Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing devices, and in particular relates to a food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing food processing machines usually include a main unit and a grinding cup installed on the main unit. For the convenience of users, the grinding cup can be removed relative to the main unit. For example, the patent with application number 202222932958.7 previously applied by the applicant discloses an easy-to-use food processing machine. The grinding cup is detachably installed on a mounting platform, and the mounting platform is penetrated by a leakage hole connected to the outside world. While the grinding cup is easy to disassemble, the accumulated water on the mounting platform can also be discharged, thereby improving the waterproofness of the whole machine and preventing water from entering the main unit.

[0003] However, in some food processing machines, buttons are set on the panel of the host, and there is still a risk of water leakage at the buttons. Application No. 202123070653.1 discloses a food processing machine with good waterproofness. The panel of the host is provided with a knob button structure, and the knob button structure includes a sealing ring, which is sleeved on the knob and located on the periphery of the mounting hole and in sealing contact with the button. The applicant found in the further research process that although the sealing ring can play a certain sealing effect, the button is a movable part, and the sealing ring causes a certain interference to the movement of the button, and the user frequently operates the button, causing the button to wear and damage the sealing ring, and there is a problem of sealing failure. In addition, the panel is arranged horizontally, and the host is provided with a control component located below the panel. If the button is partially flooded, the water entering the button will be discharged along the discharge hole to the top of the panel and cannot be effectively discharged, causing water accumulation above the panel. The host still has the risk of water ingress, causing damage to the control panel.

[0004] In addition, in the above two patents, the grinding cup is exposed to the main machine, and there is a problem of high noise during the operation of the whole machine. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a low-noise and waterproof and reliable food processing machine. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a food processing machine which, on the basis of achieving noise reduction by fully wrapping a grinding cup, further solves the problem of water intrusion and damage to a control device inside a main machine due to water leakage at a key position and inability to effectively discharge the accumulated water.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] The utility model provides a food processing machine, comprising a main machine, a crushing component installed on the main machine and a control device, the main machine comprising a casing, a cover hinged on the top of the casing, and a button for controlling the opening and closing of the cover, the casing and the cover form an assembly cavity, the crushing component is detachably installed in the assembly cavity, the control device comprises a display panel vertically installed on the outer side wall of the casing, a sunken step is provided on the top of the side wall of the casing, the display panel cooperates with the step to form a mounting groove for mounting the button, a water leakage gap is formed between the button and the mounting groove, and the water leakage gap is communicated with the assembly cavity.

[0008] The food processing machine provided by the utility model comprises a main machine including a casing, a cover hinged on the top of the casing, and a button for controlling the opening and closing of the cover. The casing and the cover form an assembly cavity, and the crushing assembly is detachably installed in the assembly cavity. Therefore, the casing and the cover are used to achieve all-round wrapping of the crushing assembly. Compared with the method of exposing the crushing assembly, the crushing noise of the crushing assembly is isolated inside the assembly cavity, and the crushing noise inside the crushing cup is prevented from being directly transmitted to the outside, greatly reducing the working noise of the whole machine. The crushing assembly is detachably installed in the assembly cavity, so that it is convenient for users to disassemble and replace the cup body or clean it separately, which is convenient for users to operate and convenient to use. The host also includes a button for controlling the opening and closing of the cover. The top of the side wall of the housing is provided with a sunken step. The display panel vertically installed on the outer side wall of the housing cooperates with the step to form an installation groove for installing the button, so that the button can be reliably limited and can move flexibly in the installation groove so that the cover can be opened and closed smoothly. Since residual water may drip onto the button on the user's hand during the user opening the cover, or residual water on the crushing component may drip onto the button during the installation of the crushing component, a water leakage gap is formed between the button and the installation groove, and the water leakage gap is connected to the assembly cavity, so that the dripping water will be discharged into the assembly cavity along the water leakage gap, on the one hand, water accumulation in the installation groove is avoided, causing corrosion and jamming of the button, and on the other hand, the water in the installation groove is effectively discharged to the outside, avoiding water directly flowing to the control component installed on the inner side of the display panel, causing water ingress and damage to the control component. Therefore, the food processing machine provided by the utility model can achieve a comprehensive wrapping and noise reduction effect on the crushing component, while improving the waterproofness of the host and the control device, and extending the service life of the whole machine.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the control device further comprises a control component installed between the display panel and the housing, the control component is located below the step, and a water guide structure is provided between the control component and the step.

