Abstract

A sealing assembly for electronic components including a sealing seat and a sealing shell for mounting the electronic component. The sealing shell is received through an opening in the top of the sealing seat and into complementary mounting chamber. A left end of the sealing shell includes a first connection channel; a left end of the mounting chamber includes a second connection channel and a sealing gasket surrounding the second connection channel. A right end of the mounting chamber includes an elastic latch. After installing the sealing shell in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch laterally abuts the sealing shell's right end and is in a lateral compression position, and the first connection channel and the second connection channel are aligned and in sealing communication through the sealing gasket. The elastic latch includes a right backstop to prevent the sealing shell from being vertically detached from the mounting chamber.

a right end of the mounting chamber is provided with an elastic latch;

after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch laterally abuts against the right end of the sealing shell and is in a lateral compression position, and at this moment the first connection channel and the second connection channel are aligned and in sealing communication through the sealing gasket; and

the elastic latch also constitutes a right backstop to prevent the sealing shell from being vertically detached from the mounting chamber.

2. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 1 , wherein the sealing seat is provided with a left backstop on an upper part of the left end of the mounting chamber to prevent the sealing shell from being vertically detached from the mounting chamber.

3. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 2 , wherein the left backstop comprises a positioning groove with a downward opening;

the upper part of the left end of the sealing shell is provided with a positioning rib matching the positioning groove, and when the positioning rib is accommodated in the positioning groove, the positioning rib constitutes a pivot for pivotally mounting the sealing shell with respect to the sealing seat.

4. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 3 , a limiting portion is provided on the right side of the body of the sealing shell, and during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, an end portion of the elastic latch abuts against the limiting portion and the elastic latch changes from an expansion position to a tension and retraction position; and after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch partially returns from the tension and retraction position to a lateral compression position.

5. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 4 , wherein the limiting portion comprises a protrusion located at a lower right side of the body of the sealing shell, and a recess adjacent to an upside of the protrusion;

during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, the end of the elastic latch rises and transits to the tension and retraction position along the protrusion; and

after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch rises over the protrusion and enters the recess.

6. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 4 , a body of the sealing shell has a first height, the limiting portion acts as a slope protruding to the right and has a second height, and the first height is greater than the second height;

during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, an end of the elastic latch rises along the slope and is gradually tensioned; and

after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch rises above the second height to form a right backstop located above the limiting portion.

7. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 6 , wherein a right side wall of the mounting chamber has an inclined surface that matches the slope.

8. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 2 , a limiting portion is provided on the right side of the body of the sealing shell, and during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, an end portion of the elastic latch abuts against the limiting portion and the elastic latch changes from an expansion position to a tension and retraction position; and after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch partially returns from the tension and retraction position to a lateral compression position.

9. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 8 , a body of the sealing shell has a first height, the limiting portion acts as a slope protruding to the right and has a second height, and the first height is greater than the second height;

during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, an end of the elastic latch rises along the slope and is gradually tensioned; and

after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch rises above the second height to form a right backstop located above the limiting portion.

10. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 9 , wherein a right side wall of the mounting chamber has an inclined surface that matches the slope.

11. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 8 , wherein the limiting portion comprises a protrusion located at a lower right side of the body of the sealing shell, and a recess adjacent to an upside of the protrusion;

during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, the end of the elastic latch rises and transits to the tension and retraction position along the protrusion; and

after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch rises over the protrusion and enters the recess.

12. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 1 , a limiting portion is provided on the right side of the body of the sealing shell, and during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, an end portion of the elastic latch abuts against the limiting portion and the elastic latch changes from an expansion position to a tension and retraction position; and after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch partially returns from the tension and retraction position to a lateral compression position.

13. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 12 , a body of the sealing shell has a first height, the limiting portion acts as a slope protruding to the right and has a second height, and the first height is greater than the second height;

during installation of the sealing shell into the mounting chamber, an end of the elastic latch rises along the slope and is gradually tensioned; and

after the sealing shell is installed in the mounting chamber, the elastic latch rises above the second height to form a right backstop located above the limiting portion.

14. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 13 , wherein a right side wall of the mounting chamber has an inclined surface that matches the slope.

15. The sealing assembly for electronic component of claim 14 , wherein the limiting portion comprises a protrusion located at a lower right side of the body of the sealing shell, and a recess adjacent to an upside of the protrusion;
