Thus, the technical features of the first seal 30, the second seal 40, and the third seal 50 provided herein may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. The technical features including "first" and "second" mentioned later in this application can be understood correspondingly. Furthermore, references to "comprising" in this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, not just those listed, but may alternatively include additional non-listed elements.

The present application first briefly introduces the above-mentioned structure.

The housing 20 of the present application is a support and protection member for the electronic device 2, and functions to support and protect various components within the electronic device 2. The housing 20 includes a main body 21 and an extension 22 extending from the periphery of the main body 21. The main body 21 and the extension portion 22 are made of the same material and are prepared through the same process, so that the extension portion 22 is bent and extended from the periphery of the main body 21. The extending portion 22 is provided with a groove 23, and the groove 23 is provided for accommodating the USB socket 10, that is, part of the USB socket 10 is disposed in the groove 23, and the other part is disposed on the body 21, or the USB socket 10 is entirely disposed in the groove 23. It will also be appreciated that the body 21 is generally rectangular, having four sides, and thus the number of extensions 22 is four. The extension part 22 comprises a first sub-extension part 220 and a second sub-extension part 221, the groove 23 is formed on the first sub-extension part 220, and the other extension parts 22 without the groove 23 are the second sub-extension parts 221; that is, only one of the extension portions 22 is provided with the groove 23, and the other three extension portions 22 are not provided with the grooves 23. Optionally, the housing 20 is a front case of the electronic device 2.

The present application provides a USB socket assembly 1 comprising a USB socket 10, a housing 20, and a first seal 30. The USB socket 10 is one of important components in the electronic device 2, and the USB socket 10 corresponds to a "transfer station" of each component in the electronic device 2. It allows an external data line to be inserted, thereby electrically connecting the data line with the USB socket 10. The USB socket 10 is electrically connected to other components in the electronic device 2, so that the data lines can be electrically connected to the components in the electronic device 2, thereby implementing various functions. For example, when an external data line is inserted into the USB socket 10, the battery of the electronic device 2 may be charged, data in the electronic device 2 may be read, data may be written into the electronic device 2, and the like.

The primary role of the first seal 30 in the electronic device 2 is to seal against water. The first sealing element 30 is to be sleeved on a portion of the surface of the USB socket 10, that is, the first sealing element 30 is sleeved on one side of the USB socket 10, and when the USB socket 10 is installed in the groove 23, the first sealing element 30 is also located in the groove 23 to seal and waterproof the groove 23. Since the first sealing member 30 is to be sleeved on a part of the surface of the USB socket 10, the shape of the first sealing member 30 matches the shape of the surface of the USB socket 10 to be sleeved. Since the surface of the USB socket 10 to be sleeved is an oval, the shape of the first sealing member 30 is also an oval. Optionally, the material of the first sealing member 30 includes, but is not limited to, silicone, waterproof foam, and the like.

In the related art, the USB socket 10 with the first sealing member 30 at least partially mounted therein is assembled with the electronic device 2. As can be seen from the above, since the surface of the USB socket 10 to be sleeved is oval, the shape of the first sealing member 30 is also oval, but at this time, the side wall 231 of the groove 23 is flat due to the manufacturing process of the housing 20. Therefore, when the first sealing member 30 abuts against the side wall 231, the shaped first sealing member 30 cannot be effectively fitted with the straight side wall 231, that is, the first sealing member 30 cannot be completely fitted with the side wall 231 of the groove 23, and therefore, a gap exists between the first sealing member 30 and the side wall 231. Therefore, the first sealing member 30 cannot seal the groove 23 to prevent water, which causes a problem of water leakage in the electronic device 2 and reduces the waterproof performance of the electronic device 2. Water, dust, impurities, or the like may enter the inside of the electronic device 2 from the gap between the first sealing member 30 and the side wall 231, thereby breaking devices inside the electronic device 2 and reducing the safety of the devices inside the electronic device 2.

