[0033] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not construed as requiring them to be performed in a particular order described or illustrated unless the order of performance is explicitly indicated. It should also be understood that additional or alternative steps may be used.

[0034] Although terms such as first, second, third, etc., may be used in this document to describe multiple elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments, these elements, components, regions, layers, and / or segments should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be used only to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, or segment from another.

[0036] Reference Figures 1-7 The first aspect of this utility model provides a flat plate support structure 100, including a keyboard body 10 and a keyboard protective cover 20. The keyboard body 10 is provided with a first shaft 14; the keyboard protective cover 20 is provided with a second shaft 27 and a connecting part 28. The connecting part 28 is used for detachable connection with the flat plate, and the second shaft 27 is detachably rotatably connected to the first shaft 14 to support the flat plate.

[0037] Specifically, the keyboard body 10 is rectangular in shape. Preferably, at least some edges of the keyboard body 10 are rounded to reduce sharpness and improve tactile feedback. The shape and size of the keyboard cover 20 are approximately the same as those of the keyboard body 10. A first axis 14 is provided on the keyboard body 10, and a second axis 27 is provided on the keyboard cover 20. The first axis 14 and the second axis 27 are detachably connected and can be adapted to form a damped hinge. They can rotate relative to each other under a preset external force and can stop rotating and maintain this state after the external force disappears. This allows the keyboard body 10 and the keyboard cover 20 to rotate relative to each other, enabling switching between a folded state and a supported state. In the supported state, it can be detachably connected to a tablet via a connecting part 28 to support the tablet.

[0038] The tablet support structure 100 provided by this utility model consists of a keyboard body 10 and a keyboard protective cover 20. The keyboard body 10 and the keyboard protective cover 20 are detachably rotatably connected by a first shaft 14 on the keyboard body 10 and a second shaft 27 on the keyboard protective cover 20. A connecting part 28 on the keyboard protective cover 20 connects it to a tablet, facilitating the combined use of the tablet and the keyboard body 10, making the keyboard body 10 suitable for different tablet devices. Furthermore, the damping effect of the first shaft creates a usable angle between the keyboard body 10 and the keyboard protective cover 20. This allows the keyboard body 10 and keyboard protective cover 20 to function not only as a stand for the tablet device but also as a protective structure, reducing the corrosion caused by dust and moisture and minimizing impact damage during use. This multi-functional tablet support structure 100 is easy to carry and use, promoting its widespread adoption.

[0039] In some embodiments, one of the first shaft 14 and the second shaft is provided with a plug groove 271 at one end, and the other of the first shaft and the second shaft is provided with a plug post 141 at one end. The first shaft and the second shaft are adapted to be plugged into the plug post 141 through the plug groove 271 and form a friction damping structure.

[0040] Specifically, the length of the first axis is less than or equal to 0.5 of the length of the keyboard body 10, and is specifically located at one end of the keyboard body 10. The length of the second axis is less than or equal to 0.5 of the length of the keyboard protective cover 20, and is specifically located at the other end of the keyboard protective cover 20. One of the opposite ends of the first axis and the second axis forms a insertion groove 271, and the other forms a insertion post 141. The cross-sections of the insertion groove 271 and the insertion post 141 are both circular and approximately the same size. Thus, the first axis and the second axis can be fitted and inserted through the insertion groove 271 and the insertion post 141 to achieve a coaxial rotatable connection and form a friction damping structure, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the keyboard body 10 and the keyboard protective cover 20.

[0041] In some embodiments, one of the insertion slot 271 and the insertion post 141 is provided with a limiting groove 142 in the circumferential direction, and the other of the insertion slot 271 and the insertion post 141 is provided with a limiting block 272 in the circumferential direction. The limiting block 272 can be inserted into the limiting groove 142 when the insertion slot 271 and the insertion post 141 are adapted to be inserted. The limiting block 272 can also rotate within the limiting groove 142 within a limited range.

[0042] Specifically, the sidewall of the insertion groove 271 can be recessed to form a limiting groove 142 or protruded to form a limiting block 272. Both the limiting groove 142 and the limiting block 272 extend to the end face of the insertion groove 271. Correspondingly, the outer wall of the insertion post 141 can also form a corresponding limiting block 272 or limiting groove 142. Thus, the limiting block 272 can be inserted into the limiting groove 142 when the insertion groove 271 and the insertion post 141 are adapted for insertion. The limiting block 272 can also rotate within the limiting groove 142 within a circumferentially limited range.

