Waterproof type electronic device

Abstract

A waterproof type electronic device is composed of a disc lid (13) capable of opening and closing an opening portion (17) of a camera apparatus body (2), a buckle (12) capable of detachably fastening the disc lid (13) to the camera apparatus body (2) and a sealing member (24) provided on at least one of the buckle (12) and the camera apparatus body (2) to hermetically seal the buckle 12 and the camera apparatus body (2). When the disc lid (13) is fastened to the camera apparatus body (2) by the buckle (12), the camera apparatus body (2) is hermetically sealed at least at its part of the portion covered with the buckle (12). In this kind of related-art waterproof type electronic device, operation buttons are not formed so as to have waterproof structures and water and water component can therefore enter this waterproof type electronic device relatively easily. If the operation buttons are formed so as to have waterproof structures, then such waterproof structures are increased in space from a structure standpoint and hence the overall arrangement of the apparatus may not be made compact in size.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In this type of waterproof electronic device, since each operation button is not formed by a waterproof structure, water and moisture can easily enter the operation button. If the corresponding operation button is made by a waterproof structure, then From the viewpoint of structure and space, the size of such waterproof electronic devices will become large, and the entire device cannot be miniaturized

Furthermore, since the locking structure of the disc cover requires an overstroke, it is difficult to improve the tight contact property of the disc cover

Moreover, since the water and moisture in the camera body are removed by natural drying, it takes a long time to remove the moisture generated in the space enclosed by the waterproof structure.
