[0045] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in this embodiment, a battery pack includes:
[0046] The housing assembly 100 includes a housing 110 and a cover 120, the cover 120 being detachably disposed on the housing 110, and the housing 110 having a receiving cavity 111;
[0047] The battery module 200 is disposed in the accommodating cavity 111 and has an electrode connector 210;
[0048] The circuit board assembly 300 includes a first circuit board 310 and a second circuit board 320 disposed between the battery module 200 and the housing cover 120 and parallel to each other. The projections of the first circuit board 310 and the second circuit board 320 along the length of the housing overlap. The first circuit board 310 is detachably connected to the electrode connector 210, and the second circuit board 320 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 310.
[0049] The electrical functional module includes a main electrical module 400 and an auxiliary functional module 500. The main electrical module 400 includes an air switch 410 and a terminal block 420. One end of the air switch 410 and the terminal block 420 passes through the housing cover 120 and is exposed, while the other end is detachably connected to the first circuit board 310 and can be electrically connected to the battery module 200 through the first circuit board 310. The auxiliary functional module 500 is located on the second circuit board 320 and can be electrically connected to the battery module 200 through the second circuit board 320. This design, by directly connecting the main electrical module 400 to the first circuit board 310, saves on additional wiring requirements, significantly reducing production costs and assembly complexity. Simultaneously, the coordinated design of the first circuit board 310 and the second circuit board 320 optimizes the utilization of the internal space of the battery pack, reduces the width dimension of the housing, and makes the overall structure more compact, achieving a miniaturized design.
[0050] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the battery pack's outer casing assembly 100 is rectangular, comprising a housing 110 and a cover 120. The housing 110 is a hollow structure with an opening on one side and a rectangular accommodating cavity 111 for housing the battery module 200, circuit board assembly 300, and electrical functional modules. The cover 120 is rectangular and detachably mounted on the housing 110 using fasteners, sealing the opening of the housing 110 to prevent external dust, moisture, and other contaminants from entering the battery pack, thereby protecting the internal components from environmental factors. This design effectively improves the battery pack's lifespan and reliability, and the detachable design of the cover 120 makes maintenance or component replacement more convenient.
[0051] In this embodiment, the battery module 200 is detachably disposed within the accommodating cavity 111. An electrode connector 210 is provided on the side near the first circuit board 310. The electrode connector 210 includes a positive electrode connector 211 and a negative electrode connector 212 extending horizontally toward the first circuit board 310, respectively, and both are detachably connected to the first circuit board 310 via fasteners. This design not only improves the stability and reliability of current transmission but also reduces additional wiring, greatly simplifies the assembly and maintenance process, reduces production costs, and enhances safety. Furthermore, the direct connection of the electrode connector 210 to the first circuit board 310 means that the power of the battery module 200 can be directly distributed and managed through the first circuit board 310 without the need for additional wiring.
[0052] In this embodiment, the circuit board assembly 300 includes a first circuit board 310 and a second circuit board 320 disposed between the battery module 200 and the housing cover 120 and parallel to each other. The first circuit board 310 is disposed near the battery module 200 and is detachably connected to the electrode connector 210. The second circuit board 320 is disposed near the housing cover 120 and is electrically connected to the first circuit board 310. The cooperative design of the first circuit board 310 and the second circuit board 320 not only meets the installation requirements of multiple sub-modules of the electrical functional module, but also makes the internal structure of the entire battery pack more compact and reasonable, reducing the width dimension of the housing and facilitating miniaturization and lightweight design.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first circuit board 310 and the second circuit board 320 are rectangular and vertically disposed within the accommodating cavity 111. The second circuit board 320 is located between the first circuit board 310 and the cover 120, on the side of the first circuit board 310 away from the main electrical module 400, and its size is smaller than that of the first circuit board 310. This design, by employing differentiated dimensions, can fully utilize the limited space within the battery pack, making the overall structure more compact and contributing to the miniaturization and lightweight design of the battery pack. Furthermore, it allows for multi-level functional partitioning within the same accommodating cavity 111, reducing interference between electronic components, improving system stability and reliability, and enabling the individual replacement or upgrading of components on one circuit board without affecting the function of another circuit board.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first circuit board 310 has two sets of first electrical terminals 313 and one set of second electrical terminals 314 extending through it on the side away from the second circuit board 320. The first electrical terminals 313 are used for connection to the wiring terminal 420, and the second electrical terminals 314 are used for connection to the air switch 410. This design allows the wiring terminal 420 and the air switch 410 to be directly connected to the first circuit board 310, saving on additional wiring requirements. This not only reduces production costs and improves maintenance convenience but also increases current transmission efficiency.
