An inner case has an inner case interface connector of a plurality of different standards inside the inner case, which is matched by one conversion circuit, and is provided as one inner case side connector outside the inner case. An inner case is inserted inside the outer case 20 so as to be freely inserted and removed, and an outer case-side connector that can be coupled to the inner case-side connector is provided inside the outer case. It is reduced to an outer case interface connector of a different standard and provided outside the outer case.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a kind of disk pack connector, and more particularly, to an apparatus which can correspond to a computer interface standard even if a disk pack (cartridge type magnetic disk, removable hard disk) interface standard is different.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The disk pack houses the disk inside and can be inserted into and removed from the disk pack slot of the computer at any time.The user can remove the disk pack from the disk pack slot and replace it at any time, and can add hard disks without removing the computer case Due to its advantages, it was increasingly deployed as standard on computers. Disk packs can be easily replaced when the amount of data to be stored becomes so large that they can no longer be stored, and are convenient to carry. However, there are three types of existing disk pack interfaces: an IDE interface (40 pins), a SCSI interface (50 pins), and a WIDE SCSI interface (68 pins), which cannot be mutually shared and are incompatible. . In other words, if a SCSI interface is used for the main board, a SCSI-compatible disk pack must be purchased. Similarly, if an IDE interface is used, an IDE-compatible disk pack must be purchased. They had to be purchased and could not be used if the interface standards of the computer and the disk pack were different.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 It is an object of the present invention to provide a kind of disk pack connector, the device includes an inner case and an outer case, and the inner case has a plurality of different standard inner case interface connectors inside thereof. Are provided as one inner case side connector outside the inner case by one conversion circuit, and the inner case is inserted freely into and out of the outer case, and the inner case side is inserted inside the outer case. An outer case-side connector that can be connected to the connector is provided, and the outer case-side connector is reduced to a plurality of outer case interface connectors of different standards by one conversion circuit and provided outside the outer case, and thus inserted by the user. Even if the interface standard of the hard disk pack is different, the inner case And which is characterized in that you have to be adapted to a computer interface standard with a interface connector.

Next, in the present invention, in the disk pack connector, the conversion circuit of the inner case can convert 68 pins of WIDE SCSI to 50 pins of SCSI, and connects the inner case and the outer case with a SCSI standard connector. In addition, the conversion between the outer case side connector inside the outer case and the outer case interface connector outside the outer case is not required while maintaining the SCSI interface standard, so that the WIDE SCSI standard disk pack can be directly connected to the SCSI interface. The task is to make it applicable to equipped computers.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The invention of claim 1 includes an inner case 10 and an outer case 20, and a plurality of inner case interface connectors 11 of different standards which can be connected to the interface connectors of the disc packs of different standards are provided inside the inner case 10. The inner case interface connector 11 is aligned by a single conversion circuit 12 to form a single type and is provided outside the inner case 10, and the inside of the outer case 20 corresponds to the inner case side connector 13. An outer case connector 21 which can be combined with the outer case connector 21 is provided, and the outer case connector 21 is reduced to a plurality of outer case interface connectors 23 of different standards by one conversion circuit 22 and installed outside the outer case 20. The inner case of the inner case 10 in which the user supports the interface connector of the disk pack By inserting the interface connector 11, with a outer casing interface connector 23 of the outer case 20 Yes and to accommodate the computer interface standard, and the disk pack connector having the above construction.

The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that the inner case interface connector 11 or the outer case interface connector 23 includes interface connectors of a plurality of different interface standards, ie, IDE, SCSI, and WIDE SCSI standards. The disk pack connector according to claim 1.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention includes an inner case 10 and an outer case 20. The inner case 10 is used to accommodate a hard disk, is inserted into the outer case 20 in a separable manner, and 10 is connected to a hard disk using an inner case interface connector 11 and connected to an outer case 20 using an inner case connector 13. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present invention, the inner case 10 is provided with a plurality of inner case interface connectors 11 of different standards so that the user can adapt the hard disk interface connector according to the difference of the hard disk standard. It can be connected to the interface connector 11. This hard disk standard includes three existing hard disk interface standards, namely IDE, SCSI, and WIDE SCSI. In addition, one conversion circuit 12 matches the inner case interface connectors 11 of these three types of interface standards to form a single type, and is provided outside the inner case 10 as one inner case side connector 13. As shown in FIG. 3, inside the outer case 20, an outer case-side connector 21 corresponding to the inner case-side connector 13 and capable of being combined therewith (the outer case-side connector 21 is a male (Corresponding to a female type) is provided for use in reading and writing data stored on the hard disk. In addition, one conversion circuit 22 connects the outer case side connector 21 outside the outer case 20 to a plurality of different standards. It is returned to the outer case interface connector 23 and installed. The standard of the outer case interface connector 23 similarly includes three existing interface standards, namely, IDE, SCSI, and WIDE SCSI, and is connected to the computer motherboard through a connector having a corresponding number of pins.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in use, the inner case 10 is pushed into the outer case 20 to connect the inner case-side connector 13 and the outer case-side connector 21 to each other. When a hard disk (disk pack) is installed in a hard disk, simply insert the hard disk into the inner case interface connector 11 of the corresponding interface standard, and data can be transferred in and out according to the hard disk interface format. Has solved the disadvantages.

Further, the conversion circuit 12 of the inner case 10 is configured to be able to convert 68 pins of WIDE SCSI into 50 pins of SCSI, and to connect the inner case 10 and the outer case 20 with the inner case side connector 13 of SCSI. The WIDE SCSI can be directly connected to a computer with a SCSI interface if the connector 21 is connected and the outer case side connector 21 of the outer case 20 and the outer case interface connector 23 are also compatible with the SCSI standard.

[Effect of the invention]

 With the disk pack connector of the present invention, even if the interface standard of the disk pack is different, it can be adapted to the computer interface standard.
