Description
- This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) of a Korean Patent Application No. 10-2009-0069028, filed on Jul. 28, 2009, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
- 1. Field
- The following description relates to an electronic device, and more particularly, to an electronic device with a water and dust proof structure which can be safely used in wet and dusty environments.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Portable electronic devices such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), MP3 players, and laptops are designed to be easily used during travel. Accordingly, the portable electronic devices are more likely to be exposed to wet and dusty environments. If moisture or dust is introduced inside the electronic device, this may cause damage to an internal electronic circuitry, resulting in malfunction of the device.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a general water and dust proof structure employed to an electronic device. Referring toFIG. 1 , the water and dust proof structure includes afront cover 11, aback cover 12, agasket 13, and a groove 11A. The groove 11A is formed on thefront cover 11 along the surface of thefront cover 11 which is coupled with theback cover 12. Thegasket 13, which is made of rubber, is inserted into the groove 11A. When thefront cover 11 and theback cover 12 are connected with each other while thegasket 13 is inserted in the groove 11A, thegasket 13 is compressed and deformed, thereby tightly sealing the space between thefront cover 11 and theback cover 12. - In the above structure, an operator should insert the
gasket 13 into the groove 11A on thefront cover 11 manually with precision, which is difficult and takes a significant amount of time to assemble. In addition, an assembly error may occur due to the tolerances of thegasket 13 and the groove 11A. As the result, a failure of precise insertion of thegasket 13 into the groove 11A may occur, or thegasket 13 is inserted while twisted into the groove 11A, thereby impairing water and dust proof capability. - Furthermore, since the
gasket 13 has a circular-shaped sectional surface, thegasket 13 may be in contact with only one surface 12A of theback cover 12 while it seals the space between thefront cover 11 and theback cover 12. Thus, there may be a limitation in enhancing the water and dust proof performance. A rectangular shaped gasket may also bring about the same result. Accordingly, the water and dust proof structure described above may cause an increase of manufacturing time and a need of further after-sales services, and degradation of reliability of the electronic device. - In one general aspect, provided is an electronic device with a water and dust proof structure, comprising: a first cover; a second cover configured to: be coupled with the first cover; and house electronic circuitry in a space between the first cover and the second cover; a first gasket formed to: be integral with the first cover; and have a receiving groove on a surface facing the second cover; and a second gasket formed to: be integral with the second cover; and have a first projection portion on a surface facing the first cover, wherein the first projection portion protrudes to have a height greater than a depth of the receiving groove when the first cover and the second cover are separate and the first projection portion is compressed and deformed to be in contact with a plurality of surfaces inside the receiving groove when the first cover and the second cover are coupled with each other.
- In another general aspect, provided is an electronic device with a water and dust proof structure, comprising: a first cover configured to have a positioning rib that protrudes from a surface coupled with a second cover and is located in an inner region of the surface; the second cover configured to: be coupled with the first cover; and house electronic circuitry in a space between the first cover and the second cover; a first gasket formed to: be integral with the first cover and stretched over an outer surface of the positioning rib and an outer region of a coupling surface of the first cover; and have a receiving groove formed on a surface facing the second cover; and a second gasket formed to: be integral with the second cover and located at an outer region of a coupling surface of the second cover such that a protruding portion of the positioning rib can be in contact with the coupling surface of the second cover when the first cover and the second cover are coupled with each other; and have a first projection portion on a surface facing the first cover, wherein the first projection portion protrudes to have a height greater than a depth of the receiving groove when the first cover and the second cover are separate and the first projection portion is compressed and deformed to be in contact with a plurality surfaces inside the receiving groove when the first cover and the second cover are coupled with each other.
- In yet another general aspect, provided is an electronic device with a water and dust proof structure, comprising: a first cover; a second cover configured to: be coupled with the first cover; and house electronic circuitry in a space between the first cover and the second cover; a first gasket formed to: be integral with the first cover and at least partially enclose an exterior surface of the first cover including a coupling portion of the first cover; and have a receiving groove on a surface close to the coupling portion of the first cover; and a second gasket formed to: be integral with the second cover and at least partially enclose an exterior surface of the second cover including a coupling portion of the second cover; and have a first projection portion on a surface facing the first gasket, wherein the first projection portion protrudes to have a height greater than a depth of the receiving groove when the first cover and the second cover are separate and the first projection portion is compressed and deformed to be in contact with a plurality surfaces inside the receiving groove when the first cover and the second cover are coupled with each other.
