Description

M256511 IV. Creation Description (1) [Technical Field to which the New Type belongs] This creation relates to the design of a connection mechanism between components of an information device, especially a fixed mechanism design of a tool-less electronic storage device. [Previous technology] Various electronic storage devices, such as hard disk drives, optical disk drives, or floppy disk drives, are generally assembled by screwing them to the casing with screws. This screw fixing method requires the use of screws and tools. This makes assembly or disassembly quite time-consuming, and the small screws are also easy to be scattered and lost, which is extremely inconvenient.

As for the hard disk drive, the fixing mechanism as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5, 3, 4, 9, 3, 3, is formed by forming a plurality of screw holes on a box body and a hard disk drive, and forming a number on a cover. Two fixing holes, then screw the upper cover to the hard disk drive, store the hard disk drive in the box, and then fix the upper cover to the box with screws, and fix the box containing the fixed hard disk drive to the computer. Inside the rack.

The assembly process of the above-mentioned traditional fixed mechanism is extremely cumbersome, which will become a bottleneck in the production process, further affecting the product delivery time and reducing market competitiveness. In addition, when facing common problems such as installation, installation, maintenance, and overhaul, you need to use a screwdriver to assist the operation, disassemble the external structure of the hard disk drive, and loosen the screws one by one, which is not only time consuming, but also may cause a long time Screws are rusty, screws bite, etc. Therefore, the above methods have gradually been under pressure from improvement. For example, Chinese Patent Bulletin Nos. 5 0 6 5 6 1 and 5 6 2 2 21 provide fixed mechanisms that are easier to operate. In No. 5 0 6 5 6 No. 1, it is through a rotatable buckle

Page 5 M256511 4. Creation instructions (2) The buckle between the film and the fixing base can be used to fasten the hard disk drive to the bottom plate of the computer case when the hard disk drive is against the positioning plate. And in No. 5 6 2 2 21, a rotatable fixed body and a storage rack for accommodating a hard disk drive are also designed. When the hard disk drive with several sliding parts on both sides slides along the storage rack, When the slot slides in, the fixed body can snap the hard disk drive to the receiving rack. The above-mentioned conventional technologies all use simple rotation operations of the fastening device to control the fastening and loosening of the electronic storage device. However, the operation process requires additional actions of the rotation fastening device. 2. Increasing requirements to reduce production costs can be further redoubled to improve. [New content] The main purpose of this creation is to provide an electronic storage device fixing mechanism, which can simplify the assembly steps of the electronic storage device to simplify the production process. In view of the problems of the conventional technology, the present invention provides an electronic storage device fixing mechanism, which mainly includes a plurality of fixing elements, a base, and an elastic element, wherein the base is provided with a pair of positioning plates, and the positioning plates are respectively provided with a long groove and a sliding plate. Slot, through the fixing elements fixed on both sides of the electronic storage device, slide in along the long slot and the sliding groove of the positioning plate, and simultaneously open the elastic element and slide into the long slot and the bottom of the sliding slot, so that these fixing elements are respectively topped The electronic storage device is fixed against the inner side of the long groove and between the elastic element and the slide groove. Regarding the characteristics and implementation of this creation, a detailed description of a preferred embodiment with the illustrations is as follows:

A plurality of front fixing elements 32 () and rear fixing elements 3 2 2 are fixed to the hard disk drive 2 〇 〇 On the two sides, and at the opposite positions to the long slot 3 na and the sub slot 3 1 1 b, the hard disk drive 2 can run along the long slot 3 through the front fixing element 3 2 0 and the rear fixing element 3 2 2. 1 1 a slides with the sliding groove 3 1 1 b. In addition, an elastic element 3 3 0 is more firmly fixed on the outside of the sliding groove 3 丨 丨 b on the base 3 1 0 near the positioning plate 3 丨 1. The elastic element 3 3〇 has Elasticity, used to limit the range of movement of the rear fastening element 3 2 2 in the chute 3 1 1 b. In this embodiment, the elastic element 3 2 0 is one of two pieces fixed at one end to the base 3 ′ 0, including a fixing The end 332 and a warped end 331 inclined upward and outward, the fixed end 3 3 2 has a horseshoe shape, which can be used to clamp the rear fixing element 3 2 2 to restrict its movement ', and the warped end 3 3 1 can limit the rear fixed element The sliding direction of 3 2 2 is convenient to apply force. The following describes the electronic storage device fixing method of the preferred embodiment of this creation. First, 'align the fixing element 3 2 〇 before the front end of the hard disk drive 200. Cao 3 1 1 a 'Then push the hard disk drive 2 0 forward, so that the front fixing element 3 2 0 moves down the open end of the long slot 3 1 1 a, and then translates along its horizontal section, and when M256511
