Abstract
Description
本揭露係關於一種電子裝置及其元件，特別係一種具有防水功能之電子裝置及其保護殼體。 The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and its components, and more particularly to an electronic device having a waterproof function and a protective casing thereof.
在特殊環境下使用的電子產品需要符合一些必要條件，例如可沈入水中、或者在低溫中使用等。舉例而言，現有之電子產品多不具備防水功能，或者僅具有較差之氣密功能，一旦電子產品因使用者失誤而落入水中，便會損壞，無法再使用。 Electronic products used in special environments need to meet certain requirements, such as sinking into water or using them at low temperatures. For example, existing electronic products do not have waterproof function, or only have poor airtight function. Once the electronic product falls into the water due to user error, it will be damaged and can no longer be used.
目前業界對這個問題之解決方案，係於電子產品殼體之間放置密封圈。然而，傳統的密封圈係在垂直方向上受到二個殼件的壓迫。如此一來，殼件需要在水平方向上提供一接觸表面以壓迫密封圈。上述結構將造成殼件在水平方向上厚度的增加，不利產品小型化。 The current solution to this problem is to place a seal between the housings of the electronics. However, the conventional seal ring is pressed by the two shell members in the vertical direction. As such, the cover member needs to provide a contact surface in the horizontal direction to press the seal ring. The above structure will cause an increase in the thickness of the case member in the horizontal direction, which is disadvantageous for miniaturization of the product.
另一方面，現有之具有防水功能之保護殼體在具有較大水壓的環境下使用時，其結構將因過大的壓力而產生變形。上述結構上的變形將導致應用上述保護殼體之電子產品原先設計之防水功能失效，內部的電子元件因接觸水份而無法正常運作。 On the other hand, when the existing protective casing having a waterproof function is used in an environment having a large water pressure, its structure will be deformed by excessive pressure. The above structural deformation will cause the original design of the waterproof function of the electronic product to which the protective casing is applied to fail, and the internal electronic component cannot operate normally due to contact with moisture.
本揭露之一目的在於提供一種具有水密以及/或者氣密功能之保護殼體。本揭露之另一目的在提供一種可在具有較大 壓力之環境下使用之保護殼體。 It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a protective housing having a watertight and/or airtight function.

參照第1圖，第1圖顯示本揭露之部分實施例之保護殼體1之結構***圖。在部分實施例中，保護殼體1係配置用於容置至少一電子元件於其中，一示範性實施例將顯示於第9圖。由於保護殼體1具有水密、氣密等功能，設置於保護殼體1內部之電子 元件可免於因水氣或異物侵入而造成之損害。在部分實施例中，一應用如本揭露之保護殼體1之穿戴性電子裝置(例如：手錶)係符合IP*7(浸入水中1公尺深且超過30分鐘)以上之防水等級，並且可使用於具有高水壓之環境當中。關於保護殼體1的多種實施方式說明如下：參照第1圖，保護殼體1包括一上殼件10、一下殼件20、及一密封元件30。保護殼體10之元件數量可依照需求增加或減少，並不限於此實施例。密封元件30設置於上殼件10與下殼件20之間，上、下殼件10、20分別提供一側向壓力抵靠密封元件30，以達到密封之功效。 Referring to Fig. 1, there is shown a structural exploded view of a protective casing 1 of a portion of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the protective housing 1 is configured to receive at least one electronic component therein, an exemplary embodiment of which will be shown in FIG. Since the protective casing 1 has functions such as watertightness, airtightness, etc., the electrons disposed inside the protective casing 1 The components are protected from damage caused by moisture or foreign matter. In some embodiments, a wearable electronic device (eg, a watch) that protects the housing 1 as disclosed herein conforms to the waterproof rating of IP*7 (immersed in water 1 meter deep and over 30 minutes). Used in environments with high water pressure. Various embodiments of the protective housing 1 are described below. Referring to FIG. 1, the protective housing 1 includes an upper housing member 10, a lower housing member 20, and a sealing member 30. The number of components of the protective casing 10 can be increased or decreased as needed, and is not limited to this embodiment. The sealing member 30 is disposed between the upper casing member 10 and the lower casing member 20, and the upper and lower casing members 10, 20 respectively provide a lateral pressure against the sealing member 30 to achieve the sealing effect.