[0055] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are two sets of first electrical terminals 313, one set for connecting to the positive terminal 421 and the other set for connecting to the negative terminal 422, and each set of first electrical terminals 313 consists of two terminals arranged vertically in a straight line.
[0056] Preferably, in this embodiment, the second electrical terminal 314 is disposed between the two sets of first electrical terminals 313, and the second electrical terminal 314 is composed of four terminals arranged in a matrix.
[0057] In this embodiment, the top of the first circuit board 310 is provided with a positive electrode mounting base 311 and a negative electrode mounting base 312. The positive electrode connecting piece 211 is detachably connected to the positive electrode mounting base 311 by fasteners, and the negative electrode connecting piece 212 is detachably connected to the negative electrode mounting base 312 by fasteners. This design can effectively reduce contact resistance and avoid current transmission problems caused by looseness or poor contact, thereby ensuring efficient and stable power transmission.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second circuit board 320 is provided with a first plug-in hole for mounting the wireless communication connector 510 and a second plug-in hole for mounting the Ethernet connector 520. The first plug-in hole is located in the middle of the second circuit board 320, and the second plug-in hole is located below the first plug-in hole. By adopting a standardized plug-in hole design, the wireless communication connector 510 and the Ethernet connector 520 can be quickly and easily installed and removed without complex wiring, greatly improving production efficiency and maintenance convenience.
[0059] In this embodiment, the circuit board assembly 300 further includes a metal mounting bracket 330 disposed between the second circuit board 320 and the housing cover 120. The metal mounting bracket 330 is vertically arranged and parallel to the first circuit board 310, the second circuit board 320, and the housing cover 120, respectively. One side of the metal mounting bracket 330 is detachably connected to the housing cover 120, and the other side is detachably connected to the first circuit board 310. The second circuit board 320 is detachably mounted on the metal mounting bracket 330. The introduction of the metal mounting bracket 330 effectively transfers the heat generated by the first circuit board 310 and the second circuit board 320 to the housing cover 120 or other heat dissipation structures, preventing localized overheating and significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first and second circuit boards 310 and 320. Simultaneously, the metal mounting bracket 330 not only provides robust physical support for the first and second circuit boards 310 and 320, reducing circuit board displacement or loosening caused by vibration or other external forces, thus improving the reliability and safety of current transmission, but also enhances the structural strength and rigidity of the entire battery pack. In addition, the detachable design of the metal mounting bracket 330 improves the ease of disassembly and maintenance.
[0060] In this embodiment, the metal mounting bracket 330 has a first groove 331 recessed in a direction away from the first circuit board 310. The second circuit board 320 is detachably disposed in the first groove 331 by fasteners, and the bottom wall of the first groove 331 has at least one through-hole 332. This design not only provides a stable physical support for the second circuit board 320, but also reduces the displacement or loosening of the circuit board due to external vibration or impact.
[0061] Preferably, four first mounting holes 332 are provided in a matrix arrangement, and each first mounting hole 332 is riveted with a threaded post. Screws can pass through the second circuit board 320 and be screwed into the threaded post to connect the metal mounting bracket 330 and the second circuit board 320. This design not only ensures the stability of the connection but also facilitates disassembly and reinstallation.
[0062] Preferably, the first groove 331 is rectangular, and the size of the first groove 331 is adapted to the size of the second circuit board 320. This design provides precise positioning and fixation for the second circuit board 320, preventing it from bending or deforming due to uneven force during use, thereby protecting the electronic components on the circuit board from damage.
[0063] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the first groove 331 is provided with multiple first notches 333 that penetrate through it for the auxiliary function module 500 to pass through. Preferably, the first notches 333 are rectangular, and there are two of them arranged vertically. The two first notches 333 are of different sizes, slightly larger than the wireless communication connector 510 and the Ethernet connector 520, respectively, to allow the wireless communication connector 510 and the Ethernet connector 520 to pass through. This design ensures that the wireless communication connector 510 and the Ethernet connector 520 can pass through smoothly, while avoiding loosening due to being too large or installation difficulties due to being too small.
