Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of three-proof technology, specifically a waterproof structure for a host waterproof ring. Background Technology
[0002] Waterproofing the host device refers to a technology or measure that protects electronic equipment, such as computer hosts and servers, from moisture damage. It involves environmental control, physical protection, and internal treatment to protect electronic equipment from moisture damage. Routine maintenance and emergency measures are also important, such as regular inspections, preparing desiccants, and developing contingency plans. Although the risk cannot be completely eliminated, it can effectively reduce the possibility of water damage and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
[0003] Existing waterproofing methods typically use silicone or silicone O-rings, with the front and rear shells pressed together with silicone through an interference fit. While this method is effective for sealing flat surfaces, it is less effective for sealing irregular surfaces. When waterproofing tests fail during production, external application of adhesive is required, which may increase labor costs and cause environmental pollution. Current waterproofing equipment is designed with flat surfaces for both the front and rear shells. When waterproofing tests fail on irregular surfaces, external adhesive is used for waterproofing, leading to increased labor costs and environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a waterproof structure for the host waterproof ring. It adopts a split silicone strip seal, which can adapt to the sealing and waterproofing of irregular planes, has a good sealing effect, and does not require additional glue for sealing, thus saving costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A waterproof structure for a host includes a front shell and a rear shell assembled with the front shell. The structure is characterized in that: the opening surfaces of the front and rear shells are Z-shaped, inclined in the middle and horizontal on both sides; a silicone sealing ring is provided between the edges of the opening surfaces of the front and rear shells; a sealing groove for inserting the silicone sealing ring is formed on the edge of the opening surface of the rear shell; and a sealing protrusion adapted to and connected to the sealing groove is formed on the edge of the opening surface of the front shell; the silicone sealing ring includes a first silicone strip and a second silicone strip with a U-shaped structure, the ends of the first and second silicone strips are connected to each other, and the connection point of the first and second silicone strips is located on the inclined section of the opening surface of the front and rear shells.
[0007] A further improvement of this utility model is that the first silicone strip has connecting grooves at both ends, and the second silicone strip has connecting strips at both ends that are adapted to connect with the connecting grooves.
[0008] A further improvement of this utility model is that the connecting groove and the connecting strip are interference fit.
[0009] A further improvement of this utility model is that the silicone sealing ring and the sealing groove are interference fit, and the silicone sealing ring is disposed at the bottom of the sealing groove and there is a gap between it and the opening of the sealing groove.
[0010] A further improvement of this utility model is that the sealing groove and the sealing protrusion are interference fit.
[0011] A further improvement of this invention is that the connection between the first silicone strip and the second silicone strip is located at the center of the inclined section of the opening surface of the front and rear shells.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This invention achieves a sealing effect through the interference assembly of the first and second silicone strips with the irregular opening surfaces of the front and rear shells in two directions. This improves production efficiency and waterproof reliability, reduces the risk of defective products, and thus enhances product quality while reducing labor costs. The use of two silicone strips allows for better sealing in Z-shaped irregular planes, effectively preventing the flat sealing ring from experiencing reset forces that could lead to seal failure. Furthermore, this invention enables products to achieve an IPX8 waterproof rating even in irregularly shaped equipment, ensuring high product yield during waterproof testing.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4A waterproof structure for a host includes a front shell 2 and a rear shell 1 assembled with the front shell 2. The opening surfaces of the front shell 2 and the rear shell 1 are Z-shaped with a central inclination and horizontal sides. A silicone sealing ring is provided between the edges of the opening surfaces of the front shell 2 and the rear shell 1. A sealing groove 5 for inserting the silicone sealing ring is formed on the edge of the opening surface of the rear shell 1. A sealing protrusion 8 adapted to and connected to the sealing groove 5 is formed on the edge of the opening surface of the front shell 2. The silicone sealing ring includes a first silicone strip 3 and a second silicone strip 4 with a U-shaped structure. The ends of the first silicone strip 3 and the second silicone strip 4 are connected to each other to form a complete silicone sealing ring.
