  • Patent number: 11165190
    Abstract: A waterproof sealing ring is applied to a waterproof connector. The waterproof connector is mounted to an electronic device which includes an enclosure. The waterproof sealing ring is attached to an outer surface of the enclosure. The enclosure defines an opening. The waterproof sealing ring includes a frame, and a connecting portion protruded outward and towards the enclosure from an outer peripheral surface of the frame. When the connecting portion is tightly attached to the outer surface of the enclosure, the connecting portion and the enclosure are combined with each other to form a combination space between the connecting portion and the enclosure. When fluid flows from the electronic device to the waterproof connector through the opening, the fluid flows through the combination space and generates an outward pressure on the connecting portion so as to make the connecting portion be under the outward pressure.
