Description

Hard disk fixture

The present invention relates to a hard disk fixing device.

In the conventional computer system, the fixing method of the removable hard disk is mostly screw fixing, and the tool is required when disassembling, which is very cumbersome; in addition, various vibrations in the system, such as fan vibration, may affect the performance of the hard disk, resulting in a hard disk. Access errors are not conducive to system stability.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a hard disk fixing device that is easy to assemble and disassemble and shockproof.

A hard disk fixing device for fixing a hard disk of a plurality of side walls respectively forming a plurality of mounting holes, the hard disk fixing device comprising a fixing frame and a shockproof bracket for accommodating the hard disk and made of an elastic material, the shockproof bracket The first and second side plates respectively form a sliding slot on the inner side, and the first and second side plates respectively form a sliding slot for receiving the locking nails of the mounting hole of the hard disk. The anti-vibration bracket of the hard disk slides along the two sliding slots into the fixing frame, and the rear ends of the first and second side plates respectively form a baffle for blocking the anti-vibration bracket, and one end of the locking member is rotatably mounted on the first side plate At the front end, the other end of the locking member can be fastened to the front end of the second side panel.

Compared with the prior art, the hard disk fixing device uses a shockproof bracket made of an elastic material to receive the hard disk, and is received in the fixing frame together with the hard disk. The structure is simple, the assembly and disassembly are convenient, and the system can be lightened. The impact of the vibration on the hard drive.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of the hard disk fixing device of the present invention is used for fixing a hard disk 1 having two mounting holes 12 on one side wall. The hard disk fixing device includes a fixing frame 2 and a shockproof bracket 3.

The fixing frame 2 includes a first side plate 20 and a second side plate 22 and a locking member 4 which are assembled in a parallel manner. In this embodiment, the bottoms of the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 22 are assembled on the bottom plate of the chassis. The first side plate 20 and the second side plate 22 are respectively vertically provided with a baffle 200 at the rear end. The inner side surfaces of the first side plate 20 and the second side plate 22 are respectively vertically disposed with two carrier plates, and a sliding slot 202 is formed between the two carrier plates. Two latching slots 204 are defined in the front end of the first side plate 20 corresponding to the sliding slot 202. A pivoting portion is formed between the two latching slots 204. The pivoting portion is provided with a through hole (not shown) in the vertical direction. The front end of the second side plate 22 corresponds to the sliding slot 202 to form a locking hole 206.

The locking member 4 is an elongated rod-shaped body, and one end thereof is formed with a pivoting portion pivotally connected to the first side plate 20, and the other end thereof extends vertically outward to form a locking piece 42. The pivoting portion includes two spaced apart protrusions 40, and the two protrusions 40 respectively define a through hole 400. A wedge-shaped block 422 is formed on the outer side of the latching piece 42, and a pair of anti-slip grooves 420 are formed at the end of the latching piece 42. A relief hole 44 is also formed in the middle of the locking member 4.

The anti-vibration bracket 3 is a square frame integrally formed of an elastic material. Two lock pins 30 are respectively disposed on inner sides of the two side walls of the anti-vibration bracket 3. A grip portion 32 is protruded from the outer side of the front wall of the front portion of the anti-vibration bracket 3, and the surface of the grip portion 32 forms a set of easy-to-operate anti-slip grooves 320. The end wall of the rear portion of the anti-vibration bracket 3 is provided with an opening through which the connector of the hard disk 1 passes. In this embodiment, the elastic material may be rubber or silicone.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 again, when assembling, the anti-vibration bracket 3 is first opened, and the hard disc 1 is placed in the anti-vibration bracket 3, so that the lock pins 30 of the anti-vibration bracket 3 respectively extend into the hard A mounting hole 12 corresponding to the disc 1 is used to fix the hard disc 1 to the anti-vibration mount 3.

The two protruding portions 40 of the locking member 4 are respectively inserted into the two slots 204 of the first side plate 20, and the through hole of the first side plate 20 and the lock are passed through the assembly shaft 6 from bottom to top. The through hole 400 of the protruding portion 40 of the fastener 4 is rotatably assembled to the first side plate 20.

The anti-vibration bracket 3 is inserted into the fixing bracket 2 along the sliding slot 202 of the first side panel 20 and the second side panel 22, and the rear side of the anti-vibration bracket 3 abuts against the first side panel 20 and the second side panel. 22 baffle 200. Then, the locking member 4 is rotated to the second side plate 22, and the locking block 422 of the locking piece 42 is locked into the locking hole 206 of the second side plate 22 to prevent the hard disk 1 from slipping out from the front end of the fixing frame 2. . The grip portion 32 of the anti-vibration mount 3 extends into the escape hole 44 of the lock member 4.

When the hard disk 1 needs to be taken out, the snap tab 42 is pressed in the direction of the first side plate 20 to release the card block 422 from the locking hole 206 of the second side plate 22. The locking member 4 is rotated in the direction of the first side plate 20, and the holding portion 32 of the anti-vibration bracket 3 is gripped to pull the anti-vibration bracket 3 together with the hard disk 1 out of the fixing frame 2. The hard disk 1 can be taken out by opening the anti-vibration bracket 3 so that the lock pins 30 are withdrawn from the mounting hole 12 of the hard disk 1.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
