[0047] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," "lateral," and "longitudinal" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are primarily for the purpose of better describing this application and its embodiments, and are not intended to limit the indicated device, element, or component to having a specific orientation, or to be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0049] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0050] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0051] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0052] In modern office environments, the digitization of paper documents has become an indispensable task, and office equipment (such as scanners and printers) plays a crucial role as the core tools in this process. Taking scanners as an example, they can quickly, accurately, and clearly capture image information on paper and convert it into digital signals. This conversion process not only greatly improves work efficiency but also provides an efficient and secure way to preserve vital documents. Through digitization, important documents can be instantly shared, permanently stored, and rapidly transmitted in virtual space, thus meeting the urgent needs of modern offices for information flow and management.

[0053] However, while enjoying the convenience of document scanning, the static electricity generated during the process is a significant concern. As paper is fed into the scanning device and slowly moves forward via the conveyor rollers and precision conveyor channels, friction inevitably occurs between the paper surface and these components due to the roller friction principle. This generates static electricity, which can accumulate to a high voltage level. On one hand, the static electricity on the paper surface easily causes adhesion between sheets of paper, between paper and the conveyor rollers, between paper and the image sensor module, or between paper and the conveyor channel, affecting normal paper transport and causing paper skewing or jamming. On the other hand, when the static electricity on the paper surface accumulates to a high voltage level, the image sensor module or internal components of the scanning device located in the conveyor channel are highly susceptible to electric shock and damage, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. In severe cases, this can even lead to equipment malfunction or data loss, threatening the user's work efficiency and information security.

[0054] In view of this, this application discloses an office device that, by placing a conductive component near the image sensing module, conducts the static electricity generated during paper delivery to ground using the conductive component, thereby preventing the image sensing module from being damaged by electric shock.

[0055] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0056] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 ,in, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the office equipment provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a side view of the office equipment provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 Sectional view of AA, Figure 4 for Figure 3 A magnified view of a section at point B. Figure 5 for Figure 4A magnified view of a portion at point C. This application discloses an office device 100, which includes a housing assembly 1, a paper feeding mechanism 2, a frame 3, conductive components 4, and an image sensing module 5.

[0057] The paper feeding mechanism 2 is located within the housing assembly 1 and is configured to feed paper. A frame 3 is also located within the housing assembly 1, forming a conveying channel 6 between the frame 3 and the paper feeding mechanism 2. The conveying channel 6 is configured for paper to pass through. An image sensing module 5 is located on the frame 3 and within the conveying channel 6, and is configured to acquire image information from the paper. A conductive component 4 is located on the frame 3 and within the conveying channel 6, adjacent to the image sensing module 5, and is grounded to conduct static electricity from the paper.

[0058] It is understood that the aforementioned transmission channel 6 refers to the path through which paper enters the office equipment 100 from the paper inlet 21 and exits the office equipment 100 through the paper outlet 22.

[0059] The height direction F3 of office equipment 100 extends from its bottom to its top. Office equipment 100 also has a length direction F1 and a width direction F2. The width direction of the paper inlet 21 (corresponding to the width direction of the paper) is parallel to the width direction F2 of office equipment 100. Among the length direction F1, width direction F2, and height direction F3 of office equipment 100, each pair of directions is perpendicular. That is, the width direction F2 is perpendicular to the height direction F3, the width direction F2 is perpendicular to the length direction F1, and the height direction F3 is perpendicular to the length direction F1.

[0060] Considering that the paper is fed through the conveyor channel 6, it will rub against the inner wall of the paper feeding channel (i.e., the aforementioned conveyor channel 6) and the paper feeding mechanism 2 used to feed the paper. The paper generates static electricity due to this continuous friction, which may cause the image sensing module 5 to be shocked. Therefore, the office equipment 100 disclosed in this application adds a conductive component 4 and positions it close to the image sensing module 5, grounding the conductive component 4. This allows the conductive component 4, located near the image sensing module 5, to discharge static electricity from the paper, effectively preventing the image sensing module 5 from being shocked due to static electricity accumulation and thus avoiding damage to the image sensing module 5. This further improves the reliability of the office equipment 100.

[0061] It is understandable that contact electrostatic conduction can be achieved between the conductive component 4 and the paper. Alternatively, non-contact electrostatic conduction can also be achieved between the conductive component 4 and the paper. This is due to the height limitation of the conveying channel 6 itself. Since the distance between the conductive component 4 and the paper is already small enough, under the electric field of high voltage electrostatics, the air will be broken down to form a conductive path, thereby achieving non-contact electrostatic conduction between the conductive component 4 and the paper.

