Background

The storage device can generate heat in the use process, if the heat is not timely dissipated, the storage device can be heated continuously, so that the storage device works in a high-temperature environment, and the working state of the storage device is affected. Currently, heat sinks are often used to speed up the heat dissipation of the storage device, and the heat sink needs to be fixed. In the prior art, a fixing mode shown in fig. 1 is often adopted to fix the radiator.

As shown in fig. 1, the storage device includes a housing 110, a PCB board 120, a heat sink 130, and screws 140, the PCB board 120 being located in the housing 110, the housing 110 having a plurality of elongated holes 111 extending up and down (height) and penetrating inside and outside on opposite side walls, the heat sink 130 having a corresponding number of screw holes on opposite side walls, and the heat sink 130 being inserted into the housing 110 from the top of the housing 110, each screw hole being opposite to a corresponding elongated hole 111, and the screws 140 passing through the elongated holes 111 and being screwed into the corresponding screw holes, thereby fixing the heat sink 130 with the housing 110. A heat dissipation pad may be disposed between the bottom of the housing 110 and the PCB 120, and may be disposed between the PCB 120 and the heat sink 130, and the up-down position of the heat sink 130 may be adjusted along the direction of the long hole 111, so that the heat sink 130 and the PCB 120 compress the heat dissipation pad and the bottom of the PCB 120 and the housing 110 compress the heat dissipation pad.

Fixing the heat sink 130 to the housing 110 requires multiple left and right adjustments of the position of the heat sink 130 so that each threaded hole of the heat sink 130 is aligned with a corresponding elongated hole 111 in the housing 110 in the left and right directions to facilitate screwing in the screw 140. However, even though the screw holes correspond to the corresponding long holes 111, the heat sink 130 is slightly moved during the process of screwing the screws 140, and the screw holes are dislocated from the corresponding long holes 111, so that the difficulty of assembling and positioning the heat sink 130 is increased, the problems of inconvenient assembly, difficult screwing of the screws 140, and the like are caused, and the assembly labor cost is increased.

In addition, since the long holes 111 are formed in the side wall of the housing 110, the heat sink 130 is positioned by the screws 140 in the height direction of the housing 110, which causes uncertainty in the height direction of the housing 110, and thus causes poor contact of the heat sink pad, thereby affecting heat dissipation of the storage device.

The heat sink 230 is used for heat conduction and dissipation, and has one or more sliding buckles 231 protruding from the side walls on the two opposite side walls, each sliding buckle 231 is used for being clamped into the sliding groove 211 of the housing 210, and a screw hole 232 is arranged at a designated position of at least one sliding buckle 231 for screwing in a screw 240.

Optionally, the heat sink 230 is generally rectangular in shape and sized to fit standard memory devices (e.g., memory devices of the M.2 standard, which is the electrical interface specification for the form factor and pins of the computer's internal expansion card and associated connector). Optionally, the top of the heat sink 230 has a plurality of grooves recessed downward to increase the heat dissipation area of the heat sink 230.

For convenience of description, a rectangular coordinate system is established as shown in fig. 2. The width direction of the heat sink 230 is the X-axis direction, the length direction of the heat sink 230 is the Y-axis direction, the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction define the direction of the plane in which the heat sink 230 is located, the height direction of the heat sink 230 is the Z-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction is the direction perpendicular to the plane in which the heat sink 230 is located. The X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction and the Z-axis direction are perpendicular to each other.

Still alternatively, all the sliding snaps 231 on each side wall parallel to the Y-axis are aligned in a row in the same direction as the Y-axis. Alternatively, two sliding buckles 231 are provided on each side wall parallel to the Y-axis, and the two sliding buckles 231 are arranged in a row identical to the Y-axis direction and are sequentially arranged along the Y-axis direction. For example, one slide latch 231 is near one side of the heat sink 230 away from the Y-axis direction, and the other slide latch 231 is near the other side of the heat sink 230 near the Y-axis direction.

Alternatively, one side wall parallel to the Y axis has a threaded hole 232, the threaded hole 232 extends along the X axis direction, and the other side wall parallel to the Y axis is not provided with the threaded hole 232, so that the heat sink 230 and the housing 210 can be fixedly connected by only one screw 240, and the use of the screw 240 is reduced.

For example, the sliding groove 211 has no notch along the top in the negative Y-axis direction, the sliding groove 211 has a notch along the top in the positive Y-axis direction, which notch will hereinafter be referred to as an installation notch, so that the slide fastener 231 of the heat sink 230 protrudes into the sliding groove 211 from the installation notch of the sliding groove 211 at the time of assembly, and then the heat sink 230 is moved in the negative Y-axis direction, so that the slide fastener 231 slides in the negative Y-axis direction to a portion of the sliding groove 211 where there is no notch, and finally the slide fastener 231 is caught at a portion of the sliding groove 211 where there is no notch.

Still alternatively, the screw holes 232 are located at designated positions of the corresponding slide snaps 231, thereby facilitating the operation.

For example, in the YZ plane, the specified position needs to satisfy the condition that the included angle between the Y-axis and the connecting line between the threaded hole 232 and the corresponding sliding buckle 231 is the same as the included angle between the oblique side of the L-shaped sliding groove 211 and the Y-axis, and the distance between the threaded hole 232 and the corresponding sliding buckle 231 needs to satisfy the condition that after the sliding buckle 231 is clamped into the corresponding sliding groove 211, the screw 240 is clamped at the top of the L-shaped sliding groove 211 in the Z-axis direction after the screw 240 is screwed into the threaded hole 232.

Still alternatively, two sliding grooves 211 are formed on each side plate parallel to the Y axis, and the two sliding grooves 211 are arranged in a horizontal row in the same direction as the Y axis.

Optionally, the top of one of the side plates parallel to the Y axis has a mating opening formed by the top of the side plate 211 being recessed back in the Z axis direction, so that the side plate 211 provides more room for the screw 240 to mate with the threaded hole 232, while the side plate 211 does not have a mating opening to accommodate the screw 240 solution. Alternatively, the mating opening is located near the upper position of the chute 211, thereby facilitating the operation. Still alternatively, the slide groove 211 located at the rear side of the two slide grooves 211 has a mating opening. Still alternatively, the material of the housing 210 is metal, such as stainless steel. Still alternatively, the housing 210 is a stamping.

On the basis of the above, a limit retaining wall 212 is extended from one side of the bottom plate of the housing 210 parallel to the X axis toward the Z axis, and the width of the limit retaining wall 212 is not greater than the width between the two side plates parallel to the Y axis, the limit retaining wall 212 is parallel to the X axis, and the height of the limit retaining wall 212 is lower than the height of the two side plates, for example, the height of the limit retaining wall 212 is the same as the height of the PCB 220, so that the PCB 220 is blocked by the limit retaining wall 212. Optionally, the limiting retaining wall 212 is far away from the two side plates and has a specified distance from the two side plates, so that the PCB 220 is prevented from moving forward during the sliding process of the sliding buckle 231 in the sliding slot 211.

Alternatively, the threaded hole 232 is located at a designated position of the two slide catches 231 on one side wall at a side away from the limit retaining wall 212.