In view of this, in order to solve the above problem, the present application may also be understood by fitting the side wall 231 to the first seal 30, that is, by fitting the shape of the side wall 231 to the shape of the first seal 30, that is, by completely corresponding the shape of the side wall 231 to the shape of the first seal 30. Thus, when the USB socket 10 with the first sealing member 30 mounted thereon is mounted in the groove 23, the shape of the sidewall 231 completely corresponds to the shape of the first sealing member 30, so that the sidewall 231 will be well fitted with the first sealing member 30, i.e. the first sealing member 30 is attached to the surface of the sidewall 231. Through mutually supporting of first sealing member 30 and lateral wall 231 to carry out good waterproof seal to recess 23, thereby make water can't get into the inside device destruction with in the electronic equipment 2 of electronic equipment 2 through recess 23, guaranteed the security of the inside device of electronic equipment 2, solve the problem that electronic equipment 2 leaked, greatly improved electronic equipment 2's waterproof performance. In addition, the electronic equipment 2 can effectively prevent water from entering the electronic equipment 2, and can also prevent substances such as dust and impurities from entering the electronic equipment 2. The specific structure of the components described above, and the method of manufacturing the USB socket assembly 1, will be described in detail later.

Referring to fig. 1 again, in the present embodiment, the first sealing member 30 is oval, the sidewall 231 is arc-shaped, and the arc-shaped sidewall 231 and the oval-shaped first sealing member 30 are matched with each other to seal and waterproof the groove 23. As can be seen from the above, since the surface of the USB socket 10 to be sleeved is oval, the shape of the first sealing member 30 is also oval. Therefore, the present embodiment designs the shape of the side wall 231 to be an arc shape, and makes the arc shape completely and correspondingly fit with the shape of the ellipse. Thus, when the USB socket 10 with the first sealing element 30 mounted thereon is mounted in the groove 23, since the arc-shaped sidewall 231 and the elliptical first sealing element 30 can be well attached and sealed, no gap exists between the sidewall 231 and the first sealing element 30, the groove 23 can be well sealed and waterproof, and the waterproof performance of the USB socket assembly 1 is greatly improved.

Alternatively, the curved sidewall 231 may be unitary or the curved groove 23 may be split. When the curved sidewall 231 is a single piece, as shown in fig. 1, the groove 23 can be formed by injection molding. However, since the side wall 231 is curved, i.e. the recess 23 is smaller away from the bottom wall 230 than the recess 23 is close to the bottom wall 230, this configuration can be referred to as a reverse-buckling configuration. At this time, the mold cannot be manufactured by using the conventional injection molding process because the mold is removed from the mold in a direction perpendicular to the bottom wall 230, but the mold is caught by the undercut structure due to the undercut structure, so that the mold cannot be removed. Therefore, the present application also provides a method of demolding, i.e., ejecting the housing 20 from the mold in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 222, i.e., obliquely ejecting the housing 20 in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 222. Therefore, the problem that demoulding cannot be carried out due to the existence of the inverted buckle structure can be avoided, and the structure of the USB socket component 1 provided by the first embodiment of the application is prepared. The specific demolding method will be described in detail later in this application. When the arc-shaped groove 23 is split, please refer to fig. 6 together, and fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of a housing in a USB socket assembly according to a second embodiment of the present application. The structure of the USB socket assembly 1 provided in the second embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the structure of the USB socket assembly 1 provided in the first embodiment of the present application, except that in this embodiment, the side wall 231 includes a side wall body 232 and an arc-shaped protrusion 233 provided on the side wall body 232. In an embodiment, the sidewall 231 of the present application is formed by first preparing the sidewall 231 structure as in the related art, then preparing the arc-shaped protrusion 233, and finally connecting the arc-shaped protrusion 233 to the sidewall body 232. Therefore, the side wall 231 structure required by the application can be prepared by adopting the existing preparation process, and the processing cost is greatly reduced.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a housing of a USB socket assembly according to a third embodiment of the present application. The structure of the USB socket assembly 1 provided in the third embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the structure of the USB socket assembly 1 provided in the first embodiment of the present application, except that in the present embodiment, the extension portion 22 and the body 21 enclose to form the receiving space 24, the extension portion 22 includes a first surface 222 and a second surface 223 which are oppositely disposed, the first surface 222 deviates from the receiving space 24 compared with the second surface 223, the groove 23 penetrates through the first surface 222 and the second surface 223, and the dimension of the groove 23 close to the first surface 222 is greater than the dimension of the groove 23 deviating from the first surface 222.

