Abstract

This application discloses a housing assembly, including a housing, a decorating part, and an adhesive assembly. The housing is provided with a through hole. The decorating part includes a substrate and a decorating ring protruding from the substrate. An air hole is disposed on the substrate. The air hole is located on an outer side of the decorating ring. The decorating ring is at least partially accommodated in the through hole. A gap is formed between an outer peripheral side surface of the decorating ring and a hole wall of the through hole. The adhesive assembly is attached between the substrate and the housing in a sealed manner. The adhesive assembly is disposed around the decorating ring and the air hole, and a channel is formed between the adhesive assembly and the outer peripheral side surface of the decorating ring.
