Abstract
An exemplary of an anti-vibration hard disk drive assembly includes a hard disk drive, a bracket containing the hard disk drive, a rack supporting the hard disk drive and the bracket, and an elastic structure disposed between the bracket and the rack. The rack includes a pair of rails supporting the bracket thereon. The elastic structure is disposed between the bracket and the pair of rails of the rack, whereby a vibration caused operation of the hard disk drive can be absorbed by the elastic structure.
Claims15
An anti-vibration hard disk drive assembly comprising:
- a hard disk drive;
- a bracket containing the hard disk drive;
- a rack comprising a pair of rails supporting the bracket thereon;
- and
- a pair of elastic structures;
- wherein each elastic structure is disposed between the bracket and a corresponding one of the rails of the rack, whereby a vibration caused during operation of the hard disk drive can be absorbed by the elastic structure;
- and
- wherein the elastic structure comprises a strip and a plurality of dampers, the dampers can be compressed or distorted along a direction perpendicular to the strip, and the strip is pasted to a bottom portion of the bracket.
An anti-vibration hard disk drive assembly comprising:
- a hard disk drive;
- a bracket comprising a chassis and two sidewalls connected to two opposite edges of the chassis, the hard disk drive being received in a space defined by the two sidewalls and the chassis;
- and
- a rack comprising a pair of rails, the two sidewalls of the bracket being capable of sliding along the pair of rails, respectively;
- wherein an elastic structure is disposed between a bottom of each of the sidewalls of the bracket and a corresponding rail of the rack, whereby a vibration caused during operation of the hard disk drive can be absorbed by the elastic structure;
- and
- wherein the elastic structure comprises a strip and a plurality of dampers, the dampers can be compressed or distorted along a direction perpendicular to the strip, and the strip is pasted to the bottom of the corresponding sidewall of the bracket.
An anti-vibration hard disk drive assembly comprising:
- a hard disk drive;
- a bracket containing the hard disk drive;
- a rack supporting the bracket;
- and
- a pair of elastic structures disposed between the bracket and the rack to thereby absorb any vibration caused during operation of the hard disk drive;
- wherein each of the elastic structures comprises a strip pasted to a bottom portion of the bracket and a plurality of dampers, and each of the dampers can be compressed or distorted along a direction perpendicular to the strip.
