Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid-state drive technology, and specifically relates to a solid-state drive structure. Background Technology

[0002] In practical applications, especially for devices such as data centers, large server clusters, or high-performance computers that require multiple solid-state drives (SSDs) to be connected simultaneously, multiple SSDs are typically installed in a close-packed or vertically stacked manner to accommodate more storage units within a limited space. This high-density installation layout results in extremely narrow spacing between adjacent SSDs. The almost touching arrangement prevents effective air convection between the drives, causing the heat generated by each SSD during high-speed read and write operations to accumulate and form localized high-temperature areas. Because the operating space between the drives is extremely small, it is difficult for operators to insert or remove them with their fingers or tools. Even slight carelessness can lead to poor contact or interface damage by touching adjacent drives. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solid-state drive structure that can improve the convenience of disassembly and maintenance of solid-state drives.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention discloses a solid-state drive (SSD) structure, including a base, a hard drive body, and a handle fixed to the upper surface of the hard drive body. A lever is fixed to the lower surface of the hard drive body. The hard drive body is slidably mounted in the base. A hook is fixed to the end of the base. A sliding frame is slidably mounted on the lower side of the base. A first elastic support device is installed between the sliding frame and the base. A snap-fit ​​block is fixed to the side of the sliding frame. A stop block is fixed to the inner side of the snap-fit ​​block. The end of the hook can fit tightly against the surface of the snap-fit ​​block. A first channel, a second channel, and a third channel are arranged inside the snap-fit ​​block, connected end to end. The first channel, the second channel, and the third channel together form an installation space for installing the stop block. The bottom surfaces of the first channel, the second channel, and the third channel are progressively lower. A groove corresponding to the hook is formed at the upper end of the stop block. A snap-fit ​​block corresponding to the lever is formed on the upper side of the sliding frame.

[0005] Furthermore, a groove is provided on the base, and the locking block is slidably installed in the groove. The side of the locking block is arc-shaped, and the pusher block forms a round shell-shaped structure corresponding to the shape of the locking block.

[0006] Furthermore, the hook is made of elastic material and has elastic damping force.

[0007] Furthermore, a fan is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the sliding frame. The fan is connected to a power supply and a controller. The two wires of the fan are connected to the first connector and the second connector, respectively. The first connector is mounted on the base, and the second connector is mounted on the sliding frame. When the hook and the groove are engaged, the first connector and the second connector are in contact.

[0008] Furthermore, the second connector includes a copper pillar fixed to the upper side of the sliding frame, and the first connector includes two symmetrically arranged paddles, with a clamping space between the two paddles for clamping the copper pillar, and the two paddles forming a locking angle on the rear side for engaging the copper pillar.

[0009] Furthermore, the fan is installed inside the heat dissipation cavity formed on the inner side of the sliding frame, and the heat dissipation cavity has multiple heat dissipation holes.

[0010] Furthermore, a heat insulation plate is fixed to the upper side of the base, and the heat insulation plate is fixed to the upper side of the hard disk body at intervals. An installation groove is opened on the lower side of the heat insulation plate. The installation groove is connected to a support block through a second elastic support device. Multiple balls are rotatably installed on the lower side of the support block. Under the support of the second elastic support device, the balls are in elastic contact with the upper surface of the hard disk body.

[0011] Furthermore, an opening groove is provided on the heat insulation board, and the handle extends upward from the inside of the opening groove.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention discloses a solid-state drive structure that uses a sliding frame and a base to work together. The position of the hard drive body can be changed by moving the handle on the upper side of the hard drive body without manually touching the surface of the hard drive body. The direction of movement is consistent with the direction of the wiring of the hard drive body, thereby solving the problem of being unable to plug and unplug the hard drive body because the operator's fingers or tools cannot reach the wiring.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention discloses a solid-state drive structure, including a base 1, a hard drive body 2, a handle 3 fixed to the upper surface of the hard drive body 2, and a lever 4 fixed to the lower surface of the hard drive body 2. When the handle 3 is manually operated, the lever 4 can be moved together, thereby driving the sliding frame 6 to move.

[0016] The hard drive body 2 is slidably mounted inside the base 1 and can be displaced relative to the base 1 along the length of the hard drive body 2. A hook 5 is fixed to the end of the base 1, and a sliding frame 6 is slidably mounted on the lower side of the base 1. A first elastic support device 7, which is a spring, is installed between the sliding frame 6 and the base 1. A snap-fit ​​block 8 is fixed to the side of the sliding frame 6, and a stop block 9 is fixed to the inner side of the snap-fit ​​block 8. The hook 5 has elastic prestress. In normal condition, the end of the hook 5 can fit tightly against the surface of the snap-fit ​​block 8. During subsequent movement, it can adapt to the slope changes between the three channels, thereby changing the engagement state between the hook 5 and the snap-fit ​​block 8.

