  • The second fixed member may be a screw, and the supporting member comprises a second screw hole. The damper comprises a second through hole corresponding to the second screw hole. The second screw passes through the first through hole, and then enters into the second screw hole.
  • Note that hardness of the isolator is less than that of the damper.
  • Moreover, the supporting member comprises a first notch to receive the isolator. The first notch is C-shaped to prevent the isolator separating from the first notch. The isolator comprises a first groove combined with the first notch.
  • Similarly, the vibration absorber may comprise a second notch to receive the damper. The damper comprises a second groove combined with the second notch.

    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION First Embodiment
  • FIGS. 1 a-1 c are schematic views of a portable computer 100 as disclosed in a first embodiment of the invention. The portable computer 100 comprises a body 10, a module 20, two supporting members 30, four isolators 40, a frame 50, four dampers 60, four first fixed members 70, and four second fixed members 80. The supporting members 30, the isolators 40, the frame 50, the dampers 60, the first fixed member 70, and the second fixed members 80 constitute a shock absorber assembly of an embodiment of the invention.
  • The body 10 is a basic component of the portable computer 100, and comprises a receiving portion 11 with four first screw holes 12 therein. Additionally, the body 10 comprises other devices required by the portable computer 100. Such devices are not directly related to this invention, and detailed description thereof is thus omitted.
  • The module 20 is disposed in the body 10. Specifically, the module 20 is connected to the body 10 via the isolators 40 to enhance shock absorption thereof. Furthermore, it is understood that the module 20 may be a hard disc drive, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM that generates vibration and requires isolation from the exterior.
  • Each supporting member 30 supports the module 20, and is disposed thereon. Each supporting member 30 may be shaped like a support to receive the isolators 40. Additionally, each supporting member 30 is formed with two screw holes 31 and two notches 32. Each notch 32 is C-shaped to prevent the isolator 40 from separation therefrom. Furthermore, each supporting member 30 comprises two posts 33 corresponding to holes (not shown) at the bottom of the module 20. Each supporting member 30 is fixed to the module 20 by the posts 33 in the holes of the module 20.
  • Each isolator 40 reduces vibration of the portable computer 100, and comprises a through hole 41 at its center and a groove 42 at its periphery. Each isolator 40 is disposed on the supporting member 30 by the notch 32 combining with the groove 42. Furthermore, each isolator 40 is material with low coefficient of elasticity (K), such as silica gel. Thus, when the computer receives an external shock, the isolators 40 effectively isolate the shock, preventing the computer from damage. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 1 a, each isolator 40 may be a hollow cylindrical pad with minimized thickness to reduce the coefficient of elasticity. That is, the thickness in the radial direction of the cylindrical isolator 40 is minimized preferably.
  • The frame 50 absorbs vibration from the portable computer 100, and is disposed on the module 20. The frame 50 comprises two notches 51 on both sides. Each notch 51 is C-shaped to prevent the damper 60 from separating from the notch 51. It is understood that the frame 50 may be preferably made of metal with high mass, such that most vibration energy of the module is concentrated on the frame 50.
  • Each damper 60 reduces vibration from the portable computer 100, and comprises a through hole 61 at its center and a groove 62 at its periphery. Each damper 60 is disposed on the frame 50 by the notch 51 combining with the groove 62. Furthermore, each damper 60 is material with high coefficient of damping (C), such as silica gel. Thus, the vibration of the module 20 is transmitted to the frame 50 via the dampers 60. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 1 a, each damper 60 may be a hollow cylindrical pad with a maximized thickness to enhance damping.
  • Note that hardness of the isolator 40 is preferably less than that of the damper 60.
  • As shown in FIG. 1 a, each first fixed member 70 may be a screw entering into the screw hole 13 of the body 10 via the through hole 41 of the isolator 40. Thus, each first fixed member 70 passes through the isolator 40 to fix the module 20 in the body 10.
  • As shown in FIG. 1 a, each second fixed member 80 may be a screw entering into the screw hole 31 of the supporting member 30 via the through hole 61 of the damper 60. Thus, each second fixed member 80 passes through the damper 60 to fix the frame 50 in the supporting member 30.
  • During assembly of the portable computer 100, the dampers 60 are disposed on the frame 50 as shown in FIG. 2 b. Then, the second fixed members 80 fix the frame 50 in combination with the dampers 60 to the supporting members 30. The supporting members 30 are then combined with the module 20 and the isolators 40, as shown in FIG. 1 b. Finally, the first fixed members 70 fix the module 20 in combination with the frame 50 to the body 10, as shown in FIG. 1 c.
  • FIG. 3 a is a schematic view of a mathematical mode of a conventional portable computer 200 comprising a body 210, a module 220, and cushioning foam 230. The module 220 is disposed on the body 210 via the cushioning foam 230, whereby vibration between the module 220 and the body 210 is isolated by the damping 230 c and the elasticity 230 k of the vibration absorption foam 230. Thus, isolation is limited. FIGS. 3 b and 3 c are schematic views of a mathematical mode of a portable computer 100 as disclosed in embodiments of the invention. The module 20 is connected to the body 10 via the isolators 40, and to the frame 50 via the dampers 60. When external shock occurs, vibration between the module 20 and the body 10 is isolated by the damping 40 c and the elasticity 40 k of the isolators 40 as shown in FIG. 3 b. Thus, the shock can be isolated effectively by the isolators 40 to prevent the module 20 from damages. Furthermore, when the module 20 generates vibration during high-speed rotation, the vibration can be transmitted to the frame 50 via the damping 60 c and the elasticity 60 k of the dampers 60 to reduce the vibration of the module 20. That is, since most of the vibration energy of the module 20 is concentrated on the frame 50 so as to reduce the vibration of the module 20. Thus, the module 20 can be stably operated. Moreover, since the module 20 is connected to the body 10 via the isolators 40, the module 20 is not directly in contact with the body 10 no matter what position of the portable computer 100 is. Thus, the shock absorber assembly can be kept normal while the module can be stably operated so that the resonance and noise of the portable computer can be improved.
  • It is understood that, while the shock absorber assembly is here described in application to a portable computer, it is not limited thereto, and may be applied to other electronic apparatuses.
    • Second Embodiment
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic view of a portable computer 100 a as disclosed in a second embodiment of the invention. The portable computer 100 a comprises a body 10 a having a first module 11 a, a second module 20, two supporting members 30, four isolators 40, four dampers 60, four first fixed members 70, and four second fixed members 80. In this embodiment, elements the same as those of the first embodiment are labeled with the same references, and their description is omitted.
  • The body 10 a comprises the first module 11 a minimally affected by vibration in the portable computer 100 a, such as a battery frame for supporting batteries 112 a. The first module 11 a comprises four notches 111 a. The second module 20 is connected to the body 10 a via the isolator 40, and is connected to the first module 11 a via the damper 60.
  • The second module 20 may be a hard disc drive, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM that generates vibration and requires isolation from the exterior.
  • The module inherent in the portable computer replaces the frame of the first embodiment here. Thus, in this embodiment, the number, the required space, and the weight of the elements are reduced while the function of the first embodiment can be attained.
  • While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. To the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements (as would be apparent to those skilled in the art). Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.
