Elastic positioning structure of removable hard disk

The present invention relates to a fixed structure of a removable hard disk case, and more particularly to a positioning structure of a removable hard disk case and a casing.

With the popularity of computers, various computer peripherals on the market are constantly being updated to meet the needs of users. For example, an external hard disk (hard disk is set in the removable hard disk case, and then the removable hard disk case is inserted in the chassis), because of the advantages of plug and play, and can be used as a backup file or a large amount of audio and video multimedia. The use of information has been widely adopted by the public.

The assembly of the removable hard disk case can directly replace the hard disk by means of extraction, and has the convenience of use since it does not need to be disassembled from the host computer. Therefore, in use, the hard disk of the removable hard disk case is more favored by consumers than the traditional hard disk.

However, most of the current removable hard disk cases use hand tools to lock the screws to the casing for fixing purposes. On the other hand, when the hard disk device is to be removed, the screws must be removed first by using hand tools. The removable hard drive case can be removed from the chassis. Since the screws are usually symmetrically locked to the two sides of the removable hard disk case in use, when the locking is performed, there are often problems of difficulty in positioning and uneven force. Moreover, the several screws that have been removed are not easy to collect and store, and are easily lost, and must be assisted by hand tools during disassembly and assembly, which causes cumbersome and inconvenient disassembly process, and needs to be improved.

In view of this, in order to achieve the above objectives, the creator has devoted himself to researching and cooperating with the application of theory, and finally proposed a creation that is reasonable in design and effective in improving the above-mentioned defects.

One of the aims of the present invention is to provide a positioning structure of a removable hard disk, and the removable box body is easily positioned on the casing to achieve the purpose of simplifying the assembly mode.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is an elastic positioning structure for a removable hard disk, including a casing, a removable casing and a hard disk cartridge. The casing is a frame body having a receiving space, and the casing has a plurality of sliding rails and a buckled groove. The removable box body comprises a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates extending perpendicularly from the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate and the side plates are provided with a bearing space, wherein one side plate has a resilient arm, and the elastic arm extends obliquely away from the bearing space to have a positioning piece, and the positioning piece has Position the block. The hard disk case is internally provided with a hard disk, and the hard disk case is disposed in the carrying space, and one side of the hard disk case is provided with a positioning hole corresponding to the positioning block; wherein the removable box body is placed into the receiving space along the sliding rail The elastic arm is deformed by the casing and deformed toward the bearing space, so that the positioning block is positioned in the positioning hole, and when the removable box slides out of the accommodating space along the sliding rail, one side of the elastic arm is self-retaining Eject and buckle on the buckle groove.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an elastic positioning structure for a removable hard disk, wherein the removable box system has a buckle and a buckle groove is arranged in the casing, thereby positioning the screw cover in the casing to reach the removable box. The purpose of positioning the body on the casing.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an elastic positioning structure for a removable hard disk. The removable casing can be used without being completely detached from the casing, and the user can directly extract the hard disk cartridge from the removable casing.

Compared with the prior art, the elastic positioning structure of the removable hard disk of the present invention comprises a casing, a removable box and a hard disk box, and the positioning method is implemented by providing a elastic arm on one side of the removable box body, and The positioning block is formed on the elastic arm; and a positioning hole is arranged on one side of the hard disk case. When the removable box is placed in the casing, the elastic arm is blocked by the casing and deformed toward the bearing space, so that the positioning block is positioned in the positioning hole, thereby positioning the hard disk box in the removable box to achieve a simplified group. Set the purpose of the method. Moreover, the removable box body can be positioned in the casing, and the elastic positioning method can greatly simplify the assembly and disassembly process, thereby increasing the practicality of the creation.

The hard disk case 30 (equipped with a hard disk, not shown) is fixed in the removable casing 20, and the removable casing 20 is positioned with the casing 10 to position the removable hard disk. The casing 10.

The casing 10 is a metal casing. The casing 10 is a frame having an accommodating space 100, and the casing 10 has a plurality of sliding rails 11 and a buckled groove 15. In an embodiment of the present invention, the slide rails 11 are formed by stamping, so that the casing 10 is formed with a slot 12 on one side of each of the slide rails 11.

Referring to the second and third figures, the removable casing 20 includes a bottom plate 21 and a plurality of side plates 22 extending perpendicularly from the bottom plate 21, and the bottom plate 21 and the side plates 22 are surrounded by a bearing space 200. The removable casing 20 is inserted into the accommodating space 100 of the casing 10, and the one side plate 22 has a resilient arm 23. A positioning piece 231 is disposed obliquely of the elastic arm 23 in a direction away from the bearing space 200. The positioning piece 231 has a positioning block 232. The number of the elastic arms 23 is not limited. In the present embodiment, the removable casing 20 has a plurality of elastic arms 23, and the elastic arms 23 are symmetrically disposed on the front and rear sides of the side plates 22.

In an embodiment of the present invention, an opposite front opening 221 and a rear opening 222 are formed between the two side panels 22. In addition, the removable casing 20 further includes a screw cap 24 pivotally mounted on the bottom plate 21 to cover the front opening 221. Furthermore, the cap 24 has an opposite pivot end 241 and a free end 242. The pivoting end 241 is rotatably coupled to the base plate 21, and the free end 242 is selectively positionable on the housing 10.

Preferably, the cap 24 is formed with a buckle 243 at the free end 242. The casing 10 is correspondingly provided with a buckle slot 13 , and the buckle 243 is fastened into the buckle slot 13 to make the cap 24 The free end 242 is positioned on the casing 10. Moreover, the cap 24 can further be provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 244 and a clip hole 245. The clip hole 245 is located adjacent to the buckle 243, and the clip hole 245 is provided for the user to buckle to open the screw cap 24.

The hard disk case 30 is internally provided with a hard disk (not shown), and the hard disk case 30 is disposed in the carrying space 200 of the removable case 20, and one side of the hard disk case 30 is elastic. The positioning block 232 of the arm 23 is provided with a positioning hole 31.
