Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic device technology, and in particular to a waterproof door assembly and electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] As electronic devices offer a wider range of functions, they typically have multiple openings on their bodies to provide cable connections or expand device connectivity. To provide waterproofing or dustproofing for these openings, they are usually equipped with covers so that users can close them when not in use.
[0003] In electronic devices with numerous openings, the current door cover design connects two covers to the same pivot, which is then locked between two adjacent openings on the upper part of the device. This reduces the number of pivots and structural space required for the door covers. However, this design has a drawback: if one cover breaks, both covers must be replaced simultaneously, resulting in wasted resources. Furthermore, since each cover must be designed specifically for the openings of each device model, existing door cover structures cannot be modified individually for any single cover or opening. For similar models, the possibility of modifying a single-sided opening is far greater than modifying a double-sided opening, thus limiting design versatility and requiring improvement.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, it is necessary to develop a waterproof door assembly and electronic device to resolve them. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.
[0043] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a waterproof door assembly that can be installed on a housing C. The waterproof door assembly includes a cover plate 10, an assembly shaft 20, and a fixing member 30. The assembly shaft 20 is connected to the cover plate 10, allowing the cover plate 10 to rotate relative to the assembly shaft 20. The assembly shaft 20 includes an axial groove 21, a snap-fit structure 22, and a fixing structure 23. The axial groove 21 is connected to the cover plate 10 and includes a first end 211 and a second end 212. The snap-fit structure 22 is connected to the side of the axial groove 21 opposite to the cover plate 10 and extends to the first end 211 of the axial groove 21, and the snap-fit structure 22 can snap onto the housing C. The fixing structure 23 is connected to the side of the axial groove 21 opposite to the cover plate 10 and is close to the second end 212 of the axial groove 21. The fixing member 30 passes through the fixing structure 23 and is fixed to the housing C.
[0044] Therefore, the waterproof door assembly can be installed separately on the housing C, making it easy to repair or replace.
[0045] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the waterproof door assembly may also fix the fixing structure 23 to the housing C without the fastener 30. The fixing structure 23 may be directly fixed to the housing by snap-fit or fitting. This embodiment does not limit the specific fixing structure.
[0046] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the waterproof door assembly is part of an electronic device. In these embodiments, the electronic device includes a housing C and two waterproof door assemblies. The housing C includes a side cover C1 and an inner frame C2. The side cover C1 has two through mounting ports C11, and the inner frame C2 has two through ports C21. The side cover C1 is disposed on one side of the inner frame C2, and the position of each mounting port C11 corresponds to the position of each port C21. Each waterproof door assembly is detachably disposed on the side cover C1 and corresponds to the position of each mounting port C11. Here, connectors can be provided in the electronic device corresponding to each port C21 as needed, such as, but not limited to, USB type A, micro USB type C, VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, RJ45, RJ11, RS232, or card readers (SD, mini SD, micro SD, RF).
[0047] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover plate 10 of the waterproof door assembly and the assembly shaft 20 are integral plate structures. The cover plate 10 is used to cover the mounting opening C11 and the port C21 to provide waterproof or dustproof effects.
[0048] like Figures 2-4As shown, the assembly shaft 20 is connected to one side of the cover plate 10 and is used to assemble the side cover C1. In some embodiments, the side cover C1 has a mounting surface C12 between the two mounting openings C11. When the cover plate 10 covers the mounting openings C11, the assembly shaft 20 located on one side of the cover plate 10 is adapted to the position of the mounting surface C12 and can be installed on the mounting surface C12.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment where the electronic device is equipped with two waterproof door assemblies, the assembly shafts 20 of the two waterproof door assemblies are connected to the same mounting surface C12. In these embodiments, when the two waterproof door assemblies are respectively fixed to the same mounting surface C12 by their assembly shafts 20, the assembly shafts 20 of the two waterproof door assemblies abut against each other, and the assembly shafts 20 of the two waterproof door assemblies are fitted together on the mounting surface C12.
[0050] Preferably, the assembly shaft 20 is connected to one side of the cover plate 10 by an axial groove 21, and the axial groove 21 extends along the axial direction X and includes a first end 211 and a second end 212. Because the axial groove 21 is provided between the assembly shaft 20 and the cover plate 10, the cover plate 10 can rotate relative to the assembly shaft 20 along the axial groove 21. Therefore, the user can pivot the cover plate 10 as needed to change the covered or open state of the cover plate 10 relative to the mounting opening C11.
