One end of the connecting wire is electrically connected to two of the three-prong terminals, and the other end is provided with a connector, which is electrically connected to an external monitoring device.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the toggle switch lever passes through the square slot, allowing users to easily open the waterproof cover assembly and directly control the power supply. Furthermore, the three-prong terminal and socket structure of the toggle switch are matched, thus better securing the toggle switch to the upper sealing block. The power supply is controlled by the toggle lever control circuit. The structure is simple and easy to maintain and repair.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the card holder can be initially fixed by passing the FPC cable through the card slot and limiting the card holder to one side of the card slot. The card holder can be further fixed by the second sub-slot. At this time, the slot of the card holder is connected to the outside through the strip groove, which can facilitate the user to insert or remove the memory card. In this way, the memory card can be communicated with the monitoring equipment through the card holder to save the monitoring video data.

[0021] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell is provided with external threads, the waterproof cover assembly is provided with internal threads that match the external threads, and the waterproof cover assembly is screwed to the outer shell.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the waterproof cover assembly and the outer shell are screwed together to prevent liquid from entering the outer shell from one end, thereby improving the sealing performance. Moreover, the screw connection method is more convenient for users to operate.

[0023] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell is further provided with a baffle and a nut. The waterproof cover assembly includes a connecting ring and a sealing cover. The outer peripheral wall of the connecting ring is provided with a connecting strip. The end of the connecting strip away from the connecting ring is sleeved on the top of the sealing cover.

The connecting ring is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell. The nut is screwed to the outer shell. The connecting ring is pressed against one side of the baffle by the nut. The connecting strip is made of flexible material. The sealing cover has a sealing gasket inside.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a screw connection between the nut and the outer shell, and engaging with the side of the connecting ring away from the baffle, stable positioning of the connecting ring is ensured. This design effectively prevents the connecting ring from loosening or shifting during use, enhancing the structural stability and sealing performance of the waterproof connector. Compared with existing technologies, this mating method simplifies the assembly process and improves the waterproof performance of the connector, avoiding the risk of liquid penetration and ensuring the long-term reliability and durability of the equipment in harsh environments. By placing a sealing gasket inside the sealing cover, the gap between the sealing cover and the outer shell can be effectively filled, enhancing waterproof performance. This design ensures that the interior of the waterproof connector is protected from external liquid contamination, improves the sealing effect, and avoids the risk of liquid penetration. Compared with traditional technologies, the addition of the sealing gasket simplifies the assembly process and improves the reliability and stability of the waterproof connector, ensuring the safety of the equipment during long-term operation in harsh environments.

[0025] Preferably, a gasket is provided between the connecting ring and the baffle, a limiting block is provided on the side of the baffle near the connecting ring, a limiting groove is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the limiting block, and a positioning block is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the gasket, with the positioning block and the limiting groove arranged opposite to each other.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution and designing a mating structure between the gasket, connecting ring, and limiting block, precise positioning and stable connection between the connecting ring and the baffle are ensured. The interaction between the positioning block and the limiting groove effectively prevents the gasket from shifting during installation, maintains the seal between the connecting ring and the baffle, and thus enhances waterproof performance.

The switching unit controls power supply by turning the device on or off, while the communication unit connects to the external device via a slot and allows communication with external monitoring equipment via a memory card, thus completing power control and data exchange. Compared to existing technologies, this method eliminates the need for separate sealing of the memory card to prevent liquid contamination and data loss, while also providing convenient assembly and stable communication functionality. 2. By setting an installation groove inside the housing, and forming a first sub-groove and a second sub-groove through the partition, the sealing component is limited and matched with the partition and fixed inside the housing by waterproof adhesive, thereby forming a reliable sealing structure between the housing and the sealing component. The switch unit is placed in the first sub-groove for stable positioning, and the communication unit is placed in the second sub-groove for stable installation. This can prevent liquid from entering the housing and contaminating the memory card, ensuring the security of the information in the memory card, and improving the assembly convenience and structural stability of the multi-functional waterproof connector. 3. The slot facilitates easy insertion and removal of memory cards.

