Description

REMOVABLE CARRIER FOR PROTECTING A HARD DISK DRIVE FORM SHOCK}

The present invention relates to a removable carrier for a hard disk drive, and more particularly, to a mobile career having an anti-vibration structure that protects the hard disk drive from impact.

Along with the development of computer-related technologies, mass storage media for storing a large amount of data are also developing. Hard disk drives have recently reached hundreds to hundreds of gigabytes of storage, initially ranging from hundreds to hundreds of megabytes of storage. Hard disk drives store data by magnetic recording methods. As storage capacity increases, magnetic density increases to record more data in a smaller area.

Hard disk drives are inherently vulnerable in that the magnetic recording head may damage the disk by external shock. To this end, manufacturers of hard disk drives employ an anti-vibration structure in the actuator arm of the hard disk drive to respond to external shocks, but hard disk drives are not effectively protected from strong external shocks.

Hard disk drives are widely used in information processing devices such as personal computers, large-capacity computers, game consoles, digital video recorders, and the like. These devices sometimes employ a protective structure to protect the hard disk from external shocks. As a technique for protecting a hard disk drive from shock, there is a fixing device of a hard disk drive filed a utility model application dated May 28, 1988. This technology installs a number of elastomers inside the bracket where the hard disk drive is mounted to protect the hard disk drive from external shocks.

On the other hand, there is provided a mobile career in which a hard disk drive can be detached from the device. The mobile career has been standardized by mounting a hard disk drive to the main body of the device. However, in the case of the mobile career, the mobile careers currently provided do not consider the anti-vibration structure, and thus the mobile careers do not effectively protect the hard disk drive from external shock.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, the object is to provide a mobile career that can protect the hard disk drive from external shock.

In order to achieve the above object, a mobile career detachable to a fixed frame fixedly installed in a system main body using the hard disk drive of the present invention as a storage medium includes: an upper / lower case and a front / rear frame for accommodating the hard disk drive. A career housing configured; Brackets longitudinally mounted to both sides of the hard disk drive; A plurality of first cushioning means for vibration-insulating and connecting the hard disk drive and the bracket; And a plurality of second cushioning means for securing the bracket to the lower case and vibration-insulating the bracket so that the hard disk drive has a predetermined distance from the lower case, and is doubled by the first and second buffer means connected in series to the hard disk. Vibration isolation protects the hard disk drive from external shocks.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the bracket is bent 'b', the bent vertical surface is mounted to the hard disk drive by the first cushioning means, the bent horizontal surface is lowered to the lower case by the second buffer means It is fixed.

In this embodiment, the first shock absorbing means is composed of a ring-shaped shock absorbing member each mounted in a plurality of holes formed in the vertical side of the bracket, the shock absorbing member being coupled to the hard disk drive by a plurality of bolts. The second shock absorbing means is composed of a plurality of holes formed on the horizontal side of the bracket and a plurality of fixing supports provided on the lower case at a position corresponding to the holes, respectively, and a central portion of the shock absorbing bolt formed of a shock absorbing member.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the front frame is equipped with a key bundle for locking / unlocking the moving career to the fixed frame on one side of the front.

(Example)

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein and may be embodied in other forms within the spirit of the present invention. The embodiments introduced herein are provided so that the disclosure may be made thorough and complete, and to fully convey the spirit of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

1 is a view showing a removable structure of a moving career according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a perspective view showing an enlarged moving career of FIG.

Referring to the drawings, the mobile career 30 of the present invention is detachably provided to a system main body 10 using a hard disk drive as a storage medium, for example, a personal computer, a game machine, a digital video recorder, and the like. The front frame 12 of the system main body 10 is provided with a fixed frame 20 for removing the moving career 30. As will be described later, the mobile career 30 of the present invention employs a buffer structure to effectively protect the hard disk drive from external shock.