參照第2圖，其顯示根據本揭露之部分實施例之保護殼體10之剖面圖。在部分實施例中，下殼件20包括一下基板21、一下側邊框22、及複數個定位孔23。定位孔23形成於下基板21位於下側邊框22之內側。定位件(例如：螺絲，未顯示於圖中)在裝置內部(screw inside)對上、下殼件10、20進行固定。但應當理解的是，本揭露並不僅此為限，在其他未圖示之實施例中，定位孔23係形成於下基板21位於下側邊框22之外側。定位件(例如：螺絲，未顯示於圖中)在裝置外部(screw outside)對上、下殼件10、20進行固定。 Referring to Figure 2, there is shown a cross-sectional view of a protective housing 10 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the lower case member 20 includes a lower substrate 21, a lower side frame 22, and a plurality of positioning holes 23. The positioning hole 23 is formed in the lower substrate 21 on the inner side of the lower side frame 22. A positioning member (for example, a screw, not shown in the drawing) fixes the upper and lower casing members 10, 20 inside the device. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments not shown, the positioning holes 23 are formed on the outer side of the lower frame 21 on the lower substrate 21. A positioning member (for example, a screw, not shown in the drawing) fixes the upper and lower casing members 10, 20 outside the device.
在部分實施例中，下側邊框22係自下基板21朝上殼件10之方向延伸。下側邊框22與下基板21可利用射出成形等方式以一體成形製成。為清楚揭露下側邊框22之結構，以下內容中， 如第3圖所示，下側邊框22將分作第一次區段221、第二次區段223、第三次區段225進行說明。在部分實施例中，第一次區段221連結下基板21之最外緣，並沿平行軸心C(第3圖)之方向朝上殼件10延伸。第二次區段223連結第一次區段221之末端，並沿垂直軸心C(第3圖)之方向向外延伸。第三次區段225連結第二次區段223之末端，並沿平行軸心C(第3圖)之方向朝上殼件10延伸。如此一來，一平台224定義於下側邊框22對應於第二次區段223之內表面220之位置。 In some embodiments, the lower side frame 22 extends from the lower substrate 21 toward the upper case member 10. The lower side frame 22 and the lower substrate 21 can be integrally formed by injection molding or the like. In order to clearly disclose the structure of the lower side frame 22, in the following, As shown in FIG. 3, the lower side frame 22 will be described as the first section 221, the second section 223, and the third section 225. In some embodiments, the first segment 221 joins the outermost edge of the lower substrate 21 and extends toward the upper casing member 10 in the direction of the parallel axis C (Fig. 3). The second section 223 joins the end of the first subsection 221 and extends outward in the direction of the vertical axis C (Fig. 3). The third section 225 joins the ends of the second section 223 and extends toward the upper casing member 10 in the direction of the parallel axis C (Fig. 3). As such, a platform 224 is defined where the lower side frame 22 corresponds to the inner surface 220 of the second sub-section 223.
另一方面，下殼件20更包括二個延伸區段227、229以彼此相隔一間距之方式形成於第三次區段225，並朝外側凸出。在部分實施例中，二個延伸區段227、229係沿垂直軸心C(第3圖)之方向向外延伸。二個延伸區段227、229環繞軸心C設置。如此一來，一由下側邊框22之第三次區段225以及二個延伸區段227、229所定義之溝槽228係位於下側邊框22之端部226之鄰近處。 On the other hand, the lower casing member 20 further includes two extending sections 227, 229 formed at a distance from each other in the third sub-section 225 and projecting outward. In some embodiments, the two extended sections 227, 229 extend outwardly in the direction of the vertical axis C (Fig. 3). Two extension sections 227, 229 are arranged around the axis C. As such, a groove 228 defined by the third section 225 of the lower side frame 22 and the two extension sections 227, 229 is located adjacent the end 226 of the lower side frame 22.
繼續參照第3圖，上殼件10包括一上基板11以及一上側邊框12。上側邊框12自上基板11朝下殼件20延伸並覆蓋溝槽228之開口。在部分實施例中，上側邊框12之內表面120包括一平面。上述平面係沿平行於軸心C(第3圖)的方向自上基板11之內表面110延伸至上側邊框12之端部122。在部分實施例中，在平行於軸心C(第3圖)的方向上，上側邊框12不具有厚度變化。亦即，上側邊框12具有相同的厚度。 With continued reference to FIG. 3, the upper casing member 10 includes an upper substrate 11 and an upper side frame 12. The upper side frame 12 extends from the upper substrate 11 toward the lower case member 20 and covers the opening of the groove 228. In some embodiments, the inner surface 120 of the upper side frame 12 includes a flat surface. The plane extends from the inner surface 110 of the upper substrate 11 to the end 122 of the upper frame 12 in a direction parallel to the axis C (Fig. 3). In some embodiments, the upper side frame 12 does not have a thickness variation in a direction parallel to the axis C (Fig. 3). That is, the upper side frames 12 have the same thickness.