[0062] Optionally, office equipment 100 may include, but is not limited to, printing equipment, copying equipment, scanning equipment, fax equipment, etc., and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0063] Optionally, the housing assembly 1 may include a top cover 11, a middle frame 12 and a bottom shell 13. The top cover 11 and the bottom shell 13 are connected to opposite sides of the middle frame 12 along the height direction F3 and enclose a receiving space. The receiving space can be used to install the frame 3, paper feeding mechanism 2, conductive components 4, image sensing module 5, motherboard and power supply of the office equipment 100.

[0064] Optionally, the paper feeding mechanism 2 may include multiple sets of conveying rollers. The multiple sets of conveying rollers are located on the frame 3 and distributed at intervals in the conveying channel 6. The multiple sets of conveying rollers can realize the paper conveying based on the principle of friction.

[0065] Optionally, the frame 3 can be made of plastic and is used to support various components of the office equipment 100.

[0066] Optionally, the material of the conductive component 4 may include, but is not limited to, conductive metals such as copper, aluminum, iron, and zinc. Alternatively, the material of the conductive component 4 may also be conductive plastic or conductive rubber, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0067] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the frame 3 includes a main body 31 and a first guide 32. The first guide 32 is connected to the main body 31 and is configured to form a conveying channel 6 together with the main body 31 and the paper feeding mechanism 2. The image sensing module 5 is disposed on the main body 31 and located on one side of the first guide 32. The first guide 32 is also configured to guide the paper through the image sensing module 5 when the paper feeding mechanism 2 conveys the paper.

[0068] Optionally, the main body 31 is generally a long, narrow frame used to support the paper feeding mechanism 2 and the image sensing module 5, and forms a conveying channel 6 with the housing assembly 1.

[0069] Optionally, the first guide portion 32 is disposed near the paper inlet. Along the conveying direction, the end of the first guide portion 32 away from the image sensing module 5 is inclined toward the image sensing module 5, so that the first guide portion 32 forms an inclined surface in the conveying channel 6, so that the first guide portion 32 guides the paper to be conveyed to the image sensing module 5.

[0070] It is understandable that the conveying direction is the direction in which the paper passes through conveyor channel 6, combined with... Figure 4 , Figure 4 The dashed arrow in the image indicates the direction of transmission.

[0071] In some embodiments, the conductive component 4 may be a conductive sheet, conductive block, conductive strip, etc., and this application does not limit this. The conductive component 4 may be a long strip-shaped sheet, block, or strip extending along the width direction F2, and this application does not limit this.

[0072] In some embodiments, the conductive component 4 includes a first conductive portion 41, which is configured to be disposed on the first guide portion 32 to conduct static electricity on the paper.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first conductive part 41 of the conductive component 4 is disposed on the first guide part 32 of the frame 3 so that the static electricity on the paper in the conveying channel 6 can be discharged through the first conductive part 41 when the paper passes through the first guide part 32, thereby realizing the elimination of static electricity on the paper.

[0074] Optionally, the first conductive part 41 is attached to the first guide part 32, so that the placement of the first conductive part 41 can discharge static electricity on the paper without hindering the normal passage of the paper, thereby providing electrostatic protection for the image sensing module 5, improving the reliability of the office equipment 100, and effectively extending the service life of the office equipment 100. For example, the first conductive part 41 can be directly attached to the first guide part by, for example, adhesive. Alternatively, the first conductive part 41 can be attached directly to the surface of the first guide part 32 in a surface-to-surface contact manner without adhesive.

[0075] Optionally, the frame 3 further includes a second guide section 33. The main body 31 is provided with a receiving groove 311 opening towards the conveying channel 6. The first guide section 32 and the second guide section 33 are respectively located on both sides of the receiving groove 311 along the conveying direction. The receiving groove 311 is configured to receive the image sensing module 5. The receiving groove 311 has two opposite side walls 3111 along the conveying direction. The second guide section 33 is configured to guide the paper passing through the image sensing module 5. By including the second guide section 33 in the frame 3, the paper continues to be conveyed by the paper feeding mechanism 2 after passing the image sensing module 5 and passes through the second guide section 33. The second guide section 33 smoothly transitions with the image sensing module 5 and the main body 31 and is inclined towards the paper output port 22 to facilitate the smooth delivery of the paper out of the office equipment 100.

