Description

Technical Field

[0002] The surface of 3C electronic products needs to be coated during the processing. The coating process is usually performed by a PVD coating machine. In the specific coating process, each gap on the frame needs to be sealed with a rubber plug to avoid the formation of a coating at the gap and inside the frame.

[0003] Currently, the gaps in products used to seal are usually split structures, that is, each rubber plug corresponds to a gap. During assembly, each rubber plug needs to be installed in the corresponding gap in turn, which has low disassembly and assembly efficiency and affects the electroplating efficiency of the product. In order to improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the rubber plug, designers have developed an integral rubber plug, which integrates multiple rubber plugs into one body, so that multiple rubber plugs can be installed on the product at one time or removed from the product as a whole.
