Two sets of upper irregular blocks are fixed to the curved inner wall of the upper semi-arc cylinder, and three sets of lower irregular blocks are fixed to the curved inner wall of the lower semi-arc cylinder. The lower and upper irregular blocks are staggered and form a wavy channel inside the outlet conduit.
[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the base is provided with two sets of clearance grooves at the edge position, and the two sets of arc-shaped clips can be engaged in the clearance grooves.
[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the top cover is fixed with two sets of abutments inserted into the relief groove, and the bottom of the abutments is arc-shaped and fits against the outer wall of the upper semi-arc cylinder.
[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, both the base and the top cover are equipped with thermally conductive silicone pads, and the outer wall of the thermally conductive silicone pads is provided with a heat-spreading plate connected to the base and the top cover.
[0009] According to some embodiments of this utility model, two sets of ear plates are fixed on the front and rear outer walls of the base, and the top of the ear plates is reserved with long straight grooves for installing bolts.
[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the sealing element includes a rubber strip fixed to the top edge of the base, and a retaining frame is fixed to the bottom of the top cover at a position corresponding to the rubber strip.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figures 1 to 6The circuit board waterproof structure shown includes: a waterproof shell 100 and a circuit board 140. The waterproof shell 100 includes a base 110, and a top cover 120 is mounted on the top of the base 110. The circuit board 140 is mounted inside the base 110. The end face of the waterproof shell 100 is provided with two sets of conduit assemblies 170 for discharging wires. The bottom of the base 110 and the top of the top cover 120 are both equipped with heat dissipation fins 180 for heat dissipation. The top of the waterproof shell 100 is provided with a sealing element 160. The conduit assembly 170 includes an upper semi-arc cylinder 171 and a lower semi-arc cylinder 173. The upper semi-arc cylinder 171 and the lower semi-arc cylinder 173 abut against each other to form an outlet conduit. Arc-shaped clips 172 are fixed to the curved outer walls of the upper semi-arc cylinder 171 and the lower semi-arc cylinder 173. Two sets of upper irregular blocks 175 are fixed to the curved inner wall of the upper semi-arc cylinder 171. Three sets of lower irregular blocks 174 are fixed to the curved inner wall of the lower semi-arc cylinder 173. The lower irregular blocks 174 and the upper irregular blocks 175 are distributed in a staggered manner and form a wavy channel inside the outlet conduit.
[0021] The top of the base 110 has two sets of clearance grooves 111 along the edge, and two sets of arc-shaped clips 172 can be engaged in the clearance grooves 111.
[0022] The bottom of the top cover 120 is fixed with two sets of abutment plates 121 inserted into the relief groove 111. The bottom of the abutment plate 121 is arc-shaped and fits against the outer wall of the upper semi-arc cylinder 171.
[0023] The sealing element 160 includes a rubber strip 161 fixed to the top edge of the base 110, and a retaining frame 162 is fixed to the bottom of the top cover 120 at a position corresponding to the rubber strip 161.
[0024] It is worth noting that: pads 112 are fixed at the corners of the bottom of the base 110, and mounting slots for assembling heat dissipation fins 180 are provided on the bottom of the base 110 and the upper surface of the top cover 120. The pad 112 at the bottom of the base 110 can suspend the heat dissipation fins 180 in a suspended state, effectively preventing the heat dissipation fins 180 from deforming due to external forces, protecting the structural integrity of the heat dissipation fins, and thus avoiding the problem of affecting heat dissipation performance due to deformation. The heat spreader 131 is made of metal, specifically copper or aluminum, two common heat-conducting materials; ensuring that heat can be quickly and efficiently conducted to the internal structure of the heat sink 180, thereby achieving efficient heat dissipation.
[0025] The circuit board 140 is completely enclosed in a sealed space formed by the base 110 and the top cover 120, which effectively isolates the circuit board 140 from the corrosion of the external humid environment. This allows the circuit board 140 to maintain normal operation when facing harsh environments such as humidity and water splashes, which greatly improves the reliability and service life of electronic products. Meanwhile, the wavy channel formed by the upper semi-arc cylinder 171 and the lower semi-arc cylinder 173 in the conduit assembly 170 not only facilitates the arrangement and organization of wires but also further enhances the waterproof effect, preventing moisture from seeping into the interior of the waterproof housing 100 through the conduit assembly 170. Furthermore, the sealing element 160 is designed (as per the instruction manual). Figure 2 As shown, the contact surfaces of the base 110 and the top cover 120 are provided with rubber strips 161 and clip frames 16. When the base 110 and the top cover 120 are engaged, they can achieve a double sealing effect and make the connection between the base 110 and the top cover 120 more secure. The cooperation of the rubber strips 161 and the clip frames 162 further ensures the sealing performance of the waterproof shell 100, making the waterproof effect of the entire circuit board better.
[0026] Both the base 110 and the top cover 120 are equipped with thermally conductive silicone pads 130, and the outer wall of the thermally conductive silicone pads 130 is provided with a heat spreader 131 connected to the base 110 and the top cover 120.
[0027] The thermally conductive silicone pad 130 quickly conducts heat from inside the waterproof housing 100 to the heat spreader 131. With its excellent thermal conductivity, the heat spreader 131 evenly distributes and quickly transfers heat to the heat sink 180. The heat sink 180 then exchanges heat efficiently with the surrounding air, effectively reducing the internal temperature of the waterproof housing 100. This prevents localized overheating from damaging the circuit board 140, ensuring that the electronic equipment maintains a stable operating temperature during long-term operation, thereby extending its overall service life.
[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 The base 110 has two sets of ear plates 150 fixed on its front and rear outer walls. The top of the ear plates 150 has a long straight groove for installing bolts.
[0029] The use of bolted tubes with long straight grooves securely connects the ear plate 150 to external equipment, facilitating the installation and use of the entire circuit board's waterproof structure.
[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 The base 110 has four sets of positioning cylinders near the inside corner for fixing the circuit board 140, and the positioning cylinders use screws to fix the circuit board 140.
[0031] It serves to position the circuit board 140, preventing it from shaking or shifting inside the waterproof housing, and ensuring that the circuit board 140 maintains a stable working state during the operation of the electronic device.
[0032] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
