Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic equipment technology, and in particular to a hard disk mounting structure and electronic equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In laptops, to achieve compatibility with both 2242 and 2280 solid-state drives (SSDs), a metal bracket with studs is usually added. Since the SSDs being installed are of different specifications, during the actual installation process, the bracket can be removed by loosening the studs with a screwdriver, and then tightened back into place according to the SSD's specifications and length to complete the overall assembly.

[0003] However, using the aforementioned iron brackets requires a screwdriver tool that matches the size of the studs, and the installation process of tightening or loosening the studs is time-consuming, making the overall installation and disassembly process quite complicated. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a hard disk installation structure and electronic device to solve the problem of inconvenient installation of existing solid-state drives mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a hard disk mounting structure, comprising:

[0006] The bracket body has a mounting slot inside. At least two sets of positioning parts are spaced apart along a first direction at the bottom of the mounting slot. One side of the mounting slot has an opening facing the motherboard interface. The opening is configured to mount a hard drive and allow the hard drive to be inserted into the motherboard interface through the opening.

[0007] A sliding member is slidably disposed in the mounting groove. The sliding member has a blocking portion protruding along the second direction and is configured to engage with any set of positioning portions, so that the blocking portion after engagement constitutes a constraint limit on the hard disk in the first direction and the second direction; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0009] A limiting member is slidably connected to the bracket body. The limiting member has a limiting protrusion protruding along a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] A heat sink is disposed on the side of the hard drive away from the bottom of the mounting slot, and the edge of the heat sink protrudes in the opposite direction of the third direction and has a mating part.

[0011] Wherein, the orthographic projection of the limiting protrusion on the mounting groove overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the mating part on the mounting groove, the limiting protrusion is configured to constrain the heat sink to the mounting groove, and under the action of external force, it can slide relative to the mating part to release the limiting constraint on the heat sink.

[0012] Furthermore, the side wall of the mounting groove is provided with a mounting sub-groove, and an elastic element is sleeved on the limiting member, and the limiting member is elastically connected to the mounting sub-groove through the elastic element.

[0013] Furthermore, the blocking part includes a first stop and a second stop, the first stop is configured to abut against the hard disk, the second stop is configured to constrain and limit the heat sink in a second direction, and the sliding member is also provided with a support column for positioning the hard disk.

[0014] Furthermore, the sliding member has a positioning opening, and the positioning part includes a connecting arm that is elastically connected to the mounting groove and a locking platform constructed at the free end of the connecting arm. The locking platform engages with the positioning opening of the sliding member to fix the sliding member in the mounting groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the sidewall of the mounting groove is provided with a first limiting portion protruding in a third direction, the first limiting portion being used to prevent the sliding member from disengaging from the mounting groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the first limiting part is inclined at the abutting end face near the sliding member along the direction away from the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the side wall of the mounting groove is provided with a second limiting part protruding in a third direction. The second limiting part is located on the side of the first limiting part near the bottom of the groove. The side end of the sliding member is provided with a snap-fit ​​part. When the sliding member is snap-fitted with the positioning part, the snap-fit ​​part is snap-fitted with the second limiting part.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a weight-reducing opening extending in a first direction, and the sliding member is constructed with a boss adapted to the weight-reducing opening, the boss slidingly engaging with the weight-reducing opening.

[0019] Based on the same inventive concept, this disclosure also provides an electronic device, including a hard disk mounting structure as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, the hard drive mounting structure provided in this application, by setting a sliding member in the mounting slot, allows the sliding member to engage with any set of positioning parts. When the sliding member engages with positioning parts at different positions, the blocking part of the sliding member can constrain and limit the hard drive of different specifications. During the entire process of hard drive disassembly and assembly, it is only necessary to manually move the sliding member in the mounting slot without the need for other external force or auxiliary tools. The disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient, and it can be adapted to fix hard drives of different specifications and lengths, thus improving the adaptability of the hard drive fixing structure.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in the embodiments of this application do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Terms such as "comprising" or "including" mean that the element or object preceding the word encompasses the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Terms such as "connected" or "linked" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but can include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are only used to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0038] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one or more embodiments of this application provide a hard disk mounting structure, which specifically includes:

[0040] The bracket body 1 has a mounting groove inside. At least two sets of positioning parts 11 are provided at intervals along the bottom of the mounting groove in a first direction. One side of the mounting groove has an opening to avoid the motherboard interface 19. The opening is configured to install a hard drive and allow the hard drive to be inserted into the motherboard interface 19 through the opening.

