[0035] Please see below. Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a tablet computer keyboard device, which specifically includes:

[0036] The keyboard component 10 has a handle 11 extending outwards;

[0037] The folding arm 20 is rotatably connected to the keyboard component 10, and its surface is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 21.

[0038] The mounting shell 30 is detachably mounted on the folding arm 20. The front is provided with a mounting part 31 for mounting a tablet computer, and the back is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 that matches the snap-fit ​​groove 21 and is adjustable in installation angle. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 is configured to allow the mounting shell 30 to switch between a vertical installation direction and a horizontal installation direction by cooperating with the snap-fit ​​groove 21.

[0039] In this embodiment, the folding arm 20 is rotated and mounted on the keyboard component 10, and the mounting shell 30 and the folding arm 20 are flexibly connected by the locking protrusion 32 with the adjustable mounting angle cooperating with the locking groove 21 on the folding arm 20. This allows the installation direction of the tablet computer to be switched freely between vertical and horizontal directions, meeting the user's needs in different scenarios.

[0040] Currently, students and office workers constitute a significant portion of the tablet computer user group. These users often need to carry tablets and keyboards for mobile work or study, thus placing high demands on the portability of the tablet keyboard. Based on this, this embodiment allows the tablet to be mounted on the mounting part 31, and the mounting shell 30 containing the tablet to be folded above the keyboard part 10 by rotating the folding arm 20 connected to the keyboard part 10, forming a compact and portable configuration. This achieves portable storage of the tablet and keyboard, eliminating the need for users to carry them separately, reducing their burden, and further reducing the space occupied by the keyboard, thus enhancing its portability. Furthermore, by providing a carrying handle 11 on the keyboard part, it makes carrying the tablet even more convenient, whether held with one hand or hung on a backpack, effectively improving the portability of the tablet and keyboard and greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0041] In practical applications, when a user is using a tablet computer, after installing the tablet computer into the mounting part 31, the user can switch to the desired viewing angle by adjusting the latch protrusion 32. The keyboard component 10 communicates with the tablet computer via wired or wireless means. When the tablet computer is not in use, the mounting shell 30 (tablet computer) and the keyboard component 10 can be folded together by the folding arm 20 to reduce space occupation, make it easy to carry, and reduce the risk of device damage.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the engagement of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 and the snap-fit ​​groove 21 achieves a stable connection between the mounting shell 30 and the folding arm 20, ensuring that the mounting shell 30 will not loosen due to external forces when using the tablet computer, further enhancing the safety and stability of the device. At the same time, the snap-fit ​​design makes the installation and disassembly process more convenient, facilitating daily use for users.

[0043] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 is a square protrusion, and the snap-fit ​​groove 21 is a square groove.

[0044] In this embodiment, by using square protrusions and square grooves to fit together, the mounting shell 30 is installed on the folding arm 20. This effectively avoids rotation and offset during installation, ensuring precise alignment between the mounting shell 30 and the folding arm 20, and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. At the same time, the square design simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0045] Understandably, the square protrusions have equal and perpendicular sides. When a user needs to switch the tablet from landscape to portrait orientation, or vice versa, they only need to rotate the mounting case 30 by 90° and re-insert it into the square groove to achieve a quick switch without complicated operations. This improves the flexibility of use while maintaining the stability of the structure, ensuring stable support in different usage scenarios.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the design of square protrusions and grooves is not the only option. Other shapes can also achieve similar functions. The key is to ensure a tight and stable connection while taking into account the user's convenience in changing the tablet's placement position.

[0047] In one embodiment, the mounting housing 30 and the folding arm 20 are secured magnetically. This magnetic securing method not only simplifies the installation process but also enhances connection stability, ensuring the tablet is less likely to detach when moved or its angle adjusted. Furthermore, the magnetic design facilitates quick disassembly, further improving the user experience.

[0048] In specific application scenarios, depending on the actual situation, the magnetic attraction method can be omitted, and the connection and fixation between the mounting shell 30 and the folding arm 20 can be achieved directly through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 and the snap-fit ​​groove 21, thereby saving production costs.

[0049] Combination Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the keyboard component 10 has a rotating mounting portion 12 protruding upward at one end, and the rotating mounting portion 12 is connected to one end of the folding arm 20 via a rotating connector.

