Abstract

A hard drive bracket kit, suitable for connection to a first hard drive, includes: a hard drive mounting bracket, a fixing component, a button component, and a rotary handle component. The hard drive mounting bracket is used to connect to the first hard drive. The fixing component is connected to the hard drive mounting bracket. The button component is rotatably mounted on the fixing component and located on a first side of the fixing component. The rotary handle component is rotatably mounted on the fixing component and located on a second side of the fixing component opposite to the first side. When the button component is in the locked position, it presses against the rotary handle component, placing the rotary handle component in a locked position. When the user presses the button component, it releases the rotary handle component, placing it in an open position.

Claims

1. A hard drive tray kit adapted for connection to a first hard drive having a first length, the hard drive tray kit comprising: a hard drive mounting bracket for connection to the first hard drive; a fixing component for connection to the hard drive mounting bracket; a button assembly rotatably disposed on the fixing component and located on a first side of the fixing component; a rotary handle assembly rotatably disposed on the fixing component and located on a second side of the fixing component, the second side being opposite to the first side; and an adapter bracket having a first side and a second side, the first side being connected to the hard drive mounting bracket, and the second side being for connection to a second hard drive having a second length, the second length being less than the first length, thereby allowing the hard drive tray kit to selectively connect to either the first hard drive or the second hard drive; wherein... When the button assembly is in a locked position, it presses against the rotary handle assembly, causing the rotary handle assembly to be in a locked position. When a user presses the button assembly, the button assembly releases the rotary handle assembly, causing the rotary handle assembly to be in a released position.

2. The hard drive bracket kit as described in claim 1, wherein, The second side has two transition protrusions to abut against one side of the second hard disk.

3. The hard drive bracket kit as described in claim 1, wherein, The hard drive mounting bracket is C-shaped and includes two long arms and a bottom. The two long arms are connected to the bottom, and the bottom is connected to the mounting assembly.

4. The hard drive bracket kit as described in claim 3, wherein, The fixing component further includes two fixing protrusions. When the fixing component is connected to the hard disk mounting bracket, the two fixing protrusions protrude from the bottom and are used to press against one side of the first hard disk.

5. The hard drive bracket kit as described in claim 1, wherein, The fixing component includes: a fixing base, in which the button assembly and the rotary handle assembly are rotatably disposed; and an elastic body that covers the fixing base and is connected to the hard drive mounting bracket.

6. The hard drive tray kit as described in claim 1, wherein, The button assembly includes: a button for the user to press, wherein when the button assembly is in the locked position, the button presses against the rotary handle assembly; and a button spring element connected between the button and the first side of the fixed assembly to provide the spring force required when the button is pressed.

7. The hard drive bracket kit as described in claim 1, wherein, The rotary handle assembly includes: a rotary handle, wherein when the rotary handle assembly is in the locked position, the button assembly presses against the rotary handle; and a handle elastic element connected between the rotary handle and the second side of the fixing assembly to provide the elastic force required for the rotary handle to rotate when it is released.

8. The hard drive bracket kit as described in claim 1, wherein, The rotary handle assembly includes a slot that engages with a hard drive frame wall when the rotary handle assembly is in the locked position, and does not engage with the hard drive frame wall when the rotary handle assembly is in the released position.

9. The hard drive tray kit as described in claim 1 further includes a light guide post disposed within the fixing assembly, and the first hard drive also has at least one indicator light, wherein, One end of the light guide is close to the indicator light on the first hard drive, so as to conduct the light emitted by the indicator light to the outside of the fixed component.
