[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.

[0034] Example 1
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 3The storage hard disk 100 of this application includes a housing 1, multiple hard disk bodies 2, and a heat dissipation assembly 3. The housing 1 is provided with multiple spaced mounting slots 11. Each hard disk body 2 is mounted and electrically connected to the mounting slot 11, so that the storage hard disk 100 can accommodate multiple hard disk bodies 2, thereby expanding the storage capacity of the storage hard disk 100. The hard disk body 2 is provided with a first heat-conducting structure 21. The mounting slot 11 is provided with a second heat-conducting structure 12 corresponding to the first heat-conducting structure 21, and the second structure is slidably connected to the first heat-conducting structure 21. The heat dissipation assembly 3 is used to dissipate heat from the second heat-conducting structure 12. The heat dissipation assembly 3 includes heat dissipation fins 31 and a heat dissipation fan 32. The heat dissipation fins 31 and the heat dissipation fan 32 are disposed on the housing 1. Since the hard disk body 2 generates a large amount of heat during operation, a first heat-conducting structure 21 is provided on the hard disk body 2, and the first heat-conducting structure 21 is slidably connected to the second heat-conducting structure 12. This allows the heat from the hard disk body 2 to be transferred to the second heat-conducting structure 12 in a timely manner. The heat dissipation fins 31 and the cooling fan 32 on the housing 1 then dissipate heat from the second heat-conducting structure 12, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency of the hard disk body 2 and thus improving the heat dissipation performance and operational stability of the storage hard disk 100. Furthermore, the first heat-conducting structure 21 and the second heat-conducting structure 12, while conducting heat to the hard disk body 2, also enable a slidable connection between the hard disk body 2 and the mounting slot 11, facilitating the installation and removal of the hard disk body 2 and improving the practicality of the storage hard disk 100. In other words, the storage hard disk 100 of this application improves the heat dissipation performance and practicality of the hard disk body 2 by adjusting and improving the structure of the hard disk body 2 and the structure of the housing 1.
[0036] It is worth noting that the heat dissipation fins 31 can be made of aluminum, taking advantage of aluminum's good thermal conductivity and low density. This allows the heat dissipation fins 31 to have good heat dissipation performance while being lightweight, thereby avoiding excessive weight of the storage hard drive 100 and improving its practicality.
[0037] Specifically, in order to increase the heat conduction area of the first heat-conducting structure 21 and the second heat-conducting structure 12, the hard disk body 2 has a heat conduction area along its thickness direction (e.g., Figure 1The first surface 22 and the second surface 23 (in the Y direction) are opposite each other. Since the hard disk body 2 is mostly a cuboid structure, the area of the two surfaces of the first surface 22 and the second surface 23 is larger than the area of the other surfaces. At this time, the first surface 22 and the second surface 23 have more space to set the first heat conduction structure 21, which is more conducive to setting more or larger areas of the first heat conduction structure 21. The first heat conduction structure 21 is a heat conduction strip set on the first surface 22 and / or the second surface 23. The heat conduction strip has a groove 211 that is recessed from the first surface 22 or the second surface 23 into the interior of the hard disk body 2, so that the heat conduction strip can conduct heat inside the hard disk body 2 in a timely manner and improve the heat dissipation performance of the hard disk body 2. At the same time, the second heat conduction structure 12 is a heat conduction block set corresponding to the heat conduction strip. The heat conduction block is slidably connected to the groove 211. At this time, there are three contact surfaces between the heat conduction block and the heat conduction strip. The heat conduction block can quickly transfer the heat of the hard disk body 2 to the shell 1, so as to further improve the heat conduction efficiency between the heat conduction strip and the heat conduction block.
[0038] In one example, the first surface 22 of the hard drive body 2 is provided with two heat-conducting strips, and the mounting slot 11 is provided with two heat-conducting blocks corresponding to the two heat-conducting strips. The two heat-conducting blocks are slidably connected to the two heat-conducting strips. At the same time as the hard drive body 2 and the mounting slot 11 are connected, the heat inside the hard drive body 2 can be transferred to the heat-conducting blocks on the mounting slot 11 via the heat-conducting strips of the first surface 22, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the hard drive body 2. It is understood that there can be two, three, four, etc., heat-conducting strips on the first surface 22, and the number of heat-conducting blocks corresponds to the number of heat-conducting strips. In this embodiment, the number of heat-conducting strips is not specifically limited.