[0017] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​block 8 is provided with a first channel 10, a second channel 11, and a third channel 26 connected end to end. The first channel 10, the second channel 11, and the third channel 26 together form an installation space for installing the stop block 9. The bottom surfaces of the first channel 10, the second channel 11, and the third channel 26 are successively lowered. The upper end of the stop block 9 forms a groove 12 corresponding to the snap hook 5. The upper side of the sliding frame 6 forms a snap block 13 corresponding to the push block 4.

[0018] The working principle and process of the device of the present invention are as follows: Before inserting or removing the hard drive body 2, the hook 5 is located at the outer end of the first channel 10. After the cable is installed, when it is manually inserted into the base 1, the lever 4 moves the sliding frame 6. The sliding frame 6 and the locking block 8 move together relative to the base 1. At this time, the hook 5 can move from the first channel 10 into the second channel 11 along with the movement of the locking block 8, and stop at the uppermost position of the second channel 11. After releasing the handle 3, the locking block 8 moves upward, allowing the hook 5 to move along the second channel 11. When the hook 5 reaches the tail of the second channel 11, it engages with the groove 12 on the stop block 9, and at this time it is in the installed position.

[0019] When the hard drive body 2 needs to be plugged in or unplugged for maintenance, simply control the handle 3 again. The handle 3 will move the sliding frame 6. Due to the step between the three channels, the hook 5 can only enter the third channel 26 from the second channel 11 and then slide out along the third channel 26 to return to its original position, thus releasing the device. After release, the wiring can be easily disconnected. At this time, the hard drive body 2 can be taken out by the handle 3, which is convenient to use.

[0020] In this embodiment, a sliding groove 14 is provided on the base 1, and the locking block 13 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 14. The side of the locking block 13 is arc-shaped, and the push block 4 forms a round shell structure corresponding to the shape of the locking block 13, which makes it easier for the push block 4 to push the locking block 13 to perform the action and reduce the occurrence of jamming.

[0021] In this embodiment, the hook 5 is made of elastic material and has elastic damping force, which allows the hook 5 to adapt to the slope changes of the channel, making the snapping action of the hard disk body 2 smoother.

[0022] In this embodiment, a fan 15 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the sliding frame 6. The fan 15 is connected to a power supply and a controller. The two wires of the fan 15 are connected to a first connector and a second connector, respectively. The first connector is mounted on the base 1, and the second connector is mounted on the sliding frame 6. When the hook 5 is engaged with the groove 12, the first connector and the second connector are in contact, and the fan 15 starts normally. When the hook 5 is disengaged from the groove 12, the hard disk body 2 is disengaged from the base 1. At this time, the first connector and the second connector are misaligned, so that the power supply to the fan 15 is automatically disconnected, reducing energy waste.

[0023] In this embodiment, the second connector includes a copper pillar 16 fixed on the upper side of the sliding frame 6, and the first connector includes two symmetrically arranged paddles 17. The two paddles 17 form a clamping space for clamping the copper pillar 16. The two paddles 17 form a locking angle on the rear side for engaging the copper pillar 16, which facilitates contact and engagement between the copper pillar 16 and the paddles 17.

[0024] In this embodiment, the fan 15 is installed in the heat dissipation cavity 18 formed inside the sliding frame 6. The heat dissipation cavity 18 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 19 to facilitate heat dissipation.

[0025] In this embodiment, a heat insulation plate 20 is fixed to the upper side of the base 1. The heat insulation plate 20 is fixed to the upper side of the hard disk body 2 at intervals. A mounting groove 21 is provided on the lower side of the heat insulation plate 20. The mounting groove 21 is connected to a support block 23 through a second elastic support device 22. Multiple ball bearings 24 are rotatably mounted on the lower side of the support block 23. Under the support of the second elastic support device 22, the ball bearings 24 elastically contact the upper surface of the hard disk body 2. By designing the heat insulation plate 20, burns to the operator can be prevented. At the same time, the support block 23 of the heat insulation plate 20 elastically separates the hard disk body 2, which can achieve a good heat insulation effect without affecting the movement of the hard disk body 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the heat insulation plate 20 has an opening groove 25, and the handle 3 extends upward from the inside of the opening groove 25.