[0041] The sliding member 2 is slidably disposed in the mounting groove. The sliding member 2 has a blocking part protruding along the second direction and is configured to engage with any set of positioning parts 11, so that the blocking part after engagement constitutes a constraint limit on the hard disk in the first direction and the second direction; wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the hard drive mounting structure described in this application, by setting a sliding member 2 in the mounting slot, allows the sliding member 2 to engage with any set of positioning parts 11. When the sliding member 2 engages with positioning parts at different positions, the blocking part of the sliding member 2 can constrain and limit the hard drive of different specifications. During the entire process of hard drive disassembly and assembly, it is only necessary to manually move the sliding member 2 in the mounting slot without the need for other external force or auxiliary tools. The disassembly and assembly process is simple and convenient, and it can be adapted to fix hard drives of different specifications and lengths, thus improving the adaptability of the hard drive fixing structure.

[0043] In this application, the hard drive described is an M.2 solid-state drive (Next Generation Form Factor, NGFF). M.2 is a commonly used solid-state drive interface and size standard, featuring a smaller form factor and higher speed. M.2 solid-state drives can be divided into different lengths and key types. Common M.2 sizes include 22mm x 42mm, 22mm x 60mm, and 22mm x 80mm, where 22mm represents the width and the following numbers represent the length.

[0044] The aforementioned motherboard interface 19 refers to the M.2 interface using the PCI Express (PCIe) channel, which is commonly referred to as "PCIe / NVMe M.2". The M.2 interface is based on the PCIe bus protocol and supports higher data transfer speeds and lower latency.

[0045] Furthermore, the first direction, second direction, and third direction mentioned in this application are all references. Figure 3 The directions shown are used for explanation, where the first direction is... Figure 3 The first direction is the X-axis, which is the length direction of the support body 1; the second direction is... Figure 3 The Y-axis in the figure refers to the height direction of the support body 1; the third direction is... Figure 3 The Z-direction in the bracket body 1 is the width direction.

[0046] In some embodiments, the sidewall of the mounting groove is provided with a first limiting portion 12 protruding along a third direction. The first limiting portion 12 is used to prevent the slider 2 from disengaging from the mounting groove. Here, the slider 2 extends into the slide rail formed by the first limiting portion 12 and the mounting groove on both sides in the third direction, respectively. The first limiting portion 12 and the bottom of the mounting groove constitute a limiting constraint on the slider 2 in the second direction, and the sidewalls of the mounting groove constitute a limiting constraint on the slider 2 in the third direction. For example, the first limiting portions 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mounting groove to ensure the constraint effect of the slider 2 in the mounting groove. Of course, the first limiting portions 12 can also be configured as multiple portions spaced apart along the first direction, as long as the limiting constraint effect on the slider 2 is ensured.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown, in the above embodiment, the first limiting part 12 is gradually inclined at the abutting end face of the sliding member 2 along the direction away from the bottom of the mounting groove. An inclined opening that gradually expands toward the central area is formed between the first limiting part 12 and the side wall of the mounting groove. This arrangement can facilitate the assembly of the sliding member 2 into the slide between the first limiting part 12 and the mounting groove while ensuring the constraint effect on the sliding member 2.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the sidewall of the mounting groove is provided with a second limiting part 13 protruding in a third direction. The second limiting part 13 is located on the side of the first limiting part 12 near the bottom of the groove. The side end of the sliding member 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 22. When the sliding member 2 is snap-fitted with the positioning part 11, the snap-fit ​​part 22 is snap-fitted with the second limiting part 13.

[0049] Here, for example, the protrusion height of the second limiting part 13 is less than the protrusion height of the first limiting part 12. The snap-fit ​​part 22 constructed on the side end of the slider 2 is a snap-fit ​​groove adapted to the second limiting part 13. When the slider 2 engages with the positioning part 11 during sliding, the second limiting part 13 also engages into the snap-fit ​​groove of the slider 2, thereby further improving the fastening effect between the slider 2 and the mounting groove. Since the shape of the snap-fit ​​groove is "U", the second limiting part 13 will first pass over the protrusion of the snap-fit ​​groove before engaging into the snap-fit ​​groove during sliding. The contact surfaces of the snap-fit ​​groove and the second limiting part 13 are both constructed with rounded corners for smoother engagement and disengagement.