密封元件30係設置於溝槽228當中並同時受上側邊 框12之內表面120以及溝槽228之內壁面所壓迫。在部分實施例中，如第2圖所示，密封元件30為一O-ring。密封元件30係選自於由天然橡膠、丁腈橡膠(Nitrile Butadiene Rubber，NBR)、三元乙丙橡膠(Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer，EPDM)及其組合所構成之群組之材料所製成。密封元件30在受壓時產生彈性變形。 The sealing member 30 is disposed in the groove 228 and is simultaneously subjected to the upper side The inner surface 120 of the frame 12 and the inner wall surface of the groove 228 are pressed. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2, the sealing element 30 is an O-ring. The sealing member 30 is selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM), and combinations thereof. The sealing member 30 is elastically deformed when pressed.
在部分實施例中，密封元件30之內徑係略小於位於軸心C相對二側之溝槽228之內壁面之間距D1，且密封元件30之外徑係實質相同於位於軸心C相對二側之溝槽228之開口之間距D2且實質相同於位於軸心C相對二側之上側邊框12之內表面120之間距D2。 In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the sealing member 30 is slightly smaller than the distance D1 between the inner wall surfaces of the grooves 228 on opposite sides of the axial center C, and the outer diameter of the sealing member 30 is substantially the same as that at the axial center C. The distance between the openings of the side grooves 228 is substantially equal to the distance D2 between the inner surfaces 120 of the side frames 12 on the opposite sides of the axis C.
舉例而言，密封元件30之內徑為38.0mm，密封元件30之外徑40.0mm，間距D1為38.2mm，間距D2為40.0mm。於是，當密封元件30設置於溝槽228時，密封元件30與溝槽228之內壁面產生干涉，但未與上側邊框12產生干涉或產生些微干涉。在上、下殼件10、20進行結合前，密封元件30首先設置於溝槽228內。由於密封元件30與溝槽228之內壁面產生干涉，密封元件30將穩定設置於溝槽228當中，不會自溝槽228脫落。接著，在上、下殼件10、20進行的過程中，由於密封元件30未與上側邊框12之內側表面120產生干涉或產生些微干涉，因此可避免密封元件30與上側邊框12產生側向摩擦所造成的磨損，並可防止保護殼體1喪失水密或氣密之功能。另一方面，在上、下殼件10、20相互結合後，上側邊框 12相對於溝槽228之內表面120係完全為密封元件30所貼合，水氣與灰塵無法進入保護殼體1之內部。 For example, the inner diameter of the sealing member 30 is 38.0 mm, the outer diameter of the sealing member 30 is 40.0 mm, the spacing D1 is 38.2 mm, and the spacing D2 is 40.0 mm. Thus, when the sealing member 30 is disposed in the groove 228, the sealing member 30 interferes with the inner wall surface of the groove 228, but does not interfere with or slightly interfere with the upper side frame 12. The sealing element 30 is first disposed within the trench 228 prior to bonding of the upper and lower casing members 10, 20. Since the sealing member 30 interferes with the inner wall surface of the groove 228, the sealing member 30 will be stably disposed in the groove 228 without coming off the groove 228. Then, during the process of the upper and lower casing members 10, 20, since the sealing member 30 does not interfere or slightly interfere with the inner side surface 120 of the upper side frame 12, lateral friction between the sealing member 30 and the upper side frame 12 can be avoided. The resulting wear and the function of protecting the casing 1 from watertightness or airtightness can be prevented. On the other hand, after the upper and lower casing members 10, 20 are combined with each other, the upper side frame The inner surface 120 of the groove 228 is completely adhered to the sealing member 30, and moisture and dust cannot enter the inside of the protective casing 1.
值得注意的是，由於上、下殼件10、20係在側邊方向上提供密封元件30壓力而使保護殼體1具有水密或氣密之功效，相較於在垂直方向上提供密封元件30壓力之保護殼體而言，本實施例之上殼件10不需增加在側邊方向上之結構，以抵靠密封元件30。因此，上殼件10在側邊方向上之厚度可以進行縮減，在保護殼體1具有相同外尺寸的情況下，保護殼體1內部可以空出更多空間容置其餘電子元件。 It is to be noted that since the upper and lower casing members 10, 20 provide the pressure of the sealing member 30 in the lateral direction, the protective casing 1 has the effect of being watertight or airtight, compared to providing the sealing member 30 in the vertical direction. In the case of a pressure-protecting housing, the housing member 10 of the present embodiment does not need to be increased in the lateral direction to abut against the sealing member 30. Therefore, the thickness of the upper case member 10 in the side direction can be reduced. In the case where the protective case 1 has the same outer size, the inside of the protective case 1 can free more space for accommodating the remaining electronic components.
