Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hard disk enclosures, and in particular to a push - type hard disk enclosure. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the Internet and multimedia, people increasingly often encounter large - capacity data exchanges measured in gigabytes. Facing such large - sized data, hard disks are undoubtedly the best carriers. However, ordinary hard disks are installed in a computer case and have an operating system installed, so they are not easy to move. The function of a hard disk enclosure is to physically protect a hard disk and, at the same time, use a connection method that is easy to move to achieve the function of a portable hard disk. However, when actually picking up the hard disk, some are fixed with screws and the screws need to be unscrewed to take out the hard disk, and some are simple sliding - cover designs to take out the hard disk, but this kind of fixation is not firm and is easy to loosen. When moving for work, the hard disk is frequently used. Therefore, it is particularly important to design a hard disk enclosure that is easy to pick up the hard disk and has high stability. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a push - type hard disk enclosure, aiming to solve the technical problems that the hard disk placed in the hard disk enclosure has poor stability and is not easy to pick up.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A push - type hard disk enclosure, characterized in that it includes a housing with openings at opposite ends and divided into a first cavity and a second cavity by a partition plate, a middle frame placed in the first cavity, and a wire - winding shell placed in the second cavity. The wire - winding shell is snap - fixed to the housing. The inner side wall of the first cavity is provided with a first groove, and the middle frame is provided with an elastic mechanism that engages with the first groove. The elastic mechanism includes a pressing plate, a fixing plate, and a sliding plate. Pressing the elastic mechanism can cause the middle frame to slide out of the housing. Specifically, through force conduction, the force applied to the pressing plate is conducted to the sliding plate, so that one end of the sliding plate disengages from the first groove, and the engagement effect fails, and the middle frame can slide out of the housing.

[0006] The beneficial effects are as follows: The hard disk is placed in the middle frame, and the elastic mechanism on the middle frame can stably hold the middle frame in the housing. When the hard disk needs to be replaced or repaired, press the elastic mechanism so that the convex block at one end of the sliding plate in the elastic mechanism disengages from the first groove on the inner wall of the housing. At this time, pushing outwards can slide the middle frame out of the housing. In addition, an arched elastic piece is provided on the outer wall of the middle frame. When the elastic piece is in close contact with the middle frame, friction is generated. When the middle frame slides out of the housing, the presence of the elastic piece will generate a certain resistance, making the user feel better, and preventing the entire middle frame from suddenly loosening and easily sliding out of the housing after the engagement effect disappears.
