[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the drawings in the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a storage device 10 for a hard disk, which includes a frame 100 and a carrier 200; a accommodating cavity 111 is provided inside the frame 100, and a card slot 112 is opened on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 111; the carrier 200 includes a frame body 210 and a card connection structure, the frame body 210 is provided with an installation cavity 211 for accommodating the hard disk 20, and a side wall of the frame body 210 is penetrated by a space-avoiding groove 212, one end of the card connection structure is connected to the frame body 210 and suspended in the space-avoiding groove 212, and the card connection structure is provided with a card connection portion 221; the carrier 200 is used to be inserted into the accommodating cavity 111, and the card connection portion 221 is card-engaged with the card slot 112.

[0034] In the hard disk storage device 10 of the present embodiment, an integrated snap-in structure and a frame body 210 are provided, and the support frame 200 and the frame 100 can be released by shifting the snap-in structure. Compared with the existing spring connection structure, the support frame 200 of the present embodiment has a simple structure and improved reliability.

[0035] Specifically, the carrier 200 further includes an abutting portion 230 , one end of which is connected to the frame body 210 and extends toward the mounting cavity 211 , and the abutting portion 230 and the inner wall of the frame body 210 abut against opposite sides of the hard disk 20 .

[0036] In this embodiment, by providing the abutting portion 230 to cooperate with the frame body 210, when installing the hard disk 20, first insert one end of the hard disk 20 into the installation cavity 211 and make the end of the hard disk 20 abut against the inner wall of the installation cavity 211, and then press the other end of the hard disk 20 into the installation cavity 211. At this time, the abutting portion 230 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 211 can be respectively pressed against the opposite sides of the hard disk 20 to fix the hard disk 20 in the frame body 210. Specifically, the abutting portion 230 and the inner wall of the installation cavity 211 can respectively abut against the two ends of the hard disk 20 in the length direction, or can also abut against the two ends of the hard disk 20 in the width direction.

[0037] Furthermore, the carrier 200 further includes a contact portion 240 , which is connected to the frame body 210 and protrudes toward the outside of the frame body 210 ; the contact portion 240 is at least partially an elastic structure and is used to abut against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 111 under the action of elastic force.

[0038] With this arrangement, when the carrier 200 is inserted into the accommodating cavity 111, the contact portion 240 can be pressed against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 111 under the action of elasticity, so that the carrier 200 can be fixed in the frame 100 through the contact portion 240, and the placement frame body 210 can slide out of the frame 100 to improve the placement stability of the carrier 200 in the frame 100. In one embodiment, the contact portion 240 can be an integrally formed plastic structure with the frame body 210, or the contact portion 240 can be a spring sheet installed on the outer side wall of the frame body 210. Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the contact portion 240 may be disposed on the outer side wall of the frame body 210. Of course, in other embodiments, such as Figure 3 In the placement state shown, the contact portion 240 can also be arranged on the front surface of the frame body 210 and located at the edge of the frame body 210. In this case, the contact portion 240 can position the frame body 210 in a direction perpendicular to the surface when it is installed in the accommodating cavity 111.

[0039] In some embodiments, the number of the contact portions 240 is at least two groups, wherein at least two groups of contact portions 240 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the frame body 210 and / or at least two groups of contact portions 240 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the frame body 210 .

[0040] When the contact portions 240 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the frame body 210, multiple groups of contact portions 240 can position the frame body 210 in this direction; when the contact portions 240 are respectively arranged on both sides of the frame body 210, the installation of the carrier 200 can also be positioned. Of course, the contact portions 240 can also be arranged on both adjacent side surfaces of the frame body 210 at the same time to improve the positioning stability of the carrier 200 in the frame 100. By arranging multiple groups of contact portions 240 to cooperate with the frame body 210, the installation stability of the frame body 210 in the accommodating cavity 111 can be effectively improved, and the connection accuracy between the hard disk 20 and the circuit board 150 in the frame 100 can also be improved.

[0041] Specifically, see Figure 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure also includes a connecting portion 222 and a buckling portion 223, one end of the connecting portion 222 is connected to the frame body 210 and suspended in the air avoidance groove 212, the snap-fit ​​portion 221 is arranged on the outer side of the connecting portion 222, the buckling portion 223 is connected to the connecting portion 222 and suspended in the installation cavity 211, and the buckling portion 223 is spaced apart from the hard disk 20.

