Detailed Description

For the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments of the present application and corresponding drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without undue burden from the present disclosure, are within the scope of the present disclosure.

The following describes in detail the technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In related endoscope systems, the endoscope, host and display need to be connected by cables to achieve power and communication interaction. The interface of the host and the display is provided with a protective cover, and the protective cover can seal the interface area so as to prevent the interface from being polluted.

The inventor found that the protection cover of the related art is rotationally matched with the shell of the interface region by arranging the pivot shaft at one side edge of the protection cover, and the protection cover is switched between the open state and the closed state by rotating, so that in order to ensure that the protection cover can smoothly rotate, a rotating gap needs to be reserved between the edge of the protection cover provided with the pivot shaft and the shell, and therefore, even if the protection cover is in the closed state, external impurities can still enter the interface region through the rotating gap to be polluted.

In this regard, embodiments of the present application provide a protective cover for an electronic device for protecting an interface of the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 1 to 10, a protective cover 200 disclosed in an embodiment of the present application includes a cover body 210 and a pivot arm 220, wherein:

the cover 210 is a structure of the protective cover 200 for blocking an interface area of the electronic device, and as shown in fig. 1, it can correspondingly block the opening 110 (the opening 110 corresponds to the interface area) of the electronic device housing 100 to prevent foreign objects from contaminating the interface 300; meanwhile, as shown in fig. 2, the cover 210 can be also prevented from exposing the interface 300 beyond the opening 110, so that a connection operation can be performed at the interface 300, for example, a patch cable connected to an endoscope is connected to a host or a display.

The protective cover 200 can perform a rotational motion by the pivot arm 220, thereby adjusting the spatial position of the cover 210.

In the embodiment of the present application, the pivot arm 220 includes a first connecting arm 221 and a second connecting arm 222 that are connected, one end of the first connecting arm 221 facing away from the second connecting arm 222 is provided with a pivot portion 221a for rotating connection, one end of the second connecting arm 222 facing away from the first connecting arm 221 is connected with the cover 210, and a preset included angle α is formed between the first connecting arm 221 and the second connecting arm 222.

Specifically, the protection cover 200 is engaged with the pivot portion 221a of the pivot arm 220 by a rotation fit in the electronic device, that is, the pivot portion 221a may serve as a rotation center, and the cover 210 rotates around the pivot portion 221 a. It should be appreciated that the spacing of the various portions of the protective cover 200 from the pivot portion 221a can generally characterize the radius of gyration of that portion as it rotates. In this case, as shown in fig. 6, the pivot portion 221a is spaced from the cover 210, so that in order to ensure that the cover 210 can seal the opening 110 of the housing 100, the pivot portion 221a needs to be assembled inside the housing 100 of the electronic device, that is, the pivot portion 221a and the rotating fit structure of the electronic device are both located inside the housing 100, so that the situation that the pivot is located at the edge of the protection cover 200 and a rotating gap is reserved between the protection cover 200 and the housing 100 in the related art is avoided, and thus the risk of contamination of the interface 300 is effectively reduced.

Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, since the first connecting arm 221 and the second connecting arm 222 form the predetermined angle α, which corresponds to bending the first connecting arm 221 and the second connecting arm 222, the first connecting arm 221 and the second connecting arm 222 have a certain extension length, and a first avoiding space S is formed among the first connecting arm 221, the second connecting arm 222 and the cover 210. As shown in fig. 6 and 7, during the rotation of the protection cover 200 from the closed state to the open state, the cover 210 can be ensured to extend out of the housing 100 based on the extension length of the first connection arm 221, and the first avoidance space S can accommodate the sidewall of the housing 100 near the opening 110, so that interference between the protection cover 200 and the housing 100 can be avoided, and the protection cover 200 can be smoothly rotated to expose the interface 300.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the cover 210 is provided with a first groove portion 211 corresponding to the pivot portion 221a in the thickness direction of the cover 210, and the first groove portion 211 penetrates along the rotation axis of the pivot portion 221 a. It is understood that the thickness direction of the cover 210 is arranged substantially in the Z-axis direction, and the rotation axis of the pivot portion 221a extends substantially in the Y-axis direction. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate understanding, a spatial coordinate system is constructed in the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, but the directions shown are merely used to represent the relative relationships of the directions, and are not limited to the positional relationships of the structures disclosed in the embodiments of the present application.

With this structural layout, since the first groove portion 211 is disposed corresponding to the pivoting portion 221a, and the first groove portion 211 is a concave structure, the distance between the bottom surface of the groove of the first groove portion 211 and the pivoting portion 221a is obviously greater than the distance between the pivoting portion 221a and the planar layout of the area of the cover 210, so that the second avoiding space is formed on the surface of the cover plate. In this embodiment, there are some protrusions 213 on the electronic device housing 100, and the first groove 211 can avoid the structures of these protrusions 213, so as to realize smooth rotation of the protection cover 200.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the dashed line in fig. 9 shows that the first groove 211 is in a planar layout, so that the dashed line in fig. 9 contacts the junction area J of the two sidewalls of the housing 100 during the rotation of the protective cover 200, and in this case, the cover 210 interferes with the housing 100, which results in the protective cover 200 not rotating smoothly. In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 9, the first groove portion 211 constructs a second avoidance space, which can provide an accommodating space for the junction area J of the side wall of the housing 100 to avoid during the rotation of the protection cover 200, thereby ensuring that the protection cover 200 smoothly rotates and the interface 300 is exposed.