[0050] In addition, in some embodiments, a hollow opening 17 is provided between the two side walls opposite each other along the third direction of the bracket body 1 and the bottom of the mounting groove. The length of the hollow opening 17 is not greater than the length of the side wall, and the width of the hollow opening 17 is less than the protruding length of the first limiting part 12. The hollow opening 17 can further reduce the overall weight of the bracket body 1.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the mounting slot has a weight-reducing opening 16 extending in a first direction. The sliding member 2 is constructed with a boss 26 adapted to the weight-reducing opening 16. The boss 26 slides in conjunction with the weight-reducing opening 16. Thus, the sliding member 2 makes contact with the bottom of the mounting slot to form a main sliding structure, and the boss 26 of the sliding member 2 abuts against both sides of the weight-reducing opening 16 to form an auxiliary sliding structure. The main sliding structure and the auxiliary sliding structure together ensure the assembly stability of the sliding member 2 in the mounting slot. At the same time, the design of the weight-reducing opening 16 can further reduce the overall weight of the hard drive mounting structure, which is conducive to achieving lightweight design.

[0052] In addition, as Figure 5 As shown, the side wall of the bracket body 1 is provided with a recessed clearance portion 14, through which the sliding member 2 enters the mounting groove. Specifically, the first limiting portion 12 on the side wall of the mounting groove is a non-continuous design, and the clearance portion 14 is the recessed area between two adjacent first limiting portions 12 on the same side wall. The length of the clearance portion 14 is greater than the width of the sliding member 2, so that the sliding member 2 can be placed flat in the mounting groove through the clearance portion 14 and constrained into the first limiting portion 12 by sliding relative to the mounting groove.

[0053] In the above description, the clearance part 14 is provided with a pre-installed baffle 18 protruding in a third direction. The protruding length of the pre-installed baffle 18 is less than the protruding length of the first limiting part 12. The distance between the pre-installed baffles 18 on the two opposite side walls is not greater than the width of the slider 2. Therefore, the slider 2 needs to be forced through the clearance part 14 by external force to enter the mounting groove. The design of the pre-installed baffle 18 can prevent the slider 2 from accidentally detaching from the bracket body 1 from the clearance part 14.

[0054] It should be noted that the end face of the pre-installed baffle 18 near the bottom of the mounting groove and the end face away from the bottom of the mounting groove are both rounded to the side, so as to facilitate the smooth entry or exit of the sliding member 2 into the mounting groove. The design principle of the protruding length of the pre-installed baffle 18 is: to restrain the sliding member 2 from the mounting groove without external force, and to squeeze the pre-installed baffle 18 out of the mounting groove under external force.

[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 2 is provided with a positioning opening 21, and the positioning part 11 includes a connecting arm 111 elastically connected to the mounting groove and a locking platform 112 constructed at the free end of the connecting arm 111. The locking platform 112 engages with the positioning opening 21 of the slider 2 to fix the slider 2 in the mounting groove.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with multiple mounting openings. The connecting arm 111 is constructed on one side of the mounting opening. The locking platform 112 on the connecting arm 111 protrudes relative to the bottom of the mounting groove in its natural state. During the sliding process of the sliding member 2, the elastic force of the connecting arm 111 is overcome, causing the connecting arm 111 to deform in the opposite direction in the second direction and retract into the mounting opening. Until it slides to the positioning opening 21 of the sliding member 2, the locking platform 112 of the connecting arm 111 is no longer subjected to the abutment pressure of the sliding member 2 and elastically pops out into the positioning opening 21 of the sliding member 2, thus completing the locking and engagement of the sliding member 2 and the positioning part 11.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the structures of the slider 2 and the positioning part 11 can be interchanged. For example, an elastic connecting arm 111 and a locking platform 112 can also be provided on the slider 2, and a positioning opening 21 can be opened at the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0058] In the above embodiments, each group of positioning parts 11 has at least two, and the two positioning parts 11 are respectively placed on both sides of the weight reduction opening 16. Here, for example, each group of positioning parts 11 has four, and the four positioning parts 11 are placed in pairs on both sides of the weight reduction opening 16. The slider 2 is provided with four positioning holes 21. Here, the positioning parts 11 symmetrically placed on both sides of the weight reduction opening 16 can enhance the stability effect when the slider 2 and the positioning parts 11 are engaged, and avoid the slider 2 from swaying to one side after being fixed, which would affect the hard drive reading performance.

