Abstract

A structure of compartmental waterproof casing comprises a mother board and a casing body with multiple compartments. The compartments are closed and sealed in order to prevent moisture or other foreign substance from entering the casing body. Therefore the device installed inside the casing body is waterproof and protected against other damaging substance.

Claims

1. A structure of compartmental waterproof casing comprising:

a casing body;

a mother board installed in a space inside said casing body; and

a plurality of compartments provided inside said casing body and in proximity to said mother board, said compartments being independent and isolated from each other and each and every said compartments constituting a closed space, on which side an opening leading to said space inside said casing body is provided, and at least one electronic device being installed in said compartments.

2. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 1, wherein said casing body is formed of a single piece material.

3. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 1, wherein said compartments comprise a hard disk drive compartment where is installed a hard disk drive module.

4. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 3, wherein a hard disk drive compartment opening is provided to said hard disk drive compartment between said mother board and said hard disk drive module.

5. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 4, wherein a hard disk drive adaptor board is provided between said mother board and said hard disk drive compartment opening.

6. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 5, wherein waterproof silicone caulking is applied to the gap between said hard disk drive adaptor board and said hard disk drive compartment opening.

7. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 1, wherein said compartments comprise an optical disk drive compartment where is installed an optical disk drive module.

8. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 7, wherein an optical disk drive compartment opening is provided to said optical disk drive compartment between said mother board and said optical disk drive module.

9. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 8, wherein an optical disk drive adaptor board is provided between said mother board and said optical disk drive compartment opening.

10. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 9, wherein waterproof silicone caulking is applied to the gap between said optical disk drive adaptor board and said optical disk drive compartment opening.

11. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 1, wherein said compartments comprise an input/output ports compartment.

12. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 11, wherein an input/output ports compartment opening is provided to said input/output ports compartment.

13. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 11, wherein a plurality of plug holes for external connections are provided to said casing body outside said input/output ports compartment.

14. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 1, wherein a compartment cover is installed under said hard disk drive compartment and said optical disk drive compartment.

15. The structure of compartmental waterproof casing in accordance with claim 1, wherein a casing cover is installed in contact to the outer side of said casing body.
