Description

Data accessor fixture

The invention relates to a data access device fixing device, in particular to a data access device fixing device in a desktop computer or a server.

The computer is equipped with a data access device such as a hard disk drive, a CD player or a floppy disk drive. Most of the data access devices are screwed to a fixed frame. However, as the capacity of these data accessors is increasing, the rotational speed is getting faster and faster, and the attendant problem is that the data accessor is vibrating at work. If there is no certain shock absorbing structure, the data accessors easily collide with the surrounding electronic components, causing damage to their functions.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a data accessor fixture having a vibration damping structure.

A data access device fixing device for fixing a data access device, the data access device fixing device comprising a substrate, a bracket fixed on the substrate, and a tray mounted on the data access device, the bracket is provided The accommodating space for accommodating the data access device and the tray, the tray includes a fixing frame mounted on two sides of the data accessor, the fixing frame includes a spring piece and a resilient arm, and the elastic piece protrudes in a horizontal direction to store the data The picker provides an elastic cushion in the horizontal direction, the resilient arm being provided with a projection in the vertical direction and providing elastic cushioning for the data accessor in the vertical direction.

Compared with the prior art, in the above data access device fixing device, the elastic piece and the elastic arm can provide elastic buffering in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction to reduce the impact of the data access device.

Referring to FIG. 1 , in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a data access device fixing device is used for fixing the data access device 100 , and includes a substrate 10 , a bracket 30 , and a data accessor 100 . On the tray 50.

The data accessor 100 can be a hard disk drive or a compact disk drive. A plurality of fixing holes 110 are respectively defined on both sides of the data accessor 100.

The substrate 10 can be an electronic device such as a desktop computer, a mounting plate for securing a hardware or a portion of a mounting bracket in a server.

The bracket 30 includes a pair of parallel side walls 31, a top wall 35 perpendicularly connecting the side walls 31, and two fixing portions 33 respectively disposed at the bottom ends of the side walls 31. Each of the fixing portions 33 has a stepped cross section. Each fixing portion 33 includes a carrier plate 331, a connecting plate 333 and a fixing plate 335. The carrier plate 331 and the fixing plate 335 are perpendicular to the connecting plate 333. The top wall 35, the two side walls 31 and the two carrying plates 331 together define a receiving space for receiving the data access device 100. A fixing opening 312 is defined in each side wall 31. Each of the side walls 31 protrudes from the receiving space with a stopping portion 315. The fixing opening 312 and the stopping portion 315 are located on both sides of the same side wall 31. The top wall 35 is provided with a heat dissipation hole 355.

Referring to FIG. 2, the tray 50 includes two symmetrically placed fixing frames 51, elastic connecting portions 53 connected from the upper ends of the two fixing frames 51, and elastic pullers 58 connected from the front ends of the two fixing frames 51. Each of the fixing frames 51 includes a main body portion 511, two elastic pieces 512 protruding toward the two sides, and a first elastic arm 515 and two second elastic arms 513 disposed along the upper and lower edges of the main body portion 511. Each of the elastic pieces 512 has a free end, and each of the elastic pieces 512 is bent outwardly in a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped shape. The main body portion 511 defines a first retaining groove 5152 on a side of the first elastic arm 515. A second retaining groove 5132 is defined in the main body portion 511 on a side of the second elastic arm 513. The first elastic arm 515 protrudes from a first protrusion 516. The second elastic arm 513 is provided with a second protrusion 517 downward. The first bump 516 and the second bump 517 may be arcuate or triangular. The elastic piece 512 is located in the second retaining groove 5132. Each of the fixing frames 51 protrudes from the fixing holes 110 of the data accessor 100 to form a plurality of fixing posts 519. A positioning portion 518 is protruded from the main body portion 511 near the handle 58.

Referring to FIG. 3 , when the bracket 30 is mounted, the bracket 30 is fixed to the base plate 10 by the fixing plate 335 . At this time, an extension space between the bracket 30 and the substrate 10 is formed under the receiving space. The extended space can avoid electronic components located between the data accessor 100 and the substrate 10.

When the tray 50 is installed, the two fixing brackets 51 of the tray 50 are outwardly opened away from the side of the connecting portion 53 , and the tray 50 is moved into the two sides of the data access device 100 so that the fixing post 519 is correspondingly engaged. The data accessor 100 is in the fixing hole 110.

Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, when the data accessor 100 with the tray 50 is mounted to the bracket 30, the end of the data accessor 100 is introduced into the receiving space of the bracket 30, and the elastic piece 512 of the fixing frame 51 is 512. The first elastic arm 515 and the second elastic arm 513 of the bracket 51 respectively abut against the top wall 35 of the bracket 30 and the carrier plate 331 of the fixing portion 33. When the data accessor 100 with the tray 50 is completely slid into the bracket 30, the stop portion 315 of the bracket 30 blocks the data accessor 100, and the positioning portion 518 is locked into the corresponding fixed port 312 to prevent The data accessor 100 moves out of the holder 30.

When the substrate 10 and the bracket 30 vibrate, the elastic piece 512 is elastically deformed in the horizontal direction in the horizontal direction to form a horizontal elastic buffer. The first elastic arm 515 and the second elastic arm 513 are elastically deformed in a vertical direction to form a vertical elastic buffer. The data accessor fixture can reduce the impact of external vibration on the data accessor 100 to a certain extent.

In another embodiment, the extended space under the accommodating space is omitted according to actual needs. The data accessor 100 can be directly mounted between the bracket 30 and the substrate 10.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above-mentioned preferred embodiments of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of the following claims.
