Description

Hard disk storage device with heat dissipation function

The invention relates to an expansion card, in particular to a hard disk storage device with heat dissipation function.

In recent years, servers have often used hard disk cards, such as PCIE (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) cards or M.2 cards, to allow the motherboard to transmit signals to hardware devices or perform other expansion functions. Generally speaking, due to the limitation of the internal space of the server, the installation space of the expansion card is very limited and it is often installed behind high-heat electronic components such as the CPU, resulting in the heat generated by the operation of the expansion card being unable to be effectively dissipated, causing the expansion card to overheat. Therefore, there is currently a method of installing a heat dissipation module on the expansion card to effectively ensure that the expansion card performs heat dissipation. However, it is usually necessary to prepare additional screws and locking tools, and the user needs to take the trouble to perform complicated locking actions to install the heat dissipation module on the expansion card. The assembly is very troublesome and causes trouble to the user. It is worth careful consideration and further discussion and improvement by practitioners.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hard disk storage device that is tool-free to assemble and has a heat dissipation function.

Therefore, the new hard disk storage device with heat dissipation function includes a mounting frame, a sliding cover combined with the mounting frame, a motherboard unit arranged in the mounting frame, a hard disk card unit detachably combined with the mounting frame, and a heat dissipation unit detachably combined with the mounting frame and covering the hard disk card unit.

The mounting frame includes a base unit, two side wall units extending from two opposite sides of the base unit in a direction away from the base unit, and a connecting frame module connecting the base unit and the side wall unit. The base unit, the side wall unit and the connecting frame module jointly define a containing space. The connecting frame module has a coupling slot.

The sliding cover is arranged on the side wall unit of the mounting frame and can move horizontally relative to the side wall unit. The sliding cover and the connecting frame module are located at two opposite ends of the side wall unit. The sliding cover has a buckle.

The mainboard unit includes a mainboard located in the accommodation space and a connector arranged on the mainboard. The hard disk card unit is detachably plugged into the connector combined with the mainboard unit and is located in the accommodation space of the installation frame.

The heat dissipation unit includes a heat sink module covering the hard disk card unit, a coupling sheet extending from the heat sink module toward the coupling slot of the connecting frame module, and a positioning sheet extending from the heat sink module toward the sliding cover. The positioning sheet has a positioning groove for the clip of the sliding cover to be clipped and coupled. The coupling piece of the heat sink unit is inserted into the coupling slot of the connecting frame module and the heat sink module is moved to cover the hard disk card unit, and the positioning piece of the heat sink unit corresponds to the sliding cover, and the sliding cover is moved in the direction of the positioning piece and the sliding cover is inserted into the positioning piece so that the snap-fitting part of the sliding cover is buckled into the positioning groove, and the positioning piece links the heat sink module to press against the hard disk card unit. At this time, the heat sink unit is fixed on the mounting frame and covers the hard disk card unit.

The effect of the present invention is that the heat sink module is moved to cover the hard disk card unit by inserting the coupling piece of the heat sink unit into the coupling slot of the connecting frame module, and the positioning piece of the heat sink unit corresponds to the design of the sliding cover, and the clamping piece of the sliding cover can be clamped and combined with the positioning groove of the positioning piece. As long as the sliding cover is moved toward the positioning piece and the sliding cover is inserted into the positioning piece, the clamping piece of the sliding cover is buckled into the positioning groove, and the positioning piece links the heat sink module to press against the hard disk card unit, so that the heat sink unit is fixed on the installation frame and covers the hard disk card unit, and the tool-free assembly operation is effectively achieved. Furthermore, the heat sink unit covers and closely contacts the hard disk card unit, thereby effectively performing heat dissipation on the hard disk card unit.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar components are represented by the same reference numerals in the following description.

Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, an embodiment of the hard disk storage device 1 with heat dissipation function of the present invention comprises a mounting frame 2, a sliding cover 3 coupled to the mounting frame 2, a motherboard unit 4 disposed in the mounting frame 2, a hard disk card unit 5 detachably coupled to the mounting frame 2, and a heat dissipation unit 6 detachably coupled to the mounting frame 2 and covering the hard disk card unit 5.

The heat dissipation unit 6 includes a heat sink module 61 covering the hard disk card unit 5, a coupling sheet 62 extending from the heat sink module 61 toward the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23, and a positioning sheet 63 extending from the heat sink module 61 toward the sliding cover 3. The positioning sheet 63 has a positioning groove 631 for the locking member 31 of the sliding cover 3 to be locked and coupled. The coupling piece 62 of the heat sink unit 6 is inserted into the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23 and the heat sink module 61 is moved to cover the hard disk card unit 5, and the positioning piece 63 of the heat sink unit 6 corresponds to the sliding cover 3, and the sliding cover 3 is moved in the direction of the positioning piece 63 and the sliding cover 3 is inserted into the positioning piece 63 so that the buckle 31 of the sliding cover 3 is buckled into the positioning groove 631, and the positioning piece 63 links the heat sink module 61 to press against the hard disk card unit 5. At this time, the heat sink unit 6 is fixed on the mounting frame 2 and covers the hard disk card unit 5.