[0064] In this embodiment, a first mounting edge 334 is provided on the side of the first groove 331 away from the second groove 336. The first mounting edge 334 is parallel to the first circuit board 310 and has a height difference with the bottom wall of the first groove 331. The first mounting edge 334 can be detachably connected to the first circuit board 310 by fasteners. This design makes the connection between the first circuit board 310 and the metal mounting bracket 330 simpler and faster, and the operation can be completed without complicated tools or steps.
[0065] Preferably, the first mounting edge 334 is U-shaped, extending horizontally outward from the top side of the first groove 331, and forming two symmetrically arranged mounting portions. Threaded posts are riveted to the mounting portions, and screws can pass through the first circuit board 310 and be screwed into the threaded posts to connect the metal mounting bracket 330 to the first circuit board 310. This design not only ensures the stability of the connection but also facilitates disassembly and reinstallation.
[0066] In this embodiment, at least one second mounting hole 335 is provided on the bottom wall of the first groove 331, and a first fixing seat 121 corresponding to the second mounting hole 335 is provided on the cover 120, and the first fixing seat 121 and the second mounting hole 335 can be connected by fasteners. This design can achieve a firm connection between the metal mounting bracket 330 and the cover 120, effectively preventing loosening or displacement caused by external vibration, impact or other external forces, and significantly enhancing the rigidity and impact resistance of the entire battery pack internal structure.
[0067] Preferably, there are four second mounting holes 335 arranged in a matrix, while the first fixing seat 121 is cylindrical with internal threads, and has four of them corresponding one-to-one with the second mounting holes 335. Screws can pass through the through holes and be screwed into the second fixing seat 122. This design makes the connection between the metal mounting bracket 330 and the cover 120 simpler and faster, and the operation can be completed without complicated tools or steps.
[0068] In this embodiment, the metal mounting bracket 330 also has a second groove 336 arranged parallel to the first groove 331. The second groove 336 is rectangular and recessed in a direction away from the cover 120, opposite to the recessed direction of the first groove 331. A heat-conducting element (not shown in the figure) is provided between the outer wall of the second groove 336 and the first circuit board 310. Preferably, the heat-conducting element is thermally conductive silicone or a thermal pad. This design can quickly conduct the heat generated by the first circuit board 310 to the metal mounting bracket 330, and then transfer it to the external environment through the metal mounting bracket 330, further improving the heat conduction efficiency and avoiding the occurrence of local overheating.
[0069] In this embodiment, a second mounting edge 337 is provided on the side of the second groove 336 away from the first groove 331. The second mounting edge 337 is parallel to the cover 120 and has a height difference with the bottom wall of the second groove 336. The cover 120 is provided with a second fixing seat 122 corresponding to the second mounting edge 337, and the second fixing seat 122 can be detachably connected to the second mounting edge 337 by fasteners.

[0070] Preferably, the second mounting edge 337 is strip-shaped, vertically arranged, and has two through holes with upper and lower walls extending through it. The second fixing seat 122 is cylindrical, with internal threads, and has two such seats, each corresponding to one of the through holes. Screws can pass through the through holes and be screwed into the second fixing seat 122.

Each second notch 339 has a different shape and is used for the components on the first circuit board 310 and the positive electrode mounting base 311 or negative electrode mounting base 312 to pass through, thereby avoiding interference with the metal mounting bracket 330.
[0074] In this embodiment, the electrical function module includes a main electrical module 400 and an auxiliary function module 500. The main electrical module 400 includes an air switch 410 and a terminal block 420. One end of the air switch 410 and the terminal block 420 passes through the housing cover 120 and is exposed, while the other end is detachably connected to the first circuit board 310 and can be electrically connected to the battery module 200 through the first circuit board 310. The auxiliary function module 500 is disposed on the second circuit board 320 and includes a wireless communication connector 510 and an Ethernet connector 520, both of which can be electrically connected to the battery module 200 through the second circuit board 320. This design, by separating the high-power main electrical module 400 from the low-heat auxiliary function module 500, helps to achieve uniform heat distribution and effective heat dissipation. The detachable direct connection of the other end of the air switch 410 and the terminal block 420 to the first circuit board 310 not only reduces the need for additional wiring and lowers production costs, but also improves the convenience of disassembly, assembly, and maintenance, and ensures the reliability of the electrical connection.
