The present disclosure belongs to the field of protective cases, and in particular, to a turntable structure and an electronic product protective case using same.
With the popularization of electronic products, people cannot do without the assistance of electronic products in their daily lives, such as watching movies, playing games, and ordering takeout. Therefore, use scenarios of the electronic products are complex and changeable. Furthermore, as people pay more and more attention to electronic products and use electronic products more and more frequently, functions of an electronic product protective case should also increase.
At present, most of the existing electronic product protective cases are provided with ferrules on back portions to prevent accidental slipping of electronic products. However, the entire ferrule device cannot be rotated, so a user needs to use the electronic product within a specified angle range. When a user intends to flip a screen or use the electronic product beyond the specified angle range, it is hard for the electronic product protective case to meet a traveling requirement of the user.
The present disclosure mainly aims to provide a turntable structure and an electronic product protective case using same, to add use scenarios and enlarge an application range to meet a daily traveling requirement of a user.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the technical solutions of the present disclosure are as follows:
A turntable structure includes a base plate and a handheld ring arranged on an outer side of the base plate; one end of the handheld ring is hinged to the base plate; a first groove convenient for opening the handheld ring is arranged at the other end of the handheld ring; several clamping portions for fixing are arranged along an edge of the base plate at intervals; the clamping portions include recesses arranged along the edge of the base plate and buckling rods arranged in the recesses; one end of each buckling rod is fixedly connected to a side wall of each recess, and a protrusion is arranged at the other end of the buckling rod; and a rebound clearance for allowing the protrusion to swing is arranged between the buckling rods and the base plate.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a first gasket is arranged between the base plate and the handheld ring; and the first gasket is detachably connected to the base plate.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, several second grooves configured to accommodate the clamping portions are arranged on one side, corresponding to the base plate, of the first gasket at intervals.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a first through hole is arranged at one end of the base plate; a connecting portion is arranged in the first through hole and the connecting portion includes a first rotating sheet and a second rotating sheet which are separately arranged on two sides of the first gasket.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, second gaskets are separately arranged on one side of the first rotating sheet away from the first gasket and one side of the second rotating sheet away from the first gasket.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a second through hole convenient for carrying is further arranged in a center of the handheld ring.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a cambered surface convenient for sliding is arranged on one side of each protrusion away from the base plate.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic product protective case includes the turntable structure, and further includes a protective shell, wherein the protective shell is provided with a mounting hole at a position corresponding to the base plate; and several first grooves configured to clamp the protrusions are arranged along an edge of the mounting hole at intervals.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, when the base plate is rotated, the protrusions are shifted towards the rebound clearance under the action of a side wall of the mounting hole; and after the rotation of the base plate is completed, the protrusions rebound to initial positions and are clamped to the corresponding first grooves.
In a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, a limiting plate configured to limit movement of the base plate is arranged in the mounting hole.
One of the above technical solutions of the present disclosure at least has one of the following advantages or beneficial effects:
According to the present disclosure, the several clamping portions are arranged along the edge of the base plate at intervals; one end of each buckling rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of each recess, and the protrusion is arranged at the other end of the buckling rod; and the rebound clearance for allowing the protrusion to swing is arranged between the buckling rods and the base plate. Therefore, when a user needs to flip a screen or use an electronic product beyond a specific angle range, the user can rotate the base plate to shift the protrusion towards the rebound clearance to cooperate with the rotation. Meanwhile, after the rotation of the base plate is completed, the protrusion rebounds to an initial position for being locked, thereby adding use scenarios and enlarge an application range of the present disclosure to meet a daily traveling requirement of a user.
