DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.

[0015] In addition, the terms used in the invention, such as technical and scientific terms, have its own meanings and can be comprehended by those skilled in the art, unless the terms are additionally defined in the invention. That is, the terms used in the following paragraphs should be read on the meaning commonly used in the related fields and will not be overly explained, unless the terms have a specific meaning in the invention.

[0016] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, there are shown a perspective view, a partial exploded view, and an exploded view of a vibration absorbing assembly 10 according to one embodiment of the invention and a cable.

[0017] In this embodiment, the vibration absorbing assembly 10 is adapted to be disposed on an object, such as a cable 20. The vibration absorbing assembly 10 includes a mount frame 100 and a flexible covering component 200. The mount frame 100 includes a first part 110 and a second part 120. The second part 120 is detachably assembled with the first part 110, such that the first part 110 and the second part 120 together form an accommodation space S1 therebetween.

[0018] Specifically, the mount frame 100 may further include a flexible connection part 130. A side of the first part 110 and a side of the second part 120 are connected to each other via the flexible connection part 130. The mount frame 100 may further include a plurality of first fastening parts 140 and a plurality of second fastening parts 150. The first fastening parts 140 are disposed at another side 111 of the first part 110 located away from the flexible connection part 130. The second fastening parts 150 are disposed at another side 121 of the second part 120 located away from the flexible connection part 130. The second fastening parts 150 are respectively and detachably fastened with the first fastening parts 140, such that the first part 110 and the second part 120 together form the accommodation space S1.

[0019] In this embodiment, the first fastening parts 140 are engagement blocks, and the second fastening parts 150 are engagement holes; but the forms of the first fastening parts 140 and the second fastening parts 150 are not restricted and may be modified as required;

[0020] in some other embodiments, the first fastening parts and the second fastening parts may be assembled with each other via any suitable means, such as a screw or a magnet.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first part 110 may have a plurality of through holes 112, and the second part 120 may have a plurality of through holes 122. The through holes 112 and 122 can reduce the overall weight and rigidity of the vibration absorbing assembly 10 so as to increase the vibration absorbing effect of the vibration absorbing assembly 10.

[0022] Note that the quantities of the through holes 112 and 122, the first fastening parts 140, and the second fastening parts 150 are not restricted in the invention and may be modified as required; in some other embodiments, the first part may have only one through hole, the second part may have only one through hole, and the mount frame may include only one first fastening part and only one second fastening part.

[0023] When there is no force applied on the flexible covering component 200, the flexible covering component 200 may be a curved plate body, but the invention is not limited thereto; in some other embodiments, the flexible covering component may be a flat plate body. The flexible covering component 200 is located in the accommodation space S1. The flexible covering component 200 has a first side 210 and a second side 220 located opposite to each other. The first side 210 of the flexible covering component 200 is pressed by the first part 110, and the second side 220 of the flexible covering component 200 is pressed by the second part 120, such that the flexible covering component 200 surrounds a covering space S2. The covering space S2 is configured to accommodate the cable 20.

[0024] In this embodiment, the flexible covering component 200 can be rapidly disposed on a desired position where the cable 20 or another object suitable for the installation of the flexible covering component 200 is located via the mount frame 100 for absorbing the vibration. In addition, the size of the vibration absorbing assembly 10 and the thickness and the material of the flexible covering component 200 can be rapidly modified according to the result of the vibration simulation. Therefore, compared to a case that uses cushion or the like for absorbing the vibration, using the vibration absorbing assembly 10 can save time spending on cutting the cushion or the like into adequate sizes, adjusting its position, and adhering it on the desired position. In detail, referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a schematic view of a server 1 including the vibration absorbing assembly 10 in FIG. 1. The server 1 includes a casing 2, a storage module 3, a fan module 4, and the vibration absorbing assembly 10. The storage module 3 is disposed on the casing 2. The fan module 4 is disposed on the casing 2 and spaced apart from the storage module 3. In general, during the operation of the server 1, the vibration generated by the fan module 4 may be transmitted to the storage module 3 via the cable 20 located between the fan module 4 and the storage module 3 so as to adversely affect the performance of the storage module 3. At this case, the vibration absorbing assembly 10 can be stacked on the casing 2 and rapidly installed on the cable 20 located between the fan module 4 and the storage module 3 by wrapping the flexible covering component 200 on the cable 20 via the mount frame 100. As a result, the vibration absorbing assembly 10 can be installed on the desired position in a convenient manner and prevent the vibration generated by the fan module 4 from transmitting to the storage module 3.

[0025] According to the vibration absorbing assembly and the server as discussed in the above embodiments, the flexible covering component can be rapidly disposed on a desired position where the cable or another object suitable for the installation of the flexible covering component is located via the mount frame for absorbing the vibration. In addition, the size of the vibration absorbing assembly and the thickness and the material of the flexible covering component can be rapidly modified according to the result of the vibration simulation. Therefore, compared to a case that uses cushion or the like for absorbing the vibration, using the vibration absorbing assembly can save time spending on cutting the cushion or the like into adequate sizes, adjusting its position, and adhering it on the desired position.

[0026] In one embodiment, the server (i.e., electronic device) disclosed by the invention can be applied to artificial intelligence (AI) computing, edge computing and can be used as 5G server, cloud computing server, or internet of vehicle server.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention. It is intended that the specification and examples be considered as exemplary embodiments only, with a scope of the invention being indicated by the following claims and their equivalents.
