Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to a data storage device fixing mechanism and a chassis. Background Art

[0002] A data storage device, such as a hard disk or a magnetic disk, is usually provided in the chassis, and the data storage device is used to connect to the connector in the chassis. The data storage device needs to be fixed in the mounting frame by screws first, and then the mounting frame is installed in the chassis. A baffle is provided on the mounting frame, and the baffle is used to cover the opening of the mounting frame to fix the data storage device in the mounting frame. In the related art, the mounting frame is mostly opened by pressing the baffle, that is, the opening of the mounting frame is opened by pressing the baffle. This setting method easily causes the user to accidentally touch the baffle, causing the opening of the mounting frame to open, and the risk of the data storage device detaching from the mounting frame. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a data storage device fixing mechanism and a chassis, which can reduce the situation where the data storage device is separated from the mounting frame due to accidental touch.

[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a data storage fixing mechanism, comprising: a mounting frame, a stopper, a locking member, a first elastic member, and an operating member. The mounting frame has a connected accommodating cavity and a first opening, the accommodating cavity is used to accommodate the data storage, the first opening is for the data storage to enter and exit the accommodating cavity along a first direction, and the mounting frame has a socket. The stopper is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame to open or cover the first opening. The locking member is movably arranged on the stopper, and the locking member has a first inclined surface. One end of the first elastic member is connected to the locking member, and the other end is connected to the stopper; when the stopper covers the first opening, the first elastic member can drive the locking member to insert into the socket to lock the relative position of the stopper and the mounting frame. The operating member is movably arranged on the stopper, and the operating member has a operating portion, and the operating portion has a second inclined surface, and the second inclined surface is parallel to and in contact with the first inclined surface; when the stopper covers the first opening and the operating portion moves away from the mounting frame along the first direction, the second inclined surface drives the locking member to move in the second direction through the first inclined surface, so that the locking member is separated from the socket to allow the stopper to open the first opening, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0005] In the above-mentioned data storage device fixing mechanism, by inserting the locking member into the socket of the mounting frame, the blocking member can be fixed at a position covering the first opening, thereby fixing the data storage device in the storage chamber, so that the data storage device is not easy to be separated from the storage chamber. On the one hand, the first elastic member can drive the locking member to be inserted into the socket, so that when the data storage device fixing mechanism is vibrated or collided, the blocking member is not easy to open the first opening, thereby reducing the risk of the data storage device being separated from the storage chamber; on the other hand, when the operating part moves away from the mounting frame along the first direction, the second inclined surface can cooperate with the first inclined surface to move the locking member to the socket to release the locking member from the mounting frame, so that when the operating part is pressed and moves toward the mounting frame, it can drive the locking member to move toward the socket, so that when the operating part is accidentally touched, it is not easy to drive the locking member to release the locking member from the mounting frame, so that the data storage device is not easy to be separated from the mounting frame.

[0006] In at least one embodiment, the first inclined surface extends along the direction in which the locking member is inserted into the socket and is inclined in a direction away from the mounting frame; when the operating part moves in a direction away from the mounting frame, the second inclined surface slides relative to the first inclined surface and drives the locking member to move in a direction away from the socket by pushing the first inclined surface.

[0007] In the above embodiment, when the operating part moves in the first direction away from the mounting bracket, the second inclined surface slides relative to the first inclined surface, and the operating part pushes the locking member through the second inclined surface, so that the locking member moves as a whole in the second direction, thereby enabling the locking member to be unlocked from the socket. This arrangement converts the movement of the operating part in the first direction into the movement of the locking member in the second direction, so as to control the unlocking of the locking member from the socket of the mounting bracket.

[0008] In at least one embodiment, the locking member also has a first blocking surface, and the operating part also has a second blocking surface, and the first blocking surface is parallel to the second blocking surface; when the locking member is inserted into the socket, the first blocking surface contacts the second blocking surface and limits the operating part from moving toward the mounting frame.

[0009] In the above embodiment, the operating part can move in the first direction toward the mounting frame so that the locking member can be inserted into the socket. After the locking member is inserted into the socket, the second blocking surface is restricted by the first blocking surface so that the operating part is not easy to continue to move toward the mounting frame, so that when the operating part is pressed by an external force, it is not easy to continue to move toward the mounting frame, thereby reducing the impact of an accidental touch on the operating part.

[0010] In at least one embodiment, the operating member also includes two elastic arms, which are arranged on both sides of the operating part along the second direction, one end of each elastic arm is connected to the operating part, and the other end is against the stopper; when the operating part moves in a direction away from the mounting frame, the two elastic arms are deformed to drive the operating part to move in a direction close to the mounting frame.

