Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tablet computer technology, and in particular to a tablet computer with a plug protection function. Background Technology

[0002] When tablet computer ports are exposed to the external environment, they are easily damaged by dust accumulation, liquid seepage, or foreign objects, leading to poor charging contact, data transmission interruption, or even permanent motherboard failure.

[0003] In existing socket protection technologies, external dust plugs rely on manual insertion and removal, which can lead to easy loss and wear and tear on the interface due to repeated insertion and removal. Electric sliding door structures require built-in motors / sensors, resulting in increased frame thickness, higher power consumption, and a high risk of circuit failure. Furthermore, traditional flip-top protective compartments are prone to breakage due to the hinge protruding from the frame surface, and the sealing strips become waterproof after aging. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a tablet computer with a port protection function. The flexible rubber strip embedded in the second slot on the middle frame is rigidly transmitted to the sealing plate through the connecting rod, so that the sealing plate can move in the first slot, realizing pure mechanical linkage and realizing the closing or opening of the Type-C port.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a tablet computer with a plug protection function, comprising a tablet computer body, a plug protection component installed on the tablet computer body, the tablet computer body including a tablet computer component, the tablet computer component installed on the inner side of the middle frame, a screen assembly and a back panel respectively connected to the two sides of the middle frame, a Type-C port is provided on the middle frame opposite to the Type-C port of the tablet computer component, a first slot is provided on the inner side of the middle frame corresponding to the Type-C port, and a second slot is provided on the inner side of one side of the middle frame where the first slot is located;

[0006] The socket protection assembly includes a flexible rubber strip disposed within a second slot. A connecting rod is connected to the flexible rubber strip located inside the second slot. A sealing plate is connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the flexible rubber strip. The sealing plate is slidably disposed within a first slot. The flexible rubber strip is fitted into a first recess, which is formed on a first cover plate. The first cover plate is engaged within the second slot. The end of the connecting rod connected to the sealing plate is slidably disposed within the second recess, which is formed on a second cover plate. The second cover plate is engaged with the first slot.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the flexible rubber strip is provided with shafts at both ends, and a filling tube is filled in the middle of the flexible rubber strip. The two ends of the shafts are fixedly engaged with the second slot.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, when the cover plate one is snapped into the slot two, the surface of the cover plate one does not protrude from the inner side of the middle frame.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, when the second cover plate is engaged in the first slot, the surface of the second cover plate does not protrude from the inner side of the middle frame.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, both the first groove and the second groove are provided with a groove for the connecting rod.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the flexible rubber strip away from the connecting rod protrudes from the outer side of the middle frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention utilizes a flexible rubber strip embedded in a slot two on the middle frame, which is rigidly transmitted to the sealing plate via a connecting rod. This allows the sealing plate to move within slot one, achieving purely mechanical linkage to close or open the Type-C port. The flexible rubber strip has an internal filling tube to enhance its pressure resistance and prevent operational dents. Cover plate one and cover plate two respectively fix the flexible rubber strip and guide the sealing plate, ensuring stable movement trajectories of the flexible rubber strip and the sealing plate without increasing the internal space occupied by the middle frame. This invention achieves a physical barrier effect through the precisely machined slot gap and the flexible rubber strip. Furthermore, the port protection component does not rely on electronic components, which is significantly superior to the use and effect of external dust plugs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a tablet computer with a port protection function, including a tablet computer body 1, a port protection component 2 installed on the tablet computer body 1, the tablet computer body 1 including a tablet computer component 11, the tablet computer component 11 installed inside the middle frame 12, the screen assembly 14 and the back panel 15 are respectively connected to the two sides of the middle frame 12, and a Type-C port 13 is opened on the middle frame 12 opposite to the Type-C port of the tablet computer component 11. This part contains the main components of the tablet computer.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a slot 16 is provided on the inner side of the middle frame 12 corresponding to the Type-C port 13, and a slot 2 17 is provided on the inner side of one side of the middle frame 12 where the slot 16 is located. The slot 16 and the slot 2 17 provide space for the installation of the socket protection component 2, and can be processed by laser micro-engraving.

