Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sealing equipment, and in particular to an electronic component sealing assembly and an underwater booster. Background Art

[0002] The underwater sealing structure is a key design in underwater entertainment equipment. Its performance directly determines the performance and effect of the whole machine. The main components of the underwater sealing structure in the prior art include soft materials, pressed end faces and pressed methods. As a key design, the pressed method determines the convenience and reliability of operation. At present, most of the consumer products on the market use end face or radial sealing methods. This form ensures the reliability of underwater sealing, but loses the convenience of operation, resulting in cumbersome operation and poor user experience.

[0003] A typical end face sealing structure includes a sealing body, which has a sealing cavity with an opening facing upwards, and a soft material and screw holes are arranged on the edge of the sealing cavity opening. In the use of this structure, the device to be sealed is installed in the sealing cavity, and an end cover is required to cover the end face of the sealing cavity, and the end cover is fastened to the end face of the sealing cavity by passing the screws through the corresponding screw holes with a screwdriver, thereby achieving packaging. However, there are many problems, such as,

[0004] 1. Screw pressing requires professional operation, but it cannot be guaranteed that every user will operate correctly.

[0005] 2. The assembly time is long.

[0006] 3. It needs to be disassembled using tools (e.g., screwdriver), and cannot be used for frequent disassembly. Summary of the invention

[0007] The embodiments of the present invention provide an electronic component sealing assembly and an underwater booster, which are used to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0008] In one aspect, the present invention provides an electronic component sealing assembly, characterized in that it comprises: a sealing seat and a sealing cover for mounting the electronic component,

[0009] The sealing seat is provided with an installation chamber with a top opening for accommodating the sealing housing, and the volume and shape of the installation chamber are adapted to the sealing housing;

[0010] A first connecting channel is provided at the left end of the sealing housing;

[0011] The left end of the installation bin is provided with a second connection channel and a sealing gasket surrounding the second connection channel, and the right end is provided with an elastic latch;

[0012] When the sealing cover is installed in the installation bin, the elastic latch abuts against the right end of the sealing cover and is in a transverse compression position. At this time, the first connecting channel and the second connecting channel are aligned and sealed and connected through the sealing gasket.

[0013] The elastic latch also forms a right side stopper to prevent the sealing cover from vertically disengaging from the installation bin.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sealing seat is provided with a left stopper at the upper portion of the left end of the installation bin to prevent the sealing cover shell from vertically detaching from the installation bin.

[0015] In some embodiments, the left stopper includes a positioning groove opening downward.

[0016] A positioning rib matching the positioning groove is arranged on the upper portion of the left end of the sealing cover shell. When the positioning rib is accommodated in the positioning groove, a pivot is formed for pivotally mounting the sealing cover shell relative to the sealing seat.

[0017] In some embodiments, a limiting portion is provided on the right side of the main body of the sealing cover shell. During the installation of the sealing cover shell into the installation bin, the end of the elastic latch abuts against the limiting portion, and the elastic latch changes from the extended position to the tensioned and retracted position; when the sealing cover shell is installed in the installation bin, the elastic latch partially returns from the tensioned and retracted position to the lateral compression position.

[0018] In some embodiments, the body of the sealing housing has a first height, the limiting portion is a slope extending to the right and has a second height, and the first height is greater than the second height.

[0019] During the installation of the sealing cover into the installation bin, the end of the elastic latch is gradually tightened along the slope;

[0020] When the sealing cover is installed in the installation bin, the elastic locking latch rises above the second height to form the right stopper located above the limiting portion.

[0021] In some embodiments, the right side wall of the installation bin has an inclined surface matching the slope.

[0022] In some embodiments, the limiting portion includes: a protrusion located at the lower right side of the body of the sealing housing, and a recess adjacent to the protrusion;

[0023] During the installation of the sealing cover into the installation bin, the end of the elastic latch rises along the protrusion into a tensioned and retracted position;

[0024] When the sealing cover is installed in the installation bin, the elastic locking latch rises over the protrusion and enters the recess.

