Fig. 1 schematically shows the structure of an electronic device 10 of an embodiment. Referring to fig. 1, in the embodiment of the present application, an electronic device 10 is illustrated as a handheld device having a wireless communication function. The handheld device of the wireless communication function may be a mobile phone, for example.

Fig. 2 schematically illustrates a partially exploded structure of the electronic device 10 of an embodiment. Fig. 3 schematically shows a back structure of the electronic device 10 of the present application. Fig. 4 schematically shows a partially cut-away structure of the electronic device 10 of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 4, the electronic device 10 of the embodiment of the present application includes a display assembly 20, a middle frame 30, a housing 40, a main board 50 and a battery 70. The display assembly 20 may be mounted on the middle frame 30 with a display area of the display assembly 20 exposed to facilitate presentation of image information to a user. The main board 50 and the battery 70 are disposed within the electronic device 10 and inside the housing 40 and the display assembly 20, so that the main board 50 and the battery 70 are not easily observed by a user outside the electronic device 10. The main board 50 is provided with a plurality of types of electronic components 60. The motherboard 50 may be a printed circuit board (Printed Circuit Board, PCB). The electronic component 60 may be soldered to the motherboard 50 by a soldering process. The electronic components 60 include, but are not limited to, a processor, an antenna module, a bluetooth module, a WiFi module, a GPS module, a power supply and charging module, a screen display and operation module, a distance sensor, a light sensor, an earphone interface, and the like. Because the internal space of the electronic device 10 is relatively small, the electronic component 60 is integrated on the motherboard 50, so as to fully reduce the volume of the motherboard 50 and reduce the space occupation rate of the motherboard 50. For example, to meet the design requirements of the internal space of the electronic device 10, the motherboard 50 may also be of a split design. Different electronic components 60 are provided on the split motherboard 50 to achieve the corresponding functions.

The battery 70 is used to provide power to the electronic device 10 to ensure proper operation of the electronic device 10. For example, the battery 70 may provide power to the display assembly 20 to cause the display assembly 20 to display image information or complete corresponding operation instructions, or the battery 70 may provide power to the motherboard 50 to ensure proper operation of the electronic components 60 on the motherboard 50. The battery 70 may be a lithium ion battery 70, such as a lithium iron phosphate battery. The battery 70 is a structural member that can convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

The battery 70 is disposed inside the housing 40. The housing 40 may provide protection for the battery 70, reducing the likelihood of structural damage or fire explosion of the battery 70 from external objects striking or puncturing the battery 70. A portion of the heat generated by the battery 70 during the supply of power may be conducted and dissipated to the outside of the electronic device 10 through the housing 40.

As one of the products with a high daily use frequency, the electronic device 10 is increasingly required to be light and thin or small by the user. The slim or miniaturized electronic device 10 can effectively reduce the fatigue and the carrying difficulty of the user using the electronic device 10. Meanwhile, there is a greater demand for the functions of the electronic device 10 by users, for example, the electronic device 10 may include functional devices so that the electronic device 10 may implement various functions. Taking the functional device as an example of the camera module 80 for photographing, in order to obtain better imaging quality, the size of the camera module 80 needs to be designed to be larger so as to set an optical lens group or an optical sensor with better performance. However, the larger size of the camera module 80 may limit the thickness of the electronic device 10.

The camera decoration for shielding or covering the camera module 80 is arranged on the shell 40 of the electronic device 10, so that the appearance aesthetic degree of the electronic device 10 is considered while the camera module 80 is used for realizing corresponding functions, and the thickness of the part outside the camera module 80 can be designed to be smaller, so that the light weight and the miniaturization of the electronic device 10 are realized. The electronic device 10 also includes a camera trim 90. The camera trim 90 is provided to the housing 40 and may be connected to the housing 40. A portion of the camera trim 90 may be raised above the outer surface of the housing 40, so that the overall thickness of the area of the electronic device 10 where the camera trim 90 is disposed is relatively large. The outer surface of the housing 40 refers to the surface facing the external environment. The exterior surface of the housing 40 may be observed or otherwise contacted by a user while using the electronic device 10.

