Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer chassis technology, and in particular to a shockproof computer chassis suitable for industrial environments. Background Technology

[0002] Computers are devices used in modern life to perform any sequence of arithmetic or logical operations. This includes not only home computers but also industrial control computers specifically designed for factory environments. Typically, factory environments are harsh, and industrial control computers are susceptible to factors such as continuous vibrations from machine operation, dust accumulation, and temperature fluctuations. These problems can lead to loosening of internal components, poor contact, and even shortened hardware lifespan, thereby affecting the continuity and stability of industrial production.

[0003] In the prior art, such as in publication number CN216083612U, a high-strength industrial control computer chassis is disclosed. It includes a chassis body and a first protective bar. Two first protective bars are provided. The surface and rear of the chassis body are fixedly connected to a limiting cylinder by a fixing plate. The second protective bar is slidably inserted into the inside of the limiting cylinder, thereby effectively protecting the chassis and making it more suitable for harsh environments, preventing impacts and collisions from external objects. At the same time, these protective bars can be disassembled individually, which facilitates maintenance and carrying of the chassis by the staff, greatly improving the durability and portability of the computer.

[0004] While the aforementioned patent provides protection for the computer case by incorporating protective bars, computer cases in industrial environments often lack structures capable of cushioning vibrations. Prolonged vibration can cause the internal hardware of the computer case to loosen or become damaged. Furthermore, this case does not offer protection against injuries caused by objects falling from above. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a shockproof computer chassis suitable for industrial environments, so as to solve one or more problems in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A shockproof computer chassis suitable for industrial environments includes a chassis body and a base disposed at the bottom of the chassis body. Shockproof components are also disposed evenly between the chassis body and the base. The shockproof components include a first buffer part and a second buffer part. The first buffer part cooperates with the second buffer part to realize multi-level shockproofing of the chassis body. A protective component is also disposed on the upper part of the chassis body.

[0008] Furthermore, the first buffer part includes a bracket disposed on the base, and mounting plates are respectively connected to both ends of the bracket. One end of the mounting plate is fixed to the housing body, and the other end is fixed to the base.

[0009] Furthermore, the first buffer part includes a hydraulic rod disposed at the center of the bracket along a first direction, and a top block is connected to the upper part of the hydraulic rod, one end of the top block being fixed to the box body.

[0010] Furthermore, the first buffer portion also includes a first elastic element sleeved on the hydraulic rod, with one end of the first elastic element abutting against the bracket and the other end abutting against the top block.

[0011] Furthermore, the second buffer section is symmetrically arranged about the top block, and the second buffer section includes a rotating block, which is respectively disposed on the top block and the mounting plates on both sides.

[0012] Furthermore, the rotating block includes a fixing member and a movable member rotatably fitted to the fixing member, the fixing member being fixed to the top block and the mounting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the second buffer also includes an adjustment assembly, which is located between the top block and the mounting plate on each side, and both ends of the second buffer are connected to the movable member.

[0014] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a sleeve, a second elastic element, and a slide rod. One end of the sleeve is connected to the movable part of the rotating block located at the top block. The second elastic element is disposed inside the sleeve and one end is fixed to the sleeve. The slide rod is slidably disposed inside the sleeve and one end is connected to one end of the second elastic element. The other end of the slide rod is connected to the movable part of the rotating block located at the mounting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the protective component includes an airbag fixed to the top surface of the housing body, and an inflation component is connected to the airbag, including a one-way valve, a hose, and an inflation ball. One end of the one-way valve is connected to the airbag, and the other end is connected to the hose. One end of the hose is also connected to the inflation ball.

[0016] Furthermore, a magnetic ring assembly is fixed to the top of the airbag, and a detachable buffer net is also fitted to the top of the magnetic ring assembly.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] (I) This new type of shockproof component can effectively disperse and absorb the external impact force on the chassis body by the coordinated arrangement of the first buffer part and the second buffer part. The first buffer part, through the cooperation of the top block, the first elastic element and the hydraulic rod, initially alleviates the vibration when the chassis body is vibrated by the elastic deformation of the first elastic element and the action of the hydraulic rod. The adjustment component in the second buffer part further optimizes the buffering effect. The movement of the top block in the first buffer part causes the movable part of the rotating block to drive the slide rod to slide in the sleeve, thereby causing the second elastic element to expand and contract and deform accordingly, further absorbing and buffering the vibration, and realizing multi-level shockproof.

