Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of metering equipment technology, and specifically relates to a waterproof structure for meters. Background Technology

[0002] Meters are used to record data such as electricity and water consumption. Most meters contain circuit boards for counting and calculation. Water entering the meter can damage the circuit modules inside, affecting the normal use of the meter.

[0003] Utility model application No. 2024206617644 discloses an ultrasonic water meter housing structure, including a housing base, a housing cover mounted on the top of the housing base, the housing cover being connected to the housing base by connecting screws, a glass window adhered to the inner side of the housing cover, a watch cover rotatably connected to the top surface of the housing cover via a connecting shaft, a snap-fit ​​block provided on the bottom surface of the watch cover, a snap-fit ​​groove adapted to the snap-fit ​​block on the top surface of the housing cover, an outer edge provided on the bottom edge of the housing cover, the inner wall of the outer edge fitting against the outer side of a sealing ring, the sealing ring being fitted onto the outer side of the inner edge, and the inner edge being located on the top surface of the housing base. The sealing ring, when compressed by the housing cover, can fully seal the connection between the housing cover and the housing base, making it easier to disassemble than glue sealing and providing better sealing than a flat gasket structure; the snap-fit ​​groove can engage the snap-fit ​​block, thereby locking the position of the watch cover and preventing it from automatically closing under gravity. The drawback of the aforementioned watch case is that while a sealing ring is used to seal the connection between the watch cover and the base, the sealing ring will age over time, affecting the sealing performance of the watch case.

[0033] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] A waterproof structure for a watch includes a cover 1 and a base 2 that overlap each other. The cover 1 has an insert 1-1 arranged on the contact surface between the cover 1 and the base 2. The base 2 has a slot 2-1 arranged on the contact surface between the base 2 and the cover 1. When the cover 1 and the base 2 are assembled, the insert 1-1 is inserted into the slot 2-1. The contact area between the cover 1 and the base 2 is increased by the cooperation of the insert 1-1 and the slot 2-1, thereby increasing the sealing performance of the cover and the base.

[0035] To further improve the sealing of the connection between the cover 1 and the base 2, a slot 2-2 is provided on the base 2. The slot 2-2 is located inside the slot 2-1. The end face of the cover 1 and the base 2 is in contact with the slot 2-2. The slot 2-2 is used to collect the liquid flowing through the insert 1-1, further preventing the liquid from flowing into the meter, thereby playing a further waterproof role. In this embodiment, two inserts 1-1 are provided on the cover 1. Correspondingly, two slots 2-1 are provided in the base 2. The two inserts 1-1 are respectively inserted into the slots 2-1. The slot 2-2 is located between adjacent slots 2-1.

[0036] A module slot 1-2 is provided on the cover 1, which is connected to the interior of the meter. The module slot 1-2 facilitates the connection of the external antenna to the circuit board inside the meter. An opening slot 1-7 is provided on the side wall of the module slot 1-2, and a silicone plug assembly 3 is installed in the opening slot 1-7. The antenna extends out of the cover 1 through the silicone plug assembly 3. A module cover 4 is installed on the cover 1 to cover the module slot 1-2. The module cover 4 abuts against the silicone plug assembly 3 to ensure the sealing performance of the silicone plug assembly 3.

[0037] The watch cover 1 is provided with fixing screws 1-8 and rotating buckles 1-9. The fixing screws 1-8 and rotating buckles 1-9 are respectively located on both sides of the watch cover 1. The watch cover 1 is fixed to the watch base 2 by fixing screws 1-8 and rotating buckles 1-9. The rotating buckles 1-9 are used to assemble one side of the watch cover 1 with the watch base 2. This can reduce the number of screws used, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the watch cover 1 and the watch base 2.

