[0049] By installing the storage device body 200 with the locking device and the mounting block 300 provided in the present invention, the storage device body 200 can be effectively fixed. And through the cooperation of the locking device and the mounting block 300, the locking device and the mounting block 300 can be quickly fixed, or the storage device body 200 can be quickly removed from the housing 100, which facilitates the installation and removal of the storage device body 200, improves the installation efficiency of the storage device body 200, and saves the installation time of the storage device body 200.

[0050] The hot-swap component in the present invention is used to control the power on and off of the storage device body 200, so that the storage device body 200 can be hot-swapped, which can increase the service life of the storage device body 200 and avoid the safety hazard of power plugging and unplugging of functional modules during the plugging and unplugging process of the storage device body 200, thereby effectively improving the overall device usage experience.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] This embodiment is a further refinement of the first embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, a protrusion 114 is provided at the end of the rotating handle 600 , and the protrusion 114 is used to push the fixing assembly to move on the sliding guide rail 700 .

[0053] The protrusion 114 and the rotating handle 600 are an integrated structure; a rotating hole is provided on the protrusion 114, and the rotating handle 600 is rotatably connected to the sliding guide rail 700 through the rotating hole.

[0054] Furthermore, the rotating hole is arranged near the left edge of the protrusion 114 , so that the protrusion 114 becomes an eccentric structure, so that the protrusion 114 can better push the first sliding block 115 to move when rotating.

[0055] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the fixing assembly includes a first sliding block 115, a second sliding block 116 and a third sliding block 117; wherein the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 are respectively arranged at two ends of the sliding guide rail 700, and the third sliding block 117 is arranged at a position between the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116; the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 slide and squeeze the third sliding block 117, lift the third sliding block 117 and abut against the inner wall of the slide groove 400; one end of the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 are both arranged to tilt downward, and the inclined ends of the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 are arranged opposite to each other; the two ends of the third sliding block 117 are arranged to tilt upward, respectively cooperating with the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 are U-shaped structures, and the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 are sleeved on the sliding guide rail 700. By setting the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 as U-shaped structures, grooves are provided at the bottom of the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116, so that when the first sliding block 115 and the second sliding block 116 are sleeved on the sliding guide rail 700, it will not affect the bottom of the sliding guide rail 700, thereby not affecting the connection between the sliding guide rail 700 and the mounting platform 500.

[0057] The middle part of the third sliding block 117 is a hollow structure. The third sliding block 117 is set as a hollow structure, so that the middle part of the third sliding block 117 has a movable space, thereby meeting the need for the third sliding block 117 to slide upward. In addition, a limit block is set at the bottom of the third sliding block 117, and the third sliding block 117 cooperates with the sliding guide rail 700 through the limit block, so that the third sliding block 117 can only move up and down, preventing the third sliding block 117 from falling off the sliding guide rail 700.

[0058] like Figure 8 As shown, the locking device also includes an elastic component, which is arranged at one end of the sliding guide rail 700 away from the rotating handle 600; the elastic component includes a stopper 118, a bolt 119 and a spring 120; wherein, one end of the bolt 119 passes through the spring 120 and the stopper 118, and is fixedly connected to the sliding guide rail 700, the spring 120 is sleeved on the outside of the bolt 119, and the two ends of the spring 120 are respectively abutted against the end of the bolt 119 and the stopper 118, the stopper 118 is slidably arranged on the bolt 119, and the stopper 118 is also abutted against the fixed component.

[0059] The stop block 118 abuts against the second sliding block 116. When the second sliding block 116 is squeezed by the first sliding block 115, the second sliding block 116 can push the stop block 118 to move, thereby compressing the spring 120, thereby pre-tightening the spring 120. When the storage device body 200 is pulled out, the fixing assembly is popped out by the pre-tightened spring 120, pushing the locking device to move outward, thereby releasing the installation of the storage device body 200.