[0025] In some embodiments, the limiting portion further includes a second protrusion adjacent to the recess.

[0026] In some embodiments, a manual operating component is provided on the elastic latch.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electronic components include a battery and / or an electronic circuit.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first channel and the second channel are used to guide power or signal transmission elements.

[0029] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention further provides an underwater booster, which includes a cabin, and the electronic components in the cabin are configured with any of the electronic component sealing assemblies described above.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, one end face of the installation bin of the sealing seat is used as the end face of the sealing cover shell for sealing installation, and an elastic locking latch for squeezing the sealing cover shell is arranged on the other end face of the installation bin, thereby eliminating the trouble of using an upper end cover in combination with multiple screws and the need for installation tools, and facilitating the disassembly and assembly operations.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include" and "comprise" include not only those elements, but also other elements that are not explicitly listed, or also include elements inherent to such processes, methods, articles or equipment. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the statement "include..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or equipment that includes the elements.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the present invention, comprising a sealing seat 100, the sealing seat 100 is provided with an installation chamber 110 with an opening facing upward for installing the sealing cover 200, and the left end 111 of the installation chamber 110 (the orientation description involved in this application is based on the corresponding Figure 1 The relative position relationship shown is for reference only) a sealing gasket 1111 is provided for sealing the first connecting channel 210 of the sealing cover shell 200; in addition, when the sealing cover shell 200 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, its five faces are all sealed, and only one face has a first connecting channel 210 opened for connection with an external device (electrical connection or communication connection).

[0042] A second connecting channel 1112 connecting the sealed cover shell 200 is provided at a position on the left end 111 of the installation bin 110 corresponding to the first connecting channel 210 of the sealed cover shell 200; the second connecting channel 1112 is connected to the first connecting channel 210 of the sealed cover shell, thereby enabling communication between the sealed cover shell 200 and the external bin body (for example, the other end of the second connecting channel 1112 is also connected to another sealed cover shell), thereby enabling sealed communication between the sealed cabin bodies.

[0043] The right end 112 of the installation bin 110 is provided with an elastic latch 113 for locking the sealing cover shell. When the sealing cover shell 200 is installed in the installation bin 110, the elastic latch 113 is laterally abutted against the right end of the sealing cover shell 200 and is in a laterally clamped position. At this time, the first connecting channel 210 and the second connecting channel 1112 are aligned and sealed and connected through the sealing gasket 1111. The elastic latch 113 also constitutes a right-side stopper to prevent the sealing cover shell 200 from vertically detaching from the installation bin 110.

[0044] In the embodiment of the present invention, one end face of the installation chamber 110 of the sealing seat 100 is used as the end face of the sealing housing 200 for sealing and installation, and an elastic latch for squeezing the sealing housing is provided on the other end face of the installation chamber, thereby eliminating the trouble of using an upper end cover in combination with multiple screws and requiring installation tools. The sealing seat provided by the present invention can be applied to underwater boosters or other electronic devices that require sealing isolation, for example, various application scenarios that require sealing isolation, such as high and low temperatures, high and low air pressures, etc.

[0045] The shape of the installation bin 110 in the embodiment of the present invention is adapted to the shape of the sealing cover shell 200 to be installed. For example, when the sealing cover shell is in a cubic (or cylindrical) shape, the shape of the corresponding installation bin is set to a rectangular bin body that can accommodate the sealing cover shell (or the bottom is set to a bin body with an arc-shaped recess to adapt to the cylindrical sealing cover shell, so that the cylindrical sealing cover shell can fully contact with the installation bin and be stably installed). The sealing cover shell is a battery or other sealing cover shell for sealing electronic circuits; the following embodiments of the present invention are described by taking a rectangular sealing cover shell as an example.

