Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an anti-falling mechanism for preventing an electronic component installed inside a casing from falling rapidly. The anti-falling mechanism includes at least one damping gear and at least one gear rack. The at least one damping gear is disposed on the electronic component. The at least one gear rack is disposed at a position corresponding to the at least one damping gear. The at least one damping gear rotatably engages with the at least one gear rack when installing the electronic component inside the casing along a first direction at least. Therefore, even if the electronic component falls unintentionally during installation or disassembly, rotary engagement of the at least one damping gear and the at least one gear rack can reduce kinetic energy of the falling electronic component, which effectively prevents the electronic component from colliding with other components inside the casing.
