Detailed implementation manners
[0029] The implementation manners of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Example 1: As Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, a lateral protection structure for a tablet computer and a tablet computer include a strip-shaped airbag 2, a protection airbag 3, an arc-shaped buffer pad 4, a communication component 5, an air guiding component 6, a button protection component 7, and an inflation component 8. A strip-shaped groove is formed on the front edge of the tablet computer 1, and the strip-shaped airbag 2 is embedded in the strip-shaped groove.

A cylindrical channel 61 is embedded in the center of the rubber ball 54. Two second fixing rings 62 are arranged in the cylindrical channel 61. A second elastic member 63 is arranged on the second fixing ring 62 away from the strip-shaped airbag 2. The second elastic member 63 is a compression spring. The other end of the second elastic member 63 is connected to a circular block 64. The circular block 64 is in contact and cooperation with the second fixing ring 62 away from the strip-shaped airbag 2. Button protection components 7 are arranged at the button positions of the tablet computer 1. The button protection component 7 includes a guide rod 71, a protection cover 72, a wedge-shaped block 73, and an elastic pad 74. One-word slots are symmetrically formed on the buttons of the tablet computer 1. A strip-shaped slot is formed on the tablet computer 1 close to the button position. Guide rods 71 are symmetrically arranged in the strip-shaped slot. A protection cover 72 is slidably arranged on the guide rods 71. The contact position between the protection cover 72 and the tablet computer 1 is made of rubber soft material. A wedge-shaped block 73 matching the one-word slot on the button of the tablet computer 1 is formed on the inner side wall of the protection cover 72. An elastic pad 74 is arranged in the protection cover 72. The elastic pad 74 is in contact with the button. Inflation components 8 are arranged between the button protection component 7 and the adjacent protection airbag 3. The inflation component 8 includes a mounting block 81, a cylinder body 82, a piston 83, a push rod 84, and a connecting pipe 85. Mounting blocks 81 are arranged on the tablet computer 1 close to the button position. A cylinder body 82 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 81. A piston 83 is slidably arranged in the cylinder body 82. A push rod 84 is arranged on the piston 83. The push rod 84 is connected to the protection cover 72. The cylinder body 82 is communicated with the protection airbag 3 through the connecting pipe 85.
[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, it further includes a dust-proof component 9. The dust-proof component 9 includes a moving plate 91, a sliding block 92, and a dust-proof net 93. A sliding groove is formed at the position of the earphone hole of the tablet computer 1. The moving plate 91 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove. The sliding block 92 is arranged on the moving plate 91. Circular holes are spaced apart on the moving plate 91, and dust-proof nets 93 are arranged at the positions of the circular holes.
[0032] As Figure 8 shown in the figure, it further includes a guide rod 10, a moving block 11, a folding elastic film 12, and a third elastic member 13. Guide rods 10 are symmetrically arranged at the position of the charging hole of the tablet computer 1. Moving blocks 11 are slidably arranged in the guide rods 10. A third elastic member 13 is arranged between the moving block 11 and the tablet computer 1. The third elastic member 13 is a compression spring. A folding elastic film 12 is arranged between the tablet computer 1 and the moving block 11.
[0033] As Figure 9 shown in the figure, it further includes a rubber bottom cover 14. The rubber bottom cover 14 is arranged at the bottom of the tablet computer 1.
[0034] As Figure 9 shown in the figure, it further includes a rubber shielding cover 15. The rubber shielding cover 15 is rotatably arranged at the position of the bottom camera of the tablet computer 1.
[0035] When the tablet computer 1 accidentally drops, the airbag 3 on the tablet computer 1 receives the ground pressure. The gas in the airbag 3 passes through the ventilation hard tube 51, and the rubber ball 54 is squeezed by the gas to move and disengage from the first fixing ring 53. The first elastic member 52 is compressed, and the gas enters the strip-shaped airbag 2. Then, the strip-shaped airbag 2 is further filled. The airbag 3 plays a buffering role for the tablet computer 1. After the edge of the tablet computer 1 contacts the ground, the tablet computer 1 topples over. When the back of the tablet computer 1 contacts the ground, the rubber bottom cover 14 plays a protective role for the tablet computer 1. When the front of the tablet computer 1 contacts the ground, the re-inflated strip-shaped airbag 2 plays a protective role for the ground contact. The excess gas in the strip-shaped airbag 2 squeezes the circular block 64 to move outward through the cylindrical channel 61. The circular block 64 disengages from the second fixing ring 62, and the second elastic member 63 is compressed. The gas is injected back into the airbag 3 through the cylindrical channel 61. When the tablet computer 1 drops and contacts the ground at the corner position of the button, the airbag 3 deforms, and the gas squeezes into the cylinder body 82. The piston 83 in the cylinder body 82 drives the ejector rod 84 to move. The ejector rod 84 drives the protective cover 72 to move along the guide rod 71. The wedge block 73 is inserted into the one-word groove of the button of the tablet computer 1, playing a limiting role for the button. When charging is required, directly use the charger to squeeze the inclined surface of the moving block 11. The moving block 11 is squeezed to move to both sides, and the third elastic member 13 is compressed. The folding elastic membrane 12 folds. When not charging, unplug the charger, and the third elastic member 13 drives the moving block 11 to reset, and the folding elastic membrane 12 resets. When using the tablet computer 1, it is necessary to move the sliding block 92 away. The sliding block 92 drives the moving plate 91 to move, and the dust-proof net 93 faces the sound hole of the tablet computer 1. When not in use, the moving plate 91 blocks the sound hole of the tablet computer 1, playing a protective role.
[0036] Embodiment 2: A tablet computer 1, wherein the tablet computer 1 is provided with the lateral protection structure of the tablet computer 1 as described in Embodiment 1.