During assembly, the hard disk card unit 5 is first inserted into the connector 42 of the motherboard unit 4 and placed in the accommodation space 24 of the mounting frame 2 as shown in FIG2 . It should be particularly noted that the mounting frame 2 further includes a fixing unit 25 for fixing the motherboard 41 of the motherboard unit 4 to the base unit 21. The motherboard 41 has a plurality of mounting holes 411. The fixing unit 25 has a plurality of locking members 251. The locking members 251 penetrate the base unit 21 and lock into the mounting holes 411 of the motherboard 41 so that the motherboard 41 is fixed to the base unit 21. That is, the motherboard 41 is pre-fixed on the base unit 21 by the locking member 251 passing through the base unit 21 and locking into the mounting hole 411 of the motherboard 41 as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 6, so as to facilitate the subsequent assembly operation, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Incidentally, in this embodiment, the hard disk card unit 5 is in the form of an M.2 expansion card, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and may also be in the form of a PCIE card or other expansion cards.

Next, the heat sink unit 6 is assembled on the mounting frame 2, and the coupling piece 62 of the heat sink unit 6 is inserted into the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23 as shown in FIG. 3 , and the heat sink module 61 is moved to cover the hard disk card unit 5, and the positioning piece 63 of the heat sink unit 6 corresponds to the sliding cover 3 as shown in FIG. 4 . At this time, the coupling piece 62 of the heat sink unit 6 is positioned in the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23 and is blocked and limited by the connecting frame module 23 (see FIG. 6 ). Finally, the slide cover 3 is moved toward the positioning piece 63 and inserted into the positioning piece 63 so that the buckle of the slide cover 3 is buckled into the positioning groove 631 as shown in FIG. 6 , and the positioning piece 63 is linked to the heat sink module 61 to press against the hard disk card unit 5. At this time, the positioning piece 63 of the heat sink unit 6 is blocked and limited by the slide cover 3 (see FIG. 5 ), and the assembly action of fixing the heat sink unit 6 on the mounting frame 2 is completed, and the heat sink module 61 covers and presses against the hard disk card unit 5 to perform heat dissipation on the hard disk card unit 5.

By inserting the coupling piece 62 of the heat sink unit 6 into the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23 and moving the heat sink module 61 to cover the hard disk card unit 5, the positioning piece 63 of the heat sink unit 6 corresponds to the design of the sliding cover 3, and the fastener 31 of the sliding cover 3 can be fastened and coupled to the positioning groove 631 of the positioning piece 63. As long as the sliding cover 3 is moved toward the positioning piece 63 and the sliding cover 3 is inserted into the positioning piece 63, the fastener 31 of the sliding cover 3 is fastened into the positioning groove 631, and the positioning piece 63 links the heat sink module 61 to press against the hard disk card unit 5, so that the heat sink unit 6 is fixed on the mounting frame 2 and covers the hard disk card unit 5, and the tool-free assembly operation is effectively achieved. Furthermore, by the ingenious design that the heat sink unit covers and closely contacts the hard disk card unit 5, the hard disk card unit 5 is effectively heat-dissipated.

Here, it is particularly noted that, in this embodiment, each side wall unit 22 of the mounting frame 2 has a side wall 221, and a guide rail 222 disposed on the side wall 221 and extending from the side wall 221 toward the sliding cover 3. The sliding cover 3 also has a sliding cover body 32, and two slide groove portions 33 disposed on two opposite sides of the sliding cover body 32 and sleeved with the guide rail 222 of the side wall unit 22. The slide groove portion 33 of the sliding cover 3 can move horizontally relative to the guide rail 222. The buckle 31 of the slide cover 3 is arranged on the slide cover body 32 and extends from the slide cover body 32 to the direction of the positioning groove 631 of the positioning piece 63 of the heat sink unit 6, and can be detachably buckled into the positioning groove 631. In short, the slide groove portion 33 of the slide cover 3 is designed to be sleeved and combined with the guide rail 222 of the side wall unit 22 as shown in FIG. 1 and can move horizontally relative to the guide rail 222. When the heat sink module 61 of the heat sink unit 6 is attached to the hard disk card unit 5 as shown in FIG. 4 and the positioning piece 63 of the heat sink unit 6 corresponds to the slide cover 3, the slide cover 3 can be moved to the positioning piece 63 of the heat sink unit 6. 3 and the snap member 31 of the slide cover 3 is snapped into the positioning groove 631 of the positioning piece 63 so that the heat sink unit 6 is fixed on the mounting frame 2 and the heat sink module 61 covers and presses against the hard disk card unit 5, that is, the snap member 31 of the slide cover 3 is snapped into the positioning groove 631 of the positioning piece 63 so that the heat sink module 61 as a whole presses against the hard disk card unit 5, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In particular, in this embodiment, the slide cover 3 also has a gripping portion 34 disposed on the slide cover body 32. In short, the design of the gripping portion 34 allows the user to directly apply force to the gripping portion 34 to drive the slide cover body 32 to move, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

It should also be noted that, in this embodiment, the coupling piece 62 of the heat sink unit 6 has a coupling protrusion 621 that can be detachably inserted into the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23. When the coupling protrusion 621 of the coupling piece 62 is inserted into the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23 and the heat sink module 61 is moved to cover the hard disk card unit 5, the coupling protrusion 621 is blocked and limited by the connecting frame module 23. That is, the coupling protrusion 621 of the coupling sheet 62 of the heat sink unit 6 is inserted into the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23 as shown in FIG. 3 and the heat sink module 61 is moved toward the hard disk card and moved to cover the hard disk card unit 5. At this time, the coupling protrusion 621 is blocked and limited by the connecting frame module 23 (see FIG. 6 ) so that the coupling protrusion 621 of the coupling sheet 62 is positioned in the coupling slot 231 of the connecting frame module 23, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In summary, the present invention has a heat dissipation function for hard disk storage device 1.
