Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted terminals, in particular to a waterproof structure of a terminal and a vehicle-mounted terminal. Background Art

[0002] Most of the terminals on the market do not have waterproof measures, especially at the connector position. Due to the higher requirements for the use environment of some car manufacturers, the protection level of the terminal is further required, so it is necessary to make a waterproof design at the terminal connector position. In order to solve the waterproof problem of the terminal connector, the Chinese utility model with application number 202223328408.0 discloses a vehicle-mounted controller, including a first shell, a second shell, a connector and a seal. The first shell and the second shell cover each other and form an installation chamber with an installation port with a ring-shaped inner wall with the first shell. The connector is arranged at the installation port and has an annular side wall. The seal is sleeved on the periphery of the side wall of the connector, one side of the seal is in contact with the side wall of the connector, and the other side is in contact with the inner wall of the installation port. Although this structure can solve the waterproof problem of the terminal connector, it is necessary to adapt the shape of the installation port to the connector. If the same type of product is replaced with a different connector, the first shell and the second shell also need to be replaced and the mold is re-opened, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost.

By improving the waterproof structure, terminal products of the same type can share a bottom shell and an upper cover even if the connectors are different. Only the sealing gasket and the waterproof baffle need to be replaced, thereby saving manufacturing costs.

[0004] The utility model solves the technical problem by adopting the following technical scheme: a waterproof structure of a terminal, comprising a bottom shell and a PCB board, wherein at least one connector is arranged on the PCB board, the PCB board is fixed in the bottom shell, and the side wall of the bottom shell is provided with at least one first through hole; further comprising at least one sealing pad and a pressing member, wherein the sealing pad is provided with at least one second through hole, one end of the connector on the PCB board passes through the second through hole of the sealing pad and the first through hole of the bottom shell in sequence, and the connector is interference-fitted with the second through hole of the sealing pad; the pressing member is connected to the PCB board and / or the bottom shell, and presses the sealing pad against the inner side surface of the side wall, and the sealing pad covers the first through hole.

[0005] Furthermore, the pressing member is a waterproof baffle, and the waterproof baffle is provided with a clearance notch with an opening end facing downwards corresponding to the connector to avoid the connector.

[0006] Furthermore, the waterproof baffle is provided with a mounting portion fixedly connected to the PCB board.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting portion includes a mounting plate integrally formed with the waterproof baffle, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the PCB board by screws.

[0009] Furthermore, a positioning protrusion extending downward is provided at the bottom end of the waterproof baffle, and the positioning protrusion is plugged and matched with a corresponding positioning hole arranged on the PCB board.

[0010] Furthermore, the waterproof baffle is in the shape of a horizontally extending long strip, and the waterproof baffle is provided with at least one extension plate extending in a direction away from the sealing gasket, and the positioning protrusion is provided at the bottom of the extension plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the sealing gasket is partially embedded in the first through hole; the number of the sealing gasket and the first through hole are respectively multiple, and the sealing gasket corresponds to the first through hole one by one, and each sealing gasket is respectively provided with one or more second through holes; the number of the clamping member is one, and the clamping member clamps each sealing gasket at the same time.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom shell is L-shaped, and the top surface of its horizontal part is fixed with the PCB board, and its vertical part constitutes the side wall.

[0013] The utility model also provides a vehicle-mounted terminal, including an upper cover and a waterproof structure of the terminal as described in any one of the above, wherein the upper cover is sealed and connected to the bottom shell and covers the PCB board and the connectors thereon.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
