Abstract

An electronic device includes a casing and an electronic assembly. The casing has an opening between a first side surface and a second side surface parallel to each other, and the opening has a first side edge and a second side edge opposite to each other. The electronic assembly is assembled in the casing, and includes a body, a connecting portion, and a waterproof ring. The connecting portion is arranged on one side of the body. The waterproof ring includes an outer ring, an inner ring, and two blocking portions. The outer ring is a closed ring, and is arranged around an outer surface of the connecting portion. The inner ring is arranged on the outer surface of the connecting portion and is closer to the body than the outer ring. The two blocking portions are each connected to the outer ring and the inner ring.

Claims (32)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a casing, having an opening between a first side surface and a second side surface parallel to each other, wherein the opening has a first side edge and a second side edge opposite to each other, and the first side edge and the second side edge are obliquely arranged between the first side surface and the second side surface; and

an electronic assembly, assembled in the casing and comprising:

a body;

a connecting portion, arranged on one side of the body; and

a waterproof ring, comprising:

an outer ring, being a closed ring and arranged around an outer surface of the connecting portion;

an inner ring, arranged on the outer surface of the connecting portion and closer to the body than the outer ring; and

two blocking portions, each connected to the outer ring and the inner ring, wherein

when the connecting portion correspondingly passes through the opening, one side of the outer ring is in close contact with the first side surface, one side of the inner ring is in close contact with the second side surface, one blocking portion is correspondingly located at the first side edge, and the other blocking portion is correspondingly located at the second side edge.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the other side of the outer ring opposite to the first side surface protrudes from the opening.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the inner ring has a notch facing a top of the body.

4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the two blocking portions are adjacent to the notch.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein when the connecting portion correspondingly passes through the opening, the two blocking portions are located in a range where both the first side edge and the second side edge cover the outer ring.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion has a first surface and a second surface, and the two blocking portions are respectively arranged on two opposite ends and are located in a distance range of two thirds of a distance from the first surface to the second surface.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the outer ring and the inner ring are arranged at a specific distance.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the two blocking portions extend in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the outer ring and the inner ring and are connected to the outer ring and the inner ring.

9. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the two blocking portions extend in a direction oblique to an axial direction of the outer ring and the inner ring and are connected to the outer ring and the inner ring.

10. An electronic assembly, comprising:

a body;

a connecting portion, arranged on one side of the body; and

a waterproof ring, comprising:

an outer ring, being a closed ring and arranged around an outer surface of the connecting portion;

an inner ring, arranged on the outer surface of the connecting portion and closer to the body than the outer ring; and

two blocking portions, each connected to the outer ring and the inner ring, wherein

the two blocking portions are respectively located on two opposite ends.

11. The electronic assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the inner ring has a notch facing a top of the body.

12. The electronic assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the two blocking portions are adjacent to the notch.

13. The electronic assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the connecting portion has a first surface and a second surface, and the two blocking portions are respectively arranged on two opposite ends and are located in a distance range of two thirds of a distance from the first surface to the second surface.

14. The electronic assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the outer ring and the inner ring are arranged at a specific distance.

15. The electronic assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the two blocking portions extend in a direction parallel to an axial direction of the outer ring and the inner ring and are connected to the outer ring and the inner ring.

16. The electronic assembly according to claim 10 , wherein the two blocking portions extend in a direction oblique to an axial direction of the outer ring and the inner ring and are connected to the outer ring and the inner ring.
