It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1-8, the elastic member a made of compressible material in this embodiment is a foam member, which is required to realize a compatible housing 6 having a housing cover 61, a housing body 62, an inner wall surface 63 of the housing cover 61 including a housing inner top surface 631, a housing inner annular surface 632, and a housing outer annular surface 633, which form mating surfaces to be fitted with the foam member.
Due to the change of specification and size, the upper surface of the equipment to be assembled forms an assembly gap with the inner top surface, the inner ring surface and the outer ring surface of the shell.
The elastic member A for filling the above-mentioned fitting gap and at the same time tightly fitting the housing and the device together includes a first fitting surface 1, a second fitting surface 2. The first assembling surface 1 and the second assembling surface 2 are oppositely arranged, and form a first preset thickness layer to bear the clamping force of the shell, so that the first preset thickness needs to meet the requirements that the first assembling surface and the second assembling surface are in interference fit with the inner wall surface of the shell and clamped and fixed on the shell, namely the interference fit requirements of the first assembling surface 1 and the second assembling surface 2 with the inner wall surface of the shell.
The elastic member a made of compressible material in this embodiment needs to be fixed and connected to closely fit the device to be assembled with the housing, so that the elastic member a made of compressible material has a contour adapted to the housing. The shapes of the first assembling surface 1 and the second assembling surface 2 can be designed into different shapes according to actual requirements, and can be arc-shaped surfaces, can be formed by connecting a plurality of straight surfaces, and can also be formed by connecting a plurality of arc-shaped surfaces.
Further, the elastic member a of the present embodiment further forms a third mounting surface 3 and a fourth mounting surface 4, which are preferably oppositely disposed in a direction perpendicular to the clamping direction borne by the first and second mounting surfaces, and preferably, both ends of the third mounting surface 3 are respectively connected to the first mounting surface 1 and the second mounting surface 2, and both ends of the fourth mounting surface 4 are respectively connected to the first mounting surface 1 and the second mounting surface 2.
In order to better realize the installation and fixation of the elastic component and the assembled product, the fourth assembling surface 4 is preferably used as a positioning guide surface in the assembling process, a guiding and positioning device is formed on the positioning guide surface to fix the elastic component A on the equipment to be assembled, and the third assembling surface 3 can be used as an identification surface (such as a recovery identification printed) to abut against the matching surface of the equipment to be assembled. Preferably, a second preset thickness is formed between the third assembling surface and the fourth assembling surface, and the second preset thickness is larger than a gap between the top surface in the shell and the assembling surface of the equipment to be assembled in the vertical direction, so that a certain interference fit is formed between the third assembling surface and the matching surface of the equipment to be assembled.

Correspondingly, a positioning column is formed on the inner top surface of the shell and matched with the positioning hole to position the elastic component on the shell.

Under the action of the reaction force, the first assembling surface 1 of the elastic component A is abutted against the inner annular surface of the shell, and the second assembling surface 2 is abutted against the outer annular surface of the shell, so that the assembling and fixing effects are achieved.
Therefore, the elastic member provided by the invention well solves the compatibility problem that different specifications/models of equipment share the same shell, the waste that the shells are not matched and cannot be used due to the fact that the specifications of the equipment need to be replaced is avoided, preferably, the elastic member A made of the compressible material in the embodiment is made of the recyclable compressible material, the elastic member A is preferably a foam member, and particularly the density of the elastic member A is 30kg/m3And (3) EPS with water absorption of less than 0.04.