[0046] The elastic latch 113 in the embodiment of the present invention has a locked state and a released state, wherein Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the elastic latch 113 is in a locked state, at which time the sealing housing 200 is locked in the sealing seat, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in , the elastic latch 113 is in a released state. When the elastic latch 113 is in a released state, the sealing housing 200 can be disassembled and assembled; when the elastic latch 113 is in a locked state, the elastic latch 113 applies a squeezing force to the right end of the sealing housing 200 so that the opening of the sealing housing 200 cooperates with the sealing gasket 1111 to achieve sealing.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic latch 113 includes: a locking pin 1131 installed on the right end of the installation bin and capable of being extended and retracted in the horizontal direction; a spring 1132 used in conjunction with the locking pin 1131, when the spring 1132 is in a first compression state, the elastic latch 113 is in a released state; when the spring 1132 is in a second compression state, the elastic latch 113 is in a locked state; wherein the compression degree of the first compression state is greater than the compression degree of the second compression state. A paddle for controlling the elastic latch 113 to switch the working state is connected to the locking pin 1131, when the user paddles the paddle to the outside direction (from the first end to the second end), the elastic latch 113 switches to the released state, at which time, the sealing shell can be disassembled and assembled; when the user releases the paddle, under the elastic force of the spring 1132, the locking pin 1131 extends toward the sealing shell 200 to squeeze the sealing shell 200.

[0048] In addition, a limiting portion 220 (which may be a groove or a protrusion provided on the end surface of the sealing cover shell 200) is provided at the right end of the sealing cover shell 200 and cooperates with the locking pin 1131. When the sealing cover shell 200 is installed into the installation bin, the end of the elastic latch 113 abuts against the limiting portion 220, and the elastic latch 113 changes from the extended position to the tensioned retracted position; when the sealing cover shell 200 is installed in the installation bin 110, the elastic latch 113 partially returns from the tensioned retracted position to the said lateral compression position.

[0049] For example, the body of the sealing housing 200 has a first height, the limiting portion 220 is a slope extending to the right and has a second height, the first height is greater than the second height, and during the sealing housing 200 is installed into the installation bin 110, the end of the elastic latch 113 rises along the slope and is gradually tightened;

[0050] When the sealing housing 200 is installed in the installation chamber 110, the elastic latch 113 rises above the second height to form a right stopper located above the limiting portion 220. The right side wall of the installation chamber 110 has an inclined surface matching the slope.

[0051] Specifically, when the locking pin 1131 squeezes the sealing cover shell 200, the locking pin 1131 cooperates with the limiting portion 220 (groove or protrusion) to limit the sealing cover shell 200 from falling off the sealing seat 100. Even if it is hit violently, the sealing cover shell 200 can be kept from falling off. The sealing cover shell 200 can be firmly locked without relying solely on the squeezing force of the locking pin 1131 on the sealing cover shell 200. In addition, since there is no need for excessive squeezing force, the pressure of the sealing cover shell 200 on the sealing gasket 1111 can also be appropriately set, and the service life of the sealing gasket will not be reduced due to the need to lock the sealing cover shell 200 and excessive squeezing.