Of course, in addition to the above-described connection area J, the first groove portion 211 of the embodiment of the present application may be used to avoid other protruding portions 213 of the housing 100, such as a control button disposed on the surface of the housing 100, and is not limited to the connection area of the two sidewalls.

In addition, the raised portions 213 of the housing 100 may be chamfered or rounded to further reduce interference of these raised portions 213 with the cover 210 as the protective cover 200 rotates. For example, the joint region J of the housing 100 shown in fig. 8 is rounded.

As shown in fig. 3-5, in some embodiments of the present application, the first groove portion 211 is disposed adjacent to an edge of the cover 210. It should be understood that, as described above, the first groove portion 211 achieves the smooth rotation of the protection cover 200 by avoiding the protrusion 213 of the housing 100, and basically, the above effect is achieved based on the feature that the distance between the pivot portion 221a and the groove bottom surface of the first groove portion 211 is larger than the distance between the pivot portion 221a and the protrusion 213 of the housing 100.

Referring to fig. 8 again, in this embodiment, since the pivot portion 221a is disposed corresponding to the first groove portion 211, the pivot portion 221a is disposed adjacent to the edge of the opening 110 of the housing 100, and since the edge of the cover 210 necessarily corresponds to the edge of the opening 110, the distance between the pivot portion 221a and the junction area J is smaller, and the first groove portion 211 can be smoothly avoided only by setting a smaller depth. In other layout schemes of the first groove portion 211 on the cover 210, taking an example that the first groove portion 211 is disposed in the middle of the cover 210, the pivot portion 221a is also disposed corresponding to the middle of the cover 210, and then the distance between the pivot portion 221a and the junction area J is greater, so that the first groove portion 211 needs to be disposed with a greater depth to avoid smoothly.

In comparison, since the first groove portion 211 of the embodiment is disposed adjacent to the edge of the cover 210, the grooving depth of the first groove portion 211 is smaller, the processing is simple, and the grooving requirement of the first groove portion 211 is not required to be adapted by thickening the cover 210, i.e. the difficulty of structural design is reduced.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the cover 210 further includes a protrusion 213 located at the same end face as the first groove portion 211, and the protrusion 213 is provided at an edge adjacent to the first groove portion 211. It should be understood that the protruding direction of the protrusion 213 is opposite to the recessed direction of the first groove portion 211, and the dotted line shown in fig. 5 indicates the contour of the cover 210 if it is in a planar layout, and the protrusion 213 protrudes from the planar contour.

Referring to fig. 8 again, the protection cover 200 is in a closed state, and two dashed lines are shown as outlines of the cover 210 and the housing 100, and the protrusion 213 can block the gap between the cover 210 and the housing 100 in the height direction (in the X-axis direction) of the protection cover 200, so as to prevent external impurities from entering the interface region through the gap between the cover 210 and the housing 100.

As shown in fig. 5, the protrusion 213 and the first groove 211 may be integrally formed by forming an arc-shaped groove, so that the processing process can be simplified and the processing efficiency can be improved.

As shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connection arm 221 is perpendicular to the second connection arm 222. It can be understood that the preset angle α between the first connecting arm 221 and the second connecting arm 222 is 90 °, and of course, the preset angle α may be other values such as 45 °, 60 °, 80 °, 105 °, 116 °, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific value of the preset angle α, and may be specifically set according to the actual structural layout of the housing 100.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the protection cover 200 includes a reinforcing portion 230, where the reinforcing portion 230 is disposed at least in a partial junction area between the second connecting arm 222 and the cover 210, and is connected to both the second connecting arm 222 and the cover 210. It is understood that the reinforcement 230 can reinforce the strength and rigidity of the protection cover 200 without increasing the size of the protection cover 200, thereby improving the service life of the protection cover 200.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the reinforcement portion 230 is disposed on only one side of the second connecting arm 222, and in other embodiments, the reinforcement portion 230 may be disposed around the entire circumference of the second connecting arm 222 to further strengthen the strength and rigidity of the protection cover 200.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the edge of the cover 210 is provided with a second groove portion 212, the second groove portion 212 being recessed in a direction away from the pivot arm 220. Thus, as shown in fig. 1, when the protection cover 200 is in the closed state, the operator can open and pull the protection cover 200 through the second groove portion 212 to expose the interface 300.

And/or, the side of the cover 210 facing away from the pivot arm 220 is provided with a holding portion, and the operator can also open or close the protective cover 200 by directly applying force to the holding portion.

