Abstract

A waterproof casing for packaging a circuit board having an antenna includes a housing, a waterproof gasket, and an end cover. The housing has an accommodation space and a side opening communicating with each other. The accommodation space is configured to accommodate the circuit board. The waterproof gasket includes a main body and an extending portion. The main body covers the side opening. The extending portion extends from the main body. The end cover abuts against a side of the main body away from the accommodation space, and is fixed to the housing to form a box with the housing. The box has a communication opening positioned corresponding to the antenna. The extending portion hermetically covers the communication opening.

Claims (26)

1. A waterproof casing for packaging a circuit board, the circuit board having an antenna, the waterproof casing comprising:

a housing having an accommodation space and a side opening communicating with each other, wherein the accommodation space is configured to accommodate the circuit board;

a waterproof gasket, comprising:

a main body covering the side opening; and

an extending portion extending from the main body; and

an end cover that abuts against a side of the main body away from the accommodation space and is fixed to the housing, wherein the end cover has a wire opening, the waterproof gasket further comprises a wire bushing passing through the wire opening;

wherein the end cover has a communication opening positioned corresponding to the antenna and separated from the wire opening, the communication opening is configured to allow the antenna to conduct wireless transmission through the communication opening, the extending portion of the waterproof gasket is located on the side of the main body away from the accommodation space, and the extending portion hermetically covers the communication opening.

2. The waterproof casing of claim 1 , wherein the extending portion of the waterproof gasket extends into the communication opening, and a peripheral edge of the extending portion hermetically abuts against an inner edge of the communication opening.

3. The waterproof casing of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof gasket further comprises a platform extending into the accommodation space through the side opening, and a peripheral edge of the platform hermetically abuts against an inner surface of the housing.

4. The waterproof casing of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof gasket further has a channel passing through the main body and the wire bushing.

5. The waterproof casing of claim 1 , wherein the waterproof gasket further comprises a protrusion disposed on a side of the main body facing towards the accommodation space, and the protrusion is configured to abut against the circuit board.

6. The waterproof casing of claim 1 , wherein the end cover comprises:

a covering portion abutting against the side of the main body away from the accommodation space; and

a fixing portion extending from an edge of the covering portion.

7. The waterproof casing of claim 1 , wherein the end cover has a plurality of first through holes, the waterproof gasket has a plurality of second through holes, and the end cover is fixed to the housing by a plurality of fixing members passing through the first through holes and the second through holes.

8. A waterproof casing for packaging a circuit board, the circuit board having an antenna, the waterproof casing comprising:

a housing having an accommodation space and a side opening communicating with each other, wherein the accommodation space is configured to accommodate the circuit board;

a waterproof gasket, comprising:

a main body covering the side opening; and

an extending portion extending from the main body; and

an end cover that abuts against a side of the main body away from the accommodation space and is fixed to the housing;

wherein the housing has a sidewall, the sidewall has an end surface at least partially surrounding the side opening, the sidewall is formed with a communication opening, the communication opening is positioned corresponding to the antenna and extends from an inner surface of the sidewall to an outer surface of the sidewall, and the extending portion of the waterproof gasket hermetically covers the communication opening.

9. The waterproof casing of claim 8 , wherein the extending portion of the waterproof gasket extends from an edge of the main body and hermetically covers the communication opening.

10. The waterproof casing of claim 8 , wherein the communication opening communicates with the side opening.

11. The waterproof casing of claim 8 , wherein the extending portion of the waterproof gasket has an inner ring structure that extends beyond an inner edge of the communication opening and hermetically abuts against the inner surface of the sidewall of the housing.

12. The waterproof casing of claim 8 , wherein the extending portion of the waterproof gasket has an outer ring structure that extends beyond an inner edge of the communication opening and hermetically abuts against the outer surface of the sidewall of the housing.
