Description

This utility model relates to individual removable computer components that are quickly detachable from it, and such components are made up of a housing and a data carrier located therein — hard or solid-state drives, the data carrier being such a quick-detachable part of the computer, the design of which provides for the operation of this design in severe conditions and, if necessary, the rapid separation of the storage medium from the computer in extremely dangerous situations.

The storage medium is intended for use mainly in portable computers mounted on transport and other machines at risk of destruction and, in this regard, the medium allows you to quickly disconnect it from the computer, leave the board of equipment, remove the medium to a safe place for the purpose of preservation in it accumulated data.

Computer storage media are known, each of which contains a hard disk located in the housing on an elastic lower vertical load balancer resting on a lower elastic gasket, an elastic upper vertical load balancer is located between the disk and the cover, and elastic side compensators are located between the disk and the side walls of the housing lateral loads, the hard drive located in the housing is in elastic compressors and gaskets compressed from all sides, a multi-channel is installed in the housing window external electric connector, the contacts of which are located outside the case and are connected by a cable of electric wires to the contacts of another connector located inside the case and connected to the hard disk by its contacts (JP 2009193654 A, 2009-08-27. CN 20368991 U, 2014-07-02. WO 2004017159 A2, 2004-02-26. US 6501644 B1, 2002-12-31. US 6304440 B1, 2001-10-16. WO 2007073673 A1, 2007-07-05).

From the patent documentation RU 89750 U1, a problem is known related to susceptibility to shock and vibration loads of mobile laptops, which poses the problem of increasing the strength and security of computer compartments in which removable hard drives are located. For example, as follows from the description of RU 89750 U1, the patent application CN 200810014312.2 provides an impact-resistant and vibration-proof compartment for 2.5-inch removable hard drives used in laptops. Rubber guides are installed in the compartment on the right and left sides of the hard drive, the front cover is installed on the front side of the drive, and the back cover is installed on the back of the drive. Rubber guides are connected at one end to the front cover and at the other end to the rear cover. The front and back covers are connected to the top and bottom covers that are installed on the top and bottom of the hard drive. A front plate is installed between the rubber guides and the front cover, and a back plate is installed between the rubber guides and the rear cover. Ventilation openings are made in the upper and lower covers, forming a square structure, and two oval openings are made in the front cover. On one side of the rubber rails there are grooves whose width corresponds to the width of the hard drive.

As follows from RU 89750 U1 with reference to the analogue of CN 200810014312.2, the storage medium has the following disadvantages. Screws are used to connect the rubber guides, hard drive, hard drive enclosure and other parts to each other, as a result of which external shocks and vibrations are easily transmitted through the screws to the hard drive. The design of rubber guides used to soften shocks and vibrations is too simple, the shock absorbing abilities of the rubber material are limited, which results in poor protection of the hard drive from shock and vibration. This provides protection against shock and vibration in only four directions: top, bottom, right and left, while the hard drive remains unprotected from shock and vibration in front and behind. When a laptop falls, it usually hits first with the front side, that is, the blow falls on the front or back of the hard drive, which inevitably leads to damage to the latter. Also, the compartment housing consists of four separate parts, which makes its design complex, requiring additional production costs.

To eliminate the disadvantages described above, a design of a protected case (compartment) for a hard drive is developed with a simultaneous increase in its shock resistance, vibration resistance and stability, with the possibility of being used as a portable removable compartment (RU 89750 U1, G11B 33/00, 12/10/2009. ЕВОК Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (CN) This new design solves the problem of increasing the compactness of the shockproof and vibration-resistant hard drive bays, and improves heat dissipation.

In the utility model RU 89750 U1, an essentially shockproof and vibration-resistant data carrier (hard disk) is presented in the housing, comprising a housing and oblong-shaped damping clips mounted inside the housing base, while the hard drive housing is made of four side panels - front, back, right, left and bottom panels, forming a solid base of the housing, as well as the top cover. In both damping clamps, grooves are made corresponding to the dimensions of the hard disk, into which the hard disk is installed, due to which the damping clips on both sides still fix the hard disk inside the base of the case.