[0019] (II) This new type of protective assembly, through the cooperation of airbag, inflation assembly, magnetic ring assembly and buffer net, allows objects falling from above to first disperse the impact force by the buffer net, and then further absorb energy through the elastic deformation of the magnetic ring assembly and the compression deformation of the airbag. At the same time, the inflation assembly inflates the airbag to adjust its air pressure to adapt to different impact intensities, thereby achieving multi-level buffer protection for the top of the cabinet body and preventing objects from above from damaging the cabinet structure.

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment of a shockproof computer chassis suitable for industrial environments includes a chassis body 1 and a base 2 disposed at the bottom of the chassis body 1. Shock-absorbing components 3 are evenly distributed between the chassis body 1 and the base 2. These shock-absorbing components 3 effectively buffer vibrations and impacts that may occur in the industrial environment. In this embodiment, two shock-absorbing components 3 are disposed between the chassis body 1 and the base 2. Specifically, each shock-absorbing component 3 includes a first buffer part 31 and a second buffer part 32. The first buffer part 31 cooperates with the second buffer part 32 to achieve multi-level shock absorption for the chassis body 1.

[0028] Furthermore, the first buffer part 31 includes a bracket 311 disposed on the base 2, with mounting plates 312 respectively connected to both ends of the bracket 311. One end of the mounting plate 312 is fixed to the housing body 1, and the other end is fixed to the base 2. The mounting plates 312 can distribute the weight of the housing body 1 to the base 2, while providing a stable support frame for the first buffer part 31. In this application, the mounting plate 312 is made of flexible material. In addition to supporting the housing body 1, it can also adapt to deformation and adjustment under the vibration of the housing body 1 in an industrial vibration environment, thereby realizing the change of distance between the housing body 1 and the base 2 under vibration environment, so as to trigger the function of the first buffer part 31 and the second buffer part 32.

[0029] Furthermore, the first buffer portion 31 includes a hydraulic rod 313 disposed at the center of the support 311 along a first direction, and a top block 314 is connected to the upper part of the hydraulic rod 313. One end of the top block 314 is fixed to the housing body 1. The first buffer portion 31 also includes a first elastic member 315 sleeved on the hydraulic rod 313. One end of the first elastic member 315 abuts against the support 311, and the other end of the first elastic member 315 abuts against the top block 314. In this application, the first elastic member 315 is configured in a pre-compressed state when not subjected to industrial vibration. When subjected to industrial environmental vibration, the vibration energy is transmitted through the base 2 to the mounting plate 312 and the bracket 311. The housing body 1 experiences vertical vibration through the force transmission of the mounting plate 312, the hydraulic rod 313, and the top block 314. At this time, the top block 314 and the first elastic element 315 undergo compression deformation due to the vibration of the housing body 1 and the bracket 311. The top block 314 moves and acts on the first elastic element 315, which, together with the damping effect of the hydraulic rod 313, buffers the impact force in the first direction and effectively attenuates the vibration energy along the height direction, thus serving as the first level of vibration protection for the anti-vibration component 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the second buffer portion 32 is symmetrically arranged about the top block 314. The second buffer portion 32 includes a rotating block 321, which is respectively disposed on the top block 314 and the mounting plates 312 on both sides. The rotating block 321 includes a fixing member 3211 and a movable member 3212 rotatably engaged with the fixing member 3211. The fixing member 3211 is fixed to the top block 314 and the mounting plate 312. The second buffer section 32 further includes an adjustment component 322, which is located between the top block 314 and the mounting plates 312 on each side. Both ends of the second buffer section 32 are connected to the movable component 3212. Therefore, when the top block 314 of the first buffer section 31 moves, the fixing component 3211 of the rotating block 321 located on the top block 314 moves with the top block 314. Based on the cooperation between the movable component 3212 and the fixing component 3211, the movable component 3212 rotates around the fixing component 3211, thereby causing the adjustment component 322 to extend, retract, or swing accordingly. Simultaneously, since the second buffer section 32 is symmetrically arranged about the top block 314, the adjustment components 322 on both sides can evenly distribute the impact force, preventing the top block 314 from shifting during movement and ensuring the stability and balanced buffering effect of the entire buffer structure.

