[Detailed description of the device]

【Overview】

Regarding a mounting structure of a disk drive device, an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure of a disk drive device that can be securely mounted to a device main body even if rigidity is low. At the same time, in the mounting structure of the disk drive device in which the disk drive device is housed in the housing space and fixed by a pair of mounting parts provided on the opposite side walls of the housing of the disk drive device, both end parts of the one mounting part are The supporting tongue that is locked to the lower cover member and that projects at the center of the other mounting portion is placed on the supporting protrusion that is erected on the lower cover member, and the above-mentioned supporting tongue protrudes from the upper cover. It is configured by being sandwiched by support protrusions.

[Industrial applications]

The present invention relates to a disc drive device mounting structure. 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in response to demands for downsizing of personal computers, downsizing of disk drive devices such as floppy disk devices mounted on the personal computers has been progressing, and along with that, outer plates of the disk drive devices and the like. Also, thin plates are used, and overall rigidity and strength tend to decrease. Under such circumstances, there is a demand for a mounting structure capable of securely and reliably mounting the disk drive device to the device body.

[Prior art]

FIG. 3 shows a conventional disk drive device mounting structure. On the outer plate portion of the disk drive device 4 having the disk insertion opening 12 on the front surface thereof, two mounting brackets 6, 6 are provided with screws 13,
The disk drive device 4 is mounted by fixing the mounting brackets 6 and 6 to the device main body (not shown) with screws 13 so as to face each other.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since the two opposing side edges are fixed to the device body, when the device body is distorted due to molding or the like, a stress in the twisting direction is generated in the disk drive device 4, When the rigidity of the disk drive device 4 is low, the disk drive device 4 has a drawback that it is attached to the device body in a twisted state, which adversely affects the seek operation of the internal magnetic head. The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a disk drive device that can be reliably mounted to the device main body even if the rigidity is low.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to the present invention, the above-mentioned object is to form the storage space 3 by the upper and lower cover members 1 and 2 in the main body of the apparatus as shown in FIGS. In the mounting structure of the disk drive device, the disk drive device 4 is housed in the disk drive device 4, and is fixed by a pair of mounting parts 6 and 7 provided on opposite side walls of the housing 5 of the disk drive device 4. Is engaged with the lower cover member 2, and a supporting tongue piece 9 projecting from the center of the other mounting portion 7 is placed on a supporting protrusion 10 standing on the lower cover member 2. This is achieved by providing a mounting structure for a disk drive device in which the upper part is sandwiched by support projections 11 projecting from the upper cover 1.

[Action]

Based on the above configuration, in the present invention, the disk drive device 4 has both ends on the side of the mounting portion 6 protruding from one side edge of the disk drive device 4 locked to the lower cover member 2 and at the opposite side edge. The support tongue piece 9 formed at the center of the projecting mounting portion 7 is attached by being sandwiched between the upper cover member 1 and the lower cover member 2. As a result, the disk drive device 4 is supported at three points, and the support tongue 9 side slides and swings freely, so that the strains of the upper and lower cover members 1 and 2 are absorbed, and the stress on the disk drive device 4 is reduced. The burden is reduced.

【Example】

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which 5 is a housing of the disk drive device 4, 12 is a disk drive insertion opening, and 14 is a disk drive eject button. Reference numerals 6 and 7 denote a pair of mounting portions fixed to the both side walls of the housing 5, and one mounting portion 6 is formed by projecting the tongue pieces 16 for mounting to the main body of the device at both ends of the reinforcing piece 15. Has been formed,
It is fixed to the outer side wall of the housing 5 by a fixing tongue piece 17 that is provided at the middle of the reinforcing piece 15. In this example,
By making one of the screw insertion holes 18 provided in the mounting tongue piece 16 a cutout hole, it is possible to absorb a dimensional error of the boss 8 described later. On the other hand, the other mounting portion 7 is provided with a fixing tongue piece 17, which is projected to an intermediate portion of the reinforcing piece 15,
17 and a supporting tongue piece 9 projecting outward from the central portion of the reinforcing piece 15, and the screw 13 inserted into the fixing tongue piece 17 is used to insert the disk drive device 4 into the disk drive device 4. It is fixed to the housing 5. As shown in FIG. 2, the disk drive device 4 configured as described above is stored and fixed in the storage space 3 formed by the upper cover 1 member and the lower cover member 2 of the device body. On the lower cover member 2, the one mounting portion 6 is provided.
The boss 8 corresponding to the mounting tongue piece 16 of the above is projected, and the supporting projection 10 is projected corresponding to the supporting tongue piece 9 of the other mounting portion 7. The boss 8 and the supporting projection 10 Thus, the disk drive device 4 is supported at three points with its bottom wall portion 19 slightly floating from the lower cover member 2. On the other hand, the upper cover 1 member includes a support tongue piece 9 of the mounting portion 7.
Is provided so that the support tongue piece 9 is sandwiched between the support projection 10 and the support projection 11 on the lower cover member 2 side. Therefore, according to this embodiment, after mounting the pair of mounting brackets 6 and 7 on the housing 5 of the disk drive device 4, the mounting tongue piece 16 of one mounting portion 6 is placed on the boss 8 and The supporting tongue 9 of the other mounting portion 7 is placed on the supporting protrusion 10 to hold the disk drive device 4, and then the boss 8
A screw (13) is screwed into a nut (20) inserted therein, and a mounting tongue (17) is screwed. In this state, the disk drive device 4 is temporarily fixed in the storage space 3, and when the upper cover 1 member is fixed thereafter, the supporting tongues 9 are clamped by the supporting projections 11 of the upper cover 1 member, and the upper tongue piece 9 is moved upward. The disc drive device 4 is fixed in a state in which the disc shift is prevented. In the present embodiment, the housing 5 of the disk drive device 4 is
Although the fixing method using the mounting bracket in which the mounting portion is a separate body has been described, the mounting portion may be integrally formed.

[Effect of device]

As is clear from the above description, according to the mounting structure of the disk drive device according to the present invention, even if the device body is distorted, a great stress is not applied to the disk drive, so that the problem due to the distortion of the housing is prevented. Therefore, it is possible to securely attach the device to the main body.