The present embodiment designs the dimension of the groove 23 close to said first surface 222 to be larger than the dimension of said groove 23 away from said first surface 222. This not only makes it easier to remove the mold from the mold, but also allows the USB socket 10 to be assembled in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 222 when it is assembled into the recess 23. At this time, because the size of the groove 23 facing away from the first surface 222 is smaller, the first sealing member 30 is in a larger compressed state, so as to better fit with the inner wall of the groove 23, and finally, the waterproof performance of the electronic device 2 is further improved.

Optionally, the size of the groove 23 gradually increases from the direction away from the first surface 222 to the direction close to the first surface 222. The side wall 231 of the groove 23 is obliquely arranged from the first surface 222 to the second surface 223, so that the module is easier to demould, and the effect of the fit between the first sealing element 30 and the groove 23 can be further improved, thereby further improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 2. Further alternatively, the interference between the first seal 30 and the dimension of the groove 23 adjacent to the first surface 222 is 0.15mm, and the interference between the first seal 30 and the dimension of the groove 23 adjacent to the second surface 223 is 0.13 mm. It will also be appreciated that the side wall 231 sloping from the first surface 222 towards the second surface 223 reduces the size of the recess 23 by 0.02 mm. The radian of the inclination of the side wall 231 is small, so that the magnitude of decrease of the interference is small. When the USB socket 10 is installed in the recess 23, the first sealing member 30 is compressed, and the compressed first sealing member 30 is subjected to a resilience force outward and perpendicular to the first sealing member, so as to fill up the unevenness of the surfaces of the first side wall 231 and the bottom wall 230, thereby further improving the adhesion effect of the first sealing member 30 and the recess 23, and improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 2.

Referring to fig. 8, 9 and 10 together, fig. 8 is an exploded view of a USB socket assembly according to a fourth embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 is an exploded view of a USB socket assembly according to a fifth embodiment of the present application. Fig. 10 is an exploded view of a USB socket assembly according to a sixth embodiment of the present application. The structure of the USB socket assembly 1 according to the fourth, fifth, and sixth embodiments of the present invention is substantially the same as the structure of the USB socket assembly 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, except that in the fourth, fifth, and sixth embodiments, a plurality of first positioning portions 31 are provided at intervals on the first sealing member 30, a plurality of second positioning portions 25 are provided at intervals on the side wall 231 and the bottom wall 230, each first positioning portion 31 is provided in a gap between two adjacent second positioning portions 25, each first positioning portion 31 abuts against two adjacent second positioning portions 25, and the first positioning portions 31 and the second positioning portions are engaged with each other to position the USB socket 10.

In the present application, the first sealing element 30 is provided with the plurality of first positioning portions 31 arranged at intervals, the side wall 231 and the bottom wall 230 are provided with the plurality of second positioning portions 25 arranged at intervals, and the first positioning portions 31 and the second positioning portions 25 are matched with each other (that is, each of the first positioning portions 31 is arranged in a gap between two adjacent second positioning portions 25, and each of the first positioning portions 31 abuts against two adjacent second positioning portions 25. it can also be understood that each of the second positioning portions 25 is arranged in a gap between two adjacent first positioning portions 31, and each of the second positioning portions 25 abuts against two adjacent first positioning portions 31), so that the USB socket 10 can be better fixed in the groove 23, and the fixing effect of the USB socket 10 is improved. So that a fixed connection between the USB socket 10 and the body 21 is not required. Alternatively, the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 25 have various forms. For example, the first positioning portion 31 may have a convex structure or a concave structure. The second positioning portions 25 may be of a male type structure or a female type structure. When the first positioning portions 31 and the second positioning portions 25 are engaged with each other, as shown in fig. 8, the first positioning portions 31 may have a convex structure, and the second positioning portions 25 may have a concave structure. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 9, the first positioning portions 31 have a concave structure and the second positioning portions 25 have a convex structure. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 10, the first positioning portions 31 have a convex configuration, and the second positioning portions 25 also have a convex configuration.

