Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-state drive technology, specifically to a support-type SSD protection module based on linkage self-locking. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs), also known as solid-state drives, are hard drives made using solid-state electronic storage chip arrays. They consist of a control unit and storage units (FLASH chips and DRAM chips). SSDs are completely identical to traditional hard drives in terms of interface specifications and definitions, functions, and usage methods. They also have the same product shape and size, but their I / O performance is significantly improved. They are widely used in military, automotive, industrial control, video surveillance, network monitoring, network terminals, power, medical, aviation, and navigation equipment, among other fields.

[0003] In the current technology, solid-state drives (SSDs) used in the market are generally fixed with screws, one by one, onto the motherboard.

[0004] However, the following problems exist during the installation process: existing solid-state drives (SSDs) are not installed securely and stably enough, and the installed SSDs are prone to shaking. Moreover, the installation and removal of SSDs requires the installation and removal of multiple screws, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, when the mounting medium vibrates or shakes, it will affect the hard drive. If the mounting medium has poor shock absorption, the hard drive is easily damaged by long-term vibration in a vibrating working environment. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Preferably, the support plate is in a "hui" shape, a positioning plate two is provided at the opposite end of the support plate and the extension plate, placing seats are provided in the middle of the upper side walls of the other two opposite ends of the support plate, the placing seats are in an "L" shape, and sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the upper side wall of the extension plate symmetrically.

[0017] Preferably, the slider and the clamping spring are both sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] This invention drives a cooling fan to rotate via a drive component, which in turn blows air into the protective housing through a dustproof air intake cover. This process not only cools the hard drive fixed on the support plate but also prevents dust from entering. In addition, heat is expelled through the heat dissipation holes, thus creating air circulation and better dissipating heat inside the protective housing, preventing the hard drive from overheating and being damaged during operation.

[0020] This invention uses a support plate and connecting rod to drive a damping block on a slide rod to compress or stretch the buffer springs on both sides. After the vibration ends, the damping action of the damping block allows the buffer springs to maintain their original length, avoiding reciprocating vibration, thereby achieving shock absorption of the hard drive and preventing damage to the hard drive due to stress.

[0021] This invention allows for quick installation and removal of the protective cover and the protective shell by rotating the rotating column with the positioning rod, making the positioning rod fit tightly into the limiting groove, and finally rotating the fixing nut.

[0022] This invention places one end of the hard drive inside the first positioning plate, then presses down the other end of the hard drive. Through the squeezing action between the side wall of the hard drive and the chamfer, the slider connected to the second positioning plate compresses the clamping spring on the fixing rod, ultimately making the hard drive fit against the placement seat. The force of the clamping spring on the slider clamps and fixes the hard drive to the second positioning plate and the first positioning plate. The placement seat limits the hard drive, which facilitates the installation and removal of the hard drive while preventing displacement and ensuring operational stability. In addition, protective pads can be set on the opposite side walls of the second positioning plate and the first positioning plate to increase the protection of the hard drive surface and reduce damage.

[0034] For purposes of simplicity and illustration, the principles of the embodiments are described primarily by way of example. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that these embodiments may not be limited to these specific details in practice. In some instances, well-known methods and structures have not been described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring these embodiments. Furthermore, all embodiments can be used in combination with each other.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This invention provides a technical solution: a self-locking support-type SSD protection module, comprising:

[0036] Protective cover 1; each of the four corners of the protective cover 1 has a limiting angle 102. A clamping plate 101 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the protective cover 1. A hinge seat 402 is provided in the middle of the side walls of the two symmetrical ends of the protective cover 1. The hinge seat 402 is rotatably connected to the two ends of the rotating column 401. Through the action of the limiting angle 102, the limiting block 201 and the clamping plate 101, the protective cover 1 and the protective shell 2 can be initially limited to ensure the rapid fixation of the subsequent fixing mechanism 4.

[0037] The protective housing 2 is connected to the protective cover 1. The protective housing 2 is equipped with a heat dissipation mechanism 3 and a buffer mechanism 5 inside. The heat dissipation mechanism 3 includes a dustproof air intake hood 303, and the buffer mechanism 5 includes a connecting rod 501, a buffer spring 502, a sliding rod 503, and a damping block 504. The protective housing 2 is provided with heat dissipation holes 301 on the inner walls of opposite ends near the buffer groove 202. The bottom side wall of the protective housing 2 is fixedly connected to the dustproof air intake hood 303. The bottom end of the dustproof air intake hood 303 is provided with a drive assembly 304. The inner side of the dustproof air intake hood 303 is provided with a cooling fan 302. The output end of the drive assembly 304 is fixedly connected to the cooling fan 302.

[0038] The drive component 304 can be a motor, which drives the cooling fan 302 to rotate. This, in turn, blows air into the protective housing 2 through the dustproof air intake shroud 303, cooling the hard drive fixed on the support plate 603 while preventing dust from entering. In addition, heat is discharged through the heat dissipation hole 301, thus forming air circulation and better dissipating heat inside the protective housing 2, preventing the hard drive from overheating and causing damage during operation.

[0039] Both the buffer spring 502 and the damping block 504 are sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rod 503. The two ends of the slide rod 503 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the opposite ends of the buffer groove 202, respectively. The two ends of the buffer spring 502 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove 202 and the side wall of the damping block 504, respectively. The damping block 504 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 503 and the inner wall of the buffer groove 202. The end of the damping block 504 away from the buffer groove 202 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 501. The other end of the connecting rod 501 is hinged to the support plate 603.