[0042] In this embodiment, the snap-fitting portion 221 is connected through the connecting portion 222 and the snap-fitting portion 221 has elastic properties. When the snap-fitting portion 221 is snapped with the slot 112, the snap-fitting portion 221 can be deformed under the elastic action and finally snapped into the slot 112. When it is necessary to remove the carrier 200 from the frame 100, the snap-fitting portion 223 is moved so that the connecting portion 222 drives the snap-fitting portion 221 to move away from the slot 112. When the snap-fitting portion 221 is moved out of the slot 112, the lock between the two can be released, so that the contact portion carrier 200 can be pulled out from the frame 100, making disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0043] Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure further includes a reinforcing portion 224 . The buckling portion 223 is bent from the connecting portion 222 toward the inside of the installation cavity 211 . The reinforcing portion 224 is respectively connected to the connecting portion 222 and the buckling portion 223 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the reinforcing portion 224 , the connecting portion 222 , the buckling portion 223 and the frame body 210 are integrally formed so that the supporting frame 200 as a whole has a higher strength.

[0045] Specifically, the connection portion 222 is concavely disposed at a side away from the installation cavity 211 .

[0046] With this arrangement, since the inner recess of the connecting portion 222 is arranged on the side away from the moving direction of the clamping portion 221, the connecting portion 222 can have good elastic properties, so as to drive the clamping portion 221 to reset and enable the clamping portion 221 to be stably clamped and fixed to the clamping slot 112.

[0047] In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes a side frame 110, a front panel 120 and a magnetic component 130. The front panel 120 is connected to the side frame 110, and the accommodating cavity 111 is disposed in the side frame 110. The side frame 110 is provided with a bending portion 113, and the bending portion 113 bends and extends outward from the side frame 110. The magnetic component 130 is disposed between the bending portion 113 and the front panel 120.

[0048] Specifically, by providing a bending portion 113 on the side frame 110 to cooperate with the front panel 120, it is convenient to fix the magnetic member 130. When the frame 100 is connected to an external device, the frame 100 can be easily fixed and installed by adsorption of the magnetic member 130. Moreover, since the magnetic member 130 is provided on the inner side of the bending portion 113, the overall structure of the frame 100 can be made compact. Specifically, the frame 100 also includes a rear plate 140, which is covered on the rear side of the side frame 110. At this time, the circuit board 150 can be provided on the inner side of the rear plate 140 and used for signal connection with the hard disk 20. Thus, the frame 100 can form a modular structure after being connected to the carrier 200, which is convenient for the overall installation of the hard disk storage device 10 with the external device.

[0049] Of course, in some embodiments, after the hard disk storage device 10 is installed in a device such as a chassis or a storage device, since the front panel 120 is provided with a magnetic component 130, a ferromagnetic cover can be provided on the outside of the front panel 120 and fixed by adsorption through the magnetic component 130, which can not only realize the dustproof protection function but also facilitate the user's disassembly and assembly.

[0050] Furthermore, a connecting hole 213 is formed through the side wall of the frame body 210 , and the connecting hole 213 is used to correspond to the threaded hole on the hard disk 20 .

[0051] It is understandable that after the hard disk 20 is installed in the carrier 200, in order to further stabilize the hard disk 20, a fastener may be inserted through the connection hole 213 and connected and fixed with the threaded hole of the hard disk 20. Of course, when the carrier 200 is provided with an abutment portion 230 to cooperate with the hard disk 20, the positioning of the abutment portion 230 can make the hard disk 20 directly correspond to the connection hole 213 after being installed in place, thereby improving the convenience of installation.

[0052] The utility model further provides a data storage device, which comprises a hard disk storage device 10 and a hard disk 20 in any one of the above embodiments; the hard disk 20 is detachably connected to a carrier frame 200 of the hard disk storage device 10 .

[0053] It can be understood that in the data storage device of this embodiment, by setting the hard disk storage device 10 in any of the above embodiments, the hard disk storage device 10 is provided with an integrated clamping structure and the frame body 210, and the release of the carrier 200 and the frame 100 can be achieved by toggling the clamping structure. Compared with the existing spring connection structure, the carrier 200 of this embodiment has a simple structure and improved reliability. Specifically, the data storage device can be a server or a network attached storage.
