Abstract

A protective cover for a portable electronic device includes a substrate and a heat dissipation unit assembled to the second surface. The substrate includes a metal part and a plastic part combined with the metal part. The metal part includes a first surface and an opposite second surface. The plastic part defines a receiving space for receiving the portable electronic device. When the portable electronic device is received in the receiving space, the heat dissipation unit contacts with the portable electronic device and transmits heat of the portable electronic device to the metal part so that the heat is dissipated by the metal part.

Claims

1. A protective cover for a portable electronic device, the protective cover comprising:

a substrate, the substrate comprising a metal part and a plastic part combined with the metal part, the metal part comprising a first surface and an opposite second surface, the plastic part defining a receiving space for receiving the portable electronic device;

and a heat dissipation unit assembled to the second surface, wherein when the portable electronic device is received in the receiving space, the heat dissipation unit contacts with the portable electronic device and transmits heat of the portable electronic device to the metal part so that the heat is dissipated by the metal part.

2. The protective cover of claim 1, wherein a distance between the portable electronic device received in the protective cover and the second surface is smaller than a thickness of the heat dissipation unit so that the heat dissipation unit resists against the portable electronic device.

3. The protective cover of claim 2, wherein the heat dissipation unit comprises a heat dissipation layer and a combination layer formed on the heat dissipation layer, the combination layer is combined with the second surface and deformed when the heat dissipation unit resists against the portable electronic device.

4. The protective cover of claim 3, wherein the heat dissipation unit further comprises a protective layer is formed on the dissipation layer, when the portable electronic device is received in the receiving space, the protective layer resists against the portable electronic device and deformed by the portable electronic device.

5. The protective cover of claim 3, wherein the heat dissipation layer is made of one of graphite, copper, aluminum, and plastic filled with thermally-conductive particles.

6. The protective cover of claim 3, wherein the combination layer is made of plastic, which is capable of being mechanically deformed during compression.

7. The protective cover of claim 4, wherein the protective layer is made of plastic, which is capable of being mechanically deformed during compression.

8. A protective cover for a portable electronic device, comprising:

a substrate, the substrate defining a receiving space for receiving the portable electronic device; and

a heat dissipation unit assembled to the substrate, wherein when the portable electronic device is received in the receiving space, the heat dissipation unit is positioned between the substrate and the portable electronic device and transmits heat of the portable electronic device to the substrate to dissipate the heat.

9. The protective cover of claim 8, wherein the substrate comprises a metal part and a plastic part combined with the metal part, the plastic part defines the receiving space, the heat dissipation unit is assembled to the metal part, and the metal part dissipates the heat.

10. The protective cover of claim 8, wherein a distance between the portable electronic device received in the protective cover and the metal part is smaller than a thickness of the heat dissipation unit so that the heat dissipation unit resists against the portable electronic device.

11. The protective cover of claim 10, wherein the heat dissipation unit comprises a heat dissipation layer and a combination layer formed on the heat dissipation layer, the combination layer is combined with the second surface and deformed when the heat dissipation unit resists against the portable electronic device.

12. The protective cover of claim 11, wherein the heat dissipation unit further comprises a protective layer is formed on the dissipation layer, when the portable electronic device is received in the receiving space, the protective layer resists against the portable electronic device and deformed by the portable electronic device.

13. The protective cover of claim 10, wherein the heat dissipation layer is made of one of graphite, copper, aluminum, and plastic filled with thermally-conductive particles.

14. The protective cover of claim 10, wherein the combination layer is made of plastic, which is capable of being mechanically deformed during compression.

15. The protective cover of claim 14, wherein the protective layer is made of plastic, which is capable of being mechanically deformed during compression.