[0076] Optionally, the second guide 33 is disposed near the paper outlet 22. Along the conveying direction, the end of the second guide away from the image sensing module 5 is inclined toward the image sensing module 5, so that the second guide 33 forms an inclined surface in the conveying channel 6, so that the second guide 33 guides the paper to the paper outlet 22.

[0077] Optionally, the conductive component 4 further includes a second conductive part 42, which is connected to the first conductive part 41. The second conductive part 42 is attached to the side wall surface 3111, and there is a gap between the second conductive part 42 and the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction. The conveying direction is the direction in which the paper passes through the conveying channel 6.

[0078] The first guide portion 32, the second guide portion 33, and the main body portion 31 together form the paper transport channel 6. To enable the image sensing module 5 to scan the paper in the transport channel 6, a receiving groove 311 opening towards the transport channel 6 is provided on the main body portion 31. The receiving groove 311 provides space to house the image sensing module 5, ensuring that the image sensing module 5 does not obstruct the paper transport in the transport channel 6. Furthermore, a second conductive portion 42 connected to the first conductive portion 41 is provided on the side wall surface 3111 of the receiving groove 311, extending into the receiving groove 311. By simultaneously providing the first conductive portion 41 and the second conductive portion 42 in contact with the transport channel 6, the edge of the first guide portion 32 can smoothly transition with the second guide portion 33, thereby improving the smoothness of paper communication. Moreover, the second conductive portion 42's contact with the side wall surface 3111 of the receiving groove 311 increases the contact area between the conductive component 4 and the frame 3, improving the fixation effect of the conductive component 4. In addition, there is a gap between the second conductive part 42 and the image sensing module 5, so that the conductive part 4 and the image sensing module 5 are not conductive, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the image sensing module 5 being damaged by electric shock.

[0079] Please see Figure 6 ,in, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the image sensing module, conductive component, grounding component, and elastic component provided in an embodiment of this application. Optionally, the conductive component 4 includes multiple components, which are disposed on both sides of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction. By disposing of multiple conductive components 4 on both sides of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction, the electrostatic discharge effect of the paper when passing through the image sensing module 5 can be effectively improved, thereby effectively protecting the image sensing module 5 and improving the reliability of the office equipment 100.

[0080] For example, when there are two conductive components 4, the two conductive components 4 are respectively disposed on both sides of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction, thereby realizing electrostatic discharge from both sides of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction, and further providing electrostatic protection for the image sensing module 5. Of course, as other examples, there can be three, four, five, etc., conductive components 4, and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0081] For example, when there are three conductive components 4, the three conductive components 4 are respectively disposed on both sides of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction. For example, two conductive components 4 are disposed on one side of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction, and one conductive component 4 is disposed on the other side of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0082] For example, when there are four conductive components 4, the four conductive components 4 are respectively disposed on both sides of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction. For example, two conductive components 4 are disposed on one side of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction, and two conductive components 4 are disposed on the other side of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction; or, for example, three conductive components 4 are disposed on one side of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction, and one conductive component 4 is disposed on the other side of the image sensing module 5 along the conveying direction. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0083] Please refer to the following: Figures 5 to 8 ,in, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the frame, image sensing module, conductive component, and grounding component provided in an embodiment of this application, from one perspective. Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the conductive component provided in an embodiment of this application. Optionally, the first conductive part 41 and the second conductive part 42 are bent and connected. The end of the first conductive part 41 away from the second conductive part 42 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 411. The first guide part 32 is provided with a slot 321. The snap-fit ​​part 411 is configured to snap into the slot 321 to limit the position of the conductive component 4 on the first guide part 32. The snap-fit ​​part 411 of the conductive component 4 snaps into the slot 321 of the first guide part 32, so that the conductive component 4 is fixed on the first guide part 32. At the same time, one end of the first conductive part 41 is bent and connected to the second conductive part 42, and the snap-fit ​​part 411 is also bent and connected to the other end of the first conductive part 41. That is, the second conductive part 42 is bent and connected to one end of the first conductive part 41 in the direction away from the conveying channel 6, and the snap-fit ​​part 411 is also bent and connected to the other end of the first conductive part 41 in the direction away from the conveying channel 6. Therefore, the first conductive part 41 is located in the conveying channel 6. The two ends of the first conductive part 41 along the conveying direction have no corners. Instead, the edges of the first conductive part 41 are smoothly transitioned by bending and connecting with the snap-fit ​​part 411 and the second conductive part 42. This effectively prevents the paper from being jammed or punctured by the corners of the first conductive part 41 during the conveying process, thereby effectively improving the smoothness of the paper conveying in the conveying channel 6.

