When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0029] See also Figures 1 to 5 , shown is a waterproof control box in an embodiment of the utility model, including at least two relatively arranged shells, a waterproof component 300 and at least one control button 400, and the control button 400 is used to be installed on at least one shell.

[0030] The waterproof component 300 includes a sealing member 310 and at least one connecting member 320, a part of the connecting member 320 is connected to the control button 400, and another part is connected to the sealing member 310, so that the control button 400 and the sealing member 310 are integrally connected through the connecting member 320;

[0031] The seal 310 is arranged opposite to the edge of the shell, so that when the control button 400 is connected to a shell, the seal 310 fits along the edge of the corresponding shell, and a limiting groove 500 is provided on the edge for accommodating the seal 310.

[0032] The control button 400 and the seal 310 are integrally connected via the connector 320, so that when the control button 400 is assembled, the seal 310 will fit exactly against the edge of a shell, and a limiting groove 500 for accommodating the seal 310 is provided on the edge of the shell, that is, when the control button 400 is assembled, the seal 310 is assembled accordingly. Through this arrangement, the assembly of the control button 400 and the seal 310 can be combined into one assembly process, thereby greatly improving efficiency and solving the technical problem in the prior art that the installation process is relatively cumbersome, resulting in a time-consuming and labor-intensive assembly process.

[0033] To facilitate understanding of the present case, in the present embodiment, the control box may include an upper shell 100 and a lower shell 200, the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 200 are arranged opposite to each other, and the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 200 are detachably connected to each other.

[0034] It should be noted that, in some preferred embodiments, the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 200 do not limit the number of shells in the control box, and other numbers may be used, which are not specifically explained here, such as three, four, etc.

[0035] Specifically, the control button 400 is used to be installed on the upper shell 100, and the first edge portion 110 of the upper shell 100 is provided with a limiting groove 500 for accommodating the seal 310. In some preferred embodiments, the second edge portion 210 of the lower shell 200 is arranged opposite to the first edge portion 110, and the second edge portion 210 is provided with a flange portion 220 opposite to the limiting groove 500. The flange portion 220 is used so that when the upper shell 100 and the lower shell 200 are connected, the flange portion 220 can be embedded in the limiting groove 500, so that the seal 310 can be pressed, thereby ensuring the overall sealing performance of the control box.

[0036] In some other preferred embodiments, the size of one end of the flange portion 220 facing the limiting groove 500 extends from small to large toward the other end, and the size of the flange portion 220 is limited to guide the installation of the flange portion 220, so that the flange portion 220 can be smoothly embedded in the limiting groove 500.

[0037] In addition, the connecting member 320 includes a button connecting portion 321 and at least one sealing portion 322. The button connecting portion 321 is connected to the control button 400, and the sealing portion 322 is connected to the sealing member 310. In some actual situations, the control box may include multiple control buttons 400, such as up, down, left, and right four control buttons 400, etc. In this embodiment, the button connecting portion 321 can be a plate-like structure, that is, it can be connected to multiple control buttons 400 at the same time.

[0038] Specifically, the connecting member 320 includes a plurality of sealing connecting portions 322, and the plurality of sealing connecting portions 322 are respectively arranged on each edge of the button connecting portion 321, and each edge of the button connecting portion 321 is provided with at least two sealing connecting portions 322, and each sealing connecting portion 322 on each edge of the button connecting portion 321 is arranged opposite to at least one sealing connecting portion 322 on another edge. By limiting the position and number of the sealing connecting portions 322, the stability of the connection between the sealing member 310 and the control button 400 can be ensured.

[0039] In addition, in order to electrically connect the external connection harness with the electronic components in the control box, in the embodiment, the seal 310 includes a sealing strip portion 311 and a sealing arc portion 312, and the sealing arc portion 312 is used for the connection harness on the control box to pass through.

[0040] It should be noted that the control button 400 is a conventional component of the control box itself and will not be specifically described here.

[0041] In summary, a waterproof control box in an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects compared with the control box in the prior art:

[0042] In the waterproof control box provided by the utility model, a waterproof component 300 is set, and the waterproof component 300 includes a seal 310 and at least one connecting member 320. A part of the connecting member 320 is connected to the control button 400, and the other part is connected to the seal 310, so that the control button 400 and the seal 310 are connected as a whole through the connecting member 320, so that when the control button 400 is assembled, the seal 310 will just fit with the edge of a shell, and a limiting groove 500 for accommodating the seal 310 is provided on the edge of the shell, that is, when the control button 400 is assembled, the seal 310 is assembled accordingly. Through this arrangement, the assembly of the control button 400 and the seal 310 can be combined in one assembly process, thereby greatly improving efficiency and solving the technical problem in the prior art that the installation process is relatively cumbersome, resulting in a time-consuming and labor-intensive assembly process.
