Abstract
A waterproof jacket assembly applied in a communication device is disclosed. The communication device includes an enclosure defining a first through hole for a transmission wire passing through. The waterproof jacket assembly is mounted on the enclosure corresponding to the first through hole, and includes a sleeve, an elastic waterproof element and a cover board. The sleeve defines a receiving cavity in communication with the first through hole. The elastic waterproof element is received in the receiving cavity and helically wrapped around the transmission wire. The transmission wire passes through the cover board and the cover board engages with the sleeve to drive the elastic waterproof element to fill in the receiving cavity.

A waterproof jacket assembly, applied in a communication device comprising an enclosure defining a first through hole extending from an outer surface of the enclosure to an inner of the enclosure for at least one transmission wire passing through, the waterproof jacket assembly mounted on the outer surface corresponding to the first through hole and comprising:
- a sleeve, defining a receiving cavity in communication with the first through hole;
- an elastic waterproof element, received in the receiving cavity, and helically wrapped around the transmission wire;
- and
- a cover board, engaged with the sleeve, and the transmission wire passing through the cover board to drive the elastic waterproof element to fill in the receiving cavity;
- wherein the elastic waterproof element is received in the receiving cavity with one end resisting on the enclosure, and winds the transmission wire tightly along a radial direction of the elastic waterproof element by rotation of the cover board, thereby sealing the first through hole and the transmission wire along both the axial direction and the radial direction of the elastic waterproof element by pushing the cover board towards the enclosure and pressing the elastic waterproof element along the axial direction the elastic waterproof element.
A communication device, comprising:
- an enclosure, defining a first through hole extending from an outer surface of the enclosure to an inner of the enclosure;
- a circuit arrangement, received in the enclosure;
- at least one transmission wire, passing through the first through hole to connect the circuit arrangement with another communication device for communicating;
- and
- a waterproof jacket assembly, mounted on the outer surface corresponding to the first through hole and comprising:
- a sleeve, defining a receiving cavity in communication with the first through hole;
- an elastic waterproof element, received in the receiving cavity, and helically wrapped around the transmission wire;
- and
- a cover board, engaged with the sleeve, and the transmission wire passing through the cover board to drive the elastic waterproof element to fill in the receiving cavity;
- wherein the elastic waterproof element is received in the receiving cavity with one end resisting on the enclosure and winds the transmission wire tightly along a radial direction of the elastic waterproof element by rotation of the cover board, thereby sealing between the first through hole and the transmission wire along both the axial direction and the radial direction of the elastic waterproof element by pushing the cover board towards the enclosure and pressing the elastic waterproof element along the axial direction of the elastic waterproof element.
