Description

Data accessor fixture

The present invention relates to a data access device securing device.

In the conventional computer, a data access device such as a hard disk, a floppy disk drive or a CD player is often fixed in the casing through a fixing frame to expand or enhance the function of the computer. However, the fixing frame and the data accessor installed in the fixing frame are susceptible to vibration and movement, so that the data accessor and the corresponding connector are interrupted at a certain moment, thereby causing signal attenuation and causing signal interruption in severe cases. .

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a data accessor fixing device capable of generating a shockproof effect.

A data access device fixing device includes a fixing frame for receiving a data access device and an elastic cushion mounted on a rear end of the fixing frame, the elastic cushion pad having a plurality of curved shapes facing away from the fixing frame Raised.

Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned data access device fixing device can generate a shockproof buffer through the elastic cushion at the rear end thereof, thereby effectively protecting the data access device.

1 is a perspective assembled view of a preferred embodiment of a data access device fixing device and a data access device of the present invention.

2 is a top plan view of the data accessor fixture and data accessor of FIG. 1 applied to a housing.

Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the data access device securing device 10 of the present invention is used to lock a data accessor 20 having a connector 21 at the rear. The data access device fixture 10 includes a mounting bracket 30 and two resilient cushions 40.

The holder 30 includes two opposite side arms 31, a fixed arm 33 vertically connected to the front ends of the side arms 31, and a stop arm 35 vertically connected to the rear ends of the side arms 31. The data accessor 20 is received between the two side arms 31, the fixed arm 33 and the stop arm 35, and two sides of the data accessor 20 are respectively fixed to the inner side of the two side arms 31 through a lock. . The stopper arm 35 is provided with an opening 351 for exposing the connector 21 to the connector 21 at the rear of the data accessor 20. In the present embodiment, the fasteners that are fixed to the two side arms 31 on both sides of the data accessor 20 are screws 314. In other embodiments, the fasteners may be protrusions or other structural members that are respectively secured to the inside of the side arms 31.

The two elastic cushions 40 are made of a shock absorbing elastomer such as rubber or foam. The two elastic cushions 40 are fixed to the rear ends of the stopper arms 35 of the fixing frame 30 by being stuck or clamped, and are respectively located at two sides of the opening 351. A side of each of the elastic cushions 40 facing away from the blocking arm 35 is provided with a plurality of arcuate projections 42 arranged in an array.

Referring to FIG. 2 together, when the data access device fixing device 10 and the data access device 20 are mounted together and locked to a magnetic frame (not shown) in a casing of an electronic device, The two elastic cushions 40 at the rear end of the stopper arm 35 abut or elastically abut against a mounting plate 50 on the rear side of the magnetic frame, and a connector mounted on a circuit board 60 on the rear side of the mounting plate 50 61 is electrically connected to the mounting plate 50 and the opening 351 of the stopping arm 35 The connector 21 of the data accessor 20. When the electronic device is vibrated or impacted, the two elastic cushions 40 can absorb the direction of the mounting frame 30 toward the mounting plate 50 and the mounting plate 50 to the mounting frame 30, and the two elastic cushions The arcuate protrusions 42 on the 40 can be elastically deformed to absorb the misalignment vibration between the fixing frame 30 and the mounting plate 50 parallel to the mounting plate 50, so that the two elastic cushions 40 can absorb the three-dimensional spatial direction. The vibration, thereby effectively protecting the holder 30 and the data accessor 20, prevents the connector 21 of the data accessor 20 from being disconnected from the connector 61 on the circuit board 60 at the moment of shock or impact. To ensure safe and reliable signal transmission.

The material, the thickness and the pressing area of the two elastic cushions 40 can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the fixing frame 30 and the mounting plate 50. During use, the elastic cushion 40 is sandwiched between the fixing frame 30 and the mounting plate 50, and can fill or absorb the accumulated error of the manufacturing and assembly of the fixing frame 30 and the mounting plate 50, so that the fixing frame 30 And the data accessor 20 is firmly fixed.

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 description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention. Equivalent modifications or variations made by persons skilled in the art in light of the spirit of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
