Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective case technology, specifically to a tablet computer protective case. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of tablets in mobile work, education, and entertainment, users are placing higher demands on the protective capabilities, portability, and multi-scenario adaptability of their peripheral accessories. Traditional tablet cases are typically made of a single material (such as TPU soft rubber or PC hard shell). While these offer some protection against physical damage such as drops and scratches, they have several shortcomings. For example, purely soft shells have limited impact resistance and are prone to deformation under prolonged stress, leading to loosening between the shell and the tablet. Purely hard shells, while providing good support, lack cushioning, allowing the impact force to be directly transferred to the tablet during drops, resulting in poor protection. Furthermore, they often lack integrated handles, stands, or other accessories. When users need to hold or support their tablets for extended periods in mobile work or outdoor settings, they must carry additional stands or wrist straps, which take up space and cause inconvenience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tablet computer protective case with a reasonable structural design, good protective effect, and convenient use.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A tablet computer protective case includes a hard shell, a hard front shell, a soft back shell, a handle, and legs. The hard shell is located inside the soft back shell and is fixed in place by a snap-fit ​​structure. The hard front shell covers the soft back shell and forms a cavity for holding the tablet computer. The edges of the hard shell are provided with upward-folding hooks and outward-folding hooks. The edges of the soft back shell are provided with upper flaps that fit with the upward-folding hooks and inner flaps that hook onto the edges of the hard shell. The edges of the hard front shell are provided with inner flaps that fit with the outward-folding hooks. The back of the hard shell has a storage cavity that fits the outline of the handle. The soft back shell has an opening that exposes the storage cavity. The handle is movably disposed within the storage cavity and can be flipped out of the opening and positioned and supported by the legs.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cavity wall of the storage cavity is provided with a sliding groove, the end of the handle is provided with a sliding shaft that can slide within the sliding groove, the bottom surface of the storage cavity is provided with several positioning slots that are adapted to the end of the handle, one end of the support leg is hinged to the bottom surface of the storage cavity, and the other end is hinged to the back of the handle. It is simple and convenient to use.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the back of the handle is provided with a recess that matches the outline of the support leg. When folded, the support leg can be retracted into the handle, reducing the space occupied.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the soft back shell is provided with a plurality of tenons, and the hard shell is provided with mortises that fit the tenons. The interference fit between the tenons and the mortises secures the hard shell within the soft back shell, ensuring a tight fit and preventing it from easily loosening.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the hard outer shell is provided with a pen slot. The stylus is inserted into the slot by the elastic deformation of the PC material. The hard outer shell and the soft back shell have clearance grooves corresponding to the pen slot to prevent interference.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner surface of the rigid shell is provided with a 0.5-1mm thick EVA sponge sticker to form a flexible pad. After the tablet is inserted, the EVA sponge sticker rebounds and fills the micro gap between the rigid shell and the tablet, absorbing manufacturing tolerances, resulting in a good fit. Moreover, it can provide secondary cushioning during drops, improving the protection effect.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the rigid shell and the rigid face shell are PC shells, which provide rigid protection, are not easily deformed, extend service life, and can be transparent or dyed to meet appearance requirements.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the soft back shell is a silicone shell, which is both flexible and non-slip, absorbs impact when dropped, and has a good protective effect.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The structure of this utility model is reasonably designed. The rigid shell, rigid front shell, and soft back shell are interlocked to form a cavity for holding the tablet computer. The tablet computer is rigidly supported by the rigid shell and rigid front shell, and is cushioned by the soft back shell. When it falls, the impact force is first absorbed by the soft back shell and then dispersed by the rigid shell, forming a rigid-flexible composite structure with good protection. It also has a handle, which makes it convenient for users to carry and use. At the same time, the handle and the support legs cooperate to form a triangular support structure, realizing the function of supporting the tablet computer. In addition, when not in use, the handle and the support legs can be retracted into the storage cavity to reduce the space occupied.