[0052] In some embodiments, the elastic latch 113 includes: a screw rod penetrating the second end of the installation bin of the installation bin 110, the screw rod direction being along the direction from the first end of the sealing housing to the second end of the sealing housing; and a pressing panel disposed on the end of the screw rod facing the sealing housing. When the screw rod is in the first position, the tail end of the sealing housing is pressed; when the screw rod is in the second position, the tail end of the sealing housing is released.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the end face of the right end of the mounting bin 110 is set at an inclination angle α with the bottom surface, and the optional inclination angle α is set to 70°. Adaptively, the corresponding end face of the sealing cover shell 200 is also set at an inclination angle α with the ground of the sealing cover shell 200. In this embodiment, by setting the inclination angle α, the sealing cover shell 200 can be smoothly installed on the sealing seat 100. Because, in the process of realizing the present invention, the inventors found that since an elastic sealing gasket 1111 is provided on the left end of the mounting bin 110, there is a huge friction coefficient between the surface of the sealing gasket 1111 and the surface of the contacting object. Therefore, when installing the sealing cover shell 200, it is only possible to follow the following method. Figure 1 In the method shown, the left end of the sealing shell 200 is first placed in the installation chamber 110 at a certain angle, and then the other end of the sealing shell 200 is pressed down to complete the installation of the sealing shell 200. This installation method requires that the length of the installation chamber 110 must be at least greater than the length of the diagonal of the cross section of the length direction of the sealing shell 200 to ensure that the sealing shell 200 is smoothly installed. However, after installation, there is a surplus gap between the second end of the installation chamber 110 and the sealing shell 200, which will additionally increase the volume of the sealing seat, and further increase the volume of the electronic device using the sealing seat. For fields with strict requirements on the volume of the equipment, this unnecessary redundancy is unacceptable, and even the equipment cannot work normally because of the space redundancy here. In the embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned problems are successfully solved by setting the inclination angle α between the right end of the installation chamber 110 and the bottom surface of the installation chamber 110.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, a limiting groove 1113 (enclosed by the left stopper 1114 and the left end 111 of the dark transfer bin) is further provided at the upper end of the left end 111 of the installation bin 110, and a positioning rib 230 is correspondingly provided on the corresponding sealing shell 200, and the opening of the limiting groove 1113 is opened downward. During the installation of the sealing shell 200, the positioning rib 230 on the sealing shell 200 is placed in the limiting groove 1113, and then the other end of the sealing shell 200 is pressed to install the sealing shell 200 into the sealing seat 100. After being installed in place, since the limiting groove 1113 is open downward and is buckled on the positioning rib 230 of the sealing shell 200 from top to bottom, the sealing shell 200 is fastened in the installation bin, and the elastic latch 113 can be used to lock the sealing shell 200 more firmly.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic sealing ring has a first thickness x1 in an uncompressed state, and the minimum thickness of the elastic sealing ring in a compressed state is a second thickness x2; the distance from the left end to the right end of the installation chamber 110 is L (specifically, L is the length of the bottom surface of the installation chamber 110), and the length of the sealing housing 200 is H. In the embodiment of the present invention, the size of L is set to: x2+H<L<x1+H. Through the design of this embodiment, when the sealing housing 200 is installed in place, the right end of the installation chamber 110 itself can achieve the squeezing effect on the sealing housing. On the other hand, due to such a compact space setting, the space utilization is maximized and the volume of the mounting seat is reduced.

[0056] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of another embodiment of the electronic component sealing assembly of the present invention, including a sealing seat 100, a sealing cover shell 200 to be installed, an installation chamber 110 opened in the sealing seat 100, the installation chamber 110, and an elastic latch 113 arranged on the right end 112 of the installation chamber 110.

[0057] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the electronic component sealing assembly of the present invention includes a sealing seat 100, a sealing cover shell 200 to be installed, an installation chamber 110 opened with the sealing seat 100, and an elastic latch 113 arranged on the right end 112 of the installation chamber 110, the elastic latch 113 includes a locking pin 1131 and a spring 1132, a sealing gasket 1111 installed on the left end 111 of the installation chamber 110, and a second connecting channel 1112 arranged on the left end 111 of the installation chamber 110, and a first connecting channel 210 is correspondingly opened on the sealing cover shell.

[0058] In some embodiments, the limiting portion 220 includes: a first protrusion 221 located at the lower right side of the body of the sealing housing 200, and a recess 222 adjacent to the protrusion; during the installation of the sealing housing 200 into the installation bin 110, the end of the elastic latch 113 rises along the first protrusion 221 to enter the tensioned retracted position; after the sealing housing 200 is installed into the installation bin 110, the elastic latch 113 rises over the first protrusion 221 and enters the recess 222. The limiting portion 220 also includes a second protrusion 223 adjacent to the recess 222.

[0059] On the other hand, the present invention further provides an underwater booster, comprising a cabin, wherein the electronic components in the cabin are configured with the electronic component sealing assembly described in any of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0060] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative, wherein the units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, and the components displayed as units may or may not be physical units, that is, they may be located in one place, or they may be distributed on multiple network units. Some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the scheme of this embodiment. Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical scheme of the present application, rather than to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical schemes described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical schemes from the spirit and scope of the technical schemes of the various embodiments of the present application.
