Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, a PPC-specific hard drive bracket includes a bracket base plate 100, which can support a 2.5-inch hard drive. Bracket side plates 101 are provided on both sides of the bracket base plate 100. The bracket side plates 101 can limit the hard drive on both sides, thereby preventing the hard drive from falling off the bracket base plate 100. To further lock the position of the hard drive, positioning holes are provided on the bracket side plates 101, which can lock the hard drive onto the bracket, further ensuring the stability of the hard drive's position and preventing it from falling off. Preferably, protruding plates 102 are fixed at both ends of the bracket base plate 100. The protruding plates 102 can extend the length of the bracket base plate 100 to accommodate the hard drive's connector.
[0022] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a limiting plate 103 is installed on one of the protruding plates 102, which can limit the position of the hard disk from the end. An L-shaped mounting plate 104 is installed on the other protruding plate 102, which is used to fix the position of the bracket and thus lock the bracket in the desired position.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 Shock-absorbing foam 200 is provided on the upper surface of the bracket base plate 100, the upper surface of the convex plate 102, the inner surface of the limiting plate 103 and the inner surface of the L-shaped mounting plate 104, so that when the hard drive is working, the shock-absorbing foam can reduce the damage caused by vibration to the 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] like Figure 1 In this embodiment, the positioning hole is a threaded through hole 300, and the hard drive position can be locked by directly inserting a bolt into the threaded through hole 300 and the interior of the hard drive.
[0026] Example 2:
[0027] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the support side plate 101 is hinged above the support base plate 100. The positioning hole of this device is an adjustment mechanism 400. The adjustment mechanism 400 includes a long groove 401 formed on the support side plate 101, a sliding groove 402 formed on both sides of the inner wall of the long groove 401, an internally threaded cylinder 404 located inside the long groove 401, a rotating shaft 405 rotatably mounted on both sides of the internally threaded cylinder 404, and a slider 403 fixed on the side of the rotating shaft 405 away from the internally threaded cylinder 404. The slider 403 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 402. When the distance between the two bracket side plates 101 is different from the width of the hard drive during manufacturing, the angle between the bracket side plate 101 and the bracket base plate 100 is adjusted, and then the internal threaded cylinder 404 is slid, so that the slider 403 slides inside the slide groove 402, so that the position of the internal threaded cylinder 404 corresponds to the position of the mounting hole on the hard drive. Then, by rotating the internal threaded cylinder 404 along the rotating shaft 405, the internal threaded cylinder 404 is made parallel to the position of the mounting hole on the hard drive, and then the thread can be inserted for positioning.
[0028] The working principle and usage process of this invention: When using this device, the bracket base plate 100 can support a 2.5-inch hard drive. The bracket side plates 101 can limit the hard drive on both sides, thereby preventing the hard drive from falling off the bracket base plate 100. To further lock the position of the hard drive, positioning holes are provided on the bracket side plates 101. The hard drive can be locked on the bracket through the positioning holes, further ensuring the stability of the hard drive position and preventing it from falling off. The protruding plate 102 can extend the length of the bracket base plate 100 to accommodate the hard drive interface. The upper surface of the bracket base plate 100, the upper surface of the convex plate 102, the inner surface of the limiting plate 103, and the inner surface of the L-shaped mounting plate 104 are all provided with shock-absorbing foam 200. In order to reduce the damage caused by vibration to the 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive when the hard drive is working, the shock-absorbing foam is used to reduce the damage caused by vibration to the 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive.
[0029] When the positioning hole is a threaded through hole 300, the hard drive position can be locked by directly inserting a bolt into the threaded through hole 300 and the inside of the hard drive;
[0030] When the positioning hole is the adjustment mechanism 400, if the distance between the two bracket side plates 101 is different from the width of the hard drive due to errors in the production process, the angle between the bracket side plate 101 and the bracket base plate 100 is adjusted, and then the internal threaded cylinder 404 is slid, so that the slider 403 slides inside the slide groove 402 to align the position of the internal threaded cylinder 404 with the mounting hole position on the hard drive. Then, by rotating the internal threaded cylinder 404 along the rotating shaft 405, the internal threaded cylinder 404 is made parallel to the mounting hole position on the hard drive, and then the thread can be inserted for positioning.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