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-9 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a multifunctional waterproof connector.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 , Figure 9 The multifunctional waterproof connector 100 according to the embodiments of this application includes: a housing 1, a waterproof cover assembly 2, a sealing assembly 3, a switching unit 4, and a communication unit 5.

[0033] The waterproof cover assembly 2 is disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11 that penetrates the housing 1. Along the axial direction of the housing 1, the mounting groove 11 forms a first opening 17 at one end of the housing 1 and a second opening 18 at the other end. The waterproof cover assembly 2 is used to open or close the first opening 17. During the use of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, the first opening 17 can be opened or closed through the waterproof cover assembly 2. When the first opening 17 is closed, it can play a sealing role. When the first opening 17 is opened, it is convenient for the user to operate the switch unit 4 and the communication unit 5. During the assembly of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, the second opening 18 allows the operator to conveniently assemble the switch unit 4, the communication unit 5, and the sealing assembly 3 into the housing 1.

[0034] The sealing component 3 is located in the mounting groove 11. The end of the sealing component 3 near the second opening 18 is provided with waterproof adhesive. The sealing component 3 and the housing 1 are fixedly connected by the waterproof adhesive. During the assembly of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, after the switch unit 4 and the communication unit 5 are assembled in the sealing component 3, the sealing component 3 is placed in the mounting groove 11, which can play a preliminary fixing role. Finally, the sealing component 3 is fixed in the mounting groove 11 by the waterproof adhesive, thereby preventing the sealing component 3 from falling out of the housing 1. Specifically, the waterproof adhesive is applied by dotting, which can not only play a waterproof role, but also adhere the sealing component 3 and the housing 1 together, improving stability. It should be noted that the waterproof adhesive is not shown in the figure.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 The switch unit 4 passes through the sealing assembly 3 and is located in the mounting groove 11. The sealing assembly 3 and the switch unit 4 are sealed together. The switch unit 4 is used to control the power supply. The communication unit 5 passes through the sealing assembly 3 and is located in the mounting groove 11. The communication unit 5 is sealed together with the sealing assembly 3. The communication unit 5 has a slot 51, which is suitable for inserting a memory card. The communication unit 5 is used to connect the external monitoring device with the memory card. During the operation of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, the switch unit 4 is located on the sealing assembly 3. The switch unit 4 realizes the power supply control through its own conduction or disconnection action, and the sealing assembly 3 can seal the switch unit 4. The communication unit 5 is located on the sealing assembly 3. The user can insert the memory card into the slot 51 and establish a communication connection with the external monitoring device through the communication unit 5, so that the multi-functional waterproof connector 100 can realize data interaction between the monitoring device and the memory card.

[0036] Therefore, by setting a sealing component 3 in the mounting groove 11 and applying waterproof adhesive to the end of the sealing component 3, the sealing component 3 is fixed and forms a sealed fit when the waterproof adhesive contacts the inner wall of the outer casing 1, thereby preventing liquid from entering the interior of the outer casing 1. Simultaneously, a switch unit 4 and a communication unit 5 are set on the sealing component 3. When the switch unit 4 controls the power supply by turning it on or off, and the communication unit 5 communicates with the external device through the slot 51 and inserts a memory card to achieve communication with the monitoring equipment of the external device, power control and data interaction are completed. Compared with the prior art, liquid contamination of the memory card can be prevented without separately sealing the memory card, avoiding the loss of information within the memory card, and achieving convenient assembly and stable communication functions.

[0037] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of this application, the mounting groove 11 is provided with a partition 12. Along the radial direction of the outer shell 1, the partition 12 divides the mounting groove 11 into a first sub-groove 111 and a second sub-groove 112. The switch unit 4 is disposed in the first sub-groove 111, the communication unit 5 is disposed in the second sub-groove 112, and the sealing assembly 3 is limited and engaged with the end of the partition 12 away from the first opening 17. The partition 12 is a clamp.

