Description

Quick opening and closing waterproof and dustproof cover for electronic device connection

The present invention relates to a waterproof and dustproof cover, and more particularly, it can be a quick opening and closing waterproof and dustproof cover for an electronic device connection.

With the development of information and the advancement of computer technology, the application of computer systems has become increasingly diverse. In order to expand the functions of the computer system and adapt to the different needs of each user, a variety of external devices for computer systems have emerged. For example, an external hard disk or a portable storage device can expand the limited memory capacity of the computer system; the external optical disk drive can expand the multimedia resource access function of the computer system; or it can be connected by a network route. External network to achieve access to information and web browsing.

Due to the rapid advancement of electronic technology, portable notebook computers or tablet computers have become the mainstream of current personal computer devices because of their high mobility and convenience. A typical notebook computer or a portable electronic device, such as a tablet computer or a smart phone. The chassis of the electronic device is usually provided with a plurality of connectors and jacks through which the external connection can be plugged. The device and the host computer access data, and the jacks can be connected to the input or output devices around the computer.

In order to prevent foreign objects such as water droplets and dust from entering the ports and jacks, thereby affecting the access of data, the outer casing of a conventional notebook or tablet computer may be pivotally connected or provided with a hook. Design dust cover (or even no protective cover design at all), use these ports or jacks by opening or removing the dust cover, and put or cover the waterproof dust cover when not using the above electronic device. To prevent the connection and the jack from being exposed.

When the above-mentioned notebook computer, tablet computer, or smart phone is used in a harsh external environment, for example, a military computer or an electronic device that is used for a long time in the field, the construction site, the battlefield, and the like.