[0043] The above settings can limit the rotation range of the first axis and the second axis, thereby improving the connection reliability between the keyboard body 10 and the keyboard protective cover 20, and preventing the flat support structure 100 from tipping over due to the failure of the friction damping hinge.

[0044] In some embodiments, the keyboard body 10 has a TYPE-C interface 13 on its side, and the keyboard protective cover 20 has a contact 24 for electrical connection with the tablet, the contact 24 being electrically connected to the keyboard body 10.

[0045] Specifically, the keyboard body 10 can be electrically connected to the tablet via contact 24, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection between the keyboard body 10 and the tablet and reducing operation latency. Furthermore, during use, if the TYPE-C interface 13 of the keyboard body 10 is not connected to an external power source, the tablet supplies power to the keyboard body 10; if the TYPE-C interface 13 of the keyboard body 10 is connected to an external power source, the external power source supplies power to both the keyboard body 10 and the tablet.

[0046] In some embodiments, the contacts are PIN pins.

[0047] In some embodiments, the plug post 141 is provided with an electrical connector, and the plug slot 271 is provided with an electrical connection slot. One of the electrical connector and the electrical connection slot is connected to the TYPE-C interface 13, and the other is connected to the contact 24. The electrical connector can be plugged into the electrical connection slot when the plug slot 271 and the plug post 141 are adapted for plugging.

[0048] Specifically, an electrical connector is provided at the end of the plug-in post 141, and the electrical connector is electrically connected to the TYPE-C interface 13. A rotating member is provided at the bottom of the plug-in slot 271, which can rotate within the plug-in slot 271. An electrical connection groove is provided on the side of the rotating member facing the opening of the plug-in slot 271. The electrical connection groove can be fitted and inserted with the electrical connector when the plug-in slot 271 and the plug-in post 141 are fitted and inserted, and rotates together with the plug-in post 141 when the first shaft 14 and the second shaft 27 rotate relative to each other.

[0049] Furthermore, the end of the rotating component is connected to the insertion slot 271 by a spring, so that the spring's anti-torsional effect can be used to reset the insertion slot 271 when the connection with the electrical connector is disconnected for the next use.

[0050] Furthermore, the electrical connection slot is formed as a TYPE-C interface and is specifically set on the second axis 27 of the keyboard protective cover 20. Thus, when the tablet is connected to the keyboard protective cover through the connecting part, the electrical connection slot can serve as an expansion interface for the tablet, thereby further improving the functionality of the tablet support structure.

[0051] In some embodiments, the keyboard body 10 includes a keyboard assembly 12 and a touchpad 11, with the touchpad 11 disposed at one end away from the second axis 27, and the keyboard assembly 12 disposed between the second axis 27 and the touchpad 11.

[0052] It should be noted that the keyboard assembly 12 and touchpad 11 are designed according to the configuration of most laptops on the market, which is a familiar layout for users, easy to operate, and allows users to get started and adapt to the keyboard configuration more quickly.

[0053] In some embodiments, the keyboard cover 20 includes a first movable plate 21, a second movable plate 22, and a third movable plate 23 arranged side by side. The first movable plate 21 and the second movable plate 22 are connected together by a movable connector 30, and the second movable plate 22 and the third movable plate 23 are connected together by a movable connector 30. A second shaft 27 is disposed on the first movable plate 21, and a connecting part 28 is disposed on the second movable plate 22.

[0054] Of course, in some embodiments, the second movable plate 22 and the third movable plate 23 can also be fixedly connected, in which case the second movable plate 22 and the third movable plate 23 are arranged on the same plane.

[0055] The movable connector 30 is a damped pivot. The first movable plate 21, the second movable plate 22, and the third movable plate 23 are connected by the movable connector 30, allowing for free rotation. This not only facilitates adjustment of the plate support position but also enables two plate support states. In one support state, the second movable plate 22 and the third movable plate 23 are on the same plane, with the plate adhering to the second movable plate 22. The cross-section of the plate, the first support member, and the keyboard body 10 forms a stable triangular structure. In the other support state, the third movable plate 23 is folded relative to the second movable plate 22, so that the cross-sections of the third movable plate 23, the second movable plate 22, and the first movable plate 21 are arranged in a U-shape. Simultaneously, the edge of the third movable plate 23 adheres to the platform, and the plate is placed against the second movable plate 22.