In this utility model, all five surfaces of each of the damping clamps — with the exception of the inner surface with a groove — are provided with protrusions spaced apart from one another, which abut against the inner walls of the housing.

At the far ends of the damping clamps there are legs-protrusions designed to fill the empty space between the hard drive and the case, on the outer sides of which are in contact with the inner walls of the base of the case, the protrusions are also located at a distance from each other.

On the base of the case there is a transition loopback board, the front end of which is fixedly mounted on the front panel of the base of the hard drive housing, and the other end is movable and is designed to be connected to the hard drive.

There is a recess in the front panel of the chassis base. The front end of the adapter cable is located outside the front panel, the middle part lies on the recess, and the rear end is located inside the base of the hard drive enclosure behind its front panel.

The front end of the adapter ribbon cable is secured by a detachable connection to the front panel of the chassis base using a lock plate mounted on the inside of the front panel.

A shock-absorbing lining of damping material is installed between the retainer plate and the movable end of the adapter circuit board.

On the inside of the upper case cover, damping pads made of damping material are also located that fill the empty space between the cover and the hard disk.

Inside the base of the case, heat-dissipating plates are installed on the bottom panel, to which the hard disk fits tightly with the bottom side, and the height of the heat-dissipating plates corresponds to the height of the lower edge of the grooves of the damping clamps on the sides of the hard disk.

The top cover and base of the case are made of aluminum alloy and are connected to each other by screws. Ventilation openings are made in the top cover and the bottom panel of the housing base.

The hard drive enclosure is made of four side panels - front, back, right, left and bottom panels, forming a solid base of the case, as well as the top cover. The top cover can be secured to the rest of the housing using a screw connection, while the remaining parts of the structure, assembled together, are located inside the housing, which further simplifies the design. On the inside of the damping clamps, grooves are made, the width of which is designed in such a way that, worn on the hard drive, the damping clamps tightly cover it on the right and left, motionlessly fixing the hard drive inside the case. None of the six surfaces of the hard drive is in contact with the case, and there is not a single screw connection between the hard drive and the case, which solves the current technical problem of transmitting vibration through screws to the hard drive. External vibration is damped in the structure using damping clamps, and a very high level of damping is achieved: the overall damping rates of the entire structure exceed the damping standards for hard drives used on board vehicles. In addition, the design has good heat dissipation, is compact and convenient to use as a removable portable module.

The outer surfaces of the damping clamps are made with flat protrusions located at a distance from each other, with which the damping clamps abut against the inner walls of the housing base and the upper cover, thereby reducing the contact area of the damping clamps with the surface of the upper cover and the base of the housing. Due to this, the degree of mobility of the damping clamps relative to the base of the housing with the lid increases and the damping properties of the structure are significantly increased.

At the far ends of the damping clamps there are legs-ledges designed to fill the empty space between the hard drive and the case. On the outer sides of the legs-protrusions in contact with the inner walls of the housing, the protrusions are also located at a distance from each other. These protruding legs together with a cushioning pad made of damping material located between the retainer plate and the movable end of the adapter cable serve to protect against vibration and shock in front and behind the compartment.

An adapter cable installed on the chassis serves to connect a hard drive to an external connector. There is a recess in the front panel of the chassis base. The front end of the adapter cable is located outside the front panel, the middle part lies on the recess of the panel, and the rear end is located inside the base of the hard drive enclosure behind its front panel. Due to cushioning with damping clamps, the rear end of the adapter cable connected to the hard disk is suspended from the hard disk, as a result of which shocks and vibrations do not affect the stability of the connection of the adapter cable to the hard disk.

The fixed front end of the adapter ribbon cable is fixed to the outer surface of the front panel of the chassis base. The locking plate is located on the inner side of the front panel of the base of the chassis strictly opposite the fixed front end of the plume board, thus, when screwed, the screws pass through the fastened parts in the sequence: fixed front end of the plume board, front panel of the chassis, retainer plate; in this case, all three parts are fixedly fixed to each other. A damping pad made of damping material is installed between the retainer plate and the moving end of the adapter cable, and damping pads made of damping material are also located on the inside of the upper case cover, which fill the empty space between the cover and the hard drive, thereby increasing the cushioning properties of the structure.