- Accordingly, the first gasket and the second gasket are formed to be integral with the first cover and the second cover, respectively. Thus, unlike the conventional art, a procedure of inserting the gasket into a groove of a cover can be omitted. Therefore, an operator can assemble the first cover and the second cover easily and quickly.
- In addition, the first gasket and the second gasket are in contact on a plurality of surfaces, thereby increasing sealing tightness between the first cover and the second cover. Thus, the water and dust proof performance for the electronic device can be improved.

FIG. 2 illustrates a perspective view of an example of an electronic device with a water and dust proof structure according to the present invention.FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III ofFIG. 2 .FIG. 4 illustrates a partial view of the electronic device ofFIG. 3 when a first cover and a second cover are separate from each other.FIG. 5 illustrates a partial view of the electronic device ofFIG. 3 when the first cover and the second cover are coupled with each other. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 to 5 , theelectronic device 100 with a water and dust proof structure may include afirst cover 110, asecond cover 120, afirst gasket 130, and asecond gasket 140. - The
first cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 form an exterior of theelectronic device 100, and protect an electronic circuitry inside theelectronic device 100. Thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are coupled together by facing a concave portion of thefirst cover 110 and a concave portion of thesecond cover 120, and thereby form a space between the concave portions. The space between thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 houses the electronic circuitry. Thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 may be manufactured by injection molding with plastic material. Although thefirst cover 110 has a display and buttons disposed thereon in the example ofFIG. 2 , thesecond cover 120 may have the display and the buttons. - The
first gasket 130 may be formed integrally with thefirst cover 110. Thefirst gasket 130 has a receivinggroove 131 on its surface that faces thesecond cover 120. Thesecond gasket 140 may be formed integrally with thesecond cover 120. Thesecond gasket 140 has afirst projection portion 141 on its surface that faces thefirst cover 110. - The
first projection portion 141 may be formed to protrude toward thereceiving groove 131 and have a length H2 that is greater than a depth H1 of the receivinggroove 131 when thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are separate from each other. In addition, thefirst projection portion 141 may be compressed and deformed inside the receivinggroove 131 when thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are coupled together, and thus may be able to be in contact with a plurality of surfaces of thereceiving groove 131. Therefore, thefirst projection portion 141 is capable of sealing the space between thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 in association with thereceiving groove 131. - For example, the receiving
groove 131 may be formed to have a rectangular sectional surface, and thefirst projection portion 141 may be formed to have a triangular sectional surface. If thefirst projection portion 141 is formed to have a triangular sectional surface, the receivinggroove 131 may be configured to have both side inner-surfaces inclined at the same angle as both tilted surfaces of thefirst projection portion 141. Accordingly, thefirst projection portion 141 is in contact with three surfaces a, b, and c of the receivinggroove 131, thereby sealing the space between thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 when thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are coupled with each other. Thefirst projection portion 141 may be formed to have a semicircular sectional surface. - As described above, since the
first projection portion 141 is in contact with the plurality of surfaces of the receivinggroove 131 and seals the space between thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 when thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are coupled with each other, tighter sealing can be achieved compared to when the projection portion is in contact with only one surface of the receiving groove. Thus, the water and dust proof performance for theelectronic device 100 can be enhanced. - Because the
first gasket 130 is formed integrally with thefirst cover 110 and thesecond gasket 140 is formed integrally with thesecond cover 120, a procedure of inserting the gasket into a groove of a cover can be omitted. Therefore, an operator can assemble thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 easily and quickly. - The
first gasket 130 may further include asecond projection portion 132. Thesecond projection portion 132 may be positioned further out than the receivinggroove 131, protruding from the surface of thefirst gasket 130 facing thesecond cover 120. Thesecond projection portion 132 is compressed and deformed to be in contact with thesecond gasket 140 at a portion denoted by “d” inFIG. 5 when thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are coupled with each other. As the result, thefirst gasket 130 and thesecond gasket 140 comes in contact on four surfaces instead of three, and thus the water and dust proof performance can be improved. Thesecond projection portion 132 may be formed to have a triangular or semicircular sectional surface. - To maximize a contact area between the