[0056] In some embodiments, the movable connector 30 includes a first sleeve and a second sleeve, which are rotatably connected by a rotating shaft assembly. The rotating shaft assembly includes a support shaft 331 and an elastic member 332, a first limiting member 333, and a second limiting member 334 sequentially mounted on the support shaft 331. The two ends of the support shaft 331 are located inside the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32, respectively, and are rotatably connected to the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32, respectively. One end of the elastic member 332 is connected to the first sleeve 31, and the other end of the elastic member 332 is connected to the limiting member. The second limiting member 334 is connected to the second sleeve 32. The opposite end faces of the first limiting member 333 and the second limiting member 334 are provided with rotatably adapted limiting bosses.

[0057] Specifically, the outer periphery of the first sleeve 31 has an integrally formed connecting plate with threaded holes. The first sleeve 31 is connected to the edge of the first movable plate 21 or the second movable plate 22 via a threaded connector passing through the threaded holes. Correspondingly, the outer periphery of the second sleeve 32 also has an integrally formed connecting plate with threaded holes. The second sleeve 32 is connected to the edge of the second movable plate 22 or the third movable plate 23 via a threaded connector passing through its threaded holes. One end of the rotating shaft assembly 33 is inserted into the first sleeve 31, and the other end is inserted into the second sleeve 32, so that both the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32 have relative rotational capability, thus realizing the rotational connection between the first movable plate 21 and the second movable plate 22, and the rotational connection between the second movable plate 22 and the third movable plate.

[0058] In this embodiment, there are two first sleeves 31 and one second sleeve 32, with the second sleeve 32 positioned between the two first sleeves 31. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of first sleeves 31 and second sleeves 32 may be one.

[0059] Reference Figures 8-9In some embodiments, in the rotating shaft assembly 33, the two ends of the support shaft 331 are respectively located inside the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32, and are defined with the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32 by a connecting member, thereby connecting the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32 into one unit, and the support member can rotate relative to the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32. The elastic member 332, the first limiting member 333 and the second limiting member 334 are sequentially sleeved on the support shaft 331, and the end of the elastic member 332 away from the first limiting member 333 is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 31, the end of the second limiting member 334 away from the first limiting member 333 is fixedly connected to the second sleeve 32, the end of the first limiting member 333 near the elastic member 332 is fixedly connected to the elastic member 332, and the end of the first limiting member 333 near the second limiting member 334 is provided with a limiting boss, which is rotatably adapted to the limiting boss at the end of the second limiting member 334. In this way, by setting the torque and rotational force generated by the movable chamber of the elastic element 332, the function of light torque value when opening and heavy torque value when closing can be achieved. At the same time, the elastic element 332 also has axial extension and retraction characteristics. In this way, during the rotation process, the relative rotation of the first limiting element 333 and the second limiting element 334 can be achieved by the force extension and retraction of the elastic element 332, thereby realizing the rotational limiting and self-locking functions of the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32.

[0060] In some embodiments, the elastic element 332 is a torsion spring or a disc spring.

[0061] Reference Figure 10 In some embodiments, the second limiting member 334 and the second sleeve 32 are integrally formed. This further simplifies the structure of the flat plate support structure.

[0062] In an alternative embodiment, the rotating shaft assembly 33 includes a support shaft 331, with both ends of the support shaft 331 located inside the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32, respectively, and forming a friction damping structure with the first sleeve 31 and the second sleeve 32, respectively.

[0063] In some embodiments, the keyboard cover 20 includes only a first movable plate and a second movable plate arranged side by side, the first movable plate and the second movable plate being connected together by a movable connector 30, the first movable plate being connected to the keyboard body 10, and the connecting part being disposed on the second movable plate.

[0064] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 28 includes a magnetic array built into the second movable plate 22. Thus, the tablet can be magnetically connected to the second movable plate 22 and supported within the tablet support structure 100. The magnetic connection method is simple and convenient, facilitating tablet position adjustment and improving the user experience.

[0065] In some embodiments, the keyboard cover 20 includes an integrated backplate 26, and the connecting portion includes a snap-fit ​​member disposed on the outer periphery of the integrated backplate 26 for snap-fit ​​connection with a tablet. This allows the tablet to be attached to the integrated backplate 26 using the snap-fit ​​member. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​member can not only be used to snap-fit ​​the tablet but also to snap-fit ​​the protective case covering the tablet, thus avoiding the need to remove the protective case during use, further facilitating user operation and improving the user experience.

[0066] In some embodiments, the keyboard cover 20 has an opening 25 adapted to avoid obstructing the tablet's camera. The opening 25 is larger than the camera and can accommodate the camera within it. This embodiment, by providing the opening 25, reduces interference when the keyboard cover 20 is connected to the tablet, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0067] The second aspect of this utility model also provides a tablet computer, which is adapted to the tablet support structure 100 of any of the above.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