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the fastener 30 is a bolt, and a screw-hole type fixing part C121 is provided on the mounting surface C12 of the side cover C1 of the housing C. The fastener 30 extends along a first radial direction Y1 perpendicular to the axial direction X, and the waterproof door assembly is locked to the fixing part C121 on the mounting surface C12 of the side cover C1 through the fastener 30 and the fixing structure 23.
[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit structure 22 extends along the axial direction X and one end extends to the second end 212 of the axial groove 21. The length of the snap-fit structure 22 along the axial direction X is less than the length of the axial groove 21 along the axial direction X. In some embodiments, the length of the snap-fit structure 22 along the axial direction X is 15% to 20% of the length of the axial groove 21 along the axial direction X.
[0053] In these embodiments, the snap-fit structure 22 includes an extension 221 and a hook 222 connected together. One end of the extension 221 is connected to the axial groove 21 and extends along the first radial direction Y1. The other end of the extension 221 is connected to the hook 222, which extends toward the second radial direction Y2 perpendicular to the first radial direction Y1. The snap-fit structure 22 is fastened to the side cover C1 of the housing C by the hook 222.
[0054] like Figures 5-7As shown, in some embodiments, to enhance the stability of the cover 10 mounted on the side cover C1, the mounting surface C12 of the side cover C1 of the housing C includes a first stop C13 for the snap-fit structure 22 to engage. In these embodiments, the first stop C13 is a cylindrical structure extending along the axial direction X. When the cover 10 is mounted on the side cover C1, the cover 10 is located on one side of the first stop C13, while the hook 222 of the snap-fit structure 22 extends to the other side of the first stop C13 and engages with it.
[0055] In these embodiments, the side cover C1 further includes two abutment surfaces C14, which are perpendicularly connected to the two ends of the mounting surface C12 in the axial direction X. One end of the first stop portion C13 in the axial direction X extends to one of the abutment surfaces C14, and the other end of the first stop portion C13 in the axial direction X has an end face C131. The end face C131 of the first stop portion C13 is opposite to the abutment surface C14, thereby forming an opening C132 between the end face C131 of the first stop portion C13 and the abutment surface C14. In this way, when the hook portion 222 of the snap-fit structure 22 is inserted into the opening C132 of the first stop portion C13, the end face C131 of the first stop portion C13 and the abutment surface C14 of the side cover C1 can restrict the displacement of the snap-fit structure 22 in the axial direction X, thereby improving the stability of the cover plate 10 installed on the side cover C1. Furthermore, the first end 211 of the axial groove 21 is engaged and fixed with the first stop C13 by the snap-fit structure 22, and the second end 212 of the axial groove 21 can be locked and fixed by the fastener 30 to further provide a fixing effect.
[0056] In embodiments where an electronic device incorporates two waterproof door assemblies, since the assembly shafts 20 of the two waterproof door assemblies are connected to the same mounting surface C12, the two waterproof door assemblies connected to the same mounting surface C12 are positioned differently to make more comprehensive and complete use of the mounting surface C12. In these embodiments, the two waterproof door assemblies are rotated 180 degrees. Specifically, one waterproof door assembly can be pivoted 180 degrees about a first radial direction Y1 to become the orientation of the other waterproof door assembly. In this way, when the assembly shafts 20 of the two waterproof door assemblies are connected to the same mounting surface C12, the fixing structures 23 of the assembly shafts 20 of the two waterproof door assemblies are arranged alternately on the mounting surface C12 in the axial direction X, and the fixing structure 23 of one waterproof door assembly is adjacent to the snap-fit structure 22 of the other waterproof door assembly at the same axial position X.
[0057] Preferably, to facilitate the installation of the aforementioned waterproof door assembly, the first stop portions C13 on the mounting surface C12 are located at different positions along the axial direction X, and each first stop portion C13 is adjacent to a second stop portion C15 at the same axial position X. Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown. The first stop C13 cooperates with one of the two waterproof door assemblies, and the second stop C15 cooperates with the other of the two waterproof door assemblies.
[0058] like Figures 5-7 As shown, in some embodiments, to further improve the stability of the cover plate 10 assembled with the side cover C1, the first stop portion C13 has a circumferential surface C133, which connects the two ends of the first stop portion C13 in the axial direction X and extends to the opening C132 in the second radial direction Y2. Thus, when the hook portion 222 of the snap-fit structure 22 enters the opening C132 of the first stop portion C13, the circumferential surface C133 of the first stop portion C13 can restrict the displacement of the snap-fit structure 22 in the second radial direction Y2, further improving the stability of the cover plate 10 assembled with the side cover C1.