[0039] In another example, the second surface 23 of the hard drive body 2 is provided with two heat-conducting strips, and the mounting slot 11 is provided with two heat-conducting blocks corresponding to the two heat-conducting strips. The two heat-conducting blocks are slidably connected to the two heat-conducting strips. In this case, while realizing the mating connection between the hard drive body 2 and the mounting slot 11, the heat inside the hard drive body 2 can be transferred to the heat-conducting blocks on the mounting slot 11 through the heat-conducting strips of the second surface 23, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the hard drive body 2. It can be understood that there can be two, three, four, etc., heat-conducting strips provided on the second surface 23, and the number of heat-conducting blocks also corresponds to the number of heat-conducting strips. In this embodiment, there is no specific limitation on the number of heat-conducting strips.
[0040] In another example, two heat-conducting strips can be respectively provided on the first surface 22 and the second surface 23 of the hard disk body 2. A heat-conducting block is provided on each heat-conducting strip in the mounting slot 11, and each heat-conducting block is slidably connected to the respective heat-conducting strip on the first surface 22 and the second surface 23. In this case, while achieving the mating connection between the hard disk body 2 and the mounting slot 11, the heat inside the hard disk body 2 can be transferred to the heat-conducting blocks on the mounting slot 11 via the heat-conducting strips on the first surface 22 and the second surface 23, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the hard disk body 2. It is understood that the number of heat-conducting strips provided on the first surface 22 and the second surface 23 can be the same, such as two on each side, or different, such as three and four respectively. The number of heat-conducting blocks also corresponds to the number of heat-conducting strips. In this embodiment, the number of heat-conducting strips is not specifically limited.
[0041] For example, the heat-conducting strip and heat-conducting block are made of copper, taking advantage of copper's good thermal conductivity to transfer the heat from the hard drive body 2 to the heat dissipation assembly 3, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the storage hard drive 100. Alternatively, the heat-conducting strip and heat-conducting block can also be made of aluminum or other materials with good thermal conductivity; this embodiment does not impose a specific limitation.
[0042] It is worth noting that in other examples, the first heat-conducting structure 21 can also be a heat-conducting block, and the second heat-conducting structure 12 can be a heat-conducting strip recessed from the inner wall of the mounting groove 11 in a direction away from the hard disk body 2, and the heat-conducting block and the heat-conducting strip are slidably connected. The first heat-conducting structure 21 and the second heat-conducting structure 12 in this embodiment are only examples, and the specific structure of the first heat-conducting structure 21 and the second heat-conducting structure 12 is not limited.
[0043] In some embodiments, to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation assembly 3 for the second heat-conducting structure 12, a receiving cavity 13 is provided on the outer periphery of each mounting slot 11. A heat-conducting block is disposed in the mounting slot 11 and the receiving cavity 13, so that the heat-conducting block can quickly transfer the heat of the heat-conducting strip from the mounting slot 11 to the receiving cavity 13. At the same time, a third heat-conducting structure 4 is also provided in the receiving cavity 13. One end of the third heat-conducting structure 4 is connected to the heat-conducting block, and the other end of the third heat-conducting structure 4 is connected to the heat dissipation fins 31. That is, the heat inside the hard disk body 2 can be transferred to the heat dissipation fins 31 through the heat-conducting strip, the heat-conducting block, and the third heat-conducting structure 4, thereby improving the heat transfer rate and further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the storage hard disk 100.
[0044] Furthermore, to increase the connection area between the third heat-conducting structure 4 and the heat-conducting block, a slot 121 is provided in the portion of the heat-conducting block located in the receiving cavity 13, and the third heat-conducting structure 4 is snapped into the slot 121 to increase the connection area between the third heat-conducting structure 4 and the heat-conducting block, thereby further improving the rate at which heat is transferred from the heat-conducting block to the third heat-conducting structure 4. It is understood that the size of the slot 121 can be adjusted according to the size of the third heat-conducting structure 4, and is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0045] Please see Figures 3 to 6 For example, the third heat-conducting structure 4 is a heat pipe radiator connected end to end. The heat-absorbing section 41 of the heat pipe radiator is connected to the heat-conducting block, and the heat-dissipating section 42 of the heat pipe radiator is connected to the heat dissipation fins 31. This utilizes the heat pipe radiator to transfer heat and also reduces the probability of heat being dissipated from the heat pipe radiator to other spaces in the housing 13, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the storage hard drive 100. Simultaneously, in order for the heat dissipation fins 31 to dissipate heat from the heat pipe radiator as quickly as possible, the heat dissipation section 42 can be inserted into the heat dissipation fins 31, so that the heat from the heat dissipation section 42 is directly transferred to each fin in the heat dissipation fins 31, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat pipe radiator by the heat dissipation fins 31.
