[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a storage device that is easy to assemble described in one embodiment of the utility model includes a shell 1, a bracket 2 is arranged in the shell 1, a storage module 3 is arranged on the bracket 2, and an accommodating portion for accommodating the storage module 3 is arranged on the bracket 2, and the end face of the bracket 2 abuts against the inner wall of the shell 1.

[0031] During assembly, the storage module 3 is first placed in the receiving portion of the bracket 2, which allows the storage module 3 to be firmly fixed on the bracket 2. Next, the bracket 2 with the storage module 3 is placed as a whole in the housing 1, and the end surface of the bracket 2 is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the housing 1, thereby achieving the assembly of the storage device.

[0032] In this embodiment, the storage module 3 is fixed in the shell 1 by the bracket 2, and cumbersome steps such as welding and glue fixing are not required, and the production efficiency is greatly improved. The shell 1 is adapted to the female socket of the USB interface, and a connecting pole is provided on the storage module 3. The assembled storage device can be connected to the female socket of the USB interface, that is, there is no need to weld the connecting port, which not only simplifies the assembly process and improves production efficiency, but also reduces the risk of failure caused by improper welding. At the same time, due to the close fit between the bracket 2 and the shell 1, the need to use adhesives such as glue for fixing is avoided. This fixing method is not only more environmentally friendly, but also makes the entire storage device more compact and stable in structure. And due to the close fit between the bracket 2 and the shell 1, the stability and durability of the equipment are significantly improved.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the bracket 2 includes a base 201, and the two ends of the base 201 are respectively provided with a first limit baffle 202 and a second limit baffle 203, and the top of the first limit baffle 202 is provided with two limit claws 204. The number of the limit claws 204 can be set according to comprehensive considerations such as product requirements and production efficiency. The accommodating portion is surrounded by the base 201, the first limit baffle 202, the second limit baffle 203 and the limit claws 204.

[0034] The storage module 3 is provided with a connecting electrode on one side thereof as the top side, and the end close to the connecting electrode is the second end. After assembly, the top side of the bottom bracket 201 contacts the bottom side of the storage module 3, and the bottom of the bottom bracket 201 contacts the wall surface of the shell 1, which is used to support the storage module 3. The spacing between the first limiting baffle 202 and the second limiting baffle 203 is equivalent to the length of the storage module, and the first end and the second end of the storage module 3 are limited respectively. The limiting claw 204 is located above the storage module 3, the bottom surface of the limiting claw 204 contacts the top surface of the storage module 3, and the top surface of the limiting claw 204 contacts the wall surface of the shell 1, thereby limiting the top surface of the storage module 3, and the width of the bracket 2 and the width of the storage module 3 are both equivalent to the width inside the shell 1, thereby limiting the sides of the bracket 2 and the storage module 3. The container formed by the base 201, the first limiting baffle 202, the second limiting baffle 203 and the limiting claw 204 limits the bottom, the first end, the second end and the top of the storage module 3, and the shell 1 can limit the two sides of the storage module 3, thereby limiting each side of the storage module 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the accommodating portion provides a safe and stable storage space for the storage module 3, preventing it from shaking or shifting during operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the storage device and the stable storage of data. At the same time, the storage module 3 is not limited on both sides of the bracket 2, which facilitates the placement of the storage module 3 from the side of the bracket 2 into the accommodating cavity, facilitates the assembly of the bracket 2 and the storage module 3, and improves production efficiency.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a avoiding groove 205 is provided on the base 201 , and the position of the avoiding groove 205 corresponds to the projection position of the limiting claw 204 on the base 201 .