[0011] In the above embodiment, by moving the operating part in a direction away from the mounting frame, the two elastic arms can be deformed, thereby generating an elastic force that drives the operating part to move in a direction close to the mounting frame. In this way, after the operating part is released, the operating part can move in a direction close to the mounting frame under the driving force of the elastic arms, so that the operating part can be restored to a state close to the mounting frame, thereby facilitating the locking member to remain in a state of being inserted into the socket, making it difficult for the blocking member to open the first opening.

[0012] In at least one embodiment, each elastic arm has a connecting hole, and the locking element is movably disposed in the two connecting holes along the second direction.

[0013] In the above embodiment, by movably arranging the locking member in the connecting hole, on the one hand, the assembly of the locking member and the operating member is achieved, and on the other hand, the cooperation between the connecting hole and the locking member can provide a guiding effect for the locking member, thereby facilitating the movement of the locking member along the second direction.

[0014] In at least one embodiment, the manipulation portion has a mounting groove, the mounting groove has a second opening facing the mounting frame, a first convex portion and a second convex portion are arranged in the mounting groove, a portion of the second inclined surface is arranged on the first convex portion, and another portion is arranged on the second convex portion, a guide channel is formed between the first convex portion and the second convex portion, and the guide channel is connected to the second opening;

[0015] The locking member comprises a guide portion which is movably arranged in the guide channel along the second direction; in the first direction, the guide portion can move relative to the operating portion from the second opening to a direction away from the guide channel.

[0016] In the above embodiment, by movably arranging the guide part in the guide channel, the guide part and the operating part are assembled, and the space occupied by the locking member and the operating part after assembly is reduced. The guide channel is connected to the second opening, so that the guide part can enter and exit the guide channel from the second opening, which is convenient for assembling and disassembling the guide part and the operating part. The second opening can avoid the guide part, so that part of the guide part can escape from the guide channel from the second opening, so that the operating part can move away from the mounting frame, reducing the situation where the operating part cannot move in the first direction.

[0017] In at least one embodiment, the locking member includes a locking portion, which is used to be inserted into the socket, and the locking portion has a third inclined surface, which is located on the side of the locking portion facing the mounting frame, and the third inclined surface extends along the direction in which the locking portion is inserted into the socket and is inclined in a direction away from the mounting frame.

[0018] In the above embodiment, when the blocking member rotates in the direction of covering the first opening, the side where the third inclined surface of the locking portion is located first contacts the mounting frame. After the third inclined surface is squeezed by the mounting frame, under the elastic contraction of the first elastic member, it can guide the locking member to move in the direction of leaving the socket until the locking member moves to a position that can avoid the mounting frame, so that the blocking member can drive the locking portion to rotate to a position aligned with the socket. After the locking portion rotates to a position aligned with the socket, the third inclined surface is not squeezed by the mounting frame, so that the locking portion is inserted into the socket under the elastic recovery action of the first elastic member.

[0019] In at least one embodiment, the baffle includes a first rotating plate and a second rotating plate, one end of the first rotating plate is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, the second rotating plate is arranged on the first rotating plate and forms an installation space with the first rotating plate, and a portion of the locking member and a portion of the operating portion are arranged in the installation space.

[0020] In the above embodiment, the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are arranged to increase the thickness of the blocking member to improve the structural strength of the blocking member, so that the blocking member is not easily damaged when it is hit. In addition, the installation space formed between the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate is convenient for installing the operating member and the locking member.

[0021] In at least one embodiment, the mounting frame includes a frame and a sliding member, the frame having a accommodating cavity and a first opening connected to the accommodating cavity; the sliding member is slidably disposed on the frame along a first direction, and a pushing portion is provided at one end of the sliding member away from the first opening, and the pushing portion is used to push the data storage device to move in a direction away from the accommodating cavity.

[0022] In the above embodiment, when taking out the data storage device, the locking member unlocks the blocking member, the blocking member is rotated to open the first opening of the frame, and the pushing portion pushes the data storage device out of the accommodating cavity through the sliding movement of the sliding member, thereby facilitating the removal of the data storage device. When installing the data storage device, the data storage device is inserted into the accommodating cavity from the first opening, and the blocking member is rotated to a state where it can be locked with the mounting frame, thereby achieving the installation of the data storage device. In the process of disassembling and assembling the data storage device, no tools are required, thereby saving operation time and facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the data storage device.

[0023] An embodiment of the present application further provides a chassis, comprising a chassis and a data storage fixing mechanism in any of the above embodiments, wherein the data storage fixing mechanism is disposed on the chassis.

[0024] In the above-mentioned case, by installing the data storage device in the data storage device fixing mechanism, the data storage device and the data storage device fixing mechanism can be assembled. When the data storage device is installed in the data storage device fixing mechanism, it can be installed without tools, thereby facilitating the assembly of the data storage device and the case. In addition, by moving the operating part in a direction away from the mounting frame, the locking member can be moved in a direction away from the socket, thereby reducing the situation where the first stopper is opened due to accidental touching of the operating part.

