The first through hole is in communication with the cavity, a first separate plate and a second separate plate are provided in the cavity, a gap between the first separate plate and an inner wall at one side of the cavity is in communication with the first through hole. A first recess for placing a water absorption device is provided between the first separate plate and the second separate plate, a bottom of a second recess between the second separate plate and the inner wall at another side of the cavity is in communication with the first through hole. A partial bottom of second recess close to first through hole is at a lower position than another partial bottom of second recess away from first through hole. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A housing, applied to a wearable device, comprising: a housing body, having a cavity therein, with a first through hole being provided in an outer wall of the housing body, wherein the first through hole is in communication with the cavity, wherein a first separate plate and a second separate plate are provided in the cavity, a gap between the first separate plate and an inner wall at one side of the cavity is in communication with the first through hole; a first recess for placing a water absorption device is provided between the first separate plate and the second separate plate, a bottom of a second recess between the second separate plate and the inner wall at another side of the cavity is in communication with the first through hole; and the bottom of the second recess comprises a first side close to the first through hole and a second side away from the first through hole, wherein a height of the first side is lower than a height of the second side. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The housing according to claim 1, wherein the first separate plate and the second plate are both arc-shaped walls, and together form an annular wall, an annular gap is left between the annular wall and the inner wall of the cavity, and the bottom of the second recess is in communication with the first through hole. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The housing according to claim 1, wherein a top of the first separate plate is an inclined surface, and a height of the inclined surface on the side close to the first through hole is lower than a height of the inclined surface on the side away from the first through hole. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The housing according to claim 1, wherein a lowest part of the second recess is in communication with the first through hole. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) A wearable device, comprising a housing, wherein the housing is the housing according to claim 1. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The wearable device according to claim 5, further comprising: an water absorption device; a first reinforcing plate; and a barometer, wherein the water absorption device is placed in the first recess, the first reinforcing plate is arranged above the water absorption device, the first reinforcing plate is provided with a second through hole and the second through hole is aligned with the water absorption device, and the first through hole is staggered from the second through hole, the barometer is placed above the first reinforcing plate, and an inner cavity of the barometer is configured to cover the second through hole. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The wearable device according to claim 6, wherein the water absorption device is water absorbing foam, comprising a foam body and a sand control net covering the foam body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The wearable device according to claim 6, wherein a waterproof membrane is provided on a lower surface of the first reinforcing plate, and the waterproof membrane is configured to cover the bottom of the second through hole. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The wearable device according to claim 6, wherein an outer cavity of the barometer is in communication with the cavity of the housing, and the outer cavity of the barometer is communication with the inner cavity of the barometer through a third through hole. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The wearable device according to claim 6, wherein a sealing rubber ring is interference fit between an outer wall of the barometer and an inner wall of the cavity of the housing.
