Description

Bearing components

The present invention relates to a carrier assembly, in particular to a carrier assembly including spacers.

Generally speaking, the car computer or the car server is fixed to the carrier board, and the carrier board is fastened to the screw holes of the car shell through screws. In addition, the vibration generated by the vehicle passing through potholes or encountering uneven road surface will be further transmitted from the car shell to the car computer or car server through the screws and the bearing plate. In view of this, a shock absorbing member covering the screw is usually arranged in the mounting hole of the carrier plate. In this way, the shock absorber absorbs the vibration transmitted from the screw and reduces the vibration received by the car computer or car server.

However, the carrier plate is usually made of a relatively rigid metal and the shock absorbing member directly contacts the sharp edges in the carrier plate that form the mounting holes. Therefore, when the shock absorbing member continues to receive shock from the screw, the shock absorbing member continues to receive shear force from the carrier plate to be cut off by the carrier plate. Alternatively, when the shock absorber receives severe vibration from the screw due to rapid acceleration or rapid deceleration of the vehicle, the shock absorber may receive excessive shear force from the carrier plate and be cut off by the carrier plate. After the shock absorber is cut off by the car shell, it cannot effectively absorb the vibration from the car shell for the car computer or the car server.

The present invention is to provide a bearing assembly to prevent the shock absorbing member from being cut off by the plate body.

The carrier assembly disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention is used for fixing a casing of an electronic device to a fixing frame and includes a plate body, a shock absorbing member, a locking member and a spacer. The board body includes a mounting hole and a wall surface surrounding the mounting hole. The plate body is used for fixing to the casing of the electronic device. The shock absorber is arranged in the mounting hole and includes an opening. The locking member is penetrated through the opening of the shock absorbing member. One side of the locking member is used to be fixed on the fixing frame, and the shock absorbing member is sandwiched between the other side of the locking member and the fixing frame to be in a compressed state. The spacer is arranged in the opening and is interposed between the wall surface of the plate body and the damping element. The hardness of the spacer is greater than that of the shock absorbing member.

According to the bearing assembly disclosed in the above embodiments, since the spacer is located between the wall surface of the plate body and the shock absorbing element and the hardness of the spacer is greater than that of the shock absorbing element, the spacer will bear the shock from the plate body instead of the shock absorbing element. shear force, thereby preventing the shock absorbing member receiving continuous or severe vibration from the fixing frame from being cut off by the plate body. In this way, it can be ensured that the shock absorber can effectively absorb the shock from the fixing frame.