[0104] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish different objects, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is more than two, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0105] It should be noted that the thickness, length, width and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of the present application shown in the drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width and other dimensions of the integrated device are only exemplary and should not constitute any limitation to the present application.

[0106] The chassis is usually equipped with a data storage device, such as a hard disk or a magnetic disk, which is used to connect to the connector in the chassis. The data storage device needs to be fixed in the mounting frame by screws first, and then the mounting frame is installed in the chassis. The mounting frame is provided with a baffle, which is used to cover the opening of the mounting frame to fix the data storage device in the mounting frame. In the related art, the mounting frame is mostly press-open, that is, the opening of the mounting frame is opened by pressing the baffle. This setting method can easily cause the user to accidentally touch the baffle, causing the opening of the mounting frame to open, and there is a risk that the data storage device will be detached from the mounting frame.

[0107] The embodiment of the present application provides a data storage fixing mechanism, comprising: a mounting frame, a stopper, a locking member, a first elastic member, and an operating member. The mounting frame has a connected accommodating cavity and a first opening, the accommodating cavity is used to accommodate the data storage, the first opening is used for the data storage to enter and exit the accommodating cavity along a first direction, and the mounting frame has a socket. The stopper is rotatably disposed on the mounting frame to open or cover the first opening.

[0108] The locking member is movably arranged on the blocking member, and the locking member has a first inclined surface. One end of the first elastic member is connected to the locking member, and the other end is connected to the blocking member; when the blocking member covers the first opening, the first elastic member can drive the locking member to be inserted into the socket to lock the relative position of the blocking member and the mounting frame. The operating member is movably arranged on the blocking member, and the operating member has an operating portion, and the operating portion has a second inclined surface, and the second inclined surface is parallel to and in contact with the first inclined surface; when the blocking member covers the first opening and the operating portion moves away from the mounting frame along the first direction, the second inclined surface drives the locking member to move in the second direction through the first inclined surface, so that the locking member is disengaged from the socket to allow the blocking member to open the first opening, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0109] In the above-mentioned data storage device fixing mechanism, by inserting the locking member into the socket of the mounting frame, the blocking member can be fixed at a position covering the first opening, thereby fixing the data storage device in the storage chamber, so that the data storage device is not easy to be separated from the storage chamber. On the one hand, the first elastic member can drive the locking member to be inserted into the socket, so that when the data storage device fixing mechanism is vibrated or collided, the blocking member is not easy to open the first opening, thereby reducing the risk of the data storage device being separated from the storage chamber; on the other hand, when the operating part moves away from the mounting frame along the first direction, the second inclined surface can cooperate with the first inclined surface to move the locking member to the socket to release the locking member from the mounting frame, so that when the operating part is pressed and moves toward the mounting frame, it can drive the locking member to move toward the socket, so that when the operating part is accidentally touched, it is not easy to drive the locking member to release the locking member from the mounting frame, so that the data storage device is not easy to be separated from the mounting frame.

[0110] The embodiments of the present application are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0111] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a chassis 200, including a case 201, a data storage device 202, and a data storage device fixing mechanism 100. The data storage device fixing mechanism 100 is disposed in the chassis 200, and the data storage device 202 is disposed in the data storage device fixing mechanism 100. The data storage device fixing mechanism 100 can accommodate the data storage device 202, thereby realizing the assembly of the data storage device 202 and the case 201.

[0112] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the chassis 200 further includes a connector 203, which is disposed on the case 201. When the data storage 202 is installed on the data storage fixing mechanism 100, the connector 203 is connected to the data storage 202, thereby achieving connection between the case 201 and the data storage 202.

[0113] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the data storage device 202 includes a storage module 2021 and a plug-in portion 2022, and the storage module 2021 is connected to the plug-in portion 2022. When the storage module 2021 is installed in the data storage device fixing mechanism 100, the plug-in portion 2022 is plugged into the connector 203. Through the connection between the plug-in portion 2022 and the connector 203, the connection between the data storage device 202 and the connector 203 can be achieved.

[0114] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the chassis 200 includes a plurality of data storage devices 202 , and a plurality of data storage device fixing mechanisms 100 are also provided, and each data storage device 202 is installed in one of the data storage device fixing mechanisms 100 .

[0115] See also Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the data storage fixing mechanism 100 includes a mounting frame 10, a stopper 20, a locking member 30, an operating member 40, and a first elastic member 50. The mounting frame 10 has a communicating accommodation chamber 111 and a first opening 112. The accommodation chamber 111 is used to accommodate the data storage 202, and the first opening 112 is used for the data storage 202 to enter and exit the accommodation chamber 111 along the first direction X. The stopper 20 is rotatably disposed on the mounting frame 10 to open or cover the first opening 112. The locking member 30 is movably disposed on the stopper 20 to cover or open the first opening 112. When the stopper 20 covers the first opening 112, the first elastic member 50 can drive the locking member 30 to insert into the socket 16 to lock the relative position of the stopper 20 and the mounting frame 10. The operating member 40 is movably disposed on the stopper 20, and the operating member 40 can drive the locking member 30 to move so that the locking member 30 is unlocked from the mounting frame 10.

