Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 102138641 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on Oct. 25, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a buffer member, a buffer frame and an electrical device, more particularly to an electrical device and its buffer member without screw.


BACKGROUND

A hard disk drive is generally mounted to a main body of a laptop by a screw. However, it takes extra expenditure in labor cost and material cost because the screw is not only too small to keep, but also needs to cooperate with the corresponding tool according to the sorts of the screws.


Furthermore, the efficiency and the life span of the hard disk drive are easily affected by the external force or vibration when the hard disk drive operates. Therefore, how to prevent the hard disk drive from vibration is important. In general, the buffer member, such as rubber, is used as a frame for fixing the hard disk drive, which significantly enhances the protection of the hard disk drive against vibration. Specifically, if the rubber with lower elasticity (namely; flexible rubber) is chosen to be the frame of the hard disk drive, it may reduce the vibration but the hard disk drive may not be securely mounted, such that the hard disk drive is easily failed because of the movement. On the contrary, if the rubber with higher elasticity (namely; rigid rubber) is chosen to be the frame of the hard disk drive, it may be securely mounted but generates the vibration such that the hard disk drive is negatively affected because of the vibration.


Therefore, it is difficult to take the buffer and fixation effects into consideration at the same time. Accordingly, it is important to reduce the vibration when the hard disk drive is fixed on the laptop.

One of the ordinary skill in the art may adjust the relative position between the adhesive layer 16 and the engaging projection 15.


The second buffer portion 14 of the buffer member 10 is attached to the bottom surface 222 of the bottom plate 22 of the frame body 20, and the engaging projection 15 is engaged with the engaging hole 223 of the bottom plate 22, such that a buffer frame is formed by the combination of the buffer member 10 and the frame body 20.


The main body 40 has a bearing portion 41 and at least a second holding portion 42 located on the bearing portion 41, and the second holding portion 42 is a wall which is erected on the bearing portion 41. The number of the second holding portion 42 of the main body 40 corresponds to that of the first holding portion 24, such that the frame body 20 is securely connected with the main body 40 by the combination of the first holding portion 24 and the second holding portion 42. The method for combining the frame body 20 with the main body 40 is going to be illustrated in the following description.


Please refer to the FIG. 1B and FIG. 2, the assembling method of the electrical device 1 is going to be described in the following description. First, the storage device 30 is located inside the accommodation space 210 of the frame body 20 of the buffer frame 5 by a user, such that the storage device 30 is sandwiched (namely, enclosed by) between the bottom plate 22 and the top plate 23. Specifically, the bottom plate 22 and the top plate 23 may limit the displacement of the storage device 30 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the openings 31 of the storage device 30 are fitted to the perforation holes 213 of the frame body 20 after the storage device 30 is located inside the accommodation space 210. At this moment, the bending portion 13 of the buffer member 10 is bent by the user, such that the pin passes through the perforation hole 213 and inserts into the opening 31 of the storage device 30, and the first buffer portion 11 of the buffer member 10 is attached to the outer side surface 212 of the frame body 20. Therefore, the storage device 30 is securely located inside the accommodation space 210 of the frame body 20 and the bending portion 13 is located inside the connecting hole 224 at the same time. Specifically, the connecting hole 224 is used for accommodating the bending portion 13 which is bent in order to prevent the bending portion 13 from protruding the outer side surface 212 of the lateral plate 21, thus, the bending portion 13 does not interfere with other components (not shown) inside the electrical device 1.


It is worth noting that the opening 31 of the storage device 30 is a threaded hole and the thread 122 is located on an outer surface 121 of the pin 12, thus, the joint strength between the pin 12 and the opening 31 is raised.


Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, FIG. 4A is a side view of a buffer member according to another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 4B is a side view of a buffer member according to another embodiment of the disclosure. In this embodiment (as shown in FIG. 4A), a texture 123a is located on an outer surface 121a of the pin 12a and the texture 123a also raises the joint strength between the pin 12a and the opening 31. Furthermore, in this embodiment (as shown in FIG. 4B), a plurality of projections 124b are located on an outer surface 121b of the pin 12b and the plurality of projections 124b also raise the joint strength between the pin 12b and the opening 31.