[0046] Specifically, the heat pipe radiator includes a copper casing 40 and condensate disposed inside the casing 40. The condensate inside the casing 40 dissipates heat from the casing 40, ensuring that when the heat pipe radiator transfers heat to the cooling fins 31, the heat in the heat dissipation section 42 is lower than the heat in the heat conduction section. This also reduces the amount of heat dissipated from the casing 40 into the receiving cavity 13, allowing heat to be directly transferred to the cooling fins 31, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. The specific working process of the heat pipe radiator is as follows: Figure 6As shown, between the heat absorption section 41 and the heat dissipation section 42 of the heat pipe radiator, the heat pipe radiator can be divided into an evaporation section 43, an insulation section 44, and a condensation section 45. After the heat from the heat-conducting block is transferred to the heat absorption section 41 of the heat pipe radiator, the heat will be transferred to the evaporation section 43. The condensate in the evaporation section 43 will evaporate under the influence of heat. At this time, the heat on the shell 40 will decrease. That is, part of the heat from the heat-conducting block will continue to be transferred through the shell 40, and the other part will be stored in the vaporized condensate and conducted to the condensation section 45 through the insulation section 44. After the condensate reaches the condensation section 45, it will liquefy again into a liquid state. The heat in the gaseous condensate will be released and, together with the heat on the shell 40, will finally be conducted to the heat dissipation section 42. Then, the heat dissipation section 42 will transfer the heat to the heat dissipation fins 31. Finally, the heat dissipation fins 31 will absorb and dissipate the heat from the heat dissipation section 42. After the condensate in the condensation section 45 condenses into water, it will flow back to the evaporation section 43 through the reflux structure 46 inside the heat dissipation section 42, and so on. The heat pipe radiator not only conducts heat but also stores heat inside the casing 40, reducing the possibility of heat dissipation from the heat pipe radiator to other locations in the housing 13. This achieves direct heat conduction and effectively improves the heat dissipation and usability of the storage hard drive 100. It is understood that the aforementioned return structure 46 can be a fluid guide located inside the casing 40 or other return structures; no specific limitation is made in this embodiment.
[0047] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments, to further improve the heat dissipation performance of the storage hard disk 100, heat-conducting plates 5 are respectively provided on the two inner wall surfaces of the mounting slot 11 where the second heat-conducting structure 12 is not provided. This allows the heat-conducting plates 5 to adhere to the hard disk body 2 when it is installed in the mounting slot 11, thereby dissipating heat from the other two surfaces of the hard disk body 2. Simultaneously, the heat-conducting plates 5 are also connected to the third heat-conducting structure 4, meaning they can transfer heat from the hard disk body 2 to the third heat-conducting structure 4. This allows heat from multiple surfaces of the hard disk body 2 to be transferred to the heat dissipation assembly 3 via the heat-conducting structure, enabling the hard disk body 2 to dissipate heat through multiple paths and improving heat conduction efficiency.
[0048] For example, the heat-conducting plate 5 is made of copper, so as to take advantage of copper's good thermal conductivity to quickly transfer the heat of the hard disk body 2 to the heat dissipation component 3 through the heat-conducting plate 5 and the third heat-conducting structure 4, thereby improving the heat dissipation performance of the storage hard disk 100. Alternatively, the heat-conducting plate 5 can also be made of aluminum or other materials with good thermal conductivity, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
[0049] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7In one embodiment, since the hard disk body 2 is mostly a cuboid structure, and to facilitate the placement of the first heat-conducting structure 21 and the second heat-conducting structure 12, the receiving cavity 13 is usually located on the upper or lower or left and right sides of the mounting groove 11. Simultaneously, to shorten the heat conduction path and improve heat dissipation efficiency, the heat dissipation fins 31 and heat dissipation plates can be arranged in the housing 1 along a direction perpendicular to the mounting groove 11 (e.g., Figure 1 On both sides of the Y direction (in the middle), that is, along the edge of the mounting groove 11 Figure 1 On both sides of the X direction, at this time the left and right sides of the hard disk body 2 (e.g. Figure 1 The storage hard drive 100 has heat dissipation components 3 on both sides (in the X direction). Its first heat-conducting structure 21, second heat-conducting structure 12, and third heat-conducting structure 4 in the receiving cavity 13 can be arranged left and right. Heat is transferred to the left-side heat dissipation component 3 through the heat conduction path of the left-side heat-conducting structure, while heat is transferred to the right-side heat dissipation component 3 through the heat conduction path of the right-side structure. This allows the storage hard drive 100 to achieve dual-sided heat dissipation, effectively shortening the heat conduction path and improving heat conduction efficiency, thereby increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the storage hard drive 100. Furthermore, placing the heat dissipation components 3 on both sides of the housing 1 along the direction perpendicular to the mounting slots 11 allows each side's heat dissipation component 3 to simultaneously dissipate heat from multiple hard drive bodies 2 within multiple mounting slots 11. This improves the heat dissipation performance of the storage hard drive 100 while simplifying its structural design, achieving miniaturization and improving its practicality.
