Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproof sealing technology, specifically a waterproof structure for mobile phone buttons. Background Technology

[0002] In today's world, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. Mobile phones come into contact with various environments, and the risk of encountering water is very common. Water intrusion can cause serious damage to the electronic components inside the mobile phone, causing malfunctions, short circuits, or even permanent damage. In order to ensure the normal functioning of the mobile phone and extend its service life, effective waterproofing measures are essential. Among these waterproofing measures, the waterproofing of the mobile phone buttons is particularly critical, because buttons are used frequently and are potential areas where water can easily enter.

[0003] Traditional waterproof structures for mobile phone buttons typically rely on simple rubber gaskets or coatings. However, these methods have many drawbacks. Due to repeated button presses, rubber gaskets wear down over time, losing their sealing effect. Coatings may not provide a comprehensive and durable waterproof solution, especially when the phone is exposed to harsh water environments such as heavy rain or immersion. Once water seeps in through the buttons, it quickly spreads to other parts of the phone, affecting the performance of circuit boards, batteries, and other critical components, thereby reducing the overall reliability and durability of the phone. To address this, we propose a waterproof structure for mobile phone buttons. Utility Model Content

[0047] Working Principle: The bottom plate 1 is the foundation of the entire structure, providing a mounting base for other components. The shell sealing ring 2 installed on its top side plays a crucial role in the waterproofing process. When the phone is exposed to water, whether from splashes or accidental drops, the shell sealing ring 2 tightly fits the connection between the bottom plate 1 and the upper waterproof shell 7, forming a reliable sealing barrier. This effectively prevents water from entering the phone from the bottom edge, providing comprehensive protection for the internal electronic components and reducing the risk of malfunctions due to water ingress. The top of the fixing plate 3 is parallel and symmetrically arranged, and its sliding structure on the opposite side facilitates the installation and fixation of the phone. The sliding groove 4 is located on the opposite side of the fixing plate 3. Block 5 slides smoothly within the groove 4. When installing the phone, the position of block 5 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Since the side of block 5 is L-shaped and fixedly connected to the phone mounting plate 6, the stress generated by pressing the button during daily use is transmitted through block 5 to the groove 4, thus distributing it evenly and preventing excessive localized stress. This enhances the stability and durability of the structure, ensuring the phone can be securely installed even under frequent operation. The waterproof shell 7 is hollow inside, and the top button sleeve 11 ensures both the flexibility of button operation and waterproofing. When the user presses the button, the button sleeve 11 deforms accordingly, tightly wrapping the button to prevent moisture from seeping in through the button gaps, ensuring the phone remains dry. To ensure safe button operation in wet environments, the fixing structure on the side of the upper waterproof shell 7 further enhances the overall structural stability. Fixing hole sealing rings 9 are installed in the fixing holes 8 on the side of the fixing plate 3 and the upper waterproof shell 7, with fixing pins 10 inserted into them. The fixing hole sealing rings 9 not only fill the gaps in the fixing holes 8 to prevent moisture from entering, but also increase the friction between the fixing pins 10 and the fixing holes 8, making the connection more secure. The pull ring design on the outside of the fixing pins 10 facilitates disassembly and installation during later phone repairs or component replacements. The power port sealing structure is a key innovation of this waterproof structure, consisting of a sealing structure and a flipping structure working together. In the sealing structure, the power port... The sealing ring 13 fits tightly against the power hole 12, and the sealing rubber block 16 further enhances the sealing effect, effectively preventing moisture from entering the phone through the power hole 12. When charging is required, the flip structure starts to work. The fixing block 14 is fixed on the side of the upper waterproof shell 7 and located next to the power hole 12. The connecting block 15, which is rotatably installed in the through groove on its side, is connected to the sealing rubber block 16. The user can simply rotate the connecting block 15 to remove the sealing rubber block 16 from the power hole 12 for easy insertion of the charging cable. After charging is completed, the connecting block 15 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the sealing rubber block 16 returns to its original position, resealing the power hole 12 and ensuring the waterproof performance of the power port when not charging.