The housing 40 has a predetermined thickness. The outer shell 40 may be coupled to the middle frame 30, for example, the outer shell 40 may be coupled to the middle frame 30 by fasteners or adhesives. Four edges of the outer shell 40 may be connected to the middle frame 30. The housing 40 is provided with a through hole 40a. The through hole 40a is used to avoid the imaging module 80. The through-hole 40a may be manufactured on the housing 40 by punching, cutting or drilling. The shape of the through hole 40a may be, but is not limited to, rectangular, circular, elliptical, or polygonal with a number of sides greater than 4. The housing 40 has an outer surface 40b and an inner surface 40c. The outer surface 40b is disposed opposite the inner surface 40c in the thickness direction Z of the housing 40. Illustratively, the thickness direction Z of the housing 40 may refer to a direction of thickness Z of the housing 40 perpendicular to a horizontal surface when the electronic device 10 is placed on the horizontal surface and the housing 40 is in contact with the horizontal surface. The outer surface 40b of the housing 40 is a surface that is located outside the electronic device 10 and can be observed from the outside of the electronic device 10. The inner surface 40c of the housing 40 is a surface that is located within the electronic device 10 and is not readily visible from the exterior of the electronic device 10. The through-hole 40a penetrates the outer surface 40b and the inner surface 40c of the housing 40 in the thickness direction Z of the housing 40. The thickness direction Z of the housing 40 is the same as the axial direction of the through hole 40a. The number of the through holes 40a may be one. The housing 40 may be a unitary structure formed from sheet metal by stamping. Alternatively, the housing 40 may be a structural member comprising two materials, such as a layer of glass disposed on a sheet of metal. The housing 40 may serve as a back shell for the electronic device 10.

Fig. 5 schematically shows a partially cut-away structure of the electronic device 10 of the present application. Fig. 6 schematically shows an enlarged structure at P in fig. 5. Referring to fig. 2, 5 and 6, a camera trim 90 is provided to the housing 40. The camera trim 90 is provided corresponding to the through hole 40a of the housing 40. The camera trim 90 includes an outer trim 91 and an inner trim 92. The outer trim 91 is stacked with the inner trim 92 in the thickness direction Z of the housing 40. The inner trim 92 is located on the side of the outer trim 91 facing the through-hole 40 a. The inner decoration 92 may be disposed between the outer decoration 91 and the middle frame 30.

The first connecting portion 911 of the outer trim 91 is located on a side of the housing 40 facing away from the inner surface 40 c. The first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 is connected to the housing 40. The outer finishing member 91 may be mounted to a side of the outer case 40 facing away from the center frame 30 through the first connecting portion 911. When the outer garnish 91 is assembled with the housing 40, the outer garnish 91 needs to be connected to the housing 40 from the outside of the housing 40.

The electronic device 10 further comprises a first seal 100. The first seal 100 is provided between the first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 and the housing 40. The first seal 100 is disposed on a side of the housing 40 facing away from the inner surface 40 c. The first seal 100 is mounted to the side of the housing 40 facing away from the center 30. The surface of the first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 facing the housing 40 may be in abutting contact with the first seal member 100, and the surface of the housing 40 facing the first connection portion 911 may be in abutting contact with the first seal member 100, so that when the exterior trim 91 is connected with the housing 40, the first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 and the housing 40 may respectively press against the first seal member 100 at both sides of the first seal member 100. The first seal 100 is located outside the through hole 40a of the housing 40. The orthographic projection of the first seal 100 may be located outside the orthographic projection of the through hole 40a in the thickness direction Z of the case 40. The first sealing member 100, the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 may form a sealing area, so that the first sealing member 100 may seal a gap formed between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40, thereby improving waterproof performance of the electronic device 10, and reducing a possibility that external water enters the electronic device 10 from the gap between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 to cause a failure of the main board 50, the electronic component 60 or the battery 70.

The first seal 100 may have flexibility so that elastic deformation may be achieved. The outer garnish 91 and the housing 40 are rigid members. The first sealing member 100 may separate the first connection portion 911 from the housing 40, reducing the possibility of scratches occurring between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 due to rigid contact between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40.

In some implementations, the first seal 100 may be a ring-shaped structure. For example, the first seal 100 may be, but is not limited to being, annular or rectangular. The first seal 100 is disposed around the through hole 40a of the housing 40.