second projection portion 132 and thesecond gasket 140, thesecond projection portion 132 may be formed to closely contact thefirst projection portion 141 when thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are coupled with each other. Thesecond projection portion 132 may be formed to have a smaller sectional surface than thefirst projection portion 141. If the sectional surface of thesecond projection portion 132 is equal to or larger than the sectional surface of thefirst projection portion 141, an external gap between the deformedsecond projection portion 132 and thesecond gasket 140 may be generated and dust may be stuck to the external gap, making theelectronic device 100 dirty. - The
first cover 110 may further include apositioning rib 111. Thepositioning rib 111 may be located inner than thefirst gasket 130, extending from the surface coupled with thesecond cover 120. As the height of thepositioning rib 111 increases, the compression force of thefirst projection portion 141 is reduced, and in contrast, as the height of thepositioning rib 111 decreases, the compression force of thefirst projection portion 141 is increased. That is, the compression force of thefirst projection portion 141 can be controlled according to the height of thepositioning rib 111. - The
first gasket 130 may be formed over an outer surface of thepositioning rib 111 and the surface of thefirst cover 110 that faces thesecond cover 120 so as to be closely fixed to thefirst cover 110. Thesecond gasket 140 may be formed on an outer region of the surface of thesecond cover 120 that faces thefirst cover 110 such that a protruding portion of thepositioning rib 111 can touch the surface of thesecond cover 120. Here, thesecond gasket 140 may be formed to be in close contact with an outer surface of thepositioning rib 111 when thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 are coupled with each other. - The
first gasket 130 and thesecond gasket 140 may be formed to be integral respectively with thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 by multi-component injection molding. The multi-component injection molding is a composite molding using two types of materials having different properties or different colors. In the example, thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 may be made of plastic materials by injection molding, and then thefirst gasket 130 and thesecond gasket 140 may be formed of rubber materials or polyurethane materials respectively on the formedfirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120 by injection molding. Consequently, the respectivefirst gasket 130 andsecond gasket 140 can be formed integrally with thefirst cover 110 and thesecond cover 120. -
FIG. 6 illustrates a front view of an example of an electronic device with a water and dust proof structure according to the present invention.FIG. 7 illustrates a cross-sectional view taken along the line VII-VII ofFIG. 6 . - Referring to
FIGS. 6 and 7 , theelectronic device 200 may include afirst cover 210 and asecond cover 220. Thefirst cover 210 and thesecond cover 220 may form an exterior of theelectronic device 200 and protect an electronic circuitry inside theelectronic device 200. - A
first gasket 230 may at least partially enclose an exterior surface of thefirst cover 210, and a receivinggroove 231 may be formed near a coupling portion of thefirst cover 210. The receivinggroove 231 may be formed on a surface of thefirst gasket 230 that faces thesecond cover 220. In addition, thefirst gasket 230 may further include asecond projection portion 232 positioned further out than the receivinggroove 231 on the surface facing thesecond cover 220. The receivinggroove 231 and thesecond projection portion 232 may be configured to be the same as the receivinggroove 131 and thesecond projection portion 132 described with reference toFIGS. 4 and 5 . - The
second gasket 240 may at least partially enclose an exterior surface of thesecond cover 220, and afirst projection portion 241 may be formed near a coupling portion of thesecond cover 220. Here, thefirst projection portion 241 may extend toward the receivinggroove 231 from a surface of thesecond gasket 240 that faces toward thefirst cover 210. Thefirst projection portion 241 may be formed the same as thefirst projection portion 141 described above. - In the example, the
first projection portion 241 contacts a plurality of surfaces inside the receivinggroove 231 and thesecond projection portion 232 is in contact with thesecond gasket 240 while thefirst cover 210 and thesecond cover 220 are coupled with each other, so that a space between thefirst cover 210 and thesecond cover 220 can be sealed. Therefore, the water and dust proof performance for theelectronic device 200 can be improved, compared to when thefirst gasket 230 and thesecond gasket 240 are in contact by only one surface. - A number of examples have been described above. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made. For example, suitable results may be achieved if the described techniques are performed in a different order and/or if components in a described system, architecture, device, or circuit are combined in a different manner and/or replaced or supplemented by other components or their equivalents. Accordingly, other implementations are within the scope of the following claims.
