Since each of the first bonding sheets on the carrier is coupled to the coupling portion of the corresponding coupling member, each second bonding sheet on the two brackets is coupled to the shock absorbing gasket of the corresponding bonding device, and the tray Each of the side plates of the crucible maintains a gap between each of its adjacent brackets. Therefore, the vibration from the casing and transmitted to the bracket will not be due to the shock absorbers and the gaps of the gaps. Very small amount is passed to the electronic device.

Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the shock absorbing gasket of each of the bonding devices has a ring groove, and the second bonding piece on each of the brackets has a notch, and each of the second bonding pieces is partially along the edge of the notch. The card is inserted into the ring groove of the corresponding shock absorbing washer.

Compared with the prior art, the shockproof extraction of the present invention effectively blocks the source from the machine by the above-mentioned bracket, the bracket, the combination device including the above elastic washer, and the gap remaining between the bracket and the brackets. The vibration of the casing ensures that the operation of the electronic device is not affected by the vibration.

Other inventive aspects and more detailed technical and functional descriptions of the present invention are disclosed in the following description.

The first figure shows a preferred embodiment of the extraction cassette 100 of the present invention. The extraction cassette 100 is internally used to carry an electronic device 200, such as a hard disk or an optical disk drive. The extraction cassette 100 can be inserted into the casing of the computer host or server and can be withdrawn from the casing.

As shown in the second figure, the extraction cassette 100 includes a tray 1, two brackets 2, and a plurality of bonding devices 3. The carrier 1 has a body 10 and two opposite side panels 11 extending from the body 10 and being parallel. Each of the two ends of the side plate 11 has a first bonding piece 12, and the two first bonding pieces 12 on the one side plate 11 are respectively opposite to the two first bonding pieces 12 on the other side plate 11. In this embodiment, the two side plates 11 of the tray 1 have slide rails slidably disposed in the sliding grooves on the opposite inner side walls of the casing. The slide rail can also be changed to a chute.

The two brackets 2 are located between the opposite side plates 11 of the tray 1 and are respectively coupled to opposite sides of the electronic device 200. Each of the two ends of each of the brackets 2 has a second bonding piece 21, and the positions of the second bonding pieces 21 respectively correspond to the first bonding pieces 12.

Each of the bonding devices 3 includes a coupling member 30 and a shock absorbing gasket 31. The shock absorbing gasket 31 is sleeved on the coupling member 30. The shock absorbing gasket 31 is an elastic rubber gasket for cushioning and shock absorbing, but may also be a spring.

The first, third, and fourth figures show the situation after the tray 1 and the two brackets 2 are combined by the combining devices 3. Each of the first bonding sheets 12 on the carrier 1 and each of the second bonding sheets 21 on the two brackets 1 are vertically connected to each other, and each corresponding first bonding sheet 12 and second The bonding sheets 21 are joined together by a bonding device 3. As shown in the third figure, each side panel 11 of the tray 1 and each adjacent bracket 2 thereof maintain a gap of about 0.5 mm to 1 mm, respectively, so that the tray 1 is not in contact with the two brackets 2. Therefore, the vibration from the casing and transmitted to the carrier 1 is not continuously transmitted to the electronic device 200 via the two brackets 2.

The fifth figure shows a case where one of the bonding devices 3 is combined with one of the first bonding sheets 12 and its corresponding second bonding sheet 21. In this embodiment, the coupling member 30 of the bonding device 3 can be a bolt having a body portion 300 and a coupling portion 301 extending from the body portion 300. The shock absorbing gasket 31 is sleeved on the body of the coupling member 30. Department 300. The first bonding piece 12 on the carrier 1 is bonded to the coupling section 301 of the corresponding bonding element 30, and the second bonding piece 21 on the bracket 2 is coupled to the corresponding shock absorbing gasket 31.

In this embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the shock absorbing gasket 31 of each of the bonding devices 3 has a ring groove 311, and the second bonding piece 21 on each of the brackets 2 has A U-shaped or C-shaped notch 210 (see the second figure), and each of the second bonding pieces 21 is partially embedded in the ring groove 311 of the corresponding shock absorbing gasket 31 along the edge 210a of the notch 210. Inside. In addition, the first bonding pieces 12 on each of the trays 1 respectively have a screw hole 120, and the coupling portion 301 of the coupling member 30 of each bonding device 3 is a threaded segment for screwing to the corresponding first bonding sheet 12. Inside the screw hole 120.

It can be seen from the configuration shown in FIG. 5 that a shock absorbing gasket 31 is interposed between each of the corresponding first bonding sheets 12 and the second bonding sheets 21, and the coupling member 30 and the first bonding sheet 12 are separated from each other. The shock absorbing gasket 31 is also interposed between the coupling member 30 and the second coupling piece 21, so that when the casing transmits vibration to the carrier 1 due to vibration, the The shock absorbing gasket 31 absorbs or buffers these vibrations so that these vibrations are not transmitted to the two brackets 2 and transferred to the electronic device 200. Furthermore, since each side panel 11 of the tray 1 maintains a gap between each of its adjacent brackets 2, the vibration transmitted to the tray 1 is not transmitted to the two brackets 2 by other conduits. In summary, the vibration from the casing and transmitted to the tray will be transmitted to the electronic device 200 in a small amount due to the shock absorbing gasket 31 and the gaps of the gaps.

The sixth and seventh figures show another preferred embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the extraction cassette 100a includes a tray 1, a carrier 2a, and a plurality of bonding devices 3. The carrier 1 and the bonding devices 3 are the same as described above, and are not described herein. As for the carrier 2a, it is located between the opposite side plates 11 of the carrier 1, and is coupled to the bottom surface of the electronic device 200 by a plurality of screws. The two opposite sides of the carrier 2a respectively correspond to the two side plates 11 of the carrier 1. The front and rear sides of the carrier 2a respectively have two second bonding pieces 21a, and the second bonding pieces 21a respectively correspond to two The first bonding sheet 12 on the side panel 11 is almost the same as the second bonding sheet 21 described above, and will not be described again. In this embodiment, the shock absorbing gasket 31 of the binding device 3 and the gap between the two sides of the carrier 1 and the carrier 2a are also blocked to prevent the transfer from the casing and to the carrier. The vibration of 1 continues to be transmitted to the electronic device 200. In addition, the carrier 2a further has a rear side of the carrier on which the slot 20a is located for the connector of the electronic device 200 to pass.

In any event, anyone can obtain sufficient teaching from the description of the above examples, and it is understood that the present invention is indeed different from the prior art, and is industrially usable and progressive. It is the invention that has indeed met the patent requirements and has filed an application in accordance with the law.
