The scope of the invention can be implemented, and the change or adjustment of the relative relationship is considered to be within the scope of the invention.

The purpose of this embodiment is to provide a hard disk carrier for solving the problem that the fixing member is easily loosened after the hard disk is repeatedly attached and detached, and the hard disk cannot be stably fixed. The principle and embodiment of a hard disk carrier of this embodiment will be described in detail below, so that a hard disk carrier of the embodiment can be understood by those skilled in the art without any creative work.

Please refer to the first figure, which is a schematic structural view of the hard disk carrier of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the present embodiment provides a hard disk carrier 1 including a support portion 10, a tray 11, and a resilient piece 12.

The hard disk carrier 1 can be fixed in a hard disk holder. The support portion 10 is for supporting the fixed tray 11 and the elastic piece 12. The support portion 10 has at least one fixing surface for fixing to the tray 11 and the elastic piece 12. The shape of the support portion 10 can be set corresponding to the specific structure of the hard disk holder to which the hard disk tray 1 is fixed. Specifically, the support portion 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

The tray 11 is connected to the side of the support portion 10, and the tray 11 has a chassis 110 and side walls 111 protruding from one side edge of the chassis 110. The tray 11 is connected to the support portion 10 by rivets. Specifically, a groove 112 is disposed on the chassis 110.

The groove 112 is for matingly connecting with the hook member on the hard disk holder to fix the hard disk holder 1 to the hard disk holder. The size of the groove 112 and the opening position of the groove 112 on the chassis 110 can be adjusted according to the requirements of the hook component on the hard disk holder.

In addition, in the embodiment, the chassis 110 has a convex structure 113 at a top corner of the opposite side of the side connected to the support portion 10. The protruding structure 113 is provided with a screw, so that the chassis 110 is further penetrated by the screw. The hard disk holder is fixed.

The elastic piece 12 is suspended above the tray 11. The first end of the elastic piece 12 is fixed to the supporting portion 10. The second end of the elastic piece 12 forms a hook portion. The elastic piece 12 and the tray 11 form a clamping space for holding a hard disk. Wherein, when the hard disk is not inserted into the chassis 110, the vertical distance between the second end of the elastic piece 12 and the chassis 110 is smaller than the thickness of the hard disk. Specifically, the first end of the elastic piece 12 is connected to the support portion 10 through the rivet, and the second end of the elastic piece 12 includes: a first bent portion 121 bent obliquely downward toward the support portion 10 and a front end edge of the second end The second bent portion 122 is bent upward, wherein the first bent portion 121 and the first bent portion 122 are rounded bent portions.

When the hard disk is inserted into the chassis 110 along the bending direction of the second end of the elastic piece 12, the second end of the elastic piece 12 is elastically deformed upward to clamp the hard disk between the chassis 110 and the elastic piece 12, wherein the side wall of the tray 11 One side of the 111 stopper hard disk is used to fix the hard disk to the chassis 110 in cooperation with the elastic piece 12.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, when the hard disk is inserted into the chassis 110, the second end of the elastic piece 12 is elastically deformed upward by a height ranging from 5 millimeters (mm) to 11 mm.

In the present embodiment, the height at which the elastic piece 12 can be lifted up to a maximum of 11 mm. Since the thickest hard disk is generally 9 mm, when a hard disk having a thickness of 9 mm is inserted into the chassis 110, it can be known from the simulation results that the elastic piece 12 can be lifted by 9.3 mm and the hard disk is subjected to a pressure of 31 Newtons (N). The design pressure is 15N, and the maximum thickness of the hard disk is 9 mm. Therefore, even if the hard disk having the largest thickness is placed in the hard disk tray 1 in this embodiment, the actual demand can be satisfied.

In this embodiment, according to the pressure test result, the minimum clamping pressure generated by the elastic piece 12 to the hard disk is 7N, so that the hard disk can be ensured after the hard disk carrier 1 is placed in the embodiment. Dropped out of the hard disk tray 1.

In summary, the first end of the elastic piece in the hard disk bracket of the present invention is fixed, and the second end is suspended to form a hook portion, and a clamping space for holding a hard disk is formed between the elastic piece and the tray; When the chassis is inserted in the bending direction of the second end of the elastic piece, the second end of the elastic piece is elastically deformed upward to clamp the hard disk between the chassis and the elastic piece. The hard disk bracket of the present invention has no deformation after repeated fatigue test and actual disassembly test, so that the hard disk can be stably fixed after the hard disk is repeatedly disassembled. Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and its effects, and are not intended to limit the invention. Modifications or variations of the above-described embodiments may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention are still covered by the scope of the invention.