[0040] When the protective housing 2 is vibrated, the support plate 603 shakes, which in turn drives the damping block 504 to squeeze or stretch the buffer springs 502 on both sides of the slide rod 503 through the connecting rod 501. After the vibration ends, the damping effect of the damping block 504 makes the buffer springs 502 maintain their original length, avoiding reciprocating vibration, thereby achieving shock absorption of the hard drive and preventing damage to the hard drive due to stress.

[0041] The fixing mechanism 4 is fixedly connected to the protective cover 1. The fixing mechanism 4 includes a rotating column 401, a fixing plate 403 and a positioning rod 407. One end of the positioning rod 407 is provided with a fixing nut 405. One end of the positioning rod 407 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating column 401. The outer wall of the other end of the positioning rod 407 is provided with an external thread 404, which is threadedly connected to the fixing nut 405. The protective shell 2 is provided with a limiting block 201 at each of the four corners of one end, which cooperates with the limiting angle 102. The middle of the side walls of the two symmetrical ends of the protective shell 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 403. The side wall of the other end of the fixing plate 403 is provided with a limiting groove 406 that cooperates with the outer wall of the positioning rod 407. The inner walls of the two symmetrical ends of the bottom of the protective shell 2 are provided with buffer grooves 202.

[0042] By moving the positioning rod 407 to rotate the rotating column 401, the positioning rod 407 is made to fit tightly with the limiting groove 406. Finally, the fixing nut 405 is rotated to facilitate the quick installation and removal of the protective cover 1 and the protective shell 2.

[0043] Positioning mechanism 6 is located inside the protective housing 2. Positioning mechanism 6 includes a support plate 603, with an extension plate 607 at one end. Both sides of the extension plate 607 are symmetrically equipped with sliders 605, clamping springs 608, and fixing rods 609. A positioning plate 601 is located above the extension plate 607. The support plate 603 is U-shaped. A positioning plate 602 is located at the opposite end of the support plate 603 and the extension plate 607. Placement seats 604 are located in the middle of the upper sidewalls at the other two opposite ends of the support plate 603. The placement seats 604 are L-shaped. The extension plate... The upper sidewall of 607 has symmetrical grooves 610 on both sides; the slider 605 and the clamping spring 608 are both sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed rod 609. The two ends of the fixed rod 609 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the opposite ends of the groove 610, and the two ends of the clamping spring 608 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the groove 610 and the side wall of the slider 605, respectively. The slider 605 is slidably connected to the fixed rod 609. The slider 605 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 1 601. The positioning plate 1 601 is "L" shaped. The corner of the positioning plate 1 601 near the positioning plate 2 602 is chamfered 606.

[0044] Place one end of the hard drive inside the positioning plate 601, then press the other end of the hard drive. The squeezing action between the side wall of the hard drive and the chamfer 606 causes the slider 605 connected to the positioning plate 602 to compress the clamping spring 608 on the fixing rod 609. This causes the hard drive to fit against the placement seat 604. The force exerted by the clamping spring 60 on the slider 605 clamps and fixes the hard drive between the positioning plate 602 and the positioning plate 601. The placement seat 604 limits the hard drive to prevent displacement and ensure operational stability. In addition, protective pads can be placed on the opposite side walls of the positioning plate 602 and the positioning plate 601 to increase protection of the hard drive surface and reduce damage.

[0045] In actual use, first place one end of the hard drive inside the positioning plate 601, then press the other end of the hard drive. The squeezing action between the hard drive's sidewall and the chamfer 606 causes the slider 605 connected to the positioning plate 602 to compress the clamping spring 608 on the fixing rod 609, ultimately causing the hard drive to fit against the placement seat 604. The clamping spring 600's force on the slider 605 clamps and secures the hard drive between the positioning plate 602 and the positioning plate 601. The placement seat 604 also limits the hard drive's position, preventing displacement and ensuring operational stability. Additionally, protective pads can be placed on the opposite sidewalls of the positioning plate 602 and the positioning plate 601 to increase protection of the hard drive surface and reduce damage. Then, the connection between the limiting angle 102 and the limiting block 201, along with the action of the locking plate 101, allows the protective cover 1 and the protective housing 2 to be initially positioned, ensuring rapid fixation of the subsequent fixing mechanism 4. Finally, by moving the positioning rod 407, the rotating column 401 is rotated, thus fixing the hard drive... The rod 407 fits tightly against the inner wall of the limiting groove 406. Then, the fixing nut 405 is rotated to facilitate the quick installation and removal of the protective cover 1 and the protective housing 2. In addition, the driving component 304 drives the cooling fan 302 to rotate, which in turn blows air into the protective housing 2 through the dustproof air intake shroud 303. This not only dissipates heat from the hard drive fixed on the support plate 603 but also prevents dust from entering. Heat is also discharged through the heat dissipation hole 301, thus creating air circulation and better dissipating heat inside the protective housing 2, preventing the hard drive from overheating and being damaged during operation. Furthermore, when the protective housing 2 is vibrated, the support plate 603 shakes. This causes the connecting rod 501 to drive the damping block 504 to compress or stretch the buffer springs 502 on both sides of the slide rod 503. After the vibration ends, the damping effect of the damping block 504 keeps the buffer springs 502 at their original length, preventing reciprocating vibration and thus achieving shock absorption for the hard drive, preventing damage to the hard drive due to stress.

[0046] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