The electronic device 10 further comprises a second seal 200. The second seal 200 is provided between the first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 and the housing 40. The second seal 200 is disposed on a side of the housing 40 facing away from the inner surface 40 c. The second seal 200 is mounted to the side of the housing 40 facing away from the center 30. The first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 may be in abutting contact with the second seal member 200, and a surface of the housing 40 facing the first connection portion 911 may be in abutting contact with the second seal member 200, so that when the exterior trim 91 is connected with the housing 40, the first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 and the housing 40 may respectively press against the second seal member 200 at both sides of the second seal member 200. The second seal 200 is located outside the through hole 40a of the housing 40. The first sealing member 100, the second sealing member 200, the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 may form a sealing region, so that the first sealing member 100 and the second sealing member 200 may close a gap formed between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40, further reducing the possibility of external water entering the electronic device 10 from between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 to cause a malfunction of the main board 50, the electronic component 60 or the battery 70.

The first seal 100 is disposed around the second seal 200. The orthographic projection of the second seal 200 is located inside the orthographic projection of the first seal 100 in the thickness direction Z of the housing 40. The first sealing member 100 and the second sealing member 200 may form a double sealing area, effectively improving the sealing effect between the exterior decoration 91 and the housing 40, and improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 10.

The second seal 200 may have flexibility so that elastic deformation may be achieved. The outer garnish 91 and the housing 40 are rigid members. The first sealing member 100 and the second sealing member 200 may jointly separate the first connection portion 911 from the housing 40, reducing the possibility of scratches occurring between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 due to rigid contact between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40.

In some implementations, the second seal 200 may be a ring-shaped structure. For example, the second seal 200 may be, but is not limited to being, annular or rectangular. The second seal 200 is disposed around the through hole 40a of the housing 40.

In the electronic device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the camera decoration 90 capable of shielding the camera module 80 is disposed on the housing 40, so as to improve the overall aesthetic degree of the electronic device 10. The camera trim 90 includes an outer trim 91 and an inner trim 92 that are stacked on each other. The outer garnish 91 is connected to the housing 40. A first seal 100 and a second seal 200 are provided between the first connection portion 911 of the exterior trim 91 and the housing 40. The first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 are respectively brought into contact with the first seal 100 from both sides of the first seal 100, and the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 are respectively brought into contact with the second seal 200 from both sides of the second seal 200. After the first sealing member 100, the second sealing member 200, the external decoration member 91 and the housing 40 are assembled, the first sealing member 100 and the second sealing member 200 can be used for sealing a gap between the first connecting portion 911 and the housing 40 so as to block a liquid inlet path between the first connecting portion 911 and the housing 40, so that water outside the electronic device 10 is not easy to enter an inner space of the electronic device 10 through the gap between the first connecting portion 911 and the housing 40 and then enter the inner space of the electronic device 40 through the through hole 40a of the housing 40, the possibility of failure of internal components of the electronic device 10 caused by water inlet inside the electronic device 10 is effectively reduced, the waterproof performance of the electronic device 10 is improved, and the electronic device 10 after water is met can be used normally.

In some possible manners, a space may be provided between the first seal 100 and the second seal 200 along the radial direction of the through hole 40a of the housing 40, so that the first seal 100 and the second seal 200 do not contact each other, reducing the possibility that the first seal 100 and the second seal 200 have a positional interference to adversely affect the assembly process of the exterior trim 91 and the housing 40. The radial direction of the through-hole 40a is perpendicular to the axial direction of the through-hole 40 a.

In some implementations, the thickness of the first seal 100 is less than the thickness of the second seal 200 along the thickness direction Z of the housing 40. The surface of the first seal 100 facing the housing 40 may be flush with the surface of the second seal 200 facing the housing 40. The surface of the second seal 200 facing away from the housing 40 is higher than the surface of the first seal 100 facing away from the housing 40.

In some examples, the outer trim piece 91 further includes a receiving recess 91b. The accommodating recess 91b is provided in the first connection portion 911. The accommodation recess 91b is provided corresponding to the second seal 200. The accommodation recess 91b has an opening facing the housing 40. A part of the second seal 200 is located in the accommodation recess 91b. The inner wall of the accommodating recess 91b is in contact with the second seal member 200, thereby increasing the contact area of the first connecting portion 911 and the second seal member 200, which is advantageous for improving the sealing effect. The receiving recess 91b may also form a limit for the second seal member 200, which is advantageous in ensuring that the second seal member 200 is in a predetermined mounting position.

