Description

Cascadable hard disk support

The present invention relates to a hard disk support frame, and more particularly to a hard disk support frame which is connected in series in parallel with the user's needs.

The common hard disk support frames on the market are pre-installed with the maximum number of hard disk storages. Therefore, when the number of hard disks that the user wants to expand exceeds the maximum number of hard disk storages, only the entire hard disk can be replaced. Disc support set. In this way, the old hard disk support frame will be wasted, and the new hard disk support frame will cost an extra fee, so it is relatively inconvenient and uneconomical to use.

It is a pity that there is currently no hard disk support frame that can be freely assembled and easily disassembled, so that users can expand or cut down the number of hard disk insertions as needed, so if they can improve the above problems, And design, will provide a niche market and make products more competitive.

In view of the above, the main object of the present invention is to improve the above problems and provide a serially connectable hard disk support frame, so that the user can perform serial connection as needed to change the number of hard disks to be expanded.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a hard disk support frame that can be connected in series The combination method is relatively simple and easy.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a serially connectable hard disk support frame, comprising a casing having at least one first side plate and a second side plate opposite to each other, and a bottom plate connecting the first side plate and the second side plate The side panel and an opening are located between the bottom panel, the first side panel and the second side panel. The at least one first side plate is provided with two fixing grooves toward the outer side of the housing, respectively, and is adjacent to and away from the opening, and the second side plate is disposed on one side of the outer side of the housing, and two fixing posts respectively correspond to the two fixing grooves.

Therefore, when the user needs to change the number of hard disks to be used, the user can disassemble or assemble the other hard disk support frames by the fixing posts and the fixing slots on the side plates, and the entire disassembly and assembly. The process is relatively simple and easy, thus improving the ease of use.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of another perspective view of a hard disk support frame in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the hard disk support frame in series after being connected in a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

In order to better understand the features of the present invention, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment and is described below with reference to the drawings. Referring to Figures 1 to 4, the present invention is a 3.5-inch hard disk D as an example object. Other sizes, such as a 2.5" hard disk, and for convenience of explanation, the following description is based on the hard disk support 1 being erected, and the opening 15 is located at the front end of the housing 10. quasi. The main components of the hard disk support frame 1 of the present invention include a housing 10 and a tray 20. The structure of each component and the relationship between them are as follows: Refer to Figures 1 to 2, wherein the housing 10 is Forming a C-shaped cross-section from a single body, sequentially connecting a first side panel 11 , a top panel 12 , a second side panel 13 , a bottom panel 14 and another first side panel 11 from top to bottom, and An opening 15 formed by the end edges of the above-mentioned plates, such that the opening 15 is located between the two first side plates 11, the top plate 12, the second side plate 13 and the bottom plate 14, and the opening 15 is used for Load hard disk D. The top panel 12 is substantially parallel to the bottom panel 14, and the first side panel 11 is substantially parallel to the second side panel 13.

The two first side plates 11 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the housing 10, and the two first side plates 11 are respectively provided with a fixing groove 111 toward the surface other than the housing 10. The fixing groove 111 of the first side plate 11 of the upper end is relatively far away from the opening 15 , and the other is relatively close to the opening 15 , so that the distances of the two fixing grooves 111 relative to the bottom plate 14 and the opening 15 are unequal, and each fixing is fixed. The grooves 111 are formed integrally extending from the surface of the first side plate 11 toward the outside of the casing 10.

Please refer to Figure 3 below. The second side plate 13 is riveted to a surface other than the housing 10 with two fixing posts 131. The two fixing posts 131 are disposed at positions corresponding to the two fixing slots 111. The hard disk support frame 1 can be connected to the fixing column 131 of the adjacent another hard disk support frame 1 by the fixing groove 111 of the first side plate 11 , so that the hard disk support frames 1 can be Side by side, as shown in Figure 4. In addition, the second side plate 13 is selectively provided with two elastic arms 132 to moderately fix the hard disk D.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, the bottom plate 14 is provided with two elongated grooves 141, and the bottom plate 14 is provided with a stopper 16 upward with respect to one end of the opening 15. The tray 20 is disposed on the bottom plate 14 and is provided with two screw holes (not shown), so that the tray 20 can be locked by the screw S through the groove 141. The two screw holes are slidably disposed on the bottom plate 14. A surface of the upper surface of the tray 20, that is, a surface relatively away from the bottom plate 14, is provided with a stud 21 corresponding to the screw hole H on the side of the hard disk D, so that the hard disk D can be fixed and supported on the tray 20. In addition, a front end of the tray 20 is provided with a pressing portion 22, and when the rear end of the tray 20 contacts the blocking portion 16, the pressing portion 22 protrudes out of the opening 15, thereby facilitating the user to apply force to the pressing of the tray 20. The part 22 is pulled out of the hard disk D.

Returning to FIG. 2, the front and rear ends of the top plate 12 are provided with two circular holes 121 corresponding to the side screw holes H of the hard disk D for screwing and fixing the hard disk D. In addition, two elastic arms 122 are selectively disposed between the two circular holes 121 to moderately abut the fixed hard disk D.

In use, when the user wants to expand the hard disk D, the user can fix the fixing post 131 or the fixing slot 111 of the new hard disk support frame 1 to the other hard disk support frame 1, thus completing the hard disk. The support frames 1 are connected side by side in series. The entire splicing process is relatively simple and easy, allowing the user to assemble or disassemble the number of hard disks D required, which is convenient.

Next, when the hard disk D is to be loaded into the hard disk support 1 , the user can first pull the tray 20 by the pressing portion 22 , and then align the screw holes H on the side of the hard disk D with the tray 20 . The stud 21 allows the hard disk D to be supported and fixed to the tray 20 to be pushed into the casing 10, and other screws S can be used to lock the other screw holes H of the hard disk D. On the other hand, to remove the hard disk D, simply loosen the screw S and pull out the tray 20, so that the hard disk D can be easily taken out.

It should be noted that although the first side panel 11 of the embodiment is formed as two separate pieces, the first side panel 11 described above may be changed into a complete piece. In addition, the number of the fixing grooves 111 and the installation position may be increased or changed as long as the number and position of the fixing posts 131 are also changed accordingly.

Finally, it must be stated again that the present invention is disclosed in the foregoing embodiments. The constituent elements are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Other structural changes that are easily conceivable, or alternative changes with other equivalent elements, are also covered by the scope of the patent application.
