electronic devices are more fashionable and beautiful.

The connecting structure includes a plurality of grooves 202 disposed on the back cover 20, a plurality of first through holes 3021 disposed on the protective cover 30, and a snap connector 40. In this embodiment, the snap connector 40 has a shape that cooperates with the back cover 20, and when assembled to the back cover 20, the snap connector 40 forms a complete back cover with the back cover 20. The structure is adapted to be compatible with other parts of the electronic device 100. In this embodiment, a side of the latching connector 40 facing away from the rear cover 20 is provided at a position away from the rear cover 20 at a plurality of latching positions 401 for engaging with other parts of the electronic device 100. . Referring to FIG. 3 , a side of the latching connector 40 facing the back cover corresponding to the recess 202 on the back cover 20 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 402 respectively engaged with the plurality of recesses 202 .

When assembling, firstly, one end of the connecting portion 302 of the protective sleeve 30 is provided with one end of the first through hole 3021 and the side of the rear cover 20 having the notch 201, and each groove 202 on the back cover 20 is respectively It is aligned with each of the first through holes 3021 of the protective cover 30. In the embodiment, the connecting structure further includes a double-sided strip 50, and the protective cover 30 is attached to the back cover 20 through the double-sided strip 50, and the double-sided strip 50 corresponds to the back cover 20. The groove 202 is formed with a plurality of second through holes 501. The splicing connector 40 is attached to the protective sleeve 30. The plurality of protrusions 402 pass through the first through hole 3021 and the second through hole 501, respectively, and are respectively tightly clamped into the corresponding recesses. In the groove 202, the protective cover 30 is fixed to the back cover 20. In this embodiment, the groove 202 and the protrusion 402 can also be fixed together by ultrasonic welding or hot-melt welding.

In other embodiments, the recess 202 can be disposed on the snap connector 40. Accordingly, the protrusion 402 can be disposed on the back cover 20.

The utility model adopts a connecting structure to firmly fix the protective sleeve on the back cover of the electronic device, thereby strengthening the overall resistance of the electronic device against external force damage, and the design is more in line with the ergonomic principle, and can effectively enhance the use feeling of the protective cover. To meet the needs of the market.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention, as long as the above embodiments are within the spirit of the present invention.