Illustratively, the accommodating recess 91b is of annular configuration. The second seal 200 is of annular configuration.

In some implementations, the first seal 100 may be a sealant. The first seal 100 adheres the first connection portion 911 to the housing 40. The outer decoration 91 is adhered to the housing 40 by the first sealing member 100, so that on one hand, good connection reliability between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 and the first sealing member 100 can be ensured, and stability of a sealing state can be improved; on the other hand, no additional connecting member, such as a screw, is required between the first connecting portion 911 and the housing 40, which is beneficial to reducing the assembling difficulty and the processing difficulty of the first connecting portion 911 and the housing 40. The first seal member 100 has elasticity so that the first seal member 100 can prevent the first connection portion 911 from coming into rigid contact with the housing 40 during the connection of the exterior finishing member 91 with the housing 40.

When the exterior trim 91 is assembled with the housing 40, a sealant having fluidity may be previously applied to the first connection portion 911 or the housing 40. The outer trim 91 is then assembled in alignment with the housing 40 such that the first connection 911 and the housing 40 are both bonded with the sealant. After the sealant is cured, the first seal 100 is formed.

The second seal 200 may be a sealant. The second seal member 200 adheres the first connection portion 911 to the housing 40. The first connection portion 911 and the case 40 have good connection reliability with the second seal 200, respectively, and stability of the sealed state is improved. The second seal member 200 has elasticity so that the first seal member 100 and the second seal member 200 can prevent the first connection portion 911 from coming into rigid contact with the housing 40 during the connection of the exterior trim 91 with the housing 40.

When the exterior trim 91 is assembled with the housing 40, a sealant having fluidity may be previously applied to the first connection portion 911 or the housing 40. The outer trim 91 is then assembled in alignment with the housing 40 such that the first connection 911 and the housing 40 are both bonded with the sealant. After the sealant is cured, the second seal 200 is formed.

The first sealing member 100 may be used to support the first connection portion 911 of the outer decoration 91, so that the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40 are not easy to excessively squeeze the sealant for forming the second sealing member 200 disposed therebetween, and the thickness of the second sealing member 200 formed by the sealant for forming the second sealing member 200 is reduced due to the excessive squeezing, thereby causing the possibility of adhesive failure and sealing failure.

The first seal 100 and the second seal 200 may each be a sealant. The first and

second sealing members

100 and 200 bond the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40, thereby facilitating the improvement of the connection stability and reliability between the exterior trim 91 and the housing 40, and simultaneously further improving the sealing effect between the first connection portion 911 and the housing 40. When the outer garnish 91 is assembled with the housing 40, a sealant having fluidity may be previously applied to different areas on the first connection portion 911 or the housing 40, respectively. The outer trim 91 is then assembled in alignment with the housing 40 such that the first connection 911 and the housing 40 are both bonded with the sealant.

Fig. 7 schematically shows a partially cut-away structure of the electronic device 10 of the present application. Fig. 8 schematically shows an enlarged structure at T in fig. 7. Referring to fig. 7 and 8, the electronic device 10 further includes a third seal 300. The third seal 300 is provided between the second connection portion 921 of the inner trim 92 and the housing 40. The third seal 300 is disposed on a side of the housing 40 facing away from the outer surface 40 b. The surface of the second connection portion 921 facing the housing 40 may be in abutting contact with the third seal member 300, and the surface of the housing 40 facing the second connection portion 921 may be in abutting contact with the third seal member 300, so that when the inner decoration 92 is connected with the housing 40, the second connection portion 921 of the inner decoration 92 and the housing 40 may respectively press against the third seal member 300 at both sides of the third seal member 300. The third seal 300 is located outside the through hole 40a of the housing 40. The third sealing member 300, the second connection portion 921 and the housing 40 may form a sealing region, so that the third sealing member 300 may close a gap formed between the second connection portion 921 and the housing 40, improve waterproof performance of the electronic device 10, reduce possibility of external water passing through the external decoration 91 and the housing 40, and then enter the electronic device 10 through the gap between the second connection portion 921 and the housing 40, thereby causing malfunction of the main board 50, the electronic element 60 or the battery 70.