[0075] In this embodiment, the air switch 410 is a standard component, which is detachably connected to the second electrical terminal 314 via fasteners. This design allows the air switch 410 to be quickly disassembled and replaced when it fails, without the need to rewire or adjust the entire circuit board, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time consumption.
[0076] In this embodiment, the terminal block 420 includes a positive terminal block 421 and a negative terminal block 422. The positive terminal block 421 includes a first connector 421a, a second connector 421b, and a positive conductive element 421c.

One end of the negative conductive element 422c is connected to the third connector 422a, and the other end is connected to the fourth connector 422b. It also has a second fixing portion 422d that is detachably connected to another set of first electrical terminals 313 via fasteners. This design avoids the risk of short circuits between the positive and negative terminals, improving the safety and stability of the system. On the other hand, it effectively prevents loosening or detachment caused by vibration or other external forces, reducing the risk of poor contact and ensuring the stability and reliability of the electrical connection.
[0077] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first connector 421a and the second connector 421b are arranged vertically, as are the third connector 422a and the fourth connector 422b, and are respectively mounted on the cover 120. Both the positive conductive element 421c and the negative conductive element 422c are cylindrical conductive elements bent into a U-shape. The first fixing part 421d and the second fixing part 422d are respectively located at the bends, and both the first fixing part 421d and the second fixing part 422d have through holes. Fasteners can pass through the through holes and the first electrical terminal 313 in sequence to fix the terminal 420 to the first circuit board 310. This design makes full use of the limited space, achieving a compact design, improving space utilization, and providing more installation positions for other components.
[0078] In this embodiment, the auxiliary function module 500 includes a wireless communication connector 510 detachably plugged into a first plug-in hole and an Ethernet connector 520 detachably plugged into a second plug-in hole. The wireless communication connector 510 is a standard component, which allows users to select different wireless communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, according to their needs. The Ethernet connector 520 is a standardized RJ45 interface that supports gigabit or 10-gigabit network transmission rates.
[0079] In this embodiment, the cover 120 is made of plastic, and a metal reinforcing rib 123 is detachably provided on the side of the cover 120 facing the receiving cavity 111. The metal reinforcing rib 123 extends along the length of the cover 120. By using a plastic cover 120 and locally adding metal reinforcing ribs 123, the structural strength is improved while reducing the overall weight. Compared to an all-metal cover 120, this method maintains a lighter weight and reduces material costs, achieving a good balance between performance and economy.
[0080] In this embodiment, the metal reinforcing rib 123 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes arranged in a straight line, and the cover 120 is provided with a plurality of connecting seats corresponding one-to-one with the connecting holes. The connecting seats and connecting holes can be connected by fasteners to fix the metal reinforcing rib 123 to the cover 120. This design ensures the convenience of disassembling, assembling and maintaining the metal reinforcing rib 123.
[0081] In this embodiment, the metal reinforcing rib 123 is also provided with an avoidance notch, which is connected to one end of the first interface 130, ensuring that the air switch 410 can smoothly pass through the cover 120.
[0082] In this embodiment, the cover 120 is provided with a first interface 130 through which the air switch 410 passes. The first interface 130 has a first mounting portion 131 and a second mounting portion 132 extending vertically outward along the outer wall of the cover 120. The first mounting portion 131 and the second mounting portion 132 are arranged opposite to each other, and a protective cover 600 is detachably covered on the first interface 130. One end of the protective cover 600 is rotatably connected to the first mounting portion 131, and the other end is snap-fitted to the second mounting portion 132. This design, by rotatably integrating the protective cover 600 onto the first interface 130, reduces the need for additional fasteners compared to the traditional screw fixing method, which not only reduces the complexity of assembly but also saves production and maintenance time and costs.
[0083] In this embodiment, the first interface 130 has a rectangular notch penetrating the housing 120 for the operating handle of the air switch 410 to extend out. This design allows the user to easily access the operating handle of the air switch 410 to perform necessary operations, such as opening, closing, or adjustment.