[0116] When the data storage device 202 needs to be taken out from the accommodating cavity 111, the locking member 30 is first released from the blocking member 20, and then the blocking member 20 is rotated to open the first opening 112, so that the data storage device 202 can be taken out. When the data storage device 202 needs to be installed in the accommodating cavity 111, the data storage device 202 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 111 from the first opening 112, and the blocking member 20 is rotated to a state where the locking member 30 can be locked with the mounting frame 10, so that the data storage device 202 is installed. In the process of disassembling and assembling the data storage device 202 and the data storage device fixing mechanism 100, no tools are required, thereby saving operation time and facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the data storage device 202.

[0117] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mounting frame 10 includes a frame 11 having a receiving cavity 111 and a first opening 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111, and the data storage device 202 can enter the receiving cavity 111 from the first opening 112 in the opposite direction of the first direction X.

[0118] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 The dotted line in the figure indicates that part of the frame 11 is in a perspective state. In some embodiments, the frame 11 has an escape opening 113, and the escape opening 113 is located at an end of the frame 11 opposite to the first opening 112. When the data storage device 202 enters the accommodating cavity 111 from the first opening 112, the plug-in portion 2022 can pass through the accommodating cavity 111 from the escape opening 113 and connect with the connector 203. The setting of the escape opening 113 can reduce the interference between the plug-in portion 2022 and the frame 11, thereby facilitating the connection between the plug-in portion 2022 and the connector 203.

[0119] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the frame 11 includes a body 114 and a limiting piece 115, the limiting piece 115 and the frame 11 are enclosed to form an escape opening 113, the first opening 112 is provided on the body 114, and the opening and the escape opening 113 are provided at opposite ends of the body 114. The limiting piece 115 can limit the storage module 2021 from moving from the escape opening 113 to the outside of the accommodating cavity 111, so that the storage module 2021 is not easy to escape from the accommodating cavity 111. When the storage module 2021 is installed in the accommodating cavity 111, one end of the storage module 2021 connected to the plug-in portion 2022 abuts against the limiting plate 115, and the plug-in portion 2022 passes through the avoidance opening 113. This makes it possible for the plug-in portion 2022 to be blocked by the limiting plate 115 and unable to pass through the avoidance opening 113 when the data storage device 202 is installed upside down, thereby making it difficult for the data storage device 202 to be installed upside down, thereby facilitating the blind installation of the data storage device 202.

[0120] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the body 114 includes a first wall 1141, a second wall 1142, and a third wall 1143. The first wall 1141 and the second wall 1142 are disposed opposite to each other and connected to opposite sides of the third wall 1143. The first wall 1141 and the second wall 1142 are substantially parallel to each other, and the first wall 1141 and the third wall 1143 are substantially perpendicular to each other. The first wall 1141 and the second wall 1142 are disposed on the box body 201 at one side away from the third wall 1143. The first wall 1141, the second wall 1142, and the third wall 1143 enclose the accommodating cavity 111 and the first opening 112.

[0121] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the frame 11 further includes a partition 116, and a limiting plate 115 is also provided on a side of the partition 116 away from the first opening 112. The partition 116 is provided in the accommodation space, connected between the first wall 1141 and the second wall 1142, and used to separate two adjacent data storage devices 202, so that multiple data storage devices 202 can be installed in the accommodation space without interfering with each other.

[0122] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, the frame 11 is provided with an elastic metal sheet 12, for example, the elastic metal sheet 12 is provided on the side of the first wall 1141 or the second wall 1142 facing the inside of the accommodating cavity 111. When the data storage 202 is installed in the accommodating cavity 111, the data storage 202 contacts the elastic metal sheet 12, so that the data storage 202 has a grounding function. In addition, the elastic metal sheet 12 can push the data storage 202, so that the data storage 202 is not easy to shake, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the data storage 202.

[0123] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the mounting frame 10 further includes a sliding member 13, which is slidably disposed on the frame 11 along the first direction X and is located in the accommodating cavity 111, and can slide relative to the frame 11 at a first position and a second position. The first position is the position where the sliding member 13 causes a portion of the data storage device 202 to be located outside the accommodating cavity 111. The second position is the position where the sliding member 13 causes the entire data storage device 202 to be located inside the accommodating cavity 111. Figure 2 and Figure 5 The sliding member 13 in the embodiment is located in the second position. Figure 6The upper sliding member 13 is located at the first position, and the lower sliding member 13 is located at the second position. When the data storage device 202 is installed, the sliding member 13 can be driven to slide from the first position to the second position during the process of inserting the data storage device 202 into the accommodating cavity 111, that is, the sliding member 13 slides in the opposite direction of the first direction X; and when the data storage device 202 needs to be taken out, the sliding member 13 can slide from the second position to the first position and push the data storage device 202 out of the accommodating cavity 111, that is, the sliding member 13 slides in the first direction X.

