Description

protective device

The present invention refers to a protection device for covering an electronic device, and more particularly to a protection device that can provide multiple connections of an electronic device to connect an external device.

With the development of information and communication technologies, portable electronic devices, such as mobile phones, smart phones, tablets, e-books, etc., have become an indispensable part of people's lives or work. Therefore, manufacturers of portable electronic devices, in addition to constantly innovating in performance or function, also pursue the uniqueness or artistry of appearance as much as possible. However, in order to provide users with high-quality audio and video effects, the current portable electronic device sets a multi-channel speaker and removes the earphone hole, so that the user cannot connect two or more ports at the same time to operate the portable electronic device. . Under this circumstance, how to design a portable electronic device protection device and increase the connection port of the portable electronic device has become one of the goals of the industry.

Therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a protection device that can protect a portable electronic device and can provide connection between the electronic device and a plurality of external devices.

The present invention discloses a protection device including a protective case, including a frame and a back plate for covering an electronic device, and a switching device detachably coupled to the protective case and After the protective shell is combined, the electronic device is coupled to the at least one external device.

Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 9 . FIG. 1 is a schematic overall view of a protection device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the protection device 1 of the present embodiment. FIG. 3 to FIG. A schematic diagram of each perspective of the protection device 1 of the authoring embodiment. The protection device 1 is used to protect an electronic device and has the function of interface transfer or expansion.

Portable electronic products are not limited to this.

In detail, the protective case 10 is formed with an accommodating space for covering and protecting the normal use of the electronic device. The protective casing 10 includes an outer frame 102 and a back plate 104. The bottom edge of the outer frame 102 is provided with a plurality of through holes BL corresponding to at least one connection interface to facilitate connection of information equipment such as a charging device or a computer. The backing plate 104 can be a transparent material that includes at least one through hole to expose one of the components of the electronic device, such as a camera lens or a brand name. Of course, in accordance with the size and function requirements of the various types of electronic devices, the outer frame 102 can be provided with different recesses and/or through holes, so that the electronic device can perform a photographing operation, a transfer operation, a heat dissipation operation, or A power supply opening and closing operation, etc., belong to the scope of this creation. In addition, the material of the outer frame 102 can be suitably selected from a metal soft material, a double layer or a multi-layer structure, and at the same time, a hard material (such as metal, hard plastic) and a soft material (such as rubber or silicone) are used to absorb or buffer properly. The external impact force, at the same time, allows the outer frame 102 to closely fit the electronic device to enhance the protection of the electronic device.

In addition, the switching device 20 in the present embodiment includes a housing 202 and a switching module 204, wherein the housing 202 corresponds to a portion of the outer frame 102 of the protective housing 10 to allow the switching device 20 The card is fixed to the outer frame 102. The adapter module 204 includes a connector TH and at least one connection interface BI. The connector TH is connected to the electronic device, and the connection interface BI is coupled to the at least one external device. In addition, the housing 202 further includes at least one through hole corresponding to one of the sound reinforcement device or the sound receiving device of the electronic device, so that the electronic device and the protection device 1 are combined without affecting the normal operation of the speaker and the microphone of the electronic device. . In this embodiment, the connection head TH can be a lightning bolt, and the connection interface BI can be a lightning bolt and a 3.5mm sound source hole, but not limited thereto. Therefore, when the adapter device 20 is combined with the protective casing 10, the connector TH of the switching device 20 is connected to the connector of the electronic device, and the electronic device that originally only provides a single port is transmitted through the adapter device 20 to provide various Different connections埠. For example, the electronic device can be connected to an external power supply device (not shown) via a lightning connection of the transmission device 20 to charge the electronic device or transmit data to and from the computer device. The 3.5 mm source hole of device 20 is connected to the earphone. It should be noted that the protective case 10 of the protection device 1 and the adapter device 20 can form an integral structure with the electronic device, and the user does not need to carry the adapter device separately, that is, the adapter device 20 in the present embodiment. The detachable connection with the protective case 10 allows the user to connect the electronic device to a plurality of external electronic devices to improve the convenience of use.

Regarding the manner of combining the protective case 10 of the protective device 1 and the switching device 20, please refer to FIGS. 2 to 9. As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom of the outer frame 102 of the protective casing 10 has at least one through hole BL corresponding to the connection interface BI of the casing 202 of the adapter device 20, that is, the position of the connection interface BI aligned with the penetration hole BL. At the same time, the adapter device 20 is also fastened to the outer frame 102, thereby completing the preparation operation before the protective casing 10 and the adapter device 20 are combined. Of course, in other embodiments, those skilled in the art may also add other locking methods to enhance the combination of the protective casing 10 and the adapter device 20, for example, through the mechanism design to add appropriate hook fixing components, and fix Where the protective casing 10 and the adapter device 20 are connected to each other (for example, the outer casing 102 of the protective casing 10 and the casing 202 of the adapter device 20), or the adapter device 20 is mounted on the back plate 104 of the protective casing 10, All belong to the scope of this creation.

In addition, in conjunction with the user's personal preference, the back panel 104 in the present embodiment may also be provided with patterns and patterns of different elements or visual effects, or may be provided with other specific patterns or functional holes in other parts. The visual attractiveness of the protection device 1 is increased, or the power storage module can be combined with the switching device 20, so that when the electronic device is combined with the switching device 20, charging can be performed to enhance the user's Convenience. The above variant embodiments are all within the scope of this creation.

In summary, the protection device of the present invention allows the protective case and the adapter device to be integrated into a one-piece protection device through a detachable manner, which is beneficial to the user on the one hand and the electronic device on the other hand. The external device is connected.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made by the scope of the patent application of the present invention should be covered by the present invention.
