Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of monitoring and storage equipment technology, and in particular to a card cover with a waterproof structure that can be flipped open and closed at any time. Background Technology

[0002] In some devices, such as automotive hard drive enclosures, a flip-top cover is typically used to seal the enclosure. Because these enclosures house circuit modules and storage units, the requirements for waterproofing are relatively high to prevent water from entering and causing short circuits or even damage to the internal circuitry. To ensure waterproofing at the cover's joint, a sealing ring is usually placed between the cover and the enclosure's contact surface. The cover's locking mechanism locks it onto the enclosure while simultaneously pressing the sealing ring, causing it to deform under pressure and seal the gap at the edge of the joint, preventing external moisture from entering or seeping into the enclosure. However, since some devices may require opening the cover at any time to remove storage units such as memory cards for data reading, the sealing ring in existing technology is prone to falling off after the cover is opened. Reinstalling the sealing ring during reclosure is inconvenient and can easily lead to misalignment, compromising the waterproofing effect and posing a significant safety hazard.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a card cover with a waterproof structure that can be flipped open and closed at any time.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a waterproof cover with a flip-top structure is provided, comprising: a cover, a pressure plate locked and fixed on the cover, and a sealing member disposed between the cover and the pressure plate. The edge of the sealing member protrudes outward. When the pressure plate presses the sealing member onto the cover, the edge of the sealing member protrudes from between the pressure plate and the cover.

[0006] Furthermore, the seal adopts a sheet-like structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the card cover is provided with a plurality of positioning posts corresponding to the sealing element, and the sealing element is provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning posts, with the positioning posts passing through the positioning holes.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressure plate is provided with a locking hole corresponding to the positioning post, and the positioning post is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the locking hole. By passing a screw through the locking hole and locking it in the threaded hole, the sealing element is pressed between the pressure plate and the cover.

[0009] Furthermore, a pivot is inserted into one end of the card cover.

[0010] Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided at one or both ends of the card cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking mechanism employs a snap-on anti-loosening screw.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking mechanism employs a latch.

[0013] Using the above solution, this utility model uses a pressure plate to press the sealing element between the pressure plate and the cover, causing the edge of the sealing element to protrude outwards between the pressure plate and the cover. When the cover is closed onto the opening of the housing, the pressure plate is embedded in the opening, and the edge of the sealing element contacts the inner edge of the opening. The inner edge of the opening compresses the sealing element, thereby filling the gap at the opening. Furthermore, because the sealing element is pressed tightly between the cover and the pressure plate, misalignment of the sealing element during opening and closing of the cover can be avoided, ensuring a waterproof seal.

[0015] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of this utility model.

[0016] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model assembled on the box body. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a waterproof cover with a flip-open and closure structure, comprising: a cover 1, a pressure plate 2 locked and fixed to the cover 1, and a sealing element 3 disposed between the cover 1 and the pressure plate 2. The edge of the sealing element 3 protrudes outward. When the pressure plate 2 presses the sealing element 3 onto the cover 1, the edge of the sealing element 3 protrudes from between the pressure plate 2 and the cover 1. When the cover 1 is closed at the opening 61 of the box body 6, the pressure plate 2 is embedded in the opening 61, and the edge of the sealing element 3 is pressed against the inner sidewall edge of the opening 61, thereby squeezing the protruding part of the sealing element 3, causing the sealing element 3 to be deformed by compression, and thus sealing the gap between the pressure plate 2 and the opening 61 of the box body 6, thereby achieving the waterproof sealing requirement of the box body 6. When it is necessary to open the cover 1, the cover 1 is moved away from the opening 61, allowing the pressure plate 2 and the sealing element 3 to separate from the opening 61, thereby facilitating the removal or placement of items from the box body 6. When resealing is required, since the seal 3 is pressed tightly between the pressure plate 2 and the cover 1, there is no need to reposition or adjust the seal 3. The operation is quick and easy, and it effectively ensures that the seal 3 will not shift during opening and closing, thus guaranteeing a waterproof seal. By pressing the edge of the seal 3, an interference fit is achieved between the seal 3 and the inner wall of the opening 61 of the box body 6, thereby achieving an IP67 protection rating and effectively preventing moisture from entering the box body 6, ensuring a waterproof seal.

[0019] The cover 1 can be rectangular, square, circular, or oval, etc., to close the opening 61 of the box body 6 and improve the aesthetic and decorative effect.

[0020] In some embodiments, the sealing element 3 has a sheet-like structure, which facilitates the clamping and fixing of the sealing element 3 by the cover 1 and the pressure plate 2, thereby preventing the sealing element 3 from shifting during the opening and closing of the cover 1. In some optional embodiments, the sealing element 3 has a central protrusion, and the edge of the pressure plate 2 is folded towards the sealing element 3, so that the edge of the pressure plate 2 wraps around the outer side of the central protrusion of the sealing element 3, thereby effectively fixing the sealing element 3 and preventing it from shifting or displacing, thus achieving an effective waterproof seal.

[0021] In some embodiments, the cover 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning posts 11 corresponding to the sealing element 3, and the sealing element 3 is provided with positioning holes 31 corresponding to the positioning posts 11, with the positioning posts 11 passing through the positioning holes 31. By having the positioning posts 11 pass through the positioning holes 31, the sealing element 3 is limited, preventing it from moving.

[0022] In some embodiments, the pressure plate 2 is provided with a locking hole 21 corresponding to the positioning post 11, and the positioning post 11 is provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the locking hole 21. By passing a screw through the locking hole 21 and locking it in the threaded hole, the sealing element 3 is pressed between the pressure plate 2 and the cover 1, thereby achieving the pressing and fixing of the sealing element 3.

[0023] In some embodiments, a pivot 4 is inserted through one end of the cover 1, and the cover 1 is rotatably connected to the edge of the box body 6 through the pivot 4, which facilitates the closing and opening of the cover 1. After the cover 1 is opened, the cover 1 and the box body 6 are always connected together during the opening and closing process, so as to prevent the cover 1 from being lost or falling off.

[0024] In some embodiments, a locking mechanism 5 is provided at one or both ends of the cover 1. After the cover 1 is closed, the locking mechanism 5 locks the cover 1 onto the box body 6, preventing the cover 1 from falling off the box body 6 and affecting the sealing effect of the box body 6.

[0025] In some optional embodiments, the locking mechanism 5 uses a cover anti-loosening screw, which directly locks the cover 1 to the cover body, thereby enabling quick installation and removal of the cover 1 and ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover 1 and the box body 6.

[0026] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 5 is a latch. By inserting a key into the latch's lock hole and then turning the key, the latch's bolt rotates and locks the bolt below the opening 61 of the box body 6, thereby restricting the opening action of the cover 1 from the box body 6 and achieving the locking and fixing of the cover 1.

[0027] In summary, this invention uses a pressure plate to press the sealing element between the pressure plate and the cover, causing the edge of the sealing element to protrude outwards between the pressure plate and the cover. When the cover is closed onto the opening of the housing, the pressure plate is embedded in the opening, and the edge of the sealing element contacts the inner edge of the opening. The inner edge of the opening compresses the sealing element, thus filling the gap at the opening. Furthermore, because the sealing element is pressed tightly between the cover and the pressure plate, misalignment of the sealing element during opening and closing of the cover is prevented, ensuring a waterproof seal.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