[0059] Furthermore, the embodiments described in this application include two sets of positioning units 11. Figure 1 In the middle, after the positioning part 11 on the side near the motherboard interface 19 is engaged with the sliding part 2, the limiting length between the sliding part 2 and the motherboard interface 19 is 42mm, which can fix and limit the solid-state drive 5 of the 2242 specification. Figure 2 In the bracket body 1, after the positioning part 11 on the side away from the motherboard interface 19 engages with the sliding part 2, the limiting length between the sliding part 2 and the motherboard interface 19 is 80mm, which can fix and limit the 2280 form factor solid-state drive 5. Of course, three sets of positioning parts 11 can also be provided in the bracket body 1, that is, to adapt to solid-state drive 5 devices with a diameter of 42mm, 60mm and 80mm respectively.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the hard drive mounting structure further includes a limiting member 3 and a heat sink 4. The limiting member 3 is slidably connected to the bracket body 1. The limiting member 3 has a limiting protrusion 31 protruding along a third direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The heat sink 4 is disposed on the side of the hard drive away from the bottom of the mounting slot. The edge of the heat sink 4 has a mating part 41 protruding in the opposite direction of the third direction. The orthographic projection of the limiting protrusion 31 on the mounting slot overlaps at least partially with the orthographic projection of the mating part 41 on the mounting slot. The limiting protrusion 31 is configured to constrain the heat sink 4 into the mounting slot and, under the action of an external force, can slide relative to the mating part 41 to release the limiting constraint on the heat sink 4.

[0061] By installing a heat sink 4 on the hard drive, the heat dissipation and heat conduction effect of the hard drive during operation is improved, which helps to ensure the working life and reading speed of the hard drive. The heat sink 4 is detachably mounted on the hard drive by engaging with the limiting member 3. No other auxiliary tools are needed when assembling the hard drive and the heat sink 4. The heat sink 4 can be disassembled and installed by simply sliding the limiting member 3 manually, which helps to improve the assembly and maintenance efficiency of the heat sink 4 and the hard drive.

[0062] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the side wall of the mounting groove is provided with a mounting sub-groove 15, and the limiting member 3 is fitted with an elastic member 32. The limiting member 3 is elastically connected to the mounting sub-groove 15 through the elastic member 32. Here, the end of the heat sink 4 near the motherboard interface 19 directly abuts against the mounting sub-groove 15. The side wall of the mounting sub-groove 15 near the heat sink 4 protrudes relative to the side wall of the mounting groove. A concave step is formed between the mating part 41 and the heat sink 4. The limiting protrusion 31 of the limiting member 3 is located in the concave area 42 of the side wall of the mounting sub-groove 15 and engages with the step to form a snap-fit, thereby constituting a movement limit for the heat sink 4 in the first direction.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, a guide portion 33 is constructed in the mounting sub-slot 15 along the first direction. The limiting member 3 includes a connecting rod 34 extending into the mounting sub-slot 15. The connecting rod 34 and the guide portion 33 engage with each other to limit the movement of the limiting member 3 in the second direction, preventing the limiting member 3 from disengaging from the mounting sub-slot 15. The connecting rod 34 is provided with a protrusion 35 extending along the first direction. An elastic member 32 is sleeved on the protrusion 35 and abuts against the side wall of the mounting sub-slot 15. Thus, during the sliding process relative to the mounting sub-slot 15, the limiting member 3 is reset by the elastic force of the elastic member 32.

[0064] In some embodiments, the mounting sub-slot 15 has two cavities, each containing a guide portion 33. The limiting member 3 has two connecting rods 34 that engage with the guide portions 33. This engagement of the two connecting rods 34 with the guide portions 33 further enhances the assembly stability of the limiting member 3 and the mounting sub-slot 15, preventing uneven force on the side of the limiting member 3 from causing it to warp. Furthermore, the end face of the limiting member 3 is also constructed with multiple evenly spaced protrusions to facilitate displacement of the limiting member 3 by external force.

[0065] It should be noted that, in order to avoid the heat sink 4 directly pressing against the solid-state drive 5 and causing damage to the solid-state drive 5, a support part 36 for supporting the heat sink 4 is provided on the other side of the mounting sub-slot 15 of the mounting slot, and a limiting platform 37 protruding in the third direction is provided on the side wall near the support part 36. The heat sink 4 is supported in the recessed area 42 of the side wall of the support part 36 and the mounting sub-slot 15, and its movement in the second direction is limited by the limiting protrusion 31. The limiting platform 37 and the step together constitute the movement constraint of the heat sink 4 in the third direction.