Inside the case, between the bottom side of the hard drive and the bottom panel of the base of the case heat-dissipating plates are installed. Most of the heat during heating of the hard disk can be removed via scattering plates to the bottom of the case, from the bottom of the case to the bottom of the laptop, and then radiated into the surrounding space.

In some cases, to ensure the confidentiality of information stored on the hard disk, this device can be removed from the laptop as a removable portable device. This device is compatible with various adapters that allow you to use the device in a desktop computer. This device according to the patent RU 89750 U1 adopted as a prototype of a utility model, which is presented in this description.

A comparative analysis of the prototype and utility model presented in this description showed that the prototype is a relatively complex design that does not meet harsh operating conditions, designed for data carriers mounted in a case that is detachably connected to the laptop case. This complexity is connected with the fact that the top cover and the base of the chassis are connected to each other by screws, the ventilation holes are made in the top cover and the bottom panel of the chassis base, the rear end of the adapter cable connected to the hard drive is suspended a hard drive, moreover, with a screw connection, the screws pass through the fastened parts in the sequence: the fixed front end of the plume board, the front panel of the case, the fixing board, and all three parts are motionless with replay with each other.

Screws and holes complicate the design of the case and reduce its strength and reliability, and the suspended state of the rear end of the plume board reduces the reliability of its connection to the hard drive. However, this media housing is not sealed.

The technical result of the utility model presented in this description is to increase the reliability of the data carrier in the difficult conditions of its operation.

The technical result was obtained by a data carrier for a computer containing a hard disk with computer software data located in the housing, which is located inside the housing on an elastic lower compensator for vertical loads, supported by a lower elastic dielectric strip glued to the dielectric coating of the bottom of the housing base, between the disk and the lid is located elastic upper compensator for vertical loads, and between the disk and the side walls of the housing are elastic lateral compensators lateral loads, on the upper compensator there is an elastic dielectric upper gasket glued to the dielectric coating of the upper wall of the cover, the hard disk located in the case is compressed by elastic compensators and gaskets on all its sides, a multi-channel electrical external connector is installed in the case window, the contacts of which are located on the outside of the case and connected by a loop of electrical wires to the contacts of another connector located inside the case and connected to hard contacts by its contacts a claim, moreover, between the gaskets and the disk, air gaps are formed, the connections of the base with the cover and the external multi-channel contact with the base and the housing are sealed, the loop electric wires are fixed on an elastic U-shaped substrate, the branches of which are located longitudinally with respect to the cover and the base and are pressed to each other, while on the outside the carrier is equipped with a quick-release gripper rigidly connected to it.

The capture is fixed on the bottom of the base on the opposite side with respect to the external connector, and in the front view of the data carrier, the capture is located symmetrically along the symmetry axis of the housing.

The storage medium is presented as one example of the implementation of the layout solution to the problem of increasing the compactness, reliability and strength of the quick-detachable part of the computer with the removable storage medium located in this part.

The data carrier, in particular, contains a sealed enclosure 1 in the form of a box (Fig. 1) made of a durable magnesium alloy Mg (AZ91D), in which is located a hard disk 2 (Fig. 2) with software computer data (information), moreover instead of a hard drive, a solid-state drive with flash memory can be used.

The disk 2 is located inside the housing on the elastic lower compensator 3 vertical loads, as a compensator selected in particular - rubber sponge E-4188, made in the form of a figured plate, which rests on the lower elastic dielectric gasket 4, glued to the bottom 5 of the base 6 of the housing. The bottom 5 has a dielectric high-strength coating, to which the gasket 3 is glued. The base 6 of the body has a trough U-shaped in cross and longitudinal sections, it is hermetically closed from above by a cover 7 having a similar shape.

Between the disk 2 and the cover 7 there is an elastic upper compensator 8 for vertical loads, and between the disk 2 and the side walls of the housing there are elastic side compensators 9 of the side loads. On the upper compensator 8 there is an elastic dielectric upper gasket 10 glued to the upper wall 11 of the housing cover. The upper wall 11 of the cover also has a dielectric high-strength coating, to which the upper gasket 10 is glued. The disk 2, located in the housing, is in elastic compensators and gaskets compressed from all its six sides.

