Abstract

An assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices, which includes a charging device casing with a first opening, a cable cover assembly including a base provided with an USB connection interface and an accommodating space, a bracket structure with a second opening, and a cover covering the USB connection interface to form a waterproof and dustproof protective cover. The first opening, the USB connection interface and the second opening are aligned with each other. The cable cover assembly, the charging device casing and the bracket structure utilize a set of snap-type components respectively disposed on the cable cover assembly and the bracket structure to form a waterproof and dust-proof snap-fit structure that closely fits in sequence from outside to inside.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices, said structure comprising:
a charging device casing with a first opening; a cable cover assembly including a base provided with a USB connection interface and an accommodating space; a bracket structure with a second opening; a cover covering said USB connection interface to form a waterproof and dustproof protective cover; wherein said first opening, said USB connection interface and said second opening are aligned with each other; wherein said cable cover assembly, said charging device casing and said bracket structure utilize a set of snap-type components respectively disposed on said cable cover assembly and said bracket structure to form a waterproof and dustproof snap-fit structure that closely fits in sequence from outside to inside; wherein said charging device casing disposed between said cable cover assembly and said bracket structure; and wherein said charging device casing further comprises an assembled groove disposed on an outer side thereof for accommodating externally connected DC power cords.

2 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 1 , wherein said set of snap-type components includes:
a plurality of snap hooks disposed on inner side of said cable cover assembly and located around said USB connection interface; a plurality of slots disposed on corresponding locations around said second opening of said bracket structure, wherein said plurality of snap hooks buckled on said plurality slots to form snap-fit structure.

3 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 1 , wherein said cover includes a rubber cover body with a plug structure, a cylinder extends outward from said rubber cover body, and end of said cylinder has a limit stop portion.

4 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 3 , wherein said cover is fixed on said USB connection interface by said plug structure to block external dust and moisture.

5 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 3 , wherein said cover is rotationally connected to said USB connection interface through an elliptical slot from outside of said cable cover assembly.

6 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 1 , wherein said USB connection interface is electrically coupled to a USB circuit board assembly including a USB connector and a corresponding driving circuit.

7 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 6 , wherein said USB circuit board assembly is fixed on inner side of said cable cover assembly, and said USB connector penetrates said USB connection interface through a USB opening provided by the USB connection interface.

8 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 7 , wherein said accommodating space provided on said base of said cable cover assembly is used for accommodating said externally connected DC power cords and said USB circuit board assembly.

9 . The assembled waterproof and dustproof structure for charging devices of claim 8 , wherein said USB circuit board assembly is electrically connected to battery pack and its peripheral circuit disposed in said charging device casing through said first opening and said second opening.