The above description of the present application describes the structural form of the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 25, but the arrangement form of the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 25 may be various for the first positioning portion 31 and the second positioning portion 25. The present application will continue with the introduction. Referring to fig. 8, 9 and 10 again, in an embodiment of the present application, the second positioning portions 25 are disposed at intervals from the side wall 231 toward the bottom wall 230. The second positioning portions 25 are spaced from the side wall 231 toward the bottom wall 230, so that the USB socket 10 can be more simply installed in the groove 23 along a direction perpendicular to the first surface 222. Not only can the USB socket 10 be quickly installed in the groove 23, but also the USB socket 10 and the groove 23 can be well fixed. Alternatively, when the second positioning portions 25 are provided at intervals in the direction from the side wall 231 toward the bottom wall 230, the first positioning portions 31 are also provided at intervals in the direction from the side wall 231 toward the bottom wall 230. This allows the USB socket 10 to be better fitted into the recess 23.

Referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is an exploded view of a USB socket assembly according to a seventh embodiment of the present application. The structure of the USB socket assembly 1 according to the seventh embodiment of the present application is substantially the same as the structure of the USB socket assembly 1 according to the sixth embodiment of the present application, except that in another embodiment of the present application, the extension portion 22 includes a first surface 222 and a second surface 223, the first surface 222 is opposite to the second surface 223 and is separated from the receiving space 24, and the second positioning portions 25 are spaced from the first surface 222 toward the second surface 223. The second positioning portion 25 is arranged in the direction perpendicular to the assembling direction, so that when the USB socket 10 is assembled in the groove 23, the waterproof effect of the electronic device 2 can be further improved. In the present embodiment, the first positioning portions 31 are illustrated as having a convex configuration, and the second positioning portions 25 are also illustrated as having a convex configuration. Of course, when the first positioning portion 31 can be a convex structure, the second positioning portion 25 can be a concave structure. Alternatively, the first positioning portions 31 may have a concave structure and the second positioning portions 25 may have a convex structure. Alternatively, when the second positioning portions 25 are spaced in the direction from the first surface 222 to the second surface 223, the first positioning portions 31 are also spaced in the direction from the first surface 222 to the second surface 223. This allows the USB socket 10 to be better fitted into the recess 23.

Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic view of a housing of a USB socket assembly according to an eighth embodiment of the present application. The structure of the USB socket assembly 1 provided in the eighth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the structure of the USB socket assembly 1 provided in the sixth embodiment of the present invention, except that in this embodiment, the second positioning portion 25 includes a plurality of first sub-positioning portions 250 arranged in parallel and at intervals, and a plurality of second sub-positioning portions 251 arranged in parallel and at intervals, the first sub-positioning portions 250 and the second sub-positioning portions 251 are staggered, and the adjacent first sub-positioning portions 250 and the second sub-positioning portions 251 form an included angle.

Alternatively, when the adjacent first sub-positioning portions 250 and the adjacent second sub-positioning portions 251 are disposed at an included angle, the first positioning portions 31 are also disposed at intervals from the side wall 231 to the bottom wall 230. In this way, since the adjacent first sub-positioning portions 250 on the side wall 231 and the bottom wall 230 are disposed at an included angle with the second sub-positioning portion 251, the distances between the adjacent first sub-positioning portions 250 and the second sub-positioning portions 251 are not equal. At this time, when the first sealing member 30 is assembled in the groove 23, since the distance between the adjacent first sub-positioning portions 250 and the second sub-positioning portions 251 in some regions is smaller, the first sealing member 30 will be in a larger compression state, so as to better fix and attach the groove 23, and further improve the waterproof performance of the electronic device 2.
