[0027] The first housing 1 has a receiving slot 4 for accommodating the tablet computer 50;
[0028] The second housing 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the first housing 1;
[0029] The third housing 3 is rotatably connected to the side of the second housing 2 away from the first housing 1;
[0030] The tablet computer case comprises three housings: a first housing 1, a second housing 2, and a third housing 3, each integrating a solar cell 20. The first housing 1 is also connected to an expansion dock 5, with the solar cells 20 electrically connected to the expansion dock 5. When the tablet computer case is folded, the second housing 2 and the third housing 3 are stacked on top of the first housing 1 to protect the tablet computer 50. When the tablet computer case is in a supported state, the first housing 1, the second housing 2, and the third housing 3 form a triangular support structure. This application provides a tablet computer case with three housings, each with a solar cell 20. This allows for the installation of more solar cells 20, increasing power storage, and also facilitates a more stable and convenient support structure with three housings.
[0031] The docking station 5 has multiple charging or data transfer ports. Because this application integrates the docking station 5, the tablet case can provide data transfer outdoors, making it convenient for users. Figure 5 As shown, the positive electrode of the solar cell 20 can be uniformly set at one end, and the negative electrode can be set at the other end. Then, the first housing 1, the second housing 2, the third housing 3 and the expansion dock 5 can be electrically connected through wires.
[0032] In some embodiments, the docking station 5 is provided with a first magnet 51, and one side of the second housing 2 is provided with a second magnet 21. When the tablet computer case is in a folded state, the first magnet 51 and the second magnet 21 are attracted to each other to maintain the folded state. Of course, in other embodiments, the folded state can also be maintained by other means, such as by Velcro or fasteners, and this application is not limited to this.
[0033] In some embodiments, the first magnet 51 is provided with a nameplate information 511. By providing the nameplate information 511 on the first magnet 51, the first magnet 51 can be hidden, making the appearance more aesthetically pleasing.

[0038] In some embodiments, when the first housing 1, the second housing 2, and the third housing 3 are unfolded and laid flat, the solar cells 20 of the second housing 2 and the third housing 3 are located on the same side as the solar cells 20 of the first housing 1. In other words, the solar cells 20 of the first housing 1, the second housing 2, and the third housing 3 are located on the same plane, which facilitates charging when unfolded.
[0039] In some embodiments, the second shell 2 and the third shell 3 are connected by magnetic attraction or Velcro when stacked. Since the tablet computer protective case of this application consists of three shells, if the second shell 2 and the third shell 3 are not fixed in a certain way when folded, it is easy to cause shaking. This application preferably uses magnetic attraction or Velcro, which is convenient and quick.
[0040] In some embodiments, the second housing 2 and the third housing 3 are respectively provided with two spaced magnetic attraction positions 30 at corresponding positions.
[0041] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: This utility model provides a tablet computer protective case with solar charging function. By setting up a solar power generation battery and an expansion dock, the tablet computer can be charged outdoors and transmit data while charging. This allows the tablet computer protective case to integrate protection, charging and data transmission functions into one, which greatly facilitates outdoor use.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that if any directional indication (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) is involved in the embodiments of this application, the directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