In the housing 1, in its end board, in the plane of connection of the lid with the base of the housing there is a socket in which the electrical multi-channel sealed connector 12 is sealed and rigidly fixed (Fig. 10). Some contacts of the external connector are located outside the case, other contacts of the connector are located inside the case and are connected to the cable 13 of the electrical wires (Fig. 2) located above the axis of symmetry of the case 1. The cable wires are connected to the contacts of the internal connector 14, which are connected to the contacts of the hard disk 2. The middle part of the loop is made of an elastic U-shaped plate, the branches of which are located along the body of the data carrier so that a gap is formed between the branches and these branches are pressed against each other.

The housing is equipped with a quick release clamp 15, mounted on the bottom 5 of the base 6 of the housing. The capture is designed for quick installation and removal of the data carrier from the computer case, and it is located on the bottom side of the data carrier opposite to the external connector 12. In front view of the data carrier (Fig. 10), the capture 15 is located symmetrically along the symmetry axis of the case, and the outer connector 12 is offset to one of the sides of the housing. In the drawings (Figs. 7-10), line 16 shows the plane of the base connector with the housing cover.

Between the gaskets 3, 10 and the disk 2, air gaps 17 and 18 are formed (Fig. 2), respectively, which are designed to compensate for thermal loads on the data carrier. On the sides, these functions are performed by the air gaps 19 and 20. These gaps are located between the walls of the housing, the upper, lower and side compensators located in the corner zones of the housing 1 (Fig. 4).

The front of the housing of the data carrier has bevels 21 (Fig. 1) to the axis of symmetry of the housing. The bevels are designed to facilitate the entry of the data carrier body into the socket of the computer case, each bevel being made so that it forms a step 22, which acts as a limiter for moving the data carrier body in the socket of the computer case. All the components of the media in their relationship are a removable computer module, protected by a sealed case with a quick-release grip for automatically connecting the housing 1 of the data carrier with the load-bearing element of the computer case.

The storage medium operates as follows. The disk 2 is positioned in the media housing as shown in FIG. 1 and hermetically close the housing cover. The data carrier is inserted into the socket of the computer case so that its external connector 12 is located ahead of the data carrier. Moreover, the housing of the data carrier is positioned so that its front part, having bevels 21, enters the socket of the computer case without resistance due to the bevels sliding on the counter surfaces of the computer case. Enter into the computer case the case of the data carrier until the touch of the ledge 22 of the case 1 in the reciprocal steps made on the computer case. In this extreme working position of the data carrier in the socket of the computer case, the capture 15 latches and securely fixes the data carrier on the computer case by coupling the working elements of the capture with the protrusions of the computer case. For reliability of the mechanical connection, the grip is fixed on the computer case with a screw. In this case, the external electrical connector 12 is in the locked operating position in which it is in stationary contact with the computer connector. After that, turn on the power to the computer and use it together with the data carrier installed on it. If necessary, the storage medium is replaced with another storage medium, while the capture allows the user to quickly connect and disconnect different storage media from the computer, replace one storage medium with another medium and load other operating and application systems on the same computer. For example, the storage medium allows for the rapid replacement of the HDD / SSD when the storage medium fails, increase the degree of data protection, since unused storage media can be easily removed and stored in a safe place, adapt the storage medium to changes in the properties of external factors, and it is easy to replace the hard drive with SSD drive that has increased resistance to vibration and shock. When the data carrier is used in conjunction with a computer installed, for example, on a machine operating in severe and hazardous conditions, the computer and the data carrier experience significant shock loads, including air shock wave loads, as well as vibrational, thermal, and hydraulic loads when exposed to water or steam. Shock and vibration loads are compensated by compensators 3, 8 and 9, and thermal loads are compensated by air gaps 19 and 20 located in the corner zones of the housing. Air and hydraulic shock loads are absorbed by compensators, while water penetration into the data carrier is prevented by its airtight housing.

The layout of the data carrier in the housing increased the reliability of its operation in the above working conditions, which have many negative impact factors.