The third seal 300 may have flexibility so that elastic deformation may be achieved. The inner trim 92 and the outer shell 40 are rigid members. The third sealing member 300 may separate the second connection portion 921 from the housing 40, reducing the possibility of the second connection portion 921 coming into direct rigid contact with the housing 40, resulting in a scratch of the second connection portion 921 with the housing 40.

In some implementations, the third seal 300 may be a ring-shaped structure. For example, the third seal 300 may be, but is not limited to being, annular or rectangular. The third seal 300 is disposed around the through hole 40a of the housing 40.

The first seal 100 and the second seal 200 effectively ensure that a seal is achieved between the outer trim 91 and the housing 40, and the third seal 300 effectively ensures that a seal is achieved between the inner trim 92 and the housing 40. Therefore, the first sealing member 100, the second sealing member 200 and the third sealing member 300 can effectively ensure the sealing effect between the assembled camera trim 90 and the housing 40, which is beneficial to further improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 10.

Along the thickness direction Z of the housing 40, at least part of the orthographic projection of the second seal 200 is located within the orthographic projection of the third seal 300. In some examples, the orthographic projection of the second seal 200 is entirely within the orthographic projection of the third seal 300.

In some implementations, the third seal 300 may be a sealant. The third sealing member 300 bonds the second connecting portion 921 of the inner decoration 92 with the housing 40. The inner decoration 92 is adhered to the housing 40 by the third sealing member 300, so that on one hand, good connection reliability between the second connection portion 921 and each of the housing 40 and the third sealing member 300 can be ensured, and stability of the sealing state can be improved; on the other hand, no additional connecting member, such as a screw, is required between the second connecting portion 921 and the housing 40, which is beneficial to reducing the assembling difficulty and the processing difficulty of the second connecting portion 921 and the housing 40. The third sealing member 300 has elasticity so that the third sealing member 300 can prevent the second connection portion 921 from coming into rigid contact with the housing 40 during the connection of the inner decoration 92 with the housing 40.

In some examples, the second connection 921 of the inner decoration 92 is bonded to the inner surface 40c of the housing 40 by a third seal 300.

When the inner garnish 92 is assembled with the housing 40, a flowable sealant may be applied to the second connecting portion 921 or the housing 40 in advance. The inner trim 92 is then assembled in alignment with the housing 40 such that the second attachment portion 921 and the housing 40 are both bonded with the sealant. After the sealant is cured, a third seal 300 is formed.

The interior trim 92 can also include a boss 922. The convex portion 922 is connected to the second connecting portion 921. The protruding portion 922 is inserted into the through hole 40 a. At least a portion of the protrusion 922 is located within the through hole 40 a. The convex portion 922 of the inner garnish 92 is connected to the outer garnish 91 so that the inner garnish 92 and the outer garnish 91 are assembled to form a unitary structure. A part of the housing 40 is positioned between the first connection portion 911 of the outer decoration 91 and the second connection portion 921 of the inner decoration 92, ensuring a reliable and stable connection state of the outer decoration 91, the housing 40, and the inner decoration 92. Illustratively, the portion of the outer garnish 91 corresponding to the through-hole 40a is connected to the protrusion 922 of the inner garnish 92.

The convex portion 922 of the present embodiment may be a cylindrical structure. The second connection portion 921 may be connected to an end of the protrusion 922 away from the outer decoration 91. The convex portion 922 projects toward the outer garnish 91 with respect to the second connecting portion 921. A space is provided between the top surface of the protrusion 922 facing the exterior trim 91 and the surface of the second connection portion 921 facing the exterior trim 91, so that a stepped structure is formed between the protrusion 922 and the second connection portion 921. The protrusion 922 may be integrally formed with the second connecting portion 921, which is advantageous in improving the mechanical strength of the interior trim 92 as a whole.

The protrusion 922 and the inner wall of the through hole 40a in the present embodiment have a gap therebetween, so that the protrusion 922 of the inner decoration 92 and the through hole 40a are easy to be inserted, and the protrusion 922 is pressed into the through hole 40a without applying additional pressure to the inner decoration 92, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the inner decoration 92 due to extrusion.

In some examples, an end of the protrusion 922 that is proximate to the outer trim 91 may be connected to the outer trim 91.

