AI Technical Summary
In existing waterproof earphone button structures, elastic components can easily cause water to enter the gaps when the buttons are deformed, and the water is difficult to air-dry, affecting the internal sealing and service life of the earphones.
The design combines a rubber pad with a water-absorbing silicone strip. The first connecting groove is matched with the fixed part to enhance the sealing. The water-absorbing silicone strip absorbs moisture and expands, reducing the gap. The ventilation holes increase the contact area between moisture and air to facilitate air drying. At the same time, the positioning holes and sealing rings are used to improve the stability and sealing of the buttons.
Effectively prevent moisture from entering the earphones, improve sealing and waterproof effects, extend the service life of the earphones, and enhance button feel and stability.

[0002] With the technical progress of consumer electronics, various daily wearing electronic devices begin to have requirements on waterproof performance, the button of the electronic device has a certain gap due to the space left for the button activity, and water is more likely to enter, so the waterproof of the button structure is crucial.
[0003] The waterproof effect of the earphone button is mainly achieved by reducing the gap through the one-piece design of the internal structure of the button to improve the waterproof performance, and by setting a waterproof structure to isolate the external water from the internal electronic elements, such as commonly using a film with waterproof performance, and how to connect the earphone shell and internal structure with the waterproof material in the waterproof structure and ensure a certain sealing directly affects the waterproof effect of the waterproof structure.
[0004] The existing waterproof structure usually relies on glue to connect the film with the shell of the earphone, however, the glue is not stable and aging, which makes the connection part unstable, the improved waterproof structure adopts the way of clamping and fixing between parts, such as clamping the outer edge of the film to the earphone shell, however, due to the certain stroke of the button, the film deforms when the button is pressed, the gap between the edge of the film and the earphone shell is easy to increase, if water enters at this time, the water is easy to stay in the gap when the button and the film reset, and due to the very narrow gap when the button is not pressed, it is difficult to dry with air, which is easy to cause the increase of water vapor in the earphone shell, and has a negative impact on the service life of the parts of the earphone.