[0059] like Figures 5-7 As shown, in some embodiments, to ensure the smooth operation of the snap-fit structure 22 engaging with the first stop portion C13, the peripheral surface C133 of the first stop portion C13 has an arc-shaped segment C1331 extending to the opening C132. Furthermore, the hook portion 222 of the snap-fit structure 22 has a bevel 2221, which is inclined towards the axial groove 21 in a direction close to the cover plate 10. Thus, during the engagement of the snap-fit structure 22 with the first stop portion C13, the snap-fit structure 22 can be assembled with the bevel 2221 positioned relative to the arc-shaped segment C1331 of the peripheral surface C133 of the first stop portion C13. The bevel 2221 of the snap-fit structure 22 and the arc-shaped segment C1331 of the first stop portion C13 can guide each other, smoothly engaging the hook portion 222 of the snap-fit structure 22 into the opening C132, reducing assembly difficulty and improving assembly convenience.
[0060] like Figures 5-7 As shown, in some embodiments, to further improve the stability of the cover 10 after it is assembled to the side cover C1, the side cover C1 of the housing C further includes a second stop C15. The second stop C15 protrudes from the mounting surface C12 and has an abutment surface C1521 perpendicular to the mounting surface C12, while the assembly shaft 20 includes a recess 24. When the cover 10 is assembled to the side cover C1 via the assembly shaft 20, the recess 24 of the assembly shaft 20 abuts against the abutment surface C1521 of the second stop C15. Thus, the displacement of the assembly shaft 20 in the axial direction X is restricted by the second stop C15, improving the stability of the cover 10 assembled to the side cover C1 via the assembly shaft 20.
[0061] In these embodiments, the second stop C15 includes a first portion C151 and a second portion C152 connected to each other. The first portion C151 is connected to the mounting surface C12 of the side cover C1 of the housing C and extends along a first radial direction Y1. The second portion C152 extends along a second radial direction Y2, and the abutment surface C1521 is located on the second portion C152 and parallel to the abutment surface C14 of the side cover C1. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the recess 24 of the assembly shaft 20 is located on the side of the assembly shaft 20 opposite to the cover plate 10, and viewed in the axial direction X, the second end 212 of the axial groove 21 is closer to the recess 24 of the assembly shaft 20 than the first end 211. Therefore, the fit between the recess 24 of the assembly shaft 20 and the second stop C15 further improves the stability of the cover plate 10 assembled to the side cover C1 via the assembly shaft 20.
[0062] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the waterproof door assembly also includes a sealing plug 40. The shape of the sealing plug 40 corresponds to the shape of the port C21 of the inner frame C2 of the housing C. When the electronic device has high waterproof requirements, high security requirements, or high confidentiality requirements, the sealing plug 40 is placed at the port C21 to seal the port C21, preventing water vapor from entering, preventing confidential data inside the electronic device from being stolen, and also preventing the risk of flash explosion caused by the cover 10 being accidentally opened.
[0063] In these embodiments, to improve the stability of the sealing plug 40, the sealing plug 40 includes a plurality of hooks 41, each hook 41 protruding from the surface of the sealing plug 40, and the cover plate 10 is provided with positioning holes 11 corresponding to the number and position of each hook 41. When the cover plate 10 is assembled to the side cover C1 by the assembly shaft 20, each hook 41 of the sealing plug 40 passes through and engages with each positioning hole 11 of the cover plate 10, so as to improve the stability of the sealing plug 40.
[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, to further improve the safety and airtightness of the waterproof door assembly, the waterproof door assembly further includes a sliding latch 50. The sliding latch 50 is a U-shaped cover structure including a face 51 and two opposing sides 52. The face 51 of the sliding latch 50 has a groove 511. The sliding latch 50 can be slidably fitted onto the hook 41 of the sealing plug 40 that passes through the positioning hole 11 of the cover plate 10 through the groove 511. The two sides 52 of the sliding latch 50 can be slidably fitted onto the inner frame C2 and can move to a release position and a locked position. Thus, when it is not necessary to open the cover plate 10, the sliding latch 50 can be moved to the locked position to lock the sliding latch 50 onto the inner frame C2 and cover the cover plate 10. When it is necessary to open the cover plate 10, the sliding latch 50 can be moved to the release position to release onto the inner frame C2, so that the sliding latch 50 can be opened with the cover plate 10. Thus, the user can release or lock the sliding latch 50 as needed, improving the safety of use.
[0065] In some embodiments, the aforementioned electronic device is, for example, a laptop computer, a tablet computer, a keyboard, a keyboard expansion dock, a camera, or a mobile phone.