[0050] Furthermore, the heat dissipation fins 31 are connected to the housing 1. A fixing plate 33 is also provided on the outer periphery of the heat dissipation fins 31 on the side opposite to the mounting groove 11. The cooling fan 32 is detachably mounted on the fixing plate 33, so that when the cooling fan 32 fails, it can be removed from the fixing plate 33 for repair or replacement, avoiding the need to replace both the heat dissipation fins 31 and the cooling fan 32 at the same time. This can effectively save maintenance costs and improve the practicality of the storage hard disk 100.
[0051] Specifically, the detachable connection between the cooling fan 32 and the fixing plate 33 can be achieved by providing corresponding connection holes on the cooling fan 32 and the fixing plate 33, and then connecting them using connectors such as bolts or pins; or the detachable connection between the cooling fan 32 and the fixing plate 33 can also be achieved by using a bayonet or snap-fit method. In this embodiment, the specific connection method of the detachable connection between the cooling fan 32 and the fixing plate 33 is not limited.
[0052] In some embodiments, to facilitate control of the cooling fan 32 so that it can be turned on when needed and off when not needed, the storage hard disk 100 also includes a control switch 6. The control switch 6 is disposed in the housing 1 and electrically connected to the cooling fan 32 to control the cooling fan 32 to turn it on or off. That is, during the use of the storage hard disk 100, the storage hard disk 100 does not necessarily need to work all the time. When the hard disk body 2 is not running, the storage hard disk 100 generates less heat, and the cooling fan 32 can be turned off. At this time, the heat conduction path can conduct heat to the heat dissipation fins 31 for heat dissipation to save energy. When the hard disk body 2 is running and heat dissipation is required, the cooling fan 32 can be turned on to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the storage hard disk 100.
[0053] For example, the control switch 6 can be either a manual switch or an automatic switch. If the control switch 6 is a manual switch, the user can operate it as needed. In this case, the control switch 6 can be set at any position on the housing 1, such as the surface where the mounting slot 11 is located, or the surface where the cooling fan 32 is located. If the control switch 6 is an automatic switch, it can control the opening or closing of the switch 6 according to the temperature of the hard drive body 2, so as to achieve precise cooling of the hard drive body 2.
[0054] It is worth noting that since the storage hard disk 100 has two cooling fans 32, the control switch 6 can control both fans simultaneously, or two control switches 6 can be set to control the cooling fans 32 on both sides respectively. The specific setting method can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and is not limited in this embodiment.
[0055] In one embodiment, to achieve electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and other electrical components within the housing 1, electrodes are provided in the mounting slot 11 to establish an electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and the housing 1. To determine the stability of the electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and the mounting slot 11, a circuit detector 7 is also provided within the storage hard disk 100. This circuit detector 7 detects the electrical connection signal between the hard disk body 2 and the electrodes in the mounting slot 11. The storage hard disk 100 also includes multiple sets of indicator lights 8, which are electrically connected to the circuit detector 7. Each set of indicator lights 8 indicates, according to the detection structure of the circuit detector 7, whether the electrical connection between each hard disk body 2 and the electrodes in the mounting slot 11 is normal. Meanwhile, when the storage hard disk 100 malfunctions, the status of the indicator light 8 can be used to determine whether the malfunction lies in the electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and the casing 1. That is, if the hard disk body 2 is not working properly, but the indicator light 8 indicates that the electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and the electrode of the mounting slot 11 is normal, it can be determined that the problem is not in the location of the electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and the mounting slot 11, and the hard disk body 2 and the casing 1 can be repaired. Alternatively, if the hard disk body 2 is not working properly, and the indicator light 8 indicates that the electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and the electrode of the mounting slot 11 is abnormal, the location of the electrical connection between the hard disk body 2 and the mounting slot 11 can be repaired first. This can effectively improve the repair efficiency of the storage hard disk 100, thereby improving the practicality of the storage hard disk 100.
