These interfaces are usually covered to prevent the internal electronic components from being exposed to air for extended periods, which could significantly shorten their lifespan, and also to avoid affecting the overall appearance of the product.

[0003] In existing technologies, the cover body typically combines a soft rubber sleeve and a hard rubber cover, providing a certain degree of rigidity and ensuring a stable fit at the interface. However, because the soft rubber sleeve is easily stretched and deformed, the soft rubber sleeve and the hard rubber cover are prone to separation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an interface protective cover for an electronic device, an electronic device, and an endoscope system to solve the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] This application is implemented as follows:

The surface of the soft rubber sleeve is provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting groove is further provided with an attachment protrusion. The peripheral sidewall of the attachment protrusion and the sidewall of the mounting groove form an annular insertion groove. The hard rubber cover includes a hard rubber body and an insertion protrusion provided on the surface of the hard rubber body. The insertion protrusion surrounds and forms a receiving cavity. The insertion protrusion is inserted into the annular insertion groove, and the attachment protrusion is engaged in the receiving cavity.

[0007] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electronic device, including the interface protective cover of the electronic device provided in the first aspect embodiment. The electronic device is an all-in-one machine, a host, or a display for an endoscope.

[0008] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide an endoscope system, including the electronic device provided in the second aspect embodiment.

[0009] The technical solution provided in this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0010] In this application, by providing an attachment protrusion in the mounting groove of the soft rubber sleeve, the attachment protrusion can cooperate with the side wall of the mounting groove to form an annular insertion groove. The insertion protrusion of the hard rubber cover is inserted into the annular insertion groove to support the soft rubber sleeve and improve the stability of the soft rubber sleeve when it is installed to the interface. At the same time, the attachment protrusion is snapped into the receiving cavity formed by the insertion protrusion, increasing the contact area between the hard rubber cover and the soft rubber sleeve and improving the connection stability of the two. The soft rubber sleeve and the hard rubber cover are interlocked, further improving the overall stability of the protective cover structure. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The following description provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various features of the present invention. The elements and arrangements described in the specific examples below are only for concise expression of the present invention and are merely examples, not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0031] This application provides an interface protective cover for an electronic device, comprising a soft rubber sleeve 10 and a hard rubber cover 20. The soft rubber sleeve 10 is elastic and can deform under force, allowing the protective cover to be secured at the corresponding interface 310. The hard rubber cover 20 has higher hardness, providing support for the soft rubber sleeve 10, thus giving the protective cover a certain strength and preventing it from deforming and detaching from the corresponding interface 310.

[0032] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the surface of the soft rubber sleeve 10 is provided with an installation groove, and an attachment protrusion 110 is also provided inside the installation groove. The peripheral sidewall of the attachment protrusion 110 and the sidewall of the installation groove form an annular insertion groove 120. The annular insertion groove 120 is part of the installation groove. Part of the space of the installation groove is occupied by the attachment protrusion 110, and the other part of the space forms the annular insertion groove 120. The attachment protrusion 110 is installed on the bottom wall of the installation groove, so that the peripheral sidewall of the attachment protrusion 110 can cooperate with the sidewall of the installation groove to form the annular insertion groove 120.

[0033] The hard plastic cover 20 includes a hard plastic body 210 and an insertion protrusion 220 disposed on the surface of the hard plastic body 210, see reference. Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown. The insertion protrusion 220 is provided to protrude from the surface of the rigid plastic body 210. Furthermore, the insertion protrusion 220 encloses and forms a receiving cavity 260, as shown in the reference. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown.

[0034] The insertion protrusion 220 inserts into the annular insertion groove 120, while the attachment protrusion 110 is correspondingly engaged in the receiving cavity 260. The insertion protrusion 220 in the annular insertion groove 120 supports the soft rubber sleeve 10. When the protective cover is engaged in the interface 310 of the electronic device 30, the soft rubber sleeve 10 is located on the outer side and is deformed by compression, allowing the protective cover to be firmly engaged in the interface 310. Simultaneously, the attachment protrusion 110 engages in the receiving cavity 260, and both the inner and outer sides of the insertion protrusion 220 contact the soft rubber sleeve 10, increasing the contact area between the hard rubber cover 20 and the soft rubber sleeve 10, thereby improving the connection stability between the soft rubber sleeve 10 and the hard rubber cover 20.

[0035] During the process of installing the protective cover onto or removing it from the interface 310, even if the soft rubber sleeve 10 is stretched and deformed, the soft rubber sleeve 10 and the hard rubber cover 20 are unlikely to separate due to the large contact area between them. This helps to improve the connection stability of the soft rubber sleeve 10 and the hard rubber cover 20.

[0036] The soft rubber sleeve 10 and hard rubber cover 20 provided in this application embodiment are nested together. The insertion protrusion 220 wraps around the attachment protrusion 110, restricting the deformation of the attachment protrusion 110, thereby suppressing the deformation of the soft rubber sleeve 10 to a certain extent and reducing the probability of the soft rubber sleeve 10 deforming as a whole and separating from the hard rubber cover 20.