In some examples, the protrusion 922 of the inner trim 92 is entirely located within the through hole 40 a. Alternatively, the convex portion 922 of the inner garnish 92 may pass through the through-hole 40a and protrude beyond the through-hole 40a to approach the opening of the outer garnish 91.

The fourth seal 400 is provided on the side of the outer garnish 91 facing the through-hole 40 a. The outer trim 91 may be in abutting contact with the fourth seal 400, and the surface of the protrusion 922 facing the outer trim 91 may be in abutting contact with the fourth seal 400, so that when the outer trim 91 is connected with the inner trim 92, the outer trim 91 and the inner trim 92 may respectively abut against the fourth seal 400 at both sides of the fourth seal 400.

The fourth sealing member 400, the outer decoration 91 and the inner decoration 92 may form a sealing area, so that the fourth sealing member 400 may close a gap formed between the outer decoration 91 and the inner decoration 92, improve the waterproof performance of the electronic device 10, reduce the possibility that external water passes through the outer decoration 91 and the housing 40, and then enter the electronic device 10 through the gap between the outer decoration 91 and the inner decoration 92, thereby causing a malfunction of the main board 50, the electronic component 60 or the battery 70.

The fourth seal 400 may have flexibility so that elastic deformation may be achieved. The outer trim 91 and the inner trim 92 are rigid members. The fourth seal 400 may separate the outer trim 91 and the inner trim 92, reducing the likelihood of scoring the outer trim 91 and the inner trim 92 due to rigid contact between the outer trim 91 and the inner trim 92 directly.

In some implementations, the outer trim piece 91 includes a first relief hole 91a. The inner trim 92 includes a second escape aperture 92a. The first escape hole 91a is provided corresponding to the second escape hole 92a. The first avoidance hole 91a and the second avoidance hole 92a may be used to avoid the image capturing module 80 or to transmit light. The fourth seal 400 may be of annular configuration. For example, the fourth seal 400 may be, but is not limited to being, annular or rectangular. The fourth seal 400 is disposed around the second escape aperture 92a of the inner trim 92. The fourth sealing member 400 forms a seal around the second escape hole 92a, reducing the possibility that external water enters the electronic device 10 through the second escape hole 92a after passing through the gap between the outer trim 91 and the inner trim 92.

Therefore, the first sealing member 100, the second sealing member 200 and the third sealing member 300 can effectively ensure the sealing effect between the assembled camera trim 90 and the housing 40, and the fourth sealing member 400 can effectively ensure the sealing effect between the assembled outer trim 91 and the assembled inner trim 92, so that the first sealing member 100, the second sealing member 200, the third sealing member 300 and the fourth sealing member 400 effectively block the liquid inlet path at different positions, which is beneficial to further improving the waterproof performance of the electronic device 10.

In some examples, the fourth seal 400 is disposed between a top surface of the protrusion 922 facing the outer trim 91 and a surface of the outer trim 91 facing the through hole 40a. The outer trim 91 and the convex portion 922 respectively press the fourth seal 400 from both sides of the fourth seal 400 in the thickness direction Z of the housing 40. For example, referring to fig. 10, the outer decorative member 91 may have a groove. The bottom wall of the recess and the opening of the recess face the through-hole 40a. The fourth seal 400 is provided between the top surface of the convex portion 922 facing the exterior trim 91 and the bottom wall of the groove facing the through hole 40a.

In some implementations, the fourth seal 400 may be a sealant. The fourth seal 400 adheres the convex portion 922 of the inner garnish 92 to the outer garnish 91. The inner decoration 92 is adhered to the outer decoration 91 by the fourth sealing member 400, so that good connection reliability between the inner decoration 92 and the outer decoration 91 and the fourth sealing member 400 can be ensured, and stability of the sealing state can be improved. The fourth seal 400 has elasticity so that the fourth seal 400 can prevent the inner trim 92 and the outer trim 91 from making rigid contact during the coupling of the inner trim 92 with the housing 40.

When the inner garnish 92 and the outer garnish 91 are assembled, a flowable sealant may be applied to the convex portion 922 of the inner garnish 92 or the outer garnish 91 in advance. The inner and outer

decorative pieces

92 and 91 are then assembled in alignment so that the inner and outer

decorative pieces
