Fixing device for removable access device

The present invention relates to a fixing device, and more particularly to a fixing device for a removable access device that is easy to replace the access device and has a shock absorbing function.

According to today's computer technology, the computer technology is growing at a rapid rate. The development trend of the computer is mainly toward the powerful computing function, fast speed and small size, so that the number of communication ports of the computer-related peripheral devices and access devices (such as disk) The number of machines, hard drives, CD players, burners, etc. is also reduced, and the way of fixing or disassembling the housings of the computer mainframe and the access devices contained therein must be simpler and cannot be used too much. The space can be used to effectively reduce the trend of the computer gradually shrinking.

Generally, a server, a storage cabinet, or a telecom cabinet has a large number of access devices (such as a hard disk, a CD player, a burning machine, etc.), and when the user replaces or maintains each access device, The removal and replacement of the housing between the housing and the access device contained therein must be simpler and faster, and the manufacturing cost of the assembly structure and components must be taken into account, which can meet the cost and demand of the large number of access devices.

In addition, for long-term use of storage cabinets or telecom cabinets, it is necessary to take into account the stability of the overall system and the convenience of maintenance and replacement, and to facilitate user operations to reduce the loss of downtime and manpower, but the current When using the access device in the fixed storage cabinet or the telecom cabinet, most of them use the screw locking method. The time required to align the screws one by one and lock into the fixing screw hole is quite long, so that the operation is stopped. The maintenance time is greatly increased. If the frame of the server chassis is thin and the height between the frames is not high, both the server chassis and the storage or telecom cabinet are covered with interface cards, hard disks and power cables. Etc., it is very inconvenient to extend the hand tool into the locking action, or even cause the screw to fall off during the locking period, and the screw may be lost if the screw is not sized and locked, so that the fixing screw of the access device is easily made. Hole damage is not conducive to assembly or disassembly.

In order to avoid the above situation, the hard disk may be screwed into the frame structure, and then the frame structure is locked and fixed in the casing, thereby fixing the hard disk in the casing. The following describes a common electronic device extraction frame structure, in which a hard disk is fixed to a box body, and the hard disk is fixed in the housing through the combination between the box body, the cover body and the casing; The frame structure of the frame must still be locked by screws, so that the process of disassembling and disassembling the hard disk is cumbersome and cannot be quickly replaced, and the external force impact and the vibration of the machine cannot be effectively prevented in the locking design. .

Generally, hard disks installed on computers and servers cannot be avoided. In the environment of vibration, especially the environment of industrial computers is worse. In the environment of vibration, the hard disk will not only shorten the service life, but also have sudden failures. The hard disk is precise and sensitive. Therefore, any vibration may cause damage to the hard disk, which may destroy the data stored in the hard disk, and may even cause the entire hard disk to be completely incapable of reading and writing data. Therefore, for the purpose of protecting the hard disk, the hard disk in the computer and the server is provided with an anti-vibration component that can absorb the vibration generated by the hard disk drive, so as to maintain the stability and safety of the system operation, the anti-vibration component of the hard disk drive It is even more important.