[0124] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the sliding member 13 includes a pushing portion 131 and a sliding portion 132. The pushing portion 131 is disposed at one end of the sliding portion 132 away from the first opening 112, and the pushing portion 131 is connected to the sliding portion 132. The sliding portion 132 is slidably disposed in the frame 11, and the sliding member 13 is slidably disposed in the frame 11 through the sliding portion 132. The sliding direction of the sliding portion 132 is the sliding direction of the sliding member 13. The pushing portion 131 is used to push the data storage device 202 to move in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 111.

[0125] When the data storage device 202 is taken out, the locking member 30 unlocks the blocking member 20, the blocking member 20 is rotated to open the first opening 112 of the frame 11, and the pushing portion 131 pushes the data storage device 202 out of the accommodating cavity 111 through the sliding movement of the sliding member 13, thereby facilitating the removal of the data storage device 202. Here, "the pushing portion 131 pushes the data storage device 202 out of the accommodating cavity 111" means that at least part of the data storage device 202 is located outside the accommodating cavity 111, so that the data storage device 202 is completely removed from the accommodating cavity 111. When the data storage device 202 is installed, the sliding member 13 is driven to slide by pushing the pushing portion 131 during the process of inserting the data storage device 202 into the accommodating cavity 111.

[0126] In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity 111 of each frame 11 is used to accommodate multiple data storage devices 202, and each data storage device 202 is correspondingly provided with a stopper 20 and a sliding member 13. Multiple data storage devices 202 are stacked in the vertical direction, thereby saving installation space and facilitating the installation of multiple data storage devices 202.

[0127] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the mounting frame 10 further includes a first connecting member 14, the first wall 1141 is provided with a sliding hole 1144, the first connecting member 14 is passed through the sliding hole 1144 and can slide in the sliding hole 1144 along the first direction X, and the first connecting member 14 is connected to the sliding portion 132. Preferably, the first connecting member 14 is an I-shaped nail. When the sliding portion 132 slides, the first connecting member 14 slides along the sliding hole 1144, thereby providing a guide for the sliding of the sliding portion 132.

[0128] In some embodiments, a plurality of first connecting members 14 are provided, and the number of sliding holes 1144 is the same as that of the first connecting members 14 and they correspond one to one. The cooperation between the plurality of first connecting members 14 and the sliding holes 1144 improves the stability of the sliding of the sliding portion 132 .

[0129] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the mounting frame 10 further includes a second elastic member 15, one end of the second elastic member 15 is connected to the sliding portion 132, and the other end is connected to the first wall 1141 of the frame 11. The second elastic member 15 can generate elastic deformation in the first direction X. When the sliding member 13 is located at the second position, the second elastic member 15 is in a natural state; when the sliding member 13 moves to the first position, the second elastic member 15 is stretched and deformed to have an elastic force driving the sliding member 13 to slide to the second position, so that the sliding member 13 can automatically reset to the second position when not subject to external force, and the sliding member 13 is placed in the transportation process and accidentally pops out of the accommodating cavity 111.

[0130] Alternatively, the second elastic member 15 is a spring. The second elastic member 15 may also be other components with elastic deformation capability.

[0131] In some embodiments, the sliding portion 132 is also provided with an elastic metal sheet 12. The elastic metal sheet 12 of the sliding portion 132 and the elastic metal sheet 12 of the frame 11 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction Y, and can push the opposite sides of the data storage device 202, thereby improving the installation stability of the data storage device 202.

[0132] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mounting frame 10 has a socket 16, and the locking member 30 can be inserted into the socket 16 and locked with the mounting frame 10 so that the blocking member 20 covers the first opening 112; it can also be detached from the socket 16 and unlocked from the mounting frame 10 so as to open the first opening 112.

[0133] In some embodiments, the socket 16 is disposed on the second wall 1142 and is located on a side of the second wall 1142 for forming the first opening 112. One side of the blocking member 20 is rotatably connected to a side of the first wall 1141 for forming the first opening 112. By rotating the blocking member 20, the blocking member 20 can be rotated to a position covering the first opening 112, so that the locking member 30 and the socket 16 form a locking fit.

[0134] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the blocking member 20 includes a first rotating plate 21 and a second rotating plate 22. One end of the first rotating plate 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 10. The second rotating plate 22 is disposed on the first rotating plate 21 and forms an installation space with the first rotating plate 21. A portion of the locking member 30 and a portion of the operating portion 41 are disposed in the installation space.

