[0022] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0023] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the first embodiment of the present application discloses a tablet computer protective cover with a data expansion function, including a shell 10 and a data expansion component 20. A through slot 11 is provided on one side of the shell 10. The position of the through slot 11 corresponds to the charging socket of the tablet computer, and the data expansion component 20 is snapped onto the through slot 11. The data expansion component 20 includes a card holder shell 21 and a circuit board module 22 installed on the card holder shell 21. The card holder shell 21 is snapped onto the through slot 11. The card holder shell 21 is cylindrical or a long cube, and is adapted to the through slot 11. A protrusion 213 is provided on the card holder shell 21, and a groove 13 is provided at the opposite ends of the through slot 11. The groove 13 is located on the side of the shell 10. During installation, the data expansion component is fixed to the shell by snapping the protrusion 213 of the card holder shell 21 into the groove 13.

[0024] The data expansion component is provided with multiple female connectors and charging male connectors. The charging male connector 212 is connected to the charging socket of the tablet computer. Multiple female connectors 211 and charging male connectors 212 are arranged on the card holder shell 21. Multiple female connectors 211 and charging male connectors 212 are connected to the circuit board module 22. The female connector 211 can be used to plug in a mouse, charger, keyboard 30, wired audio, etc.

[0025] In this embodiment, the data expansion component 20 and the housing 10 can be connected by sliding forward and backward or left and right, and the charging male connector 212 is connected to the charging socket of the tablet computer to form a fixed state of the tablet computer and also form a power supply state of the data expansion component 20. When the charging male connector 212 is unplugged from the charging socket of the tablet computer, the tablet computer can be disassembled.

[0026] In this embodiment, the data expansion component 20 has multiple female connectors 211. The female connectors 211 can serve as power connectors for the keyboard 30, as well as for connecting to a charger or an external audio device. The power connector can be plugged into the TYPE C port of a tablet computer and is connected to the keyboard 30 via a flat cable. By providing a power connector that connects to both the keyboard 30 and the tablet computer, the keyboard 30 can draw power from the tablet computer, enabling the keyboard 30 to function as a communication function without the need for an external power source. Furthermore, the tablet computer can be charged by simply connecting an external power source through the charging port of the keyboard 30. The keyboard 30 can still be used normally during charging, and there is no need to remove the tablet computer from the protective case for charging. The protective case can always provide protection for the tablet computer.

[0027] In this embodiment, a through hole is further provided on the surface of the housing 10 to avoid the tablet camera, and a through hole is provided on the side of the housing 10 to avoid the volume button and the lock screen button of the tablet computer.

[0028] In this embodiment, a honeycomb heat dissipation layer is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 10 described in this application. The provision of the honeycomb heat dissipation layer can effectively reduce the temperature of the tablet computer when running under high load, improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and enhance the user experience.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The second embodiment discloses a tablet computer protective case with a keyboard, comprising the housing 10 and keyboard 30 of the first embodiment. The housing 10 also includes a support back plate and a support plate disposed behind the support back plate. The housing 10 is mounted with the data expansion assembly 20 of the first embodiment. The mounting position and connection method of the data expansion assembly 20 are the same as those of the first embodiment.

[0030] In this embodiment, a first magnet is embedded within the support back panel, and an adsorption strip 12 is mounted on one side of the keyboard 30. A second magnet is mounted within the adsorption strip 12. When using the tablet case, the tablet is first attached to the front of the support back panel. The keyboard 30 is then brought into contact with the bottom of the tablet via the adsorption strip 12. The second magnet within the adsorption strip 12 then attracts the magnet at the bottom of the tablet, thereby connecting the keyboard 30 to the tablet. The arrangement of the support back panel, adsorption strip 12, and magnets allows not only the keyboard 30 and tablet to be magnetically attached and detachable, but also the bracket assembly and tablet to be magnetically attached and detachable, allowing the new detachable tablet case to utilize different connection methods in different scenarios.

[0031] In this embodiment, the keyboard is provided with a key core, a touchpad, and a Bluetooth module. The Bluetooth module can be wirelessly connected to the tablet computer.

[0032] In this example, the support plate has a first support plate and a second support plate. The first support plate is hinged to the rear side of the support back plate, and then the second support plate is rotated by the rotating shaft. The first support plate and the second support plate form a stable support angle, and then the support back plate is placed on the desktop through the first support plate and the second support plate. By setting the support back plate, the tablet computer can be protected and the damage caused by the tablet computer falling to the ground can be reduced.

[0033] It will be easily understood by those skilled in the art that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
