Abstract

The present invention discloses a shock proof structure for a storage device of an electronic device or more particularly to a shock proof structure being used on motor vehicles or in environments with strong vibration or shocks. The structure has a housing and inside the housing is a shock proof rack with an indented storage space for fixing the storage device. The first and second buffer elements are installed on the periphery and edges of the shock proof rack, so that the shock proof rack is suspended in the housing, thereby bringing about shock proof effect with the buffering action of the first and the second buffer elements.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A shock proof structure for a storage device of an electronic device, comprising:
 a housing, formed by a base structure and an upper lid with support pillars on the edges of the base structure and corresponding protruded pillars on the upper lid;   a shock proof rack, installed on the support pillars with a storage space for placing the storage device, and having corresponding embedded grooves on the periphery of the storage space of the shock proof rack and penetrating holes corresponding to the support pillars;   more than one first buffer elements, embedded in the embedded groove;   more than one second buffer elements, cushioned at the periphery of the penetrating holes;   more than one fastening elements, passed through the support pillars, the second buffer elements and penetrating holes, and fastened on the protruded pillars to integrate the upper lid with the base structure, so that shocks of the housing can be buffered by the second buffer elements and minimize shocks to the shock proof rack, thereby achieving a shock proof effect; and   more than one fastening elements, passed through the embedded groove and the first buffer elements and fastened to the storage device on the storage space, thereby strengthening the shock proof effect by the buffering action of the first buffer elements.   
   
   
       2 . The shock proof structure for a storage device of an electronic device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the first and second buffer elements are rubber rings. 
   
   
       3 . The shock proof structure for a storage device of an electronic device as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a pillar structure disposed on the lateral inner side of the support pillars at the base structure and a corresponding embedded structure disposed on the upper lid, so that when the embedded structure passes through a circuit board underneath the shock proof rack, the upper lid fastened with the base structure presses directly on the pillar structure to fix the circuit board onto a desired position. 
   
   
       4 . The shock proof structure for a storage device of an electronic device as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the head of the fastening element rests on a cushion.
