Patent Application
20230189455
The subject matter herein generally relates to placement and support of electronic devices, and to a structure for mounting and protecting electronic device within a tank.
Electronic devices may be mounted in a tank or housing for protection. However, structure for mounting electronic device in the tank may not be adjustable for size, resulting in low positioning accuracy and a risk of electronic devices being mounted in an unstable manner or causing damages to the electronic devices.
Many aspects of the disclosure can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts have been exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
The present disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is illustrated by way of examples and not by way of limitation. Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one”.
The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
Without a given definition otherwise, all terms used have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The terms used herein in the description of the present disclosure are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
As shown in
As shown in
In some embodiments, the two mounting pieces 20 define a second hole 22, and the two supporting plates 11 define a first hole 11a. In other embodiments, a second hole 22 is defined in only one of the two mounting pieces 20, and a first hole 11a is defined in only one of the two supporting plates 11. The other one of the two mounting pieces 20 can then be fixed on the other supporting plate 11.
Each of the two mounting pieces 20 defines a third hole 21. There are two third holes 21 in a mounting piece 20 for the fastener 30 to position and secure one electronic device 200.
In some embodiments, the fastener 30 is a screw.
In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 may be, for example, hard drive, processor, storage device, etc.
In some embodiments, a number of first holes 11a are arranged on one supporting plate 11 in direction X. A number of second holes 22 are arranged on one mounting piece 20 in direction X. The first holes 11a correspond one-to-one with the second holes 22. A number of third holes 21 are arranged on each mounting piece 20 in direction X. Each pair of third holes 21 of the two mounting pieces 20 are aligned in direction Y, widthways across the housing.
In some embodiments, as shown in
Each of the two mounting pieces 20 further comprises a third sheet 25. The third sheet 25 is connected between the first sheet 23 and the second sheet 24. The third sheet 25 is substantially perpendicular to the first sheet 23 and the second sheet 24. The first sheet 23 and the second sheet 24 are located on opposite sides of the third sheet 25 in direction Y. The second sheet 24 is located between the containing space 12b and the first sheet 23.
Each of the two mounting pieces 20 further comprises a fourth sheet 26. The fourth sheet 26 is connected to the side of the second sheet 24 away from the first sheet 23. The fourth sheet 26 is substantially perpendicular to the second sheet 24. The fourth sheet 26 forms a barrier between the gap 20a and the containing space 12b, preventing entry of debris into the gap 20a.
In another example, shown as
The eighth sheet 113, between the sixth sheet 111 and the seventh sheet 112, is substantially perpendicular to and forms a step with the sixth and seventh sheets 111 and 112.
The ninth sheet 28 is connected to the side of the fifth sheet 27 close to the containing space 12b. The ninth sheet 28 separates the gap 20a from the containing space 12b, also preventing entry of debris into the gap 20a.
As shown in
The base 10 further includes two connecting walls 13. The two connecting walls 13 are connected to the two supporting plates 11. The two connecting walls 13 can connect to other structures.
As shown in
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