[0031] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly 322 includes a sleeve 3221, a second elastic element 3222, and a sliding rod 3223. One end of the sleeve 3221 is connected to the movable part 3212 of the rotating block 321 located at the top block 314. The second elastic element 3222 is disposed inside the sleeve 3221 and fixed at one end to the sleeve 3221. The sliding rod 3223 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 3221 and connected at one end to the second elastic element 3222. The other end of the sliding rod 3223 is connected to the movable part 3212 of the rotating block 321 located at the mounting plate 312. When the top block 314 drives the fixing part 3211 of the rotating block 321 to move, the movable part 3212 rotates around the fixing part 3211, thereby generating a pushing and pulling action on the sleeve 3221. Under thrust, the slide rod 3223 slides inward into the sleeve 3221, compressing the second elastic element 3222 and accumulating elastic potential energy. Under tension, the slide rod 3223 slides outward from the sleeve 3221, stretching the second elastic element 3222 and accumulating elastic potential energy. Simultaneously, the slide rod 3223, through its connection with the movable part 3212 of the rotating block 321 at the mounting plate 312, provides a movement path for the slide rod 3223 and the sleeve 3221, improving the adaptability of the second buffer section 32. This structural design allows the adjustment assembly 322 to further absorb and buffer the impact force transmitted from the top block 314 through the expansion and contraction deformation of the second elastic element 3222, while simultaneously achieving stable shock absorption protection for the housing body 1 through the rotational effect of the rotating block 321, serving as the second level of shock absorption for the shock-absorbing assembly 3.

[0032] Once the vibration subsides, the second elastic element 3222 releases its accumulated elastic potential energy, causing the slide bar 3223 to slide in the opposite direction along its original path, gradually restoring the relative position of the sleeve 3221 and the slide bar 3223 to their initial state. During this process, the movable element 3212 of the rotating block 321 also rotates in the opposite direction around the fixed element 3211 as the slide bar 3223 resets, while the top block 314 returns to its original position. Ultimately, the entire structure of the first buffer part 31 and the second buffer part 32 is in a stable state as before, preparing for the next possible vibration impact.

[0033] In this embodiment, two rotating blocks 321 are symmetrically arranged on the top block 314, and each of the two rotating blocks 321 is connected to a sleeve 3221. In other embodiments, one rotating block 321 is arranged on the top block 314, and the effect of the second buffer part 32 of this application can also be achieved by connecting two top blocks 314 to one rotating block 321.

[0034] By coordinating the first buffer section 31 and the second buffer section 32, compared with traditional single damping elements such as springs or rubber pads, more refined vibration gradation attenuation can be achieved, and multi-directional vibration impacts can be dispersed, making it particularly suitable for vibration spectrum in industrial environments.

[0035] A protective component 4 is also provided on the upper part of the box body 1. The protective component 4 includes an airbag 41 fixed to the top surface of the box body 1. An inflation component 42 is also connected to the airbag 41, including a one-way valve 421, a hose 422, and an inflation ball 423. One end of the one-way valve 421 is connected to the airbag 41, and the other end of the hose 422 is connected to the inflation ball 423. In use, gas can be forced into the airbag 41 through the hose 422 and the one-way valve 421 by pressing the inflation ball 423, causing the airbag 41 to inflate to a preset volume and form an elastic buffer layer covering the top surface of the box body 1. A magnetic ring assembly 43 is fixedly attached to the top of the airbag 41. Preferably, the magnetic ring assembly 43 is composed of multiple concentric ring magnets stacked on top. A detachable buffer net 44 is also attached to the top of the magnetic ring assembly 43, allowing for quick installation and removal through the magnetic attraction of the magnetic ring assembly 43. The buffer net 44 effectively disperses external impact pressure and prevents small debris from entering the surface of the airbag 41 and affecting the cushioning effect. When the chassis is impacted by a falling object, the buffer net 44 first disperses the impact force and absorbs part of the energy through the interlayer elastic displacement of the magnetic ring assembly 43. The remaining impact force is transmitted to the airbag 41, causing it to compress and deform. The air pressure inside the airbag 41 is dynamically adjusted by the inflation ball 423 and the one-way valve 421, forming a reverse support force to buffer the impact, thereby achieving multiple protections for the chassis body 1.

[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
