Description

The present invention relates to a storage device connection device represented by a hard disk drive device,
Specifically, the present invention relates to a connection device that fixes connection of connection terminals.

Conventionally, for example, in a computer system such as a server or a personal computer,
Hard disk, MO (Magneto-Optical disk), CD-ROM (Compact Disc
-ROM) is stored as digitized data on data, software constituting the operation system, and the like.

In recent years, these storage media have increased in storage capacity. For example, some hard disk drive devices have a storage capacity of 80 megabytes or more. Such a new type of device
The structure of the connection terminal has also been improved. The connection terminal of the conventional hard disk drive device is divided into a power supply terminal and a data transmission / reception terminal. The connection strength between the terminal and the connector is sufficiently strong, and once connected, the connection terminal is not easily detached.

On the other hand, a copying apparatus for copying stored data from a storage device such as a hard disk drive device to another storage device is known. The copying apparatus sequentially reads the physically defined area from the recording area of the copy source recording medium, and in the same physical position as the position recorded on the copy source recording medium in the recording area of the copy destination recording medium. Copying is performed by a so-called mirror copy method for copying data.
For example, the following prior art documents exist in such a copying apparatus.
JP-A-10-74384 (paragraph numbers 0011 to 0034, FIGS. 1 to 7).

While the storage capacity of storage devices has increased in recent years, the configuration of hard disk drive devices has also been improved, and the connection terminal part is an edge type terminal with weak connection strength, making it easy to attach and detach flat cables. It has been improved. Such a flat cable is convenient for connection to a hard disk drive device loaded in a personal computer, and reduces the assembly effort of the personal computer.

However, the above copying apparatus in which a plurality of hard disk drive devices are arranged on a table and driven simultaneously has the following problems. When the hard disk drive device is driven, vibration is generated. The hard disk drive device provided on the table moves due to this vibration, and there is a problem that the connection between the connector and the terminal fixed on the table is disconnected. Further, in a configuration in which a plurality of hard disk drive devices are arranged, vibration is transmitted to adjacent hard disk drive devices, and noise is generated. In addition, since a plurality of hard disk drive devices are arranged, there are problems such that there are a plurality of vibration sources, vibrations are amplified, and the hard disk drive device itself is adversely affected.

Some terminals other than the edge type use pins as terminals. In a terminal using such a pin, one is provided with a plurality of pins (male type), and the other is provided with a hole for accommodating the pin for each pin (female type). When connecting this type of connection terminal, it is necessary to connect the male type and the female type accurately so that the male type pin fits in the corresponding female type hole. If this position is not accurate, the pin will not fit in the hole when connecting,
Troubles such as pin deformation or breakage occur. In particular, a small hard disk drive device has a problem in that since the connection terminal portion is small and the pin size is small, a more delicate operation is required and the efficiency of the connection work is reduced.

An object of the present invention is to provide a connection device for a storage device that secures the connection between the fixed connector and the connection portion of the storage device and facilitates the attachment and detachment work between the connector and the storage device.

The present invention for solving the above problems has the following configuration.
(1) a storage body for storing the storage device in a fixed state;
A connector connected to a connection terminal of a storage device fixed to the storage body;
A support member for supporting the connector;
A main body for supporting the support member and the storage body;
While supporting the support member on the main body side, interposed between the support member and the main body,
An urging support mechanism having an elastic member for urging the connector toward the connection terminal of the storage device through the support member;
The relative position between the storage body and the support member is the separation position where the connector is separated from the connection terminal, and the elastic member is deformed in a state where the connection terminal is connected to the connector, and the connector is connected in the connection direction by the restoring force of the elastic member. And a relative position changing means capable of changing to a connection position biased by the storage device.

(2) The relative position changing means is provided on the main body and includes a guide means having a track for guiding the storage body so as to reciprocate, and a locked state in which the storage body is fixed at a connection position on the track. The storage device connection apparatus according to (1), further including a fixing unit that switches the storage body to a release state in which the storage body is movable.

(3) The support member is in a state of being sandwiched between the compressed elastic member and the connector connected to the storage device in a state where the storage body is in the connection position. The storage device connection device according to claim 1).

(4) The track of the guide means is provided along the insertion / removal direction of the connector and the connection terminal, and the connector is provided at a position facing the position of the connection terminal of the storage device fixed in the storage body. The storage device connection device according to (2) or (3).

(5) On the same main body, the pair of support members that support the storage body and the connector are:
The storage device connection apparatus according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein a plurality of pairs are provided.

(6) The storage device connection device according to any one of (1) to (5), wherein the storage device includes a rotating storage medium and a driving device that rotates the storage medium.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the connected connector is biased in the connection direction with respect to the storage device fixed to the storage body, the connection between the storage device and the connector is not disconnected. A physical connection is ensured reliably, and thus an electrical connection is also ensured.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the storage device is integrated with the storage body and moves while being guided by the track, when the storage device is pushed against the restoring force of the elastic member, the storage device is moved in the guide direction of the track. Since the movements other than are restricted, the posture of the storage device is stabilized and the connection work becomes easy. Also,
Since the fixing means for fixing the position of the storage body in the pushed-in state only needs to be configured to restrict only one direction on the track (for example, only the backward direction), the lock mechanism can be made simpler.

According to the invention of claim 3, the support member is in a state where the storage body is in the connection position.
Since it is sandwiched between the compressed elastic member and the connector connected to the storage device and is not in direct contact with the main body, the vibration of the storage device is suppressed from being transmitted to the main body.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the track is provided along the insertion / removal direction of the connector and the connection terminal, and the connector is positioned opposite to the position of the connection terminal of the storage device fixed in the storage body. Therefore, the movement direction of the storage device when the connector and the storage device are connected or removed can be regulated. For this reason, when the connector is connected or removed, it is possible to prevent a problem that the terminals are not engaged with each other and are damaged due to the displacement of the connection position between the connector and the storage device. In particular, in a small memory device, since the connection port is small and the strength of the terminal portion is weak, a configuration in which a track is provided is particularly preferable.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the case of a connection device in which a plurality of pairs of the support members that support the storage body and the connector are provided on the same main body, a plurality of hard disk drive devices are provided. Is suppressed from being transmitted to the adjacent hard disk drive device, so that resonance and noise can be prevented.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, in the case where the storage device includes a rotating storage medium and a drive device that rotates the storage medium, vibration is particularly generated when the drive device is driven. The connection device of the present invention in which the transmission of the above is suppressed is particularly useful.
