Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To thin a structure much more without spoiling shock resistance and vibration resistance. SOLUTION: A bracket 2 is fixed to the side of a magnetic disk device 1 and the bracket 2 is sandwiched by an upper buffer member 4 and a lower buffer member 5 from upper/lower directions. The upper buffer member 4 and the lower buffer member 5 are inserted into the inner faces of a casing 6 from the upper/lower directions. Then, the magnetic device 1 is supported in the inner space of the casing 6. Since the bracket 2 is sandwiched by the upper buffer member 4 and the lower buffer member 5, the size of the upper/lower direction becomes thinner compared to a case when the magnetic disk device 1 itself is inserted between the upper buffer member 4 and the lower buffer member 5 in the same sizes. Since the thickness of the upper buffer member 4 and the lower buffer member 5 is not made thinner than a former one, shock resistance and vibration resistance are not damaged.

In an electronic device having such an internal structure,
The built-in unit often includes electronic components and movable mechanisms that are vulnerable to shock.In this case, if the shock applied to the housing is transmitted to the built-in unit as it is, the electronic components and movable mechanism in the built-in unit will be damaged. There is a risk of failure. Also, when a vibration source such as a motor is mounted on the built-in unit, if the vibration generated by the built-in unit is transmitted to the housing as it is, the housing will vibrate and cause noise, or other parts may vibrate. Can be transmitted and have unexpected adverse effects.

The housing serves as a container for housing the built-in unit, but its material and shape are not particularly limited. The housing itself may be composed of several parts, for example, one that combines a main body part and a lid part to form one housing, one that combines several panel parts to form a housing, and the like. I can think. Further, even if the housing accommodates only one built-in unit and is completed as one electronic device, the housing houses a plurality of built-in units and a group of other components that are directly provided, and forms one electronic device. It may be completed as a device. Furthermore, this housing is not necessarily the outermost part of the electronic device, and the housing itself may be housed in another housing.

[0010] The built-in unit is at least a built-in built-in device or component, but its function, shape, constituent parts, etc. are not particularly limited. Some specific examples include, for example, a built-in unit of an electronic device, such as a computer, an audio device, a measuring device, and a medical device, which wants to eliminate adverse effects due to vibrations and shocks as much as possible, or various machine tools. A built-in unit of an electronic device in which a mechanism serving as a vibration source coexists in one frame can be considered. Among them, a personal computer (especially a portable type) is one of the electronic devices for which it is extremely important to reduce the thickness. A typical example of a built-in unit of this type of personal computer is a magnetic disk drive. (For example, a hard disk device and an FD device) and an optical disk device (for example, a CD-ROM device).

The specific shape of the cushioning member is not particularly limited as long as it can form the above-described support structure. Also,
The material is not particularly limited as long as it is a low-hardness elastomer material capable of absorbing and mitigating impact. Specifically, for example, a gel resin, a rubber resin, a foam resin, or the like can be used. These can alleviate the impact with elastic deformation and then restore their shape to maintain the impact absorbing ability. Among them, the gel-like resin loses its fluidity as a whole, while the resin components crosslink with each other to form a network-like structure, and a fluid component such as a plasticizer is included in the gaps of the network structure. Since it is in a gel state, it exhibits so-called viscoelasticity and has a very large loss coefficient, which is particularly desirable in that vibration can be quickly converged.

The support plate may be formed integrally with the built-in unit or may be formed by fixing another component to the built-in unit, as long as the support plate extends laterally from the side surface of the built-in unit. The area of the upper and lower surfaces of the support plate is used to distribute pressure and frictional force between the upper and lower surfaces of the support plate and the cushioning member to the extent that the cushioning member functions effectively. The necessary area should be secured. However, this area cannot be specified by a numerical value or the like because it can vary depending on the physical properties of the buffer member itself or the magnitude of the assumed maximum impact force.

According to the support structure inside the electronic device configured as described above, a support plate having a shape smaller in the vertical direction than the built-in unit is extended from the built-in unit, and the support plate is vertically supported by the buffer member. It is sandwiched. Therefore, the thickness of the portion where the support plate is sandwiched between the buffer members is thinner than when the built-in unit itself is sandwiched between the buffer members having the same thickness. Then, the cushioning member and the support plate are sandwiched between inner surfaces of the housing. Therefore, when supporting the built-in unit in the internal space of the housing, the vertical dimension of the internal space of the housing may be small, and as a result, the electronic device is thinner than before. In addition, since the thickness of the cushioning member is not reduced in such a reduction in thickness, the shock resistance and the vibration proof property are not impaired as compared with the conventional product.

According to the support structure inside the electronic device configured as described above, a support plate having a shape smaller in the vertical direction than the built-in unit is extended from the built-in unit, and the support plate is vertically supported by the buffer member. It is sandwiched. Therefore, the thickness of the portion where the support plate is sandwiched between the buffer members is thinner than when the built-in unit itself is sandwiched between the buffer members having the same thickness. Then, the cushioning member and the support plate are sandwiched between inner surfaces of the housing. Therefore, when supporting the built-in unit in the internal space of the housing, the vertical dimension of the internal space of the housing may be small, and as a result, the electronic device is thinner than before. In addition, since the thickness of the cushioning member is not reduced in such a reduction in thickness, the shock resistance and the vibration proof property are not impaired as compared with the conventional product.