[0084] It is understood that the second conductive part 42 extends along the height direction F3 and is attached to the side wall surface 3111 of the receiving groove 311; the snap-fit ​​part 411 extends along the height direction F3 and snaps into the slot 321, and the second conductive part 42 and the snap-fit ​​part 411 are disposed away from the transmission channel 6.

[0085] For example, the connection between the card slot 321 and the card connector 411 can be an interference fit connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or an adhesive bonding, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0086] Optionally, the first conductive part 41, the second conductive part 42, and the snap-fit ​​part 411 can be integrally formed or separately formed; this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0087] Optionally, the first conductive part 41, the second conductive part 42, and the snap-fit ​​part 411 can all be elongated conductive sheets, conductive strips, or conductive blocks extending along the width direction F2, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0088] Please refer to it again. Figure 7Optionally, the bottom wall surface 3112 of the receiving groove 311 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 3112a. The conductive component 4 also includes a plug-in portion 43, which is disposed on the side of the second conductive portion 42 opposite to the first conductive portion 41. The plug-in portion 43 is configured to be inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 3112a to limit the position of the conductive component 4 in the receiving groove 311. The plug-in portion 43 can further fix the conductive component 4.

[0089] Specifically, after the insertion part 43 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​hole 3112a along the height direction F3, it needs to be bent so that the insertion part 43 is attached to the bottom wall surface 3112 of the receiving groove 311. Therefore, the connection between the conductive component 4 and the frame 3 does not require glue bonding, snap-fit ​​connection, or other methods, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the office equipment 100 and improves the ease of manufacturing. In addition, the snap-fit ​​part 411 snaps into the slot 321 along the height direction F3. The connection method between the snap-fit ​​part 411 and the slot 321 can include, but is not limited to, interference fit connection, glue bonding, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0090] It is understood that the insertion part 43 includes multiple insertion parts 43, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the image sensing module 5. At this time, the bottom wall surface 3112 of the receiving groove 311 has multiple snap-fit ​​holes 3112a, and the multiple insertion parts 43 correspond to the multiple snap-fit ​​holes 3112a so that the insertion parts 43 are inserted into the snap-fit ​​holes 3112a, thereby fixing the conductive component 4. The length direction of the image sensing module 5 is the width direction F2 of the office equipment.

[0091] Optionally, the plug-in portion 43 can be a conductive sheet, conductive strip, conductive block, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0092] Optionally, the second conductive part 42 is further provided with a grounding part 421 on the side opposite to the first conductive part 41. The grounding part 421 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 3112a and is configured to ground to conduct static electricity.

[0093] It is understood that the grounding part 421 may be composed of one or more plug-in parts 43, that is, the plug-in part 43 can not only perform the plug-in function, but also the grounding function. The grounding part 421 is configured to be connected to the system ground of the office equipment 100 to conduct static electricity transmitted from the first conductive part 41 and conduct it to the system ground.

[0094] In this context, "system ground" can refer to the grounding terminal of the motherboard in office equipment 100.

[0095] Optionally, the grounding part 421 can be a conductive sheet, conductive strip, conductive block, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0096] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the office equipment 100 further includes a grounding element 7, which is configured such that one end is connected to the grounding portion 421 and the other end extends to one side of the first guide portion 32 along a first direction to conduct static electricity. The first direction intersects the conveying direction. Through the cooperation of the first guide portion 32, the second guide portion 33, the grounding portion 421, and the grounding element 7, the conductive component 4 located in the conveying channel 6 is connected to the system ground of the office equipment 100, and the grounding element 7 extends to one side of the first guide portion 32 along the first direction, that is, to one side of the frame 3. This facilitates the connection between the conductive component 4 and the system ground, and facilitates the arrangement and operation of the internal structure of the office equipment 100 by researchers. The first direction is the width direction F2 of the office equipment 100.

[0097] Optionally, the grounding element 7 can be a cylindrical rod, a long strip block, or a strip shape; this embodiment does not limit the specific shape.

[0098] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 and Figure 7 Optionally, a grounding element 7 can be connected to two conductive components 4 respectively. Each conductive component 4 is provided with a grounding part 421. A grounding element 7 can be connected to the grounding parts 421 of two conductive components 4 simultaneously, thereby achieving grounding of the two conductive components 4. Of course, as another example, each conductive component 4 can also be connected to a corresponding grounding element 7, and this embodiment of the application does not limit this.