[0038] When the multi-functional waterproof connector 100 is assembled, the first sub-slot 111 is located above the partition 12, and the second sub-slot 112 is located below the partition 12. The switch unit 4 and the communication unit 5 are mounted on the sealing assembly 3. The sealing assembly 3, which is equipped with the switch unit 4 and the communication unit 5, is placed in the mounting groove 11 and is limited and matched with the partition 12. The switch unit 4 can be placed through the first sub-slot 111, and the communication unit 5 can be placed through the second sub-slot 112. On the other hand, the waterproof adhesive forms a tight fit between the sealing assembly 3 and the inner wall of the housing 1 to prevent liquid from seeping in. Thus, during the assembly process, the partitioning effect of the first sub-slot 111 and the second sub-slot 112, which are separated by the mounting groove 11 and the partition 12, allows the sealing assembly 3, the switch unit 4, and the communication unit 5 to be installed inside the housing 1 and form a continuous sealing path, thereby achieving protection for the memory card and the power control components. The multi-functional waterproof connector 100 is in a stable and waterproof working state.

[0039] Furthermore, by providing an installation groove 11 inside the housing 1, and a first sub-groove 111 and a second sub-groove 112 formed by the partition 12, the sealing component 3 is limited and engaged with the partition 12 and fixed inside the housing 1 by waterproof adhesive, thereby forming a reliable sealing structure between the housing 1 and the sealing component 3. The switch unit 4 is placed in the first sub-groove 111 for stable positioning, and the communication unit 5 is placed in the second sub-groove 112 for stable installation. This can prevent liquid from entering the housing 1 and contaminating the memory card, ensuring the security of the information in the memory card, and improving the assembly convenience and structural stability of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of this application, a limiting part 13 is provided at one end of the first sub-groove 111 near the first opening 17. The limiting part 13 is in limiting cooperation with the switch unit 4. The switch unit 4 is sandwiched between the limiting part 13 and the sealing component 3. The limiting part 13 is a limiting plate.

[0041] During the assembly of the multifunctional waterproof connector 100, the operator places the switch unit 4 in the first sub-slot 111. When the sealing component 3 is pushed to move towards the first opening 17, the switch unit 4 is pushed towards the first opening 17 under the drive of the sealing component 3 until one end of the switch unit 4 abuts against the limiting part 13. This serves to remind the operator to push it into place and also to stably fix the switch unit 4 inside the housing 1.

[0042] By placing the switch unit 4 in the first sub-slot 111 and clamping it between the limiting part 13 and the sealing component 3, the switch unit 4 can be stably fixed in the housing 1, so that one end of the switch unit 4 can be stably positioned and easy for the user to operate. At the same time, the sealing structure of the housing 1 is maintained, thereby preventing liquid from entering the housing 1 and contaminating the switch unit 4, and improving the safety and ease of use of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of this application, the limiting part 13 is provided with a square groove 131 and a strip groove 132. The strip groove 132 is connected to the slot 51. The end of the switch unit 4 located in the first sub-slot 111 extends into the square groove 131 and is limited and cooperated with the square groove 131.

[0044] During the operation of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, the user can insert a memory card through the strip groove 132 into the slot 51, thereby enabling the memory card to communicate with the monitoring equipment of the peripheral device through the communication unit 5, realize data interaction, and store monitoring video data. On the other hand, during the assembly of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, when the sealing component 3 with the switch unit 4 and the communication unit 5 is placed in the mounting groove 11, the switch unit 4 is placed in the first sub-groove 111. When the sealing component 3 is pushed towards the first opening 17, the switch unit 4 will also approach the first opening 17 under the pushing action of the sealing component 3 until it is matched with the square groove 131, thereby stably fixing the switch unit 4 in the housing 1, making it convenient for the user to operate the switch unit 4.