[0135] The first rotating plate 21 and the second rotating plate 22 are provided to increase the thickness of the stopper 20 to improve the structural strength of the stopper 20, so that the stopper 20 is not easily damaged when it is hit. In addition, the installation space formed between the first rotating plate 21 and the second rotating plate 22 facilitates the installation of the operating member 40 and the locking member 30.

[0136] Alternatively, one end of the first rotating plate 21 is rotatably connected to a side of the sliding member 13 close to the first opening 112. When the sliding member 13 moves in the first direction X, it can also drive the blocking member 20 to move in the first direction X, so that the blocking member 20 can avoid the data storage device 202.

[0137] See also Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first rotating plate 21 includes a spring sheet 211, which is held against a side of the data storage device 202 facing away from the connector 203. When the spring sheet 211 is deformed, the elastic force generated is directed toward the data storage device 202, so as to improve the stability of the connection between the data storage device 202 and the connector 203.

[0138] See also Figure 1 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second rotating plate 22 is generally a box structure with an opening, and the opening faces the first rotating plate 21 to form an installation space with the first rotating plate 21. A first through hole 221 is provided on the side of the second rotating plate 22 facing the socket 16, and a portion of the locking member 30 can extend out of the installation space from the first through hole 221 to facilitate insertion into the socket 16.

[0139] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the blocking member 20 further includes an EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) spring 23, and a portion of the EMC spring 23 is disposed between the first rotating plate 21 and the second rotating plate 22. The EMC spring 23 has the ability to avoid electromagnetic interference and be interfered with, and can reduce the electromagnetic interference to which the data storage device 202 is subjected.

[0140] Further optionally, the EMC spring 23 includes a bending portion 231, the second rotating plate 22 is provided with a mounting hole 222, the bending portion 231 is arranged in the mounting hole 222, and the bending portion 231 can apply a force to the second rotating plate 22 toward the first rotating plate 21 to achieve assembly of the second rotating plate 22 and the EMC spring 23.

[0141] In some embodiments, the blocking member 20 has a hollow structure, and a light source is provided in the data storage 202. After the data storage 202 is loaded into the accommodating cavity 111 and the blocking member 20 covers the first opening 112, the light source can penetrate through the hollow structure, so that the user can observe the working condition of the data storage 202 through the light source.

[0142] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the stopper 20 further includes a second connecting member 24, one end of which is mounted on the first rotating plate 21 from the first rotating plate 21 toward one side of the mounting frame 10, and is connected to the second rotating plate 22 after penetrating the first rotating plate 21 and the EMC spring 23. The second connecting member 24 can connect the first rotating plate 21, the EMC spring 23, and the second rotating plate 22 to realize the assembly of the stopper 20.

[0143] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second connecting member 24 is a screw, the second rotating plate 22 is provided with a threaded hole 223, the first rotating plate 21 is provided with a second through hole 212, and the EMC spring 23 is provided with a third through hole 232. The screw passes through the second through hole 212 and the third through hole 232 and is threadedly connected with the threaded hole 223. This arrangement facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the components of the blocker 20.

[0144] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9In some embodiments, the locking member 30 has a first inclined surface 31. The operating member 40 has an operating portion 41, and the operating portion 41 has a second inclined surface 411, which is parallel to and in contact with the first inclined surface 31. When the blocking member 20 covers the first opening 112 and the operating portion 41 moves away from the mounting frame 10 along the first direction X, the second inclined surface 411 drives the locking member 30 to move in the second direction Y through the first inclined surface 31, that is, the operating portion 41 moves away from the first inclined surface 31. Figure 8 The displayed state moves to Fig. 9 In the state shown, the locking member 30 is disengaged from the socket 16 to allow the stopper 20 to open the first opening 112 , and the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0145] When the operating part 41 moves away from the mounting frame 10 along the first direction X, the locking member 30 can be moved to the disengagement socket 16 through the cooperation of the second inclined surface 411 and the first inclined surface 31, so that the blocking member 20 can be released from the mounting frame 10. This makes it possible for the operating part 41 to be driven to move toward the mounting frame 10 when it is pressed and moves toward the mounting frame 10, so that when the operating part 41 is accidentally touched, it is not easy to drive the locking member 30 to release the lock from the mounting frame 10, and the data storage device 202 is not easy to be detached from the mounting frame 10.

[0146] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the first inclined surface 31 extends along the direction in which the locking member 30 is inserted into the socket 16 and is inclined in a direction away from the mounting frame 10. When the operating portion 41 moves in a direction away from the mounting frame 10, that is, moves in the first direction X, the second inclined surface 411 slides relative to the first inclined surface 31 and drives the locking member 30 to move in a direction away from the socket 16 by pushing the first inclined surface 31.

