Multi-Element Shock Absorber for Electronic Support Vibration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shock absorbing structures for electronic device supports, primarily using single rubber shock absorbers, are inadequate in effectively cushioning shocks and reducing damage to intelligent devices in mobile scenarios.
Innovation Solution
A shock absorbing device comprising a tower spring as the primary shock absorbing element, paired with multiple shock absorbing silicones and shock absorbing springs, which are connected through universal connectors and mother and child limit screws to distribute and absorb shock effectively.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single rubber shock absorber is used, then the structure is simple, but the shock absorbing effect is poor
Solution Approach 1:
The shock absorbing device is divided into multiple independent shock absorbing elements (first shock absorbing element, second shock absorbing element, third shock absorbing element) arranged in parallel between the upper and lower shock absorbing covers. Each element consists of multiple shock absorbing components (first, second, third shock absorbing components) that work independently to provide cumulative shock absorption, transforming a single weak absorber into a segmented multi-component system for enhanced protection.
Solution Approach 2:
The shock absorbing elements combine multiple different shock absorbing components (including but not limited to rubber materials, spring structures, and damping elements) within each element. This composite approach leverages the complementary characteristics of different materials and structures to achieve superior shock absorption performance that exceeds the sum of individual components, directly addressing the insufficiency of single-material rubber absorbers.
2Reliability
If multiple shock absorbing elements are added, then the shock absorbing effect is enhanced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The upper and lower shock absorbing covers serve multiple functions: they provide structural support, house multiple shock absorbing elements, distribute shock forces across all elements, and offer mounting interfaces (universal connectors) for attaching to electronic devices. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional specialized components, allowing enhanced shock absorption without proportionally increasing overall device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple shock absorbing components are nested within each shock absorbing element (first, second, third shock absorbing components within first element; similar nesting in second and third elements). This nested arrangement allows compact packaging of complex multi-component structures within a confined space, enabling enhanced shock absorption capability without excessive increase in device volume or structural complexity.

Function Achieved in This Case
The combination of a tower spring and shock absorbing silicones with springs provides enhanced shock absorption, reducing rigid shock transfer and maintaining durability over time, effectively protecting electronic devices from shock damage.
Implementation Method 1
a tower spring is matched with a plurality of shock absorbing silicones to effectively reduce the shock transfer between the upper shock absorbing cover and the lower shock absorbing cover
Implementation Method 2
the upper shock absorbing cover and the lower shock absorbing cover are connected with each other through the secondary shock absorbing element, and universal connectors are arranged at the top of the upper shock absorbing cover and the bottom of the lower shock absorbing cover

AI summary
A shock absorbing device comprises a shock absorbing device body, which comprises an upper shock absorbing cover and a lower shock absorbing cover, a primary shock absorbing element and a secondary shock absorbing element located on the outside of a circle of the primary shock absorbing element are arranged between the upper shock absorbing cover and the lower shock absorbing cover; a tower spring is matched with a plurality of shock absorbing silicones to effectively reduce the shock transfer between the upper shock absorbing cover and the lower shock absorbing cover; the upper shock absorbing cover and the lower shock absorbing cover are not directly connected with mother and child limit screws, but are connected with the mother and child limit screws through the shock absorbing silicones; a shock absorbing spring can assist the shock absorbing silicones to buffer the shock and shape the shock absorbing silicone.
