Diaphragm 140 can be the gas-permeable membrane for being couple to the first sieve 138a and extending across conduit region 128.For example, One or more clearance layers 142 can be used for for diaphragm 140 being adhered to the first sieve 138a opposite with outside port 126.Diaphragm 140 can be for example relatively thin, such as about 0.05mm to 0.15mm；However, other sizes are also possible, including it is more than 0.15mm Or it is less than 0.15mm.In this way, when air passes through diaphragm 140 (or diaphragm of the pressure to be applied in conduit region 128 When on 140), diaphragm 140 is flexible or otherwise deflectable.It is more than to refer to that first sieve 138a, which can prevent the bending of diaphragm 140, Fixed point.Second sieve 138b can perform similar function, as described below.

Diaphragm 140 can be the composite construction formed by interlocked fibers array.Interlocked fibers can be for example based on 140 top of diaphragm Fiber density or compactedness limit the porosity of diaphragm 140.Porosity can make air advance with limited or controlled way Across diaphragm 140.This helps to keep the pressure in shell 106 slowly balanced.In other cases, air can be substantially without hindrance Diaphragm 140 is passed through with hindering, to allow relatively rapid or near-instantaneous pressure balanced.

Diaphragm 140 can form waterproof seal or damp-proof layer at 128 both ends of conduit region.For example, diaphragm 140 can hinder, Slow down or prevents water, moisture and oil stream from entering to ventilate in aperture member 124 substantially.Specifically, the porosity of diaphragm 140 can be sufficiently low, So that under nominal pressure, water and other pollutants may be not easy across diaphragm 140.This helps to carry for electronic equipment 104 For water proofing property.It should be appreciated that the density or compactedness of interlocked fibers can be designated in any suitable manner, be such as suitble to control every The porosity of film 140 is such.To control, across the air-flow of diaphragm 140, (calibration diaphragm 140 is to travelling across ventilation aperture member for this The resistance of 124 air) and/or electronic equipment 104 needed for waterproof degree may be beneficial.

Second sieve 138b can be the perforated layer for extending across conduit region 128.Enter shell in response to such as air 106, when the second sieve 138b bendings in conduit region 128, it can be that diaphragm 140 provides physical support or support.In order to have Conducive to the above, one or more clearance layers 142 can be used to be couple to the second sieve 138b and the first sieve 138a phases To diaphragm 140.Therefore, it is more than specified point that the second sieve 138b, which can prevent the bending of diaphragm 140, is being pressed to limit diaphragm 140 Deformation under power prevents its rupture.

Therefore, the first sieve 138a and the second sieve 138b can coordinate, to increase the service life of diaphragm 140.For example, working as When ventilation aperture member 124 is used to control the inlet and outlet of air, diaphragm 140 can be along inlet and outlet conduit region 128 Iterative cycles between the bending in direction.Bending is restricted to certain specified amounts and (depends on the first sieve 138a and the second sieve The physical location of 138b) stress and strain on diaphragm 140 can be reduced over time.Therefore, the first sieve 138a and second Sieve 138b can reduce the deterioration of diaphragm 140, to increase pressure (fluid that be subjected to repeating, prolonged and/or excessive Stream) apply diaphragm 140 service life.

As shown in Figure 3A, the edge second sieve 138b positioning opposite with diaphragm 140 is reinforced sheet 136.The reinforced sheet 136 For the restrictions conduit region 128 for aperture member 124 of ventilating side wall and be configured as to aperture member 124 and the conduit region 128 of ventilating The selectable unit (SU) of specified altitude assignment is provided.For example, conduit region 128 may extend into specified amount in the inner chamber of shell 106 (for example, Internal structure depending on shell 106).This can be at least partly by outside port along the position of the outer surface of shell 106 It influences, because size, tolerance of ventilation aperture member 124 etc. can be changed based on position of the ventilation aperture member 124 in shell 106 Become.As described below, reinforced sheet 136 can also be used for diaphragm 140 and film 134 separating aequum, to be conducive to carry out using film 134 Air tightness test.Since reinforced sheet 136 is against shell 106, tangentially mobile and/or lateral movement is also prevented, although this is can Choosing.
