Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic communication equipment protection, and more specifically, to a waterproof and dustproof structure for electronic communication equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In today's era of rapid technological advancement, electronic communication devices have become indispensable tools in people's lives and work. From smartphones and tablets to industrial communication base station equipment, the application range of electronic communication devices is becoming increasingly wide, and the requirements for their performance and stability are also becoming increasingly stringent. However, existing electronic communication devices have many shortcomings in terms of waterproofing and dustproofing, which seriously affect the service life and performance of the equipment.
[0003] Currently, many electronic communication devices have relatively simple dustproof structures, mainly relying on the basic sealed structure of the casing. While this structure may meet basic needs in relatively dusty indoor environments, in harsh environments such as dusty industrial production sites, construction sites, and deserts, dust can easily enter the device through gaps and ventilation holes in the casing. Dust accumulation on critical electronic components such as circuit boards and chips affects their heat dissipation performance, leading to overheating, reduced device operating speed, and even malfunctions such as crashes and restarts. Long-term dust corrosion also accelerates component aging and wear, shortening the device's lifespan. For example, in some mining sites, due to the large amount of dust in the air, ordinary electronic communication equipment often malfunctions within a short period due to dust accumulation, requiring frequent repairs and replacements, increasing operating costs and severely impacting work efficiency.
[0004] Most existing electronic communication devices have waterproof structures that can only withstand minor splashes, offering insufficient protection against severe water immersion or prolonged exposure to humid environments. Interfaces and button gaps are common entry points for moisture. Once water gets inside, it can cause short circuits and other serious problems, leading to device damage. Waterproofing is particularly important in outdoor rainy weather, damp basements, and coastal environments. However, many existing electronic communication devices often fail to provide effective protection in these situations. For example, some outdoor surveillance and communication equipment is easily damaged by rainwater seepage during heavy rain, affecting the normal operation of the monitoring system and posing security risks.
[0005] Existing waterproof and dustproof structures for electronic communication equipment are typically quite simple, lacking multi-layered and comprehensive protective measures. A single protective structure is insufficient to cope with complex and ever-changing environmental conditions. Therefore, we propose an improved waterproof and dustproof structure for electronic communication equipment. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problems raised in the existing background technology. To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a waterproof and dustproof structure for an electronic communication device, comprising an electronic communication device housing, a dustproof cover on the front side of the housing, a dustproof rubber strip on the outer edge of the dustproof cover, a waterproof sealing film on the rear side of the dustproof cover, a dust cover on the top of the housing, and a silicone dustproof gasket at the edge of the housing.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a waterproof isolation plate is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the electronic communication equipment housing.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a dustproof silicone sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the dust cover and the outer shell of the electronic communication equipment.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a waterproof isolation plate is provided at the lower part of the outer casing of the electronic communication equipment.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a waterproof side baffle is provided on the side of the housing of the electronic communication device.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the waterproof side baffle is attached with a waterproof membrane.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a waterproof foam sealing strip is provided at the inner corner of the outer casing of the electronic communication device.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a raised rubber pad is provided at the bottom of the outer casing of the electronic communication device.
[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a hook and loop are provided on the upper part of the outer casing of the electronic communication device.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The front dust cover, combined with the dustproof rubber strip on the outer edge, fits tightly against the outer shell, effectively blocking the intrusion of dust from the front; the upper dust cover and the dustproof silicone sealing gasket at the connection prevent dust falling from above from entering; and the silicone dustproof gasket around the edge of the outer shell prevents dust from seeping in from the edge gaps. This multi-layered dustproof structure can significantly reduce the accumulation of dust inside the equipment, ensuring that electronic components operate stably in a clean environment.
[0016] This invention achieves excellent waterproofing through the synergistic action of multiple waterproof components. The waterproof sealing film on the back of the dust cover prevents water droplets or splashes from penetrating; the waterproof isolation plates at the bottom and lower part of the interior limit the diffusion of moisture entering the equipment, protecting critical electronic components; the waterproof side panels and attached waterproof membranes block water splashing in from the sides; the waterproof foam sealing strips at the inner corners seal gaps, preventing water from seeping in from the corners; and the raised rubber pad at the bottom elevates the equipment, preventing contact with water on the ground. These measures work together to ensure the equipment operates normally in humid or water-stained environments.
[0017] This invention provides effective waterproof and dustproof protection, reducing the probability of equipment failure caused by dust accumulation and moisture intrusion. Dust can affect the heat dissipation performance of circuit boards, leading to overheating and damage to components; moisture can cause short circuits and burn out electronic components. The design avoids these problems, making equipment operation more stable and reducing maintenance frequency and costs.
[0018] The excellent protective environment of this invention can slow down the aging process of electronic components. The erosion of dust and moisture will accelerate the oxidation and corrosion process of components, while the waterproof and dustproof structure provides a relatively stable and clean working environment for the components, extending their service life and thus improving the durability of the entire device.
[0019] This invention enables electronic communication equipment to operate normally in a variety of harsh environments, such as dusty construction sites, damp basements, and rainy outdoor conditions. Whether in dusty industrial environments or under complex and changeable outdoor weather conditions, the equipment maintains stable operation thanks to its waterproof and dustproof performance, meeting the communication needs of different users in various special environments.
[0020] The hooks and loops located on the top of the casing provide convenience for hanging or securing the device. Users can hang the device in a suitable position according to their actual needs, which not only saves space but also avoids placing the device directly in places where there may be water stains or a lot of dust.