[0037] In some embodiments, the soft rubber sleeve 10 and the hard rubber cover 20 can be formed into a protective cover using a two-color injection molding process. Two-color injection molding avoids multiple injection molding and assembly steps, which helps improve production efficiency. In other embodiments, the soft rubber sleeve 10 and the hard rubber cover 20 can also be fixed together by adhesive bonding. Adhesive bonding enhances the connection stability between the soft rubber sleeve 10 and the hard rubber cover 20. In other embodiments, the soft rubber sleeve 10 and the hard rubber cover 20 can also be fixed together directly using a snap-fit ​​connection or other connection methods.

[0038] The insertion protrusion 220 can be a closed ring structure, see reference. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the closed annular structure is connected end to end, and the interior and exterior of the annular structure are isolated from each other without any connecting gaps. This facilitates the limiting of the attachment protrusion 110 and the support of the soft rubber sleeve 10, further restricting the deformation of the soft rubber sleeve 10. In other embodiments, the insertion protrusion 220 may also include multiple protrusions, which together form a receiving cavity 260.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the hard plastic cover 20 also includes a positioning block disposed on the hard plastic body 210. The positioning block is fixedly disposed with the insertion protrusion 220. The soft plastic sleeve 10 is provided with a positioning groove communicating with the annular insertion groove 120, and the positioning block is installed in the positioning groove. When the insertion protrusion 220 is inserted into the annular insertion groove 120, the positioning block and the insertion protrusion 220 are simultaneously inserted into the positioning groove. The cooperation between the positioning block and the positioning groove can, on the one hand, increase the contact area between the soft plastic sleeve 10 and the hard plastic cover 20, thereby further reducing the probability of separation between the soft plastic sleeve 10 and the hard plastic cover 20; on the other hand, during the use of the protective cover, the hard plastic cover 20 will squeeze the soft plastic sleeve 10, forcing the soft plastic sleeve 10 to deform. The cooperation between the positioning block and the positioning groove can increase the anchoring effect between the hard plastic body 210 and the soft plastic sleeve 10, preventing the soft plastic sleeve 10 from partially deforming and increasing the risk of separation from the hard plastic cover 20.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the positioning block includes a first positioning block 230 and a second positioning block 240, and the positioning groove includes a first positioning groove 130 and a second positioning groove 140. (See reference...) Figure 3As shown, both the first positioning block 230 and the second positioning block 240 are simultaneously fixed to the insertion protrusion 220 and the rigid plastic body 210, which can strengthen the connection between the insertion protrusion 220 and the rigid plastic body 210 and improve the structural stability of the insertion protrusion 220. (Reference) Figure 2 As shown, the first positioning groove 130 and the second positioning groove 140 are both disposed in the soft rubber sleeve 10 and communicate with the annular insertion groove 120. The first positioning block 230 is installed in the first positioning groove 130, and the second positioning block 240 is installed in the second positioning groove 140.

[0041] The first positioning block 230 and the second positioning block 240 are located on the inner and outer sides of the insertion protrusion 220, respectively, restricting the relative position of the insertion protrusion 220 and the soft rubber sleeve 10 on both sides of the insertion protrusion 220. Furthermore, the second positioning block 240 is correspondingly arranged with one of the first positioning blocks 230. The number of the first positioning blocks 230 and the second positioning blocks 240 is different; the number of the first positioning blocks 230 is greater than or equal to the number of the second positioning blocks 240, ensuring that each second positioning block 240 corresponds to one of the first positioning blocks 230, cooperating with each other to improve the structural strength of the insertion protrusion 220 and prevent torsion between the insertion protrusion 220 and the soft rubber sleeve 10.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, the first positioning block 230 is located on the outer side of the insertion protrusion 220, and the second positioning block 240 is located on the inner side of the insertion protrusion 220. Correspondingly, the first positioning groove 130 is disposed on the side wall of the mounting groove, and the second positioning groove 140 is disposed on the side wall of the attachment protrusion 110. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, the width direction of the partial insertion protrusion 220 is parallel to the arrangement direction of the first positioning block 230 and the second positioning block 240 correspondingly connected to the partial insertion protrusion 220. The first positioning block 230 and the second positioning block 240 are distributed on both sides of the width direction of the partial insertion protrusion 220. The two positioning blocks clamp the insertion protrusion 220, which can further enhance the anti-torsion effect between the insertion protrusion 220 and the soft rubber sleeve 10.

[0044] There are multiple first positioning blocks 230, see reference. Figure 3 As shown, multiple first positioning blocks 230 are arranged around the circumference of the insertion protrusion 220, which enhances the anti-torsion effect between the insertion protrusion 220 and the soft rubber sleeve 10 in the circumference of the insertion protrusion 220.

[0045] The soft rubber sleeve 10 also includes a reinforcing portion connecting the sidewall of the mounting groove and the attachment protrusion 110. This reinforcing portion, connecting the two, reduces the probability of deformation and enhances the structural strength of the soft rubber sleeve 10. (Reference) Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the insertion protrusion 220 is provided with a mounting groove 221 corresponding to the reinforcing part. The reinforcing part is installed in the mounting groove 221.

