Abstract
Aspects are provided for a case for a pump assembly having a base and an enclosure assembly. The enclosure assembly includes a case cover coupled to the enclosure assembly via a gasket, wherein the case cover and the enclosure assembly form a gap between the case cover and the enclosure assembly in a portion of the case cover without the gasket, a display, a plurality of bosses, a frame plate removable fastened to the plurality of bosses, wherein the display is fixedly attached to the case cover when the frame plate is fastened to the plurality of bosses, and one or more drainage channels disposed at an underside surface of the case cover, the one or more drainage channels being configured to divert fluid away from the display.
Claims16
An enclosure assembly of a pump, comprising:
- a case body having an opening therein;
- a case cover coupled to the case body proximal to the case body opening, the case cover having an outer surface and an underside surface, the underside surface facing the case body, wherein the case cover and the case body form a gap between the underside surface of the case cover and the case body in a portion of the case cover, the case cover having an opening extending through the case cover from the outer surface of the case cover to the underside surface;
- a display integrated with the case cover proximate to the opening in the case cover;
- a plurality of bosses locatable between the case body and the case cover;
- a frame plate removably fastened to the plurality of bosses, wherein the display is fixedly attached to the case cover between the frame plate and the underside surface of the case cover when the frame plate is fastened to the plurality of bosses;
- and one or more drainage channels formed in the underside surface of the case cover, the one or more drainage channels being configured to channel a flow of fluid received within the enclosure assembly, wherein at least one of the one or more drainage channels has a first end closer to the display and the opening than a second end and which extends along the underside surface away from the display to the second end to divert fluid near the display away from the display, wherein the first end is located on the underside surface of the case cover at a location that is higher than the second end when the case cover is on the case body during use.
A protective case for a pump assembly, comprising:
- a base;
- and an enclosure assembly configured to mateably couple with the base, comprising:
- a case body having an opening therein;
- a case cover coupled to the case body proximal to the case body opening, the case cover having an outer surface and an underside surface, the underside surface facing the case body, wherein the case cover and the case body form a gap between the underside surface of the case cover and the case body in a portion of the case cover;
- the case cover having an opening extending through the case cover from the outer surface of the case cover to the underside surface;
- a display integrated with the case cover;
- a plurality of bosses locatable between the case body and the case cover;
- a frame plate removably fastened to the plurality of bosses, wherein the display is fixedly attached to the case cover between the frame plate and the underside surface of the case cover when the frame plate is fastened to the plurality of bosses;
- and one or more drainage channels formed in the underside surface of the case cover, the one or more drainage channels being configured to channel a flow of fluid received within the protective case, wherein at least one of the one or more drainage channels has a first end closer to the display and the opening than a second end and which extends along the underside surface away from the display to the second end to divert fluid on or near the display away from the display, wherein the first end is located on the underneath surface of the case cover at a location that is higher than the second end when the case cover is on the case body during use.
