Abstract

The present invention relates to an electronic-device protective shell including a shell body provided with an accommodating chamber and a camera hole in communication with the accommodating chamber. The accommodating chamber is used for accommodating an electronic device, and the camera hole is used for exposing a camera of the electronic device. A support member is disposed on an outer surface of the shell body, and the support member includes a bracket plate and a camera cover. The bracket plate is rotatably connected to the shell body, and the camera cover is slidable with respect to the bracket plate to cover or expose the camera hole.

Claims (15)

1. An electronic-device protective shell, comprising: a shell body, wherein the shell body is provided with an accommodating chamber and a camera hole in communication with the accommodating chamber, the accommodating chamber is used for accommodating an electronic device, and the camera hole is used for exposing a camera of the electronic device, wherein

an outer surface of the shell body is connected to a support member, the support member comprises a bracket plate and a camera cover, the bracket plate is rotatably connected to the shell body, and an external dimension of the bracket plate is slightly smaller than that of the shell body; an outer surface of the shell body is provided with a bracket accommodating groove, and when the bracket plate is accommodated in the bracket accommodating groove, an outer surface of the bracket plate is flush with the outer surface of the shell body; and the camera cover is slidable by a push with respect to the bracket plate to cover or expose the camera hole;

wherein the bracket plate is provided with a camera exposure hole, and the camera exposure hole corresponds to the camera hole in position; and

the outer surface of the bracket plate is provided with a U-shaped connecting portion, the camera cover is slidably connected to the U-shaped connecting portion, upper and lower side walls of the U-shaped connecting portion are each provided with a guide groove, and left and right ends of the guide groove are each provided with a limit protruding block; and upper and lower sides of the camera cover are each provided with a flange, left and right ends of the flange are each provided with a notch, the flange is inserted into the guide groove, and the notch is configured to accommodate the limit protruding block.

2. The electronic-device protective shell according to claim 1 , wherein the limit protruding block is a semi-circular protrusion, and the notch is a semi-circular groove.

3. The electronic-device protective shell according to claim 1 , wherein a side shell body is provided with a receiving chamber, and a stylus is able to be placed in the receiving chamber on the side shell body.

4. The electronic-device protective shell according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is a foldable screen phone, the foldable screen phone comprises an upper folded portion comprising a first screen and a lower folded portion comprising a second screen, the upper folded portion is connected to the lower folded portion via a hinge, and the shell body is configured to accommodate the lower folded portion of the foldable screen phone; and the protective shell further comprises a front protective shell and a side shell body, wherein

the front protective shell is configured to accommodate the upper folded portion of the foldable screen phone, and the front protective shell is provided with a hollow window; and
