The buffer member 3 is provided between the inner peripheral wall of the insertion groove 21 and the outer peripheral wall of the cover plate 1 , and the buffer member 3 extends along the circumferential direction of the cover plate 1 and is formed in a ring shape.

Wherein, the edge of the cover plate 1 is provided with a ring-shaped ink layer, and the color of the buffer member 3 is the same as that of the ink layer. At the same time, the cushioning part 3 is an injection-molded silicone part, and the middle frame 2 is a metal part.

The forming process of the housing assembly 100 includes: first forming the middle frame 2, spraying a treatment agent on each side wall of the middle frame 2 facing the cover plate 1, and injecting the material of the liquid buffer 3 into the embedding groove 21 of the middle frame 2 The cushioning part 3 of silica gel is formed inside, that is, a circle of silica gel ring is formed.

When the housing assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention and related products using the housing assembly 100 are dropped or hit, due to the buffering effect of the buffer member 3, the cover plate 1 will not directly collide with the middle frame 2, thereby effectively preventing The cover plate 1 is broken and fails, thereby ensuring the reliability of the housing assembly 100 .
