Ever since the popularization of electronic products, product waterproof structure design is an essential performance index. In order to meet the needs of waterproofing, many designers and engineers are working day and night trying to figuring out the injection molding structure, sealing, exhaust, various rubber pads, diversion, heat dissipation, deformation, and mould manufacturing costs. If you are wondering how to improve the appearance of molds to stay competitive in the market, ZL design is going to introduces the most traditional method - the waterproof structure design.

Structural waterproofing should be the first method that most engineers think of. The main idea is hydrophobic, an effective isolation of external packaging and internal electrical parts. The product mold design and various plugging are the key points too.  More importantly, the more complex the mold, the more expensive it is. For example, in the past few years, some waterproof phones used such design methods for earphone jacks and waterproof covers for charging ports, block water from the outside to achieve the purpose of waterproofing.

The waterproof design of this product structure also has certain defects, because electronic products, especially mobile phones and earphones, are products that are used very frequently. The user damage to the appearance is always present, and the appearance deformation might also occur. The gaps in the appearance joints might also deform, which will become a potential concern.