[0084] In this embodiment, the first mounting part 131 includes a first limiting edge, a second limiting edge, and a third limiting edge. The first limiting edge is arranged opposite to the second mounting part 132, and the second and third limiting edges are arranged opposite to each other and perpendicularly connected to the first limiting edge. The first, second, and third limiting edges all extend away from the shell cover 120 to form an open U-shaped structure for supporting one end of the protective cover 600.
[0085] In this embodiment, the protective cover 600 has a rotating shaft on one side and / or both sides, and a movable hole on the second limiting edge and / or the third limiting edge to form a rotatable connection with the protective cover 600, ensuring that the protective cover 600 can be opened and closed flexibly. Preferably, in this embodiment, the second limiting edge and / or the third limiting edge has a guide groove communicating with the movable hole. This design allows the user to efficiently and accurately engage or disengage the rotating shaft of the protective cover 600 by simply pushing or pulling it along the guide groove, eliminating the reliance on traditional screw fixing tools and effectively improving the efficiency and convenience of installing the protective cover 600.
[0086] In this embodiment, the side of the first limiting edge opposite to the protective cover 600 has a first arc surface, and the protective cover 600 is provided with a second arc surface arranged opposite to the first arc surface. This design ensures the smoothness and stability of the protective cover 600 during rotation.
[0087] In this embodiment, the second mounting part 132 has a snap-fit hole parallel to the first limiting edge. The snap-fit hole is rectangular and is used to form a snap-fit connection with the protective cover 600, thereby achieving a stable fixation of the other end of the protective cover 600 and ensuring the stability of the protective cover 600 in the closed state.
[0088] In this embodiment, the protective cover 600, on the side away from the pivot, is also provided with a protrusion that forms a snap-fit connection with the snap-fit hole. This protrusion has a first guide surface and a second guide surface arranged at opposite angles. The first guide surface primarily guides the protrusion to easily enter the snap-fit hole during the closing process, while the second guide surface assists the protrusion in quickly disengaging from the snap-fit hole during the opening process, thereby achieving smooth bidirectional operation and significantly reducing the force required by the user during operation. This allows the user to easily connect or disconnect the snap-fit by simply pushing or pulling the protective cover 600.
[0089] In this embodiment, the cover 120 is provided with a second interface 140 through which the wireless communication connector 510 passes. A first shield 700 is detachably covered on the second interface 140, and a first seal 800 is provided between the first shield 700 and the second interface 140. The first seal 800 has an elastic deformation and can undergo elastic deformation under pressure when the first shield 700 is fixed to the second interface 140. This design, through the elastic deformation of the first seal 800 under pressure, forms a seamless seal between the first shield 700 and the second interface 140, thereby effectively preventing external moisture and dust from entering the battery pack through the wireless communication interface, significantly improving the sealing performance of the cover 120.
[0090] In this embodiment, the second interface 140 includes a third groove 141, a first shield 700 is embedded in the third groove 141, and has a fourth groove 701 arranged circumferentially thereafter. A first seal 800 is disposed between the fourth groove 701 and the third groove 141, and abuts against the inner walls of the fourth groove 701 and the third groove 141 respectively. This design provides an installation position for the first seal 800, ensuring that the first seal 800 can fit tightly between the first shield 700 and the second interface 140, thereby effectively filling the gap between the first shield 700 and the second interface 140 and preventing external moisture and dust from entering the wireless communication interface.
[0091] In this embodiment, the second interface 140 also includes a rectangular notch penetrating the housing 120 for the wireless communication connector 510 to extend out, thereby facilitating the user's installation of the wireless communication device.
[0092] In this embodiment, the first seal 800 is annular, conforming to the shape of the fourth groove 701, and the height of the first seal 800 after elastic deformation under pressure is 60% of the height of the third groove 141, meaning that the first seal 800 is compressed. This design ensures sufficient sealing force while taking into account the durability and adaptability of the seal, thereby achieving the best sealing effect.
[0093] In this embodiment, the first sealing member 800 is also provided with a fixing hole, which is located outside the fourth groove 701. Fasteners can pass through the fixing hole to detachably fix the first shielding member 700 within the third groove 141. This design ensures the stability of the connection between the first shielding member 700 and the cover 120 while preventing external water from seeping into the battery pack through the fasteners, further improving the sealing performance of the cover 120.
