Description

Hard disk assembly structure

technical field

The invention relates to a hard disk assembly structure, in particular to a hard disk assembly structure with an elastic buckle.

Background technique

With the advancement of technology, computers have become an indispensable tool in our daily life. Generally speaking, there are many main components in a computer, such as CD-ROM drive, magnetic disk drive, hard disk drive, etc. Among them, the hard disk provides cheap, high-speed and large-capacity data storage and retrieval space, which can be used as a storage operating system, applications, user data, etc. Therefore, most of the software and data required for computer use are stored in the hard disk, which can be said to be the most important data storage component of the computer.

Generally, hard disks are mostly installed inside the computer. In order to firmly install the hard disk in the computer, first the hard disk needs to be fixed in a fixed frame of a host computer, and the side of the fixed frame has a plurality of screw holes. The fixing holes correspond to each other, so that the frame and the hard disk can be locked and combined by screws. It is known that hard disks need to rely on a large number of screws for locking assembly and disassembly. Not only the assembly is labor-intensive but also the production speed is slow, which virtually increases the installation cost of the hard disk.

In addition, when the hard disk is to be repaired, replaced, or expanded, a large number of screws must be loosened with tools such as a screwdriver before the hard disk can be installed and disassembled. Therefore, how to improve the loading and unloading efficiency of the hard disk will be one of the problems that the research and development personnel should start to solve.

Another problem that the industry generally faces at present is that although the hard disk can be installed on an assembly frame first, the quick release and quick installation structure on the assembly frame and the fixed frame can be quickly installed on the fixed frame of the host to solve the internal problem of the host. Due to the lack of space, it is not easy to lock the screws. However, if the hard disk is locked on the assembly frame using the previous screw-lock assembly method, due to the restrictions of the screw regulations, the screws often protrude from the assembly frame. This results in an increase in the overall volume of the assembled assembly frame. In this way, the assembly frame will interfere with the fixed frame of the host, causing inconvenience in assembly, or the structure of the corresponding fixed frame needs to be further modified to enable smooth assembly.

Contents of the invention

The present invention is to provide a hard disk assembly structure, so as to improve the loading and unloading efficiency of the hard disk and avoid the inconvenience of assembly caused by the increased volume of the assembled hard disk assembly structure.

The hard disk assembling structure disclosed in the present invention is used for assembling a hard disk device. The hard disk device has two first buckles. The hard disk assembly structure includes a frame body, two elastic plate bodies and two sliding bodies. The frame body includes a joint arm and two cantilever arms with slots. The opposite ends of the linking arm are respectively connected with two cantilevers. The two suspension arms are used for installing the hard disk device between the two suspension arms. The two elastic boards are respectively located at the slots of the two cantilevers, and each elastic board has a connecting end and a buckle end opposite to each other. The connecting ends of the two elastic boards are respectively connected to the two cantilevers. The buckle ends of the two elastic boards are suspended in the through groove and each has a pair of second buckle parts corresponding to the first buckle part. The two sliding bodies are respectively slidably arranged on the two cantilever arms. The sliding body is located between the cantilever and the elastic plate body. By sliding the sliding body from the connecting end of the elastic plate body to the buckle end, the buckle end of the elastic plate body is pressed to deform and move inward, making it The second buckle is fastened to the first buckle, which means that the two sliding bodies can slide relative to the two cantilevers respectively to have a buckle position relatively close to the buckle end and a release position relatively far away from the buckle end. When the second sliding body is at the release position, the buckle ends of the two elastic boards are normally relatively far away so that the second buckle parts are disengaged from the first buckle parts. When the two sliding bodies are at the buckling position, the buckling ends of the two elastic boards constrained by the two sliding bodies get close to each other so that the two second buckle parts are fastened to the two first buckle parts.

According to the above-mentioned hard disk assembly structure disclosed in the present invention, the two sliding bodies are slidably arranged on the two cantilever arms, and the two second buckles are engaged with the two first buckles by the cooperation between the elastic plate and the sliding body. part or come out from the two first buckle parts, so as to further improve the loading and unloading efficiency between the hard disk assembly structure and the hard disk device. Furthermore, because the hard disk assembly structure of the present invention reduces the burden on the cantilever through the deformation capability of the elastic plate and the design of the elastic plate and the cantilever being closely stacked, it does not affect the hard disk assembly structure on the mainframe when the space in the mainframe is limited. within the installation efficiency, improve the overall reliability.
