The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0029] like Figures 1-5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a waterproof linear module includes: a base 10, a transmission element 20, a drive element 30, and a waterproof cover 40; the transmission element 20 is disposed on the base 10, one end of the drive element 30 is disposed on the base 10, and is used to drive the transmission element 20 to move on the base 10; the waterproof cover 40 is disposed on the transmission element 20; two sets of water-blocking plates 41 are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the waterproof cover 40, and water-blocking grooves 42 are disposed on the side walls of the two sets of water-blocking plates 41; a water-guiding groove 43 is disposed at one end of the water-blocking plate 41 near the water-blocking groove 42; the water-blocking plates 41 are used to waterproof the transmission element 20 and the drive element 30, and allow water to flow through the water-blocking grooves 42 and the water-guiding grooves 43. In this embodiment, a transmission element 20 is mounted on the base 10, and one end of a drive element 30 is fixed to the base 10 to drive the transmission element 20 to move. The waterproof cover 40 is equipped with two sets of water-blocking plates 41. The side wall of the water-blocking plate 41 has a water-blocking groove 42, and a water-guiding groove 43 is provided near the end of the water-blocking groove 42. This effectively prevents water from entering the transmission element 20 and the drive element 30. At the same time, the water-blocking groove 42 and the water-guiding groove 43 guide the water flow, ensuring that the water flows smoothly and does not accumulate inside the module, thereby greatly improving the waterproof capability and operational stability of the module. The structure is compact and highly practical.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, water storage tanks 11 are provided on both sides of the base 10, and a water storage baffle 12 is provided on one side of the water storage tank 11. The side of the water storage baffle 12 facing the water storage tank 11 is inclined. In this embodiment, the water storage tank 11 effectively collects and manages any overflow or leakage liquid that may occur. The water storage baffle 12 provided on one side of the water storage tank 11 has an inclined design on its inner side facing the water storage tank 11. This structural feature not only enhances the baffle's guiding function, ensuring that the liquid can be smoothly guided into the water storage tank 11, but also reduces the risk of liquid accumulation and overflow, and improves the waterproof performance of the equipment.
[0031] A water guide hole 13 is provided above the base 10 near the water storage tank 11. One end of the water guide hole 13 penetrates the interior of the base 10, and the water guide hole 13 is used to drain water from inside the base 10 toward the water storage tank 11. In this embodiment, the water guide hole 13 is cleverly provided above the base 10 near the water storage tank 11, ensuring that water accumulated inside the base 10 can be effectively drained. One end of the water guide hole 13 penetrates the interior of the base 10, forming a direct flow channel, allowing the internal water to be smoothly drained toward the water storage tank 11. This improves the drainage efficiency of the waterproof linear module and effectively prevents corrosion or functional failures that may be caused by water accumulation inside the base 10, thereby enhancing the overall stability and service life of the module.
[0032] like Figures 3 to 4 The water guide hole 13 shown includes a side hole 14 and an end hole 15. The side hole 14 is used for guiding water from the side of the base 10, and the end hole 15 is used for guiding water from the end of the base 10. In this embodiment, the water guide hole 13, consisting of two parts, the side hole 14 and the end hole 15, has a clear and efficient function. The side hole 14 is mainly responsible for guiding water from the side of the base 10, which can quickly guide water that seeps in from the side out, effectively preventing water from accumulating inside the module. The end hole 15 focuses on guiding water from the end of the base 10, ensuring that water at the end can also be discharged in time, further improving the waterproof performance of the module. This enhances the waterproof capability of the linear module, ensures its stable operation in humid environments, extends its service life, and improves its overall performance.
[0033] like Figure 5 The transmission element 20 includes a transmission guide rod 21, a transmission seat 22, and a transmission slider 23. The transmission slider 23 is mounted on the driving element 30. Two sets of transmission guide rods 21 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the base 10. The transmission seat 22 is mounted on the transmission guide rods 21 and slides via the transmission slider 23. In this embodiment, the two sets of transmission guide rods 21, mounted opposite each other on both sides of the base 10, provide a stable guiding effect. The transmission seat 22, mounted on the transmission guide rods 21 and connected to the driving element 30 via the transmission slider 23, achieves smooth and precise sliding; enhances the structural strength of the linear module; and ensures the stability and accuracy of the transmission seat 22 during sliding.
[0034] The transmission base 22 has a first baffle 221 and a second baffle 223 at its two ends, respectively. The first baffle 221 is a T-shaped plate. In this embodiment, by setting the first baffle 221 and the second baffle 223 at the two ends of the transmission base 22, structural stability and optimization are achieved. The T-shaped design of the first baffle 221 not only enhances the strength and rigidity of the baffle, but also effectively improves its positioning accuracy and stability in the linear module. It helps to prevent external impurities such as moisture and dust from entering the module, thereby enhancing the overall protective performance of the waterproof linear module.
[0035] One end of the first baffle 221 is connected to the waterproof cover 40 to form a first waterproof structure; the second baffle 223 is connected to the transmission guide rod 21 to form a second waterproof structure. In this embodiment, the first baffle 221 is tightly connected to the waterproof cover 40, forming a first waterproof barrier that effectively blocks external moisture from entering and ensures the dryness and safety of internal components; the connection between the second baffle 223 and the transmission guide rod 21 constitutes a second waterproof structure, further enhancing the overall waterproof performance; through the dual waterproof linear module design, not only is the waterproof level of the equipment improved, but its stable operation in humid environments is also guaranteed.
[0036] A drive rod 31 is provided at one end of the drive element 30, and the slider is disposed on the drive rod 31. One end of the drive element 30 is connected to the drive rod 31, which drives the slider to slide on the base 10. In this embodiment, the drive rod 31 is cleverly provided at one end of the drive element 30. This design allows the slider to be stably mounted on the drive rod 31, ensuring the stability and reliability of the sliding. When the drive element 30 operates, it effectively drives the slider to slide on the base 10 by connecting to the drive rod 31, realizing the efficient and precise operation of the linear module; improving the working performance of the waterproof linear module, and also ensuring its stability and durability in various application environments.
[0037] The water-blocking plate is a C-shaped water-blocking plate. In this embodiment, the C-shaped water-blocking plate fits tightly against the module structure, effectively preventing the intrusion of water and moisture, ensuring the dryness and safety of the electronic components and mechanical parts inside the module, improving the waterproof performance of the module, and enhancing its stability and durability in humid environments; moreover, the C-shaped water-blocking plate is easy to install, convenient to maintain and replace, and reduces maintenance costs.
