Abstract

A waterproof cover for use in an electronic device includes a first cover body, a fixing member, a sliding member, and a second cover body. The first cover body has a connecting portion and a positioning portion, the connecting portion being rotatably mounted on the electronic device. The fixing member connects to the first cover body and forms a groove together with the first cover body. The sliding member is slidably disposed within the groove and adapted to slide between a first position and a second position. The sliding member has a latching portion adapted to engage with the electronic device. When the sliding member is in the first position, the latching portion protrudes from the first cover body via the positioning portion; when the sliding member is in the second position, the latching portion moves into the first cover body via the positioning portion. The second cover body engages with the first cover body and covers the fixing member and the sliding member.

Claims

1. A waterproof cover for use in an electronic device, the waterproof cover comprising: A first cover has a connecting portion and a positioning portion, the connecting portion being rotatably mounted on the electronic device; A fixing member connects to the first cover and forms a groove together with the first cover; a sliding member is slidably disposed in the groove and adapted to slide between a first position and a second position, the sliding member having a latching portion adapted to latch with the electronic device, the latching portion protruding from the first cover via the positioning portion when the sliding member is in the first position, and the latching portion moving into the first cover via the positioning portion when the sliding member is in the second position; and a second cover is latched onto the first cover and covers the fixing member and the sliding member.

2. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second cover body is adapted to insert the electronic device.

3. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 2, wherein the second cover body is spaced to fit the first cover body, and the second cover body does not contact the fixing member and the sliding member.

4. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 3, wherein the second cover has a cover plate adapted to cover the first cover and a waterproof ring adapted to abut against the electronic device, the waterproof ring being mounted on the periphery of the cover plate on the side away from the first cover and having a first annular flange and a second annular flange, the first annular flange protruding in a direction away from the first cover, and the second annular flange surrounding the cover plate in a direction parallel to the first cover.

5. The waterproof cap as claimed in claim 4, wherein the second annular flange tapers from a bottom to a top.

6. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 4, wherein the first cover body further has a bend located between the connecting portion and the positioning portion.

7. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 6 further includes a torsion spring, wherein the torsion spring is disposed at the connection and abuts against the electronic device and the first cover, and provides a restoring force to move the first cover away from the electronic device.

8. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 4, wherein the waterproof ring is an elastic element and the first annular flange is adapted to provide a restoring force that pulls the cover away from the electronic device.

9. The waterproof cap as claimed in claim 8, wherein the first annular flange tapers from a bottom to a top.

10. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 3, wherein the first cover body is clearance-fitted to the second cover body in a thickness direction, a first direction perpendicular to the thickness direction, and a second direction perpendicular to both the thickness direction and the first direction.

11. The waterproof cap as claimed in claim 10, wherein the edge of the first cap body has a plurality of claws extending along the thickness direction, each of the claws having a protrusion extending toward the center of the first cap body at its front end, the second cap body having a plurality of mating grooves corresponding to the claws, each of the mating grooves having a first recess corresponding to one of the protrusions, the size of the mating grooves being larger than the size of the claws, and the size of the first recesses being larger than the size of the protrusions.

12. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 11, wherein the claws are disposed on opposite sides of the first cover body along the first direction.

13. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 12, wherein the claw portions located on the same side of the first cover body in the first direction are spaced apart from each other along the second direction.

14. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fastener has a spring piece, one end of which has a protrusion toward the slider, the slider having two first snap-fit ​​grooves adapted to abut against the protrusion, the first snap-fit ​​grooves being spaced apart from each other by a distance equal to the distance between the first position and the second position.

15. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting portion and the positioning portion are opposite to each other in a second direction, the first cover body has a through hole, the slider has an operating block exposed through the through hole, and the operating block has a first snap-fit ​​groove on a side wall surface on the side away from the connecting portion in the second direction.

16. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 15, wherein the first cover body has a second groove on a side away from the second cover body, the through hole is located at a bottom of the second groove, and the sidewall of the second groove tapers from the first cover body toward the second cover body.

17. The waterproof cover as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first cover body further comprises a pivot and a push block, the pivot being located at the connection portion, the first cover body being adapted to rotate about the pivot relative to the electronic device, and the push block being connected to the end of the connection portion away from the positioning portion and adapted to push against the electronic device when the waterproof cover is opened.

18. The waterproof cap as claimed in claim 17, wherein the first cap body has a chamfer at the connection portion that is inclined toward the positioning portion.

19. The waterproof cap as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning portion and the connecting portion are opposite to each other.