[0038] A guide arc groove 1-10 is provided inside the rotating buckle 1-9. Correspondingly, a fastening block 2-3 is provided inside the watch base 2. The guide arc groove 1-10 is fastened to the fastening block 2-3, thereby enabling the rotating buckle 1-9 to be connected to the watch base 2 through the fastening block 2-3. To ensure the sealing of the watch cover 1 and watch base 2 assembly on the side where the rotating buckle 1-9 and fastening block 2-3 are connected, a guide arc surface is provided at the bottom of the fastening block 2-3. The guide arc surface is adapted to the guide arc groove 1-10. When the rotating buckle 1-9 moves toward the fastening block 2-3, the guide arc groove 1-10, under the guidance of the guide arc surface, causes the rotating buckle 1-9 to move toward the watch base 2. When the guide arc groove 1-10 and the guide arc surface are fastened, the mating surfaces of the watch cover 1 and watch base 2 are tightly contacted under the action of the guide arc surface, thereby ensuring the sealing of the watch cover 1 and watch base 2 assembly.

[0039] The watch base 2 has a fastening groove 2-6, and two partition plates 2-7 are provided inside the fastening groove 2-6, thereby dividing the fastening groove 2-6 into two slots 2-1 and an empty slot 2-2. The watch base 2 has a fixing post 2-4 for connection with fixing screws 1-8. A semi-circular baffle 2-5 is provided on the inner side of the fixing post 2-4, and the semi-circular baffle 2-5 is connected to the inner side wall of the fastening groove 2-6 to improve the waterproof performance of the fixing post 2-4.

[0040] The silicone plug assembly 3 includes a mounting block 3-5 installed in the opening groove 1-7 and a detachable plug 3-6 arranged on the mounting block 3-5. A sealing ring 3-7 is provided in the middle of the plug 3-6 to ensure the sealing between the plug 3-6 and the mounting block 3-5. When the antenna module is required, the plug 3-6 is removed and the antenna extends out of the meter through the hole where the plug 3-6 is located. When the marking does not involve the antenna module, the plug 3-6 is inserted into the mounting block 3-5 to adapt to different functional requirements of the meter.

[0041] Two parallel insertion plates are provided in the opening slot 1-7. Correspondingly, a first step slot 3-1 and a second step slot 3-2 are provided on the mounting block 3-5. The two insertion plates in the opening slot 1-7 are respectively inserted into the first step slot 3-1 and the second step slot 3-2 to increase the assembly sealing between the opening slot 1-7 and the mounting block 3-5. After the module cover 4 is closed on the cover 1, the module cover 4 abuts against the second step slot 3-2 to ensure the connection sealing between the module cover 4 and the second step slot 3-2.

[0042] To facilitate the connection of the second stepped groove 3-2 with the opening groove 1-7 and the module cover 4 respectively, the second stepped groove 3-2 includes a first groove 3-3 and a second groove 3-4, wherein the first groove 3-3 is connected to the opening groove 1-7, the second groove 3-4 is connected to the module cover 4, and the first groove 3-3 and the second groove 3-4 are connected.

[0043] The end face connecting the module slot 1-2 and the module cover 4 is provided with a first sealing surface 1-3 and a second sealing surface 1-4 at different heights. The second sealing surface 1-4 is set higher than the first sealing surface 1-3. A sealing ring 4-1 is provided on the module cover 4. The end face of the sealing ring 4-1 abuts against the first sealing surface 1-3, and the inner wall of the module cover 4 abuts against the second sealing surface 1-4, thereby increasing the sealing performance of the connection between the module cover 4 and the module slot 1-2.

[0044] A certain gap is provided between the outer wall of the sealing ring 4-1 and the edge of the module cover 4 to form an extended sealing surface 4-2. A waterproof buffer surface 1-5 is provided on the outer side of the module groove 1-2. The height of the waterproof buffer surface 1-5 is higher than the height of the second sealing surface 1-4, and the extended sealing surface 4-2 abuts against the waterproof buffer surface 1-5 to play a waterproof buffering role.

[0045] Screw posts 1-6 are provided on both sides of the module slot 1-2, and the two sides of the module cover 4 are connected to the screw posts 1-6 by screws.