[0147] The operating part 41 moves in the first direction X in a direction away from the mounting frame 10, so that the second inclined surface 411 slides relative to the first inclined surface 31, and the operating part 41 pushes the locking member 30 through the second inclined surface 411, so that the locking member 30 moves as a whole in the second direction Y, so that the locking member 30 can be unlocked from the socket 16. In this way, the movement of the operating member 40 in the first direction X is converted into the movement of the locking member 30 in the second direction Y, so as to control the unlocking of the locking member 30 from the socket 16 of the mounting frame 10.

[0148] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9In some embodiments, the locking member 30 further has a first blocking surface 32, and the operating portion 41 further has a second blocking surface 412, and the first blocking surface 32 is parallel to the second blocking surface 412. When the locking member 30 is inserted into the socket 16, the first blocking surface 32 contacts the second blocking surface 412 and restricts the operating portion 41 from moving toward the mounting bracket 10.

[0149] The operating portion 41 can move in the direction opposite to the first direction X toward the mounting frame 10, so that the locking member 30 can be inserted into the socket 16. After the locking member 30 is inserted into the socket 16, the second blocking surface 412 is restricted by the first blocking surface 32, so that the operating portion 41 is not easy to continue to move toward the mounting frame 10, so that when the operating portion 41 is subjected to external pressing force, it is not easy to continue to move toward the mounting frame 10, thereby reducing the impact of accidental touch on the operating portion 41.

[0150] See also Fig.10 When the operating member 40 is not subjected to external force, the operating portion 41 is located close to the mounting frame 10. At this time, the locking member 30 can move in the second direction Y when subjected to external force and is not easily affected by the operating portion 41, making it easy for the locking member 30 to move away from the socket 16 under the action of external force.

[0151] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, the operating portion 41 has a mounting groove 413, the mounting groove 413 has a second opening 4131 facing the mounting frame 10, a first protrusion 414 and a second protrusion 415 are arranged in the mounting groove 413, a part of the second inclined surface 411 is arranged on the first protrusion 414, and the other part is arranged on the second protrusion 415, a guide channel 416 is formed between the first protrusion 414 and the second protrusion 415, and the guide channel 416 is connected to the second opening 4131.

[0152] The locking member 30 includes a guide portion 33 , which is movably disposed in the guide channel 416 along the second direction Y. In the first direction X, the guide portion 33 can move relative to the operating portion 41 from the second opening 4131 to a direction away from the guide channel 416 .

[0153] By movably arranging the guide portion 33 in the guide channel 416, the guide portion 33 and the operating portion 41 are assembled, and the space occupied by the locking member 30 and the operating portion 41 after assembly is reduced. The guide channel 416 is connected to the second opening 4131, so that the guide portion 33 can enter and exit the guide channel 416 from the second opening 4131, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the guide portion 33 and the operating portion 41. The second opening 4131 can avoid the guide portion 33, so that part of the guide portion 33 can escape from the guide channel 416 from the second opening 4131, so that the operating portion 41 can move away from the mounting frame 10, thereby reducing the situation where the operating portion 41 cannot move in the first direction X.

[0154] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, the locking member 30 includes a mounting portion 34, the mounting portion 34 is connected to the side of the guide portion 33 away from the socket 16, the first blocking surface 32 and the first inclined surface 31 are provided on the mounting portion 34, and part of the mounting portion 34 is movably provided in the mounting groove 413. The mounting portion 34 is provided with a receiving space 341, and one end of the first elastic member 50 is provided in the receiving space 341. The provision of the receiving space 341 reduces the volume of the locking member 30 and can accommodate the first elastic member 50, thereby facilitating the reduction of the overall occupied space of the first elastic member 50 and the locking member 30.

[0155] See also Figure 7 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, the locking member 30 includes a locking portion 35, which is used to be inserted into the socket 16. The locking portion 35 has a third inclined surface 351, and the third inclined surface 351 is located on the side of the locking portion 35 facing the mounting frame 10. The third inclined surface 351 extends along the direction in which the locking portion 35 is inserted into the socket 16 and is inclined in a direction away from the mounting frame 10.

[0156] In the embodiment with the guide portion 33 , the locking portion 35 is connected to a side of the guide portion 33 close to the insertion opening 16 .

[0157] When the blocking member 20 rotates in the direction of covering the first opening 112, the side of the third inclined surface 351 of the locking portion 35 first contacts the mounting frame 10. After the third inclined surface 351 is squeezed by the mounting frame 10, under the elastic contraction of the first elastic member 50, it can guide the locking member 30 to move in the direction of leaving the socket 16 until the locking member 30 moves to a position that can avoid the mounting frame 10, so that the blocking member 20 can drive the locking portion 35 to rotate to a position aligned with the socket 16. After the locking portion 35 rotates to a position aligned with the socket 16, the third inclined surface 351 is not squeezed by the mounting frame 10, so that the locking portion 35 is inserted into the socket 16 under the elastic recovery of the first elastic member 50.

