TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of waterproofing of electronic devices, and the improvement relates to a waterproof structure of an electronic device. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, some electronic devices on the market adopt a design scheme in which one interference strip extrudes a waterproof soft rubber pad. The design of such a waterproof structure often only allows the electronic device to reach an IPx6 level of waterproofing grade. For example, in the electric bicycle and electric motorcycle industry, electronic devices such as vehicle anti-theft alarms, controllers, remote controls, etc. can only reach an IPx6 level of waterproofing grade. Therefore, the national technical standards for many related electronic accessories only require an IPx6 level, but once the electric bicycle and electric motorcycle are immersed in water due to heavy rain, the electronic devices such as the anti-theft alarm and the controller on the vehicle will malfunction due to water ingress.
[0003] Therefore, the waterproof structure of the electronic device needs to be improved and developed. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a waterproof structure of an electronic device, which can achieve better waterproofing effect through two interference strip area double-ring waterproofing. The structure is simple, low in cost, easy to implement, convenient to popularize, can easily allow the electronic device to reach an IPx7 or IPx8 level of waterproofing grade, and can greatly reduce the defective rate.
[0005] To solve the problems in the background art, the present application adopts the following technical scheme: A waterproof structure of an electronic device, which is composed of an upper shell, a lower shell and a waterproof soft rubber pad. Two narrow interference strip areas are arranged on the edge portions of the upper and lower shells. The distance between the upper and lower shells at the two interference strip areas is smaller than the thickness of the waterproof soft rubber pad between the two interference strip areas by a certain size. During assembly of the device, the waterproof soft rubber pad at the two interference strip areas is extruded by the upper and lower shells, thereby achieving better waterproofing and dustproofing and more reliably preventing water from entering the electronic circuit board and electrical components inside the electronic device. The upper and lower shells are plastic shells. The material of the waterproof soft rubber pad is not limited and can be silicone, rubber or PVC, etc. The shape of the waterproof soft rubber pad is not limited and can be a waterproof ring or a part of a soft rubber key pad, etc. The waterproof structure of the electronic device, wherein the widths of the two interference strip areas can also be different.
[0006] The waterproof structure of the electronic device, wherein the two interference strip areas are tightly connected together without distance therebetween. This technical scheme can allow the waterproof structure to occupy a smaller space.
[0007] The waterproof structure of the electronic device, wherein part of the structure can be modified or added on the basis of the technical solution, including the structure of the prior art, including the structure of the new technical solution invented by making creative labor.
[0008] The waterproof structure of the electronic device, wherein the waterproof soft rubber pad between the two interference strip regions is formed by adjusting the size of the distance between the upper and lower shells in the two interference strip regions; adjusting the extrusion degree, so that the waterproof level of the electronic device can easily reach IPx7 or IPx8 level.
[0009] The waterproof structure of the electronic device, wherein the upper shell, the lower shell and the waterproof soft rubber pad can be circular, and the two interference strip regions are also circular; the shape of the upper shell, the lower shell and the waterproof soft rubber pad includes the shape of the two interference strip regions, which is not limited, and can also be square, rectangular or other shapes according to the needs of the electronic device.
[0010] The waterproof structure of the electronic device, wherein the two interference strip regions can make the dustproof and waterproof effect better, and when one of the two interference strip regions may accidentally leak due to falling of small objects or slight defects of the upper shell, the lower shell or the waterproof soft rubber pad, the other interference strip region can play a remedial role, which is equivalent to two dustproof and waterproof measures, and can greatly reduce the product failure rate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The specific embodiments and examples of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
[0014] Example one, a waterproof structure of an electronic device, as shown in the drawings Figure 1As shown in the drawings, the waterproof structure is composed of the upper shell 001, the lower shell 002 and the waterproof soft rubber pad 003. Two narrow interference strip areas 004 and 005 are arranged on the edge of the upper and lower shells 001 and 002. The distance between the upper and lower shells 001 and 002 at the two interference strip areas 004 and 005 is smaller than the thickness of the waterproof soft rubber pad 003 between the two interference strip areas 004 and 005. When the device is assembled, the waterproof soft rubber pad 003 at the two interference strip areas 004 and 005 is extruded by the upper and lower shells 001 and 002, thereby achieving better waterproof and dustproof effects and more reliably preventing the electronic circuit board 006 and electrical components inside the electronic device from being wetted. The upper and lower shells 001 and 002 are plastic shells. The material of the waterproof soft rubber pad 003 is not limited and can be silicone rubber, rubber or PVC, etc. The shape of the waterproof soft rubber pad 003 is not limited and can be a waterproof ring or a part of a soft rubber key pad, etc.
[0015] Embodiment two, the waterproof structure of the electronic device, wherein the height of the two interference strip areas 004 and 005 is not the same, and the thickness of the waterproof soft rubber pad 003 between the two interference strip areas is not the same, thereby forming two different interference strip areas 004 and 005. The width of the two interference strip areas 004 and 005 can also be different.
[0016] Embodiment three, the waterproof structure of the electronic device, as shown in the drawings, Figure 1 wherein the two interference strip areas 004 and 005 are tightly connected together without distance therebetween. This technical solution can make the waterproof structure occupy a smaller space.