[0056] For example, each set of indicator lights 8 may include three LEDs, which can emit green, yellow, and red colors respectively. When the electrical connection between the hard drive body 2 and the casing 1 indicated by the set of indicator lights 8 is normal, the green light in the set of indicator lights 8 lights up to indicate that the hard drive body 2 is working normally. When the electrical connection between the hard drive body 2 and the casing 1 indicated by the set of indicator lights 8 is poor, the yellow light in the set of indicator lights 8 lights up, indicating that the electrical connection between the hard drive body 2 and the mounting slot 11 needs to be adjusted so that the hard drive body 2 can work in a stable state. When the electrical connection between the hard drive body 2 and the casing 1 indicated by the set of indicator lights 8 is not in contact, the red light in the set of indicator lights 8 lights up, indicating that the electrical connection between the hard drive body 2 and the mounting slot 11 needs to be inspected to achieve the electrical connection between the hard drive body 2 and the casing 1 and so that the hard drive body 2 can work in a normal state.
[0057] It is worth noting that in other examples, each group of indicator lights 8 can also be a single LED, indicating the state through three states: constantly lit, constantly flashing, or off. Alternatively, one LED can illuminate three colors. Or, each group of indicator lights 8 can have two LEDs, displaying the electrical connection status between the hard disk body 2 and the casing 1 through different combinations of constantly lit LEDs. In this embodiment, the specific setting form and indication method of the indicator lights 8 are not limited.
[0058] In one embodiment, to facilitate the installation and removal of the hard disk body 2, a handle 24 is provided on the hard disk body 2 to remove the hard disk body 2 from the mounting slot 11. At the same time, to prevent slippage during removal, an anti-slip part 241 is provided on the handle 24 to prevent slippage, thereby improving the practicality of the storage hard disk 100.
[0059] For example, the anti-slip part 241 can be a pattern provided on the surface of the handle 24, or a coating on the surface of the handle 24, or an anti-slip layer covering the surface of the handle 24, such as a silicone pad. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the anti-slip part 241 is not limited.
[0060] Example 2
[0061] Please see Figure 8 The computer 200 in this application includes a host 201 and a storage hard disk 100 as described above. The storage hard disk 100 is electrically connected to the host 201 to provide extended storage space for the host 201. The computer 200 with the storage hard disk 100 has a larger storage space and higher storage stability and reliability.
[0062] For example, each host 201 can be connected to one or more storage hard disks 100. When the storage hard disk 100 is electrically connected to the host 201, the host 201 can control the opening or closing of the hard disk body 2 and the cooling fan 32 of the storage hard disk 100. In this embodiment, the specific control method is not limited.
[0063] The heat dissipation process of storage hard drive 100 is as follows:
[0064] When the storage hard drive 100 is installed in the mounting slot 11, the indicator light 8 first checks whether the electrical connection of the hard drive body 2 is stable. After confirming that it is normal, the hard drive body 2 can be operated. At this time, the cooling fan 32 can be turned on by the control switch 6. The heat generated by the hard drive body 2 during operation can be transferred to the second heat-conducting structure 12 (i.e., heat-conducting block) on the mounting slot 11 through the first heat-conducting structure 21 (i.e., heat-conducting strip) on the hard drive body 2, and then to the third heat-conducting structure 4 (i.e., heat pipe radiator) in the receiving cavity 13, and finally to the heat dissipation fins 31. Finally, the heat is dissipated to the outside of the storage hard drive 100 by the blowing of the cooling fan 32. On the other hand, the heat on the hard drive body 2 can be transferred to the third heat-conducting structure 4 (i.e., heat pipe radiator) through the heat-conducting plate 5, and finally to the heat dissipation fins 31 by the blowing of the cooling fan 32. The storage hard drive 100 in this application can achieve heat dissipation through two paths, which can effectively improve heat dissipation efficiency.
[0065] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0066] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