It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0029] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-4 A waterproof and dustproof structure for an electronic communication device includes an electronic communication device housing 1, a dustproof cover 2 on the front side of the electronic communication device housing 1, a dustproof rubber strip 3 on the outer edge of the dustproof cover 2, a waterproof sealing film 4 on the rear side of the dustproof cover 2, a dust cover 5 on the top of the electronic communication device housing 1, and a silicone dustproof pad 6 at the edge of the electronic communication device housing 1.
[0030] A waterproof isolation plate 7 is installed at the bottom of the inner part of the electronic communication equipment housing 1. A dustproof silicone sealing gasket 501 is installed at the connection between the dust cover 5 and the electronic communication equipment housing 1. A waterproof isolation plate 7 is installed at the bottom of the electronic communication equipment housing 1. A waterproof side baffle 8 is installed on the side of the electronic communication equipment housing 1.
[0031] A waterproof membrane 801 is attached to the waterproof side panel 8. Waterproof foam sealing strips 9 are provided at the inner corners of the electronic communication equipment housing 1. A raised rubber pad 10 is provided at the bottom of the electronic communication equipment housing 1. A hook and loop 11 is provided at the top of the electronic communication equipment housing 1.
[0032] The working principle of the waterproof and dustproof structure of electronic communication equipment: The waterproof and dustproof structure forms a multi-layered and all-round protection system by setting various protective components at different positions of the outer shell 1 of the electronic communication equipment. This effectively prevents dust and moisture from entering the interior of the electronic communication equipment, ensuring the normal operation and service life of the equipment.
[0033] The dust cover 2 is installed on the front side of the electronic communication equipment housing 1, and the dustproof rubber strip 3 on its outer edge plays a crucial sealing role. When the dust cover 2 is closed, the dustproof rubber strip 3 fits tightly against the edge of the electronic communication equipment housing 1, forming a sealed barrier. This barrier can prevent dust from entering the equipment from the gap between the dust cover 2 and the housing, preventing dust accumulation from damaging the electronic components of the equipment, such as affecting the normal operation of the circuit board and reducing heat dissipation efficiency.
[0034] The dust cover 5 installed on the top of the electronic communication equipment housing 1 can block dust falling from above. The dustproof silicone sealing gasket 501 at the connection between the dust cover 5 and the electronic communication equipment housing 1 further enhances the sealing of the connection. It fills the gap between the dust cover 5 and the housing, preventing dust from entering the equipment through this gap and providing additional dust protection for the equipment.
[0035] A silicone dustproof pad 6 is provided at the edge of the outer casing 1 of the electronic communication equipment, surrounding the perimeter of the casing. It can prevent dust from entering the equipment from the edge gaps of the casing. Together with the dustproof measures of the dust cover 2 and dust shield 5, it forms a complete dustproof enclosure, protecting the equipment from dust damage in all directions.
[0036] The waterproof sealing film 4, located on the rear side of the dust cover 2, adheres tightly to the front surface of the outer casing 1 of the electronic communication equipment when the dust cover 2 is closed. When water droplets or splashes come into contact with the dust cover 2, the waterproof sealing film 4 can prevent moisture from penetrating into the equipment, providing initial waterproofing and protecting the internal electronic components from water immersion.
[0037] Waterproof isolation plates 7 are installed on the bottom and lower part of the interior of the electronic communication equipment housing 1. When moisture accidentally enters the equipment, the waterproof isolation plates 7 can prevent the moisture from spreading further to other critical parts of the equipment. It can confine the moisture to a certain area, preventing the moisture from contacting important electronic components such as circuit boards and chips, thereby reducing equipment failure and damage caused by water immersion.
[0038] The waterproof side panel 8 on the side of the electronic communication equipment housing 1 can block water splashing in from the side. The waterproof membrane 801 attached to the waterproof side panel 8 further enhances the waterproof effect. The waterproof membrane 801 has good waterproof performance and can effectively prevent water from penetrating through the waterproof side panel 8 and entering the equipment interior, providing reliable waterproof protection for the side of the equipment.
[0039] Waterproof foam sealing strips 9 are installed at the inner corners of the outer casing 1 of the electronic communication equipment to fill the gaps at these corners. These corners are prone to moisture entry, and the waterproof foam sealing strips 9 can seal these gaps to prevent moisture from seeping into the equipment from the corners. At the same time, the foam material also has a certain cushioning effect, which can reduce the impact on internal components when the equipment is subjected to vibration.
[0040] The rubber pad 10 installed at the bottom of the outer casing 1 of the electronic communication equipment raises the entire equipment. When the equipment is placed on a damp ground or in an environment with standing water, the rubber pad 10 can maintain a certain distance between the bottom of the equipment and the ground, preventing water from directly contacting the bottom of the equipment, thereby preventing water from entering the interior of the equipment through the gaps at the bottom, and playing a waterproof role.
[0041] The hook 11 located on the top of the outer casing 1 of the electronic communication equipment is mainly used to facilitate the hanging or fixing of the equipment. In certain usage scenarios, users can use the hook 11 to hang the equipment in a suitable position, which not only saves space but also prevents the equipment from being placed directly in places where there may be water stains or a lot of dust, thus indirectly protecting the equipment.
[0042] In summary, the waterproof and dustproof structure of electronic communication equipment provides comprehensive and effective waterproof and dustproof protection through the coordinated work of multiple protective components, ensuring that the equipment can operate normally in various harsh environments.