It is understood that only one of the second groove portion 212 and the grip portion may be provided in the embodiment of the present application, or both may be provided at the same time.

Referring to fig. 1 to 10, the embodiment of the present application further provides an electronic device, including a housing 100 and a protective cover 200 according to any of the foregoing embodiments, where the electronic device includes the beneficial effects of the protective cover 200, and is not described herein again. The electronic device in this embodiment of the present application may be a host, a display, etc. of a medical device, and of course, may be any other electronic device that needs to protect an interface area through the protection cover 200.

The casing 100 has an opening 110 corresponding to the interface 300 of the electronic device, and the pivot portion 221a is rotatably disposed in the casing 100, so that the cover 210 seals or avoids the opening 110. When the interface 300 of the electronic device needs to be externally connected, the protection cover 200 can be rotated by applying force until the cover 210 avoids the opening 110 to expose the interface 300; after the use, the protection cover 200 can be rotated by applying force until the cover 210 seals the opening 110 to protect the interface area, so as to prevent the contamination of the interface area caused by external impurities.

As shown in fig. 1 and 8, in the case where the protective cover 200 is in the closed state, the outer surface of the cover 210 is aligned with the outer surface of the sidewall of the case 100 to enhance the aesthetic appearance.

As shown in fig. 8 and 9, in some embodiments of the present application, the pivot portion 221a is disposed adjacent to a first sidewall of the housing 100, which is a sidewall of the housing 100 opposite to the cover 210 in the opened state of the protective cover 200. It can be understood that the first sidewall refers to a sidewall of the housing 100 located in the first avoidance space S when the protection cap 200 is in the opened state; in fig. 8 and 9, the first side wall is located on the lower side of the pivot portion.

In this arrangement, the pivot portion 221a is disposed adjacent to the first sidewall of the housing 100 as the rotation center of the protection cover 200, so that the distance between the pivot portion 221a and the junction area J between the first sidewall and the sidewall of the opening 110 can be effectively reduced, and the avoidance requirement of the cover 210 on the junction area J can be reduced. Specifically, in the embodiment of the protective cover 200 in which the first groove portion 211 is not provided, the gap between the cover 210 and the housing 100 can be reduced; in the embodiment of the protective cover 200 provided with the first groove portion 211, the card groove depth requirement of the first groove portion 211 can be reduced.

As shown in fig. 6 to 10, the electronic apparatus further includes a support 400 for providing rotational support to the pivoting portion 221a, and the support 400 is detachably disposed in the housing 100 so as to be easily disassembled.

Specifically, one end of the support 400 is provided with a mating portion 410, one of the pivot portion 221a and the mating portion 410 may be in plug-in fit with the other, and the two are in limit fit in the circumferential direction. It can be understood that the plug-in matching relationship is convenient for realizing assembly, and can improve the assembly efficiency. The pivot portion 221a may be provided with a positioning hole 221a1, and the engaging portion 410 is positioned and engaged in the positioning hole 221a1 to be limited in the circumferential direction, so as to rotate the pivot arm 220 by rotating the engaging portion 410. As shown in fig. 8 and 9, the positioning hole 221a1 may be a square hole, and the fitting portion 410 is an octagon.

Further, as shown in fig. 10, the support 400 further includes a main body 420, the engaging portion 410 is rotatably engaged with the main body 420, the housing 100 is provided with a receiving groove 120, and the main body 420 is disposed in the receiving groove 120 and is in limit engagement with the housing 100 in the circumferential direction. It will be appreciated that since the body portion 420 is in a circumferentially limited engagement with the housing 100, it can be reliably rotated relative to the engagement portion 410, thereby allowing rotation of the pivot arm 220 and thus the protective cover 200. Specifically, the main body 420 may be a square body, and accordingly, the accommodating groove 120 is a square groove.

As shown in fig. 10, the electronic device may include a limiting plate 500, and the limiting plate 500 is installed at the upper opening 110 of the receiving groove 120 to limit the stopper support 400.

In other embodiments, the support 400 may be rotatably disposed with a pivot shaft within the housing 100, with the pivot portion 221a being axially rotatably engaged with the pivot shaft.

The embodiment of the application also provides an endoscope system, which comprises an endoscope and the electronic equipment of the scheme, wherein the endoscope is connected with the electronic equipment.

The endoscope in the embodiment of the application may be a bronchoscope, a pyeloscope, a esophagoscope, a gastroscope, a enteroscope, an otoscope, a nasoscope, a stomatoscope, a laryngoscope, a colposcope, a laparoscope, an arthroscope, and the like, and the type of the endoscope is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the application.

In the embodiments described above, the differences between the embodiments are mainly described, and as long as there is no contradiction between the different optimization features between the embodiments, the different optimization features may be combined to form a better embodiment, and in consideration of brevity of line text, the description is omitted here.

The foregoing is merely exemplary of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and changes may be made to the present application by those skilled in the art.
