[0019] The preferred examples of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred examples described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and do not limit the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as “center”, “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “inside” and “outside” are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0021] Figures 1 to 3 An implementation mode of the utility model is shown.

[0022] like Figure 1 A waterproof lithium battery case is shown, comprising an upper cover 1 and a matching lower shell 2, wherein the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 are made of ABS thermoplastic engineering plastic.

[0023] like Figure 1 In the figure, the upper cover 1 includes a two-way air-permeable valve 3 arranged in the center of the front side, and a communication plug 4 is symmetrically arranged on the upper cover 1 on the left and right sides of the two-way air-permeable valve 3. A communication line sheath 5 is arranged outside the communication plug 4, and the communication line sheath 5 covers the communication plug 4 to protect and waterproof. Handles 6 are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper cover 1, and a metal inner gasket 7 is arranged horizontally inside the handle 6. A metal frame 8 is arranged in the center of the top of the upper cover 1, and a display screen is arranged inside the metal frame 8. A display screen cover plate 9 is arranged on the outside. The PC display screen cover plate 9 and the upper cover 1 made of ABS material are two materials with different properties. The addition of the metal frame 8 prevents bulging, deformation, and material shortage during the secondary injection molding process. The display screen cover plate 9 has a built-in transparent PC display screen to meet the brightness and touch effect of the display screen. A card slot 10 is arranged in the middle of the upper cover 1 on the left and right sides of the metal frame 8, and a copper stud 11 is secondary-injected on the card slot 10. The bottom of the card slot 10 is sealed inside, which has a high waterproof effect. Multiple through holes 12 are evenly distributed around the top perimeter of the upper cover 1, and an upper mounting groove 13 is arranged at the bottom edge of the upper cover 1.

[0024] In this housing, the PC display screen cover plate 1, the metal frame 2, the copper studs 6, the communication plug 11, and the metal inner gasket 7 are secondary injection-molded in the upper cover 5.

[0025] Symmetrical positioning holes are set at the left and right ends of the metal inner gasket 7 on the inner side of the top of the handle 6, and terminal glue is set on the metal inner gasket 7 at the positioning holes. Because the metal inner gasket 7 needs to be constrained and positioned up, down, left and right, two positioning holes are opened on the appearance surface under the conditions of meeting the requirements of air tightness, waterproofness and aesthetics. The terminal glue can be used to cover it after the product is formed in the later stage.

[0026] The two-way air valve 3 can avoid the appearance deformation of the product caused by changes in temperature and air pressure, and can achieve the purpose of air permeability and waterproofing.

[0027] The lower shell 2 of the device is a hollow groove body, including a lower mounting groove 14 corresponding to the upper mounting groove 13 at the top edge, a plurality of fixing holes 15 corresponding to the through holes 12 are arranged on the inner side of the lower shell 2, and a compression rubber strip 16 is arranged between the upper mounting groove 13 and the lower mounting groove 14. By utilizing the interference fit between the upper mounting groove 13 and the lower mounting groove 14 and the compression rubber strip 16, and utilizing the compression amount of the compression rubber strip 16, the compression ratio of the compression rubber strip 16 of the device is: (3.1-2) / 2*100%=55%, and the compression ratio of the compression rubber strip 16 of the device is 55%>30% (the compression ratio of the compression rubber strip 16 is 15--30%), and the matching gap between the ABS upper cover 1 and the lower shell 2 is completely filled to achieve its sealing effect, and the waterproof level reaches IP67.

[0028] The through hole 12 and the fixing hole 15 are fixedly connected by a connecting piece, and the connecting piece is 8 groups of M4 bolts 17 and a cap 18 arranged on the top thereof, which is easy to install and has high waterproof performance.

[0029] The PC display screen is an LCD screen; the display screen cover plate 9 has a size of 138mm*75mm*3mm; the outer size of the metal frame 8 is 136mm*71mm*1mm, and the hollow size is 112mm*53mm*1mm. The size of the compressed rubber strip 16 is 1.8*3.1mm, and the cross-sectional area is 1.8*3.1=5.58mm²; the size of the upper mounting groove 13 and the lower mounting groove 14 is 1.6*2mm, and the cross-sectional area is 1.6*2=3.2mm². The size of the handle 6 is 8*11*80mm, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the handle 6 is 8*11mm, and the length is 80mm; the size of the metal inner gasket 7 is 100mm*9.5mm*1.2mm.

[0030] In this device, the overall mass of the product is heavier when used with a lithium battery, reaching more than 15 kg. The keel design of the handle 6 and the metal inner gasket 7 facilitates the handling and carrying of the product.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred example of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned implementation cases, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or to replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