[0037] In this embodiment, by making the avoidance groove 205 correspond to the position of the limiting claw 204, the avoidance groove 205 can avoid position in the vertical direction during the production and processing of the limiting claw 204, which is convenient for processing; the avoidance groove 205 can effectively reduce the material consumption of the base 201 while ensuring the structural stability of the base 201, which not only reduces the manufacturing cost but also helps to realize the rational use of resources.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting claw 204 is made of an elastic material, which is tilted upward before assembly to form a certain space for facilitating the installation of the storage module. After assembly, it is elastically bent under the pressure of the wall of the shell 1, which not only enhances the connection stability between the limiting claw 204 and the shell 1, but also ensures that the storage module 3 is firmly fixed in the accommodating portion. In this embodiment, the limiting claw 204 not only ensures the smooth progress of the assembly process, but also realizes the stable fixation of the storage module 3. The elastic material can be plastic, elastic steel sheet, etc.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the bracket 2 is integrally formed. Since there is no welding or assembly gap between the parts of the bracket 2, the overall structure is more solid and stable, which effectively improves the shock resistance and durability of the storage device. Secondly, the integral molding simplifies the assembly process, reduces the risk of failure caused by improper assembly, and improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the top of the limiting claw 204 is provided with two sections of raised limiting bosses 206, and the number of limiting steps 101 can be set according to product characteristics and production capacity. From the first end to the second end of the limiting claw 204, the height of the limiting boss 206 increases, and a transition slope 207 is provided between the limiting claw 204 and the limiting boss 206. A limiting step 101 that contacts the top surface of the limiting boss 206 is provided at the top of the inner side of the shell 1; a limiting boss 208 is provided at the bottom of the second end of the limiting claw 204, and the bottom surface of the limiting boss 208 contacts the top surface of the storage module 3.

[0041] During assembly, since the size of the first end of the bracket 2 is comparable to the opening size of the housing 1, and the first end of the bracket 2 is provided with a chamfer, it is convenient to push the bracket 2 together with the storage module 3 into the housing 1. At the same time, a transition slope 207 is provided to make the pushing process smoother, so that the limiting claw 204 is gradually bent to prevent damage due to too fast change of force. After assembly, the limiting boss 206 is in close contact with the limiting step 101, and the limiting protrusion 208 is in close contact with the storage module 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the close contact between the limiting boss 206 and the limiting step 101 effectively prevents the storage module 3 from shaking and displacement during operation. At the same time, the transition slope 207 between the limiting claw 204 and the limiting boss 206 enables the limiting claw 204 to undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation when subjected to force, and combined with the limiting protrusion 208 at the bottom of the second end of the limiting claw 204, its fixing effect is further enhanced, so that the storage module 3 is stably supported.

[0043] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, a storage device assembly jig in one embodiment of the utility model includes a jig body 4, on which a plurality of first accommodating grooves 401 and second accommodating grooves 402 are arranged, the first accommodating grooves 401 and the second accommodating grooves 402 are collinear, the first accommodating grooves 401 are used to accommodate the shell 1, the second accommodating grooves 402 are used to accommodate the components of the bracket 2 and the storage module 3, the components of the bracket 2 and the storage module 3 slide along the second accommodating grooves 402, so that the components of the bracket 2 and the storage module 3 slide into the shell 1.

[0044] When the jig is used, the housing 1 to be assembled is first placed in the first receiving groove 401 on the jig body 4, and the pre-assembled bracket 2 and storage module 3 assembly is placed in the second receiving groove 402, and the assembly is aligned with the opening of the housing 1. Then, the bracket 2 and storage module 3 assembly is pushed or pulled to slide along the second receiving groove 402. During the sliding process, the bracket 2 and storage module 3 assembly is gradually aligned with the opening of the housing 1, and finally slides into the housing 1 to complete the assembly process.

[0045] The assembly jig realizes the precise positioning of the components of the housing 1, the bracket 2 and the storage module 3 through the first receiving groove 401 and the second receiving groove 402 on the jig body 4, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the assembly. On the other hand, the sliding assembly method simplifies the assembly steps and can assemble multiple storage devices at the same time, improving the assembly efficiency and reducing the difficulty and defect rate of manual operation.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a slideway 403 is provided on the side of the second accommodating groove 402 away from the first accommodating groove 401 of the fixture body 4, and a push plate 5 is slidably provided on the slideway 403, and the push plate 5 slides on the slideway 403 to push the components of the bracket 2 and the storage module 3 to slide along the second accommodating groove 402.