[0045] Furthermore, the slot 132 facilitates the insertion and removal of memory cards. Users can insert the memory card through the slot 132 into the slot 51, thereby enabling data interaction between the memory card and the monitoring device of the peripheral device via the communication unit 5. Alternatively, the memory card can be removed from the slot 51, and the data stored on the memory card can be read by the reading device of the peripheral device. On the other hand, the square slot 131 can limit the switch unit 4 and also facilitate the user's operation of the end of the switch unit 4 that passes through the square slot 131, thereby improving the ease of interaction between the multi-functional waterproof connector 100 and the user, making it more convenient to use.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the sealing component 3 is provided with a socket 31, the switch unit 4 passes through the socket 31 and is disposed in the first sub-groove 111, and the sealing component 3 is also provided with a placement groove, the socket 31 and the placement groove are connected.

[0047] During the assembly of the sealing assembly 3, one end of the switch unit 4 is placed in the placement groove to achieve initial positioning. The switch unit 4 matches the placement groove. Before passing the switch unit 4 through the socket 31, the switch unit 4 is aligned with the placement groove to achieve positioning of the switch unit 4 and the socket 31, thus achieving initial positioning. The switch unit 4 can be initially fixed through the socket 31 and then placed in the first sub-groove 111 and abutted against the square groove 131, thus stably fixing the switch unit 4 inside the housing 1. This facilitates user operation and operator assembly. The sealing assembly 3 can also seal the switch unit 4.

[0048] The socket 31 not only enables the initial positioning of the switch unit 4, but also, with the cooperation of the socket 31, the first sub-slot 111, and the square slot 131, can stably fix the switch unit 4 inside the housing 1, thus facilitating user operation. On the other hand, the socket 31 also facilitates assembly by operators, improving convenience.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of this application, the switch unit 4 includes a toggle switch 41 and a connecting wire 43. One end of the toggle switch 41 is provided with a three-prong terminal 42. There are three sockets 31, which are arranged one-to-one with the three-prong terminal. The three-prong terminal 42 is inserted into the socket 31. The other end of the toggle switch 41 extends into the square groove 131 and is limited to the square groove 131. The end of the toggle switch 41 away from the sealing component 3 is provided with a toggle rod 411. The toggle rod 411 passes through the square groove 131 and is located in the first open opening 17. One end of the connecting wire 43 is electrically connected to two of the three-prong terminals 42, and the other end is provided with a connector 44. The connector 44 is electrically connected to an external monitoring device.

[0050] During the use of the multifunctional waterproof connector 100, the toggle lever 411 passes through the reassuring grass arrangement, allowing the user to easily switch the power on and off by toggling the switch 41. The three-prong terminal 42 of the toggle switch 41 is inserted into the three sockets 31, thus fixing it to the sealing assembly 3. Since the structure of the three-prong terminal 42 and the sockets 31 are matched, the toggle switch 41 can be better fixed to the sealing assembly 3. For ease of assembly, the three-prong terminal 42 is arranged to pass through the sockets 31, thus facilitating the connection between the connecting wire 43 and two of the three-prong terminal 42. The toggle lever 411 is used to control the circuit to control the power on and off. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting wire 43 includes a positive wire and a negative wire, which are electrically connected to the two terminals of the three-prong terminal 42 respectively. The connector 44 is a pin interface shell.

[0051] By having the toggle lever 411 of the toggle switch 41 pass through the square slot 131, the user can easily open the waterproof cover assembly 2 and directly control the power supply. Furthermore, the three-prong terminal 42 of the toggle switch 41 and the socket 31 are structurally matched, which allows the toggle switch 41 to be better fixed on the upper sealing block. The power supply is controlled by the control circuit through the toggle lever 411. The structure is simple and easy to maintain and repair. The connecting wire 43 can be integrated together through the connector 44 and then electrically connected to the monitoring equipment, which is convenient for operation.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of this application, the sealing component 3 is provided with a slot 32, and the communication unit 5 includes a card holder 52 and an FPC cable 53. The end of the card holder 52 away from the limiting part 13 is limited and engaged with the slot 32. One end of the FPC cable 53 passes through the slot 32 and is electrically connected to the end of the card holder 52 near the sealing component 3, and the other end is electrically connected to the monitoring device of the peripheral device. The slot 51 is located on the end of the card holder 52 away from the sealing component 3.