[0094] In this embodiment, the cover 120 is provided with a third interface 150 through which the Ethernet connector 520 passes. A second shield 710 is detachably installed on the third interface 150. The third interface 150 includes a fifth groove 151 and a sixth groove 152 arranged circumferentially and communicating with the outside. The fifth groove 151 surrounds the sixth groove 152, and a barrier portion 153 is provided between the fifth groove 151 and the sixth groove 152. The second shield 710 extends into the fifth groove 151. By providing the barrier portion 153 in the fifth groove 151 and the sixth groove 152, the water flowing along the second shield 710 is collected in the fifth groove 151, effectively preventing external moisture and dust from entering the interior of the Ethernet interface, and significantly improving the waterproof and dustproof level.
[0095] In this embodiment, the second blocking member 710 includes a first snap-fit structure and a second snap-fit structure. The first snap-fit structure extends into the fifth groove 151, and the second snap-fit structure extends into the sixth groove 152. A first snap-fit portion is provided on the side wall of the sixth groove 152, and a second snap-fit portion is provided on the second snap-fit structure. The first snap-fit portion and the second snap-fit portion form a concave-convex fit. The first snap-fit structure is mainly used for initial positioning, stably embedding the second blocking member 710 into the fifth groove 151. The second snap-fit structure further cooperates with the first snap-fit portion in the sixth groove 152, providing additional fixing function, reducing the use of screws, and further improving waterproof performance.
[0096] Preferably, in this embodiment, multiple second snap-fit structures are provided, and at least one second snap-fit structure is provided with a second snap-fit portion, which is a rectangular slot. The first snap-fit portion is a triangular protrusion, and the first snap-fit portion is provided with a third guide surface and a fourth guide surface that face opposite directions and are arranged at an angle. This design not only improves the accuracy and stability of the installation of the second shield 710, but also further simplifies the operation process and enhances the protective performance of the overall system.
[0097] In this embodiment, an indicator light module 900 is also provided. The indicator light module 900 is located within the accommodating cavity 111 and includes a lamp holder 910 and an indicator light 920. The lamp holder 910 is detachably connected to the cover 120. One end of the indicator light 920 passes through the lamp holder 910, and the other end passes through the cover 120 and is exposed. The cover 120 has a fourth interface 160 through which the indicator light 920 passes, and a second sealing element 810 is provided between the fourth interface 160 and the indicator light 920. The second sealing element 810 has an elastic deformation capacity and can undergo elastic deformation under pressure when the lamp holder 910 is fixed to the cover 120. This design, through the elastic deformation of the second sealing element 810 under pressure, forms a seamless seal between the fourth interface 160 and the indicator light 920, effectively preventing external moisture and dust from entering the battery pack through the indicator light 920 interface, significantly improving the sealing performance of the cover 120.
[0098] In this embodiment, the fourth interface 160 includes a plurality of hollow cylinders extending from the outer side of the housing 120 toward the lamp holder 910, and the diameter of a single hollow cylinder is larger than the diameter of a single indicator light 920, so as to allow multiple indicator lights 920 to extend out respectively, and can also cooperate with the second sealing member 810 to achieve sealing.
[0099] To fix the indicator module 900, in this embodiment, the cover 120 is provided with a fixing post adjacent to the fourth interface 160. It is vertically disposed on the side of the cover 120 facing the accommodating cavity 111 and extends towards the lamp holder 910. It is detachably connected to the lamp holder 910 by fasteners.
[0100] In this embodiment, the second sealing member 810 is disposed between the hollow cylinder and the lamp holder 910, and has a through hole for the indicator light 920 to pass through. The through hole and the indicator light 920 form an interference fit to prevent external moisture and dust from seeping in along the gap between the through hole and the indicator light 920. Furthermore, when the second sealing member 810 is subjected to compressive elastic deformation, it can form a circumferential sealing layer between the indicator light 920 and the inner wall of the hollow cylinder, thereby effectively filling the gap between the indicator light 920 and the fourth interface 160, preventing external moisture and dust from seeping in through the fourth interface 160.
[0101] Preferably, in this embodiment, the second seal 810 is L-shaped to avoid the fixing post and prevent interference between them.
[0102] In this embodiment, the first seal 800 and the second seal 810 are made of elastic material, which has good elasticity and weather resistance, and can maintain stable sealing performance under various environmental conditions, ensuring long-term reliability.