[0010] By arranging a water guiding structure between the control component and the step to guide the water flow in the water leakage gap into the assembly cavity, a smoother and more direct flow path is provided for the water flow in the key part, so that the water flow in the water leakage gap directly flows into the assembly cavity and then is discharged to the outside, thereby preventing water from flowing directly to the control component and causing water intrusion and damage to the control component, thereby extending the service life of the control component.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the water-conducting structure includes a fitting gap formed between the outer end of the step and the display panel, a water baffle plate disposed horizontally between the fitting gap and the control assembly, and a water leakage hole provided on the side wall of the casing, and water flowing down along the water leakage gap enters the assembly cavity from the water leakage hole along the upper surface of the water baffle plate.

[0012] The water in the installation groove is led out by utilizing the matching gap generated between the outer end of the step and the display panel. A water retaining plate placed horizontally between the matching gap and the control component can not only block the water from entering the control component, but also guide the water to flow to the leakage hole on the side wall of the casing, and then flow into the assembly cavity and be discharged to the outside. The water flow path at the button part flows through the leakage gap, the matching gap, the water retaining plate, the leakage hole, and the assembly cavity to the outside. The structure is simple and the waterproof effect is good.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the water leakage hole extends to the upper surface of the water retaining plate.

[0014] By extending the lower end of the water leakage hole to the upper surface of the water baffle, it is convenient to completely drain the accumulated water above the water baffle, accelerate the discharge speed of the water flow, and reduce the risk of water intrusion into the control component caused by the accumulated water above the water baffle.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the water baffle is inclined downward from an end close to the display panel to an end close to the housing.

[0016] The water baffle is tilted downward from the end close to the display panel to the end close to the housing. An inclined drainage surface is formed on the upper surface of the water baffle, so that the accumulated water above the water baffle is completely drained and the discharge speed of the water flow is accelerated, thereby reducing the risk of water intrusion into the control component caused by the accumulated water above the water baffle.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the water baffle extends outward from the housing, a concave stop is provided at the outer end of the water baffle, and the display panel is provided with a convex stop that seals with the concave stop;

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing gasket is provided at the outer end of the water baffle plate for sealingly abutting against the display panel.

[0019] The concave stopper and the convex stopper are used to achieve the sealing effect between the outer end of the water baffle and the display panel through the cooperation of the mechanical structure. The water leakage path between the outer end of the water baffle and the display panel is extended, thereby increasing the difficulty of water leakage from this part, blocking the water flow from the gap between the outer end of the water baffle and the display panel to the control component, extending the service life of the control component and improving the waterproof effect of the whole machine.

[0020] Alternatively, by adding a sealing gasket between the water baffle plate and the display panel, the process is simplified and a sealing effect between the outer end of the water baffle plate and the display panel is achieved at the same time.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the step has a vertical step side wall and a step surface laterally bent from the bottom end of the step side wall, and leakage holes are provided at the bending positions of the step side wall and the step surface to connect the leakage gap with the assembly cavity.

[0022] By forming a leakage hole at the bending position of the step side wall and the step surface, after the leakage gap reaches the step surface downward, it directly flows along the step surface through the leakage hole to the assembly cavity, thereby achieving rapid drainage, preventing water from flowing further toward the control component, and further improving the waterproof effect.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, a motor assembly is fixedly installed in the housing, the upper end surface of the motor assembly forms the bottom wall of the assembly cavity, and the motor assembly is provided with a drainage channel communicating with the outside.

[0024] The upper end surface of the motor assembly is used to form the bottom wall of the assembly cavity, and the upper end surface of the motor assembly is used to support the grinding cup. The motor drives the grinding knife in the grinding assembly to rotate to realize the grinding function, which simplifies the structural layout of the food processing machine and helps to reduce the height of the whole machine. A drainage channel is set on the motor assembly, so that the water flowing into the assembly cavity is discharged to the outside through the drainage channel. There is no need to set up other drainage structures, which simplifies the structure of the whole machine and achieves a compact structure.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the button includes a keycap that can move up and down, a return spring vertically abutted between the keycap and the step, and a lock tongue member that cooperates with the keycap, the lock tongue member cooperates with the machine cover in a limited position, and the keycap is provided with a waterproof groove for inserting the return spring.