[0050] Furthermore, the rotating mounting part 12 includes a rotating structure 121 and a limiting structure 122. The rotating structure 121 is connected to one end of the folding arm 20 through a rotating connector. The limiting structure 122 extends and protrudes toward the back of the folding arm 20 to limit the rotation angle of the folding arm 20.

[0051] In this embodiment, by providing a rotating mounting part 12 on the keyboard component 10 and connecting it to the folding arm 20, the folding arm 20 can rotate flexibly, allowing the user to adjust the angle of the folding arm 20 according to actual needs, thereby optimizing the user experience.

[0052] This embodiment also sets the limiting structure 122 to face the back of the folding arm 20, so that when the folding arm 20 rotates to a certain angle, its back is supported by the limiting structure 122, thus preventing excessive tilting. This not only effectively prevents the tablet computer from falling due to excessive rotation angle, but also allows the tablet computer to reach the optimal position as the folding arm 20 rotates (i.e., after the tablet computer rotates to the optimal viewing angle, it is supported by the limiting structure 122 and stops rotating), ensuring the comfort and stability of the viewing angle.

[0053] In other embodiments, the limiting structure 122 can also be provided at the bottom of the folding arm 20. In this case, the limiting structure 122 extends and protrudes towards the back of the rotating structure 121. When the folding arm 20 rotates backward to a certain angle, the limiting structure 122 abuts against the back of the rotating structure 121, so as not to tilt excessively.

[0054] In one embodiment, the length from the snap-fit ​​groove 21 to the bottom of the folding arm 20 is not less than the length from the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 to the side of the mounting housing 30.

[0055] In this embodiment, by setting the length from the snap-fit ​​groove 21 to the bottom of the folding arm 20 to be no less than the length from the snap-fit ​​protrusion 32 to the side of the mounting shell 30, interference between the mounting shell 30 and the folding arm 20 after folding can be prevented, ensuring a smooth folding process. At the same time, structural instability caused by mismatched lengths can be avoided, thereby improving the overall safety and durability of the device.

[0056] In one embodiment, the rotating connector is a damped shaft (not shown in the figure).

[0057] This embodiment uses a damping pivot design to give the folding arm 20 a certain damping effect during rotation, avoiding instability caused by rapid rotation. Furthermore, by increasing the resistance value of the damping pivot, the folding arm 20 can remain stable and not easily wobble after rotating to any angle, thus making it convenient for users to adjust the required angle when using the tablet computer.

[0058] In one embodiment, an anti-slip pad is provided on the back of the keyboard component 10 to increase the friction between the back (bottom) of the keyboard component 10 and the placement plane, thereby preventing the keyboard component 10 from sliding when the user uses the tablet computer and ensuring its stability on the desktop.

[0059] In one embodiment, the edge of the mounting portion 31 is provided with a limiting wall to restrict the sliding of the tablet computer;

[0060] And / or, the mounting part 31 is provided with a camera hole.

[0061] In this embodiment, the edge of the mounting portion 31 is provided with a limiting wall to restrict the sliding of the tablet computer, ensuring that the tablet computer is stably placed inside the mounting shell 30. Furthermore, the mounting shell 30 in this embodiment is also provided with a camera hole for accommodating the tablet computer's camera, enabling the user to conduct video calls or take photos normally during use.

[0062] In one embodiment, a pen slot 13 is recessed in the keyboard component 10. Many users frequently use electronic pens when operating tablet computers. This embodiment provides a dedicated storage space for electronic pens by providing a pen slot 13 recessed in the keyboard component 10, which not only prevents the electronic pen from being lost but also keeps the desktop tidy. At the same time, it is convenient for users to carry and access the pen at any time, improving efficiency and convenience.

[0063] When the user needs to use the electronic pen, they simply remove it from the pen slot 13 and put it back after use. When the device needs to be stored and carried, the mounting case 30 folds over the keyboard component 10, which also serves to limit and protect the electronic pen in the pen slot 13. When using it next time, the user can simply open the folded mounting case 30 to take out the electronic pen. The user does not need to carry the electronic pen separately, which also reduces the risk of losing it.
