Detailed ways

The foregoing and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed descriptions of two preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to Fig. 3, Fig. 4, the utility model has the first preferred embodiment of the electronic device 2 of shock-absorbing foot pad 3 and can be a notebook computer or CD player etc., and this electronic device 2 comprises a casing 21 and accommodates A plurality of electronic components 20 inside the housing 21 . Wherein, if the electronic device 2 is a notebook computer, the electronic components 20 may include a central processing unit (CPU), a motherboard, a hard disk drive, etc., and if the electronic device 2 is a CD-ROM drive, the electronic components 20 Component 20 may include a read head, a circuit board, connection lines, and the like. The casing 21 has a casing bottom wall 211 and a plurality of recesses 22 disposed on the casing bottom wall 211 . Each recess 22 has a surrounding wall 222 connected to the casing bottom wall 211, an inner bottom wall 221 surrounded and defined by the surrounding wall 222 on the casing bottom wall 211, and a stopper 223. In this embodiment, In an example, the stopper 223 is located at the corner where the surrounding wall 222 connects with the inner bottom wall 221 and has a ring shape, and its function will be described later.

As shown in FIG. 5 , FIG. 6 , and FIG. 7 , the shock-absorbing foot pads 3 are correspondingly installed in the recesses 22 , and each shock-absorbing foot pad 3 includes a housing 31 and an elastic element 32 .

The housing 31 can be integrally formed of rubber material, and the housing 31 includes a top wall 311, a bottom wall 312 spaced below the top wall 311, and a connecting wall connected between the top wall 311 and the bottom wall 312. 313 , the above-mentioned top wall 311 , bottom wall 312 and connecting wall 313 define a space 310 for accommodating the elastic element 32 , and the connecting wall 313 can be flexibly deformed locally under force.

In this embodiment, the connecting wall 313 includes a surrounding wall portion 314 , an upper connecting portion and a lower connecting portion. The upper connection part includes a plurality of upper connection sections 315, 315' that are spaced apart from each other and connected to the outer edge of the top wall 311, and the lower connection part includes a plurality of lower connection sections 316 that are spaced from each other and connected to the outer edge of the bottom wall 312. The upper and lower walls 314 are respectively connected to the top wall 311 and the bottom wall 312 through the upper connecting sections 315 and the lower connecting sections 316, and an upper air hole 317 is defined between two upper connecting sections 315, and two lower connecting sections A ventilation hole 318 is defined between 316 . In addition, in this embodiment, the bottom wall 312 also has a protruding portion 3120 protruding downwards relative to the lower connecting sections 316, when the electronic device 2 with the shock-absorbing pad 3 is placed on a surface 200 When put on, the protrusions 3120 of the shock-absorbing foot pads 3 contact the surface 200 .

The elastic element 32 can be a compression spring, which is accommodated in the space 310 with the top end abutting against the bottom wall 311 and the bottom end abutting against the bottom wall 312 . It should be added that in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 , one of the upper connecting sections 315 ′ is not connected to the surrounding wall 314 , so that the top wall 311 can be partially lifted to make the space 310 open, and accommodate the elastic element 32 inside. When the casing 31 is subjected to the force of upward and downward relative extrusion, both the elastic element 32 and the space 310 are extruded, and the upper connecting section 315 and the lower connecting section 316 are flexibly deformed so that the top wall 311 and the bottom wall 312 are opposed near. Of course, when the housing 31 is integrally formed of rubber, the top wall 311, the bottom wall 312 or other parts of the housing 31 may be slightly deformed during the extrusion process, but as shown in FIG. 6 , In this embodiment, since the thickness of the surrounding wall 314 is obviously larger than the thickness of the upper and lower connecting sections 315, 316, and the direction of surrounding the wall 314 is parallel to the extrusion direction, therefore, in the first preferred implementation For example, when the casing 31 is squeezed, the upper connecting section 315 and the lower connecting section 316 will firstly undergo flexible deformation.

Referring to Fig. 4 and Fig. 7, each shock-absorbing foot pad 3 is embedded in the recessed portion 22 with its housing 31 in tight fit, and when the shock-absorbing foot pad 3 is embedded in the recessed portion 22, the housing 31 The top periphery abuts against the bottom of the stopper 223, while the top central area of the housing 31 is spaced below the inner bottom wall 221. In this embodiment, the top periphery of the housing 31 refers to the top edge of the surrounding wall 314, and the housing 31 31 is the top central area refers to the top wall 311 . Therefore, on the one hand, the stopper 223 can be used to limit the insertion depth of the casing 31 into the recessed portion 22 , and on the other hand, it can allow the top wall 311 of the casing 31 to be spaced below the inner bottom wall 221 .

Referring to Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, therefore, when the electronic device 2 equipped with the shock-absorbing foot pad 3 is placed on a surface 200 (such as on a desktop), and is subjected to pressure in the up and down direction (or the shock-absorbing foot pad 3 bears electronic weight of the device 2), the protruding portion 3120 of the bottom wall 312 is subjected to the reaction force of the surface 200 and is upwardly adjacent to the top wall 311, and squeezes the space 310 and compresses the elastic element 32 at the same time, thereby achieving the effects of shock absorption and buffering. And when the lower connecting sections 316 are flexibly deformed, the gas in the space 310 is forced out of the casing 31 through the lower vent hole 318 .

In addition, since the stopper 223 in this embodiment is annular, there is still a gap between the top wall 311 and the inner bottom wall 221 of the recessed portion 22, and the outer edge of the top wall 311 is connected to the surrounding area by the upper connecting sections 315. The wall portion 314 is connected. Therefore, if the elastic element 32 is selected as a compression spring with a larger elastic coefficient K value, when the bottom wall 312 is displaced upward by the reaction force of the surface 200, the compressed amount of the compression spring 32 is relatively small. The top wall 311 is pushed up by the compression spring 32 so that these upper connecting sections 315 are flexibly deformed, and the gas in the interval is extruded by the top wall 311 to pass through the upper air hole 317 (see FIG. 6 ) flows down into the space 310, and then flows out of the housing 31 through the lower air hole 318 (see FIG. 5).

Referring to Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, the difference between the second preferred embodiment of the present invention and the first preferred embodiment is that the connecting wall 313' includes a connection between the top wall 311' and the bottom wall 312' The surrounding wall 314', and the thickness of the partial section 3141' of the surrounding wall 314' is relatively thin. Therefore, when the shock-absorbing foot pad 3' is squeezed, the partial section 3141' of the surrounding wall 314' is formed with a relatively thin thickness. Flexural deformation occurs first.

And in this embodiment, the connection between the bottom wall 312' and the surrounding wall 314' is also provided with these lower ventilation holes 318'.

In the second preferred embodiment, the combination of the shock-absorbing foot pad 3' and the electronic device can be combined with each recessed part 22 of the electronic device 2 in a tight fit as shown in the first preferred embodiment (see Fig. 4) Alternatively, the top wall 311 ′ can also be attached to the bottom of the electronic device 1 by pasting.

It can be known from the above that in the present utility model, the electronic device 2 has a shock-absorbing effect through the setting of these shock-absorbing foot pads 3 . In addition, the components of the shock-absorbing foot pads 3, 3' are only the housing 31 and the The elastic element 32 and the housing 31 are integrally formed of rubber material. Therefore, compared with the prior art shown in FIG. 1 , the overall component parts are relatively simple and the production cost can be saved.