In some other embodiments of the disclosure, it is noted that the pin 12 is tightly fitted (interference fit) with the opening 31 for enhancing the joint strength, and there is no other protrusion structure located on the outer surface 121 of the pin 12.


After the storage device 30 is combined with the frame body 20 and the buffer member 10, the frame body 20 and the storage device 30 regarded as a whole is located on the bearing portion 41 of the main body 40, such that second holding portion 42 is sandwiched (namely, enclosed by) between the first holding portion 24 and the lateral plate 21 of the frame body 20. Therefore, the assembly of electrical device 1 is completed according to the above procedure.


In this embodiment, it is noted that the first buffer portion 11 of the buffer member 10 reduces the vibration of the storage device 30 in the horizontal direction, and the second buffer portion 14 of the buffer member 10 reduces the vibration of the storage device 30 in the vertical direction, thus it prevents the storage device 30 from failure by the external force, or prevents other components inside the storage device 30 from being negatively affected by the vibration generated from the operation of the storage device 30. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the reinforcing member 17 is located inside the pin 12, thus, the pin 12 still keeps enough rigidity and strength even the flexible rubber is chosen to be the first buffer portion 11, the pin 12, the bending portion 13 and the second buffer portion 14. Therefore, the buffer and fixation effects of the buffer member 10 are taken into consideration at the same time according to the embodiment of the disclosure. In other words, it maintains the balance between the buffer and fixation effects.


In addition, the components of the electrical device 1 mentioned above are affixed to each other without any other screw or bolt. Therefore, it saves the labor cost and material cost according to the embodiment of the disclosure.


In this embodiment, it is noted that the reinforcing member 17 is integrally formed to be located inside the pin 12, but the configuration of the reinforcing member 17 located inside the pin 12 by integrally formed in the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, please refer to FIG. 5, which is an exploded view of the buffer member according to another embodiment of the disclosure. In other embodiment of the disclosure, the pin 12c has a mounting hole 125c which passes through the first buffer portion 11c. The reinforcing member 17c passes through the mounting hole 125c via one side of the first buffer portion 11c such that the reinforcing member 17c is located inside the pin 12c.


Furthermore, the buffer member 10 in this embodiment is applied to the storage device, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the buffer member 10 is also applied to other vibration source. Please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, FIG. 6A is a perspective view of an electrical device according to another embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 6B is an exploded view of the electrical device according to another embodiment of the disclosure.

The lateral surface 53 of the speaker 50 has a groove 531 which extends toward the bottom surface 52 from the top surface 51.


Furthermore, the configuration of the buffer member 10′ is substantially similar to the embodiment shown as FIG. 3A, and the similar description is not repeated herein again. The first buffer portion 11′ of the buffer member 10′ is attached to the recess 511 and the pin 12′ is inserted into the opening 512 when the buffer member 10′ is located inside the speaker 50. The bending portion 13′ is located on the groove 531 of the lateral surface 53 and the second buffer portion 14′ is attached to the bottom surface 52 of the speaker 50. The buffer member 10′ is located on the main body (not shown) of the electrical device by any feasible measure, such that the speaker 50 is securely located on the main body of the electrical device. Specifically, the buffer member 10′ in this embodiment provides both the buffer and fixation effects for the speaker 50. Furthermore, the disposing of the recess 511 of the top surface 51 of the speaker 50 and the groove 531 of the lateral surface 53 prevents the first buffer portion 11′ of the buffer member 10′ from protruding the top surface 51 of the speaker 50, and prevents the bending portion 13′ of the buffer member 10′ from protruding the lateral surface 53 of the speaker 50.


According to the embodiments of buffer member, buffer frame and electrical device, the first buffer portion and the second buffer portion provide the buffer effect, which prevents the vibration source from being failed by the external force, or prevents other electrical components from being negatively affected by the vibration generated from the vibration source. In addition, the buffer member not only reduces the vibration but also fixes to the device at the same time, because the reinforcing member is located inside the pin. Moreover, the components of the electrical device are affixed to each other without any screw because of the fixation by the buffer member. Therefore, it saves the labor cost and material cost according to the embodiment of the disclosure.
