Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pressure gauge, and more specifically, to a waterproof pressure gauge. Background Technology

[0002] Pressure gauges typically consist of a housing, a main board, and a display module. The housing often employs a split assembly structure, with the main board and display module housed inside. Since both the main board and display module are electronic components, specific requirements are placed on the waterproof sealing performance of the housing. Furthermore, the main board needs to achieve electrical connections with external devices such as sensors and power supplies, requiring corresponding mounting holes in the housing. These through-hole structures further increase the complexity of the overall waterproof design. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the waterproof structure of existing pressure gauges or provide new alternative waterproof structures, while also considering reducing manufacturing and assembly complexity to improve production efficiency.

[0006] The first housing includes a base plate, a first docking frame, and a first insertion cavity, wherein the first insertion cavity extends through the first housing.

[0007] The second housing includes a top plate and a second docking frame, wherein a digital display area or a button area is sealed on the top plate;

[0008] The motherboard contains sensors.

[0009] The first docking frame is inserted into the second docking frame, and after insertion, a first sealing ring is provided around the gap between the first docking frame and the second docking frame. A first connector is provided on the first docking frame, and a second connector is provided on the second docking frame. The first connector or the second connector is located below the first sealing ring.

[0010] A slot is provided on the side wall of the first docking frame above the first sealing ring. The motherboard is engaged and fixed in the slot, and the sensor is inserted into the first insertion cavity. A second sealing ring is provided around the gap between the sensor and the first insertion cavity.

[0011] The assembly points on the pressure gauge housing are the main leakage points. In this invention, the most prone to leakage is the assembly point between the first and second mating frames. This invention installs first sealing rings at these assembly points to achieve a sealing and waterproofing effect. Simultaneously, the first and second mating frames are interlocked and fixed, the lamp plate is clamped and fixed between the first mating frame and the top plate, and the main board is interlocked and fixed within the area enclosed by the first mating frame. This eliminates the need for screws to fix the main structure of this invention, making assembly quick and convenient, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, the motherboard is provided with a plurality of insertion parts for inserting into the card slot, and the inner wall of the first mating frame is also provided with a second limiting part that abuts and limits the bottom surface of the motherboard.

[0013] Preferably, the system also includes a light board electrically connected to the motherboard, on which a digital display module and buttons are provided. The light board is clamped and fixed by the first docking frame and the top plate, such that the digital display module is directly opposite the digital display area and the buttons are directly opposite the button area.

[0014] Preferably, the outer wall of the first docking frame is provided with a plurality of protrusions to form the first connector, and the inner wall of the second docking frame is provided with a plurality of assembly grooves that correspond one-to-one with the first connector to form the second connector.

[0015] Preferably, the second connector passes through the second docking frame, the side of the first connector facing away from the bottom plate is inclined, and the outer wall of the first docking frame is also provided with a first limiting part that abuts and limits the second docking frame.

[0019] Preferably, the first housing is provided with a second insertion cavity, in which a wire plug electrically connected to the motherboard is inserted, and a third sealing ring is provided around the gap between the wire plug and the second insertion cavity.

[0020] Preferably, the motherboard has a male terminal in the middle facing the lamp board, and the lamp board has a female terminal that is sleeved with the male terminal.

[0021] During assembly, both the motherboard and the first mating frame need to passively undergo a certain amount of elastic deformation, allowing the connector to slide into the inner side of the first mating frame until it engages with the slot. At this point, the motherboard and the first mating frame automatically spring back to their original state. To further facilitate smoother deformation, the top of the first mating frame has several recessed grooves facing the slot, with the bottom of each groove having an inward slope. The grooves narrow the gap between the groove and the slot, making this part of the material more prone to deformation. Combined with the guiding effect of the slope, this ensures smoother assembly.

[0022] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention installs a first sealing ring, a second sealing ring, and a third sealing ring at the assembly parts of the first docking frame and the second docking frame, the assembly parts of the first plug cavity and the sensor, and the assembly parts of the second plug cavity and the wire plug to achieve the function of sealing and waterproofing.

[0024] 2. The first docking frame and the second docking frame are interlocked and fixed together. The lamp board is clamped and fixed between the first docking frame and the top plate. The main board is interlocked and fixed in the internal area surrounded by the first docking frame. This makes the main structure of this utility model fixed without screws, which has the characteristics of quick and convenient assembly and is conducive to improving assembly efficiency.
