Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a tablet computer is provided, including a tablet computer shell, the tablet computer shell including an upper shell 10, a lower shell 20, a protective shell 30 and a sealing member 40; the upper shell 10 is connected to the lower shell 20, and after the connection, the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are structurally stable, wherein the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are injection molded parts; a first sealing connection part 11 is provided on the periphery of the upper shell 10, and a groove 12 is provided in the first sealing connection part 11; a second sealing connection part 21 is provided on the periphery of the lower shell 20, and the second sealing connection part 21 is arranged relative to the groove 12 to form a sealing groove; the sealing member 40 is arranged in the sealing groove, and the sealing member 40 contacts the second sealing connection part 21, and the sealing member 40 is made of silicone material; the protective shell 30 is sleeved outside the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 to protect the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 and ensure the stability of the structure, so that the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are not easily separated.

[0033] The tablet computer housing of the present invention has the characteristics of being waterproof, dustproof, and drop-proof. These characteristics make the tablet computer suitable for use in harsh environments, such as outdoor adventures, industrial sites, or military operations. The first sealing connection part 11, the second sealing connection part 21, and the seal 40 can improve the waterproof and dustproof performance. The waterproof function can protect the device from water and moisture, making it suitable for use in humid or rainy environments. Secondly, the dustproof function ensures that the interior of the device is not disturbed by dust and fine particles, thereby extending the life of the device. Thirdly, the design of the protective shell 30 strengthens the shell and internal structure, reduces damage caused by falls, and enhances durability.

[0034] In this embodiment, a buckling portion 13 is provided on the inner side surface of the upper housing 10 . The buckling portion 13 extends toward the lower housing 20 and has a buckling groove 14 .

[0035] A buckle portion 22 is provided on the inner side surface of the lower shell 20 . The buckle portion 22 is disposed opposite to the fastening portion 13 . When the fastening portion 13 and the buckle portion 22 cooperate with each other, the buckle portion 22 is disposed in the fastening groove 14 .

[0036] Specifically, there are multiple buckling parts 13 and snap parts 22, and the number of buckling parts 13 and snap parts 22 is the same, and they are arranged one by one relative to each other. In this way, the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are covered. Since the buckling part 13 is injection-molded by the upper shell 10 and has a certain deformation ability, the buckling part 13 is squeezed inward by the snap part 22 and deformed until the snap part 22 is buckled into the buckling groove 14, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20.

[0037] In this example, a first guiding slope 131 is provided on a side of the fastening portion 13 that is close to the inner side surface of the upper shell 10. Specifically, the first guiding slope 131 is disposed toward the latch portion 22. During the connection process between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20, the provision of the first guiding slope 131 allows the fastening portion 13 to deform more effectively, thereby simplifying the connection between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20.

[0038] In this example, the buckle portion 22 is arranged in a trapezoidal shape, so that the buckle portion 22 forms a second guide slope 221 on one side of the buckle portion 22. Specifically, the second guide slope 221 is arranged toward the first guide slope 131. During the connection process between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20, the provision of the second guide slope 221 allows the buckle portion 13 to deform better, making the connection between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 easier.

[0039] In this embodiment, the upper housing 10 is provided with a mounting platform 15 for mounting the screen. The mounting platform 15 is arranged in a multi-step manner. Specifically, the multi-step arrangement facilitates positioning and installation of the screen and allows for a water-proof and dust-proof structure to be provided between the screen and the mounting platform 15, further improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the tablet computer.

[0040] In this example, the lower housing 20 is provided with slots 23 and mounting portions 24 for mounting electronic components. Both the slots 23 and mounting portions 24 are located within the mounting cavity formed by the upper housing 10 and the lower housing 20. Specifically, the provision of the slots 23 and mounting portions 24 facilitates the securement and arrangement of electronic components, making the internal structure of the tablet computer more orderly and stable.

[0041] In this example, crash pads 31 are provided at the four corners of the protective housing 30. The two ends of the crash pads 31 are connected to two adjacent side panels of the protective housing 30, respectively, forming a buffering space between the crash pads 31 and the protective housing 30. Specifically, the crash pads 31 are integrally provided with the protective housing, and because of the space between the crash pads 31 and the protective housing 30, in the event of an external impact, the crash pads 31 have space to deform to absorb potential energy, thereby mitigating the impact and effectively protecting the tablet computer.

[0042] In this example, the bottom of the protective housing 30 is provided with bumps 32, which are arranged along the four sides of the protective housing 30 so that the middle portion of the protective housing 30 is suspended in the air. Specifically, the bumps 32 are provided on the four sides of the protective housing 30 to reduce the contact area of the tablet computer on horizontal surfaces and improve its drop resistance.

[0043] This embodiment also includes a sealing plug 50. The upper housing 10, lower housing 20, and protective shell 30 are provided with clearances for the tablet computer's interfaces. The sealing plug 50 is removably mounted within the clearances. Specifically, the sealing plug 50 is made of silicone material and seals the tablet computer's interfaces. It can be removed when needed, effectively improving the tablet computer's dust and water resistance.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
