The tablet computer charging connection terminal 35 is electrically connected to the power connection terminal 36 and is used to electrically connect the tablet computer, so that the electrical energy from the power supply can be transmitted through the power supply. The power supply connection 36 and the tablet charging connection 35 transmit power to the tablet computer; the keyboard charging pin 31 includes a first charging pin segment 32, a second charging pin segment 33 and a third charging pin segment 34; the first charging pin segment 32 and the second charging pin segment 33 are arranged opposite to each other, and the third charging pin segment 34 is arranged between the first charging pin segment 32 and the second charging pin segment 33; the flip cover 40 is provided with a plug interface 41 for the second charging pin segment 33 to be inserted; the keyboard charging pin 31 is used to electrically connect to the keyboard body 10, and the keyboard charging pin 31 is electrically connected to the power supply connection 36, so that the power of the power supply can be transmitted to the keyboard body 10 through the power supply connection 36 and the keyboard charging pin 31.

[0028] In use, the power connector 36 can be connected to an external power source, allowing electrical energy to be transferred to the keyboard body 10 via the power connector 36 and the keyboard charging pin 31 to charge the keyboard body 10. When charging the tablet computer, the keyboard charging pin 31 can be removed from the connector 41, separating the charging head 30 from the protection device 20. Then, the tablet computer charging connector 35 can be electrically connected to the tablet computer, and the power connector 36 can be connected to an external power source, allowing electrical energy to be transferred to the tablet computer via the power connector 36 and the tablet computer charging connector 35 to charge the tablet computer. After charging the tablet computer is complete, the power connector 36 and the tablet computer charging connector 35 can be separated from the power source. The second charging pin 33 of the keyboard charging pin 31 can then be inserted into the connector 41. Once the second charging pin 33 is in place, the charging head 30 magnetically attaches to the flip cover 40, improving the stability of the connection between the charging head 30 and the protection device 20 and preventing the charging head 30 from falling off. Therefore, the keyboard device provided by this utility model, based on the charging head 30 using keyboard charging pins 31, tablet charging connection end 35, and power connection end 36, optimizes the structure of the keyboard charging pins 31 by combining the first charging pin segment 32, the second charging pin segment 33, and the third charging pin segment 34. This allows the keyboard charging pins 31 to be plugged into the interface 41 of the flip cover 40, preventing the charging head 30 from shifting due to vibration during carrying. While magnetically attaching the charging head 30 to the flip cover 40, it ensures the stability of the charging head 30 connection, preventing it from falling off. Furthermore, the structure is simple, easy to manufacture, and simplifies processing steps. Therefore, compared with existing keyboard devices using locking sockets, it can reduce costs. Moreover, it facilitates connection operations and can charge the tablet and keyboard body 10 separately, improving ease of use.

[0029] The first charging pin segment 32 is electrically connected to the power connection terminal 36; the length of the second charging pin segment 33 is greater than the length of the first charging pin segment 32.