[0099] Specifically, a notch 4211 may be provided on the grounding part 421, and the grounding member 7 is snapped onto the notch 4211 of the grounding part 421 so that the conductive member 4 and the grounding member 7 are electrically connected. The connection method of connecting the conductive member 4 and the grounding member 7 through the notch 4211 can be an interference fit connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this.

[0100] In other embodiments, the office equipment 100 further includes a grounding member 7, one end of which is electrically connected to the conductive member 4, and the other end of which is grounded. The conductive member 4 is directly connected to the grounding member 7, enabling direct discharge of static electricity from the paper. Since the conductive member 4 is made of a conductive material, the grounding member 7 can be electrically connected to the first guide portion 32, or it can be electrically connected to the second guide portion 33, or it can be electrically connected to the plug portion 43, to discharge static electricity from the paper. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0101] Alternatively, the conductive component 4 may be grounded directly without being grounded through the grounding component 7. In this application, grounding refers to electrical connection with the system ground.

[0102] The material of the grounding component 7 may include, but is not limited to, conductive metals such as copper, aluminum, iron, and zinc, conductive plastics, or conductive rubber. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0103] Please refer to the following: Figures 9 to 10 ,in, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the framework, image sensing module, conductive component, and grounding component provided in an embodiment of this application, from another perspective. Figure 10 for Figure 9 A magnified view of a portion at point D. In some embodiments, the image sensing module 5 is provided with a first latching part 51, and the frame 3 is provided with a second latching part 34. The first latching part 51 is configured to be movably latched to the second latching part 34 along the height direction of the frame 3, so that the image sensing module 5 is movably mounted on the frame 3.

[0104] Specifically, the first latching part 51 of the image sensing module 5 is fastened to the second latching part 34 of the frame 3, so that the image sensing module 5 can be installed on the frame 3, and the image sensing module 5 can be easily disassembled and installed, which is beneficial for maintenance personnel to install, repair or replace the image sensing module 5.

[0105] Meanwhile, the snap-fit ​​connection between the first snap-fit ​​part 51 and the second snap-fit ​​part 34 allows the image sensing module 5 to be movably mounted on the frame 3. This is because in office settings, the thickness of paper varies, and the image sensing module 5 is used to be attached to the paper surface to scan the paper. Therefore, the image sensing module 5 can be movably mounted on the frame 3 and can move along the height direction of the frame 3 in the conveying channel 6. That is, it can be movably set in the height direction of the conveying channel 6, thereby adjusting the channel height of the conveying channel 6 to accommodate paper of different thicknesses passing through the conveying channel 6.

[0106] Optionally, the first latching part 51 can be a protrusion or a ridge, and a portion of the first latching part 51 is inclined to form a wedge shape, so that the first latching part 51 can be easily latched onto the second latching part 34. In addition, the second latching part 34 is a locking hole, in which space is reserved for the movement of the first latching part 51. The movement height of the first latching part 51 in the second latching part 34 is the movement height of the image sensing module 5 in the transmission channel 6 along the height direction.

[0107] Optionally, the office equipment 100 includes a flexible element 8, one end of which is connected to the frame 3 (in conjunction with...). Figure 4As shown, the other end is connected to the image sensing module 5. The elastic element 8 is configured to provide a margin for the image sensing module 5 to move relative to the frame 3 along the height direction of the frame 3. By connecting the image sensing module 5 to the frame 3 through the elastic element 8, the image sensing module 5 can play a positioning and connecting role, and at the same time, it can also achieve a certain margin of movement, so that when paper of different thicknesses passes through the conveyor channel 6, the image sensing module 5 can be attached to the surface of the paper, thereby achieving a high-quality scanning effect.

[0108] It is understood that one end of the elastic element 8 is connected to the frame 3, that is, one end of the elastic element 8 is connected to the bottom wall surface 3112 of the receiving groove 311. The bottom wall surface 3112 of the receiving groove 311 is provided with a groove for accommodating the elastic element 8.

[0109] Optionally, the elastic element 8 includes multiple elastic elements 8, which are symmetrically arranged between the frame 3 and the image sensing module 5 along the length direction of the image sensing module 5, so that the image sensing module 5 can be balanced on the transmission channel 6, and at the same time, it can also provide better support for the image sensing module 5.

[0110] Among them, the elastic element 8 includes, but is not limited to, springs, sheet metal, silicone parts, etc., and the embodiments of this application do not limit it.

[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
