[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This utility model embodiment provides a network-attached storage device, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the network attached storage device includes a main body 1 and a hard disk tray 2. The hard disk tray 2 is provided on the main body 1, and the hard disk tray 2 is inserted into the hard disk tray 2. First guide grooves 21 extending along the insertion direction of the hard disk tray 2 are provided on both sides of the hard disk tray 2. First side plates 12 are provided on opposite sides of the hard disk tray 2. First guide protrusions 121 extending along the insertion direction of the hard disk tray 2 are provided on the first side plates 12. First elastic abutment 1211 is provided on the first guide protrusions 121. The first guide protrusions 121 are slidably inserted into the first guide grooves 21, and the first elastic abutment 1211 abuts against the bottom wall of the first guide grooves 21.

[0029] The network attached storage hard drive tray 2 of this invention achieves the insertion and positioning of the hard drive tray 2 within the hard drive tray 2 through the cooperation of the first guide groove 21 and the first guide protrusion 121. Furthermore, the first guide protrusion 121 is further provided with a first elastic abutment 1211. When the hard drive tray 2 is inserted, the first elastic abutment 1211 can elastically rest against the bottom wall of the first guide groove 21, generating a pre-tightening force, thereby achieving the positioning of the hard drive tray 2 within the hard drive tray 2. The hard drive tray 2 is less prone to shaking, reducing the risk of poor connection of the hard drive 3.

[0030] Specifically, the hard drive tray 2 is used for inserting one or more hard drive trays 2, which is not specifically limited here. The network attached storage device also includes a hard drive 3, which is installed on the hard drive tray 2, and the hard drive tray 2 is then inserted into the hard drive tray 2 for operation. The specific implementation can adopt conventional technical means in this field, which is not specifically limited here.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the sidewall of the first guide groove 21 is provided with a second elastic abutment 221, which abuts against the sidewall of the first guide protrusion 121. The interaction between the second elastic abutment 221 and the sidewall of the first guide protrusion 121 further enhances the lateral stability of the hard drive tray 2, reduces swaying, and lowers the risk of poor connection. Two second elastic abutments 221 can be provided on the sidewall of each first guide groove 21 to improve the stability of the hard drive tray 2.

[0032] The second elastic abutment top 221 is an arc-shaped elastic protrusion that arches relative to the side wall of the first guide groove 21. The shape of the arc-shaped elastic protrusion gives the second elastic abutment top 221 a certain elastic deformation capability, resulting in a more uniform and conforming elastic abutment to the side wall of the first guide protrusion 121, improving positioning stability, reducing local stress concentration, and extending service life. Furthermore, the first elastic abutment top 1211 is also an arc-shaped elastic protrusion that arches relative to the first guide protrusion 121. Similarly, the shape of the arc-shaped elastic protrusion gives the first elastic abutment top 1211 a certain elastic deformation capability, resulting in a more uniform and conforming elastic abutment to the side wall of the first guide protrusion 121, improving positioning stability, reducing local stress concentration, and extending service life. Specifically, on the first guide protrusion 121, first through grooves 1212 extending along the length direction of the arc-shaped elastic protrusion are formed on both sides of the first elastic abutment top 1211.

[0033] An insertion limiting block 122 is provided on the first side plate 12 corresponding to the insertion direction of the hard drive tray 2. When the hard drive tray 2 is inserted into the hard drive tray 2, the insertion limiting block 122 abuts against the hard drive tray 2 in the insertion direction of the hard drive tray 2. The insertion limiting block 122 can limit the insertion depth of the hard drive tray 2, so that the hard drive tray 2 is correctly inserted into the hard drive tray 2, thereby improving the installation accuracy and stability of the hard drive tray 2.

[0034] The hard drive tray 2 has two opposing first protrusions 22 and second protrusions 23 extending along the insertion direction of the hard drive tray 2 on its side. The first protrusions 22 and second protrusions 23 define a first guide groove 21. The first protrusions 22 and second protrusions 23 on the side of the hard drive tray 2 define the first guide groove 21, ensuring that the tray moves along the correct direction and trajectory when inserted into the hard drive tray 2. This makes the insertion process smooth, preventing lateral wobbling or tilting, thus improving the fitting accuracy between the hard drive trays 2 and enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire device. An insertion limiting block 122 abuts against the tail end of the first protrusion 22 and / or the second protrusion 23. The insertion limiting block 122 abuts against the tail end of the first protrusion 22 and / or the second protrusion 23, effectively limiting the insertion depth of the hard drive tray 2. To prevent damage to internal components (such as excessive pressure on the hard drive or damage to connection lines) caused by inserting the hard drive tray 2 too deeply, or to poor connection caused by improper insertion, ensure that the hard drive tray 2 is in the correct position every time it is inserted, and guarantee the normal operation of the network attached storage device.

[0035] The second elastic abutment 221 is provided with a first protruding edge 22 on the side wall of the first guide groove 21. The tail end of the second protruding edge 23 is shorter than the tail end of the first protruding edge 22. The insertion limiting block 122 abuts against the tail end of the second protruding edge 23. The second elastic abutment 221 is provided on the side wall of the first protruding edge 22. After the hard disk tray 2 is inserted, it can apply a stable elastic force perpendicular to the insertion direction to the hard disk tray 2 to prevent the hard disk tray 2 from shaking, thereby improving the stability of the hard disk tray 2 within the hard disk tray 2. The tail end of the second protruding edge 23 is shorter than the tail end of the first protruding edge 22. The insertion limiting block 122 abuts against the tail end of the second protruding edge 23. This can limit the insertion depth of the hard disk tray 2 while providing space for the abutment of the insertion limiting block 122. The tail end of the second protruding edge 23 is the end away from the opening of the hard disk tray 2.

[0036] On the first side plate 12, at the entrance of the hard drive tray 2, limiting protrusions 123 are provided on both sides of the hard drive tray 2. The limiting protrusions 123 are provided on the first side plate 12 at the entrance of the hard drive tray 2, corresponding to both sides of the hard drive tray 2. When the hard drive tray 2 is inserted, the limiting protrusions 123 can limit the two sides of the hard drive tray 2, preventing the hard drive tray 2 from swinging or tilting to the sides during the insertion process, ensuring that the hard drive tray 2 is inserted in the correct direction and maintains a stable posture.

[0037] Furthermore, a first elastic abutment 1211 is provided at both the first and last ends of the first guide protrusion 121. The first end of the first guide protrusion 121 is close to the opening of the hard drive tray 2, and the last end of the first guide protrusion 121 is away from the opening of the hard drive tray 2. The first elastic abutment 1211 at the first end of the first guide protrusion 121 provides a guiding elastic force when the hard drive tray 2 is first inserted. This elastic force helps the hard drive tray 2 to be initially aligned, ensuring that the tray is inserted smoothly in the correct direction and reducing shaking and deviation during insertion. A first elastic abutment 1211 is also provided at the last end. When the hard drive tray 2 is fully inserted, the combined positioning elastic force provided by the two first elastic abutments 1211 prevents the hard drive tray 2 from shaking or moving forward due to vibration or other reasons during use, thereby ensuring the stable fixation of the hard drive tray 2 within the hard drive tray 2. The first elastic abutment 1211 at the beginning and end of the first guide protrusion 121 works together to enable the hard disk tray 2 to be positioned from both the front and rear positions after insertion.
