Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tablet computer structural design technology, and in particular to a waterproof cover for a connection port. Background Technology
[0002] The connection ports of laptops or tablets are used to communicate with external storage devices. In some work fields, such as water conservancy and waterproofing, they are often in contact with water. Therefore, these tablets or computers need to have waterproof protection for their connection ports. Existing waterproof protection structures use handles to open and close the port covers. During use, the handles are easy to break when opened, and they are also easy to fall off when the handles are severely worn at the point of interference with the shell, which is not very reliable. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This utility model provides a waterproof cover for the connection port, which aims to solve the problem of poor reliability of existing waterproof structures and easy damage to the tablet computer shell.
[0004] This utility model provides a waterproof cover for a connection port, including a bottom shell, a rear shell, and a door cover. The rear shell is connected to the top of the bottom shell. The side of the bottom shell is provided with a port groove for placing the connection port. The rear shell is provided with a tooth, which is located in the port groove. The front end of the door cover is located at the connection port, and the rear end of the door cover is inserted into the tooth.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the door cover includes a fixing part and a cover plate. The cover plate is connected to one end of the fixing part. The fixing part is engaged with the insert tooth. The cover plate rotates relative to one end of the fixing part.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fixing part is provided with a fixing strip, and the fixing strip is provided with a plurality of insertion holes, which are engaged with the insertion teeth.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the fixing part is also provided with a reinforcing plate, which is set close to the port groove.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the front end of the cover plate is provided with a protruding actuating element.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the door cover is made of silicone and TPU.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the bottom shell and the rear shell are made of aluminum alloy.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the waterproof cover design adopts a combination of soft and hard rubber, with an opening feature on the top of the soft rubber, which cooperates with the corresponding teeth of the back shell for connection. This design improves assembly efficiency and makes the fixation more secure and less likely to fall off; it greatly improves the user experience, convenience and reliability.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.
[0016] This utility model provides a waterproof cover for a connection port, including a bottom shell 1, a rear shell 2, and a door cover 6. The rear shell 2 is connected to the top of the bottom shell 1. The side of the bottom shell 1 is provided with a port groove 4 for placing the connection port 5. The rear shell 2 is provided with a tooth 3, which is located in the port groove 4. The front end of the door cover 6 is located at the connection port 5, and the rear end of the door cover 6 is inserted into the tooth 3.
[0017] As an embodiment of the present utility model, the door cover 6 includes a fixing part 60 and a cover plate 61. The cover plate 61 is connected to one end of the fixing part 60. The fixing part 60 is engaged with the insert tooth 3. The cover plate 61 rotates relative to one end of the fixing part 60.
[0018] In another embodiment of this utility model, the fixing part 60 is provided with a fixing strip 62, and the fixing strip 62 is provided with a plurality of insertion holes 63, which are connected to the insertion teeth 3.
[0019] In another embodiment of the present invention, the fixing part 60 is further provided with a reinforcing plate 64, which is disposed close to the port groove 4.
[0020] In another embodiment of the present invention, the front end of the cover plate 61 is provided with a protruding actuating member 65.
[0021] In another embodiment of this utility model, the door cover 6 is made of silicone and TPU. The combination of soft and hard adhesives makes the door cover 6 both stable and easy to open and close.
[0022] In another embodiment of this utility model, the bottom shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are made of aluminum alloy.
[0023] This utility model provides a waterproof cover for a connection port. The waterproof cover is designed with a combination of soft and hard rubber. The top of the soft rubber has an opening feature that engages with the corresponding teeth on the back shell for connection. This design improves assembly efficiency and makes the fixation more secure and less likely to fall off. It greatly enhances the user experience, convenience and reliability.
[0024] During assembly, the bottom shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are first fixed with screws. After connection, the insert teeth 3 of the rear shell 2 will extend into the port groove 4, but will not block the connection port 5. The fixing part 60 of the door cover 6 is then inserted into the port groove 4, and the insertion hole 63 on the fixing strip 62 is engaged with the insert teeth 3. The reinforcing plate 64 will contact the groove surface of the port groove 4 to provide reinforcement support. The cover plate 61 will then cover the connection port 5 to prevent external water from entering. When needed, the actuating element 65 on the cover plate 61 is manually moved, and the cover plate 61 will rotate around one end of the fixing part 60 to open, allowing the connection port 5 to communicate with the outside. After use, pressing the cover plate 61 to reset it will then cover the connection port 5, providing a waterproof effect.
[0025] This design incorporates insert teeth 3 at the corresponding opening positions of the soft rubber on the door cover. The size of the insert teeth 3 is defined according to the size of the soft rubber opening on the door cover (0.2mm smaller on each side than the opening size). The door cover 6 will not be pulled off during use. This design improves assembly efficiency and makes the fixation more secure.
[0026] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
