Description

Disk array fixed position device of disk array machine

The invention relates to a disk lock fixing device for a disk array machine, in particular to a disk lock fixing device which is convenient for assembling and disassembling a magnetic disk and can keep the magnetic disk stable after being combined.

The disk assembly mechanism of the disk array machine is similar to the invention patent of the "Disc array accommodating structure" of the Republic of China Patent No. 539210, which is used for accommodating a plurality of disk devices and providing an additional accommodating space. For positioning and positioning of an object, the disk array accommodating structure comprises a first side plate having a first parallel parallel rail group, a second side plate parallel to the first side plate and having a second parallel parallel rail With respect to the first parallel parallel rail group, a bottom plate is vertically connected to the first side panel and the second side panel, and a top panel is directly disposed on the first side panel and the second side panel, thereby being connected to the first side panel The second side panel and the bottom plate define an opening for the plurality of disk devices to be placed and slide on the first and second parallel parallel rail groups, the top plate having a bearing portion for providing the additional The space is accommodated for the object to be placed and positioned.

However, the above-mentioned structure is combined with each of the disk device and the top plate in a lateral insertion manner, and after being combined with the positioning, there is no positioning mechanism, so that the disk device and the top plate are prone to slip and looseness. The situation is off; and after each disk device and the top plate are assembled, the edges are in a flush state, which is unfavorable for extraction during disassembly, and thus is inconvenient in application.

The handle is provided on the slider of the two arms, and the handle is combined with the screw provided on the slider to be attached to the hard disk, so that the handle can be freely pulled and slid relative to the hard disk. The hard disk can be slid into the track groove of the two slide rails by using the handle assembly; when the slider enters the track groove, the buffer structure in the track groove will be buffered to prevent the hard disk from sliding quickly and causing damage and slippage. After entering the end, the restriction structure constitutes a restriction on the lifting, and the hard disk is positioned.

The structure is such that the hard disk is inserted in an upright manner, and the terminal blocks of the hard disks are combined with the corresponding connectors on the base. Although the handle assembly can improve the convenience of drawing and extracting the hard disk, the actual operation is performed. At the same time, the connector is damaged due to the situation that the front and rear shaking are easy to occur during the pulling process of pulling out the hard disk; meanwhile, after the hard disk is assembled, the top side of each of the lifting members is also flush.
