Device arrangement
A device arrangement may include a casing surrounding a casing interior. The casing may include a viewing window which is sealed by a transparent window pane. An electronic device may be disposed in the casing interior and have a display. The display may be secured in a fixed position on the window pane. A suspension/damping device may support at least one of the window pane and the electronic device on the casing.
1. A device arrangement, comprising:
a casing surrounding a casing interior, the casing including a viewing window which is sealed by a transparent window pane,
an electronic device disposed in the casing interior and having a display, the display secured in a fixed position on the window pane, and
a suspension/damping device disposed within the casing interior and including a spring element supporting at least one of the window pane and the electronic device on the casing by biasing the window pane against a first side of the casting interior while providing space for movement relative to a second side of the casting interior, wherein the biasing includes the window pane being pretensioned against a casing wall via the suspension/damping device.
2. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the casing includes the casing wall bordering the viewing window, and
wherein the biasing further includes the electronic device being pretensioned against the casing wall via the suspension/damping device.
3. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the suspension/damping device includes at least one suspension/damping element composed of a resilient material.
4. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the window pane is mounted flexibly to withstand transient loads at the casing via the suspension/damping device by the window pane temporarily detaching from the casing in response to impact.
5. The device arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein the window pane is fitted to the casing without forming at least one of a bonded connection and an adhesive joint with the casing.
6. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the window pane is fitted to the casing without forming at least one of a bonded connection and an adhesive joint with the casing.
7. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the suspension/damping device includes at least one of:
at least one first suspension/damping element supporting the window pane resiliently on the casing, and
at least one second suspension/damping element supporting the electronic device resiliently on the casing.
8. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising another suspension/damping device at least partially extending around an exterior perimeter of the casing.
9. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing element arranged between the casing wall and the window pane, the sealing element sealing the casing interior of the casing from a surrounding environment.
10. The device arrangement according to claim 9 , wherein at least one of the sealing element circumferentially borders the viewing window and the suspension/damping device at least partially circumferentially borders the viewing window.
11. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the window pane is composed of at least one of a toughened glass and a transparent ceramic.
12. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the window pane is secured to the display of the electronic device via an adhesive layer, the adhesive layer including a transparent adhesive.
13. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the casing is composed of at least one of a metal and a plastic.
14. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a second suspension/damping device extending at least partially around an exterior perimeter of the casing, the second suspension/damping device including a resilient jacket defining a through opening in a region of the window pane.
15. The device arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the suspension/damping device includes at least one suspension/damping element composed of a resilient material, wherein the at least one suspension/damping element is arranged between the casing and at least one of the window pane and the electronic device.
16. A device arrangement, comprising:
a casing including a casing wall at least partially enclosing a casing interior, wherein the casing wall defines a viewing window;
a window pane composed of a transparent material secured at the viewing window to seal the casing interior from a surrounding environment;
an electronic device disposed in the casing interior, the electronic device including a display secured in a fixed position at the window pane; and
a suspension/damping device disposed in the casting interior and including a spring element supporting at least one of the window pane and the electronic device on the casing, the suspension/damping device including at least one suspension/damping element composed of a resilient material, wherein the at least one suspension/damping element is arranged between the casing wall and at least one of the window pane and the electronic device;
wherein the window pane is pretensioned against the casing wall via the at least one suspension/damping element.
17. The device arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the biasing further includes the electronic device being pretensioned against the casing wall via the suspension/damping device.
18. The device arrangement according to claim 17 , wherein the suspension/damping device includes at least one suspension/damping element composed of a resilient material.
19. The device arrangement according to claim 17 , wherein the window pane is fitted to the casing wall without forming at least one of a bonded connection and an adhesive joint with the casing wall.
20. The device arrangement according to claim 16 , wherein the window pane is flexibly mounted at the casing via the suspension/damping device to withstand transient loads by the window pane temporarily detaching from the casing in response to impact.