[0053] During the assembly of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, the FPC cable 53 is passed through the slot 32 until the card holder 52 abuts against one side of the slot 32, thus initially fixing the card holder 52. The card holder 52 is then placed in the second sub-slot 112, thereby fixing the card holder 52 inside the housing 1. The slot 51 is connected to the outside through the strip slot 132, making it convenient for the user to insert the memory card into the slot 51. The user inserts the FPC cable 53 into the monitoring equipment. Since the connection ports of different monitoring equipment are different, the FPC cable 53 can be bent to a certain extent, making it convenient for the user to insert the FPC cable 53 into different monitoring equipment. The card holder 52 can recognize the memory card and then communicate with the monitoring equipment, so that the memory card can store the monitoring video data of the monitoring equipment.

[0054] Specifically, the card holder 52 can be initially fixed by passing the FPC cable 53 through the card slot 32 and limiting the card holder 52 to one side of the card slot 32. The card holder 52 is further fixed by the second sub-slot 112. At this time, the slot 51 of the card holder 52 is connected to the outside through the strip slot 132, which makes it convenient for users to insert or remove the memory card. In this way, the memory card can communicate with the monitoring equipment through the card holder 52 to save the monitoring video data.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 1 is provided with an external thread 14, and the waterproof cover assembly 2 is provided with an internal thread 21 that matches the external thread 14. The waterproof cover assembly 2 is screwed to the outer shell 1.

[0056] During the use of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, the waterproof cover assembly 2 and the housing 1 are connected together by the external thread 14 and the internal thread 21. The user only needs to turn the waterproof cover assembly 2 to open or close the housing 1. The threaded connection can better prevent liquid from entering the housing 1, improve the sealing performance, and make it more convenient for the user to operate.

[0057] Specifically, by screwing the waterproof cover assembly 2 and the outer shell 1 together, liquid can be prevented from entering the outer shell 1 from one end, thereby improving the sealing performance. Moreover, the screwing method makes it more convenient for users to operate.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of this application, the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 1 is further provided with a baffle 15 and a nut 16. The waterproof cover assembly 2 includes a connecting ring 22 and a sealing cover 23. The outer peripheral wall of the connecting ring 22 is provided with a connecting strip 221. One end of the connecting strip 221 away from the connecting ring 22 is sleeved on the top of the sealing cover 23. The inner peripheral wall of the sealing cover 23 is provided with the internal thread 21. The sealing cover 23 is screwed to the outer shell 1. The connecting ring 22 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the outer shell 1. The nut 16 is screwed to the outer shell 1. The connecting ring 22 is pressed against one side of the baffle 15 by the nut 16. The connecting strip 221 is made of flexible material. The sealing cover 23 is provided with a sealing gasket 231 inside.

