[0028] Combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model are clearly and completely described. Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar promotions without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0029] As Figures 1 - 7 shown, the present utility model discloses a waterproof structure for a control box of a bath-assisting robot, including a control box body 1 and a waterproof strip 2. As Figure 1 shown, the control box body 1 includes a box body 11 and a side cover plate 12. The box body 11 is a hollow structure, and a control system is installed inside the box body 11. An opening is provided on one side of the box body 11, and a side cover plate 12 is provided at the opening. In other words, the side cover plate 12 blocks the opening to prevent water from entering the box body 11. The side cover plate 12 is detachably and fixedly connected to the box body 11 by bolts.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 4 , installation grooves 111 are provided on the four sides of one surface of the box body 11, that is, the extending direction of the installation grooves 111 is the same as the extending direction of the four sides of the box body 11. At this time, the installation grooves 111 surround the outside of the above-mentioned opening.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 , the waterproof strip 2 is a strip-shaped structure. An installation strip 24 is integrally formed on one side of the waterproof strip 2. The installation strip 24 protrudes outward from the body of the waterproof strip 2. The installation strip 24 is inserted into the installation groove 111. A plane 23 is provided on a side of the waterproof strip 2 opposite to the installation strip 24. This plane 23 abuts against the side cover plate 12. Water guide grooves 22 are provided on the other two sides of the waterproof strip 2 and are recessed toward the center of the waterproof strip 2. The water guide grooves 22 extend along the length direction of the waterproof strip 2. A through hole 21 is provided in the middle of the waterproof strip 2. The through hole 21 extends along the length direction of the waterproof strip 2. The side surface of the through hole 21 close to the bottom of the water guide groove 22 is an arc surface that bends toward the center of the through hole 21.
[0032] The waterproof strip 2 is made of an elastic rubber material. The rubber material is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0033] In use, first place the installation strip 24 in the installation groove 111. At this time, the protruding part 25 of the waterproof strip 2 is roughly flush with the side wall of the box body 11. Then cover the side cover plate 12 on the opening of the box body 11, and make the side cover plate 12 abut against the flat surface 23, and fix the side cover plate 12 on the box body 11 with bolts. During the process of tightening the bolts, the side cover plate 12 and the box body 11 further squeeze the waterproof strip 2. At this time, the water guide groove 22 further bends and deforms in the direction of the through hole 21. Since the waterproof strip 2 has a certain elasticity and has a tendency to return to its original shape, the waterproof strip 2 can fit more tightly with the box body 11 and the side cover plate 12, preventing moisture from entering the control box body 1. After the auxiliary bath is finished, dry the remaining moisture in the water guide groove 22. Since the through hole 21 is provided with two arc surfaces, during the deformation process, it can facilitate the inward bending deformation of the water guide groove 22 and prevent the water guide groove 22 from deforming in other directions, affecting the water guiding effect.
[0034] During the actual use process, water vapor may enter the through hole 21 and is difficult to clean. Therefore, a plug 3 can be inserted at the through hole 21 where the waterproof strip 2 is exposed. Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the plug 3 includes an insertion block 31 and a top block 32. The insertion block 31 is inserted into the through hole 21, and the shape of the insertion block 31 is the same as that of the through hole 21, that is, the side walls of the insertion block 31 and the through hole 21 can completely fit. Please refer to Figure 7 , a top block 32 is integrally formed at the top of the insertion block 31. Please refer to Figure 6 , the top block 32 is arranged outside the through hole 21, and the surface of the top block 32 adjacent to the water guide groove 22 is an arc-shaped side surface 321, and the shape of the arc-shaped side surface 321 is the same as that of the water guide groove 22, so as to prevent the top block 32 from blocking the water flow and facilitating the water to flow out from the water guide groove 22.
[0035] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