[0047] When in use, the assembler first places the housing 1 and the bracket 2 and storage module 3 components in the first receiving groove 401 and the second receiving groove 402, respectively, and ensures that they are stably placed. Then, the assembler holds the push plate 5 and slides it along the slideway 403. During the sliding process, the push plate 5 contacts the bracket 2 and storage module 3 components and pushes them to slide along the second receiving groove 402.

[0048] The combined use of the slideway 403 and the push plate 5 not only simplifies the assembly steps and improves the assembly efficiency, but also reduces the errors and damages during the assembly process. The sliding action of the push plate 5 makes the assembly process smoother, reduces the assembly difficulty, and improves the assembly accuracy.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a limiting tongue plate 501 is provided at the second end of the push plate 5, and the limiting tongue plate 501 is used to limit the second end of the assembly of the limiting bracket 2 and the storage module 3, and can extend into the shell 1 to limit the position of the second end of the assembly of the limiting bracket 2 and the storage module 3 in the shell 1.

[0050] When in use, the push plate 5 slides along the slideway 403, and when the bracket 2 and storage module 3 components are pushed along the second accommodation groove 402 to slide into the housing 1, the limiting tongue plate 501 will first contact the second end of the bracket 2 and storage module 3 components. As the push plate 5 continues to push, the limiting tongue plate 501 not only plays a limiting role to ensure that the components enter the housing 1 smoothly, but also can extend into the interior of the housing 1 to further limit the position of the bracket 2 and storage module 3 components in the housing 1.

[0051] The limiting tongue plate 501 ensures the stability and accuracy of the bracket 2 and storage module 3 components during the assembly process, and effectively reduces the shaking or displacement of the components during the movement. At the same time, the limiting tongue plate 501 can penetrate deep into the shell 1 and cooperate with the structure of the shell 1 to provide additional support and fixation for the components, thereby enhancing the overall stability, improving the assembly accuracy, and ensuring the performance and reliability of the storage device.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the jig body 4 is provided with a pressing plate 6 above the first accommodating groove 401, and the pressing plate 6 is detachably connected to the jig body 4. Specifically, a positioning column is provided on the jig body 4, and a positioning hole is provided on the pressing plate 6. When the jig body 4 and the pressing plate 6 are connected, the positioning column is inserted into the positioning hole. Alternatively, a first magnetic attraction member is provided on the jig body 4, and a second magnetic attraction member is provided on the pressing plate 6, and the jig body 4 and the pressing plate 6 are magnetically connected through the first magnetic attraction member and the second magnetic attraction member.

[0053] When in use, for the case of a connection method using a positioning column and a positioning hole, the assembler only needs to align the positioning hole on the pressure plate 6 with the positioning column on the fixture body 4, and then gently press down, and the positioning column can be smoothly inserted into the positioning hole to achieve a stable installation of the pressure plate 6. For the case of a magnetic connection method, the assembler only needs to bring the pressure plate 6 close to the fixture body 4, and the first magnetic suction part and the second magnetic suction part will automatically be adsorbed together to complete the installation of the pressure plate 6. When the pressure plate 6 is separated from the fixture, the top of the first accommodating groove 401 is open for placing the shell 1; when the pressure plate 6 is connected to the fixture, the top of the first accommodating groove 401 is closed, and the shell 1 can be limited.

[0054] In this embodiment, the connection mode of the positioning column and the positioning hole ensures the precise alignment between the pressing plate 6 and the fixture body 4, and improves the accuracy and consistency of assembly. The magnetic connection mode makes the installation of the pressing plate 6 more convenient and quick, and the stability of the magnetic force also ensures that the pressing plate 6 is not easy to loosen or fall off during use.

[0055] like Figure 5As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the fixture body 4 includes a first body and a second body, the first receiving groove 401 is provided on the first body, the second receiving groove 402 is provided on the second body, and the first body and the second body can be connected by magnetic attraction or plug-in. After the assembly is completed, the first body and the second body can be separated to facilitate pouring the assembled storage device from the first receiving groove 401.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