[0026] The key adopts a key cap that can move up and down, which is convenient for users to press and operate, and is flexible to use. The lock tongue piece and the key cap are linked to realize the locking or releasing of the machine cover, and the structure is reliable. Since a reset spring is provided on the step surface, in order to prevent water above the key from directly flowing to the surface of the reset spring and corroding the reset spring, a waterproof groove for inserting the reset spring is provided on the key cap, and the groove side wall of the waterproof groove forms circumferential protection for the reset spring. The reset spring cooperates with the groove top wall of the waterproof groove for smooth reset of the key cap, thereby preventing the reset spring from being corroded and rusted, and preventing the key from being stuck.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the control device further comprises a control assembly installed between the display panel and the housing, a side wall of the housing is provided with a recessed groove opening toward the display panel, and the control assembly is accommodated in the recessed groove.

[0028] A groove is provided on the side wall of the casing and the control component is accommodated in the groove. Compared with the method of directly protruding from the side wall of the casing, the control component is circumferentially protected by the side wall of the groove, which can prevent water brought by the user when wiping the display panel from entering the control component, thereby achieving a multi-directional waterproof effect for the control component.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the control assembly includes a mounting bracket fixed to the casing, a visible window fixed to the mounting bracket, and a control panel, the control panel is located below the visible window, and the mounting bracket is provided with a surrounding edge extending outward along the contour of the visible window, and the surrounding edge is sealed to the display panel.

[0030] The control component includes a mounting bracket, a viewing window and a control panel. The mounting bracket is used to install and fix the viewing window and the control panel. The structure is stable. The visualization of the crushing process is enhanced through the viewing window to enhance the user experience. A surrounding edge extending along the outline of the viewing window is provided on the mounting bracket. The surrounding edge extends outward to be sealed with the display panel. The surrounding edge encloses the outline of the viewing window and is sealed with the display panel at the same time. The surrounding edge located at the upper end outline of the viewing window can directly block the downward flow of water at the button. The surrounding edge at the lower end outline of the viewing window provides a second waterproofing for the top of the control panel, thereby preventing the water flow between the button and the mounting groove from affecting the control component and enhancing the waterproofing effect of the host.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a food processing machine in one embodiment, including a main machine 10, a crushing assembly 20 installed on the main machine 10 and a control device 30, the main machine 10 includes a casing 11, a cover 12 hinged on the top of the casing 11, and a button 40 for controlling the opening and closing of the cover 12, the casing 11 and the cover 12 surround an assembly cavity 100, the crushing assembly 20 is detachably installed in the assembly cavity 100, and the control device 30 includes a display panel 31 vertically installed on the outer side wall of the casing 11, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a sunken step 111 is provided on the top of the side wall of the housing 11 , and the display panel 31 cooperates with the step 111 to form an installation groove 113 for installing the button 40 . A water leakage gap is formed between the button 40 and the installation groove 113 , and the water leakage gap is connected to the assembly cavity 100 .

[0045] The food processing machine provided by the utility model is a food processing machine which does not need to be washed by hands. The grinding component is provided with a pulp discharge valve. A liquid receiving container 50, such as a pulp receiving cup and a residual water box, is also installed on the base of the main machine 10. A water tank 51 is installed on the rear side of the main machine 10. The water tank 51 is used to supply water to the grinding chamber of the grinding component for pulping or automatic cleaning. After pulping is completed, the pulp discharge valve is opened to discharge the pulp into the pulp receiving cup; after cleaning is completed, the pulp discharge valve is opened to discharge the residual cleaning water into the residual water box, thereby realizing intelligent pulping and cleaning.