[0158] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, the operating member 40 further includes two elastic arms 42, which are disposed on both sides of the operating portion 41 along the second direction Y. One end of each elastic arm 42 is connected to the operating portion 41, and the other end of each elastic arm 42 abuts against the stopper 20. When the operating portion 41 moves in a direction away from the mounting bracket 10, the two elastic arms 42 are deformed to drive the operating portion 41 to move in a direction close to the mounting bracket 10.

[0159] By moving the operating part 41 in a direction away from the mounting frame 10, the two elastic arms 42 can be deformed, thereby generating an elastic force that drives the operating part 41 to move in a direction close to the mounting frame 10. In this way, after the operating part 41 is released, the operating part 41 can move in a direction close to the mounting frame 10 under the elastic force of the elastic arms 42, so that the operating part 41 can be restored to a state close to the mounting frame 10, thereby facilitating the locking member 30 to remain in a state of being inserted into the socket 16, making it difficult for the blocking member 20 to open the first opening 112.

[0160] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, each elastic arm 42 has a connecting hole 421, and the locking member 30 is movably disposed in the two connecting holes 421 along the second direction Y. By movably disposing the locking member 30 in the connecting holes 421, on the one hand, the assembly of the locking member 30 and the operating member 40 is achieved, and on the other hand, the cooperation between the connecting holes 421 and the locking member 30 can provide a guiding effect for the locking member 30, so that the locking member 30 can move along the second direction Y.

[0161] See also Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, one end of the first elastic member 50 is connected to the locking member 30, and the other end is connected to the blocking member 20. The first elastic member 50 can drive the locking member 30 to be inserted into the socket 16, so that when the data storage fixing mechanism 100 is vibrated or collided, the blocking member 20 is not easy to open the first opening 112, thereby reducing the risk of the data storage 202 being separated from the accommodating cavity 111.

[0162] In some embodiments, one end of the first elastic member 50 located in the accommodating space 341 is connected to the mounting portion 34, and one end of the first elastic member 50 located outside the accommodating space 341 is connected to the second rotating plate 22. When the locking member 30 moves in the second direction Y, the first elastic member 50 is compressed and deformed, so that when the locking member 30 is not subjected to the force of the operating portion 41, the locking member 30 can move in the opposite direction of the second direction Y under the elastic recovery action of the first elastic member 50, so as to remain in the state of being inserted into the socket 16.

[0163] Alternatively, the first elastic member 50 is a spring. The first elastic member 50 may also be other components with elastic deformation capability.

[0164] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the data storage fixing mechanism 100 further includes a third elastic member 60 , which is disposed on the mounting frame 10 and connected to the blocking member 20 . The third elastic member 60 can drive the blocking member 20 to rotate in a direction of opening the first opening 112 .

[0165] When the locking member 30 is unlocked from locking the mounting frame 10 , the blocking member 20 can be driven by the third elastic member 60 to rotate in a direction of opening the first opening 112 , thereby facilitating the blocking member 20 to open the first opening 112 and improving the convenience of operation.

[0166] See also Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first elastic member 50 is a torsion spring, the sliding portion 132 is provided with a mounting shaft 133, the torsion spring is sleeved on the mounting shaft 133, and one end of the torsion spring abuts against the first rotating plate 21, and the other end abuts against the sliding portion 132. One end of the first rotating plate 21 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 133. When the blocking member 20 rotates in the direction of opening the first opening 112, the torsion spring is deformed, and the force generated by the torsion spring can drive the blocking member 20 to rotate in the direction of shielding the first.

[0167] In some embodiments, by pulling the operating portion 41 in the first direction X, the operating portion 41 can drive the locking member 30 to move in the second direction Y to disengage from the socket 16, thereby releasing the locking member 30 from the mounting bracket 10. Then, the blocking member 20 automatically opens the first opening 112 under the action of the third elastic member 60. After releasing the operating portion 41, the locking member 30 can be driven to move in the opposite direction of the second direction Y under the action of the first elastic member 50, so that the locking member 30 remains in the state of being inserted into the socket 16. In addition, after the blocking member 20 opens the first opening 112, the data storage device 202 can be driven by the sliding member 13 to move in the first direction X, so that the data storage device 202 can be taken out. The sliding member 13 can also be reset to the second position under the action of the second elastic member 15, so as to drive the data storage device 202 into the accommodating cavity 111.

[0168] The locking member 30 and the mounting frame 10 are unlocked by pulling the operating portion 41 away from the mounting frame 10, so that the locking member 30 and the mounting frame 10 are not easily unlocked when the operating portion 41 is pressed by accident, thereby making it difficult for the data storage device 202 to detach from the accommodating cavity 111.

[0169] In addition, those skilled in the art may also make other changes in the present application. Of course, these changes made based on the present application should be included in the scope disclosed in the present application.
