VIBRATION ABSORPTION STRUCTURE FOR FIXING A HARD DISC DRIVER}

The present invention relates to a vibration absorbing mounting structure of a hard disk driver, and more particularly, to increase the lifespan of a hard disk driver by blocking vibration or shock transmitted from the case from being transmitted to the hard disk driver mounted inside the case. In addition, the present invention relates to a vibration absorbing mounting structure of a hard disk driver that protects data stored in the hard disk driver.

Generally, a hard disc driver (also referred to as "HDD") used in a computer or a notebook is a data recording and storage device, which is mounted in a case to prevent damage or damage when used. For use, it is separated from a computer, a notebook, or the like, so that it can be carried and transported alone, or an input or / and output device is added and used in a vehicle.

Since such a hard disk driver is easily damaged by vibration or shock, it is necessary to be careful in handling. Usually, the hard disk driver is fixedly mounted with a screw inside the case.

However, when the conventional hard disk driver is fixed to the inside of the case with screws, vibration or shock applied to the case is transmitted to the hard disk driver as it is, resulting in damage to the hard disk driver.

Vibration or shock applied to the hard disk driver has a problem of reducing the life of the hard disk driver, and makes it difficult to use important data stored in the hard disk driver.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, the object of the present invention is to increase the life of the hard disk driver by blocking the vibration or shock transmitted from the case to the hard disk driver mounted inside the case and In addition, to provide a vibration absorbing mounting structure of the hard disk driver to protect the data stored in the hard disk driver.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a structure in which a hard disk driver is mounted inside the case, and the shock absorbing member made of an elastic material having a protrusion formed on one side of the outer circumferential surface thereof is formed in the case so that the tip protrudes into the case. Inserted into each of the coupling holes, the hard disk driver is characterized in that it is screwed to the screw passing through the shock absorbing member to be fixed in contact with the front end of the shock absorbing member respectively protruding into the case.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention.

1 is an exploded perspective view showing a vibration absorbing mounting structure of the hard disk driver according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an enlarged view showing the main portion of the vibration absorbing mounting structure of the hard disk driver according to the present invention.

As shown, the vibration absorbing mounting structure of the hard disk driver according to the present invention is a structure for mounting the hard disk driver 20 inside the case 10, the shock absorbing member 30 is formed in the case 10 The hard disk driver 20 is fitted to each of the plurality of coupling holes 11, the shock absorbing member 30 in the state of being bonded to the front end of the shock absorbing member 30 of the elastic material protruding into the case 10, respectively. Screwed to the screw 40 penetrated through.

In the case 10, a plurality of coupling holes 11 are formed in the side plate 12 to fix the hard disk driver 20 to the inside, and the shock absorbing member 30 is coupled to the coupling holes 31 by the engaging protrusion 31. 11) is fitted with a jammed state. At least three or more coupling holes 11 are preferable, and as shown in FIG. 1, three coupling holes 11 are provided.

The shock absorbing member 30 is formed of an elastic material such as rubber or urethane, and the engaging protrusion 31 is formed on one side of the outer circumferential surface of the coupling hole 11 so as not to fall into the inner side when the shock absorbing member 30 is fitted into the coupling hole 11. It has a suitable length so that the tip 32 protrudes into the case 10 through the passage.

The shock absorbing member 30 has a departure preventing protrusion 33 formed on the outer circumferential surface of the tip 32 projecting inwardly from the coupling hole 11. The anti-separation protrusion 33 may be continuously formed along the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the shock absorbing member 30, and may be discontinuously formed along the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the shock absorbing member 30. Therefore, when the shock absorbing member 30 is fitted into the coupling hole 11, the shock absorbing member 30 is prevented from being easily separated from the coupling hole 11 by the separation preventing protrusion 33.

The shock absorbing member 30 has an insertion groove 34 formed at one side such that the head of the screw 40 is inserted therein. Therefore, when the screw 40 penetrates the shock absorbing member 30, the head is positioned inside the insertion groove 34 so as not to be caught by the user or other objects.

When the hard disk driver 20 is mounted inside the case 10, the outer surface of the hard disk driver 20 is fixed to the front end 32 of the shock absorbing member 30 protruding into the case 10, respectively. The screw 40 penetrating the 30 is screwed into the screw hole 21 formed in the outer surface of the hard disk driver 20 in contact with the tip 32 of the shock absorbing member 30, respectively.

The coupling hole 11 has a support surface 13 formed therein to support the shock absorbing member 30 coupled with the hard disk driver 20 and the screw 40. The support surface 13 is formed to be inclined as shown in FIG. 2 by bending the edge of the coupling hole 11.

The function of the vibration absorbing mounting structure of the hard disk driver having such a structure is as follows.

The shock absorbing member 30 is inserted into each coupling hole 11 formed in the side plate 12 of the case 10, and the shock absorbing member protrudes the hard disk driver 20 into the case 10. The hard disk driver 20 is coupled to the screw hole 21 of the hard disk driver 20 by penetrating the shock absorbing member 30 with the screw 40 while being in contact with the tip 32 of the 30. It is to be mounted inside the case (10).

Since the hard disk driver 20 is mounted inside the case 10 with the shock absorbing member 30 interposed therebetween, the vibration or shock applied to the case 10 may be formed of an elastic material such as rubber or urethane. Absorption to 30 prevents vibration or shock from being applied to the hard disk driver 20.

When the shock absorbing member 30 is inserted into the coupling hole 11 of the case 10, the shock absorbing member 30 is easily prevented from being separated outward by the release preventing protrusion 33, thereby improving the assemblability, and the coupling with the hard disk driver 20. When the weight of the hard disk driver 20 is supported, the outer circumferential surface thereof is stably supported by the inner support surface 13 of the coupling hole 11 to prevent deformation or damage.

As described above, according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vibration or shock transmitted from the case 10 is blocked from being transmitted to the hard disk driver 20 mounted inside the case 10, so that vibrations such as indoors as well as a vehicle are prevented. Even if used for a long time in a severe place increases the life of the hard disk driver 20 and protects the data stored in the hard disk driver 20.

As described above, the vibration absorption mounting structure of the hard disk driver according to the present invention increases the lifespan of the hard disk driver by preventing vibration or shock transmitted from the case from being transmitted to the hard disk driver mounted inside the case. It has the effect of protecting the data stored in the hard disk drive.

What has been described above is only one embodiment for implementing the vibration absorbing mounting structure of the hard disk driver according to the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, as claimed in the following claims Without departing from the gist of the present invention, anyone of ordinary skill in the art will have the technical spirit of the present invention to the extent that various modifications can be made.