[0027] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the socket protection component 2 includes a flexible rubber strip 21. The side of the flexible rubber strip 21 away from the connecting rod 24 protrudes from the outer side of the middle frame 12. The connecting rod 24 is connected to the flexible rubber strip 21 located inside the slot 17. A sealing plate 25 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 24 away from the flexible rubber strip 21. The sealing plate 25 is slidably disposed in the slot 16. In this design, since the flexible rubber strip 21 is made of flexible material, the flexible rubber strip 21 can rotate in place. When the flexible rubber strip 21 rotates, it can drive the sealing plate 25 to move in the slot 16 through the connecting rod 24, thereby completing the sealing and opening of the Type-C port 13, thus achieving the protection effect of the Type-C socket on the tablet computer component 11.

[0028] The flexible rubber strip 21 is fitted into the groove 26, which is opened on the cover plate 27. The cover plate 27 is snapped into the slot 17. When the cover plate 27 is snapped into the slot 17, the surface of the cover plate 27 does not protrude from the inner side of the middle frame 12. The groove 26 in this design is used to further limit the flexible rubber strip 21 so that it can maintain a stable movement trajectory during movement. The design of the cover plate 27 can fix the flexible rubber strip 21 without affecting the connection and installation of the tablet computer component 11 inside the middle frame 12.

[0029] Furthermore, the end of the connecting rod 24 connected to the sealing plate 25 is slidably disposed in the second groove 28. Both the first groove 26 and the second groove 28 are provided with a receiving groove for the connecting rod 24. The second groove 28 is opened on the second cover plate 29. The second cover plate 29 is engaged with the first slot 16. When the second cover plate 29 is engaged in the first slot 16, the surface of the second cover plate 29 does not protrude from the inner side of the middle frame 12. In this design, the second groove 28 can limit the movement of the sealing plate 25 so that it can maintain a stable movement trajectory. Moreover, the design of the second cover plate 29 can limit the sealing plate 25 without affecting the connection and installation of the middle frame 12 to the internal tablet computer component 11.

[0030] Furthermore, the flexible rubber band 21 is set in the second slot 17, and the two ends of the flexible rubber band 21 are provided with shafts 22. The middle of the flexible rubber band 21 is filled with a filling tube 23. The two ends of the shafts 22 are fixedly engaged with the second slot 17. This design allows the flexible rubber band 21 to be fixed in the second slot 17. Combined with the design that the flexible rubber band 21 protrudes from the second slot 17, the user can move the connecting rod 24 by rubbing the flexible rubber band 21, so that the connecting rod 24 can push the sealing plate 25 away from the Type-C port 13. The filling tube 23 in the middle of the flexible rubber band 21 can provide support for the flexible rubber band 21, which can prevent the flexible rubber band 21 from sinking into the second slot 17 when the user rubs it by hand.

[0031] In this embodiment, the flexible rubber strip 21 embedded in the slot 2 17 opened in the middle frame 12 serves as the driving source. The part of the flexible rubber strip 21 protruding from the surface of the middle frame 12 receives the rubbing force of the fingers. The elastic deformation of the flexible rubber strip 21 is converted into linear motion through the rigid connecting rod 24, which in turn pushes the sealing plate 25 to slide along a linear trajectory in the slot 1 16, realizing the physical opening and closing of the Type-C port 13. The filling tube 23 inside the flexible rubber strip 21 provides pressure resistance support to ensure that the strip does not collapse when rubbing. The cover plate 1 27 and cover plate 29 constrain the deformation path of the flexible rubber strip 21 and the movement direction of the sealing plate 25 through the slot 1 26 and slot 2 28, respectively, so that the flexible transmission is converted into precise rigid displacement. This design makes the entire transmission system rely on the pure mechanical deformation of the rubber and the coupling of the rigid components to form a closed physical barrier under the precision machining of the slot gap.

[0032] Working principle:

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in use, the flexible rubber strip 21 is deformed in the slot 2 17 by hand-rubbing. When the flexible rubber strip 21 deforms, the connection point between it and the connecting rod 24 will also be displaced, thereby causing the sealing plate 25 to move linearly in the slot 1 16, thus closing or opening the Type-C port 13.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