[0046] In the food processing machine provided in this embodiment, the main machine 10 includes a housing 11, a cover 12 hinged at the top of the housing 11, and a button 40 for controlling the opening and closing of the cover 12. The housing 11 and the cover 12 form an assembly cavity 100, and the crushing assembly 20 is detachably installed in the assembly cavity 100. Therefore, the housing 11 and the cover 12 are used to achieve all-round wrapping of the crushing assembly 20. Compared with the method of exposing the crushing assembly 20, the crushing noise of the crushing assembly 20 is isolated inside the assembly cavity 100, and the crushing noise inside the crushing cup 21 is prevented from being directly transmitted to the outside, which greatly reduces the working noise of the whole machine. The crushing assembly 20 is detachably installed in the assembly cavity 100, so that it is convenient for users to disassemble and replace the cup body or clean it separately, which is convenient for users to operate and use. The host 10 also includes a button 40 for controlling the opening and closing of the machine cover 12. A sunken step 111 is provided on the top of the side wall of the casing 11. The display panel 31 vertically installed on the outer wall of the casing 11 cooperates with the step 111 to form an installation groove 113 for installing the button 40, so that the button 40 can be reliably limited and can flexibly move in the installation groove 113 to make the machine cover 12 open and close smoothly. Since residual water on the user's hand may drip onto the button 40 during the user's opening of the cover, or residual water on the crushing component 20 may drip onto the button 40 during the installation of the crushing component 20, a water leakage gap is formed between the button 40 and the installation groove 113, and the water leakage gap is connected to the assembly cavity 100, so that the dripping water will be discharged into the assembly cavity 100 along the water leakage gap. On the one hand, water accumulation in the installation groove 113 is avoided to cause corrosion and jamming of the button 40. On the other hand, the water in the installation groove 113 is effectively discharged to the outside to avoid water directly flowing to the control component 32 installed on the inner side of the display panel 31, causing water intrusion and damage to the control component 32. Therefore, the food processing machine provided by the present invention can achieve the effect of all-round wrapping and noise reduction of the grinding component, while improving the waterproofness of the main unit 10 and the control device 30, thereby extending the service life of the entire machine.

[0047] The present invention does not limit the communication mode between the water leakage gap and the assembly cavity 100, and any of the following implementation examples may be adopted:

[0048] Implementation example 1, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the control device 30 also includes a control component 32 installed between the display panel 31 and the housing 11. The control component 32 is located below the step 111. A water guide structure is provided between the control component 32 and the step 111 to guide water flow in the leakage gap into the assembly cavity 100.

[0049] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the water guide structure includes a matching gap formed between the outer end of the step 111 and the display panel 31, a water baffle 115 placed horizontally between the matching gap and the control assembly 32, and a water leakage hole 114 opened on the side wall of the housing 11. The water flowing down along the water leakage gap flows along the upper surface of the water baffle 115 to the water leakage hole 114. The water flow path is referenced Figure 4 As indicated by the arrow in .

[0050] By setting a water guide structure between the control component 32 and the step 111 to guide the water flow in the water leakage gap into the assembly cavity 100, a smoother and more direct flow path is provided for the water flow at the button 40, so that the water flow in the water leakage gap directly flows into the assembly cavity 100 and then is discharged to the outside, so as to prevent water from directly flowing to the control component 32, causing water intrusion and damage to the control component 32, thereby extending the service life of the control component 32. By utilizing the matching gap generated between the outer end of the step 111 and the display panel 31 to guide the water in the mounting groove 113 out, the water baffle plate disposed horizontally between the matching gap and the control component 32 can not only play the role of blocking the water flow from entering the control component 32, but also guide the water flow to the water leakage hole on the side wall of the housing 11, and then flow into the assembly cavity 100 and be discharged to the outside. The water flow path at the button 40 part flows to the outside through the water leakage gap, the matching gap, the water baffle plate, the water leakage hole, and the assembly cavity 100, with a simple structure and good waterproof effect.

[0051] In this implementation example, more preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the water leakage hole 114 extends to the upper surface of the water baffle plate. The water baffle plate 115 is inclined downward from an end close to the display panel 31 to an end close to the housing 11.

[0052] By extending the lower end of the leak hole to the upper surface of the water baffle, the accumulated water above the water baffle can be completely drained, and the discharge speed of the water flow can be accelerated, thereby reducing the risk of water accumulation above the water baffle causing water intrusion into the control component 32. By tilting the water baffle downward from the end close to the display panel 31 to the end close to the housing 11, an inclined drainage surface is formed on the upper surface of the water baffle, so that the accumulated water above the water baffle can be completely drained, and the discharge speed of the water flow can be accelerated, thereby reducing the risk of water accumulation above the water baffle causing water intrusion into the control component 32.