[0066] For example, when the limiting member 3 slides away from the motherboard interface 19 along the first direction, the elastic member 32 is compressed by force, and the limiting protrusion 31 on the limiting member 3 moves synchronously with the limiting member 3. During this process, the limiting protrusion 31 gradually gets away from the limiting constraint of the mating part 41 of the heat sink 4. When the mating part 41 of the heat sink 4 is completely separated from the limiting protrusion 31, the heat sink 4 can be removed by tilting and pulling it outward from this side. At this time, the limiting member 3 is released, and the limiting member 3 returns to its original position under the elastic force of the elastic member 32.

[0067] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the blocking part includes a first stop 23 and a second stop 24. The first stop 23 is configured to abut against the hard disk, and the second stop 24 is configured to constrain and limit the heat sink 4 in a second direction. The sliding member 2 is also provided with a support column 25 for positioning the hard disk.

[0068] Here, the first stop 23 is provided with a step for mounting the end of the hard drive, and the first stop 23 serves to both support the solid-state drive 5 and restrict the displacement of the solid-state drive 5. The end of the second stop 24 away from the mounting slot forms a claw 241. When the heat sink 4 is mounted on the solid-state drive 5, the claw 241 constitutes a movement constraint on it in the second direction.

[0069] For example, when the slider 2 has four positioning holes 21 corresponding to the positioning part 11, the first stop 23 on the slider 2 is located on the midline of the four positioning holes 21. Thus, the slider 2 is engaged with the positioning part 11 and the first stop 23, resulting in uniform and stable force distribution and ensuring the overall stability of the first stop 23. Of course, this is only an example in this embodiment; the actual number of positioning holes 21 may vary. The first stop 23 of the slider 2 only needs to be located in its central region, with the positioning holes 21 positioned on both sides of the first stop 23.

[0070] It should be noted that the bracket body 1 should also be provided with mounting holes for connecting with the motherboard 6. The shape and position of the mounting holes can be flexibly set according to the length and shape of the bracket body 1. This embodiment will not be specifically described in this regard.

[0071] An exemplary assembly process for the hard disk mounting structure described in this application is as follows:

[0072] After the bracket body 1 is fixedly connected to the motherboard 6, the solid-state drive 5 is tilted and placed into the mounting slot. Its connector is then inserted into the motherboard interface 19 through the corresponding opening. Next, the slider 2 is pushed to slide in the mounting slot until the positioning opening 21 of the slider 2 engages with the positioning part 11 closest to the solid-state drive 5. At this point, the solid-state drive 5 is assembled. Then, the heat sink 4 is placed on the side end face of the solid-state drive 5 away from the bottom of the slot, and the side end of the heat sink 4 near the second stop 24 is engaged with the claw 241 of the second stop 24. The limiting member 3 is pushed so that the limiting protrusion 31 avoids the mating part 41 of the heat sink 4. The mating part 41 of the heat sink 4 is placed in the recessed area 42 of the side wall of the mounting sub-slot 15. The limiting member 3 is released so that the limiting member 3 returns to its original position under the force of the elastic member 32, thus completing the fixing of the heat sink 4.

[0073] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides an electronic device, including the hard disk mounting structure as described in any of the above embodiments. Here, the electronic device can be a device that requires a hard disk in related technologies such as a laptop computer, desktop computer, or server, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0074] It should be noted that the above description describes some embodiments of this application. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims. In some cases, the actions or steps recorded in the claims can be performed in a different order than that shown in the above embodiments and still achieve the desired result. Furthermore, the processes depicted in the drawings do not necessarily require a specific or sequential order to achieve the desired result. In some embodiments, multitasking and parallel processing are also possible or may be advantageous.

[0075] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to imply that the scope of this application (including the claims) is limited to these examples; within the framework of this application, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of the embodiments of this application as described above, which are not provided in the details for the sake of brevity.

[0076] Additionally, to simplify the description and discussion, and to avoid obscuring the embodiments of this application, the well-known power / ground connections to integrated circuit (IC) chips and other components may or may not be shown in the provided drawings. Furthermore, the apparatus may be shown in block diagram form to avoid obscuring the embodiments of this application, and this also takes into account the fact that the details of the implementation of these block diagram apparatuses are highly dependent on the platform on which the embodiments of this application will be implemented (i.e., these details should be fully understood by those skilled in the art). While specific details (e.g., circuits) have been set forth to describe exemplary embodiments of this application, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments of this application can be implemented without these specific details or with variations thereof.