[0046] The reinforcing part occupies part of the space in the annular insertion groove 120. Therefore, a corresponding mounting groove 221 needs to be provided on the insertion protrusion 220 to correspond with the reinforcing part. The reinforcing part increases the contact area between the hard rubber cover 20 and the soft rubber sleeve 10, which can improve the connection stability between the two. In another aspect, the reinforcing part connects the two areas of the soft rubber sleeve 10, improving the strength of the soft rubber sleeve 10 and optimizing its damage resistance.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the hard plastic cover 20 also includes a handle 250, one end of which is fixed to the hard plastic body 210, and the other end is free. When in use, the protective cover is directly inserted into the corresponding interface 310. The handle 250 makes it easier for operators to remove the protective cover from the interface 310. The handle 250 is part of the hard plastic cover 20, possessing high strength and rigidity, making it easier to control.

[0048] The rigid plastic body 210 has an attachment area, one side of which is connected to the handle 250, and the other side of which is connected to the insertion protrusion 220. (See reference) Figure 3 As shown. The attachment area is a part of the hard plastic body 210, and within this area, there are a handle 250 and a plug-in protrusion 220 on both sides. When the operator pries the handle 250, it is equivalent to applying force to the connection between the hard plastic cover 20 and the soft plastic sleeve 10. Compared to applying force to the soft plastic sleeve 10 or the hard plastic cover 20 alone, this can effectively reduce the risk of the soft plastic sleeve 10 and the hard plastic cover 20 detaching.

[0049] In some embodiments, the soft rubber sleeve 10 can be a one-piece molded structure, with the annular insertion groove 120 directly formed during manufacturing. In another embodiment, the attachment protrusion 110 can be a structure that is subsequently additionally fixed to the bottom of the mounting groove. For the hard rubber cover 20, the hard rubber body 210 and the insertion protrusion 220 can be a one-piece molded structure, and the insertion protrusion 220, positioning block, and latch 250 can also be additionally fixed later.

[0050] This application also provides an electronic device 30, with reference to... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the interface 310 protective cover of the electronic device 30 provided in any of the above embodiments is included. The electronic device 30 is an all-in-one machine, host, or display for endoscopes.

[0051] In some embodiments, the hard plastic cover 20 further includes a handle 250, one end of which is fixed to the hard plastic body 210, and the other end is a free end. The interface 310 is located on the side wall of the electronic device 30, and the side wall of the electronic device 30 has a curved structure with certain undulations. In order to cooperate with the side wall of the electronic device 30 and to prevent the protective cover from protruding relative to the interface 310 of the electronic device 30 when it is inserted, the outer surface of the hard plastic cover 20 is usually also set as a curved structure.

[0052] The free end of the handle 250 extends toward the back of the electronic device 30, for reference. Figure 10 As shown, along the thickness direction of the electronic device 30, the projection of the handle 250 on the front of the electronic device 30 lies within the projection range of the hard plastic body 210 on the front of the electronic device 30. Viewed from the front of the electronic device 30 towards its back, the projection of the handle 250 lies within the projection range of the hard plastic body 210, allowing the hard plastic body 210 to completely conceal the handle 250, thereby improving the aesthetics of the electronic device 30. The front of the electronic device 30 is typically its primary usable surface, while the back is the surface opposite to the front. The front and back are located at opposite ends of the thickness direction of the electronic device 30.

[0053] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the interface 310 also includes a snap-fit ​​slot 311 and a limiting hole 312. The snap-fit ​​slot 311 is a USB port. Correspondingly, the hard plastic cover 20 of the protective cover has a connecting protrusion 150 and a connecting rod 160. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown. The connecting protrusion 150 is used to snap into the snap-fit ​​groove 311, which seals the snap-fit ​​groove 311 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the connecting protrusion 150 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 311 to improve the connection stability between the protective cover and the electronic device 30.

[0054] The connecting rod 160 is used to insert into the limiting hole 312. When the protective cover is pulled out from the interface 310, the connecting part is disengaged from the snap-fit ​​groove 311, and the soft rubber sleeve 10 is disengaged from the inner wall of the interface 310, the connecting rod 160 is connected and engaged with the limiting hole 312 to prevent the protective cover from being completely disengaged from the electronic device 30. After the interface 310 is used up, there is no need to search for the protective cover, which can avoid the situation of the protective cover being accidentally lost.

[0055] The fit between the connecting rod 160 and the limiting hole 312 can be a magnetic fit, or a limiting protrusion 161 can be provided at the end of the connecting rod 160, as shown in the reference. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the size of the limiting protrusion 161 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the limiting hole 312. Without external force, the connecting rod 160 will not detach from the limiting hole 312, which can prevent the protective cover from falling off the electronic device 30.

[0056] This application also provides an endoscope system, including the electronic device 30 provided in any of the above embodiments. The endoscope is also part of the endoscope system and is connected to the electronic device 30. The endoscope corresponding to the electronic device 30 can be a bronchoscope, pyeloscope, esophagoscope, gastroscope, colonoscope, otoscope, rhinoscope, oral endoscope, laryngoscope, colposcope, laparoscope, arthroscope, etc. This application does not specifically limit the type of endoscope.

[0057] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Unless otherwise specified, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0058] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