[0053] In this implementation example, Figure 4As shown, the water baffle extends outward from the housing 11, and a concave stopper is provided at the outer end of the water baffle, and a convex stopper that seals with the concave stopper is provided on the display panel 31, and the concave stopper and the convex stopper constitute a stopper structure 116 to achieve sealing, and the sealing effect between the outer end of the water baffle and the display panel 31 is achieved through the cooperation of the mechanical structure. The water leakage path between the outer end of the water baffle and the display panel 31 is extended, thereby increasing the difficulty of water leakage from this part, blocking the water flow from the gap between the outer end of the water baffle and the display panel 31 to the control component 32, extending the service life of the control component 32, and improving the waterproof effect of the whole machine.

[0054] Alternatively, in other embodiments, a sealing gasket is provided at the outer end of the water baffle plate to seal against the display panel 31. Installing a sealing gasket between the water baffle plate and the display panel 31 simplifies the process and achieves a sealing effect between the outer end of the water baffle plate and the display panel 31.

[0055] Implementation example 2: In this implementation example, the water guide structure is a water guide pipe arranged between the control component 32 and the step 111. A water guide channel is formed inside the water guide pipe. The inlet end of the water guide channel is directly opposite to the bottom of the water leakage gap, and the outlet end extends through the casing 11 to communicate with the assembly cavity 100.

[0056] Implementation example 3. In this implementation example, the step 111 has a vertical step 111 side wall and a step 111 surface that is laterally bent from the bottom end of the step 111 side wall. Leakage holes are set at the bending positions of the step 111 side wall and the step 111 surface to connect the leakage gap with the assembly cavity 100.

[0057] By forming a leakage hole at the bending position of the side wall of step 111 and the surface of step 111, after the leakage gap reaches the surface of step 111 downward, it directly flows along the surface of step 111 through the leakage hole to the assembly cavity 100, thereby achieving rapid drainage, preventing water from flowing further toward the control component 32, and further improving the waterproof effect.

[0058] Regarding the above implementation example, the installation method and structure of the control component 32 may be selected as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a recess 112 with an opening toward the display panel 31 is provided on the side wall of the housing 11 , and the control assembly 32 is accommodated in the recess 112 .

[0059] By opening a groove 112 on the side wall of the housing 11, the control component 32 is accommodated in the groove 112. Compared with the method of directly protruding from the side wall of the housing 11, the side wall of the groove 112 is used to provide circumferential protection for the control component 32, which can prevent water brought by the user when wiping the display panel 31 from entering the control component 32, thereby achieving a multi-directional waterproof effect for the control component 32.

[0060] More specifically, the control assembly 32 includes a mounting bracket fixed to the housing 11, a viewing window fixed to the mounting bracket, and a control panel, the control panel is located below the viewing window, and the mounting bracket is provided with a surrounding edge extending along the outline of the viewing window, and the surrounding edge extends outward to be sealed and connected with the display panel 31.

[0061] The control component 32 includes a mounting bracket, a visual window and a control panel. The mounting bracket is used to install and fix the visual window and the control panel. The structure is stable. The visual window enhances the visualization of the crushing process to enhance the user experience. A border extending along the outline of the visual window is provided on the mounting bracket. The border extends outward to be sealed with the display panel 31. The border surrounds the outline of the visual window and is sealed with the display panel 31 at the same time. The border located at the upper end outline of the visual window can directly block the downward flow of water at the button 40. The border at the lower end outline of the visual window provides a second waterproofing for the top of the control panel, thereby preventing the water flow between the button 40 and the mounting groove 113 from affecting the control component 32, thereby enhancing the waterproofing effect of the host 10.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the assembly cavity 100 is connected to the outside. The way in which the assembly cavity 100 is connected to the outside is not limited, and any of the following implementation examples may be used:

[0063] Implementation Example 4, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the assembly cavity 100 is connected to the outside. Specifically, a motor assembly 22 is fixedly provided in the housing 11. The upper end surface of the motor assembly 22 forms the bottom wall of the assembly cavity 100. The motor assembly 22 is provided with a drainage channel connected to the outside. In this embodiment, a base 13 and a support seat 14 protruding upward from the base 13 are provided at the bottom of the housing 11. The motor assembly 22 is fixed on the support seat 14. The motor assembly 22 includes: an upper end cover 221, a lower end cover 222 fixed below the upper end cover 221, and a brushless motor 223 installed between the upper end cover 221 and the lower end cover 222. The lower end cover 222 is fixed above the support seat 14. A shock-absorbing pad 224 is also laid above the upper end cover 221. The crushing assembly 20 includes a crushing cup 21. The crushing cup 21 is detachably installed above the shock-absorbing pad 224 to achieve flexible support. The drainage channel includes a first channel 225 arranged on the upper end cover 221, a second channel 226 arranged on the lower end cover 222, and a third channel 227 arranged on the support seat 14. A drainage hole 131 is arranged on the base 13, so that water droplets flowing into the assembly cavity 100 are discharged to the outside along the through hole 228 of the shock-absorbing pad 224, the first channel 225, the second channel 226, the third channel 227, and the drainage hole 131.

[0064] The upper end surface of the motor assembly 22 is used to form the bottom wall of the assembly chamber 100 to support the crushing cup 21. The motor drives the crushing knife in the crushing assembly 20 to rotate to achieve the crushing function, which simplifies the structural layout of the food processor and helps to reduce the height of the entire machine. A drainage channel is set on the motor assembly 22, so that the water flowing into the assembly chamber 100 is discharged to the outside through the drainage channel. There is no need to set up other drainage structures, which simplifies the structure of the entire machine and achieves a compact structure.

[0065] In implementation example 5, the crushing assembly 20 includes a crushing cup 21 and a motor assembly 22 that are fixedly connected. The crushing cup 21 and the motor assembly 22 are fixed as a whole so as to be detachably installed in the assembly cavity 100. The support seat 14 constitutes the bottom wall of the assembly cavity 100. A third channel 227 and a drainage hole of the base 13 are provided on the support seat 14 to realize the drainage of water from the assembly cavity 100.

[0066] In addition, the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the button 40. Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the key 40 includes a key cap 41 that can move up and down, a return spring 42 vertically installed between the key cap 41 and the step 111 surface, and a lock tongue member 43 that cooperates with the key cap 41. The lock tongue member 43 is limitedly matched with the cover 12. Specifically, the cover 12 is provided with a lock hole 45, and the lock tongue member 43 is provided with a lock tongue 431 that is horizontally inserted into the lock hole 45. Figure 4 As shown, the key cap 41 is provided with a waterproof groove 411 for the return spring 42 to be inserted into.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, the key 40 also includes a compression spring 46 arranged horizontally and matched with the lock tongue member 43. A decorative member 44 is installed on the shell, and the compression spring 46 abuts between the decorative member 44 and the lock tongue member 43. When the user presses the keycap 41 downward, the reset spring 42 is compressed, and the lock tongue member 43 and the keycap 41 are linked to squeeze the compression spring 46 to achieve retreat, and the lock tongue 431 of the lock tongue member 43 is disengaged from the lock hole 45 of the machine cover 12, and the machine cover 12 is opened; when the user lets go, the reset spring 42 and the compression spring are reset; when the user closes the machine cover 12, under the action of external force, the lock tongue member 43 retreats to avoid the machine cover 12, and when the machine cover 12 is closed in place, the lock tongue 431 is inserted into the lock hole 45 by the rebound force of the compression spring to keep the machine cover 12 in a closed state.

[0068] More preferably, the return spring 42 is made of stainless steel, and an anti-rust coating is provided on the outer surface of the return spring 42 .

[0069] The key 40 uses a key cap 41 that can move up and down, which is convenient for users to press and operate, and is flexible to use. The lock tongue 43 is linked with the key cap 41 to lock or release the cover 12, and the structure is reliable. Since a reset spring 42 is provided on the step 111, in order to prevent water above the key 40 from directly flowing to the surface of the reset spring 42 and corroding the reset spring 42, a waterproof groove 411 is provided on the key cap 41 for inserting the reset spring 42. The side wall of the waterproof groove 411 forms a circumferential protection for the reset spring 42. The reset spring 42 cooperates with the top wall of the waterproof groove 411 for the smooth reset of the key cap 41. Therefore, the reset spring 42 is prevented from being corroded and rusted, and the key 40 is prevented from being stuck.