[0060] Furthermore, the reliability of merely fixing the locking device and the mounting block 300 by friction is not high enough. Therefore, a fixing groove is further provided above the slide groove 400, and when the third sliding block 117 is lifted, the upper part of the third sliding block 117 is embedded in the fixing groove, thereby more stably connecting the locking device and the mounting block 300.

[0061] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a connecting column 121 is provided at the end of the rotating door 800, and the connecting column 121 is fixedly connected to the rotating door 800. A clamping groove 122 is provided at the end of the connecting column 121, and the clamping groove 122 is provided in the middle of the connecting column 121. A through hole is also provided at the end of the connecting column 121, and the through hole penetrates the connecting column 121. A roller 123 is provided in the middle of the clamping groove 122, and the roller 123 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 121 through the through hole.

[0062] By rotatably setting a roller 123 at the end of the connecting column 121, the sliding baffle 112 is pushed to move by the roller 123. Since the roller 123 is rotatably set, when the roller 123 contacts the sliding baffle 112, there is sliding friction between the roller 123 and the sliding baffle 112, thereby reducing the rigid contact between the roller 123 and the sliding baffle 112, making the movement of the sliding baffle 112 smoother and improving the stability of the device.

[0063] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a groove 124 is provided in the middle of the photoelectric switch 110, the groove 124 runs through the photoelectric switch 110, and the light channel is provided inside the groove 124, and the groove 124 cooperates with the sliding baffle 112; the sliding baffle 112 includes a first baffle 125 and a second baffle 126; wherein the first baffle 125 is connected to the second baffle 126, and the first baffle 125 is vertically arranged with the second baffle 126, the first baffle 125 is used to cooperate with the groove 124, and the second baffle 126 is used to limit the first baffle 125.

[0064] The first baffle 125 is embedded in the groove 124 and blocks the light channel in the groove 124, so that the internal circuit of the photoelectric switch 110 is disconnected and the storage device body 200 is powered by the circuit board, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the storage device body 200.

[0065] The second baffle 126 is provided to limit the first baffle 125, so as to prevent the second baffle 126 from being displaced too much and causing light leakage, thereby preventing the internal circuit of the photoelectric switch 110 from being disconnected. The second baffle 126 has the function of limiting the first baffle 125, and also improves the reliability of the operation of the photoelectric switch 110.

[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, a return spring 127 is also provided on the guide shaft 113 . The return spring 127 is sleeved on the outside of the guide shaft 113 . One end of the return spring 127 abuts against the side wall of the pressure plate 900 , and the other end of the return spring 127 abuts against the sliding baffle 112 .

[0067] The sliding baffle 112 is arranged on the guide shaft 113, and the return spring 127 is arranged on the outside of the guide shaft 113. When the sliding baffle 112 moves on the guide shaft 113, the return spring 127 is compressed; when the contact with the sliding baffle 112 is released, the sliding baffle 112 is pushed back to one side of the pressure plate 900 under the action of the return spring 127, and the contact blocks the photoelectric switch 110.

[0068] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0071] Then, by rotating the rotating door 800, the inner wall of the rotating door 800 abuts against the rotating handle 600, so that the rotating door 800 limits the rotation shaft handle, thereby fixing the locking device; when the rotating door 800 rotates, the connecting column 121 is driven to move, and the roller 123 provided at the end of the connecting column 121 pushes the sliding baffle 112 to move on the guide shaft 113, and the sliding baffle 112 compresses the reset spring 127;

[0075] Continue to rotate the rotating door 800 to release the limit of the rotating handle 600 by the rotating door 800; drive the rotating handle 600 to rotate, so that the protrusion 114 at the end of the rotating handle 600 releases the pressure on the first sliding block 115, thereby releasing the pressure of the first sliding block 115 on the third sliding block 117, so that the third sliding block 117 is lowered, and the connection between the locking device and the mounting block 300 is released; pull the rotating handle 600, drive the rotating handle 600 and the storage device body 200 to move, and detach from the shell.
