[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, smart home products are becoming more and more popular. Among them, smart light mirrors (or magic mirrors) are loved by the majority of users because they combine multiple functions such as lighting, entertainment, and information interaction. At present, the smart light mirrors on the market need to install electronic devices when realizing functions such as listening to music, watching movies, and playing games. During the installation process of these electronic devices, the design of the waterproof structure is very important. The existing waterproof structure usually adopts the method of plastic parts + silicone rings. Although this method can play a waterproof role to a certain extent, it has obvious defects.

[0003] First of all, the waterproof method of plastic parts + silicone rings requires a plastic mold. Mold manufacturing is not only costly, but also has a long manufacturing cycle, which is not conducive to the rapid iteration and upgrading of products. In addition, as the functions of products continue to increase, the required electronic settings will also increase accordingly, which often leads to changes in product size. Once the size changes, the original plastic waterproof structure is often not applicable and needs to be re-molded, which undoubtedly increases manufacturing costs and time costs.

[0004] Secondly, the waterproofing method of plastic parts + silicone rings has low compatibility. Due to the large differences in size, structure, etc. between different products, it is difficult to achieve universality of waterproof structures. This leads to the need to design and manufacture different waterproof structures when producing different models of smart light mirrors, further increasing manufacturing costs and complexity.

[0005] It can be seen that the existing intelligent light mirror waterproof structure has problems such as high cost and low compatibility, and a new waterproof structure is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