[0059] When operating the sealing cover 23, the connecting strip 221 prevents the sealing cover 23 from being lost and facilitates user operation. When rotating to open the sealing cover 23, there is no need to pay attention to its position; the connecting strip 221 allows the user to locate it. The connecting strip 221 is screwed onto the outer casing 1 via the connecting ring 22. The flexible material of the connecting strip 221 facilitates user operation of the sealing cover 23. When the connecting strip 221 is screwed onto the outer casing 1 and abuts against one side of the baffle 15, the flexible material of the connecting strip 221 does not generate resistance when the sealing cover 23 is fitted onto one end of the outer casing 1 and screwed in, thus facilitating user operation. On the other hand, the nut 16 is located at the end of the outer casing 1 near the connecting ring 22 and is fixed to the outer casing 1 by screwing. When the nut 16 and the connecting ring 22 are engaged on the side away from the baffle 15, the screwing of the nut 16 ensures the stability of the connecting ring 22 and prevents it from loosening or shifting during use. The mating structure of the nut 16 and the connecting ring 22 effectively enhances the sealing performance and structural stability of the connector, ensuring that the waterproof cover assembly 2 maintains a secure connection during operation. This improves the waterproof performance of the device, avoids the risk of liquid penetration, and guarantees the reliability and durability of the connector in harsh environments. During the use of the multi-functional waterproof connector 100, a sealing gasket 231 is provided inside the sealing cover 23. The sealing gasket 231, through its mating with the inner wall of the sealing cover 23, ensures the reliability of the sealing effect. Specifically, when the sealing cover 23 is screwed onto the housing 1 and abuts against the baffle 15, the ends of the sealing cover 23 and the housing 1 compress the sealing gasket 231. When the sealing cover 23 is screwed onto the housing 1 and abuts against the other side of the baffle 15, the sealing gasket 231 plays a crucial role in preventing external liquid from penetrating into the connector. By effectively filling the gap between the sealing cover 23 and the housing 1, the sealing gasket 231 enhances waterproofing, ensuring the stability and long-term reliability of the waterproof connector in harsh environments, and solving the problem of liquid penetration caused by poor sealing in traditional technologies.

[0060] Specifically, by setting a screw connection between the nut 16 and the housing 1, and engaging with the connecting ring 22 on the side away from the baffle 15, the stable positioning of the connecting ring 22 is ensured. This design effectively prevents the connecting ring 22 from loosening or shifting during use, enhancing the structural stability and sealing performance of the waterproof connector. Compared with existing technologies, this mating method simplifies the assembly process and improves the waterproof performance of the connector, avoiding the risk of liquid penetration and ensuring the long-term reliability and durability of the equipment in harsh environments. By setting a sealing gasket 231 inside the sealing cover 23, the gap between the sealing cover 23 and the housing 1 can be effectively filled, enhancing the waterproof performance. This design ensures that the interior of the waterproof connector is protected from external liquid contamination, improves the sealing effect, and avoids the risk of liquid penetration. Compared with traditional technologies, the addition of the sealing gasket 231 simplifies the assembly process and improves the reliability and stability of the waterproof connector, ensuring the safety of the equipment during long-term operation in harsh environments.

[0061] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of this application, a gasket 24 is provided between the connecting ring 22 and the baffle 15. A limiting block 151 is provided on the side of the baffle 15 near the connecting ring 22. A limiting groove 152 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the limiting block 151. A positioning block 241 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the gasket 24. The positioning block 241 and the limiting groove 152 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0062] A gasket 24 is placed between the connecting ring 22 and the baffle 15 to ensure the sealing and fixation between them. The inner peripheral wall of the gasket 24 is provided with a positioning block 241, which is arranged opposite to the limiting groove 152 on the baffle 15. This structural design, with the positioning block 241 and the limiting groove 152 engaging, ensures that the gasket 24 does not shift or displace during installation, thus maintaining structural stability. The outer peripheral wall of the limiting block 151 is provided with a limiting groove 152, which accurately restricts the relative movement between the gasket 24 and the baffle 15, ensuring precise control of the gap and position between the connecting ring 22 and the baffle 15. This structural design not only increases assembly accuracy but also improves sealing performance, preventing external liquid penetration and ensuring a stable connection and protective effect between the waterproof cover assembly 2 and the outer shell 1.

[0063] Specifically, by setting up a mating structure between the gasket 24, connecting ring 22, and limiting block 151, precise positioning and stable connection between the connecting ring 22 and the baffle 15 are ensured. The mutual cooperation between the positioning block 241 and the limiting groove 152 effectively prevents the gasket 24 from shifting during installation, maintains the seal between the connecting ring 22 and the baffle 15, and thus enhances waterproof performance. Compared with existing technologies, this structural design not only improves assembly accuracy but also greatly enhances the stability of the waterproof connector, avoids the risk of external liquid penetration, and ensures the reliability and long service life of the equipment in harsh environments.

[0064] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
